looked at everything. It looked fine. It was one room with two beds,
and said, man, my dadand I can do that. We
could share it. Well, weget there. We walked down. First
off, my dad has a cane. He had to walk down three flights
of very crooked stairs to a basement. Yeah. No elevator. So it's
(04:03):
a house. Yeah, so there'sno elevator. No. And it was
like the worst hostel you know thatyou would stay in our hostel on how
you say him hostel? Yeah,like a jail to me personally, the
the lock didn't work, and somy son says to me, that's it.
You guys are staying at my place. Well, my son lives in
a three bedroom which he has onetiny bedroom. It shares with two other
(04:24):
people. We couchsurfed there, andthen his girlfriend's house with their roommates.
We couch surfer. Hold on asecond, you and your eighty nine year
old dad staying at your son's placewhere he has roommates as well and even

son's place, He got the couchand I got the bunk bed. Hold
on a second. Your son didn'tgive up his bed for his eighty nine
(04:47):
year old grandpa. My son verywillingly did, as did I. The
problem is he only has the kindthat is the desk underneath. My dad
can't climb stairs to get up ona bed with like a bunk bed.
Kind of yeah, it's like rails, like a kind of like a fire
escape rail. So like the railswere coming off on this trip. Unbelievable.
It was crazy. And luckily mydaughter says, are you getting your

there's at least a half the endingto the story. Wow. So
yeah, this has inspired us onthe show this morning, Airbnb disasters.
Did you ever rent something? Showup to it and it was nothing like
you were expecting? Nothing like itlooked like maybe online? Yeah, especially
(05:36):
when they have these great reviews,which I can't believe any of them.
We got to hear from you eightsixty six, two four, five,
fifty nine, fifty eight or asalways, you could use that free talk
back feature that's on the iHeart radioapp, and there's a call now button.
Don't forget that. That's the easiestbecause you don't have to remember anything.
You just go to Billy and Judyon Facebook and hit that call now
button. Billy, by the way, with a y and Judy with an
(05:58):
I Now. I live in Edwardsville. I've not seen a cicada until my
son Jack was playing at a basketballtournament this weekend, and so we went
over to the Missouri side Oh mygosh, I think we were at Parkway
North walking into the school, allover the ground, all over the trees.
I wonder if like they don't wantto cross the river. Well,
(06:20):
I know, I kind of can'tblame just kidding, Billy. We came
home from Boston where there's a notein Boston and to the sound, and
the sound is beautiful to my ears. But looking at him and they're huge
this time, so a, Ithink the sound is so frustrating it drives
me crazy. And b I wasscrolling through a Saint Louis Post dispatch this
(06:42):
morning. They had an article aboutthe Missouri Botanical Garden. The chef over
there calls these cicadas crunchy sky raisinsand apparently he's making a cicada scampy at
Missouri Botanical Gardens. Okay, well, I don't think that's included in my
vegetarian diet. Well, it isvery high in protein, I would imagine.
(07:03):
And so I was saying to Judy, I wonder if anybody listening has
eaten of these here cicadas yet,and if so, what do they taste
like? We're curious, And thenI said to Billy, I go,
well, if it's fried or ifit's got chocolate on it, we didn't
taste good regardless. Well, wetalked about this before, like my grandma.
You know, old people back inthe day, they used to eat
(07:24):
like all kinds of crazy stuff dippedin chocolate. I remember my grandma talking
about grasshoppers and ants in particular,because again, they were so high in
protein. Yeah. Well, I'mnot going to try them, but we
would like to talk to anybody whohas or how they're dealing with the cicadas,
because personally, I don't know whatto do with them. Yeah,
have you eaten a cicada yet?If so, I want to talk to
(07:44):
you this morning. Eight sixty sixtwo four five fifty nine fifty eight.
Fantastic news by the way, froma very local airline. If you're planning

I have milk Bay dresses are thesummer piece the spillin of the tea,
both coming up next. Jus youneed for this Tuesday, May twenty first,
the prosecution at Donald Trump's hush moneycriminal trial rested its case yesterday.
(08:07):
The New York Attorney General's office hasaccused Trump of falsifying records in the Stormy
Daniels affair, in which he allegedlypaid Davis more than one hundred thousand dollars
not to disclose the escapade. Closingarguments, by the way, will likely
begin on May the twenty eighth,after the holiday weekend. Speaking of the
holiday, just in time for yourholiday weekend travel, Spirit Airlines is doing
(08:30):
away with both change and cancelation fees, effective immediately. This is days after
Frontier Airlines made a similar announcement partof an overhaul they say of the country's
biggest discount carriers, longtime strategy.That's fantastic news. Speaking of fantastic news,
the Cardinals powered past the Orioles sixtythree your final yesterday. That is
the news you need. Now wespill the tea with Judd. This time
(08:52):
it's fashion tea. And this isthanks to the milk Bay dress. Social
media searches for sundress have got Irocketed thanks to TikTok. We're talking over
a thousand percent in the last fewmonths because of TikTokers loving the milkmaid dresses.
Apparently the summer piece. Elite expertssaying dress up sundresses pair with chunky
(09:13):
heels, statement jewelry, dress updown, prepair sneakers, ballet pumps are
perfect. I will say you know, I was in Dallas last week for
the Academy of Country Music Awards,and I saw Sundress after Sundress, and
I saw, well, maybe it'sjust warmer there, but completed up our
game here in the Midwest. That'sall I have right now, so it's
good that it's staying hot. He'sJudy Diamond. He's back from Boston,
(09:35):
where she had an awful experience withinAirbnb. To the point, Judy,
where you left it. We hadto leave at my dad, who's eighty
nine years old, and it waslike this Sue was a one room.
It looked like a jail cell tome, two beds in a basement.
We ended up couch surfing at mysudleos have placed board a bunch of roommates
and his girlfriend's place with a bunchof roommates. We had fun. It
(09:56):
was like slumber parties and you're turnedlike college Ade's kid. You guys are
roumin with Yeah, they were sosweet to my dad. They're good kids,
so funny. I don't have anactual disaster with an airbnb. But
I did have a story. Wewent to Aruba one time and we rented
an airbnb. It was a housein Aruba with two other couples. Well,
(10:16):
one of the couples was from Texas. They had just had a baby,
and we were like, oh,that's unfortunately, you're not gonna be
able to make it. And theysaid, no, no, we're coming.
We're just gonna bring our baby withus. They left their other kids
at home, but they brought thisnewborn baby where Judy Diamond. They went
online and found someone to watch thebaby so they could go out. Could
you imagine. I couldn't even fathomleaving a newborn baby in a different country
(10:41):
with someone I found online to watchthem while we went out and partied.
I could not imagine leaving my otherkids no judging here, but still taking
the newborn. Now, he explainedthat to your kids would worry about that.
I would just worry about someone stealingthe newborn and selling the baby all
that. I'm like the marketers openmarket. I don't know. Anyway,
it was the strangest that you Itmade us very uncomfortable, my wife Melissa
and me. Yeah, and thereare some uncomfortable airbubs as well. That
(11:07):
that would have been weird. Yeah, what was your story? I saw
this one place at a ball pitjust for some reason, and I just
wanted to just just look like itwas just something that I just wanted to
jump in and escape. But it'sdefice to say I should have definitely checked
the other pictures of the place.Yeah, yeah, don't rent a place
just because it has a fun lookingball pit. Yes, exactly like the
place we had had a great lookingkitchen. Three stories at ball were in
(11:31):
the basement dungeon. That's horrible.Hey, my mom would have loved it.
Again, if you want to sharewith us your Airbnb disasters as we
get ready for this nice long holidayweekend, maybe you have an Airbnb you're
getting ready to head off to youin just a couple of days. We'd
love to hear from you. Yeah, a, do not trust the pictures.
N B call us eight sixty sixtwo four nine fifty eight as always
(11:52):
going to need that number for achance at MJ tickets to the fabulous Fox
Theater. Your google Buster question iscoming up at about seven forty fifteen percent
of bosses admit they have done thisto an employee. What is it?
Fifty bosses admit that they lied tothem. That's interesting. A lot of
(12:15):
people are guessing that on our Facebookpage. Numbers probably higher than fifteen percent.
It's probably, by the way,those states were wrong that I had
on MJ. The musical starts onthe twenty ninth, So there you go.
Hey, we're going to be theiropening night one more time. Fifteen
percent of bosses admit they have donethis to an employee. What is this?
(12:37):
Fifteen percent of bosses, Judy,admit they've done this to an employee.
What do you think it is?That they got them in trouble because
they brought their dog to work.Ah. Remember somebody did that and then
the dog left a gift at thefact. That's what I was thinking.
Yeah, that is never a goodthing. That is also incorrect, amundo,
(12:58):
Judy Diamond news is we have Tashaon the phone. Tasha, any
idea what this is? Well,my husband had this happened to him,
so we're gonna try it. Dothey eat their lunch? It your husband
had the boss who ain't their lunch? Yes? My god, wow,
horrible. No, that is incorrect. Modo this I think this is actually
(13:22):
a really good thing that a bosswould do. That's probably why it's such
a small number fifteen percent. Itwould make me feel very good about my
boss if they were to do thisfor me, if I worked for them,
did you praise? No, there'sno way anyone is ever going to
get this. Give us a betterclue. Let you call in sick.
(13:50):
What if I called in sick,then what would happen? What about if
you were sick unless you work?Uh? Maybe I didn't make it to
work and they were concerned about me, Oh, check on you. That
is absolutely correct to Mondo guys.A mere fifteen percent of bosses have checked
(14:13):
up in person on a sick employeeto make sure that they were okay in
person? Isn't that something? Yeah, or a little nosy. Maybe they
were just trying to make sure thatthey weren't faking it, That's what I
was thinking. Yeah, Hey,Tasha, you just busted on Google.
Dad and I off of a Bostontrip. A boy, what a nightmare
Airbnb Airbnb disasters. Judy had sucha horrible situation in Boston. You left
(14:39):
your Airbnb and stayed at basically yourkid's college dorm room. Kind of it
was like they're apartments, but heshares them with two other roommates. So
it was pretty crazy. I wasso proud of my dad, who had
eighty nine years old. He lookedat me and he goes, it's an
experience, Dad, I love thatyou're chill. What was the problem again
with the airbnb? Was it justnasty? It was? Well, first
(15:03):
off, my dad had to godown three flights to stare, and the
guy told my son on the phone, oh no, it's only one flight.
Looked nothing like the picture. Itlooked like. We got there,
two beds in one room that lookedlike the inside of a jail cell,
a separate bathroom you had to sharewith the other people staying there, and
the door lock didn't even work.It was horrible. That's creepy. Yeah,
(15:24):
so you know, Airbnb disasters werebasically, you know, just like
bad vacations. Yeah, if youwant to share with it's eight sixty six
two four five fifty nine fifty eight. Or used the talk back feature on
the free iHeartRadio app. That's wherewe got this message. I booked a
motel by the beach just to getaway. I mean, I knew it
was going to be crappy, butthe toilet didn't work in a flood at
the first time, so we wereto wear we'd wear flip flops in the
(15:46):
bathroom. It was a disasters.We stayed at a I want to say
it was like a red roof forsomething like that in Florida. One time,
my oldest son, Grant was likemaybe one. We set him down
and he took off running around theroom in his socks and the socks were
completely black. Oh that's so gross. I mean, we listen. We
(16:07):
would have paid more for a hotel, but because of all the graduations in
Boston, you couldn't get a roomunless you want to pay two thousand a
night. Oh doggie, all right. So again, as you get ready
for this Memorial Day weekend, maybeyou're planning to head off to an airbnb
or otherwise share with us your disasterswere nosy this morning? And he's home
of the Google Buster. And thenthere's Judy's Bonus Buster where you in Nada
(16:30):
And I think I've done this one. So we'll find out. Eight percent
of people say it's always acceptable totake this from a restaurant. What is
this? Eight percent people say itis okay to take wouldn't be a classes
sort of this can be silverware,but you'd take from the menu. It's
(16:53):
the menu, no dracts. Ithought that made sense because if you wanted
to order, you know, downthe road, you know a lot of
times if they have just like alaminated menu, I thought maybe that'd be
okay. Yeah, I would thinkit would be. Now, my mom
makes you recipes, used to justalways put salt and pepper shakers at her
purse. It's not that either.Yeah, my brother's second wife, she
(17:17):
was a klepto. She would takelike she liked to take a different glass
from every restaurant we went here.Does that mean she'd like clean it out,
put it in her purse or something. They're divorced. Now it's okay.
So the question again is eight percentof people say it's always acceptable to
take this from a restaurant. Nobodyeven closed to answering Judy's bonus buster question
(17:38):
today. I think once I giveyou the clue, you'll get it.
Eight percent of people say it's alwaysacceptable to take this from a restaurant.
And your first answer was, well, I said a menu, but like
back in the old days, especiallyif it's like a paper menu, because
you know that way you could takestuff home and order it from home if
you wanted to. But that's obviouslynot correct in these days. That's all
(18:00):
online anyway. It's true. Ilove those, but I would say that
it really does help the person who'staking your order to remember it. It's
okay to take the pin. Yes, that's awful. Why would you do
that? Well? I think peopledon't realize it. I mean, but
(18:22):
yeah, the one that you usethe sun I do it all the time
by accident. I'm a pen steeler. What's funny is when you were gone
this past week, my google Busterquestion was about people taking pins from work
people or pen stealers. They don'tmean to do it. Time for a
little food for thought, Judy Diamond. This involves the cheese. Do you
like the cheese? Oh? Idon't think I could live without cheese.
(18:47):
So would you say that you're addictedto the cheese? Probably? Yes,
all cheese. There is a womanout of New York who just checked herself
into rehab because she is powerless overher addiction to the cheese. Okay,
I don't think I need rehab.Been scarfing down huge amounts of cheese,
(19:08):
apparently since twenty eighteen, when shewas still a student in school. She
said that she would stop buy wholefoods, just buy cheese, and she
would literally eat blocks of cheese withjust her hands. Ooh, that is
quite a lot. Yes, soit was the only thing that would make
her feel somewhat whole, which iscurrently why she would do whole foods.
(19:32):
Sorry, see that. She alsosaid that she gained about forty to fifty
pounds because of all the cheese shewould eat. She said that she would
eat five or six large blocks ofcheese every single week, a couple of
times a week. Like that's ridiculous, by the way, that, Yeah,
doesn't make a difficult to hold pottyhuld keep you all kinds backed up,
(19:53):
I would think. Not surprisingly,she was able to find, especially
being in New York, a rehabcenter for those who were addicted to cheese.
What at a cost of six thousanddollars per week, that is a
lot of cheese. Yes, Butwe do have an update and apparently she's
doing gouda now. Oh that's socheesy. Yeah, that's your food for
(20:17):
thought with us, Billy and youinspired by our very own Judy Diamond,
who just got back from Boston,your son Leo's graduation. You took your
eighty nine year old dad, Yougot an airbnd. It was not what
you were expecting. It was horribleand it was almost like one of those
hostels, but as if it wasin a jail. It was horrible.
And the funny thing is Leo,my son, was able to get a
(20:40):
refund. And they said, well, we want pictures, and I said,
tell them that it was so disgustingand I have time to stop and
take pictures. And if it's thatbad, there's no way. You're the
only one who's ever complained about thisplace. They have to have had this
happen before, which is why weended up with a refund. There you
go, and you got to sleepon your son's couch instead. Yes,
all right, it's all good.Yeah, your Airbnb vacation disasters, what
(21:04):
do you have for us? Ibooked a nineteen fifty camper in the woods
in Vermont one summer. There werea lot of bugs. I don't know,
it wasn't great. It's not reallyan Airbnb, but that is a
disaster. I suppose, no,no, no, you could book those
on Airbnb. Because I've looked atthose before. My son booked like a
cabinty tent thing one time. Isthat right? I thought it was just
(21:25):
like people own like homes that theyrented out. I didn't know that.
Oh yeah, it's all kinds ofthings. And now he's going to live
in or going with his girlfriend somewherefor a wedding in Portland, Maine.
And he said they're staying in oneof those urdos. I can't think of
the name of it. They're likea bed one tent. Well exactly know
what that means either, But thatsounds like that's a disaster in the making.
(21:48):
I agree. You want to shareyour airbnb slash vacation disasters with us
as we get closer to heading offon vacation this weekend on memorially to hear
your stories. Yeah, just goover to Billy and Judy facebook page.

on a second. Your son didn'tgive up his bed for his eighty nine
(04:47):
year old grandpa. My son verywillingly did, as did I. The
problem is he only has the kindthat is the desk underneath. My dad
can't climb stairs to get up ona bed with like a bunk bed.
Kind of yeah, it's like rails, like a kind of like a fire
escape rail. So like the railswere coming off on this trip. Unbelievable.
It was crazy. And luckily mydaughter says, are you getting your
(05:12):
money back. I go, Idon't know what Leo goes. We can't
get it back. I go,We'll write an email. He did,
an AI chat, GBT email anda goddess our star buddy back. Hey,
there's at least a half the endingto the story. Wow. So
yeah, this has inspired us onthe show this morning, Airbnb disasters.
Did you ever rent something? Showup to it and it was nothing like
you were expecting? Nothing like itlooked like maybe online? Yeah, especially
(05:36):
when they have these great reviews,which I can't believe any of them.
We got to hear from you eightsixty six, two four, five,
fifty nine, fifty eight or asalways, you could use that free talk
back feature that's on the iHeart radioapp, and there's a call now button.
Don't forget that. That's the easiestbecause you don't have to remember anything.
You just go to Billy and Judyon Facebook and hit that call now
button. Billy, by the way, with a y and Judy with an
(05:58):
I Now. I live in Edwardsville. I've not seen a cicada until my
son Jack was playing at a basketballtournament this weekend, and so we went
over to the Missouri side Oh mygosh, I think we were at Parkway
North walking into the school, allover the ground, all over the trees.
I wonder if like they don't wantto cross the river. Well,
(06:20):
I know, I kind of can'tblame just kidding, Billy. We came
home from Boston where there's a notein Boston and to the sound, and
the sound is beautiful to my ears. But looking at him and they're huge
this time, so a, Ithink the sound is so frustrating it drives
me crazy. And b I wasscrolling through a Saint Louis Post dispatch this
(06:42):
morning. They had an article aboutthe Missouri Botanical Garden. The chef over
there calls these cicadas crunchy sky raisinsand apparently he's making a cicada scampy at
Missouri Botanical Gardens. Okay, well, I don't think that's included in my
vegetarian diet. Well, it isvery high in protein, I would imagine.
(07:03):
And so I was saying to Judy, I wonder if anybody listening has
eaten of these here cicadas yet,and if so, what do they taste
like? We're curious, And thenI said to Billy, I go,
well, if it's fried or ifit's got chocolate on it, we didn't
taste good regardless. Well, wetalked about this before, like my grandma.
You know, old people back inthe day, they used to eat
(07:24):
like all kinds of crazy stuff dippedin chocolate. I remember my grandma talking
about grasshoppers and ants in particular,because again, they were so high in
protein. Yeah. Well, I'mnot going to try them, but we
would like to talk to anybody whohas or how they're dealing with the cicadas,
because personally, I don't know whatto do with them. Yeah,
have you eaten a cicada yet?If so, I want to talk to
(07:44):
you this morning. Eight sixty sixtwo four five fifty nine fifty eight.
Fantastic news by the way, froma very local airline. If you're planning
to travel over the holiday weekends,I've got the news you need, and
I have milk Bay dresses are thesummer piece the spillin of the tea,
both coming up next. Jus youneed for this Tuesday, May twenty first,
the prosecution at Donald Trump's hush moneycriminal trial rested its case yesterday.
(08:07):
The New York Attorney General's office hasaccused Trump of falsifying records in the Stormy
Daniels affair, in which he allegedlypaid Davis more than one hundred thousand dollars
not to disclose the escapade. Closingarguments, by the way, will likely
begin on May the twenty eighth,after the holiday weekend. Speaking of the
holiday, just in time for yourholiday weekend travel, Spirit Airlines is doing
(08:30):
away with both change and cancelation fees, effective immediately. This is days after
Frontier Airlines made a similar announcement partof an overhaul they say of the country's
biggest discount carriers, longtime strategy.That's fantastic news. Speaking of fantastic news,
the Cardinals powered past the Orioles sixtythree your final yesterday. That is
the news you need. Now wespill the tea with Judd. This time
(08:52):
it's fashion tea. And this isthanks to the milk Bay dress. Social
media searches for sundress have got Irocketed thanks to TikTok. We're talking over
a thousand percent in the last fewmonths because of TikTokers loving the milkmaid dresses.
Apparently the summer piece. Elite expertssaying dress up sundresses pair with chunky
(09:13):
heels, statement jewelry, dress updown, prepair sneakers, ballet pumps are
perfect. I will say you know, I was in Dallas last week for
the Academy of Country Music Awards,and I saw Sundress after Sundress, and
I saw, well, maybe it'sjust warmer there, but completed up our
game here in the Midwest. That'sall I have right now, so it's
good that it's staying hot. He'sJudy Diamond. He's back from Boston,
(09:35):
where she had an awful experience withinAirbnb. To the point, Judy,
where you left it. We hadto leave at my dad, who's eighty
nine years old, and it waslike this Sue was a one room.
It looked like a jail cell tome, two beds in a basement.
We ended up couch surfing at mysudleos have placed board a bunch of roommates
and his girlfriend's place with a bunchof roommates. We had fun. It
(09:56):
was like slumber parties and you're turnedlike college Ade's kid. You guys are
roumin with Yeah, they were sosweet to my dad. They're good kids,
so funny. I don't have anactual disaster with an airbnb. But
I did have a story. Wewent to Aruba one time and we rented
an airbnb. It was a housein Aruba with two other couples. Well,
(10:16):
one of the couples was from Texas. They had just had a baby,
and we were like, oh,that's unfortunately, you're not gonna be
able to make it. And theysaid, no, no, we're coming.
We're just gonna bring our baby withus. They left their other kids
at home, but they brought thisnewborn baby where Judy Diamond. They went
online and found someone to watch thebaby so they could go out. Could
you imagine. I couldn't even fathomleaving a newborn baby in a different country
(10:41):
with someone I found online to watchthem while we went out and partied.
I could not imagine leaving my otherkids no judging here, but still taking
the newborn. Now, he explainedthat to your kids would worry about that.
I would just worry about someone stealingthe newborn and selling the baby all
that. I'm like the marketers openmarket. I don't know. Anyway,
it was the strangest that you Itmade us very uncomfortable, my wife Melissa
and me. Yeah, and thereare some uncomfortable airbubs as well. That
(11:07):
that would have been weird. Yeah, what was your story? I saw
this one place at a ball pitjust for some reason, and I just
wanted to just just look like itwas just something that I just wanted to
jump in and escape. But it'sdefice to say I should have definitely checked
the other pictures of the place.Yeah, yeah, don't rent a place
just because it has a fun lookingball pit. Yes, exactly like the
place we had had a great lookingkitchen. Three stories at ball were in
(11:31):
the basement dungeon. That's horrible.Hey, my mom would have loved it.
Again, if you want to sharewith us your Airbnb disasters as we
get ready for this nice long holidayweekend, maybe you have an Airbnb you're
getting ready to head off to youin just a couple of days. We'd
love to hear from you. Yeah, a, do not trust the pictures.
N B call us eight sixty sixtwo four nine fifty eight as always
(11:52):
going to need that number for achance at MJ tickets to the fabulous Fox
Theater. Your google Buster question iscoming up at about seven forty fifteen percent
of bosses admit they have done thisto an employee. What is it?
Fifty bosses admit that they lied tothem. That's interesting. A lot of
(12:15):
people are guessing that on our Facebookpage. Numbers probably higher than fifteen percent.
It's probably, by the way,those states were wrong that I had
on MJ. The musical starts onthe twenty ninth, So there you go.
Hey, we're going to be theiropening night one more time. Fifteen
percent of bosses admit they have donethis to an employee. What is this?
(12:37):
Fifteen percent of bosses, Judy,admit they've done this to an employee.
What do you think it is?That they got them in trouble because
they brought their dog to work.Ah. Remember somebody did that and then
the dog left a gift at thefact. That's what I was thinking.
Yeah, that is never a goodthing. That is also incorrect, amundo,
(12:58):
Judy Diamond news is we have Tashaon the phone. Tasha, any
idea what this is? Well,my husband had this happened to him,
so we're gonna try it. Dothey eat their lunch? It your husband
had the boss who ain't their lunch? Yes? My god, wow,
horrible. No, that is incorrect. Modo this I think this is actually
(13:22):
a really good thing that a bosswould do. That's probably why it's such
a small number fifteen percent. Itwould make me feel very good about my
boss if they were to do thisfor me, if I worked for them,
did you praise? No, there'sno way anyone is ever going to
get this. Give us a betterclue. Let you call in sick.
(13:50):
What if I called in sick,then what would happen? What about if
you were sick unless you work?Uh? Maybe I didn't make it to
work and they were concerned about me, Oh, check on you. That
is absolutely correct to Mondo guys.A mere fifteen percent of bosses have checked
(14:13):
up in person on a sick employeeto make sure that they were okay in
person? Isn't that something? Yeah, or a little nosy. Maybe they
were just trying to make sure thatthey weren't faking it, That's what I
was thinking. Yeah, Hey,Tasha, you just busted on Google.
Dad and I off of a Bostontrip. A boy, what a nightmare
Airbnb Airbnb disasters. Judy had sucha horrible situation in Boston. You left
(14:39):
your Airbnb and stayed at basically yourkid's college dorm room. Kind of it
was like they're apartments, but heshares them with two other roommates. So
it was pretty crazy. I wasso proud of my dad, who had
eighty nine years old. He lookedat me and he goes, it's an
experience, Dad, I love thatyou're chill. What was the problem again
with the airbnb? Was it justnasty? It was? Well, first
(15:03):
off, my dad had to godown three flights to stare, and the
guy told my son on the phone, oh no, it's only one flight.
Looked nothing like the picture. Itlooked like. We got there,
two beds in one room that lookedlike the inside of a jail cell,
a separate bathroom you had to sharewith the other people staying there, and
the door lock didn't even work.It was horrible. That's creepy. Yeah,
(15:24):
so you know, Airbnb disasters werebasically, you know, just like
bad vacations. Yeah, if youwant to share with it's eight sixty six
two four five fifty nine fifty eight. Or used the talk back feature on
the free iHeartRadio app. That's wherewe got this message. I booked a
motel by the beach just to getaway. I mean, I knew it
was going to be crappy, butthe toilet didn't work in a flood at
the first time, so we wereto wear we'd wear flip flops in the
(15:46):
bathroom. It was a disasters.We stayed at a I want to say
it was like a red roof forsomething like that in Florida. One time,
my oldest son, Grant was likemaybe one. We set him down
and he took off running around theroom in his socks and the socks were
completely black. Oh that's so gross. I mean, we listen. We
(16:07):
would have paid more for a hotel, but because of all the graduations in
Boston, you couldn't get a roomunless you want to pay two thousand a
night. Oh doggie, all right. So again, as you get ready
for this Memorial Day weekend, maybeyou're planning to head off to an airbnb
or otherwise share with us your disasterswere nosy this morning? And he's home
of the Google Buster. And thenthere's Judy's Bonus Buster where you in Nada
(16:30):
And I think I've done this one. So we'll find out. Eight percent
of people say it's always acceptable totake this from a restaurant. What is
this? Eight percent people say itis okay to take wouldn't be a classes
sort of this can be silverware,but you'd take from the menu. It's
(16:53):
the menu, no dracts. Ithought that made sense because if you wanted
to order, you know, downthe road, you know a lot of
times if they have just like alaminated menu, I thought maybe that'd be
okay. Yeah, I would thinkit would be. Now, my mom
makes you recipes, used to justalways put salt and pepper shakers at her
purse. It's not that either.Yeah, my brother's second wife, she
(17:17):
was a klepto. She would takelike she liked to take a different glass
from every restaurant we went here.Does that mean she'd like clean it out,
put it in her purse or something. They're divorced. Now it's okay.
So the question again is eight percentof people say it's always acceptable to
take this from a restaurant. Nobodyeven closed to answering Judy's bonus buster question
(17:38):
today. I think once I giveyou the clue, you'll get it.
Eight percent of people say it's alwaysacceptable to take this from a restaurant.
And your first answer was, well, I said a menu, but like
back in the old days, especiallyif it's like a paper menu, because
you know that way you could takestuff home and order it from home if
you wanted to. But that's obviouslynot correct in these days. That's all
(18:00):
online anyway. It's true. Ilove those, but I would say that
it really does help the person who'staking your order to remember it. It's
okay to take the pin. Yes, that's awful. Why would you do
that? Well? I think peopledon't realize it. I mean, but
(18:22):
yeah, the one that you usethe sun I do it all the time
by accident. I'm a pen steeler. What's funny is when you were gone
this past week, my google Busterquestion was about people taking pins from work
people or pen stealers. They don'tmean to do it. Time for a
little food for thought, Judy Diamond. This involves the cheese. Do you
like the cheese? Oh? Idon't think I could live without cheese.
(18:47):
So would you say that you're addictedto the cheese? Probably? Yes,
all cheese. There is a womanout of New York who just checked herself
into rehab because she is powerless overher addiction to the cheese. Okay,
I don't think I need rehab.Been scarfing down huge amounts of cheese,
(19:08):
apparently since twenty eighteen, when shewas still a student in school. She
said that she would stop buy wholefoods, just buy cheese, and she
would literally eat blocks of cheese withjust her hands. Ooh, that is
quite a lot. Yes, soit was the only thing that would make
her feel somewhat whole, which iscurrently why she would do whole foods.
(19:32):
Sorry, see that. She alsosaid that she gained about forty to fifty
pounds because of all the cheese shewould eat. She said that she would
eat five or six large blocks ofcheese every single week, a couple of
times a week. Like that's ridiculous, by the way, that, Yeah,
doesn't make a difficult to hold pottyhuld keep you all kinds backed up,
(19:53):
I would think. Not surprisingly,she was able to find, especially
being in New York, a rehabcenter for those who were addicted to cheese.
What at a cost of six thousanddollars per week, that is a
lot of cheese. Yes, Butwe do have an update and apparently she's
doing gouda now. Oh that's socheesy. Yeah, that's your food for
(20:17):
thought with us, Billy and youinspired by our very own Judy Diamond,
who just got back from Boston,your son Leo's graduation. You took your
eighty nine year old dad, Yougot an airbnd. It was not what
you were expecting. It was horribleand it was almost like one of those
hostels, but as if it wasin a jail. It was horrible.
And the funny thing is Leo,my son, was able to get a
(20:40):
refund. And they said, well, we want pictures, and I said,
tell them that it was so disgustingand I have time to stop and
take pictures. And if it's thatbad, there's no way. You're the
only one who's ever complained about thisplace. They have to have had this
happen before, which is why weended up with a refund. There you
go, and you got to sleepon your son's couch instead. Yes,
all right, it's all good.Yeah, your Airbnb vacation disasters, what
(21:04):
do you have for us? Ibooked a nineteen fifty camper in the woods
in Vermont one summer. There werea lot of bugs. I don't know,
it wasn't great. It's not reallyan Airbnb, but that is a
disaster. I suppose, no,no, no, you could book those
on Airbnb. Because I've looked atthose before. My son booked like a
cabinty tent thing one time. Isthat right? I thought it was just
(21:25):
like people own like homes that theyrented out. I didn't know that.
Oh yeah, it's all kinds ofthings. And now he's going to live
in or going with his girlfriend somewherefor a wedding in Portland, Maine.
And he said they're staying in oneof those urdos. I can't think of
the name of it. They're likea bed one tent. Well exactly know
what that means either, But thatsounds like that's a disaster in the making.
(21:48):
I agree. You want to shareyour airbnb slash vacation disasters with us
as we get closer to heading offon vacation this weekend on memorially to hear
your stories. Yeah, just goover to Billy and Judy facebook page.
Maybe you have pictures to share.I have shared some of our vacation pictures
