There’s a viral bachelorette party trend blowing up all over social media... signs that say “Venmo the Bride” or “Buy the Bride a Drink!” Gianna spotted one on TikTok where the bride proudly flexed her sign, but the comments were not having it. Some say “Let her live, it’s her weekend!” while others say "No way, they're already spending enough money as is!” 

We take the topic to Group Chat, and our listeners are definitely split!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Your sun is out once again.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Our Celtics won yesterday and we're celebrated all afternoon long.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
On Kiss, I want to wait commercial for you right now.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's Mikey V jumping in alongside my big bro, actual brother,
Frankie V and our best friend Gianna. Brain fuzz when
you just can't literally get through the workday and you
can't think a mana Does that ever happen to you
over there in Medford?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Be fuzzy?

Speaker 1 (00:20):
See John, just talking about how we feel like brain fuzzy?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Now, yeah, that's great, And this is why I want
everybody in the studio as well as yourself to do
this one simple thing to sharpen your focus. All you
got to do is place your hands in your lower
back and sit like this. When you're sitting with your
hands on your lower back, apparently this is the alert
stance and it singles your brain to pay attention.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
So when you got your hands on you like I'm
getting arrested. Hey, but look at that. You guys are
paying attention. It works. You all are paying attention. I'm
looking at each other paying attention.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
The only reason why I helped us pay attention during
the show is because Gihanna can't grab her phone. Hands off, Amanda,
Have you heard about this woodpecker? You're in Massachusetts. That's
like destroying cars. If you wake up in your car
rearview mirror or you're like your side mirror shattered.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, it's because of this woodpecker. Pecker. Yeah, is it
just one woodpecker. It's probably a couple.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
But they're in Newport, Massachusetts right now, and they're going around.
They go to your like your your mirrors, and they
pecked the heck out of them list and they shattered them.
It's happened over twenty five people recently.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But that's not even the crazy part. The crazy part,
are you ready? Yes, it is because.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
They are in mating season, so when they see themselves
in the mirror, they think it's competition.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's two guys like, no, you're not getting her, I'm
getting her.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
And then he's just like it's a matter attacking his
own self, thinking it's competition during mating season.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
If Pumans did this.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
She went to Mikey's bathroom when he was singing his
kissing the mirror head on the mirror, What.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Are you doing? He's getting out of my competition.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Over here.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
This guy's coming after my wife.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Tu Truce and a liright here on Kiss one oh eight.
It's Mikey V, Frankie V and Gianna. Wendy's in Attleborough.
Are you ready to play?

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh yeah, here we go. Wendy, you're in the hot seat.
We all give you a.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Factor a lie. You have to guess who is lying
play along in your car as well. It's Mikey V,
the younger brother. So if you don't know, I got
married this past November. I have a wedding ring now
and when I work out, I take it off, so
don't scratching to mess it all up. And well, I
have not seen my wedding ring since my Monday workout.
I have searched everywhere and I still cannot find my

(02:28):
very own wedding ring. They only got what five months ago,
the younger brother, Mikey Be. It's the older brother, Frankiebe.
So my buddy Timafidis went to high school and then
grew up in them. He sent me a photo the
other day and it reminded me that I played hockey
growing up as a kid.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
It was him and I.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
From way back in the day at Louren Arena playing hockey,
and I was supposed to be the next big thing
in hockey. Then I realized that you have to get
up extra early every single morning. So I said to
mom and dad, you know what, even I'm gonna be
good at hockey, I'm not getting up early. So mom
and dad said, perfect, save us some money. You don't
need to play hockey. And that's how my expective sport
and a.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Very cold sport. Yeah, very true.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Two tercent a lie on to Gianna, but he got, well,
was that the Celtics game last night?

Speaker 4 (03:04):
They won?

Speaker 5 (03:04):
Let's go to Celtic And it reminded me when I
was thirteen, I actually got to go shoot around on
the Celtics court at the Garden and I got a
picture with Brian Scalabrini at the time. And then last
night at the game, scal was sitting right behind me
at the broadcasters booth. So I actually showed him that
picture of us from twenty ten and he said, wow,
we were both definitely way younger then.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I don't know if that's creature or not, but here
was two trucent a lie. Who do you think is lying?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I fully believe Gianna, you know I think I'm na
have to go with Frankie V. I think you're lying.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
You think I'm lying.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
You don't think I would have been a hockey stud
had I, you know, kept with it, But I decided
to quit in the age of twelve because it was
too early.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's actually the truth.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, Mom and Dad said, you don't want to go
to Lauren Arena to play hockey anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
You're gonna save us a whole lot of money. Hey.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, we didn't get up early on a Saturday morning either,
So that's the end of my career.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
There you go, and that means the liar is.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Me.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Mikey.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, I've not lost my wedding rink, thank god.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, I was gonna say.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
And geha, wait, don't your sisters dance? That's the last games.
They danced last night.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
They danced for Funk Phenomenon.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
They did not dance last night, though, but I'm sure
they'll be dancing in a playoff and hopefully another championship game.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm only going for the Gravelisi daughters. Yeah, you know,
thank you so much for playing two truths and alive
I kiss away. You know, we're all pet lovers here
in studio. We talk about that all the time, Emma's
and Natick. Are you a pet lover?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Of course I am.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Today today's a special day for all of us. It's
National Adopted Shelter Pet Day. Oh wow, I actually did
a five K over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's right. J R's pause for a cause it's really cool.
But all about adopting dogs. It's so cool. Yeah, if
you're ready to take that step.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Many shelters are offering special discounts and promotions to encourage
adoption today. Keep in mind, they're not just you don't
just get a pet and you bring it home and
a chick good to go. You have to invest time
and loving all that. So you do have to give
back to these pets, and some need more than others.
But yeah, today's a data to go in there and
stop buy a shelter. There's a lot of cool stuff happening.
Of course, you'll find that a little companion and that
you've been looking for and make yourself feel good today.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
That is amazing. Oh my god, I really want a
golden doodle.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
That's doodle too, But I have cat fever right now
because I'm getting a cat next week.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Essentially, and I already want to five say say, if
you're debating adopting and you go to a shelter, be
prepared to leave with a dog. With the dogs.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It is time to play are you smarter than a
V bro? On Kissano eight?

Speaker 2 (05:26):

Speaker 5 (05:31):
We got Monica on the phone in and over. Monica,

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Mikey V is a younger brother. I'm gonna go with
the younger brother.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
The first person answer to questions right will be the winner.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
I made this food theme trivia today, so.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Here we go.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Let's see.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
First question goes to you, Monica. Monica, okay, YUCKI is
made from what, oh.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
My god, me yaki? It sounds Japanese eggs like or salmon.
It's like a salmon fish.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
Absolutely wrong, Mikey would you like to steal that?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I know you mean.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I'm not sure the exact definition of explanation here, but
basically potato wrapped in pasta.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
That it has potato.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
It is it is potato. It is made from potatoes.
They're little there you go, potato beds.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
How did you say it, Yaki, I said, yok yoki, yuki.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yoke of the.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Question wasn't how to pronounce it?

Speaker 4 (06:32):
We're all mad Italians over here, all right?

Speaker 5 (06:35):
At one point for you, mikey V and it is
back over to you, mikey, oh boy for the wind
right here.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
I get this right, mikey. What are tomalays wrapped in?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
What are tamales wrapped in? What a fun of friend?
I got the answer for you?

Speaker 4 (06:51):
I know what?

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Oh no, you know? Then you got hold on what
are tamali's?

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh my gosh, peppers?

Speaker 5 (07:00):
That would be incorrect, Monica, cornhu it would be corn husks.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Point for you, Monica, the game is tied, Monica. If
you get this next round, I hope you don't make
that same noise.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
Monica's back over you. If you get this right, you
will be the winner.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
A Greek spanakopita is filled with feta and what spinach?

Speaker 4 (07:25):
It would be spinach? Two points?

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Were you?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Monica?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
You were officially smarter than a v bro.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Congratulations? Wait?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
What's corn husks?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
What is a corn husk?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
The corn the outside of the corn questions.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Also, what was the next question about the Greek stuff?
Spanicpa thought inside that was rice and meat.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
No, that's an orange.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Next week, I was off to a heart start. But nevertheless, Monica,
you are the winner. You're smart. Oh my god, Laura
is in Lynn? Why Linn?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'm on a roll with the scratch on lottery tickets.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
That's a slippery slow. But do you just win to
big money? Yeah? What are you winning?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I mean I won twenty five bucks.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
I quit why you're ahead because it's very twenty five
bucks and lose it?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh yeah, really, I know. It's really making my day,
but it's.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Also very easy to take that twenty five dollars and
turn into a whole lot of coin as well.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
See franky beer like the devil on the Angel on
your shoulder sounds next.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah, I don't normally, I'm not normally a scratcher, but
I did it for the first time today and I
won five I'm going to string to.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
A losing one.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Over in Avon Teresa, you brought out at your job.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
I am so burnt out, so.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
You know, And it's normal.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Though gen Z and millennials are saying that they're leaving
companies right now because they're unhappy, and they're actually listing
the top things that make them unhappy about their job.
Number three in the list is the after hours communications.
Forty three percent of people say the second they clock out,
don't bother them till they clock back in.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah, don't text me at nine o'clock at night. I'm done.
I've been done. Yeah, don't text me.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Mikey trank me and I text like all hours of
the night, not like in a weird way, like we
just can't stop me.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I got so nervous about that for a second.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
I didn't mean in a weird way, but it just
like non stop talking.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Do I know I'm never texting you on again now?
Then HR is gonna call me. Let's just move on.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Things that gen zers and mourners are saying are causing
them to leave their job. Number two on this is
they want more of a flexible work arrangement. They're sick
of being told be at work nine to five, be
at your desk at this time, be at this meeting
of this time.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
They want to be able to, you know, kind of
casually go through their day the way they want to
go through their day.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Well, like I will get my work done. You don't
have to police me, and I don't have to be
there from nine to six and make sure that I'm
working the entire time. I will get it done.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
You don't get me billion.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
The number one thing causing burn out. The reason why
people want to leave the job is money. They want
more money. They don't care what they're getting paid is
not enough. They say, you know what, still give me
a raise. This is the recipe for disaster. I want
to work last and be more flexible.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
To make more money. I'll say that Joe too. I'm
telling you right now, the math is not mathing.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
April's in Arlington. Are you ready for today's idiots of
the day?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Sure so?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
This Uber driver check this out in Ohio.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Was arrested after a rider called nine one one and
said that the uber driver boasted about having drugs stashed.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
And a fake aerosol can in the car. So he's
in the Uber drive.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
They're driving around Hey, by the way, buddy in that
can back there, I got drugs hidden.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
This dude that's in the car decides to call the cops.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Of course, the cops tracked the uber driver down and
sure enough, they found you can, which was filled with
twenty four grams of meth als, the pills, a meth pipe,
a digital scale, packing baggs, cash, and three cell phones.
Oh my god, how do you explain that in court?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Yeah? How did you get out? Well? I told somebody
in my car.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
The driver was ide'd as Robert Rose was also wearing
a red shirt that said retired drug dealer. So I
guess he had come out of our retirement and became
an uber driver for that one day, and sure enough
you got casts.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
This reminds me of the crazy Story of the Day
a while ago when the girl got caught with drugs
in a bag that said definitely not drugs.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
My thoughts on letter, I think people want to tell
on themselves, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
They're just like it's a thrill.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's like being a cheater in a relationship and then
bragging about it.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Melissa, you're an acting Have ever seen like the signs
on a bacherette party where they say Venmo the bride?

Speaker 1 (11:25):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (11:26):
I have seen that lately a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Are talking about. It's actually going viral right now.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Yeah, And I'm guilty of this we did this for
my friend on her bachelorette party. But this girl's going
viral because she was posting kind of bragging saying, look
at this beautiful sign we made for my friend on
her bachelorette party, saying buy the bride a drink.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
The video went viral.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Everyone commented saying, uh, I would rather not buy they
buy the bride a drink. The bride should be buying you,
guys drinks. You are the one spending so much money
on her bachelorette party and being her wedding. Why are
we paying the bride when she's clearing everyone's essentially, what
are your.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Thoughts on that?

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Well?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Also, what if she gets too drunk? I mean everyone's
paying her a drink.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well, if she gets too drunk, then somebody she makes
another password to her cell phones, they get to their
ve somebody that's just got married, weddings or expensive And
I get that, you know, I get that you want
to make sure your bride'smaids are all good, But why
not give back to her a little bit.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
It's her special day.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
She gets one batsorette part unless she screws up against
the divorce and does the second one.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
But for the most part, this is her time to shine.
Why not give it to her?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
I say, give it to her, but maybe not for
a drink, maybe just for the wedding.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Oh, in that case, you're probably Venmo the bride's father.
Whoever's paying for the wedding these days? Well, we h
we wi all to talk about this because it is
all over social media right now. When you see those
signs to say Venmo the bride for a drink or
for whatever, do you feel like you want to do
that or does it piss you off? Like people are

(12:51):
getting mad at her? Curious your thoughts. Liz is in
Milford as a.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Gift giver and a gift receiver. I do prefer to
just do the easy option, and that is easy, like
I will venmo you, But I don't love the I've
seen it like on Instagram where people are like, it's
my birthday, buy me a coffee, here's that memo, and
I'm like, I'm like, I would have sent you a card.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Wait, now that I think about it, it could actually
help the girls in the bachelortt party because random guys
that are out at whatever club they're at, we'll probably
venmo and buy you guys drinks.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
We did this with one of my best friends.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
We did the venmo the bride for a drink and
it definitely helped us because the guys loved sending over
the money and it helped us in the long run
so we could.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Pass them along passive wealth off to everybody else.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Basically pulled the money and split it all. But I
don't think all the money you should go to the bride.
That's a little crazy. I think should go for the
drinks that night.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, the fun or whatever you do, Yeah, you got
to do it or something.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah, do it be spent on the Bachelor that part? Yes,
there you go, boom Melanie or Newton.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I've been a bachelorette and I agree, what are you
talking about?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Why?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Why do I have to you?

Speaker 3 (13:56):
But also I kind of think I want to fake
the of a bride that needs a venmo and know
out with.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
My girls, Like, if you're not getting mad, you's have
a girl's night here.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Doesn't you pick one and the bride and you all
pull the money?

Speaker 2 (14:13):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
What a scheme. Tony's in Ashland. Do you drink coffee?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I drink coffee maybe twice a week, twice.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
A week So the next time you're tired and you
want to try to kick the caffeine.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Have it.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Experts say, all you need to do, check this out
that's actually done by scientists is go up and down
the stairs for ten minutes. If you go up and
downstairs at a moderate pace for ten minutes, you're going
to restore energy within your body, which is as powerful
as sipping on a cup of coffee.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Well, I'm not a big stairs guy, and then sip
this coffee.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
I can't even do the StairMaster of the gym. You
want me to go up and down?

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeh?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Could you imagine every time I make a break to
get a coffee and it's two stairs real quick. It
says that verse of exercise wakes up the brain to
Bouchier alert in this so there you go instead of
the coffee, just up the stairs, Mike getting down the stairs.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I think I'll have to do this to do this shair.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, a little bit of both. Caitlin is in Wellesley.
Why you happy? Why you smile?

Speaker 3 (15:06):
I get to be home today. I have to have
the day off and I get to just like bake things.
I'm gonna make some bread. Wow, I am happy?

Speaker 4 (15:14):
What kind of bread are you making? Because I know
like sourdough requires a lot of love and care.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I'm making a
sourdough for Kasha.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Oh I want that. My two favorite breads in one,
sour dough out your boss. You need two days off,
possibly three, you know what, go back to work on Monday.
I was living vicariously through Gianna's instagram last night the
Selic game. It's Mikey V, Frankie V and Gianna. You
were courtside, yes, I was. What was the feeling in

(15:43):
the garden last night when they won the series?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
It was crazy.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Obviously we're on to round two now and at first
like it looked like the magic was up, like it
looks like we were going to lose the game. But
the fans did not disappoint because we're not fair weather fans.
The vibes were high and they ended up like thirty points,
which was so crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Speaking up fans, the biggest fan was sitting next to
our very own mighty mckabe.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well it's his reaction at that way.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Wait, guys, he doesn't want me to talk about this.
It was his first NBA game ever. Oh wow, he
had never been to a basketball game, and I brought
him court side graciously, thank you Eddie G for the tickets.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Legend.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Yes, so we got to sit and he was just
so excited.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
He was in awe of Like I mean, the vibes
anywhere you are in the garden, no matter for court side,
wherever you're sitting, they're just always so good when it
comes to playoffs, like you can't beat the energy.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
And there's no there's no town, there's no city in
the country has better sports fans in Boston too.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
So that truly it's awesome on and around too.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Hopefully Gihanna keeps going to the games and keep bringing
us good luck.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yes, yes, oh we are out of your back at
it again tomorrow on every afternoon. We really do appreciate
you having us on every afternoon and pushing through life
with us. Two to seven Mikey V, Frankie V and
Gianna on Kiss went away.
