I got hit really hard. I was in Danvers, so
on my way to host Nosher Magazine's Bonds Gallop, which,
by the way, I'll talk about in a second. But
on my way. I got there a little bit early,
and uh, I said, I remembered, oh h, there's a
car wash right up the street. I have some time,
So I went to the car wash. You're ready for this,
I pulled into the car wash. The sun was shining.

(02:24):
It was beautiful, little human, but the sun was shining.
I came out the other end and it was a monsoon.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Wow, what a waste of a car wash.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Twenty bucks I'll never see again.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like that, it happened, just like that.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
The car wash guy might have been looking at this idiot.
He knew it was coming because there was no one
else even near the car wash, right, I was the
only car within two miles.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Well, because they could see the giant cloud yeah, clouds.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
The sky before was insane.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yes, I never yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Oh man, he saw you coming. Look at this sucker.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh God. So anyway, this party, and they do it
every year Northshrom magazine shout out. They do a fabulous job.
Years ago. It started in Newburyport, but it was at
the Danversport Yacht Club last night. And they award businesses
and restaurants and nonprofits and foundations. More than fifty awards
are given out. By the way, I think I was

(03:19):
on the list. But that notwithstanding. The best party I've
ever seen I've ever been to. They must have had
four bands. There were two thousand people there. They had
tents outside, they had tents up on the deck. They
had four different ballrooms, all packed, all with their own
live band, and they had more than twenty restaurants set

(03:42):
up in serving food. Andy Husbands was there with smoke shop.
Karma was set up. I had some lovely sushi. But
I'm telling you the party was outstanding. There was one
band that was so good they blew my mind. I'm
not sure of their name. I think it might have
been Bos. If you look it.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Upsos all it sounds like quite the party.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
It was quite quite the party. I ran into Kim Carrigan,
you know Kim Carragan, and a lot of people I
haven't seen in years. Yeah, it's all in north Shore
people and north shore businesses and or restaurants. But shout
out to everybody. Was a lot of fun last night.
Did you find the band.

Speaker 11 (07:56):

to have great set. Right, if I have one bad set,
it's it's gonna stick. If I do okay, after the
party I'm gonna walk up to you guys as a

Speaker 5 (08:18):
It's such a laugh from him that I get like
a headache because I'm laughing.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
So h It's almost like you don't need anything else
when he's done.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
Yeah, he did last year over Bill burr In every year,
it never fails. Billy and I can't look at each
other when he's on. No, we can we lose breathe. Yeah,
we can't breathe. We have to look straight at him.
We can't look at each other.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Something else about comics come home as they always have newcomers.
I don't know if you remember Alec Flynn. He's from Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
He was there last year and he also came into
the studios here. We got a clip. I mean, I
just kind of went out there and tried to do
my best.

Speaker 12 (08:56):
I was just it was a very nice coming home
moment for for everybody.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
I mean, my friends with that were in the crowd
and my family.

Speaker 12 (09:02):
I think my buddies even remember coming to watch me
in Cambridge when they'd have these little comedy composes, Yes,
and now to be able to, like, you know, give
him a couple backstage passes for the for the after party.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
I think they were fired a moment.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Were you nervous at all?

Speaker 12 (09:16):
I mean again, I was just kind of like, you
know what, Bill Bearr's on the line up, Ronnie Chang.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
These are all people that like I grew up looking
up to. So at the end of the day, if
I bomb, they'll forget about me. It's such a great event.
And don't forget Dennis Leary hosts. He has his own band.
He opens the show. It's just electric and Conan O'Brien
is coming home. He's from Brooklyn, Brookline And speaking of Conan,
there is I don't know if you saw this yet.

(09:41):
There's a mysterious sign that was just put up next
to the Zakim Bridge and nobody knows who put it
there and what it's for. It looks very official. It's
right at the mouth of the Zakam And strangely though,
the sign is a quote from Conan O'Brien.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
Yeah, it's from during COVID. He was doing his show
at home and it's obscene, right, there's a swear in it,
which is kind of blanked out in yeah yeah, but
it basically says the bridge looks like crap. Oh yeah.
Because Cohenen's from here, he didn't grow up with the
zaykamb so he was kind of like doing a bit
about the bridge and how bad it looked.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
And by the way, speaking of the bridge, in two
thousand and two, that's when they opened the Zakon Bridge.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Oh, I didn't know that I was there.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Oh, because Bruce Springsteen performed on the bridge for the opening.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
I think we have a report. Yeah, let's go to
WBZ two thousand and two.

Speaker 13 (10:37):
The Zakon Bridge saw its first traffic today and its
first gridlock. A quarter of a million people showed up
for today's free tours. You can see the line wrapped
around the Fleet Center down to the Tip O'Neil building.
The Zakon Bridge is considered by many to be an
engineering marvel. The bridge is the widest cable stayed bridge
in the world. It cost eighty six point four million

(10:58):
dollars to build.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
What a day that was. Picture Bruce Springsteen comes walking
over the bridge carrying his acoustical guitar and he just
sits and performs to.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
It and that was two thousand and two.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah, there was like a million people there. It was crazy.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
I actually love the bridge. I think the bridge is beautiful,
lights up, lights up beautifully at night.

Speaker 5 (11:15):
A lot of copycat bridges all over the country because
of it.

Speaker 9 (11:18):
Can I ask you, guys, what how did you drive
before there?

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Because the Oh that's a good question. Wasn't the highway
under yes?

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Oh god, I'm trying to think.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
No, I don't know, leave.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
Us a talk bag.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
It was post Big dig I'm guessing right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
Yeah, So the coning quote says, this bridge looks like
blank that's being held up by wire.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
It was new at the time, definitely new engineering.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
But now, yeah, I love it.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Have you've seen the Charlestown Bridge. It's finally done after
years and that lights up beautifully. I think it's called
the Garden. The Bill Russell Russell Bridge lights up beautifully.
Uh and again Comics Come Home November eighth, The TD Garden.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
And we'll have Dennis on and cam on, and I'm

Speaker 3 (12:20):
From the Planet Fitness, Kiss one Away Studios. We're back
with the Villy and Lisa in the morning on Kiss Now.
The entertainment updates with a Billy copstep.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
So, Taylor's appearance on the Kelsey Brothers podcast the other
night set a record for the podcast. Taylor now the
most watched guest, beating out Jason Kelsey's wife, and she's
okay with it.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I love that.

Speaker 14 (12:47):
A day before it releases, we know that my interview
on the other podcast is about two it's going to
lose its long tenured reign as top watched episode, and
I will that littleheartedly.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
I love then.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
They're also supportive of each other.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
This is really a cool group of people.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
That's a cool family.

Speaker 15 (13:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
She had sixteen or ten million views on YouTube in
sixteen hours or.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Something crazy amazing.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
It broke the internet.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Meantime, Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt talks about the
impact Taylor Swift has had on not only the NFL,
but the Kansas City Chiefs and how much we can
expect to see Taylor during games.

Speaker 16 (13:28):
This Seeds relationship with Taylor has garnered a whole lot
more interest in the Chiefs. I have people come up
to me all the time and tell me thank you.
I'm like to thank you for what they tell me.
Thank you because my ten year old daughter now insists
on watching NFL football with me, and of course that's
largely because of Taylor Swift. They want to see her

(13:51):
at Chiefs games, cheering on Travis and cheering on the team.
So it's been fantastic and we love having her as
part of the Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Are we gonna see her at the games this season?

Speaker 4 (14:01):
You know, it's really hard to say.

Speaker 16 (14:04):
She's not nearly as busy as she was when she
was on tour, and as you mentioned earlier, she's a
great fan, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her
most of the games.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, it's incredible. There are people that will watch a
game now just waiting for another tailor shot up in
the box.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, I have to tell you, I'm one of those people.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
I get very excited when I see what she's wearing
and who's in the box with her.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
I find it so entertaining.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Wow, by the way, there's a new docu series about
the Kansas City Chiefs coming to ESPN, the ESPN Plus
Disney Plus and it's coming out. It's dropping August fourteenth,
so that should be interesting too. Sizza just announced as
the new artistic director for Vans.

Speaker 17 (14:46):
I can't whisper anymore, especially in places meant to soundprove me.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
We'll stretch your wings.

Speaker 17 (14:52):
As wide as the wind allows. What you called limitations
are opportunities to excavate your great Yes, maybe things weren't
follow apart, maybe things were shifting into place.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Yeah, you're salty.

Speaker 17 (15:06):
Its moments.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Let's see your sweetest grace.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Now we're Vans, the original skateboard sneakers.

Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yeah, they still are and they're very cool. And I've
got several pairs of Vans.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
So is it cool now to get Vans again?

Speaker 6 (15:21):
I think it's always been They never go out of style,
Okay never, and especially with collaborations like this with SISA
and only make them, you know, go up.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
You know how they don't go out of style.

Speaker 9 (15:30):
There's been a Van store like every mall that doesn't
go that doesn't go out of business.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, and it's always busy.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Yeah, like a lot of these things go out of business.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
Yeahs have a lot of skateboard clothing.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
I'm telling you that's like kid culture, Like that's what
all my kids wear.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Like it's and it's always consistent.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Yeah, says By the way, we'll co create exclusive collections.
And remember she did the Crocs ads back in twenty
twenty two and the movie Weapons expected to win the
box office again this weekend. The movie Nobody Too also
hits theaters this weekend. And don't forget the movie Americana
with Sidney Sweeney and Halsey is also in theaters. I

(16:12):
guess it's not getting great reviews. Didn't you tell me that.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Justin Olier online?

Speaker 4 (16:17):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Yeah, yeah, Hey it's Halsey.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I'm hanging with Billy Costa. I love Billy. Be nice.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
The Braintree American Little League team lost to South Carolina.
Boy did they lose thirteen nothing? The game had to
be called in the fourth because of the mercy rule.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
Oh yeah, they had that, my son.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yeah, I didn't know what. Yeah, I don't know what
I think about the mercy rule. Like, I guess it
depends on what end of the win or loss you're on,
because the mercy rule is kind of humiliating. Well, right,
why not let it play and maybe the team that's
getting crushed has a comeback a wild I don't know.

Speaker 6 (17:00):
Uh, yeah, I don't know. They can only score five
runs an inning, five to zero each inning and my sons.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
Well, don't forget. Earlier in this World Series, the brain
Tree team won with a mercy rule and at least
one of their first two games. But they're not out.
They're still in it double elimination. They'll play a must
win situation against Texas tomorrow. Yeah, they scored twenty five

(17:29):
runs in two games.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
They shout out a couple of teams. Yeah, it happens,
but they can come back.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
Okay, that's competition out there.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Well, they're coming up against some.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Come on, it's a big country.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
It is.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Plas like South Carolina. They can play all year round.

Speaker 6 (17:50):
Yeah and Texas.

Speaker 2 (17:51):

Just go to Ocean Edge dot com. There's still time
Ocean Edge dot com and there you go.

Speaker 19 (20:14):
If you're just out there for yourself.

Speaker 20 (20:16):
Go loselling here, Josh, I gotta play from R and.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Interesting, we're having a conversation that was actually triggered a
couple of minutes ago by this talkbacker.

Speaker 21 (20:31):
I have a question for you guys, what is the
dumbest excuse you've given to being late to work?

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yesterday?

Speaker 21 (20:41):
I was late for work by five minutes and I
messaged my boss that's saying I was stuck in a
dunkin Donus line and I couldn't get out because it's
there was no way to like move around the traffic. Yeah,
I heard myself after, and it sounds stupid.

Speaker 5 (20:57):
I have to say, though, I've been stuck in one
of those line, so I don't think it sounds stupid
at all.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Because you can't go anywhere.

Speaker 5 (21:03):
There's two people in front of you in three and
back and it's one lane, you can't get out, and
if they take too long to make the orders, like
you could be late.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
But you're still late exactly. But I don't think your
supervisor or boss cares you're in line at Duncan.

Speaker 6 (21:17):
Isn't it funny that our first, you know, thought is
to lie instead.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Of just being just like, yeah, I was running late,
I got.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
Up there, overslept.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Yeah, when you think of all the lies you've told
over the years, just about getting to work.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
Well when he was, you know, unfortunately late. One time
and she told some lie and then we found out
that her boyfriend had come over at like one in
the morning and she was busy.

Speaker 9 (21:41):
This is not the truth. He came over at nine, okay,
and I didn't. I just said I had a slow
starch in the morning.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
I didn't lie.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
No, we always know when your boyfriend clothed.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Well, again, that's that's a situation there, like just be honest.
But you feel silly when you oversleep or something dumb happens,
you want to make up a lie. Like one time
when I was younger, I had a job and I
was going to be late, and one of my friends
had a mom that was kind of younger and wanted
to be like one of us. Yeah, that mom she
would buy alcohol.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Oh, I called.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
The job pretending to be my mom.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Oh my god, that's the next level. Yes, but everything
about him is next You noticed what ever happened to her.
I went to prep school. I did a PG year
at New Prep in Cambridge, and uh it was an
old school administration run by the Benchamal family and they
were harbored alumnus and anyway, at a certain time in

(22:41):
the morning, they would locked at the doors to every
part of the building, so that when you got there,
if you were late, you had to go in the
front door. And his desk, the president's desk, was right
inside the front door at the lobby. I was late
almost every other day, and I would always have a story.
But I'll remember the final one. I came in. He said, oh, Costa,
what I said? You're not going to believe this. I

(23:01):
know I've told you some stories before, but this is real.
You know my bedroom, you know, our flat is on
the third floor of a triple decker, and I have
a window right next to my bed, and my alarm
clock sits on the window sill. And it was a
hot night, and you know what, do you know when
I rolled over something in the middle of the night,
I knock the alarm clock out the window. So when

(23:22):
the clock, when the alarm went off, it was three
stories down. I couldn't hear it every.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Time it went off.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Okay, Costa, you know what, just come in anytime you
want from now on, just keep walking right by my desk.
I've heard enough stories from me.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah you are, mister story. I have a story.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
I was actually called in sick to work when I
was working in pr and I was so embarrassed by
the reason I had gotten such a bad sunburn that
I was like, I can't tell them that I can't
come into work because I have a sunburn. It was
so embarrassing. I just said I was sick, but it
was like I was like bright red. It was horrible.
It was so embarrassing, Like how could I let myself
do that?

Speaker 19 (23:59):
Right?

Speaker 4 (24:00):
We should have had Justin's friend's mother, Collings.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
I could find her if anyone needs she's probably she's
probably done. Yeah, it was got Kate online one. She's
in Holbrook.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
All right, Kate and Holbrook. Good morning? How you doing?

Speaker 5 (24:14):
I'm good?

Speaker 22 (24:15):
How are you good morning?

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Give us one?

Speaker 22 (24:18):
So last year on Binko Jamayo, I was due to
be at work at seven pm, and at about six
twenty before I was due to leave my house, a
turkey crashed through my front window and there was glass
all over my living room. So I couldn't possibly leave
my husband to clean all that up. So I called
in because a turkey flew through.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
My window and it happened to a friend of mine
too recently. Really, oh yeah, crazy turkeys.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
But at least you didn't have to make up a story.
You had a legitimate reason.

Speaker 22 (24:50):
It was just it was a wacky one. It's not
when you hear very often.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Yeah, had the turkey makeout, It flew, it kind.

Speaker 22 (24:57):
Of ran around my house for a little while, and
then my husban and was able to sort of shutter
it towards the door and throw it out the front door.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Shoo shoe.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's a crazy story.

Speaker 23 (25:07):
Yeah, not that I called in with an excuse for
being late, because I never called.

Speaker 13 (25:11):
I just was late.

Speaker 24 (25:13):
But I would be late.

Speaker 23 (25:14):
For doing farmtown on Facebook. Back in the day, I
had to harvest my crops and get hired and go
harvest somebody's pineapples or something like that. So sometimes I
would be late for work because of toombtown on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
That's a game.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
That's a game. Oh yeah, you're like a fake farmer
like Facebook.

Speaker 9 (25:35):
You know, that's where candy Crush started. Candy Crush started
a Facebook game and now it's an app. But yeah,
so they have all those Facebook games.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
Do you still play Candy Crush?

Speaker 25 (25:43):
No?

Speaker 2 (25:44):
I deleted like a year ago because you guys were
yelling at me entering. It was commercial breaks, Okay, it
was very.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Now it's topic time with a Billy and Lisa.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
In the morning.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Okay, crazy stories, craziest lies you've told if you were
in fact late for work one morning or evening. Start
with a call from Doug. Good morning, Doug, give us one.

Speaker 15 (26:15):
Hey, good morning. I used to work for a pretty
famous coffee franchise and I was the four am shift,
and they weren't the best to us. And one day
I just I woke up at six am. I was
completely two hours late. So I ate the craft cakes
that were in the freezer that blow into my roommates.
So I had a reason to go to the hospital

(26:35):
to get a doctor's note because I'm allergic to shellfish.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Oh my god, intentionally poisoned yourself.

Speaker 15 (26:43):
Yeah, I mean I was twenty one, and I mean
we're doing that every weekend with vodka.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Anyways, Right, that's a good one, good way to start, Doug.
Let's go to Katie, Katie, where are you call it from? Katie?

Speaker 26 (26:57):
Good morning, Good morning, massa New Hamster.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Hey, Nashua, Okay, give us some juice.

Speaker 26 (27:04):
So I'm a nurse manager, so I've heard it all.
But we've had one of the nurses called out the
female with propatitis, which means nothing to the average person. However,
you don't have a prostate when you are a female.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Oh it's even scarier that this person worked at a hospital. Yeah,
I thought this existed in women.

Speaker 27 (27:26):
I used to live less than three minutes from the
school I taught at, and one night I was saying
out my boyfriend's out in the North End and hit
some major traffic due to an accident in the morning,
and having to reach out to my boss to tell
him I was going to be late because of traffic
when I actually live only three minutes away.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Some questions, Right.

Speaker 6 (27:47):
There's nothing like that failing when you're late and you
have to drive somewhere. Oh yeah, it's just the doom,
the embarrassment.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
And there's always that moment you would say, figures because
I'm in a hurry, there's traffic, there's never been here before.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Always an accident.

Speaker 6 (28:01):
Yeah, it happens every time.

Speaker 19 (28:03):
Good morning, morning, creup. This is Laurie from pennsylvani You
know one time I called in sick because I said
I poked myself in the eye putting on mascara, and
the h person just laughed at me.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
But seriously, my eye was leaking all day. Have a
great day weekend. Leaky eye. You don't want No, you
don't want it the office leaky I Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
Lisa mentioned she got lied about a sunburn.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
No, because it was so embarrassing. I could not go
into work for like two days.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Yeah, and good thing you didn't.

Speaker 20 (28:35):
One time.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
This is crazy.

Speaker 20 (28:36):
One time I actually had a very bad sunburn on
my feet.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
So I went into work.

Speaker 20 (28:41):
I worked all day, and then by the end of
the day I barely stands because I had like blisters
that were like three inches big on my foot and
I had like a bunch of them and it was awful.
And then I had to take off work for a week.
I had a doctor's note. I had to go to
the doctors like multiple times because my feet were so
messed up from the blisters and I couldn't. I literally

(29:03):
have a like lay in bed for a while.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
I was crazy. It was serious sunburn. He's losing layers
at Lisa. Two days later, were you peeling when you
went yeah.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
It was just it was awful. I'll never forget it.
It cured me of like not putting sunblock on back
in the day.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
You know, you're like, oh yeah, early twenti.

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Oh yeah. One time I got a sunburn and then
decided to shave all the hair on my body and
then went tanning. Oh it was Listen. I felt some
pain in my life, but never this bad. Was It
was really bad. Oh.

Speaker 28 (29:34):
I remember one time when I was in junior high
school and I told my mother that I couldn't go
to school because I couldn't get my hair so like
fall the way I wanted it to fall. And I
was at that age where you know, I probably like fourteen,
and I wanted to look fresh for the girls. I
just couldn't get it right. That morning, I told my
mother I'm not going to school, and she was looking
