Speaker 1 (00:22):
Cooled out, It's gonna be beautiful.

Speaker 6 (00:23):
Okay, so nice nice day again today so overnight. I
don't know if you noticed this at least another truck
starrod On story.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
This was a big one.

Speaker 5 (00:32):
It was a big one. It hit the bu bridge,
lost the whole top of the truck. So they obviously
didn't get the memo on the height restrictions.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
When are they gonna you know, there are signs everywhere.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
There are, But if you're not paying attention, which a
lot of people aren't, yeah, you can hit the bridge.

Speaker 6 (00:49):
But if you're a truck driver, you're supposed to be
very aware of your height.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Yeah, but this looked like one of those rent to
you know, trucks, so maybe it was just somebody moving
here and they just didn't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, that's why it happens a lot during move in season, right,
because they're all rent to trucks. Yeah, they're not experienced
truck drivers. Yeah, there's signs everywhere. Yeah, the bridges are
so short. It looks like somebody took a can opener
to their truck. The entire roof was gone. Goes when
they can they do see the signs, but it's too late. Yeah,
but they don't hit it yet and then they have
to back up and you know, off of star Row.

Speaker 7 (01:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
Yeah, at least you've got a book club. You're taking
it on the road tonight.

We will be hitting the road and driving to Hartford
this afternoon. And we have Jeff Benedict from The Dynasty
the Patriots at the TV doc I actually rewatched two
episodes yesterday, which that that documentary is so good.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Absolutely, it never gets old. The sequence of the Taylor
Swift song. Yes, when Brady has that what does he
call it? An fe a year FM all year. Remember
that that whole sequence using the Tailor song is one
of the best pieces of television of all time.

Speaker 5 (01:56):
It really is. And so Jeff was a part of that.
He was executive producer. He wrote the Apple TV doc.
It was based on his book The Dynasty. But he's
written the Lebron book, the Tiger Woods book. He's coming
out with the Tom Cruise book next year. So yeah,
so we'll be in Hartford with our sister Station ninety
five point seven and he's.

We all went that night.

Speaker 5 (02:16):

to it, like a lot of our book club with us.
Friends brought their husbands, their boyfriends, their sons. So yeah,
so we'll be there tonight and I'll be back on
the show tomorrow morning.

Speaker 2 (02:31):

Fakamal Baby said that for a long time pulling for us.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Anyways, pretty drive toshdown.

And Lisa, I think just updated you on that.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah, stopping from Paddleford Street, which is exit sixteen.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
You're got the talkbackers on Lisa Dunovan's traffic team.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
They're on it unpaid.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
All right.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
The Golden Bachelor is down to the final two. We've
got Riley on the line.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Riley, good morning, dude.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
You picked peg as the winner at the beginning of
the season and she's in the final two.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Buddy.

Speaker 10 (05:57):
I know she's the reverse of the Fallen and I
can't get up commercial. That's why I picked her.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
She's pretty tough. Wasn't she a former firefighter?

Speaker 10 (06:07):
Yeah? We saw her hometown last night. She was at
a fire station with all the Fellaws, the fellas.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Why is she a former firefighter?

Speaker 10 (06:16):
I'm sure she's winding windling down her career now.

Speaker 11 (06:21):
She's since the Golden.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
Oh, that's right, the Golden Years. It is the Golden Bachelor. Boy,
he was on the hot seat last night riding.

Speaker 10 (06:29):
Mel I know he is not very good at answering questions.
That's what I've picked up.

Speaker 6 (06:36):
So Peg is Riley's picking. I guess PEG's daughter got
involved with Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
So yeah. Dakota was grilling Mel last night. Are you
in love with my mom?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Have you told her that I'm.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Not in love with your mom yet? Because I don't
know I'm on that stage yet.

Speaker 4 (06:52):
Okay? Do you think you can get there by the
end of this journey? I mean we're looking at I
don't know.

Speaker 12 (06:59):
I'm asking Mel some pretty direct questions. His responses aren't
necessarily putting me at ease. But if you don't get
there with any of these women, are you gonna just say, hey,
I'd still like to date at the end of this.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
I don't know. Okay, Mel, He's really not good at this,
is he?

Speaker 4 (07:19):
He's so frustrating, right, Riley.

Speaker 10 (07:22):
He's very frustrating. He can't give an answer last night
to any of the any of the daughters or the
sons of the Home of the Women. He just could
not give an answer a straight one.

Speaker 13 (07:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (07:32):
Anytime I'm reading a story about the Golden Bachelor on
social it's always about Mel and how he was a
bad choice.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Do you agree, Ry?

Speaker 12 (07:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:41):
I agree.

Speaker 10 (07:42):
I think the women are totally fine. I just think
he I don't know what they see in him personally.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Yeah, he's a dud.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
He seems like just a flat tire.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Oh he's a wet noodle.

Speaker 10 (07:52):
What noodley?

Speaker 2 (07:55):
Is he?

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Douchey?

Speaker 10 (07:59):
I think Gary the King of douche.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Well, he's another guy that took down the entire franchise.
But okay, so Cindy is in the final two and
at Lisa, her daughter went.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
At it same thing.

Speaker 14 (08:10):
Can you see yourself in twenty years maybe sitting on
a rocking chair, maybe doing something active.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Sure, I'm in a rocking chair. I won't be in
a rocking chair all right.

Speaker 7 (08:18):
On the motorcycle or climbing a mountain.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
With her potentially.

Speaker 15 (08:25):
Potentially potentially Yes, of course I'm still getting to know her.

Speaker 12 (08:30):
But it seems like Mel maybe either a little bit
unsure or a little bit tight lipped about how much
he maybe loves my mom.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Is kind of sees the future with my mom.

Speaker 12 (08:39):
I don't think that he really gave a lot of
straight answers.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And nobody seems to like melho.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
No and Riley, do you see an engagement here or
not so much?

Speaker 10 (08:51):
Well, I feel like the Golden seasons are always gonna
endit an engagement because I mean, let's face it, there's
not too much time. I don't mean that like in
like a like an offensive way to me.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, yeah, I think you did indirectly, but.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
A right, I don't.

Speaker 10 (09:08):
I think I don't. I see it ending in engagement,
but I don't know if it's gonna last, just not
because of a woman, because of Mel.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
Well, I'll tell you one thing Mel's not going to
be doing in twenty years is riding a dirt bike. Okay,
you can see him hobbling around on the set already
current day. Yeah, so something's going on with Mel with
the hobble.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
What's the weird thing? Was it, Cindy?

Speaker 6 (09:32):
You were telling me at least told the weird story
about a former Debbie.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh, it was kind of heart wrenching and it was shocking.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Did you get that one, Riley?

Speaker 10 (09:42):
What story was it?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Debbie? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
The boyfriend?

Speaker 10 (09:46):
Oh yeah, because she's never really open up about because
she's never been married before. I felt I kind of
felt bad that she was removed last night, but I
never saw it working because with Debbie I kind of
felt like that my story with Debbie is kind of
like my story with Pia. Like you think that you
want something, but then you're always expecting more, and then

(10:08):
once you get to something, you're always just seeing there's
something missing.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Did you say Pie?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:15):
You mean the dish.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, I was so confusing.

Speaker 10 (10:21):
I would compare Debbie's relationship with Mel as my relationship
with PIEA.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, all right, okay, we're not really aware of your
relationship with Pie. But I guess that's a good one.

Speaker 10 (10:32):
You know, it's just there's something missing.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
But I think it was really insensitive for Debbie to
tell the story about her former boyfriend when she broke
up with him, he committed suicide.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I think that was kind of insensitive to the guy's
day list.

Speaker 10 (10:47):
That was an off off camera conversation.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Mmmm.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yeah, Mel is an unlikable schmo.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Bring back Jerry with the hitch.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
I agree. I actually like Jerry more than well, I'm
not saying something, Well.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
What's better a hitch or a hobble? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I mean you like a little with noodle.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Okay, Riley, down to the final two. You're still going
with Peg on this.

Speaker 10 (11:13):
I'm going with Peg. Pegan stiff, Mel We're gonna call
him Pagan stiff Mill all the.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Way to the end, all right, and it'll go nowhere.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
God. Riley nails it every time. Yeah, you always right
from the beginning, kind of has the top pick.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, yeah, he's he's been on a good streak.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
Week one he said, peg Yeah, and Peg is in
the final two. Okay, thank you Riley, Thanks Gay telling
it how it is.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight Studios.

Speaker 4 (11:37):
We're back with a Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
We've got a pair of tickets for the completely sold
out to jingle Ball coming to the gd Garden December fourteenth.
That Sharon, of course, is the headliner. I need a
caller twenty five at six one seven, nine eight. The
keyword is going to be teeth. Teeth is the keyword.
Caller twenty five six one seven on one one o

(12:01):
eight Lisa.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy Godsend.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (12:08):
Celtics lost the season opener last night, one seventeen one sixteen.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Very close game. They lost to the Sixers.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
They blew a thirteen point lead, missed a couple of
easy shots in the final seconds. They basically slowed down
in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brown here.

Speaker 8 (12:24):
No, we slowed down a little bit. Maybe it was
a little fatigue. I don't know first game, but we
definitely want to keep our pace in the fourth quarter.
I'm one of the believers that you know fourth quarter,
you know, I know everybody thinks so you got to
slow down and everything, But why we can keep playing fast.
So we just turned the ball over too much. I
think in the fourth that was a difference if you
if you're playing like that, you still got to take

(12:46):
care of the ball.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Jaylen Brown did play. He had twenty five points on
the night. Celt's going to play the Knicks in New
York tomorrow night. Bruins have lost five games in a row.
They'll play the Ducks tonight in the TV Garden Viteings
and the Chargers or the Thursday night football game tonight.
And then there's NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell standing by his

(13:08):
decision to have Bad Bunny do the Super Bowl halftime show.

Speaker 15 (13:13):
He's one of the leading and most popular entertainers in
the world. That's what we try to achieve. It's an
important stage for us. It's an important element to the
entertainment value.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
It's carefully thought through.

Speaker 15 (13:29):
I would say that I'm not sure we've ever selected
an artist where we didn't have some blowback system. It's
pretty hard to do it when you have literally hundreds
of millions of people that are watching. But we're confidence
it's going to be a great show.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I think it's going to be an outstanding halftime show.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
You see there's a petition to replace Bad Bunny with
George Straight.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I've seen it and I've tried to ignore it.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah, I'm just going to watch the show. I mean,
it'll be fine. It's going to be fun.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
And dancy, totally dancy.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
I think people are going to be surprised how much
they like it.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
It's a halftime show. It's supposed to be entertaining. Do
you not think it's going to be entertaining Bad Bunny?
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, you're going to be too much outrage in the world.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
But everything right, I mean, they're open to Like it's
open season. There's always going to be criticism.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
Always, every single year there has been. Barstool Sports boss
Dave Portnoy is coming out with the book Cancel Me
if you Can. It's coming out in June of next year.
Let's face it, he's got a great story. Started a
paper route twenty two years ago, turned it into an
empire Barstool Sports, sold it for six hundred million, and

(14:36):
bought it back for a dollar. Remember he told that
story to his Barstool team.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
We're no longer a pan company.

Speaker 15 (14:43):
We've gone separate ways.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I bought it back Barstools, so I own all of
it them.

Speaker 16 (14:48):
Oh, lastly, we can kind of looking at him because
they had an opportunity with end it ended up being
like really good for us and probably saw we want
to be anywhere and anyways, excuse me, where we can
go back to just being ourselves.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
You don't have to worry about you know what we say,
what we do. I have no plans.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Ever to sell Barspoon again.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
I've already you know, made the money that needs to make.

Speaker 17 (15:19):
A place where I want to be, like the best
content on the internet.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Lisa, this is a kid from Swampskot. I'm thinking great
guests for the book.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
Yeah, I saw the post yesterday. I follow him. I'm
a huge fan of his. So it's his story, his way, unapologetic, unfiltered,
true to form, and I'm going to try and get
him for Lisa's book club.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Gus, Okay, we're going to be making calls. And there's
some controversy around him too. I mean there's controversy around
everything and everyone.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, but I feel like everyone at that his stature
has some controversy around them. Yes, go to Nantucket Least.
He has a house there. He spends summers there.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Oh, we could do a book club on Nantucket.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeap, and you can meet Miss Peaches, yes, the dog.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Maybe we'll make it a charity event for rescue dogs.

attention to the rescue dog business, which was really good.

Big ball.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Yeah, Ed Sharon our jingle ball headliner a bunch of
third graders he went to school. They have a celebrity
substitute series this I mean Ed Sharon just I'd love
to know how he makes up his mind on where
he's going one day to the next and what he's doing. Anyway,
they call it their celebrity series and using sounds all

(16:39):
around them. Ed Shearon created a song about brushing teeth.

You know, we've got it's you're in backstage at jingle Ball.
We're going to say, based on what you're seeing here
at jingle Ball, what would the sound sound like? And
we get him to create a song backstage? How cool
would that be?

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Very claw?

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I bet he could. Of course he could grab the
Christmas tree stop shaking it some ornaments.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, he's headlining at the jingle Ball. He's coming into
town for the big show. And so is a caller

talk to producer Riley. Congrats on the jingle Ball tickets
and good luck on the and Jelly roll on a
podcast this week saying that one of his biggest regrets

(18:07):
of his whole life is having cheated on his wife.

Speaker 18 (18:11):
One of the worst moments of my adulthood was when
I had an affair on my wife, because it was
the first time that I was like, I really can't
get this right at all, Like, I know, I'm in
love with this woman, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Like it was just such a.

Speaker 18 (18:27):
Like it just really really really blew me back, and
I did a lot of work to repair that relationship,
you know what I mean. Like the repair has been special. Man,
We're stronger than we could have ever been. And I
wish our story would have went in the way that
it never had an affair. And I'm in no way

(18:47):
glad it happened. But man, I'm proud of who we
are today.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, still together and even stronger.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
I found that revelation to be shocking that he stepped
out on Bunny.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Any questions, Bill, Why are you asking me if I
have questions? Because you have a little look on your face.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
No, I think it's so jelly roll to be so honest.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
I know, And the fact that they were able to
work it out and they seem stronger than ever.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Is very cool.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yeah, he's a cool guy.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Cool story looks great too, down two hundred pounds. He
was in the airport this week. He's like unrecognizable. He's skinny, skinny.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Would you recognize him now? Justin if you passed him
at the airport, it's the face tats Yeah, oh good,
point good. Hey.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
Miley Cyrus is recording a song for the new Avatar
movie called Fire and Ash. She comes out in November fourteenth.
It's called Dream as One. When she announced she wasn't
going to tour ever, it was a pretty good decision.
I don't think she had to or has to. All
of these projects she's choosing I think are perfect.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Anyway. The full soundtrack comes out to December twelve. So
happened she lost.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
Her home to fire and had to rebuild back in
twenty eighteen. So if she's saying now, she gets to
turn that experience into musical medicine, meaning that song, of course.
And there's a new Eddie Murphy documentary on the way.
It's called Being Eddie. The first trailer dropped yesterday.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I started so young.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Eddie was right out of high school, but he was
just fearless, my stuff took off the course. They'd never
seen a young black person take charge.

Speaker 8 (20:24):
You share now.

Speaker 18 (20:26):
He had the number one movie, comedy special and pop song.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
That was unprecedented. He's like a miracle from stand up
comic to big screen sexy book. That's what they said.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
I didn't say it.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's going to be a good one.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Anyone know what. The number one single was.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Ooh Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Party All the Time nineteen eighty five, written by Rick James.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Yet produced. We played it a lot on Kiss Did You?

Speaker 17 (20:51):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
We did.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
And let's face it, Eddie Murphy has really kept his
private life private. So this documentary is going to be good.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
It comes out in November.

Speaker 6 (20:59):
Twelfth, and there's a documentary coming out on Martin Scorsese.
It's coming to Apple TV. Joe Peshy, who's played in
so many Scorsese films, refuse to be interviewed, refused to
be involved, apparently didn't want to relive any of it.
Sleazy characters in the movies. That doesn't mean we won't
justin how funny?

Speaker 1 (21:20):
How I mean funny?

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Like I'm a clown, I am USh you, I make
you laugh.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
I'm here to use you. What do you mean funny, funny?

Speaker 5 (21:27):
How How am I funny?

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I'm a little bummed about this, I'll be honest. I'd
like to hear hear him talk about the characters. I guess, well,
I guess it's because they're based on real people that
he knew.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Where has he been?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
He like stepped away. He's a bad time, doesn't really
act anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
But you don't see him anywhere doing anything.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
It's one thing to step away from the industry, but
to disappear.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
He did do the movie with Scorsese a few years ago,
with Robertson Arrow. Remember when they aged them all right, right,
you know, midn't look younger and then old they're obviously
they're older. Did look younger. But yeah, I a little
bummed on this. I was looking forward to that. The Irishman,
The Irishman, Thank you, Lisa.

Speaker 6 (22:03):
So many funny characters. It's sleazy but funny to us.
You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, they're legendary characters. Yeah, it's too bad.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Anyway, we brought you by the ninety nine.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
You can head into the ninety nine restaurant for hot
hearty helpings, dig into the homestyle chicken pot pie with
the tons of chicken flaky crust, or warm your belly
with the classic of Yankee pot roast loaded with slow
simmered beef.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
So grab your friends, grab the family, go on in.
You gotta love the nines and there you go.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
You stink Billy and Lisa every morning.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Just want to wait, Okay, I want to talk about
a Halloween.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
So I was out walking the dog the last couple
of nights, right, And when I'm walking the dog, I'm
going through the neighborhood and I can't help but notice
it seems that this year the Halloween decorations are over
the top. And I gotta tell you something, I don't mind.
I really like it.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
They're over the top, and they're themed, which is there's
one house in Phoenix where it's a Swifties Delight. It
is all Taylor Swift Life of a show Girl has
been added. They do bracelet making, they do all this
fun stuff. So then we started talking like is this
fun for people or is it not so much fun

(23:17):
for people?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I mean, it's definitely over the top. Every year, I
feel like it's crazier and crazier. I'm in Salem, New Hampshire,
and I've seen so many houses with all the giant skeletons.
I mean, they go all out.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
But if you live next door to that, I guess
that's what we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's the issue. I don't have any craziness next to me,
but down the street as a house, they must have
spent one hundred grande on the house. No, they have
all the decorations on the front lawn, but then the
windows are done and then the roof is done too well.

Speaker 6 (23:48):
Two or three blocks down the street from us, justin
I keep you need to send you pictures. I want
to take pictures in the night because this particular house
this year has at least thirteen of the those giant skeletons.
But they've got all kinds of new stuff too. It's amazing,
and I keep meaning to send you a picture. And again,
Lisa made a good point off the air earlier this morning.

(24:09):
It's okay with Halloween because it come comes down after Halloween.
It's not like Christmas decorations that are up for ever.

Speaker 5 (24:16):
So but my question is do the Halloween houses do
they roll into Christmas in the same way.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Well, I will say that giant skeletons, it's very common
to leave them up year round and then you know,
decorate them for the different holidays. So you're probably gonna
see some skeletons with a Santa hat.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Ah. Yeah, why take them down? Just put some Santa
stuff on.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
By the way, that's the reason I really didn't want
to get the giant skeleton from that. My wife wanted
it would never come down. Yeah, that would be like
it would be like chickens around.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Well, they're so hard to put up, right an anchor, I.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Guess, but you just leave them up.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
There's right across the street from us, and I was
waiting for this guy to put his Halloween stuff up
because I look forward to it every year. He has
a giant witch. When I tell you you, it's three
stories high and like lit. They've got a fire under
the witch's dress and it burns, burns at night.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
And I'm telling you, I enjoy that. Halloween decorations.

Speaker 14 (25:10):
I love any type of decorations. I think it's fun.
And I think about when I was and I loved
seeing Christmas life and Halloween decorations makes everything way more
festive because the world is so miserable now and everyone sucks.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 14 (25:27):
There's a fine line between being festive and it being obnoxious.
You got to take other people into consideration with noises
and bright lights and all of that.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Well, it's for the kids too.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
If you want to take your kids to walk around
the neighborhood, you don't even have to get in the car.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
And it's so creative. Like that's what I love the most.
I'm like, wow, that's so cool. We even saw one recently.
One of our listeners sent us a Jordan Hudson Bill
Belichick themed front house.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
I saw that, boy, that is scary.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I think yeah, Bill had a Rip jersey on on
the rip sweatshirt on.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Very creative.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
It is creative.

Speaker 19 (26:01):
My parents' neighborhood growing up never did any sort of
decorations for Halloween, even for like Christmas. It was like
light lights on the bushes and candles in the windows.
Now it's like this new generation of families is having
a full fledged competition for who can have this Booki's house.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
There's one house with three of the twelve foot skeletons.
There's one house with like life size skeletons climbing up
the windows. There's this other house with this like cursed
witch that hangs in a tree.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's barkers.

Speaker 9 (26:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
Charlestown has gotten out of control too, especially around the
Bunker Hill monuments, some of the townhouses and brownstones there.
And by the way, Pierce six, the restaurant in Charlestown.
Just notice the other day they have these giant octopus tentacles,
like giant hanging over the side of the restaurant. I
didn't know what was going on until it hit me.
I said, Oh, it's for Halloween.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, see, that's cool. I like that, But I think
about the people that live next door to some of
these houses, not only the lights of you know, their
allow and the sounds, but the people that come to
look at the house. Yeah. Now you have traffic, people stopping.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
In your neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You can get it. Yeah, random people.

Speaker 11 (27:08):
I wish I got trigger treaters.

Speaker 20 (27:10):
We don't get any on our street. But I think
the Halloween lights and the over the topness is a
bit much for me.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
All right, Well a little Halloween grinch there.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
What the good news is, it's your home. You do
whatever you want. Yeah, nobody gets hurt. And again, kids
can walk around the neighborhood at night and say, oh,
look at.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
That there's a house in my neighborhood that has a
big Halloween party for all the kids. My son goes
this Saturday actually, and they go all out and they
build their own haunted house so they have all the
decorations and then on their party. Can you go there?
They have a big event and it's legit a haunted house.
You can walk through, so it's open to the public.
Anyone can go walk through to get invited. But it's
for the neighborhood kids in the neighborhood. I mean, that's fun.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
It is. Halloween is so much fun.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. So it's good. I
mean a lot of it's going to start this weekend,
a lot of the parties, a lot of the uh,
you know, festivities.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
Hosting the annual Wicked Night ball at the Salem Waterfront Hotel.
That's coming Saturday night. Is that usually sold on? You
can check with the hotel see if there are any
tickets left. It's this coming Saturday night, Wicked Night.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
All right. You can hang out with Bill, who's a mosquito.

Speaker 6 (28:13):
Swater on the human mosquito swater. My wife is the
giant mosquito.

Speaker 13 (28:19):
Ah.

Speaker 21 (28:19):
Okay, now, It's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Morning, so at some point we likely would have started
talking about Halloween decorations with Halloween fast approaching, but it
really kicked off the conversation this morning least when we
saw the Phoenix, Arizona House in a Taylor Swift themed
decorative thing over.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
The top hashtag Taylor's Halloween House Phoenix Life of a
Show Gooul is one of the most popular little vignettes
in the front of the house, and this person actually
invites people to come to the neighborhood and see it.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Think Taylor should go.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
I think she should run or at least like say
something on social about it, or like the post.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Taylor could be making her way to Lisa's town of Milton.
What here's a hot tip that's just in.

Speaker 20 (29:07):
There's a house in Milton, Lisa. You need to drive
by that. They dress up all the skeletons as Taylor
Swift in all her errors. They also have Travis and
Jason Kelsey sitting at like a table for their podcasts,
but it's all the different errors of Taylor Swift with

(29:28):
different skeletons.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
It's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, So they are doing Phoenix in Milton.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
Yeah, see, I'd like this, you know, people getting creative.
I mean these are crazy times, right, everything's crazy, So
to do something that's fun it is.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I think it's great.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (29:43):
I find it odd for people who decorate for Halloween
who don't have children.

Speaker 19 (29:49):
There's a guy who lives in my neighborhood who lives in.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
This huge house, completely alone, but he decorates his house
for Halloween. What's up with that?

Speaker 6 (29:56):
Well, that happens a lot, but it's because a lot
of these guys retired. You know, they're not going to
work every day and they just want something to do
to entertain themselves and the neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I see that a lot too.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, well, you love the kids.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Can you make some noise? Let them know you their kids? Samantha?
Can I get a what way?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
You know what I mean? People go to Disney without kids?

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Or do you think Samantha is right now?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
She's traumatized from our kids Top thirty experience.

Speaker 17 (30:27):
So I've set up my Halloween decorations this year. It's
a bunch of cardboard cutouts life size, the main one
being Billy kind of hiding behind bushes, and the rest
of them being a Little League game being played that
he was very much enjoying watching.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, yeah, Billy's a big fan of the Little League
World Series. Why do I seem to print so creepy?
I don't know, I don't know. Are you the guy
that the odwall? You have kids, but you know they
don't live with you. You could be the odd guy. You
don't decorate for Halloween?

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Right, No, and we don't get trick or treaters.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
You know, we're in a you know, you're in a building,
historical schoolhouse, and you know nobody can get in the building.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
So it's oh, so you're in Okay? So are you
in Medford or Charlestown right now?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Are you still in Charlestown?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Okay?

Speaker 21 (31:12):
Aaron from phil Rica. My son goes to Charlestown every
year for Halloween because that's where his dad is from.
They shut down all the roads around the monument and
the training field and they just gear it towards kids
and it's amazing.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Honestly, anybody who can get.

Speaker 21 (31:29):
Their should go.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
They go.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Bill.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, Charlestown gets bigger with it every single year. This
year is really.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Over the top.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
Just head for the Bunker Hill monument that neighborhood with
all the Brownstones is decorated beautifully. My friend's Charlie and Brook,
their house is outstanding.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
In Pair six you said right, Pair six.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Which they owned in Charlestown, I'm telling you giant. I
didn't know what it was.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
Giant octopus tentacles hanging down the signs of the restaurant
Pier six.

Speaker 20 (31:58):
So the owner of Pier six also lives across.

Speaker 19 (32:02):
From that Bunger Hill monument and they have those syntentacals,
so look out for that.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, Charlie and Brook, Yeah, pretty cool.

Speaker 11 (32:10):
Every year I take my son to Spirit Halloween. It's
a tradition.

Speaker 14 (32:15):
We have three large animatronics in our collection.

Speaker 11 (32:19):
It's so much fun. Every year we host a Halloween party.
The kids love it and as long as.

Speaker 13 (32:25):
He brings me straight a's, we'll continue with our animatronic collection.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah. Spirit Halloween is a place. I know you probably
haven't been in there recently. I went to one in Salem,
New Hampshire. It is unbelievable. In there, they have a
whole display in the middle like you can walk in.
They have giant animatronics everywhere.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Great for kids, it's really great.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
They can run around. I mean I put the mask
on and my daughter laying out this store screaming.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
But well throughout New England there are so many cool
places you can go to celebrate Halloween.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
I mean Salem, Yeah, it's here.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
You've got Salem, now, you've got Charlestown. You obviously have
Beacon Hill in the back bay.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
Oh God, legendary.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
Bring the kids into Boston and go to Charlestown and
then go to Beacon Hill and all the different mazes.

Speaker 6 (33:11):
It farms all over New England and hallowe It. It's amazing,
so many places to go.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
New England really is the Halloween spot if you think about.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
It, I think, so we'll Salem is the Halloween capital
of the world.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I think yep.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
So don't get me wrong.

Speaker 11 (33:22):
I love the decorating.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
I think it's super fun.

Speaker 13 (33:25):
My kids love it.

Speaker 11 (33:26):
We like to go around and look at them.

Speaker 13 (33:28):
But the Halloween ones sometimes can be a bit obnoxious.
They're very shrove lighty, and as someone who lives next
door to someone who goes all out, it is really
distracting when watching Survivor and every little creek or crevice
of a window that doesn't have a cover on. It
is Strobe lighting in every room of my house.

Speaker 6 (33:49):
Yeah, I want to hear from some of the people
who hate the neighbor because the neighbor.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Is one of those over the top decorators.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Well, strob lights, got to know that's going on. The
Strobe lights are very of knock. Yeah, I went through.
I went to Screenfest at Canoby last weekend and the
coolest part of one of the haunted houses was the
Strobe light and I remember thinking like, well, this is
cool to walk through for two seconds.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Never mind if it's right next to you twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Yeah, it's like NonStop. Well, Billy and Lisa kiss.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
So justin the calls and the talkbacks are still coming
in on Halloween decorations. We've got somebody on the phone
right now, Linda, Good morning.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Good morning. How's everyone this morning.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
We're good.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
What's your story around Halloween?

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Linda.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
I live in Easton, which is near Foxborough, Mansfield, and
I've lived in the neighborhood for thirty years. And now
we have kids that have kids that are my kids age.

Speaker 11 (34:43):
And they have a whole entire house that these younger
kids bring the screen down, so the whole entire set
of the house is covered and they have kids Halloween
movies playing the whole entire night, and they have like
thirty five forty chairs for the little kids to sit
if they get tired. And then they have a whole

(35:04):
setup of like a cauldron in the middle where it
can where the kids get their candy. And then they
have a whole bar.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
Setup that's made like an adult cauldron and you can
have beer and wine.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
That sounds odd.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I want to move to Easton.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
It is so cool. We have people that like now
come from all different places and it's kind of a
secluded neighborhood, so like you can park your cars down
the road and then kind of walk into the neighborhood.
There's like thirty five forty houses and it's it's pretty
it's pretty.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Special, Linda, are we talking about a cash bar?

Speaker 7 (35:42):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (35:42):
No, no cash, but they talked about doing something this
year as a cash bar, and they're deciding on a
charity that they're going to support for. So do you
want to come down and have a beer or a
glass of wine? You know it'll go to a good charity.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
But green beer and wine.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Listening, Yeah, beer and wine. Well, we have Shoveltown Brewery
in our town and it's a big local brewery here,
and so I don't know. There may be some coordination
with them, and they may come and kind of do
a little boothbo who knows.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Well, Linda, we're all coming. We're going to park in
your driveway.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
All right, go ahead, I'll give it my address later.

Speaker 11 (36:20):
Have a good night, got a good day, everybody.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
You do, Yeah, don't say it on the air. Everyone
will be there showing up to Linda's neighborhood.

Speaker 22 (36:27):
My son and I love Naya. Before Christmas and of
course I got the giant Jack Skellington animatronic for my
friend Lawn from Home Depot. But we saw on Spirit
Halloween website that they had a tombstone of the dog
Zero that barks when you walk by and it glows.
I went to five different Spirit Halloweens and couldn't fined it.
So we drove an hour and a half from Beverly

(36:47):
to Pullum, New Hampshire to get that.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
And it's awesome. Yeah, every year there's the item you
can't get.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Last year it was with a giant skeletons. Yes, you
can get them now, I believe I get dms all
the time, and I'm like, please, don't me and don't
DM my wife. Oh, they love to DM my wife
on things. Now she's dealing with. No, you don't even know.
It's the whole thing. I haven't even talked about this.
The chickens about the camper.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Oh, the camper.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
But she wanted the camper.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, what's the update on the camper?

Speaker 2 (37:15):
This person, I don't know who they are, is a
listener is dming my wife who wants to give her
a camper, give it or sell it. I don't know
what it is. And I'm like, no, I'm not getting
a camper.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Ray Jen pulls up with the camper.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
I'm like, there's nothing you can do about it. Once
she drives up to the house in the camper, you
own it.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. They want their trash to come.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
That's exactly why you're doing them the favor.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
That's what it is. It's not happening.
