Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Best a Billion Lisa in the Morning.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome into the Best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
It's producer Riley Happy's Saturday. It looks like we're having
one last day of summer weather before it gets a
little chillier next week September for you in New England. Okay, well,
let's get right into the number five moment, because we
had a debate that was sparked by something honestly so simple.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Cash. It shocks me how many people around me, in
my immediate circle, including this room, nobody carries cash.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Hey, I don't want to say I hate it. I
just I just don't do it. I never ever have cash.
When I do have cash, I go and deposit it
because I like being able to use it digitally Venmo, PayPal,
et cetera, et cetera.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
For a woman when we go get our nails done.
There are still places where people do not use Venmo,
so you have to carry cash in those places to
give a tip, or you have to go out, go
to the atm and walk back. So my question is
out there do some people just not leave a tip

(01:08):
if someone doesn't have Vemo at this point.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, and I bet people not carrying cash affects a
lot of people who count on getting cash.

Speaker 6 (01:15):
Well that's the thing, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Yeah, so they're running the risk that if they don't
sign up for one of these things, that they're not
going to get their tips.

Speaker 6 (01:23):
My wife Michelle doesn't carry cash.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, if she's going to do it, she needs to
tip someone, she'll take it from mine.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
So when my kids get cash, like in their birthday
cars and stuff like that. So sometimes Riley will have
like a stack of cash and if I need like
if I if I'm going to the now place from
the Piggy banks and I put a little, iou twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's gotten up to like two hundred in some cases.
He's like, Mom, you really need to pay me back.

Speaker 7 (01:48):
Tell me all those pliables you bought him every day.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
I bet he helps me to it.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I'm just not a cash guy. I will avoid places
that take only cash.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
I've recently transitioned into having cash because I'm trying to
like spend better, and I feel like if I have
the actual cash, I'll spend that and then it's like, Okay,
I didn't take from my credit card or like my
debit card. So it's more of almost like a budget
like thing. I actually am literally doing a challenge right
now where I have like a certain amount of money

(02:18):
until next week to see if I can like do
it with just cash. And I actually go to multiple
places that are cash only. There's an ice cream place
that I love that's there that's casually. There's a coffee
place I like that's cash only, and there's a subshop.

Speaker 8 (02:31):
I like this cash only.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
You know what happens sometimes too, the cash only places
they don't tell you in advance. Have you ever been
caught in a place that doesn't take cash but they
never said.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Or anything to do?

Speaker 9 (02:40):
What do you do?

Speaker 10 (02:41):
Well?

Speaker 5 (02:41):
When you when you get the bill, you're sitting there
and then you're like, I'll be right back. I have
to go to the ATM.

Speaker 7 (02:45):
Yeah, but they're smart enough that they double dip and
have an ATM.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
You know, like, oh my god.

Speaker 11 (02:54):
Yeah, there's like I mean, I don't I.

Speaker 7 (02:55):
Don't know if it's better or good to say it,
but Town Spot in Stoaton is cash only, but they
have an ATM. Well when pizza and Quincy is casually,
but they have an ATM for parties and Quincy is
casually with heaving atm.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
Well, they don't want to pay the credit card fees, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
But I learned something from you, Justin, because a lot
of times when I pull up to a red light,
you know when the people are asking for money, you know,
like veterans or whatever, homeless people, and I always try
to give money. Typically I have cash, but I said,
it dawned on me one day. I said, God, this
much really affect these people who stand on the street

(03:30):
corners and really expect but most people don't carry cash.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
And Justin, you told me that they take Venmo.

Speaker 9 (03:36):
A lot of them have Venmo cash app. How are
they paying for their cell phone? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Well, I mean I'm sure they have some form of income,
be it you know, disability or whatever it is. But
I was in Times Square semi recently with my wife,
and you know, in Times Square they hand you things
they want you to take. Yeah, people, And I told
my wife don't take anything. Ever, she had never been
to Times Square. She took a CD from a guy.
Oh and so as soon as she grabbed it, I
knew what was coming. We were surrounded by these people

(04:03):
demanding five dollars for the CD. And so I said
I don't have cash. We didn't have cash, and they said,
oh we take Venmo cash app wow, and they like
wouldn't let us go? I ended up Venmo and the
guy five bucks.

Speaker 9 (04:16):
Well, what do you.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Guys do when you go through the car wash, because
that's a perfect opportunity.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
That's only cash. Like the guys that when they drive
the car off, right, So that's another extent to give
them a tip.

Speaker 7 (04:27):
Yeah, if I don't have cash, I just put my
head down and I drive off. Oh my god, I'm
so I'm sorry you want me to do with the
towel guy?

Speaker 3 (04:37):
And then of Boston a lot, you know, shooting the
TV show, So I have to pull up the valet.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
It's a lot just to pay a car to get
the shoot another cash. So I if.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I know I'm going someplace like that and I don't
have cash, I'll stop in an ATM on my way
because I don't want to look like a cheapskate.

Speaker 9 (04:52):
Yeah. I have done that. I have stopped and gotten cash.

Speaker 12 (04:55):
I just prefer not to a twenty eight year old woman.
Whenever I have cash, which is rare. Girl math comes
into play. Yep, all of a sudden. That's free money. Yeah,
that's play money. I have ten dollars in my wallet
right now. I have no idea how I got it.
What am I gonna do? Maybe I'll buy a snack,
I know, Maybe.

Speaker 13 (05:14):
I'll get a wresting it.

Speaker 9 (05:16):
Maybe I'll go buy whatever I want for ten dollars.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
Like, that's that's free money.

Speaker 12 (05:20):
I'll go get an extra coffee today.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Like it's back to school time and there's a new
ban in the works. Hey, it's producer Riley from Billy
and Lisa in the Morning. And yeah, as back to
school is now upon us, some cities are actually trying
to ban students from having their cell phones at school.
So this bill has been passed in some cities already
and others are working to have it passed.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
It's number four.

Speaker 9 (05:42):
New Hampshire just passed it. They're doing it.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, there are other states like yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
So that means no phone's allowed in the school at
all in the building.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Well, Massachusetts would be bell to bell, which means not
even at recess or lunch. But some other states you
can have your phone at recess or lunch.

Speaker 14 (05:59):
Like, good morning, guys. I am a high school teacher
in Virginia and we just this year implemented a complete
ban on cell phones during the school day except for
at lunch, so they are not allowed to have them
at all. We're about three weeks in so far, so good,

(06:23):
so hopefully it continues.

Speaker 5 (06:26):
So the school cell phone ban, the people that want
it say it will improve academic performance and social skills,
it will address the mental health crisis, make schools safer,
and improve job satisfaction of educators.

Speaker 9 (06:41):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, so those are the people in favor of it.

Speaker 9 (06:44):
Yeah, I went to I had high school.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
I had cell phone in high school, and I actually
had a friend that she was doing so poorly in
school that her mom had Verizon shut her phone off
from seven forty five to two thirty so she would
focus in class.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
You can do that, Yeah, Well I don't know.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
I'm I mean, you still can, but yeah you can.
But the issue is now you have smartphones that connect
to Wi Fi, so they can do anything on the
Wi Fi if they have Wi Fi access. But yeah,
I think it's great because I mean, we had cell
phone in school obviously weren't We weren't like having I
had like a BlackBerry. But still, like there's a lot
of stuff you can do in the middle of classing
your cell phone, texting internet, and it's not healthy.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
It's treating, its cheating.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
It's not healthy.

Speaker 9 (07:24):
It's like distraction it is. I love it.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
I think it's per I think it's good.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
So here's the thing. What about the Apple watches? Right?

Speaker 6 (07:34):
It would have to include though it's right, I believe so.

Speaker 14 (07:37):
Sure.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, it's basically a cell phone on your wrist.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Right, I don't have an Apple Watch. But do you
need a phone to connect to it?

Speaker 5 (07:43):
You do, but you can have it in your backpack
a way, but you still have your watch.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
On and you can certain people can.

Speaker 7 (07:49):
So there's two things you can use it that your
phone has to be nearby, but you can pay extra
for it to work basically like your cell phone. If
you're not near your phone, like your phone could be
at home and you could have the watch on you
and everything would still work.

Speaker 9 (08:02):
Answer by the way, hit us up.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, isn't the big argument against the band? In case
of an emergency, you can't reach.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Your child, right, that's the biggest argument that people that
families will not get to talk to their their children.

Speaker 7 (08:16):
I like that's been we've been going to school for
debt for centuries where you can't talk to your kid,
and if something happens this protocol, you meet somewhere, there's
a gym, you know, you know, you know your cell phone,
your home number, know someone's cell phone in by heart.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
So this bill does require schools to come up with
a plan for students to be able to contact their
parents if need be.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
They form a line outside the main audit.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
And this is a part of the bill. So they've
already discussed that too, and that you know that part
of it.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's a tough one because you know, say they put
the cell phones somewhere safe so they don't have them
in the classroom and then God forbids, something happens.

Speaker 9 (08:56):
It happens like that. How would they We.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
Witnessed several times even recently.

Speaker 7 (09:02):
But then you have meeting spots, okay, and you know
we do drills like we did lockdown drills when I.

Speaker 9 (09:07):
Was in the smith.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, my kids have locked.

Speaker 7 (09:09):
We did lockdown drews and you had designating areas that
you met at and it's the same thing, and there
should be there will be someone there that can contact
your family. So I really this is I mean we're
just reinventing the wheel, like we already did all this stuff.
We're just re implementing having school be a place of learning.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
God, when I was in school, there were drills. It
always cracked.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
Yeah, yours of bomb drolls?

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Yeah, well not exactly, but now, but I have to say,
these lockdown drills are really good.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
And the kids know exactly what to do.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, and and I were totally prepared.

Speaker 15 (09:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
When when my son started school, I think it was
actually last year, he was in second grade, And when
he came home and told me about the drills they
had to do, I was.

Speaker 9 (09:53):
I was happy that they were being done. But also it's.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
Sad, sad it is, oh yeah, case of this. Yeah,
and I still do fire drills.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
Yes, would they ring the bell out of nowhere? Out
of left field?

Speaker 9 (10:05):
Of course?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
All right, the phones are lighting up here. Let's go
to Chris and New Hampshire online one.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Hey, Chris, what's your story? Are you a school teacher
or a parent? Parent? Okay, what are your thoughts on
a band?

Speaker 16 (10:19):
I didn't love it, of course, my kids don't love it.
I have a senior in high school, in an eighth grader.
We're in southern New Hampshire, so we just passed for
this school year. I don't like the fact that they
are not supposed to keep it on them at all.
I personally told my kids to keep it on them
in their backpacks and not use it in case of

(10:40):
an emergency. My daughter's a senior. They're frustrated because they
can't take the normal memory pictures they would in the halls.
They used to be able to be able to use
it in study hall, and during lunch they can't. She
came home and she's like, what are we supposed to do?
No during lunch. My husband and I were laughing. We're like,
maybe talk to each other.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's the point's boy. Yeah yeah, actually interesting.

Speaker 5 (11:04):
They may buy in a couple of months actually start
to like it.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, it's right.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, it's gonna take some getting used to Monday either
side of this because.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
We're all addicted to our phones.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
It's the best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
I'm producer Riley. Let's get right into number three. We
had a comedian call into the show on Friday because
he was performing at the Cut Live in Gloucester. Now,
this is a voice that a lot of people know,
but Billy remind them just in case.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
If you're not familiar with James Austin Johnson, well you
might know him as the President of the United States
on Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
That's right, it's me, hot Jack Trump.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
They finally got the body right, he rose from the
dead on the third day.

Speaker 9 (11:42):
I would have.

Speaker 15 (11:43):
Done it fast or possibly do elect.

Speaker 6 (11:45):
Anyone I started that. Oh thank you, it's me.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
Hi, I'm the problem.

Speaker 17 (11:50):
It's me.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
And by the way, James, I'm sure it's sold up.
And in case you want to check on tickets, you
just go to the Cutlive dot com.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
Good morning, James, you gotta baby.

Speaker 10 (12:01):
What's up everybody? How you doing well?

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I gotta tell you, James, I really was hoping you'd
be in the studio Live doing Trump this morning.

Speaker 15 (12:09):
Well, I'm in Princeton Junction train platform right now. I'm
trying to get on a train.

Speaker 10 (12:15):
To get up there to Boston. I did a show at.

Speaker 15 (12:17):
Princeton last night entertained the children of America.

Speaker 10 (12:20):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 15 (12:21):
I mean they're about to have all their funding cut.
I mean, these these universities, you know, we really got
to these these Princeton kids.

Speaker 10 (12:28):
They come from meager background.

Speaker 15 (12:30):
Really rough neighborhoods, and I'm there to provide a service.

Speaker 10 (12:34):
That could all go away, you know any moment. Life
is short.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, that's what we love about you, James. You're always
giving back.

Speaker 10 (12:42):
I'm a big you know, I'm comedy.

Speaker 15 (12:44):
It's you know, it goes comedy and volunteering and not
necessarily in that order.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I gotta tell you, James, the place you're performing is
in Gloucester tonight, beautiful Tom but the Cut is a
fairly new place.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
It's a very cool room. I think you're gonna love it.

Speaker 10 (12:58):
Oh.

Speaker 15 (12:58):
I can't wait to perform, you know, I do. I've
been doing comedy all summer and I you know, I
feel rested, I feel ready.

Speaker 10 (13:06):
Not tan, I'm pretty pale. But I think that's gonna
be fair. You know. It's gonna be part for the
course for Gloucester, I think.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
And James, since we have you, I got to ask,
what the hell is going on with Saturday Night Live?
But why is everybody leaving?

Speaker 15 (13:23):
Oh? You know, I think we had the big SNL
fifty celebration and there are a lot of people, you know,
staying on for that And what's happening now? Is the
same thing that happens at the beginning of every season.
You know, there is just a molting period where you
know how birds, you know, they pecked themselves to death.

(13:43):
Growing new found we're doing We're slipping out of our
little snake skin. We're becoming something new and fresh. We're
getting the youth of America on the show.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (13:55):
You know what's great about season fifty one, People like James.

Speaker 10 (13:58):
Austin Johnson are just hitting their stride.

Speaker 9 (14:01):
Guy, he wasn't going anywhere I go.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
Yeah, so it'll be interesting.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
You know.

Speaker 10 (14:09):
I can't wait to get out there on that first
show and uh do it to him.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
You know.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now, I haven't heard I heard a rumor. I don't
know if this is fact.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Colin Joe's Michael Jay Are they leaving of the weekend update?

Speaker 15 (14:22):
Oh man, I am the last to hear about anything.
I'm the one with a three year old and you know,
stuff to do in the morning, so that nobody tells
me anything. I can't stay late at any hot Hollywood
parties finding out the hot goss because I got I
got to help with potty training. So and you're asking
the wrong guy. You need you need to get Marcello

(14:43):
Hernandez on somebody who stays up past one am.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, and I don't forget you're also giving back to
those poor kids in Princeton.

Speaker 10 (14:52):
Yeah, I'm a I'm a man of the community. I'm
a man of the people.

Speaker 15 (14:55):
I don't I don't got time to worry about Chay's contract.

Speaker 10 (14:59):
You're asking the wrong guy.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
Yeah, okay, so the hell with everybody else.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Okay, but let me ask you this, what is the
process for getting on Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
I've always wanted to know that.

Speaker 10 (15:11):
Oh, it seems like it's every It's it's different for everybody.

Speaker 15 (15:13):
I went the stand up route, but a lot of people,
you know, they learn improv and and you know, finally,
I mean, this is probably the best way. And Brian
Lorne Michaels, I know, Will Ferrell famously, you know, walked
up to the building with a briefcase full of money.
So you know, I you know, there's it could happen
for anybody, you know what I mean, you got to

(15:34):
be funny, but you know, I would I would suggest stalking,
I would suggest identity seft.

Speaker 9 (15:41):
It's sure mission.

Speaker 15 (15:42):
Impossible type scenario where you repel down from the top
of thirty Rock and Warner's office. So you know, there's
lots of there's lots of paths.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
Now.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Is it is it hard to become friends with fellow
cast members?

Speaker 10 (15:56):
Oh not at all.

Speaker 15 (15:57):
We're all like, we're all comedians. A lot of us
have met each other on the way up. Yeah, and
uh so. But there's definitely you eventually meet people that become,
you know, best friends.

Speaker 10 (16:09):
You know, Andrew dis Muks and I share an office.

Speaker 15 (16:11):
And I gave us gave a speech at Yeah he's great,
he's the maybe the best comedy writer alive. But I
gave a speech at his wedding. I roasted him pretty hard.
I said that, uh he's uh you want to hear
on my roast jokes from his Uh? Well yeah, yeah,
I said. Andrew's tall and handsome, but you wouldn't know
it because he has the posture of the alien from

(16:33):
American Dad. You know, what is it with tall guys?
How they're so afraid of being tall They've got to
flouch all over and accentuate their paunchy little bellies. You know,
if I was this is I'm done doing comedy now,
I'm just talking.

Speaker 9 (16:48):
We're just having a conversation.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
You know, it's crazy when I hear James talk in
his regular voice, I kind of hear Trump.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
Yeah, how did you get Trump?

Speaker 15 (16:57):
All of these guys, by the way, excuse me, can
I send please? There's too many tall guys and they
don't stand up. None of them are standing up. And
too many people are tall. Chris Pine is too tall. Okay,
he should be ball Rudd. He should be five nine.
Ball Rudd lovely short, not too tall, five nine.

Speaker 11 (17:18):
We love Paul aunt.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
Man, shorter than you've ever seen in your life.

Speaker 10 (17:24):
Man. You know, I would have done Uncle Man.

Speaker 15 (17:26):
I would have changed it. But that's good for him.
I would do Uncle We do Uncle Man, not aunt Man.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
We're talking to James Austin Johnson, who, by the way
is President Trump on Saturday Night Live and is going
to be in Gloucester tonight at the Cot seven o'clock show.
And by the way, you can go to the exec
go to the cutlive dot com. So, James, I want
to give you a little tip about Gloucester, okay, and
maybe a little material. Every year they have the legendary
event called the Greasy Pole. It's the biggest weekend of

(17:56):
the year in the town of Gloucester. I'll just leave
you with greasy Pole. I'm sure you can work on that.

Dylan movie. Who are you playing it?

a bartender. It was a Sunday morning brunch ship I
was opening the bar was like nine forty five. This
weird guy knocked the door and like, hey, what time
do you guys open? I did not recognize him.

Speaker 21 (24:41):
And just open the door. It's like, we open at
ten thirty, shut the door at his face, and get
back to work. When it was ten thirty, adult like,
he just knocked the door with a bunch of Hollywood
celebrities and everybody started to freak out because they were
shooting and moving Boston.

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Everybody loves He's so cool. You don't really hear any stories,
and I'm always good.

Speaker 12 (25:02):
When my sister was younger, she worked at a golf
club and hang him and she waited on Bill Belichick.

Speaker 13 (25:10):
She said he looked very gromky.

Speaker 12 (25:12):
This is around the time of the game.

Speaker 10 (25:15):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (25:15):
Yeah, I actually almost ran into him, like physically when
I worked for the Patriots. We were both coming around
the corner in the tunnel and I didn't see him,
and I was like and he was like, yeah, no problem,
and I was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
It's really not that nice to encounter, really not.

Speaker 6 (25:28):
You must have almost run into a lot of Patch
players because.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
Yeah, obviously I worked along, you know, we did pieces
with them. Tom honestly, super nice guy. I know we've
talked to him, you know, because your son partners with him.
But years ago, I was a nobody, and he would
walk in the room and he said hi to everybody,
looked you in the eye, said hey, like just super
nice guy, super nice guy.

Speaker 9 (25:47):
You dated one? Right? What was that? You dated the
Patriots player?

Speaker 15 (25:50):

Speaker 9 (25:55):
He actually won three Super Bowls.

Speaker 7 (25:57):
He was just on the sideline for all three of them.

Speaker 9 (25:59):
I think I wasn't playing.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
I had a random signing and meeting Kendrick Bourne at
a charity golf tournament.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Kendrick Bourne, and he came over to me.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
We remember I'm holding his agent's card. It's a metal card.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
We never heard from him again.

Speaker 9 (26:20):
He claims he doesn't know who Bill is or cares.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
Oh no, So I reached out to his agent, shout
out to Henry Organ.

Speaker 9 (26:26):
He had a funny name there at.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Disruptive Sports Agency. This is a couple of nights after
they gave Bill the card, and Bill said Kendrick wanted
to come on the TV show and the radio show.

Speaker 15 (26:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (26:35):
And I called Henry and he said who Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:38):
Okay, First of all, Henry's probably not the guy that
was with Kendrick Bourne at the charity golf tournament.

Speaker 9 (26:43):
But he gave you the card because.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
He's the one that came over to me. Yeah, definitely,
Kendrick's a big fan. You want to come over and
say hello. He watches the TV show.

Speaker 9 (26:50):
Dude. I tried.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
They didn't know what I was talking about in town anymore.
Maybe you should have come on the show. Yeah, he
would still be playing football, sha buddy.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
And here we are the number one moment of the week.

Speaker 2 (27:04):

about it and even humored us by playing the cliff game.

Speaker 9 (27:20):
This is so cool.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
We have our old friend Joey McIntyre from The New
Kids on the phone.

Speaker 11 (27:25):
Hey, Joey sivin, it's the sound of kiss one away.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
Yeah, we're bringing you back, buddy.

Speaker 11 (27:37):
Oh, first of all, wishing on a star.

Speaker 6 (27:41):

Speaker 3 (28:14):
You're in Los Angeles and you called us before we
even had a chance to call you.

Speaker 11 (28:19):
I know, well, I you're good. You're a good man,
and family is family, and you gotta you gotta get

Speaker 3 (28:27):

your solo tour and the entire morning show did the
launch with you at at the bookstore very comics.

Speaker 11 (28:38):
Yeah, those good times. Thank you, Yes, Newbury Comics, good
old fashioned record signing. And it's been uh, it's been
a fun year. It's been a very fun year.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
Now.

Speaker 9 (28:52):
Hot the solo tour going.

Speaker 10 (28:55):
Great.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
I did we did House of Blues in Boston and
I did about seventeen April, and then I got seven
more solo dates in October on the West side of
the country. And yeah, I'm I'm happy to you know,
I'm happy with the album. And you know, I made
a commitment to support the album on the road, so

(29:16):
so far living up to that.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
So Joey The big thing now for artists on the
road is they all seem to do covers of other
people's songs, or they bring other artists out on stage
with them. If if you had to do a cover
of something or someone right now, what would it be?

Speaker 10 (29:39):
Wait?

Speaker 11 (29:39):
Thank you?

Speaker 10 (29:41):
No?

Speaker 9 (29:41):
Really?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Do you have a favorite song that you would do
a cover off right now on your solo tour?

Speaker 13 (29:49):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (29:50):
Geez, put I'm on the spot.

Speaker 11 (29:53):
I know can may be dead.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
Sure, if you'd rather cover someone dead, that's okay.

Speaker 11 (29:59):
You have to bring back someone. So, I mean, George
Michael was one of the greatest of all times. So
something something that maybe his freedom. I wrote a song
my album is called Freedom, but yeah it's not George
Michael's Freedom. But uh yeah, I'd have to pick George
Michael and almost anything he's saying, or you could do.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
Like Caroless Whisper or something. Was that George Michael a
good one? Hey, Joey, do you think anybody's covering Please?
Don't go girl, you know what, you know what?

Speaker 10 (30:31):
Don't laugh?

Speaker 11 (30:32):
Don't laugh. Really, that's been that's like an og kind
it's been bubbling up. The Bruno Mars has two nephews.
Have you seen them. Yeah. When he says yes, looked
at him they did. Please don't go girl.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Wow, that's very cool. Hey, how is Vegas? You guys
did Vegas and you're going.

Speaker 9 (31:09):
Oh, very cool.

Speaker 11 (31:11):
Yeah, two weeks at a time.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Joey, we want to play play a little game with you.
If that's okay, justin you're ready for a game?

Speaker 1 (31:18):

Speaker 6 (31:19):
Are you familiar with the cliff game?

Speaker 11 (31:22):
The cliff game? Yeah, if you're driving off a cliff or.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
Something, well, something like that.

Speaker 9 (31:27):
I'll explain the rules.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
Go ahead, Okay, I'm going to name three artists.

Speaker 11 (31:33):
Okay, oh jeez, kill throw or.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Well we're kind of lightening it up here for the
morning show. But one you would go on a vacation with,
one you would collaborate with, and the other you would.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Toss off the cliff.

Speaker 11 (31:48):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
So the list of artists are ninety eight degrees Man,
Backstreet Boys, or n Sync.

Speaker 11 (32:00):
I go on vacation with in Sync.

Speaker 6 (32:09):
Just you and justin No, actually, hold on, oh you're
changing your mind.

Speaker 11 (32:17):
Okay, I go on vacation in ninety eight degrees because
they could drink you from here to next Thursday.

Speaker 9 (32:23):
All right, that's a plus.

Speaker 11 (32:25):
And then and then I collaborate with in Sync and
only because only because we've already collaborated with backstret boys.
I'm not going to throw them off the clip. Well
I am, but they have like rocket boosters on. They're futuristic.

Speaker 6 (32:45):
Just oh, they'll be fine.

Speaker 9 (32:48):
Yeah, yeah, they'll just.

Speaker 11 (32:49):
Levitate off the clip.

Speaker 15 (32:51):
Wow. Hurt.

Speaker 6 (32:52):
So, Joey.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
The main reason we have you on while you solo
tour and we just love having you on. But so
this weekend you're performing in my childhood neighborhood.

Speaker 6 (33:04):
He's Cambridge.

Speaker 11 (33:05):
That's that's wild. Now, you didn't I didn't know. I
didn't know exactly that you were right from where the feast.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Is literally on the same street. Well, it's a combination
of streets. It's Portland Street, it's Cambridge Street, it's Warren Street.
You know, it's East Cambridge. But here's a fun fact,
Joe and it just hit me this morning. On Warren Street,
the heart of the Feast there was a popular bar
named Joey Max.

Speaker 6 (33:32):
Really when we grew up. Yeah, the Mob hung out
there on.

Speaker 11 (33:35):
The Mob Joey Max, an Irish bar with the Mob
and the whole thing. That's Boston. That's more Boston than that.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah, well we'll try to get maybe there's still some
merch lying around.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
We'll try to get you a T shirt, Joey Mack.

Speaker 11 (33:48):
I always went to the North End for the Feast,
but I've never been to this feast and that here.
It's like one hundred years old, this society and you know,
this organization and great acts, and I'm very excited. It's
a free show. So come on out everybody, Saturday night.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
That's a good point. It's absolutely free. I actually kick
off the Feast tonight. Joey introducing Gloria Gainer.

Speaker 6 (34:16):
Justin.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Since Joey is another artist like myself, do you have
a clip meet of me doing Gloria for the cover?

Speaker 11 (34:29):
Wait for.

Speaker 4 (34:31):

covers better.

Speaker 9 (34:43):
Oh they got nothing on you joy?

Speaker 11 (34:46):
Oh nice? Yeah, nice pool there, nice pol Joey. You're
just speeding it up because young producers like to speed everything.

Speaker 6 (35:00):
I don't want to make a big deal about enjoy.

Speaker 11 (35:02):
But the production show we have to we have to
speed everything up, can get through everything.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
You're not even making that up.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Every two minutes I get a wrap sign from either
Justin or Winning.

Speaker 9 (35:15):
You gotta wrap it up, you gotta wrap it up.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Well, he thinks that I sped up his new his
single Freedom, I didn't. Does this sound sped up?

moments of the week again, it's producer Riley. Thanks for
