Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, good morning, justin here, welcome back to the show.
So if you heard about the ground Round returning, I
remember as a kid going to the Ground Round with
my family pretty much every Sunday. But they've been going
for a while they are coming back. That got us
thinking about other restaurants or businesses that were around we
were kids that we wish could come back. Let's go

(00:21):
to Jeff online.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
One.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's always a pleasure to talk to you guys, to
make my day start off happy. So two things. One,
the restaurant that I missed the most would be Woolworths
count to while your mother's shop.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh Jeff, how old are you?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Fifty five?

Speaker 4 (00:39):

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I was a sous chef at the largest grossing Ground
Round in all New England and Norwood and we actually
had these test kitchen in the basement. They did a
full kitchen downstairs and the test kitchen chef would come
upstairs and go over items. Wow, and we had hand
picked different things and Mitch and mix a match we

(01:03):
used to have in know what we used to have
on Saturday. There was a full costume clown that would
give out balloons on Saturdays. Do you guys remember the
black and white. Mickey Mouse did show on the screen.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Oh I remember that.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
And then you would you would have either popcorn or
peanuts that would be all over the floor.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Yeah, and you could go out.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
With a family of four for like twenty twenty five bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Yeah. It was crazy, believe.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
It or not. We we sent out a We had
a questionnaire. When you sit down, you fill it out.
One of the biggest complaints we got was the menu
was too big. We had three hundred and seventy five
items the menu.

Speaker 7 (01:41):
Yeah, that always fascinates me at a restaurant that has
such a.

Speaker 8 (01:45):
Lunch canu Yeah, cheesecake fact, same thing, a cheesecake Yeah,
all right.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Don't come to it was like twenty five dish chicken dishes, Like,
I mean, how many? How many can you get? So
that was one of my tasks is the test kitchen
told me to go through it and start getting read
of items. Didn't didn't really gel well, Jeff, the good news.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
The good news is they might be hiring right now.
Even always go back.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
So what are you doing now, Jeff?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, right, I actually managed property and I'm actually designing
my own restaurant. I'll probably take another two years to
get the funding. It's going to be over a million,
so but it'll take a while.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, keep in touch with us. We'll give you a
shout out when you open the door.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, maybe Dining Playbook will come to a feature on it.

Speaker 7 (02:26):
I guarantee that, Jeff, how's that we'll bring the Dining
Playbook cameras in?

Speaker 9 (02:30):
Don't say that, because in two years with Jeff reach
it out, I never said that.

Speaker 8 (02:35):
Can you isolate this right now?

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Justin?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Why would I promise that? I am saving it, Jeff?

Let's go to Roberto from Fitchburg. Good morning, Roberto, what
have you got?

my family has dubbed the chicken graveyard to talk about
it two to three times at least a year. Ponderosa.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yes, Lisa had that a couple of minutes ago.

I have such like fond memories and when I was
a little girl growing through the cafeteria style line and
get my rabbi Ponderosa. Yeah, you took a tray and
you walked through the line and you told them what
you want.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Like a school school cafeteria.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Yeah, wow, you go and you chewed your pizza meat
if they want, if you wanted a steak or something,
they'd bring it to your table. But I just was
there for the chicken wings and potatoes, gravy and of
course stop serve ice cream limited. It was the best
in heaven all the time.

Oh yeah, he's all over the country. Yeah, I told,
I told Joe Pantadosi. I met him one you know,
I met him through you. Yeah, and I told him
every Sunday morning, my grandmother would give me a five
dollar bill and I'd have to go down to the
bakery right down the street, Commercial Street and get fresh

(04:43):
bread every Sunday. Oh yeah, shout out them.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
I would love it if they brought Friendly's back. There's
nothing like a good old friendliest fribble.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
So there are a couple of friendlies around. Yeah, they're
not awk A lot A lot have clothes. I worked
there for thirteen years.

That was like a Philly Yeah, they had a magic
pan on Newberry Street, right, Yeah, crapes, crapy like crapes.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
I would do anything for the Hilltop to come back.

Speaker 11 (05:47):
And I used to go there every single Friday religiously
with my grandparents. We'd start up in the lounge, go
down to our table.

Speaker 12 (05:55):
In only Sioux City. I would always get the primary
even as a little kid.

Speaker 11 (06:00):
My sister was too old to order from the kids menu,
but she always wanted the chicken fingers, so I would
order the chicken fingers for her. She'd order my prime
rip and we would switch. The best memories of my
childhood there.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, we used to go to the Hilltop all the time.
Remember when the cow's heads got chopped off in the front,
so we stole the heads of the cows on the
front of the everyone.

Speaker 7 (06:19):
And the Hilltop was one of those places that served
the generations. Yeah, like she was just saying, Anthony's Pier
four was another one that people for generations would go to. It.

Speaker 9 (06:29):
That was like my first real fancy place with Anthony's
Pier four.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
Yeah, right, that was the destination.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, and now look at it, sea Port is so different.

Speaker 9 (06:37):
It took over, Like yeah, before that, it was just
anti K four and like a parking lot.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
That's it.

Speaker 7 (06:42):
Well, it's a great restaurant right on that property now
it's called woods Hill Pier four. It's got a great
outdoor dining right on the beautiful rest.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
There used to be a place in Darry, Newhampshire called
Power Walk. It was a huge Chinese.

Speaker 13 (06:55):
Buffet and that place flocked so hard as a kid.

Speaker 14 (07:00):
But I also feel like COVID did.

Speaker 13 (07:03):
A number on Chinese buffets and those are just my
favorite places. So can we start bringing some of those
places back because there are like none around anymore.

Speaker 8 (07:14):
It's so true. And like the giant salad bars.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
Oh god, yeah, yeah, And don't forget within a few
months we'll lose the Kowloon.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
We'll be calling in about the cowloon. We're never going
to lose the collu.

Speaker 15 (07:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
I don't keep saying that.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't know if that's going to happen or not.
But yeah, I always go to Lynn right.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
Bill, And there's nothing like good Chinese food.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
And green tea right on the wind Way is the
place in land. Make sure to check out their Asian
lobster especialty.

Speaker 15 (07:40):
Oh my kids, one to wait with the Billy and
Lisa's weird stories.

Speaker 10 (07:46):
All right, So this weird story comes from Salem, New Hampshire.
A cat went missing two and a half years ago
from a home in Salem, New Hampshire, and his owners,
Angela and Ryan Walters looked everywhere. But it's good news
because Benny's been found.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (08:03):
Oh yeah, this is a cool story found on Facebook.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (08:06):
So that's when I made the decision to bring him
to a bet to get him checked out and check
for the chip and Rockingham emergency that and Wyndham was
awesome as well.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
I think we had like four or five people crying
in the lobby, happy.

Speaker 11 (08:21):
Tears of course when they came out and they said
it was him.

Speaker 10 (08:25):
So Benny was lost as a kitten. And the parents
have been checking on social media ever since. They saw
this cat on Facebook and said, hey, that looks a
lot like Benny, and they connected it was. It was
at a neighbor's house, so the cat didn't go very far.

Speaker 17 (08:40):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
And they didn't know for sure until they went.

Speaker 10 (08:43):
To the vet and they didn't know and then they
figured it out and they found them.

Speaker 15 (08:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (08:48):
Why I was just calling to say that I know
Benny the cat's family and they are so happy that
he's home. They have been looking relentlessly for two almost
three years, and when they finally got him, they were
so happy, and the story really blew up. But they
are so thankful and thank you for spreading the word
about how cats and other animals can be reunited with

(09:11):
their owners even after many, many years.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
Wow, it's so true.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Wow, that's so cool.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
What are the odds somebody listening to this show would
have a connection to the Benny's family.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
It's a really cool story. And I gotta say I'm
a big cat guy. Now we have a kitten named Jacks.
My wife actually this morning was sending me portraits she
was taking of the cat. Oh god, and he actually
almost got out and we thought he got out and escaped.
It was actually a big deal in my house. Last week.
My wife was hysterical. Kittens are rambunctious. You know, they
can run out.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
But he's okay, Okay, you need to stop posting pictures
or agen does, because I'm telling you every day now
Michelle's asking me if we can get a cat.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah. Michelle met Jacks and fell in love with him.
He's the best. He's an orange cat. He's the best.

Speaker 8 (09:52):
I have to say.

Speaker 10 (09:52):
I've never been a cat person, but I'm thinking about
getting one too.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Well i'll tell you Jack's was cool.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, he's really cool, really friendly, and I gotta get
him nuted.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yes you do.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, I didn't know that, thanks to you guys in
this show and our listeners. I didn't know. I didn't
want to, like, you know, cut his things off, but
apparently I have to because.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Well, you're not doing it yourself, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I just feel bad, you know, but it's the right
thing to.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Do if you could be neutered. Soak your cat.

Speaker 9 (10:21):
Well, yeah, thank you, Winny looking at it.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Thanks. You know what this morning?

Speaker 4 (10:29):
That enjoy and positivity wherever she goes. How about this?

Speaker 7 (10:33):
One of Florida Guy's hands, feet, and elbows turned orange
after he went on an extreme carnivore diet for eight
months and only eight hamburger, meat, cheese, and full sticks
of butter.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Here's his dermatology.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
What you're seeing on his palms are a type of
skim lesion known as a xanthoma. It's a skim lesion
that basically is the result of accumulation a fat in
the cells of the immune system called macrophasis. Macrophasias are
an important cell type. They're basically professional eating cells. They
just go stuff like pathogens and they get laden with things,

(11:14):
and in the case of xanthema's that is often the case.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
You have these.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Lipid, leyden stuffed macrophasis that lead to the formation of
bombs in the skin.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, I was shocked to see the story. It's why
I pulled it. The conivoy diet, the high fat diet
keto sure very popular, you see a lot on social media.
I've tried it before, but I didn't know this could happen.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
Yeah, I was shocked when I read the story and
realized the dermatologists name is doctor Dray.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
Oh that's funny. I'm not even kidding.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
And there's that it is.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Okay, where do you go?

Speaker 19 (11:53):
All right?

Speaker 9 (11:54):
If I ever get pregnant, I know where I'm going
to give birth. So a woman in Alabama gave birth
in a Krispy kreame parking lot. Krispy Kreme is giving
them free donuts for a year and offered to throw
the baby a party every year until he turns eighteen.

Speaker 16 (12:07):
And it definitely slowed down and he was driving. So
I was scared. I was thinking he was gonna start
fan again and start driving fast, but he did very good.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
I was scared. My really could be at I.

Speaker 16 (12:20):
Felt the baby head, the red like and so once
we got into the Crystal Kane parking like, I couldn't
stop pushing and I just saw him sliding out and
I'm like, come grab, we'll go grab wow.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Oh free donuts for life. Yeah, absolutely in a birthday party.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
And you don't have the hospital bell.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
There's the money thing again.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
It's always the money a baby all right.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Lastly, let's head to Eddie, Indiana. I saw this story
over the weekends to feel Good. One. A pizza guy,
you know, delivery guy twenty years old went viral because
he walked half a mile in a snowstorm to deliver
a pizza and the people only tipped them two bucks.
Oh god, the guys out here risking his life anyway,
A cop happened to see him in the snowstorm talk
to him. He told the cop he only got a

(13:06):
two dollars tip. The police officer started the GoFundMe for
this guy, and they'd raised upwards of forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 7 (13:15):
There are people that still see what you do that
goes unseen in your eyes, but in everyone else's they
see what happens, and there's always a community out there
for you.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah. Pretty good, that's awesome.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah the brand. Wow.

Okay, Now what you hear is not a test done
repping to the beat and me Groo and my friends
are going to try to defeat see.

Speaker 17 (19:06):
I am one the mic, and I'd like.

Speaker 23 (19:08):
To say hello to the black, to the white, to
the red and brown, the purple and Yello.

Speaker 21 (19:13):
First, I gotta sang thanks.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Brilliant.

Speaker 10 (19:30):
She got down, hit hit poppy, you don't stop.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
That's an old school clip right then?

Speaker 11 (19:39):
Oh man, I started karaoke at a bar many many
years ago in my twenties.

Speaker 19 (19:44):
I'm in my twenties now, and I would sing my
neck my back by Kaya and I still know the words,
and I still get requested to sing it from beginning
to end, and it's just too inappropriate for me to
get started.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
But I do know all the that's good.

Speaker 12 (20:00):
I'm not proud of it.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah, she doesn't. She thinks it's too dirty. I'm going
to have the edited version here. But it's a fun
karaoke song because it's filthy in my neck, in my
back like it's one of the dirty right when.

Speaker 17 (20:18):
Of course she knows it, Lisa, you did caaoke.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
I touched myself.

Speaker 8 (20:25):
It was a complete disaster.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
That's a classic story.

Speaker 21 (20:29):
Yeah, a little ice ice baby vibe and all right,
stop collaborate and listen.

Speaker 15 (20:34):
I said, that's from the brand new invention. Something the
hold of me tightly flow like a hat sea.

Speaker 12 (20:39):
Billy and nightly willing to stop.

Turn off the light and I'll go to the extreme
rock and look.

Speaker 15 (20:45):
Like a band of stage and lets it jumps like
a candle.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Stop collaborate and listen. I spend.

Speaker 19 (20:53):
The hold of.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
You know what really impresses me about this thing at
the variety of songs.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
You're all different, all different decades too. You want to
go older, I mean we could go older.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Justin I think everybody knows the words to American Pie.
It's a classic.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I forgot. I do know that my mom my mom
used to sing the song to me.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
As I don't like it, you don't like this Bye
Bye American pie.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
About the levee was.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
Whiskey saying that todayically we all know the words.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
American to the letty. The lead was dropped.

Speaker 17 (21:45):
You know, this is like when the band comes to
do your wedding and they say, oh, we know everything.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
God, you just ruined that song. Get emotional.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I could never hear it again. I got emotional, different emotion.
I want to rock right now.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Money is for all based and I came to get down.

Speaker 22 (22:04):

Speaker 12 (23:00):
From the planet Fitness Kiss one Away Studios.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
We're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning on HIT.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Hey guys, good morning, justin here. So do you dream
every night? Do you remember your dreams? Do they mean
anything to you? This was a big topic of discussion
on the Billy and Lisa show, Dreams, The Good and
the Bad.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah, we're gonna talk about dreams now. This was farked.
It was triggered at least by The Bachelor.

Speaker 10 (23:29):
Yeah. So we were watching The Bachelor and they started
the show with a bunch of the girls talking about
the craziest dreams they had had the night before.

Speaker 8 (23:37):
I slept like a baby.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
I had zero dreams.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
I dreamt that some guy was trying to rip.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
My teeth out.

Speaker 14 (23:44):
I had a dream that a baby penguin like oh
and printed on me. I know, and I had to
take care of it. And people were trying to like
get rid of it because I wasn't allowed to have
a penguin. But it was like always jumping my arms
and I had to care for it.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
I love this dream.

Speaker 14 (23:57):
I'm like, maybe I'm feeling nurtural.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
How specific a penguin though, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (24:01):
Baby penguin.

Speaker 14 (24:01):
And it was like dying in the ocean, and I
like rescued it, and that's why it imprinted on me.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
She had sex with the penguin.

Speaker 8 (24:08):
She rescued it, and then someone else had their teeth
ripped out.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
So these are contestants on the Bachelor sharing dreams with
each other.

Speaker 8 (24:15):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 10 (24:15):
So then we got thinking, like craziest dreams because I know, Billy,
every time I walk into the morning, You're like, lease,
I just had the craziest dream last night.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
So, growing up well into adulthood, I had horrific nightmares
all the time, and I was always.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Being chased by gangs.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Again, you know when you see those movies where somebody
takes the wrong exit off the highway and then they
end up in the hood and they're chased by these gangs,
and Dennis Leary was in a really good one I
saw recently. Anyway, I had those all of my life
and it's just always being chased. But recently I've been
having dreams where I come in in the morning and

(24:54):
tell Lisa, Well, Lisa, we were shopping in Abu Dhabi
last night.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
We're always somewhere else in the world.

Speaker 10 (25:01):
Billie and I are always traveling together, always shopping, and
always sitting at a cafe having a glass of white wine.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
Well that sounds a good dream travel pals.

Speaker 7 (25:10):
But always very extremely high end shopping, you know, like
like well you just sit in chairs and they bring
you a glass of wine or champagne or bubbly and
they start bringing clothes out.

Speaker 8 (25:23):
Such an omen Again, I don't know what this means.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
I think I'm having subconsciously a gay phase. I don't.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't think it's a phase.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yeah, I mean this is going, hey girl, well what
about you? It's crazy dreams, you know what.

Speaker 10 (25:41):
I haven't had any recently, so I am just going
to pass on this, really haven't. I don't think I'm
sleeping well, I mean, I honestly like, I think I'm
just not getting that. I'm not getting that deep sleep,
like I'm very like surfacing sleep right now.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
So I hate when I can't remember that dream the
next morning, or when you wake up and you remember
it and then every second that goes by you forget. Yes,
that's what happens.

Speaker 14 (26:07):
Do you know.

Speaker 7 (26:08):
For a while, I would wake up in the middle
of the dream and i'd write notes down because I
wanted to remember the dream.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
That's what they say to do, yea, to write it
down as soon as you wake up.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
You must have some crazy one.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Well, the craziest dream I had is not really funny.
It's it's actually pretty crazy. I'll share it. I had
a friend, a really good friend that I lost contact
with about thirteen years prior, and I didn't know how
to get ahold of him. He had a young daughter
that I was also close with, and so he was
always on my mind. You know, where was he? I
didn't know. And I had a dream randomly a couple
of years ago of him and his daughter, very vividly,

(26:40):
that we were hanging out, and it made me think
about him, and so I said, I need to find
his number. So I looked at old cell phones. I
had an old iPhone. I charged it and I found
a number of his and I called him and he
answered and we started talking and he said, why are
you calling? And I said, well, I had the dream whatever,
And he goes his daughter had been killed the night

(27:02):
before in an accident, a tragic accident, a boating accident.
So how crazy is that?

Speaker 4 (27:09):
And that morning you.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Called Yeah, No, I had the dream this same night
that she passed away, so I was able to reconnect
with him over that. So sometimes dreams are more serious
and there's a serious meaning behind them.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
You know something else weird about my dreams.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
Let's say, for instance, hypothetically, Lisa and I could be
shopping in Istanbul or something, right, just walking the street,
shopping right, No matter where I am in the world,
somehow I'm still I'm not making this up. I'm still
living in my childhood triple decker.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
So let's say.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Lisa and I went to the museum or you know,
I don't know anything, a big show in Paris or
New York City.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
When I go home, it's still my childhood flow when you.

Speaker 8 (27:53):
Get in your little childhood yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:55):
In bed.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yeah, this is If there are any doctors are dreams
specialists in our audience, please call us.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
There's another important point here.

Speaker 7 (28:05):
Growing up, I was very I never brought friends home
because I was very embarrassed by my house. Right, So
even if Lisa and I are in Paris or the
Greek Islands, I'll never let her come to my house.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Okay, well you yeah, Mat sure that no one comes
to your house.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
We still don't go to your house orca.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
You live in a beautiful two floor condo.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
I don't get Oh good point, Well that's just you,
that's not invited. We see home. We've all had.

Speaker 8 (28:34):
I have once, justin briefly.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I have never been to his home. Only the boat.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Yeah, the boat.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
You can go to Bill's house off limits. I don't
know what it is, but.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Winning dreams to call my life.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
It's a bad one. Yeah, it's well documented on the show.
Very interesting. Could be summed up as a bad dream, nightmare.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
When I wake up.

Speaker 8 (28:58):
That's from the bad dream about Jilly and Lisa.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
All right, So a couple of minutes ago, we had
a discussion about dreams, our own weird dreams. What do
they mean? Billy keeps dreaming about triple deckers from his childhood.
I had a weird dream about my friend and his daughter.
Let's go to the phones right now. Alex is in
South Carolina.

Speaker 8 (29:17):
What part Alex in Greenville?

Speaker 12 (29:20):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (29:20):
Greenville is so pretty? Really yeah, really pretty?

Speaker 10 (29:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:23):
Tell us about your dreams.

Speaker 8 (29:24):
Organized must visit right now.

Speaker 12 (29:27):
Well, I was just saying that it's so cool right now.
If it's us pretty, it's pretty cool and rainy, okay,
cold and rainy, all right, Okay, at least it's not icy.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
But give us your dreams. What's going on?

Speaker 12 (29:42):
So about like three years ago, I have this crazy
dream about jellyfish, which I thought it was nothing because
it's just jellyfish. And I was like, oh, bree, and
I took about it with a friend. I was like,
you know, I have this dream and it was weird.
I have never dreamed of about that. But and she
was like, I have heard that if you dream about jellyfish,

(30:04):
is like it means dead, like what And she was
like yeah. And I was like, oh, okay, whatever it means.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
It means yeah, like you could die.

Speaker 12 (30:16):
And I was like, okay, probably it's just something that
you you know right on line, doesn't mean anything whatever.
And months later I got into a car accident, like
really terrifying whine and we got to the hospital because
the whole car was destroyed. I was in the eighty five.

(30:37):
I got hit by a car. I hate the wall
that divides you sides and all my passengers. I was
just destroyed. And once we got to the hospital, they
front tests, X ray whatever, and they were like, well,
everything is fine. You just have so much crashes, but
you're fine. And I showed them the picture and they

(30:57):
were like you were the driver and I was like yeah.
They were like were you alone and I was like yeah,
it was just me and they were like, well, from
the pictures, you shouldn't be here.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Oh, well, you know what it is?

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Unresolved issues.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
I think totally well, chat Ept says, dreaming of jellyfish
means potential hidden dangers in your waking life. Their seemingly
harmless apparents, but ability to sting with their tentacles.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Oh yeah, jellyfish. Yeah, Okay, I don't think the mayor
of the South End is on the phone.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
We appreciate you listening all four hours, but you know
you can do other things.

Speaker 23 (31:37):
I am a good one.

Speaker 15 (31:38):
I can go away now if you want.

Speaker 24 (31:40):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
I just know I love talking to you. I'm just
not sure I want to hear about your dreams.

Speaker 15 (31:46):
Well, it's a sex stream, but I'll clean it up.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
Okay.

Speaker 23 (31:50):
So I'm on this planet and I'm the only me
and on this planet, and my job is to have
sex with all these women. They keep bringing one beautiful
woman after another, and it's another one, another beautiful woman,
another beautiful woman. So I'm very depressed.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I'm not liking this.

Speaker 15 (32:07):
So then I fall asleep.

Speaker 23 (32:09):
Then I wake up and I go to the mirror,
and I have become Elizabeth Taylor.

Speaker 15 (32:17):
And I know, I know there are reasons for dreams.

Speaker 23 (32:20):
And I know I had too much wine and I
was watching Cleopatra before I went to bed.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
That's why Liz Taylor Cleopatra. Yeah, it makes sense. Hey,
that's a good question. Does liquor cause more dreams?

Speaker 2 (32:33):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (32:35):
No?

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Well, dreaming of other planets, according to chat ept Uh,
could represent a desire to escape from the mundane or
yearnings the mayor for something bigger than yourself.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
Well, well, I'm not going to ask him how big
he is. Okay, we're not doing that on the morning
shot now. I was going to gretch it online too.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah, and and oh okay, Gretcha and line too. Good morning.
What's your dream?

Speaker 5 (33:04):
Good morning, guys?

Speaker 19 (33:05):
So I have like crazy dreams where I get like
shot and stabbed and chased. Oh yeah, one that like, yeah,
they're pretty, they're pretty scary to the normal human. But
I'm just so use to them now they don't bother
me anymore.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
So that's it.

Speaker 7 (33:19):
That's the only dream you have constantly being stabbed and
attacked and chased.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
Not all the time.

Speaker 19 (33:24):
But the one I was calling in for is that's
like really stuck with me. I was in like a theater,
like an older style theater where there's a balcony. Yeah,
and we were watching the show and the balcony fell
and a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
You know, didn't make it.

Speaker 19 (33:38):
But I hit the ground. And when I hit the ground,
my teeth thaw out in my head and I remember
picking them off the ground and like trying to stick
them back in my head.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
And that one, for some reason, has just.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Stuck with me.

Speaker 11 (33:49):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
And you're not even sure if you're picking your own
teeth and put them in your it could be somebody else.
That's a nightmare right there.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
And we're back with the Villy Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Hey, everybody, justin here to wrap things up on a Monday.
Thank you for joining the show. We appreciate it. A
reminder you can listen to the Billy and Lisa Show
right here on kiss wan to Wait anywhere you go
in the country. And the world no matter where you
are on the iHeartRadio app, which by the way, is
new and improved, free to download a ton of new features.
They have a lyrics feature, a scan feature in our favorite,

(34:22):
a preset feature where you can set kiss one to
wait as your number one preset. We would appreciate it.
Screenshot it, send us, let us know when you did.
We're all one big family, right all right, before you
get out of here, we had Beth Title on from
the Boston Globe. She wrote an article about Mel Robbins
the whole phenomenon and included Lisa's book club and Mel's
bigger parents at Big Night Live. But we had a

(34:43):
couple of other questions for Beth as well.

Speaker 15 (34:45):
I am so glad you guys are having me on
to discuss this because Lisa's billy. As you were saying,
the evening that Lisa hosted was potentially the most insane
thing I've seen in decades as a reporter.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Yeah, it was good. People were just so thrilled to
be there, and just Mel is their queen.

Speaker 8 (35:01):
And I have to say, Beth, you and I go
back way back. I mean like years and years and
years and years and years, so it was great to
see you, and it was great to have you there.
But but yeah, so we.

Speaker 10 (35:12):
Experienced this Mel Robbin's phenomenon, all of us together in
a collective, you know, sort of experience, and I have
to say as a team.

Speaker 8 (35:22):
I'll speak for the team.

Speaker 10 (35:23):
I've never felt more uplifted and more positive than after
I when you know when I left that that.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Night, Beth, what were your thoughts when you left that night?

Speaker 15 (35:35):
Well, first of all, I thought Lisa did an amazing
job as a host. That was great. You were such
a fun conversational partner for her. Was the thing I
was struck by was the entry that Mel made onto
the stage. Well, two things. One, it's just as you
guys captured in some of the little excerpts you had
in the beginning of this segment, how people felt about

(35:55):
her like I had. I was walking around beforehand with
my notebook and asking people, you know, what has Meil
done for you? And I finally just heard so many
people were saying to me she changed my life in
these different ways that soon I felt like there was
no part of life that had not been changed by
lease By by Meil, and I was kind of running
out of room in my notebook to even write anything

(36:17):
down relationships, jobs, friendships, relationships with themselves, you know, the relatives,
their muscle tone, you know. So that was super interesting.
It was I don't know if you guys remember the evening,
but I'm sure you do. But the listeners, mind, I
know it was fifteen degrees outside the day that she came, Yeah,
and it was so cold. But in that room, so
she I was mentioned what it was like when she
entered the room. I mean, so first of all, dou

(36:38):
Alipa was pumping up up the crowd over the sound system,
not that any pumping was needed, and she was in
the back and she's making her way to the States.
She's blowing kisses to the heavens. Who's like a rock
star but almost more like a savior. And these middle
aged moms where there were screaming like teenagers, and everyone's
clamoring for selfies and hugs were flying, and her video
team was capturing it all for her. She's got twenty

(36:59):
four million followers across all her platforms, and I almost
felt like if their lives weren't perfect at this glorious moment,
it didn't really matter because someone's proud out shouted out,
I love you, Mel, and then when she took the stage,
she's like, remember her shirt was untopped.

Speaker 10 (37:12):
I know she's the best because she's real and she
shares real moments. She you know, she's made mistakes in
her life and everyone can connect to that, and that's
why everybody showed up.

Speaker 8 (37:23):
But the thing about Mel that I find to be
amazing is.

Speaker 10 (37:27):
That she takes simple concept like she she basically boils
down concepts into something that's easy to understand and then
easy to implement in your life the second you see it,
whether it's on Instagram, whether it's listening to the Mel
Robbins podcast, which by the way, is number one in
the world again, and that doesn't that just doesn't happen.
It's not easy to do that. So so I totally

(37:50):
get why so many people were there and just like all.

Speaker 15 (37:54):
In you No, that's such a good point. I mean
the point it's interesting because her concepts, I mean, her
critics will say that she's just repackaging other people's ideas,
whether it's from the Stoics or the serenity prayer or
advice your mom gave you, Like a lot of it
is super simple and When I asked her about that,

(38:14):
she just said, let them, like, let them say that,
and she's right, and so are you, and that she's
very good at boiling it down to something that you
can actually use. And I was struck watching her the
day before, as I had during recording one of her podcast,
that she's very mindful of giving her people an instant
tool that they can use. And I think that to

(38:35):
let them, boiling it down to let them is the
perfect example of that, because it's like almost feels physically
good if you're upset about something or something's happening at work,
just in your mind, you're like, okay, if I let
them like them not treat me how I want to
be treated. And then a really interesting part, I think
is the second part of that let me. So she's
not saying just give up, like, let them do what

(38:56):
they want. It's yes, let them, let me not try
to control. Then let them do this, but then me
see how I can change my own situation for the better.
Which it's just for words, but it's wonderful, right, And.

Speaker 8 (39:07):
It's she's not saying let it go.

Speaker 10 (39:09):
She's just saying, give yourself the space and time to
think about how you want to react to something at
work or something at home. So it gives you that
piece and then you can say, then you can think
about what you really want.

Speaker 7 (39:21):
And Beth, I read the whole article, and I mean,
Oprah invited this woman said it was the best book
she's ever read, best books she's ever read. And part
of the article, I thought you had a little edge there,
and part.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Of the article.

Speaker 15 (39:36):
I wanted to reflect what her well actually would her
critics say. And also even some people who like her
are critical of her. So I'm glad that you brought
that up, you know, as I said, like some people
really do feel that she's just repackaging other stuff and
she's good at it, and like, why are people taking
advice from her? She was eight hundred thousand dollars dead
at times, she couldn't get out of it.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
The story.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
Here's the thing about that, that's what people relate to.
We're all in debt.

Speaker 10 (40:02):
So it's kind of liked, no, but it's like, but
that's who I want to hear from. I want to
hear from someone who's made the mistakes, made the same
mistakes that I've made over and over again. And then
and she's saying, but you can, you can make you
can lift yourself out of it, and here's how you
can do it.

Speaker 15 (40:18):
I think that's so well put. And I spoke with
a woman who's an owner of a bookstore in town
to Brooke my booksmith a great store, and she said,
she said, I'm one of the people that lived my
life by her, but also I'm annoyed by her. And
she said, the part of me that gets rigged out
is the part that she used the marketing machine. Everything
loops back, she said to Mel, Mel, Mel, But.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
That's okay, isn't it. That's okay.

Speaker 15 (40:43):
Yeah, she got booked on her Instagram feed, and then
she started listening to podcasts and she took her Mel
Robins Free two part training video, and so less than
a year later, this woman now credits Mel Robbins with
giving her the tools to improve her health regimen, her
budget for parenting in her inner life, and she thought
about this message there. Robins includes in her email blast
and says in a podcast she says, in case nobody

(41:06):
else tells you today, let me be the first to
say that I love you and I believe in you
and your ability to create a better life. No she
is sending that to strangers, right, but this is what
the woman said to me. That could sound really gimmicky,
but that kind of unconditional love, it can empower you.
And I kind of summarize the whole thing, and it does.

Speaker 10 (41:24):
And I love when Mel on her on her Instagram,
she always like blows a kiss to you at the
end of her message. And I have to tell you
that's that's what resonates with me the most. That's I
love that part of it because it's just yeah, it's
really real and she really does care.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
And to see the look on everybody's faces that night,
I mean absolute joy. There was just joyful to just
be there and being the presence of Mel Robbins. I
thought it was an amazing experience to be there. But
that's a great article. Thank you very much for joining
