Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this morning show in Boston.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning. It's just a great
start to my day.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Hey guys, good morning, Welcome in. It is the Billy
and Lisa Show. I'm justin hope you had a great weekend.
We have a lot to get to this.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Morning, justin you've got a story you want to talk about.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Well, yesterday I was at home, you know, sitting on
my couch after work, a little tired, and you know,
I have a credit card that I use for pretty
much everything for the miles, you know, Capitol one card,
and so I had longed on to check something. I'm
not good about checking my transactions. I should be better
about that. Yeah, for fraud, right, Oh sure. So I
open it up and I'm looking and I see all

(00:39):
these charges on them again. Ok yeah, but this is
I know you might remember last year I gave all
my money away. Yes, that was my debit card, but
this is my credit card. So I see all these
charges that are pending, like six of them, and it
says Xbox.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh it's your son.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Okay. So then I'm like, I'm confused, and I start
to scroll down a little bit to cry O transactions,
and it was unbelievable. So now I'm like, my son's
in school, and so he plays Xbox. Obviously, sure, so
I call Xbox. I'm on the phone with them. I'm
chatting online trying to figure they're trying to help me.

(01:16):
They can't figure it. I was a whole thing. Turns
out he was my card. I had put on his
game for a ten dollars subscription so he could play
like with his friends. And so that means when he
goes to buy they're called v bucks on fortnight, he
just he just was just buying them?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
How much?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yeah? How much are we talking here? I really don't
want to say, say it was?

Speaker 2 (01:37):
It like a thousand.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Dollars around them? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:42):
Yeah, it's parent are going to reverse some of the charges.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
They will not.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Yeah, wow, you know I never used to. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Here's here's the best part. Can I just best part? Okay,
So it's my I. I talked to my son. I
didn't yell at him. I didn't say he was in trouble.
I should have known better. He didn't. I mean, he
when he goes to buy them, it doesn't say like,
here's your card. Automatically you press the button and boom
you know. So when he got home, I explained that
to him and he was very understanding and he was like,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and he goes, hold on a second, Dad,

(02:17):
I'm gonna make this right. And he walks into the
other room and comes back with his wallet that he
has and he opens his wallet and he takes out
the two dollars wallet and he goes here.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Dad, I like that.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
He gave you everything. He had, the whole two bucks.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
So it's just a warning for parents out there if
they play video games, don't have your card on there.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, the same thing happened to us alone.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:43):
Also a heads up check your transactions because last year
I never really looked at transactions a lot, and last
year I happened to look, and I think it was
my MX card and there were like thirty to forty
Uber chargers in a row, like like a string of
Uber chargers, thousands of dollars and it wasn't me, and
it was all in San Francisco, and I'm like, I
guess that must be where they're offering, and you know,

(03:06):
I called.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
All I did was call Amex. Luckily it was the
AMEX card and they wiped it. Out.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
That's the good news. But the bad news I saw
it on my credit report. So I still got hit
on my credit report because of Uber falsely or like
crookedly charging me.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Can I give you to a tip?

Speaker 7 (03:24):
You guys can on the apps that you have, have
them notify you and it's a charge. So I have
an Airmax card that's for my Delta. Could I have
a Delta card? Yeah, and every time I make a purchase,
I get a little notification with the personages.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And for how much more?

Speaker 8 (03:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh that's good what you see.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's a good tip. I use my card for everything.

Speaker 7 (03:40):
Yeah, but I mean it's worth it for the times
that you're like with the able thing.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
You could have caught that a month ago, you.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Know, yeah, b Books, Fortnite, thousand, thousand evens. There was
it was around there. It was, you know, twenty five dollars.
It was averaging about one hundred dollars the day a day,
going back several days.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh god, well, I'm glad you caught it.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Luckily I looked. So that's the PSA for today. Make
sure you check your transfer and you can pull the
plug on it.

Speaker 8 (04:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I took my card off and he was very understanding
of that.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Yeah, you know, well it seems like.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
He did there.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
I mean for eight like him trying to give you
his two dollars and being apologetic.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
That's a win.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yes, yeah he was. He was very understanding and he
could see that I was upset.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
It's an expensive win as a parent, but it's a win.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah, did you keep the two bucks?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I gave him the two bucket? You know. I'm a good.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Dads And we're back with the Villy and Lisa in
the morning.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Everybody, Good morning, justin here. So I come from Malden.
That's where I grew up, right down the street. So
it's always great when Malden kids like myself do awesome things.
And that's the case in this situation with Joe, Cody
or Kota. Wait, what is it?

Speaker 6 (04:48):
I was gonna say, If it's Cody, you've got to
change it to kot because you're a big time author.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Oh, Joe Cotay is coming in. Okay, So Joe, you
wrote a short. First of all, you were a school.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Teacher in Dartmouth, mass right, Yes, And what do you
teach there?

Speaker 9 (05:04):
So I am an esp in English classes and I
do some academic support for some specialized classes.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
Okay, but you're from Malden. I am from Alden, went
to the Malden School system.

Speaker 10 (05:14):
M I just two thousand and eight.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Justin went to school in Malden. But it was in
a garage. I don't know if you know that story.

Speaker 10 (05:21):
Oh no, yeah, I've been in there.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Oh really, you've probably been there teaching. He was there
as Yeah, but we all do. Yeah. Look where he
is now his dream job.

Speaker 10 (05:33):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Okay, So, Joe, you wrote a short story. Now when
did you write the short story.

Speaker 9 (05:38):
It was the end of twenty twenty, during all the
COVID stuff if you remember that.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
Oh so, like all the other superstars that exploded during COVID,
you're one of those superstars. Yeah wow, okay, So what
is the story about?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Quickly?

Speaker 9 (05:51):
Yeah, so this drifter woman she sees a photo of
a long missing girl. She looks the family up and
sees that they have a lot of money, and she
thinks I could be that girl, And so she goes
to the house with the intent to rob them, and
it goes really well, nothing bad happens.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Wait, so is she pretending to be the long lost daughter?

Speaker 8 (06:11):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
And you posted this on Reddit.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
I did, Wow, have you signed up for Lisa's book
Club yet?

Speaker 10 (06:21):
No, I want to hear about that.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Well, I think we need to have you.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh I love that.

Speaker 10 (06:24):
Yeah, my gosh.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, Well everybody's gonna hear about it. Because here's the deal.
This short story of yours. Somehow actress Sidney Sweeney got
a hold of it.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Now, how did that happen?

Speaker 9 (06:38):
Yeah, so about a year ago, it was like four
years after I wrote this story, I got a message
on Reddit from a man claiming to be a Hollywood
producer and I ignored him.

Speaker 10 (06:50):
I didn't think it was real, and he messaged me again.

Speaker 9 (06:54):
I rejected him, and he said, listen, man, you're gonna
want to get on the phone with me.

Speaker 10 (06:58):
And so we got on a zoo call. I saw
that he was real, and now here we are.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
And he represents Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 9 (07:06):
No, no, no, no, I think I'm not sure that
on the production side of it, but I think I
would imagine it just got sent out and she read
it and enjoyed it and agreed to be attached to it.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
Now we're talking about the same Sydney Sweeney from Euphoria
and from The White.

Speaker 10 (07:21):
Lotus yes, I mean I hope.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
So who's now your pal?

Speaker 10 (07:26):
Well yeah, no, no, I would love to though. She's phenomenal.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
But this gets better because the person writing the movie
is the same person who wrote Forrest Gump.

Speaker 10 (07:41):
Yeah. Yeah, oh my no surreal.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, pretty good movie and another big movie, right.

Speaker 10 (07:48):
Star is born.

Speaker 9 (07:51):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch, I know. So all these
articles that my friends and family are sending me. Obviously
there's there's my stupid face next to Sydney, which is awesome,
but yeah, the Eric Roth thing is equally as exciting.

Speaker 10 (08:03):
He's incredible.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
So now do your students think you're the coolest thing
on earth now? Because I mean, you know, young people
love Sydney Sweeney, I mean Euphoria.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
You kidding me?

Speaker 10 (08:12):
Yeah, it's it's been wild walking down the hallways. Now.
You don't think they thought I was cool before?

Speaker 8 (08:18):
Really?

Speaker 6 (08:19):
The first thing I thought when you walked in just
oozing school is cool?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
This guy's screams cool.

Speaker 9 (08:25):
No, it's been fun walking down the hallways. Actually, last
week I heard a group of kids say, hey, that's
the guy like, just say hello, I'm still your teacher.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yeah, so are you invited back to Malden? To like
speak now to the classes or.

Speaker 9 (08:40):
Oh no, I haven't spoken anyone to anyone yet from Malton,
but I would Yeah, I would love to you.

Speaker 10 (08:45):
My time in MHS was was phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Have they given you a timeline? Like when will this
movie come out? Do you think?

Speaker 8 (08:51):
No?

Speaker 10 (08:51):
I don't know. Probably probably a couple of years. I
don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
Yeah, now do you do you even have to go
to the ATM anymore?

Speaker 10 (09:00):
Listen, I'm still living on a teacher's budget, but I.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Love this, like will inspire kids like who you're teaching
to just keep writing because you never know what's going
to happen.

Speaker 9 (09:11):
So I just spoke to We have a podcast at
Dartmouth High and I was just telling the kids, and
I know it sounds so obvious and so silly, but
it's true. You just have to write, just keep going forward.
It's so easy to look at that paragraph you have
and hate it and keep going. Get a hundred pages
of crap down and then we can figure it out
from there. And then don't be afraid to share it.

(09:32):
Anything you're creating, just get it out.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Well.

Speaker 6 (09:34):
The fact is, I mean you mentioned this happened for
you during COVID and the pandemic. But the fact is
the pandemic also got a lot of people reading that
hadn't been reading for a long time.

Speaker 9 (09:44):
The amount of luck that I had on this right, Like,
the timing was perfect. If you go onto that form
where I posted on Reddit, there's just so there were
so many stories. So the fact that mine had gained
some traction enough to be at there, it's on like
the I think it's currently the top most liked post
all time on that particular forum. Really, but like you said,

(10:05):
I think it's just caught some traction and that's how
my now manager saw it.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Well, do you have any other short stories floating around?

Speaker 10 (10:13):
I mean, oh, we're already working.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
On I'm sure you are.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
They so they bought the script, right, and are you
executive producing the movie?

Speaker 6 (10:23):
I am yeah, you have final say no, I don't
know about that.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
So they can mess around with your script if they want.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
Oh yeah, and I am totally fine with that.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Do you get a cut if the movie does well?

Speaker 10 (10:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Now'd Yeah, Joe, you're our friend people, he's got a
good deal.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
I grew up in these cameras. Does that count?

Speaker 10 (10:46):
Yeah? I mean I've been listening to you since I
was a kid, So we're good.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh oh, well.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Thank you for that, Thank you for that. Don't feel
the need to throw anything my way. I'm happy to
have done it. But that is great. So you're already
pushing a couple of video the short stories. Let me
ask you this, if it weren't Sidney Sweeney, who would
you have played it for?

Speaker 9 (11:04):
Oh my gosh, man, what a question. My beautiful girlfriend
over there in the next room.

Speaker 10 (11:15):
No, I don't know. Honestly, I would have been.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
So happy if this was some bad TV movie, you
know what I mean, Just the fact that anyone is
even interested at all.

Speaker 10 (11:25):
I would have been so happy for that.

Speaker 9 (11:26):
So the fact that that it is where it is is,
it's just well surreal.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
I mean, I can look back to so many years ago,
the first time we had Ben Mazerick on the show,
and then all of a sudden, Ben. I don't think
Ben Mezick has a book that hasn't been made into
a movie, So you're the next Ben.

Speaker 10 (11:43):
That's the goal we are.

Speaker 9 (11:44):
We're hoping that, like I said, obviously I have another
story in the works where we're gonna keep this going. Yeah,
but I'm hoping that one day I am the one
who's adapting the stories.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
But you got an advance.

Speaker 10 (11:55):
It's common yet.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
Yeah, what's the first thing you're gonna do for yourself?
That's what people always say, do something for yourself. So
what's the first thing this Malden kid teaching at Dartmouth
High School.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Is going to do for He's looking through the windows.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Looking for the windows? Are you thinking? Ring No?

Speaker 11 (12:14):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss Rue Away Studios.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
We're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning Kiss, Good.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Morning, everybody, Welcome in Monday morning. Justin here, Billy, Lisa, Winnie,
producer Riley. Trying to make some extra money this summer.
Maybe take a vacation, could use the extra scratch. We
got you one thousand bucks coming your way at nine ten.
It's Kiss went to wait summer vac payday. We got you.
In the meantime, we got a DM recently from a
listener with the craziest job interview experience. So we had

(12:43):
to get the King of Key West on the phone.
That's Lisa's uncle Mark, who owns several businesses in Key West,
including a strip club.

Speaker 8 (12:51):
Good morning, you guys, going it's going okay.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
We have to imagine you've had some strange job interviews, Mark.

Speaker 8 (12:59):
Yes, we do. You have a lot of them in
the old red Garter where it's always harder in the Garter.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Oh, there it is.

Speaker 6 (13:04):
Yeah, so that's the strip joint. Now what are the
general requirements there on Mark.

Speaker 8 (13:10):
Well, you know, you take a look at the girl,
and you know we hire all shapes and sizes because
not one size, pick all, you know everything.

Speaker 6 (13:21):
Yeah, I had I had a feeling, uncle Mark, this
was going to take a weird turn.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
There's no discrimination.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
There, no no discrimination.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, just just bringing in you know what people like.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Man.

Speaker 8 (13:35):
You know, one guy likes one thing and somebody likes
something else. So we got to make sure everybody's happy.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
You want to have it be well rounded.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's a good bass model.

Speaker 8 (13:44):
Yeah, they're around to get it.

Speaker 6 (13:46):
Well okay, uncle Mark, I was I was thinking maybe
we'll talk more about the restaurant. Now, a typical job
interview for the restaurant.

Speaker 8 (13:56):
Well, that's just if you can Marten, you know, and
you know that's bartending skills. That's a whole different thing
from in the Garter. Now, you're skills and dance is
a whole different thing. In the Garter, you look for
a girl that knows how to use the pole.

Speaker 6 (14:13):
Okay, you want to be good with the pole?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Your audition for that, like, yeah, yeah, we have auditions.

Speaker 8 (14:21):
Yeah, you come in, you got to see the manager
and you do a dance there and you do the pole,
and then we go from there to maybe going down
there and show me your money maker, A lot of

(14:44):
different money makers.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Yeah you have machine you need. Yeah, look at the.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Maybe we should have screened that call one a.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Lot about it.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, there's a couple of minutes, but it is about
weird and bad and just awful job interviews.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Wait, isn't that called amateur night? That isn't that what
they do there? I think they're coming. Yeah, let's just
move on.

Speaker 12 (15:19):
Hey, you guys, But Club Daisy, So, prior to owning
the daycare, which I do now, I was a recruiter
for twenty years and.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
I asked this gentleman, you know, back in the day.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
What's your favorite book?

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Because I was like stuck for questions.

Speaker 12 (15:34):
He looked at me, dead in the face, and he says,
a profile of all American serial killers.

Speaker 13 (15:39):
I was like, okay, interview over.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
Yeah, that's strange, thank you, Like, yeah, okay, thanks for
coming in.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
The thing about job interviews is, you know, some people
have anxieties and fears and they get nervous, you know,
and they say crazy things.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
I don't remember ever being on a job interview.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Well, you've been at the same job for many, many,
many years.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
My job interview here had I had a rap what?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, yeah, it was stupid. Let's visit that.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
No, we don't need to do that.

Speaker 7 (16:10):
No, no, no, So I have my internship which I
got hired through, and that she only hired me because
she liked my name. And then I had to audit.
I had an audition or interview for the Street Team,
which was like our you know, it's our events staff.
You go out, you know, the kids in college, they
go out and they do all the cool events.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
And they had the.

Speaker 7 (16:28):
Older Street teamers interview you and they're like, what would
you do? How would you entertain the crowd? So I
just you know, I took the mic and I entertained
the crowd.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Wow, and you got the job.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
And here I am and they never interviewed me again.

Speaker 4 (16:41):

Speaker 2 (18:57):
It's pretty fast. That's quick.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
And I was like half an hour or forty minutes
in have my you know, air pods, in running, running, running, running, running, focused,
and someone came up to me, a woman and very nice,
but she just stood right in front of the treadmill.
And I don't know this person, and she just stood
there and started talking to me. So I had to
take my earbut out and I was like, Hi, how
are you?

Speaker 8 (19:19):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Are you do you want to run in this road race?
I have a charity and you know, I see you
running and I was just like, are you kidding me?

Speaker 8 (19:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (19:28):
I was like okay, I said, yeah, do you have
a card or something? But I was just like, it
was nice that she said hello. I don't know if
she knew who I am or who I don't know
anything about. I've never met her before, but I was
just like I said to Justin, I'm like, what do
you think about this?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Like it was a little weird.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
It's to me, it's she's I'm sure she's super nice.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, poor etiquette. It's yeah, you don't cut into somebody
if they're in the middle of a lift or on
their on cardio. You just wait till they're done. Yea.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
You said it happens to you and you're like, you know,
doing weights.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, oh, it's happened before to me. Yeah, that's one
of my biggest thing. If I'm in the middle of
lifting weights, you know, you wait till I'm done.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
There are a lot of things you just don't do
in the gym. I've got another one and I run
into this all the time. If you're in a gym
and it's busy and sometimes you have to wait for
the machine that you've already started working on whatever.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
It could be a lat machine of bench press.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
Whatever, and you're standing there waiting and the person using
the machine you're still using is on the phone talking
and sitting at the machine and in the way, like okay,
really do text thing. Yeah a put the phone down,
finish the workout, and get out of my way.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Are you bench pressing?

Speaker 8 (20:37):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (20:38):
You said bench press?

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Of course?

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Why what's the problem?

Speaker 13 (20:40):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Good, good for you.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
Now that's great when you do Wait a minute, you
just said that, like, well you drop the bench press
bench press.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Like yeah, And he's up to forty five pounds about
the whole bar by himself.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
It's called progress. It's a bigger bar. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah. Another one for me is I was telling Lisa
is the dumb bell rack has the mirrors in front
of it, obviously, is when people come up when the
gym is busy, even if it's not busy, pick up
the dumbbells and don't move, stand right in front of
the mirror to do their dumbbell curl and you're trying
to get around them. That's happened a lot recently.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
Yeah, I see that where I go. I have to
ask you a question. You know, the dumbbells. Are you
supposed to wipe them off after you're dying. I do, okay, yeah,
because I never see people wiping them off. Yeah, and
I just didn't know, like, was that like a thing.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah, that's another thing.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
A lot of people will take the dumbbells and walk
over to the other side of the gym and then.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Then leave them.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Half empty.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Yeah yeah, yeah, the dumbbells being dirty. They tested them before.
They are filthy because nobody cleans them. I just joined
a new gym and and it's it's a beautiful gym.
I love it so much. And that's the owner is
big on that. I'm putting your weights away, wiping your
machines down, you know, Jim etiquette, because the other gym's
commercial gyms just gets out of control.

Speaker 5 (22:02):
Also, like the mats that you stretch on, I always
take a cloth and wipe them off to when I've done.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
Yeah, well, between the mats and even the bench itself.
If you're benching and there's the bench involved, and the
person before you gets up and there's like a layer
of sweat on the bench and he just walks away,
and I really.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Do it's really disgusting. And sometimes I think about what
these people, what did their houses look like? Oh boy,
if this is what they're doing in.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Public, I don't want to know.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
I don't want to know either. It's crazy.

Speaker 13 (22:31):
I'm a group workout kind of girl, so I do
a lot of classes and it is a pet peeve
when I hear people having like a full on conversation
during a class. I'm sorry, do you already know what
you were doing here? Because I've been going for a
while now and I still don't have a clue. So
let's just all use our listening ears.

Speaker 6 (22:51):
Yeah, there was a period of time when I do
a lot of spin classes and I got away from
that because it never failed. You always, and you know
who I'm talking about, You always had you get to
the class right. You always had one or two people
that were there like a half hour before the class
and they're sitting so that they can get the front bike,
you know, and then during the class they're like chanting

(23:13):
and yelling at the intor and everything like dude, you know,
stay home, you know.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Just stay home.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
The grunters are out, yeah, Like, but no, they feel
they need to put on a show because they think
they're faster than you.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
You know, I could stay right with the instructor. Okay, good,
for you.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, I'll go to work or they'll do if you're
doing a dumbbells or something, they'll grab the ones that
are heavier right in front of you.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah, so well you must be a real pain in
the acid. Yeah, you know, I just feel like respect.
I spend a lot of time in the gym. Just
have some respect. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Do you go to the front desk and complain?

Speaker 15 (23:54):
I don't complain, and we're back with Billy and Lisa
in the morning.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
I'm not really a morning person, but if I got
to wake up early, might as well get a good
lass on, kiss one away.

Speaker 8 (24:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Today's topic jim etiquette. What are the dues and don'ts?
When you are working out? Do you put your weights away?
Do you wipe down the machines? Do you sing loudly
when you're working out?

Speaker 15 (24:15):
I used to work at a gym in college, which
is longer ago than I'd like to admit, But one
of the big rules was no cell phones in the gym,
and the bigger thing was about theicking cameras. And I
suppose now it's a little different. Cell phones has been
more excepted. But I've been at the gym before and
a kid working had his cell phone up and it
felt like he was videoing me.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
And I don't know if he was or not. I
said something, but I don't know phones in the gym or.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
That he was.

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Now that that is creepy in arail issue. The other
thing is filming in gyms. That's really popular now, which
I'm not against, you know, for social media whatever. Maybe
they want to take a video of their form. Oh yeah,
but I've had instances where they set the tripod up
on the gym. What it's in the way, Oh yeah,
right in front of the dumb that into themselves.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yes, if they set up a tripod.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
It's allowed.

Speaker 8 (25:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well one of my gyms I go to, it's not.
But I'm fine with it. I don't care. I'll be
in your video. It doesn't bother me personally. But if
it's in the way, then it's a problem, you know. Yeah,
I asked the kid to move his tripod. It was
a whole setup.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
So he walks from station to station in the gym
carrying his tripod, yes, and then sets it up so
he can film himself.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, And I liked. I tell myself it's not just
for social media and TikTok. It's because you know he
wants to study his form, because that's true too. You know,
it's good to watch video of your show working out,
but that's a real problem as well. The tripods.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah, but also I don't think you need to post
yourself on social media in the gym, like, okay.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
It's really popular work. Yeah, everyone wants to be a
fitness influencer.

Speaker 11 (25:56):
Good Morning Morning show. You guys are talking about jim
etiquette pet peeves. When somebody takes all of the freeways
and lines them up around them and as the ones
that you need, they're not using them currently, and you
just ask if you can use them real quick.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
They're like, no, amusing them.

Speaker 11 (26:13):
I was like, well, you don't need forty five weeks
to do what you're doing currently. The other one is
wipe your machines down. I don't want to sit on
your sweat gross.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, so gross.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
I see most people come over and they wipe it
down before they work out, just to make sure it's
wiped out. Yeah no, no, no, but then they'll do
it after too. I just noticed like people doing tho.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
No, I usually wipe before.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah I don't, but I probably should because people are gross.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Are you sure you can't assume everybody's wiping?

Speaker 3 (26:42):
No, no, no, I see it all the time. They
don't wipe, they just walk away right winning.

Speaker 13 (26:47):
I work out next to Justin all the time at
the gym, and I always want to say hi.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
But also I feel like the gym is like the
safe space, so.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
You don't bother someone when you're in the middle of
a workout.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah, yeah, can say hi anything, just not when I'm
mid mid set.

Speaker 6 (27:03):
You know, that's kind of cool. You've got a woman
eyeballing you every day.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
That's well, she's not eyeballing me, she's eyeball in my
workout partner.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Do you think you know who she is?

Speaker 3 (27:11):
I'm not sure what happens at the gym though. With
me is I have short time. I have small children,
so it's not really a social time for me and
my workout partner. My best friend everyone wants to talk
to me.

Speaker 12 (27:25):
Soccer.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah, and he's funny too.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Yeah, and he's very playful. But I don't have time
for all that disruption, So sometimes I put a look
on my face like I'm unapproachable.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
I do it on purpose. You have a playful gym
partner that's.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, he's playful, he really is. He's funny, so he's personable,
he's friendly.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Yeah, and now he gets recognized because of social media.
That's another whole thing. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (27:49):
So all those reasons you just listed about the gym
etiquette is all the reasons why I do not go
to the gym and work out at home. However, my
husband also works out at home, and my biggest pet
peeve with him is his form is so bad when
he's doing weights. It drives me crazy. Right, have a
great day, guys.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Oh she's judging his form.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Was she helping him?

Speaker 4 (28:13):
I'm not sure she was trying, but it can be insulting.
Michelle tries that with me sometimes, Oh you a bad form?

Speaker 8 (28:18):
No?

Speaker 6 (28:18):
No, no, Like it's like I just started being able
to do real push ups with my broken shoulder. You know,
I've been doing partial pushups and it's been going well,
and I'm doing it right away. Like on the first set,
she's going, you got to lift your ass up, while
I said, Okay, I'm I feel so fortunate that I
can push my body up again.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Okay, this is what you call progress?

Speaker 7 (28:40):
Back off, Well, your wife's dow in a gym she's
a gym, so.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
She's well, yeah, no, she knows what she's doing. Cut
me some slack here.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Okay, okay, okay, don't have that tone at eight ten
when we call her friend, we're all right, it's her birthday.

Speaker 8 (28:54):
I have to be non.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
I may bring it out and say, by the way,
back off in the gym, all right on her birthday.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Let's just forget you said that.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Jump out with it.

Speaker 7 (29:05):
Going to I got to say, I'm more than grateful
after listening to you guys that I go to a
semi private gym because I don't have.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Any of these issues.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
There are benefits to it, you know, like.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
My treadmill is broken right now at home.

Speaker 16 (29:14):
So can we talk about the gawking and blatantly staring,
especially for women when men walking by, because you're most
likely wearing stretch dance tighter clothes, mid drift showing whatever.
They do not care who is watching. They will look
you up and down and give you the eyeball until
you were hot to fight. Oh it's gross. Gives me

(29:37):
the creeps.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
No, I no, I really, I really do feel for
women in the gym. You know, these guys, they stare
They creeps I noticed that some women, though, if they
have yoga pants on, they'll they'll get a sweatshirt and
they'll tie it around their waist so that the backside
is covered.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Or an oversized shirt.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
An oversized shirt, specially if they're sprawling out on the map.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Very true.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
Yeah, Well, you're doing a lot of movement in the
gym that can be looked sexually if somebody is a
curve the hip thrust.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Yeah, yeah, I mean there's nothing more sexual than the
hip thrust machine.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, you're stretching a certain way.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Gym I go to.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
The mats are in a separate area, so it's kind
of off to the side.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Sure, yeah, which is probably.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
What Billy what he wants to say, something he does,
He has that look on his face.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Just the gawkers.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
It's not it's really creepy. It is these guys because
it makes women feel uncomfortable and it should be a
safe space, you know, and you should be able to
dress how you want exactly without guys. What Lisa, can you.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
Get a hold of He stop, Billy, because you strike
me as a gaker.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
So that's why I'm sitting here looking at I don't think.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Justin I don't think he's just to show in to
himself at the gym. He all his form right.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Does his biceps look good?

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Does his butt look better than it did yesterday?

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Is he doing enough cardio?

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Justin is so? Which is fine? Revolved around himself with
the gym.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
By the way, my my, my glutes have grown considerably
