Speaker 3 (03:45):
I got some headlines here. Can you guess what's the
real headline? What's the fake headline? Billy and Lisa? Hmm,
I'll run through it. I'll read the story the headline.
You tell me whether you think it's real or it's fake.
Sol Is that okay? Lisa, you're up first. It is
Halloween next week, but it's Halloween season. How about a
mom in California bought an old scream mask at Goodwill

(04:06):
and found out it was worth a lot more than
she paid for. She ended up selling it for eight
hundred dollars. Is that a real story or a fake story.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm gonna say it's fake.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
You're saying fake.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Final answer, Yeah, that's real.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Who it is real?

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
The woman went into the thrift store. She bought a
ghost face mask from the movie Scream. But the one
that she bought actually came out five years before the
movie came out.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
So she bought it for very little and sold it
for eight hundred dollars.

Speaker 11 (04:40):
I put it on an eBay auction starting at ninety
nine cents because A I don't know about these things,
and B I'm not here to price gouge.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
And within thirty minutes it went from ninety nine cents to.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Four hundred and five dollars, and then the day after
that five forty.

Speaker 12 (04:52):
And a few days after that five sixty, and then
with an hour left of auction, it jumped to seven
hundred and the winning bid was seven hundred eighty dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
You never know where you find a good will, right question, Yes,
what's the buyer gonna do with it?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's a collector's item. The movie came out in nineteen
ninety one. This came out five years before that.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Ah, it's an.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Original collector's item.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Of course. There you go.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
All right, Moving on, Bill, I know you were just
in Africa. You saw a lot of animals, including zebra.
As you were up close and personal.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
A lot of zebra. It's my favorite animal.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
How about this zoo in Kansas have started a rent
a zebra fundraiser to raise money. You can rent a zebra?
Is that a real or a fake story.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm gonna say that's a real story. I would rent
a zebra.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I know you would, So you're saying it's a real story.
Final answer, final answer.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Zero for two.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
You can't rent a zebra.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
You cannot rent a zebra.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yet, maybe somebody this is your new business venture.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I'm gonna go out and get a bunch of zebra.
Is it zebra plural or zebras?

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Oh that's a good question. It's been a long time
since I've been in school, so we'll have to look
that up. Okay, all right, Next headline, Lisa reel are fake.
There's been some rain in Arizona recently and some rare
toads have been coming out and people are licking them
to try to get high.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
What do you think.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I cannot have no idea. I'm gonna say it's real.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I don't know, real headline, real story. Final answer is
that your final answer?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I don't even know because it could be true and
it could not be true.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Well that's the point, that's the fun of the game,
right fifty to fifty shot final answer.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know. Like looking toads real are fake? Wait
to get what? Why are they to getting hot?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
You're looking toads in Arizona to try.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
To get Hey, I'm gonna say it's real.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
You're gonna say real, Yeah, it is real.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Authorities are telling people not to lick these toads and
to keep pets away from them because they could be bad.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Bad.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
You shouldn't be looking toads anyway.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
No, yeah they could.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, all right, Well did you get a war on
your tongue?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
I'm not sure, but I do have a zoologist whose
German shepherd survived licking one of the toads.

Speaker 10 (07:08):
The first thing I would do is take a garden
hose and flush their tongue and then make plans to
get to an emergency clinic right away. The key thing
is you want on to keep their body temperature from
spiking because that can lead to seizure and death. And
so you know, quicker into the tongue. Work that tongue,
get that slime off.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Know, all of that is possible. Seizures that like wide lick.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well, the humans are licking them to try to get high. Yeah,
because you know people are crazy. But the animals are
licking them because they're animals.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
They're because they're curious.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah. So at the end of the day, work that tongue.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
But don't lick the toe, correct, all right, Bill Railer.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Fake story.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
A man was arrested for stealing a twelve thousand dollars
twelve thousand dollars in Halloween decorations to try to keep
up with his neighbors.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Is that a rail or a fake story?

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Some people have huge displays, giant skeletons, drive a lot,
very elaborate.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, I'm gonna say it's real. He paid twelve grand
real final answer, that's a fake story, Bill, Okay, it's listen.
It's a fifty to fifty shot. It is what it is.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
And I hope people that are listening in their cars
are playing along. Right, this is like an easy game
to play.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Along with, right, Lisa, Real or fake story. We talked
a lot about chickens this week. The chickens at my
house are under attack from raccoons. But in China, a
new trend is piercings for chickens, and this is catching on.
Real or fake?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
What do you mean piercings for chickens.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like piercings piercing the chickens like they're different parts of it.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's horrible, horrible, But is it real? It's in China?
That real or fake?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Ah, this is awful. Piercings for chickens. I'm going to
say it's real.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Final answer.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, you know what. I'm glad. Yes, thanks.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
If it were real, Justin's wife Jen would be piercing
the chickens in the backyard. No, she loves the chickens.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah. I think that that's like it's animal cruelty.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Definitely.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, I'm glad it's fake.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
All right, Bill, last one?

Speaker 12 (09:15):
All right?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Fifty to fifty shot here on our railer. Fake headlines, Coler.

debuted a new six hundred dollars toilet camera that watches
you go and then Ana analyzes the results to track
your health bill costa. Is this a real or a

Billy Lisa Now the entertainment update with a Billy godstead
On Kiss one Away.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
So Travis Kelcey just bought a nine percent stake in
six Flags and when it was announced, six Flags stock
jumped about fifteen percent. Let's face it, the Kelsey brothers
have always been fans of six Flags. Yeah, we did
go to stutter board a lot, just about once or
twice a year. For those of you that don't know,
Oh yeah, we got to lay the loft. Seeter Point

(10:46):
is roller Coaster USA.

Speaker 13 (10:47):
It has been the premier roller coaster amusement park in
the country.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
What at least was I think, he wills. They almost
have to have a Travis Ryde now.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Right, Anna Anna Taylor ride with all her music. That
would be really fun.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, we're probably already designing it.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
One of the most embarrassing things as a parent in
my life is that now as a grown man, I'm
too scared to go on the roller coasters with my son.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I hate them too.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I don't like them.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
I refuse to.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
I like the tea cups with my daughter, even though
sometimes those spin a little bit too fast for me.

Speaker 12 (11:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well, we go to Canoby all the time. I mean
I don't go down any of those. I'm the same.
I used to love roller coasters. Now I wouldn't go
on one.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
My two boys like the Zipper ride. Oh man, the
tops Field Fair.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, one one fell off somewhere in the country weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
It detached, a little cage came crosh and by the way,
I went to Canoby recently with my dad and my son.
My dad is I think seventy two maybe, and he
went on the roller coaster.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
So my dad loves roller coasters. Yeah, he goes on
with the kids.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, meantime, this is a cool story. Somebody online did
a mashup of Taylor Swift's Elizabeth Taylor and the Backstreet
Boys song Everybody aj from the back Street Boys reposted it.
Taylor commented, oh my god, she loves it. Here it
is from the Backstreet Boys. Suddenly on the move again.

(12:15):
Right yesterday when announced he's got a new album coming
out in November. I think it's a good thing.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
I think it is too.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
We have more Taylor news. Swifties or convinced that Taylor
is going to sit down with call her Daddy really
soon some sort of a subtle tease they saw on
social or something. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Well, the management team that handles Taylor Swift's social accounts
responded to a fans tweet and said something along the
lines of are you calling her daddy?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
You call her daddy?

Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, of course the Swifties ran with it. Yeah. I
wouldn't expect it to happen today because posh Spice, Victoria
is on call her Daddy. That's going to be an
interesting conversation.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Well, Victoria has a Netflix show. There was one about David,
now there's one about her.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
So Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
I like that she's opening up and the resting you know,
bitch faces is seems.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
To be you know, in the rear view mirror for her.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Because as much as she's been in the news and
in the tabloids for years, I've never seen her speak. Yeah,
and when she well, when she did, it's like watching
paint dry.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, if you could.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Listen, there was Yeah, there wasn't a whole lot of
personality and.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
There's very little movement of the face. But this is
another cool and Charlie Poth was on Fallon last night
talking for the first time about his baby on the way.

Speaker 14 (13:30):
On Thursday, also released the music video for Changes.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
That's Uh. That's got a lot of people talking. I
feel like I know what you're gonna ask.

Speaker 14 (13:37):
Well, does it there's a there's a part in the
video where you and your beautiful wife Brooke are dancing
together and you're both holding her tummy.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I didn't leave much up to the imagination there, but yeah,
we'll be uh, we're expecting a baby in March. Yeah,
because until last night all we had was the picture
in the music video. So Charlie Pooth likes to call
himself professor music or professor of music. He teaches music.

(14:11):
We've witnessed him teaching music and he asked Fallen the
night before he went on the show to send him
a voicemail of him singing a song, and Charlie's new
song Changes was the one he chose.

Speaker 14 (14:23):
There's been some changes and a life.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
No it's good and I like this part at the
end here word no no.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I kind of improvise it. I improvise. So last night
Charlie took Jimmy's voicemail and created a song.

Speaker 14 (14:43):
Look what happens when you put everything together.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
There's been some changes and nine fo. I feel that
it is.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Let's put it with the drums now.

Speaker 10 (14:53):
There's been some changes instances.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's a jam, absolute jam.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
I love this song.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
And then our buddy Lewis Capaldi did the BBC Live
Lounge this week, remember the Paris Paramore song Still in
d and Lewis Capaldi did his own version of the
song as only he can. I should be over of
the butterflies.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
A lot of his music is sad, you know, it's heartfelt,
but he says the new album will be happy songs,
which signals that I think that he is in a
happy place.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
You know what I mean. Absolutely good news for K
Pop Demon Hunters fans, and new toys are on the way.
Mattel is going to release a three pack of dolls
ready for re order or order November twelfth, and Hasbro
has Monopoly deal already available for order.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Also, Mattel dropped a special edition Stevie Nicks barbie yesterday,
sold out in under one minute.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Your kid, that's a cool barbe now.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
It was sixty dollars retail, now going for upwards of
one thousand dollars online.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can see why.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, and don't forget We'll have that sing a long
moment for the K Demon Hunters at our jingle Ball
December fourteenth. Lisa had a packed house last night. Another
sold out Lisa's book club, and.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
It was because Ellen Hildebrand joined us.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
She talked about her new book, The Academy, which she
wrote with her daughter Shelby, and I asked her, how
did the idea come about?

Speaker 13 (16:33):
The stories were crazy, and at some point in the
middle of her sophomore spring, I said we She was
telling me a particularly scandalous story and I said, we
are writing a novel, and she very famously said, don't
temp me with a good time. So I was like, okay,
so she said yes, and then we just as she

(16:54):
moved through boarding school, we just were keeping notes and
we called it straight to the pages and STP and
everything that happened. We were just writing down, and then
when we went to write it, we created the characters
together and discussed their arcs.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Pause here to.

Speaker 13 (17:12):
Let you know because some of you've already read the book. Yes,
there's obviously a book two.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
So book one has already been optioned by a very
popular streaming service that also did The Perfect Couple, Yeah,
which shall remain nameless, But that's happening and it should
come out probably fall of like twenty twenty seven. She said,
great showrunner, and then she talked a little bit about

(17:37):
growing up as a little girl and how much she
liked writing, and how she got this award from one
of her favorite teachers.

Speaker 13 (17:43):
My teacher, missus Buckwelder, you know, years and years of decades,
decades later, came to my signing when I signed in
my hometown, and she sat in the front, and I
was able to say to her, you know, maybe I
showed extraordinary talented age seven, but more likely I was
enthusiastic about making up stories and writing them down, and
you encouraged me, and you called me an author, and

(18:05):
you sent me on my way. So for if we
have any teachers in the audience, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Do we have any teachers? Yeah?

Speaker 13 (18:11):
That is the power of education, right there, is believing
in your kids and noticing their talents yep, and telling them.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
What are the odds that her teacher at a young
age had the word book in her name. I know,
that's good point I noticed.

Speaker 7 (18:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Ellen has so many of her books now in production,
you know, for different series. So it's pretty cool that
she was able to join us last night at join meane.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
You're doing the book club this week in Hartford. How
can people go?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Just dam me?

Speaker 4 (18:44):

talk about. He's a sports writer. He's wrote the Lebron Book,
the Tiger Book. Bring yourself, bring your boyfriend, bring your father,

Friendlies in Pembroke, which means they are now down to
just seven. I've got the ones remaining right here, haverl Marlborough, Middleborough, Norwood, Peabody,
Plymouth and Weymouth. What's going on with.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Friends Pembroke has been taken off of their website. You
know it started in nineteen thirty five in Springfield, local company,
Local company. I think there's a lot of competition out
there now, I really do.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Either that or they turned away when Justin was on
the grill.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Oh no, actually I was a fantastic grill cook at
friends thank you very much. I worked there for many years,
as did my wife at the Haveroal location which is
still open.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
She was a server.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I was a grill cook, not there. I was in Amesbury.
How weird is that that the two of you were
working separate Friendlies at one point.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, it's because when I so two thousand and eight,
I got kind of cleaned up my life a little biteah,
and they were the only place that I can get
a job, and so I started cooking there. Never cooked
in my life. And I was actually pretty good at it.
I mean it's not.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Really cooking, it's more heating things up, if you will.
But they hired you as a cook and you had
no experience.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
No experience I learned. I got actually really good at it.
And then and then my wife shortly after applied it
to Friendlies and have rol and she served there for many,
many years. I mean so much so that when I
started working on Kiss one o eight, I was still
working at Friendlies even when I was on the air,
and I was so ashamed that I would hide in
the back and I wouldn't I wouldn't come out because

(21:20):
I don't know, I just felt like it was weird.

Speaker 7 (21:22):
You know.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
I was just getting my foot in the door. I
wasn't making a lot of money, so I had to
do both jobs.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Did you ever have to yell out orders up? Oh yeah, really,
I love that. Oh yeah, you yell at the server.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
So why do we think they're closing?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
They were already closing when I worked there. I haven't
worked there in probably ten years, but they were already
starting to close.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I think it's a lot of competition out there, but man,
Friendlies is a staple.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Man.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
I grew up going to Friendlies and then I worked there.
Of course, great for kids, I mean the best for kids.

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Kids will do anything for a trip to Friendlies is
because we have the best kids menu filled with the
stuff kids love. And each kid's meal comes with a
free Sunday every time each day and now for limited time,
all kids' bils of just two ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Wow, that's insane.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Well, we need to point out we don't know if
that's a current promotions.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
And I think that that was probably.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, they got the monster.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Mash Yeah, yeah, all the cute little like ice cream Sundays.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I don't know, it's it's sad that they're closing.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
That is sad. I So I was a grill cook
there and they had this competition. Oh god, it was
called the Grill Games. Not friendly sure, okay. So they
took the top stores into a grill off competition and
they would face off against each other for a grand
prize of ten thousand dollars. And our store, me and
another kid from our store made it to the regional finals.

(22:38):
We beat like a bunch of local stores.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Making do you have a specialty what's that? Did you
have a specialty dish or something?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
So they would give an order and you have, you'd
be timed, you have to complete the order and then
they would rate how well you did. And then we
ended up going to the regional finals at a store
way up in Maine. And how it worked was you
had the competitions at stores that were neutral that weren't
a home store for the competing team. But for this

(23:06):
some reason, we had it at the store of the
team that was competing, so it was their home store.
So they had the advantage. They knew where everything was.
We're walking in we don't know the kitchen per se,
and they smoked.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Us and we lost. But I think I won a
couple grand though, you know, as a tribute to Friendly's
local company. I think we should have like a billion
Lisa Morning Show night at Friendlies. It's a great time.
It's a great time. How much fun would that be?

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Get a honey barbecue melt Oh, we got to set
this up, fribble.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Well, there's one year me and Weymouth still open, so
I can go to that one.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
No, we all have to go together. I'll go to Weymouth, Okay, yeah,
and we'll invite people. We'll have a billion Lisa Morning
Showed tribute night to Friendlies. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:47):

ago with a monster mash from Friendlies.

Speaker 2 (23:56):

Yes, so you know.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
How like when I get I get very animated behind
the scenes of the show. Yeah, and I flail my arms.
I actually posted on my Instagram behind the scenes video
of me flailing. Imagine me behind the grill.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, if we set up the billion Lisa Morning Show
night right, would you get on the grill for old
time sake? Yeah? I would. Yeah. I cooked a good
burg I was really good at cooking breakfast. I was.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
I could do the one handed crack on the eggs.
You can crack an egg with one hand it once,
No way. I did post eggs over medium, over easy,
over hard, overwhell. I cooked all the bacon. I eat
the talent and I ate all the food too, which
is why I blew up to.

Before you know it there will be none. We got

you're stuck on that. Okay, we'll work on that.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
I worked at Friendlies for many, many years a long
time ago, and I remember my favorite saying was just
going into the walk in fridge finding the Rezi's peanut
butter cup box and eating so many of them every
time I worked, Like literally, me and my friends made
such a dent in the peanut butter cups that they
had to start being monitored. It was wild.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Same thing at Oxtore. Yeah, we were eating the Rece's
peanut butter cups and they win the freezer and just
grab Racie's cups. I used to eat everything. Yeah, I
couldn't stop. And then they started keeping them in the
office so that you couldn't just take them.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh they they oh they locked them up. They counted sad.

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Well, think about a restaurant, right, you have the cost
of the food, They keep track of it. Yeah, and
if you got a heavy loss, then what are you
going to do? You could have led to the closure.
I mean I don't know about that. They were already
starting to close when I was working there.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
The same thing happened to Brighams. They used to be everywhere. Yeah,
the ice cream place, another local. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Oh my kids loved it.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Was just like friendly. They had food you could get,
you know, sandwich.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Juice and yes you can still buy the ice cream
at the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh yeah, I see it at the store. Yeah, so
Brigham still exists. I don't know about the restaurants. Yeah,
and don't forget you can buy Friendies ice cream in
the store.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah you can.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
They sell the little cups, the little Sunday Cups. I
like those two. Those are really good.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
You gotta get the Monster Mash.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Dude, the Monster Mash is good. It's got the So
Friendlies had the best. I don't know why we're going on.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
To my friendly so sorry.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Friendlies has the best mint chocolate chip ice cream. Okay,
it's the best.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
It's green.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
It's the best one of all time. If I get
mint chocolate chip and it's white, I won't eat it,
all right, I like it to be great. You know
there was a rule around mint chocolate chip. All right,
So we'll plant the Billy and Lisa Friendlies experience. We
have to do it before they close all of them.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Then kids run away. It's the morning wrap up on
Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
So we got to talk back earlier this morning in
the seven o'clock hour.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
One of our listeners and You had a question.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
But a guy that she met, she needed our advice
or everybody's advice for that matter.

Speaker 12 (28:08):
Guys had a question. So I've been seeing this guy
for a couple of weeks and Lisa, I know you're
kind of newly on the dating scene, so I wanted
to pick your brain. But we have now gone what
was basically our third date. He invites me over and
I discover that he lives at home with his parents. Yeah,
it's super awkward. He does not tell me this. He's

(28:29):
going to make me dinner, and I discover that he
is essentially a failure to launch and has never moved out.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
He is thirty four.

Speaker 12 (28:35):
Is this a red flag?

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, that was the question that we had that we tackled.
Is it a red flag?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
And we pretty much decided it kind.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Of was because he didn't tell her too.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
He wasn't honest with her, right, He just brought her
right into the home and there was mom and dad
cooking the meat loaf.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Well, yeah, you walk in the house and there's mom
at the stove, there's soup, there's meat loaf on the stove,
and you didn't tell her that's where you were going. Yeah,
a little weird.

Speaker 8 (29:00):
Have been out of the dating team now for six years. However,
when I was dating I had criteria one.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Did you live in.

Speaker 8 (29:06):
Home with your parents? It was a huge red flag.

Speaker 10 (29:08):
Too.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
Did you have a car and if you didn't, again,
huge red flag. And three did you have a job
and have golden aspirations? And that was what I was
working with, because good lord, it's rough out there, so
good luck to everybody dating. And there is a fish
in the sea for you.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
What was the last condition? She said, gold chain? Uh,
she did not say gold chain. Do you want to
hear it again? Is that what you want to hear?

Speaker 8 (29:35):
I luckily have been out of the dating team now
for six years. However, when I was dating, I had
criteria one. Did you live in home with your parents?
It was a huge red flag too. Did you have
a car and if you didn't, again, huge red flag.
And three did you have a job and have gold
and aspiration?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Job with aspirations?

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, and those are kind of the basics.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
And then you know what, there's a there's a fish.
There's a fish in the sea for everyone.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Guess, yeah, yeah, there is.

Speaker 10 (30:01):
It's so sad that woman nowadays were judging guys based
some you know, stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
And I can tell you from a guy that dated
three different.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Thoses summer when had a bad credit. I didn't care.
I even helped her fix the credit.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
Why was he living with the parents? I didn't care.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
The other one didn't have a car, and I didn't
judge her. Why guys are always getting judged basic they
don't have a car, they're still living with the ends. Okay,
that's listening to Carlos. They're checking in. He's got uploaded question.
But I like that.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
I like that the girl who was dating have bad credit,
he offered to help her fix it.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, Carlos seems like a great guy.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
He's a man of love because I'm Carlos around the world.

Speaker 7 (30:41):
They got.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Again. The key here was that he said I'm taking
to my place for dinner. He never mentioned that it
was his parents' house. A little bit of a red flag.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's a surprise.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Another red flag we tackled was flip flops from men
yay or nay.

Speaker 7 (31:01):
Slides are okay, flip flops, thong flops, toast splitters, whatever
you want to call them.

Speaker 5 (31:09):
It's not not my favorite.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yes See, I think I'm like in the minority here.
I think they're fine. I think slides are fine. I
think regular flip flops are fine.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I think flip flops are better than slides. That that is,
you're a little creep. No way, slides are way more man.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Well, they're sporty. Flip flops're very sporty.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah. I wear slides. I don't really wear out.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
The kids wear them with socks too, and so do
the athletes.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Oh, the slides with socks thing a good look, are
real popular. Easy slides with socks. But the one with
that goes in your between your toe, that's what you wear.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Flip flop.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
They make both those flip flops amazing. Yeah, that's the best.
And a few minutes ago we were talking about friendlies.
They're closing all the friendlies. There's how many are left now?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Well seven now we think nine?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Okay, nine, They used to be I don't even know fifty, sixty, seventy.
I mean I worked there for years in Amesbury. I
was a grill cook.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Yeah, justin you're wondering why there's no more friendlies because
your fat ass was eating all the profits.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
You got a way to in the show, Thanks, Bun,
it makes me feel better. Well, he's not long.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
You did have a fat ass. I was very fat,
fat head, fat ass.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
Every Yeah, I cook all the bacon in the morning.
Every morning, I opened the store and I cook all
the bacon, and then I would just eat the bacon.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
I was like, cook, you know what I mean. I'm
just saying I have a great day.
