moved in September. It began my first day October tewond
of twenty.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So it was you, it was me.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Ever since the fall of twenty twenty three, the weather
has sucked here.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (01:59):
Only you know I'm responsible for the first half of
the day, and you know I leave it to.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I think we had that. We played that with him
the other day.
Speaker 13 (02:24):
It's raining.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
I think, yeah, it might as well rain. Like your point,
let's might.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
As well rain. But congratulations, you just won two Emmy Awards.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (02:38):
I did.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
It was such an epic night.
Speaker 9 (02:40):
I was there with my colleagues and Paula Evans, She's
an absolute doll.
Speaker 10 (02:44):
She's our ray of sunshine.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
She also won that night as well, and every single
member of my weather team also won.
Speaker 13 (02:52):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (02:52):
Eric won two awards that night. He got two Emmys.
Speaker 9 (02:55):
Jacob wy Coffee also got two ms, and then I
walked away with two Emmys as well. You know, it's
it's that is a team that speaks to the breath
of talent, of intellect, of sound.
Speaker 10 (03:08):
Mine and it is truly an honor to work with
them every day.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why is it you didn't bring the Emmys in with.
Speaker 9 (03:12):
You, Brian? Why isn't it that I didn't bring the Emmies?
You know, I dashed off this morning, and you know
I left.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
It to Pepper.
Speaker 10 (03:20):
Pepper's was responsible for that, but he chose this snooze.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I used minus hood ornament, so I mean, I don't
go anywhere another one. It's a pendant. It just hangs
around my neck, you know.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
You know, I'll be honest with you guys here. It
is actually still on my kitchen table. I feel like
those emmys, those are my my starlit golden Girl. They're beautiful,
they are beautiful, They're weighted, they're heavy.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
I already named them.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh on your kitchen table, they.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Are on my kitchen table.
Speaker 9 (03:52):
I feel like they need to just soak up the room.
They just you know, you work so hard, and you
move so many places. You're away from the people that
love you the most and are there to support you
the most, and you spend a lot of time alone,
and you know, climbing in this career.
Speaker 10 (04:07):
I just I just need to take it all in.
And I'm still taking it in.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I got to tell you a secret, right so with
my winn he shut it, shut it so my Emmy's
you know, so excited. I between you and me, I
have this bookcase built a wall length of bookcase in
the den, and I insisted that didn't have lights inside.
(04:33):
So when I come home I can walk in and
and the Emmys are nice, and.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know, I might want to consider that it is.
Speaker 12 (04:43):
For Dorothy and plants.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Hey, can I drag you guys into a conversation we
had earlier about non negotiables.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Let's go in a relationship.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Oh, okay, we're on trial, Brian.
Speaker 12 (04:54):
This is a good topic.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, Jason, do you have a non negotiable? Brian block yours?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
My goodness?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Well, I feel like.
Speaker 14 (05:02):
You need to keep going for before I pre commit
my non negotiables. Well, I would say I've kissed a
lot of frogs and maybe some toads. But what I
you know, I will say what I've found in Brian.
I have never had to even think about any sort
(05:22):
of non negotiables.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
He's perfect, he has been perfect. Yes, Brian, do you
have a non negotiable?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
They can't lie, they have to be honest.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, that's a good one. I'm very honest. Another topic
of conversation cake icing or no icing?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (05:40):
Icing?
Speaker 13 (05:40):
Please? Okay, I sing all the time, especially if it's
market baskets, icing all the.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Time from the basket to the casket. I'm just saying, wow,
So what is going on when you get this It's
like you were if you're a doctor, you go to
a house party, everybody says they have a pain, what's
going on with me? But everywhere you go you must
get asked, especially now with this weather is horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (06:07):
People are trying to plan things for the weekend.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
It has been quite horrible. It really honestly happened. And
you know, I do feel the pressure. I feel the
weight of it as well, and you know it.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
Is something that I do take with me every day
in terms of the commitment, the sort of authority that
I have over New England's weather along with my teammates there.
It is reminiscent I feel of twenty twenty three where
it was a very wet summer. It was an active
summer as well, and I will employ everyone to think
about the weather is connective tissue. If there's something's happening,
(06:37):
you know, across the world, it will affect us, and
I think that's likely what's happening right now. You normally
have sort of a ridge that allows for nice dry weather.
Speaker 13 (06:46):
You have high.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Pressure and control. What we've been dealing with.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
Here are these troughs of low pressure, just dumping rain
each and every sort of weekend, and it's just unfortunately
just been the unlucky straw we've been.
Speaker 12 (06:57):
Well, it continuing, it appears to continue, Wow for how long?
Speaker 9 (07:03):
However, however, I am taking it week by week. Okay,
I am taking it week by week.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yes, so it might be a good July fourth, July fourth, No,
I mean.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Now, Lisa, I wouldn't go that far.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, it should be swimming street.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Everybody has a non negotiable when it comes to relationships. Hey,
it's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in the Morning
counting down the top five moments of the week with you.
Speaker 15 (07:27):
Let's get into number four.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
This conversation started because Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans are
currently doing press but their new movie Materialists, and they
got asked what are some dating non negotiables that they have?
And we discussed some of ours, and then we went
to the phones.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Hey, Ray, good morning, and brainchew. What have you got
for a non negotiable?
Speaker 16 (07:45):
Hey, this might ruffle a lot of feathers, but I
can't pat vegans a good steak. You know it's going
to be rough dating that.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, dietary restrictions, Yeah.
Speaker 17 (07:58):
Looks like what we're having for dinner. You know, once
you get plut together, it's going to be a question
every night.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
It's hard and it can be hard, right if you're
if you're out dating and you have to go to
specific restaurants.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
If somebody is a serious vegan.
Speaker 17 (08:11):
Yeah, vegetarians easy, yes, they just don't have meat. But
vegans everything.
Speaker 13 (08:16):
Now, what do you do you go out to eat? Yeah,
that's what you do with when you with somebody. You're
not going to Chick fil a, No, that's well.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah, you have the kale salad man. Yeah, just the kale.
Speaker 13 (08:28):
That's it.
Speaker 12 (08:29):
That's it, all right.
Speaker 13 (08:30):
Where we're going next?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
There? Up next, we're.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Going vegan a new restaurant right in Kendall Square.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
It's called Plant Pub.
Speaker 13 (08:38):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I like that plant based Plant Pub.
Speaker 18 (08:41):
You know.
Speaker 13 (08:42):
I have had some vegan males that are pretty good, though.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I have to remember I did the Purple Carrot, they
remember the Tom Brady thing he did, and I had
the meal Delivery. Yeah, they were good, they were just
took a long time to make.
Speaker 17 (08:53):
I was going to say the impossible burger I had
from Burger Care. I got cheese on it, so I
guess that's vegan again.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I had a few vegan meals in Africa when I
went to Africa, and they were good.
Speaker 13 (09:06):
They tasted good, right, they're not bad.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
Oh no, not this topic again. Oh this is gollamie
ka Jimmy Dean sausage toes. I just know where Billy's
gonna go. It's gonna be all about the feet, the
disgusting feet. I'm gonna feel badly about myself all day.
In a hypothetical world, if I have a date of
Billy and you know, he took me out in his
boat and I took my shoes off to get, you know,
feel my feet on the deck of his boat, he'd
(09:30):
probably end up selling his boat.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
He might.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, the bad feet are rubbing off on the You'll
never really, you won't be able to forget.
Speaker 13 (09:40):
Yeah, just burn the boat. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (09:42):
I could never date a mama's boy because you'll never
win an argument. And essentially he's married to his mother.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I could never do that.
Speaker 18 (09:53):
I don't want him to hate his mom, but I
could never date a mama's boy.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, that's another big one.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah, there's a fine line.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Right, It's like, I think you want a guy who
really loves his mother and respects his mother.
Speaker 12 (10:07):
That's really important.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Very important.
Speaker 13 (10:09):
There are also guys that are even subconsciously they don't
even know they're looking for their mother. Yes, when day
they want someone to take care of them.
Speaker 17 (10:17):
Yeah, there's a fine there's a very fine line between
being a good, respectable, loving son and getting weird.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't think I was ever looking for my mother.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
No, your mom didn't didn't cuddle you remember three and
a half packs a day.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I just wasn't my didn't you have bad feet?
Speaker 13 (10:35):
Well, your dad did too, he had the long nails.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No, my dad had smelly feet.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
My mom had jagged nails.
Speaker 17 (10:42):
Billy is like a social experiment about how your child
that affects you your entire life and never leaves you.
Speaker 13 (10:49):
But he could have went the other way. He could
have went into a life of crime or you know.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Someone like Billy. There's two ways you go.
Speaker 17 (10:57):
You either go right where your parents went or you
did the opposite because you don't want to live like that.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Andy.
Speaker 13 (11:03):
Yeah, Bill wasn't a mom's boy.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I never wanted to cuddle with mom because they smelled
like cigarettes. Wow, we're really opening up on the show
this morning.
Speaker 19 (11:15):
Boys, I agree with Riley. My brother is the youngest,
my mom is the youngest, and there is a very
unique sense of entitlement that comes with being the youngest
that I wouldn't want to put up with either. My
other two would be no hunting and must love dogs.
Speaker 20 (11:38):
And you would be surprised or.
Speaker 19 (11:41):
Maybe not how often those two hunter twine. So such
tricky one.
Speaker 13 (11:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, hunting's big for me too.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you're not meeting a lot of gals, I don't
think so carrying a shotgun on the back.
Speaker 13 (11:58):
A lot of hunters have dogs.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well that's that never made sense to him.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Yeah, that's why they need the dog to help them
set out.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh, come on another way.
Speaker 13 (12:06):
I lived with a guy once and he was a
big hunter, and he had two beagles, and the beagles
are good at sniffing. You go out with him hunting
and come home with deer in his truck, you know,
hang them up in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
God, string it up.
Speaker 13 (12:20):
But it's you'd have the deer hanging in the backyard
with the two beagles there draining out.
Speaker 12 (12:27):
It's like there's a lotter grew up in Pennsylvania. There's
a lot of deer hunting in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 21 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Remember, would a hunter be a non negotiable for you?
Speaker 16 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (12:35):
I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
I mean, it's not for me.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's not for me.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
Let's go to Jill and Ymouth.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Let's hey, Jill, let's go to you in Weymouth. Do
you have a non negotiable?
Speaker 22 (12:45):
I do. It would be nasty fingers as opposed to fingernails,
where if they're unkept, is when you're eating and someone
has like grease or something that drips down and gets
all in their fingers in your at dinner, that is
absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 17 (13:03):
Okay, all right, nasty fingers, well that was mine. Yeah,
she said, different than nails. It's about having nasty, gross
fingers when you're eating, Like.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Well, that's more about just being a sloppy eater. You know,
you've got sausage grease tripping.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Down your fingers, like you know who.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
That makes me think of, oh are you looking at me?
Why are you looking.
Speaker 13 (13:25):
At not your nails? You have beautiful nails. Yeah, but
I had this image when we go out to eat
as a show, she orders because it's on Billy's card,
a million advertisers, and you just see her hand reaching
across the table.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
My beautiful nails.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
We went to the North End before an event. We
were going for dinner before any of us sat down.
When he got there before everybody, and she had already
ordered five entrees for herself.
Speaker 17 (13:49):
You know what annoys me though, is that Justin loves
I do that because he wants to do it, but
wants me to do it, so he's greedy.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He just takes a bite of each. Oh, I want
to taste everything in the venue.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Are you going to throw and stuff in?
Speaker 18 (14:00):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
No, this is you see I would know this is Justin.
Speaker 17 (14:03):
So him and his wife Jen will get there around
the same time as me, right, and you throw what
you throw in?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
What you can throw some stuff in? Oh yeah, throw
this in two. So then I'll order.
Speaker 17 (14:10):
I'll be like, oh, and then I'll order things that
Justin asked me to throw in.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
Well, I'll eat the food if it's there.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (14:18):
Cheat day, Yeah, to cheat night. Let's go to Rachel
online too in Nashua.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I'm Rachel and Nashua. Give us a non negotiable. Hello,
by my.
Speaker 22 (14:28):
Non negotiable is somebody that smokes cannabis or cannabis every day?
Speaker 13 (14:34):
Yeah, OK. Yeah, what about sometimes it's just such a.
Speaker 22 (14:38):
Lack of motivation. Oh yeah'll get me wrong, Like we
can for a while sometimes, but every single day, I
feel like you're not really meeting the person.
Speaker 17 (14:50):
Yeah, no, every day, Like I think, you know, people
will take it to sleep or whatever, like that's one thing.
But if you're just doing it every day because you
need to escape from something, you need therapy.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
A lot of people do it.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
Yeah, it's legal. Yeah, I drive by a weed store
every day. I'm like, wow, look at that.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
No one else is a weird one for me. Vaping.
I imagine you go out on a date.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All of a sudden, Hey guys, it's producer Riley from
Billy and Lisa in the Morning, continuing to count down
the top five moments of the week with you. Let's
get into number three. Apparently gen Z is causing some
havoc at bars, explaining to us Lisa, well.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
We look to gen Z because they are the youth
of America, right, this is what's going on. So they're
infuriating bartenders all over because they're not drinking as much.
They're not keeping open tabs on their cards. They like
to use Apple Pay, which is like tap and go,
and it's infuriating some bartenders.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Now, in their defense, I'll play devil's advocate. Could they
not be using their cards at a bar because they
may not have the money?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, that's it too, like they are really watching their finances.
Everything's so expensive. So if you think about it, if
you leave your card at the bar, we've all done it.
It's so easy to be like, oh, just add add
his drink at her drink to the tab, and then
all of a sudden, at the end of the night,
you've got like a two hundred and fifty dollars bar
tab and you're like, what just happened.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Well, that's why everybody's reluctant to be the first one
in with the card, because if you're leaving your car
answers are you're paying the tab.
Speaker 12 (16:19):
For everybody exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
But it's also widely known that you that's why they
always ask you, oh, do you want to keep the
tab open because they.
Speaker 12 (16:26):
Know you're going to run up the bill.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, yeah, sure, but it is aggravating. I could see
the bartender's point too. If you've got a busy bar
going on, you've got two deep, three deep at the
bar and everybody wants to give you a credit card
for another drink.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Like it's a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Go back to the machine, you have to enter the information,
and meanwhile you've got customers waiting.
Speaker 17 (16:45):
Yeah, it's so much more work, I would say as
a former server, especially nowadays, it's not hard to cloat
the tab out.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
You swipe the card, you give him a sign.
Speaker 17 (16:53):
I think as a consumer, I never leave my card
because like I'm like, okay, well if I go do something,
or because you're out at a bar where you're not
at the bar, because sometimes you go up and you're
not sitting at the bar, you're just going to the
bar you drink right because it's like an outdoor event,
or it's somewhere where you're not sitting where your card is.
I could go down like you know, twenty forty feet
(17:15):
and forget to come back, and then they close it
out and then they give themselves thirty percent.
Speaker 15 (17:20):
Well I just know, I just watch.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You're the only one that show.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I bartenders work there. Yeah, they're they're doing stuff for tables.
They're taking care of you sitting there, so like constantly
swiping the card for each individual run is like annoying.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
I can totally see the one.
Speaker 13 (17:38):
Stuff that they have to do. I know what you mean. Well,
producer Riley is the only gen z one here. I
wonder if her and her friends do they do this?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Oh you committed here for gen Zers.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
Also aren't drinking as much?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Yeah, I act brother doesn't drink.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
That's like a big topic of conversation around like people
that like run wine company spirit companies.
Speaker 12 (17:58):
Because a lot of there's a lot of pot gummies like.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Popping around, Like a lot of them are doing edibles.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Right, Yeah, I don't really drink, but I love a
good edible.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You sure do.
Speaker 13 (18:07):
And it's expensive to go out.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
It's expensive because one drink is no lie, twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Dollars, twenty four depends anywhere you're.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Going, Like a cheap cocktail is fifteen dollars.
Speaker 12 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So uh, But then again, you weren't a bartender.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I was a server. I did it all.
Speaker 12 (18:25):
It's different if you're a bartender like they were.
Speaker 18 (18:27):
No.
Speaker 17 (18:27):
I respect bartenders. I love bartenders. I have many friends
that are bartenders. I'm just saying that's not like you
can be annoyed because it's an extra step. But as
if I'm your server, your bartender, and it makes you
feel better for me to close your tabout every time. Okay, fine,
because you're probably if you're a good person, you're gonna
tip me every time.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Anyways.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, I been thinking of it this way though, if
you're if gen z ers are.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Out and they travel in groups a lot, right, if
they're out with four or five people, and you've got
four or five people now ordering a drink and giving
their card, and then the next person orders their drink
and they want to give the bartender, it's a hassle.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Yeah, I guess it's all relative.
Speaker 18 (19:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh, here's our resident gen z Or producer.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
We want to know, like how much you drink at
a bar, if anything.
Speaker 13 (19:09):
And if she ever opens a tab, or if your.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Friends are like closing out tabs after one drink.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, all my friends close out a tab. I've never
had anybody be like, oh just put my card down.
Speaker 15 (19:20):
I've never met never friends.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Oh you got some cheap friends.
Speaker 12 (19:24):
Well yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But also we're like we're more conscious of our money,
how much we're spending, how much we're drinking.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So okay, let's say you and Hannah and three or
four of your other friends are out of the bar,
right and you're standing around, you're hanging around at the bar.
So you would each order a drink and give your
own credit card for one drink, and then Hannah steps up,
she wants a drink, she gives her a card.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
That's how it works.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Sometimes, Like somebody will pay for me and I'll veno them. Yeah,
so like somebody will put like three drinks on their
card and then we'll just sort it between all of it.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And if you're out to dinner, do you take it
one step further? And when the ill comes, everybody talks
about what they had. Well, don't forget I got the
extra apple sauce.
Speaker 15 (20:04):
I won't lie to you.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I do that.
Speaker 15 (20:06):
But it's because I don't make any money, Like I
don't want.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
To be I don't drink like when you said earlier,
So I don't want to be paying for part of
somebody's drink that I didn't have.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That's a good point. Yeah, that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Like if you were at a table with people, some
guy wants to order a very expensive bottle of wine
and you're like, yeah, you.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
Sit on this.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Yeah, that's what's always good if you have that issue.
Speaker 17 (20:27):
Ally, bring a little cash, bring tony Bucks and you're like, oh,
this is mind plus a tip.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
You know, there you go.
Speaker 13 (20:32):
Well, you also never know once you pull your card out,
you know, there's a lot of scams going on. You know,
people jump on your tab.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Another thing that I realized is like the older generation
of people, they they keep tabs open for like multiple drinks.
Like the younger generation, like myself, we don't keep tabs
open for ourselves. Like I just buy one drink and
close the tab because I'm afraid of like some random
stranger being like, oh, can you put it on his tab?
Like I'm just so afraid of like more people coming
(20:58):
up and like randomly trying to get my job.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
I honestly, I've never trusted it, and I've always been
like I'm not gonna leave my tab open, that I'm
not leaving my card there.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It happened to me one night. It was a busy
night at a restaurant bar. That happened to me, and
I left my card And it's not like anybody scammed me,
but all of a sudden, for the rest of the night,
like the ten or twelve people within the area, the
bartender thought they were with me and he was putting
everybody's drinks on my card.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Here's a tip, guys.
Speaker 17 (21:25):
If you're out a bar and you see Billy coss
Is sitting across from you, just say, oh, it's on
the cost to tab.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
He won't even notice. He will not notice, He'll.
Speaker 17 (21:33):
Get the tag, he'll tip one hundred dollars and he'll
walk off.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Let's go back to the phones.
Speaker 13 (21:37):
When he got Jared on the phone, he's a bartender.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All right, Jared, Okay, do you like it or do
you hate it?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
When the gen z ers are just giving a card
for one drink, it's terrible.
Speaker 23 (21:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna let you know right now. Like the
first thing they do, they come they say, I'm being responsible.
This is a responsible thing to do. You know what's
being responsible is not getting so drunk that you leave
your tab at the end of the night. How thought
we'd just be responsible and close out your tab? That
would be just one of many things. But then also
(22:10):
like at the end of the night, I'm sitting there
closing out Billy bud lights ten times in.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
His row for his dollar.
Speaker 23 (22:20):
Now I have like a stack of credit card slip
set I have to close at the end of the night,
each one of them. I'm sitting in front of the computer.
I got a bliss on my finger permitting this. Well serious,
it's absolutely It's so funny because you're like, oh, yeah, no,
(22:41):
we're being responsible. Half of the time they'll be like, no, no,
I don't want to set it up. I'm going to
close it out, and then they leave the cod in
the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Anyway, Hey guys, welcome back into the Top five Moments
of the week. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa
in the Morning, and we're already at number two, and
we've list of some of the most iconic Boston movies
and we're gonna share our favorites.
Speaker 15 (23:04):
But least, what's the reason we're talking about this.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Jaws is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this month. There's like
a lot of stuff going on in the vineyard all
over the place. So it got us to thinking, what
your most favorite movie ever filmed in Massachusetts? And there
are so many from recent movies like Coda to The
Perfect Storm, to Gone Baby, Gone to Manchester by the Sea,
(23:27):
the Town, Shutter Island, The Verdict, Mystic River, like It goes,
the Holdovers, Fever, pitch knives out.
Speaker 12 (23:36):
There's so many the Fighter, Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, you could go on and on and oh boy.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
So I mean you can go. I'm stuck between two.
I can go my number one. Okay, what are your two?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
My two would be good Will Hunting. You gotta go
with yours. And my other one would be The Departed.
Speaker 13 (23:53):
Okay, mine's the Town.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Or The Town?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Yeah, yeah, okay, those are great. I actually think Misstick River.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Though, it's a great great Kevin Bacon, Yeah.
Speaker 17 (24:01):
And like all the I mean they all have great scenes,
but like the backdrop of the river and like, I
don't know, I just said, there's so many great like
Boston moments in that movie.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Is that the one? Where is that my daughter?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Yeah? My daughter Sean Penn.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I have to say, from a comedy standpoint, I have
to go for the heat with most of McCarthy and
Sandra Bullock.
Speaker 13 (24:25):
That was filmed here.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yes, all over the place, And I have to say
that's my go to if I just want like a
real laugh, Like I'll just put that movie on because
it's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 13 (24:36):
I did not know that was filmed here.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yes, But another one is Ted for a comedy.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That was a Boston movie.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
Yep, that was good too.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Patriot d Mark Wallburns.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Movie and also The Social Network which Ben Mezrich wrote
the book which spawned the movie. And that's one of
my top five most favorite movies because.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It all started on the Harvard campus.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
It did face.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You guys were the inventors of Facebook.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Inventive Facebook.
Speaker 13 (25:03):
You know that Patriots Day was filmed on the street
that I grew up on.
Speaker 24 (25:06):
Really what?
Speaker 13 (25:07):
Yeah, the chase, the chase scene in Watertown where they
got the marathon bomber, they used my street.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
When they found him the boat, hiding in the boat.
Speaker 13 (25:15):
Yeah, they used my street. My dad was right there
watching the whole farm.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
That's amazing.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
Yeah, pretty cool. Yeah, I'm stuck between the town and Goodwille.
I feel like Goodwille Hunting should be number one.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, it's a couple of guys who got the Academy
Award at a very young age.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Just everything worked for that movie.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
So I posted a poll yesterday and that came out
as number one was Hunting Over the Departed.
Speaker 13 (25:39):
Yeah, like you remember this scene with Robin Williams and
Matt Damon. I'll tell you the story afterward. Remember the
scene when she was nervous.
Speaker 20 (25:46):
Oh yeah, it's a wonderful line.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
So I shared that with you one night.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Was so loud the dog.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
So that scene was completely improvised by Robin Williams. It
was not in the script. Matt Damon or the cameraman
of the producers had no idea. Robin Williams improvised it
and it was so funny and in the moment that
the cameraman couldn't control his laughter. Right right, watch that
the camera is shaking.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Matt Damon talked about that recently during an interview.
Speaker 20 (26:21):
Yeah, Robin made everybody laugh, I mean, uncontrollable, and when
he would see people's energy flagging, he would just launch
into like ten minutes of stand up. He was the biggest,
you know, comedian in the world and actor in the world.
And that level of like I don't know, leadership, kind
of like an attention and love love coming from him
was just like, well, you know, everybody was ready to
(26:43):
like work for another twelve hours.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
I mean, he was just amazing. Yeah, you can see
it on YouTube if you if you look up the
farts scene. Yeah, you can see when Matt's Damon's laughing
the camera and they left it in.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Most of my favorite scenes and Goodwill Hunting were between
Robin Williams and Matt Damon. But my favorite scene of
the entire move in justin and I think you know
where I'm going with this. It's when they're on the
construction site and Matt Damon is meeting privately with Robin
Williams and he's thinking about what he wants to do
with his life and they're best friends. And every morning
(27:13):
Ben Affleck and his brother Casey would drive up to
Matt Damon's place to pick him up to go to.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Work, and he said, you know what I dream about? Yep,
do you have it there?
Speaker 13 (27:22):
I do.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I'm getting a chill. Go ahead and tell you what
I do.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Every day.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
I come by the house and I pick you up.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
We go out, we have a few drinks and fuel ass.
Speaker 13 (27:32):
And a scray. You know what the best part of
my day is for about ten seconds from when I
pull up to.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
The curve when I get to your door, Because I
think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
The door and you won't be there.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Don't go bye, I no see you light.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I know nothing just left.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I have to say, if I had, if I had
to vote for one movie, it would be good Will Hunting.
Speaker 13 (27:52):
Definitely. I see Scott's online one he agrees with us.
We can talk to him real quick and look at it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Hey, good morning, Scott. What do you think.
Speaker 23 (28:00):
Guys?
Speaker 25 (28:00):
Yeah, I know, I I totally agree with everything he said. So,
I I mean, there's obviously been so many amazing movies
that have been filmed in Boston. I think where Goodwill
Hunting kind of has a special place in everyone's heart
that are you know, hardcore Bostonians that have been here
their whole life is you know, it's not only kind
of highlighted a different a lot of different areas in
(28:22):
uh in in Boston, but it also, you know, like
it launched their careers, and you know, it just and
I think because they got as successful as they've gotten,
they've then you know, shot other movies here. And I
was very lucky that after I graduated college, I worked
for ABC and I worked with a writer on Goodwill
(28:42):
Hunting and he had kind of told me that they
one of the reasons why they ended up casting Robin
Williams is because he is so notorious for improvising and
you know, really being able to play a scene out
and and apparently the script that the two of them
had originally submitted to Mirror Max, they ended up improvising
(29:04):
a lot of the scenes just because the stuff that
they got from Robin Williams was better than the original
script that they had submitted to Mirror Max. So yeah,
just again, a lot of great movies in Boston, but
I think that one will always have a special place
and a good in my.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Heart, really good call, by the way to get the
conversation going. By the way, a magical moment. Ben and
Matt got the Academy Award in Hollywood that night at
the Oscars, and that morning, in the middle of the
night in Los Angeles, they called this radio show to celebrate.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
First thing they said, do you like apple?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
All right, here we are the number one moment of
the week. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 15 (29:42):
In the morning.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We just ran through our favorite movies set or filmed
in Boston, but we opened it up for discussions. So
let's hear what you guys think. My favorite movie ever.
Speaker 21 (29:51):
But also happened to be take place in Boston and
with filmed here as The Departed. It's so good, Like
I could watch it a million times and I'm not
a huge movie person, but it's just such a great movie.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And you know what's funny, justin you were just talking
about your friend in the opening scene of Gone, Debbie Gane,
a friend of mine who was an actual state trooper,
was in the opening scene of The Departed.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
He's the cop with the battering ram breaking into the apartment.
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Oh, I got to rewatch that.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, Brian, No, it was not my friend, Brian and
Brian and Mitzi Fame.
Speaker 13 (30:24):
No, it wasn't. That's a classic in your unit.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That is a fact, all right.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
They knew everything, all right. There was a leak from
the inside. It's real man, smoke him out.
Speaker 25 (30:34):
Mmm.
Speaker 13 (30:35):
Loosely based on Whitey Bulger.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, as was this.
Speaker 19 (30:39):
Another great movie is Black Mass with Benjikumabatchi and Johnny Depp.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
I watched them filming that and Lynn.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
It was pretty awesome.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
They made it a middle of December scene in July
and it was so cool.
Speaker 17 (30:53):
I watched them film it in Squanham in Quinsey. Oh yeah,
they had because Weddy Bulger's girlfriend at the time back
when never they were there. She lived in Squanham, which
knows the neighborhood in Quincy On like the Dorchester line,
and they went to the actual house and filmed there
that she lived in.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
By the way, Black Mass would be in my top five.
It's not on the list. I don't see it.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
No, it's not even on that list.
Speaker 18 (31:16):
Mo.
Speaker 13 (31:16):
Yeah, wow, that's a Johnny Depp transformed me.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
This is a family and you gave it to me.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
Just like that.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
So I went to the Okay, so Kevin Weeks is
in Black Mass.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
It's about him.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
He came on the show for his book tour.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
I went to a sign on this show.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
Creepiest guy you'll ever meet, not creepy in you could
just look in his eyes and tell that he had
done some stuff. Nice guy. Yeah, I met him.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I mean, is it nice? Relative?
Speaker 13 (31:50):
Well, So I went to the Black Mass premiere in
Boston Coolidge Corner, and I had a microphone and I
was trying to get an interview with Johnny Depp. Sure,
and so everybody, all the email Billy on a red carpet,
all the reporters are there. I knew I had to
yell something good. So as he's walking by. All the
reporters are yelling out with the microphone. So I yelled, Johnny,
(32:11):
I like to wear my girlfriend's underwear and I don't
know what to do, and he stopped.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 13 (32:16):
He looked at me and he took a step to
come towards me, and his publicism people were like, no,
we have to go. I was so close.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Now did you really like wearing between me?
Speaker 4 (32:28):
And to say a fun fact about black Mask that
I did not know that Dakota Fanning, I'm sorry, Dakota
Johnson is in black masks.
Speaker 15 (32:38):
I know that that's crazy.
Speaker 13 (32:40):
I have to rewatch that. Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
My favorite comedy filmed filmed in Massachusetts is up.
Speaker 17 (32:48):
Oh yeah, they mall multiple malls, I.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Think multiple malls.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
Yeah, oh wow. Yeah. We had Kevin James on the
show last year about Boston.
Speaker 16 (33:01):
I fell in love with Boston, my son was born there,
and then, uh, you know, it's just we I did
a bunch with Sadler there. You know, it's just the
greatest place to shoot. It really is great people, a
lot of fun, great city.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I gotta tell you, Mall Cup.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
The one scene in Mall Cup when he's having the
fist fight with the woman in the lingerie store legendary scene.
Speaker 17 (33:25):
He also filmed the Zoo here where he Kevin Kevin
what's his name, James?
Speaker 12 (33:31):
Yeah, it was the zook keeper at the Franklin Park Zoo.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
Wow.
Speaker 17 (33:34):
And then one where he was he was a good
teacher who came a wrestler.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
He did it.
Speaker 17 (33:39):
He did it in Quincy because our high school band
was the band.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh really, yeah, I vaguely remember that movie.
Speaker 17 (33:46):
Yeah, he was like a teacher turned like sumo wrestler.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Or something like that.
Speaker 13 (33:51):
Yeah, you should be writing these down to rewatch some
of these floors if you haven't seen them. Let's go
to Miranda online one.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Hey, Miranda, I give.
Speaker 13 (34:02):

Oh yeah, that's a good one with Selma hiaccented.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yeah. Yes, yeah, almost ran into her car driving. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And most of that was shot in and around Marblehead.
And I had some friends in Marblehead who like lived
next door to houses that like they were renting houses
for the actors and everything.
Speaker 14 (34:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (34:24):
David Spade, Rob Schneider.
Speaker 13 (34:27):
Yeah, Sam, grown Ups Ye family does for sure, guys.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I'm with Lisa.
Speaker 24 (34:31):
My favorite is the heat only because they filmed it
at my hospital. I thought they were filming a commercial
and was signs all up on a different fluicinge quite
during filming, and they were actually filming the heat there
and Sandra Melissa both took pictures with a bunch of
the nurses there and it's just one of my most
memorable and actually took pictures of myself at the fake
(34:53):
nurses station during the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
No, I got to tell you there was something about
the chemistry between Samdra Bullock and the listen.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
McCarthy, like they couldn't have nailed it better.
Speaker 13 (35:02):
The tewol that it's I haven't seen it. I actually
tried to pull my favorite scene when they're trying to interrogate.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
The drug girl too much swearing.
Speaker 13 (35:11):
It's too much. I enough time to edit it. Yeah,
get your face out of the powder of cocaine. It's
so good. Look it might not be the best movie ever.
Speaker 16 (35:22):
But when I think Boston movies, I got a hand
at the boon, Dog says.
Speaker 13 (35:27):
Oh, anybody's seen that years ago?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I think I did.
Speaker 13 (35:30):
Yeah, it was kind of a cult classic film. Yeah,
pretty good though, pretty good.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
So all those movies you guys mentioned are definitely iconic
Boston movies.
Speaker 13 (35:38):
But I didn't hear Patriots.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Mentioned I mentioned it, which.
Speaker 25 (35:41):
I thought was a great movie.
Speaker 23 (35:43):
I think just what it symbolizes what it was, oh,
makes it that much better.
Speaker 25 (35:47):
Definitely can't forget that one.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
And it was written by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge,
who are both from here. Are Boston Strong. It was
based on that book.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
And we not only mentioned it, but Justin you mentioned
that your friend was connected somehow to the scene in Watertown.
Speaker 13 (35:59):
Yeah, out on my street, on Childs Street and Maldon
they shot that scene where they got him on the boat.
So my dad sent me video of the gunshots. You remember,
remember they had cornered and they were shooting gun everything. Yeah,
he sent me a video of that. Pretty interesting. Good
morning guys.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
How you doing today, Billy?
Speaker 5 (36:16):
When it comes to Boston movies, my favorite is The Town,
just like Justin and Billy. You can be my mister
six inches anytime you want.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yo.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
This is yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:28):
Did you get that reference?
Speaker 5 (36:29):
By the way, Yes, I actually just watched The Town
this weekend.
Speaker 13 (36:33):
There's a scene where John Hamm at the end approaches
Blake Lively at the bar and he pulls out the
twenty dollars bill, I believe would you say that is
six inches over and under under six point one four
inches exactly.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Clinck Lively was so miscast. I'll never get over that, dude.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
There was so much, so so much so I didn't
even know she was in it, well, the acts and
was not good.
Speaker 17 (37:00):
Like no, she was in like maybe seven or eighteen
and she played like you know, his like lover for
a little bit. But honestly, they could have picked somebody
from Boston and given her some lines and she would
have just done just as fine.
Speaker 13 (37:12):
Another interesting fact about the accents in the town is
Ben Affleck, obviously is from here, has a natural Boston accent.
Jeremy Renner did not, but his acting accent sounded better
than Vene.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
All right, Well that's it the top five moments of
the week. Hope you guys enjoyed. Thanks for hanging with
me again. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in
the Morning, and we've got something so exciting starting on Monday,
the Mega Match Game.
Speaker 15 (37:37):
That's right, it's not big, it's not.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Huge, it's mega and these prizes are just that, and
it's all starting at eight ten on Monday, But for now,
stick around because the Kiss Top thirty Countdown with Billy
and Justin is up next. Last week's number one did
get de throned, so somebody new is in that spot,
and we got some great throwbacks in there too, But
that's it for me, guys. Happy Father's Day, shout out
to my dead, and have a good one guys.
It's the best Avillian Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey guys, good morning, Happy Saturday. It's the best of
Billy and Lisa in the Morning. It's producer Riley and
I'm going to count down the top five moments from
number five to number one. And this one has been
a long time coming. We finally had Jason Michael from
WBZ News come into the studio where we talked to
him about so many things, from the weird weather to
his boyfriend's feud with the mayor of self and you
(00:26):
got to hear it.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
This is so cool.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
A lot of you might be new to the show,
don't know that Lisa and I every single morning, Monday
through Friday, right before seven o'clock, we go on WBZTV
with a little story, right lead.

So make sure you tune in every morning WDBZ News

who is now in studio with us right now with it.
Can I say boyfriend partner Brian Brian, Yeah, exist, he
(01:02):
is here. I gotta tell you Jason. The listeners have
been dying for you to get in here.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Good morning, it's the Mayor of the South Ben.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
I'm very excited Jason Michaels is coming on today. You
know I love him, But can he do something about
the weather for Saturday? Her Saturdays the Gay Pride parade
and it can't rain on the Gay Pride Parade. I've
been trying to get the committee to change it to Sunday,
but those bitches aren't going to it.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So make it beautiful Saturday.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
Because we love you, Jason Michaels, because you're a cutie
Juniper today.
Speaker 7 (01:35):
Yeah, oh my gosh, Wow Saturday.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I gotta ask you something. First of all, when did
you arrive at WBZTV.
Speaker 8 (01:44):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
I arrived in the fall of twenty twenty three. I
moved in September. It began my first day October tewond
of twenty.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So it was you, it was me.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Ever since the fall of twenty twenty three, the weather
has sucked here.
Speaker 8 (01:59):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (01:59):
Only you know I'm responsible for the first half of
the day, and you know I leave it to.
Speaker 10 (02:06):
My other cohorts for other times.
Speaker 9 (02:08):
But yes, you know, let's go back to the mayor
of the South End.
Speaker 8 (02:14):
Whatever happened to? It's raining?
Speaker 11 (02:15):
Men?
Speaker 8 (02:17):
Try great?
Speaker 12 (02:18):
Is this weekend?
Speaker 8 (02:19):
There any complaints there?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I think we had that. We played that with him
the other day.
Speaker 13 (02:24):
It's raining.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
I think, yeah, it might as well rain. Like your point,
let's might.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
As well rain. But congratulations, you just won two Emmy Awards.
Speaker 8 (02:37):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 13 (02:38):
I did.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
It was such an epic night.
Speaker 9 (02:40):
I was there with my colleagues and Paula Evans, She's
an absolute doll.
Speaker 10 (02:44):
She's our ray of sunshine.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
She also won that night as well, and every single
member of my weather team also won.
Speaker 13 (02:52):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (02:52):
Eric won two awards that night. He got two Emmys.
Speaker 9 (02:55):
Jacob wy Coffee also got two ms, and then I
walked away with two Emmys as well. You know, it's
it's that is a team that speaks to the breath
of talent, of intellect, of sound.
Speaker 10 (03:08):
Mine and it is truly an honor to work with
them every day.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Why is it you didn't bring the Emmys in with.
Speaker 9 (03:12):
You, Brian? Why isn't it that I didn't bring the Emmies?
You know, I dashed off this morning, and you know
I left.
Speaker 8 (03:20):
It to Pepper.
Speaker 10 (03:20):
Pepper's was responsible for that, but he chose this snooze.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
I used minus hood ornament, so I mean, I don't
go anywhere another one. It's a pendant. It just hangs
around my neck, you know.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
You know, I'll be honest with you guys here. It
is actually still on my kitchen table. I feel like
those emmys, those are my my starlit golden Girl. They're beautiful,
they are beautiful, They're weighted, they're heavy.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
I already named them.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh on your kitchen table, they.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
Are on my kitchen table.
Speaker 9 (03:52):
I feel like they need to just soak up the room.
They just you know, you work so hard, and you
move so many places. You're away from the people that
love you the most and are there to support you
the most, and you spend a lot of time alone,
and you know, climbing in this career.
Speaker 10 (04:07):
I just I just need to take it all in.
And I'm still taking it in.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I got to tell you a secret, right so with
my winn he shut it, shut it so my Emmy's
you know, so excited. I between you and me, I
have this bookcase built a wall length of bookcase in
the den, and I insisted that didn't have lights inside.
(04:33):
So when I come home I can walk in and
and the Emmys are nice, and.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know, I might want to consider that it is.
Speaker 12 (04:43):
For Dorothy and plants.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Hey, can I drag you guys into a conversation we
had earlier about non negotiables.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Let's go in a relationship.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Oh, okay, we're on trial, Brian.
Speaker 12 (04:54):
This is a good topic.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, Jason, do you have a non negotiable? Brian block yours?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
My goodness?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Well, I feel like.
Speaker 14 (05:02):
You need to keep going for before I pre commit
my non negotiables. Well, I would say I've kissed a
lot of frogs and maybe some toads. But what I
you know, I will say what I've found in Brian.
I have never had to even think about any sort
(05:22):
of non negotiables.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
He's perfect, he has been perfect. Yes, Brian, do you
have a non negotiable?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
They can't lie, they have to be honest.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, that's a good one. I'm very honest. Another topic
of conversation cake icing or no icing?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (05:40):
Icing?
Speaker 13 (05:40):
Please? Okay, I sing all the time, especially if it's
market baskets, icing all the.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Time from the basket to the casket. I'm just saying, wow,
So what is going on when you get this It's
like you were if you're a doctor, you go to
a house party, everybody says they have a pain, what's
going on with me? But everywhere you go you must
get asked, especially now with this weather is horrible.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What's going on?
Speaker 12 (06:07):
People are trying to plan things for the weekend.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
It has been quite horrible. It really honestly happened. And
you know, I do feel the pressure. I feel the
weight of it as well, and you know it.
Speaker 9 (06:15):
Is something that I do take with me every day
in terms of the commitment, the sort of authority that
I have over New England's weather along with my teammates there.
It is reminiscent I feel of twenty twenty three where
it was a very wet summer. It was an active
summer as well, and I will employ everyone to think
about the weather is connective tissue. If there's something's happening,
(06:37):
you know, across the world, it will affect us, and
I think that's likely what's happening right now. You normally
have sort of a ridge that allows for nice dry weather.
Speaker 13 (06:46):
You have high.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Pressure and control. What we've been dealing with.
Speaker 9 (06:49):
Here are these troughs of low pressure, just dumping rain
each and every sort of weekend, and it's just unfortunately
just been the unlucky straw we've been.
Speaker 12 (06:57):
Well, it continuing, it appears to continue, Wow for how long?
Speaker 9 (07:03):
However, however, I am taking it week by week. Okay,
I am taking it week by week.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yes, so it might be a good July fourth, July fourth, No,
I mean.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Now, Lisa, I wouldn't go that far.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, it should be swimming street.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Everybody has a non negotiable when it comes to relationships. Hey,
it's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in the Morning
counting down the top five moments of the week with you.
Speaker 15 (07:27):
Let's get into number four.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
This conversation started because Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans are
currently doing press but their new movie Materialists, and they
got asked what are some dating non negotiables that they have?
And we discussed some of ours, and then we went
to the phones.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Hey, Ray, good morning, and brainchew. What have you got
for a non negotiable?
Speaker 16 (07:45):
Hey, this might ruffle a lot of feathers, but I
can't pat vegans a good steak. You know it's going
to be rough dating that.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, yeah, dietary restrictions, Yeah.
Speaker 17 (07:58):
Looks like what we're having for dinner. You know, once
you get plut together, it's going to be a question
every night.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
It's hard and it can be hard, right if you're
if you're out dating and you have to go to
specific restaurants.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
If somebody is a serious vegan.
Speaker 17 (08:11):
Yeah, vegetarians easy, yes, they just don't have meat. But
vegans everything.
Speaker 13 (08:16):
Now, what do you do you go out to eat? Yeah,
that's what you do with when you with somebody. You're
not going to Chick fil a, No, that's well.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah, you have the kale salad man. Yeah, just the kale.
Speaker 13 (08:28):
That's it.
Speaker 12 (08:29):
That's it, all right.
Speaker 13 (08:30):
Where we're going next?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
There? Up next, we're.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Going vegan a new restaurant right in Kendall Square.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
It's called Plant Pub.
Speaker 13 (08:38):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I like that plant based Plant Pub.
Speaker 18 (08:41):
You know.
Speaker 13 (08:42):
I have had some vegan males that are pretty good, though.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I have to remember I did the Purple Carrot, they
remember the Tom Brady thing he did, and I had
the meal Delivery. Yeah, they were good, they were just
took a long time to make.
Speaker 17 (08:53):
I was going to say the impossible burger I had
from Burger Care. I got cheese on it, so I
guess that's vegan again.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I had a few vegan meals in Africa when I
went to Africa, and they were good.
Speaker 13 (09:06):
They tasted good, right, they're not bad.
Speaker 11 (09:08):
Oh no, not this topic again. Oh this is gollamie
ka Jimmy Dean sausage toes. I just know where Billy's
gonna go. It's gonna be all about the feet, the
disgusting feet. I'm gonna feel badly about myself all day.
In a hypothetical world, if I have a date of
Billy and you know, he took me out in his
boat and I took my shoes off to get, you know,
feel my feet on the deck of his boat, he'd
(09:30):
probably end up selling his boat.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
He might.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yeah, the bad feet are rubbing off on the You'll
never really, you won't be able to forget.
Speaker 13 (09:40):
Yeah, just burn the boat. Yeah.
Speaker 18 (09:42):
I could never date a mama's boy because you'll never
win an argument. And essentially he's married to his mother.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I could never do that.
Speaker 18 (09:53):
I don't want him to hate his mom, but I
could never date a mama's boy.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, that's another big one.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah, there's a fine line.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Right, It's like, I think you want a guy who
really loves his mother and respects his mother.
Speaker 12 (10:07):
That's really important.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Very important.
Speaker 13 (10:09):
There are also guys that are even subconsciously they don't
even know they're looking for their mother. Yes, when day
they want someone to take care of them.
Speaker 17 (10:17):
Yeah, there's a fine there's a very fine line between
being a good, respectable, loving son and getting weird.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't think I was ever looking for my mother.
Speaker 13 (10:26):
No, your mom didn't didn't cuddle you remember three and
a half packs a day.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I just wasn't my didn't you have bad feet?
Speaker 13 (10:35):
Well, your dad did too, he had the long nails.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No, my dad had smelly feet.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
My mom had jagged nails.
Speaker 17 (10:42):
Billy is like a social experiment about how your child
that affects you your entire life and never leaves you.
Speaker 13 (10:49):
But he could have went the other way. He could
have went into a life of crime or you know.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Someone like Billy. There's two ways you go.
Speaker 17 (10:57):
You either go right where your parents went or you
did the opposite because you don't want to live like that.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Andy.
Speaker 13 (11:03):
Yeah, Bill wasn't a mom's boy.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I never wanted to cuddle with mom because they smelled
like cigarettes. Wow, we're really opening up on the show
this morning.
Speaker 19 (11:15):
Boys, I agree with Riley. My brother is the youngest,
my mom is the youngest, and there is a very
unique sense of entitlement that comes with being the youngest
that I wouldn't want to put up with either. My
other two would be no hunting and must love dogs.
Speaker 20 (11:38):
And you would be surprised or.
Speaker 19 (11:41):
Maybe not how often those two hunter twine. So such
tricky one.
Speaker 13 (11:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
No, hunting's big for me too.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So you're not meeting a lot of gals, I don't
think so carrying a shotgun on the back.
Speaker 13 (11:58):
A lot of hunters have dogs.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Well that's that never made sense to him.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
Yeah, that's why they need the dog to help them
set out.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Oh, come on another way.
Speaker 13 (12:06):
I lived with a guy once and he was a
big hunter, and he had two beagles, and the beagles
are good at sniffing. You go out with him hunting
and come home with deer in his truck, you know,
hang them up in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
God, string it up.
Speaker 13 (12:20):
But it's you'd have the deer hanging in the backyard
with the two beagles there draining out.
Speaker 12 (12:27):
It's like there's a lotter grew up in Pennsylvania. There's
a lot of deer hunting in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 21 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Remember, would a hunter be a non negotiable for you?
Speaker 16 (12:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (12:35):
I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 13 (12:37):
I mean, it's not for me.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
It's not for me.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
Let's go to Jill and Ymouth.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Let's hey, Jill, let's go to you in Weymouth. Do
you have a non negotiable?
Speaker 22 (12:45):
I do. It would be nasty fingers as opposed to fingernails,
where if they're unkept, is when you're eating and someone
has like grease or something that drips down and gets
all in their fingers in your at dinner, that is
absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 17 (13:03):
Okay, all right, nasty fingers, well that was mine. Yeah,
she said, different than nails. It's about having nasty, gross
fingers when you're eating, Like.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Well, that's more about just being a sloppy eater. You know,
you've got sausage grease tripping.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Down your fingers, like you know who.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
That makes me think of, oh are you looking at me?
Why are you looking.
Speaker 13 (13:25):
At not your nails? You have beautiful nails. Yeah, but
I had this image when we go out to eat
as a show, she orders because it's on Billy's card,
a million advertisers, and you just see her hand reaching
across the table.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
My beautiful nails.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
We went to the North End before an event. We
were going for dinner before any of us sat down.
When he got there before everybody, and she had already
ordered five entrees for herself.
Speaker 17 (13:49):
You know what annoys me though, is that Justin loves
I do that because he wants to do it, but
wants me to do it, so he's greedy.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
He just takes a bite of each. Oh, I want
to taste everything in the venue.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Are you going to throw and stuff in?
Speaker 18 (14:00):
No?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
No, this is you see I would know this is Justin.
Speaker 17 (14:03):
So him and his wife Jen will get there around
the same time as me, right, and you throw what
you throw in?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
What you can throw some stuff in? Oh yeah, throw
this in two. So then I'll order.
Speaker 17 (14:10):
I'll be like, oh, and then I'll order things that
Justin asked me to throw in.
Speaker 13 (14:14):
Well, I'll eat the food if it's there.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (14:18):
Cheat day, Yeah, to cheat night. Let's go to Rachel
online too in Nashua.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I'm Rachel and Nashua. Give us a non negotiable. Hello,
by my.
Speaker 22 (14:28):
Non negotiable is somebody that smokes cannabis or cannabis every day?
Speaker 13 (14:34):
Yeah, OK. Yeah, what about sometimes it's just such a.
Speaker 22 (14:38):
Lack of motivation. Oh yeah'll get me wrong, Like we
can for a while sometimes, but every single day, I
feel like you're not really meeting the person.
Speaker 17 (14:50):
Yeah, no, every day, Like I think, you know, people
will take it to sleep or whatever, like that's one thing.
But if you're just doing it every day because you
need to escape from something, you need therapy.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
A lot of people do it.
Speaker 13 (14:59):
Yeah, it's legal. Yeah, I drive by a weed store
every day. I'm like, wow, look at that.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
No one else is a weird one for me. Vaping.
I imagine you go out on a date.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
All of a sudden, Hey guys, it's producer Riley from
Billy and Lisa in the Morning, continuing to count down
the top five moments of the week with you. Let's
get into number three. Apparently gen Z is causing some
havoc at bars, explaining to us Lisa, well.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
We look to gen Z because they are the youth
of America, right, this is what's going on. So they're
infuriating bartenders all over because they're not drinking as much.
They're not keeping open tabs on their cards. They like
to use Apple Pay, which is like tap and go,
and it's infuriating some bartenders.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Now, in their defense, I'll play devil's advocate. Could they
not be using their cards at a bar because they
may not have the money?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, that's it too, like they are really watching their finances.
Everything's so expensive. So if you think about it, if
you leave your card at the bar, we've all done it.
It's so easy to be like, oh, just add add
his drink at her drink to the tab, and then
all of a sudden, at the end of the night,
you've got like a two hundred and fifty dollars bar
tab and you're like, what just happened.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Well, that's why everybody's reluctant to be the first one
in with the card, because if you're leaving your car
answers are you're paying the tab.
Speaker 12 (16:19):
For everybody exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
But it's also widely known that you that's why they
always ask you, oh, do you want to keep the
tab open because they.
Speaker 12 (16:26):
Know you're going to run up the bill.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Yeah, yeah, sure, but it is aggravating. I could see
the bartender's point too. If you've got a busy bar
going on, you've got two deep, three deep at the
bar and everybody wants to give you a credit card
for another drink.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Like it's a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Go back to the machine, you have to enter the information,
and meanwhile you've got customers waiting.
Speaker 17 (16:45):
Yeah, it's so much more work, I would say as
a former server, especially nowadays, it's not hard to cloat
the tab out.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
You swipe the card, you give him a sign.
Speaker 17 (16:53):
I think as a consumer, I never leave my card
because like I'm like, okay, well if I go do something,
or because you're out at a bar where you're not
at the bar, because sometimes you go up and you're
not sitting at the bar, you're just going to the
bar you drink right because it's like an outdoor event,
or it's somewhere where you're not sitting where your card is.
I could go down like you know, twenty forty feet
(17:15):
and forget to come back, and then they close it
out and then they give themselves thirty percent.
Speaker 15 (17:20):
Well I just know, I just watch.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
You're the only one that show.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
I bartenders work there. Yeah, they're they're doing stuff for tables.
They're taking care of you sitting there, so like constantly
swiping the card for each individual run is like annoying.
Speaker 12 (17:37):
I can totally see the one.
Speaker 13 (17:38):
Stuff that they have to do. I know what you mean. Well,
producer Riley is the only gen z one here. I
wonder if her and her friends do they do this?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Oh you committed here for gen Zers.
Speaker 12 (17:48):
Also aren't drinking as much?
Speaker 5 (17:50):
Yeah, I act brother doesn't drink.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
That's like a big topic of conversation around like people
that like run wine company spirit companies.
Speaker 12 (17:58):
Because a lot of there's a lot of pot gummies like.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Popping around, Like a lot of them are doing edibles.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Right, Yeah, I don't really drink, but I love a
good edible.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
You sure do.
Speaker 13 (18:07):
And it's expensive to go out.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
It's expensive because one drink is no lie, twenty.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Dollars, twenty four depends anywhere you're.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Going, Like a cheap cocktail is fifteen dollars.
Speaker 12 (18:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So uh, But then again, you weren't a bartender.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I was a server. I did it all.
Speaker 12 (18:25):
It's different if you're a bartender like they were.
Speaker 18 (18:27):
No.
Speaker 17 (18:27):
I respect bartenders. I love bartenders. I have many friends
that are bartenders. I'm just saying that's not like you
can be annoyed because it's an extra step. But as
if I'm your server, your bartender, and it makes you
feel better for me to close your tabout every time. Okay, fine,
because you're probably if you're a good person, you're gonna
tip me every time.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Anyways.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, I been thinking of it this way though, if
you're if gen z ers are.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Out and they travel in groups a lot, right, if
they're out with four or five people, and you've got
four or five people now ordering a drink and giving
their card, and then the next person orders their drink
and they want to give the bartender, it's a hassle.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Yeah, I guess it's all relative.
Speaker 18 (19:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Oh, here's our resident gen z Or producer.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
We want to know, like how much you drink at
a bar, if anything.
Speaker 13 (19:09):
And if she ever opens a tab, or if your.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Friends are like closing out tabs after one drink.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah, all my friends close out a tab. I've never
had anybody be like, oh just put my card down.
Speaker 15 (19:20):
I've never met never friends.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Oh you got some cheap friends.
Speaker 12 (19:24):
Well yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
But also we're like we're more conscious of our money,
how much we're spending, how much we're drinking.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So okay, let's say you and Hannah and three or
four of your other friends are out of the bar,
right and you're standing around, you're hanging around at the bar.
So you would each order a drink and give your
own credit card for one drink, and then Hannah steps up,
she wants a drink, she gives her a card.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
That's how it works.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Sometimes, Like somebody will pay for me and I'll veno them. Yeah,
so like somebody will put like three drinks on their
card and then we'll just sort it between all of it.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
And if you're out to dinner, do you take it
one step further? And when the ill comes, everybody talks
about what they had. Well, don't forget I got the
extra apple sauce.
Speaker 15 (20:04):
I won't lie to you.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I do that.
Speaker 15 (20:06):
But it's because I don't make any money, Like I
don't want.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
To be I don't drink like when you said earlier,
So I don't want to be paying for part of
somebody's drink that I didn't have.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That's a good point. Yeah, that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Like if you were at a table with people, some
guy wants to order a very expensive bottle of wine
and you're like, yeah, you.
Speaker 13 (20:23):
Sit on this.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Yeah, that's what's always good if you have that issue.
Speaker 17 (20:27):
Ally, bring a little cash, bring tony Bucks and you're like, oh,
this is mind plus a tip.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
You know, there you go.
Speaker 13 (20:32):
Well, you also never know once you pull your card out,
you know, there's a lot of scams going on. You know,
people jump on your tab.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
Another thing that I realized is like the older generation
of people, they they keep tabs open for like multiple drinks.
Like the younger generation, like myself, we don't keep tabs
open for ourselves. Like I just buy one drink and
close the tab because I'm afraid of like some random
stranger being like, oh, can you put it on his tab?
Like I'm just so afraid of like more people coming
(20:58):
up and like randomly trying to get my job.
Speaker 10 (21:00):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
I honestly, I've never trusted it, and I've always been
like I'm not gonna leave my tab open, that I'm
not leaving my card there.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
It happened to me one night. It was a busy
night at a restaurant bar. That happened to me, and
I left my card And it's not like anybody scammed me,
but all of a sudden, for the rest of the night,
like the ten or twelve people within the area, the
bartender thought they were with me and he was putting
everybody's drinks on my card.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Here's a tip, guys.
Speaker 17 (21:25):
If you're out a bar and you see Billy coss
Is sitting across from you, just say, oh, it's on
the cost to tab.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
He won't even notice. He will not notice, He'll.
Speaker 17 (21:33):
Get the tag, he'll tip one hundred dollars and he'll
walk off.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Let's go back to the phones.
Speaker 13 (21:37):
When he got Jared on the phone, he's a bartender.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
All right, Jared, Okay, do you like it or do
you hate it?
Speaker 3 (21:44):
When the gen z ers are just giving a card
for one drink, it's terrible.
Speaker 23 (21:48):
Yeah, I'm gonna let you know right now. Like the
first thing they do, they come they say, I'm being responsible.
This is a responsible thing to do. You know what's
being responsible is not getting so drunk that you leave
your tab at the end of the night. How thought
we'd just be responsible and close out your tab? That
would be just one of many things. But then also
(22:10):
like at the end of the night, I'm sitting there
closing out Billy bud lights ten times in.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
His row for his dollar.
Speaker 23 (22:20):
Now I have like a stack of credit card slip
set I have to close at the end of the night,
each one of them. I'm sitting in front of the computer.
I got a bliss on my finger permitting this. Well serious,
it's absolutely It's so funny because you're like, oh, yeah, no,
(22:41):
we're being responsible. Half of the time they'll be like, no, no,
I don't want to set it up. I'm going to
close it out, and then they leave the cod in
the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Anyway, Hey guys, welcome back into the Top five Moments
of the week. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa
in the Morning, and we're already at number two, and
we've list of some of the most iconic Boston movies
and we're gonna share our favorites.
Speaker 15 (23:04):
But least, what's the reason we're talking about this.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Jaws is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this month. There's like
a lot of stuff going on in the vineyard all
over the place. So it got us to thinking, what
your most favorite movie ever filmed in Massachusetts? And there
are so many from recent movies like Coda to The
Perfect Storm, to Gone Baby, Gone to Manchester by the Sea,
(23:27):
the Town, Shutter Island, The Verdict, Mystic River, like It goes,
the Holdovers, Fever, pitch knives out.
Speaker 12 (23:36):
There's so many the Fighter, Oh.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, you could go on and on and oh boy.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
So I mean you can go. I'm stuck between two.
I can go my number one. Okay, what are your two?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
My two would be good Will Hunting. You gotta go
with yours. And my other one would be The Departed.
Speaker 13 (23:53):
Okay, mine's the Town.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Or The Town?
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Yeah, yeah, okay, those are great. I actually think Misstick River.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Though, it's a great great Kevin Bacon, Yeah.
Speaker 17 (24:01):
And like all the I mean they all have great scenes,
but like the backdrop of the river and like, I
don't know, I just said, there's so many great like
Boston moments in that movie.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Is that the one? Where is that my daughter?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Yeah? My daughter Sean Penn.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I have to say, from a comedy standpoint, I have
to go for the heat with most of McCarthy and
Sandra Bullock.
Speaker 13 (24:25):
That was filmed here.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Yes, all over the place, And I have to say
that's my go to if I just want like a
real laugh, Like I'll just put that movie on because
it's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 13 (24:36):
I did not know that was filmed here.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Yes, But another one is Ted for a comedy.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
That was a Boston movie.
Speaker 13 (24:42):
Yep, that was good too.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Patriot d Mark Wallburns.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Movie and also The Social Network which Ben Mezrich wrote
the book which spawned the movie. And that's one of
my top five most favorite movies because.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It all started on the Harvard campus.
Speaker 12 (24:57):
It did face.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You guys were the inventors of Facebook.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Inventive Facebook.
Speaker 13 (25:03):
You know that Patriots Day was filmed on the street
that I grew up on.
Speaker 24 (25:06):
Really what?
Speaker 13 (25:07):
Yeah, the chase, the chase scene in Watertown where they
got the marathon bomber, they used my street.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
When they found him the boat, hiding in the boat.
Speaker 13 (25:15):
Yeah, they used my street. My dad was right there
watching the whole farm.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
That's amazing.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
Yeah, pretty cool. Yeah, I'm stuck between the town and Goodwille.
I feel like Goodwille Hunting should be number one.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Yeah, it's a couple of guys who got the Academy
Award at a very young age.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Just everything worked for that movie.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
So I posted a poll yesterday and that came out
as number one was Hunting Over the Departed.
Speaker 13 (25:39):
Yeah, like you remember this scene with Robin Williams and
Matt Damon. I'll tell you the story afterward. Remember the
scene when she was nervous.
Speaker 20 (25:46):
Oh yeah, it's a wonderful line.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
So I shared that with you one night.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Was so loud the dog.
Speaker 13 (26:00):
So that scene was completely improvised by Robin Williams. It
was not in the script. Matt Damon or the cameraman
of the producers had no idea. Robin Williams improvised it
and it was so funny and in the moment that
the cameraman couldn't control his laughter. Right right, watch that
the camera is shaking.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Matt Damon talked about that recently during an interview.
Speaker 20 (26:21):
Yeah, Robin made everybody laugh, I mean, uncontrollable, and when
he would see people's energy flagging, he would just launch
into like ten minutes of stand up. He was the biggest,
you know, comedian in the world and actor in the world.
And that level of like I don't know, leadership, kind
of like an attention and love love coming from him
was just like, well, you know, everybody was ready to
(26:43):
like work for another twelve hours.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
I mean, he was just amazing. Yeah, you can see
it on YouTube if you if you look up the
farts scene. Yeah, you can see when Matt's Damon's laughing
the camera and they left it in.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Most of my favorite scenes and Goodwill Hunting were between
Robin Williams and Matt Damon. But my favorite scene of
the entire move in justin and I think you know
where I'm going with this. It's when they're on the
construction site and Matt Damon is meeting privately with Robin
Williams and he's thinking about what he wants to do
with his life and they're best friends. And every morning
(27:13):
Ben Affleck and his brother Casey would drive up to
Matt Damon's place to pick him up to go to.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Work, and he said, you know what I dream about? Yep,
do you have it there?
Speaker 13 (27:22):
I do.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I'm getting a chill. Go ahead and tell you what
I do.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Every day.
Speaker 13 (27:27):
I come by the house and I pick you up.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
We go out, we have a few drinks and fuel ass.
Speaker 13 (27:32):
And a scray. You know what the best part of
my day is for about ten seconds from when I
pull up to.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
The curve when I get to your door, Because I
think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
The door and you won't be there.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Don't go bye, I no see you light.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I know nothing just left.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
I have to say, if I had, if I had
to vote for one movie, it would be good Will Hunting.
Speaker 13 (27:52):
Definitely. I see Scott's online one he agrees with us.
We can talk to him real quick and look at it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Hey, good morning, Scott. What do you think.
Speaker 23 (28:00):
Guys?
Speaker 25 (28:00):
Yeah, I know, I I totally agree with everything he said. So,
I I mean, there's obviously been so many amazing movies
that have been filmed in Boston. I think where Goodwill
Hunting kind of has a special place in everyone's heart
that are you know, hardcore Bostonians that have been here
their whole life is you know, it's not only kind
of highlighted a different a lot of different areas in
(28:22):
uh in in Boston, but it also, you know, like
it launched their careers, and you know, it just and
I think because they got as successful as they've gotten,
they've then you know, shot other movies here. And I
was very lucky that after I graduated college, I worked
for ABC and I worked with a writer on Goodwill
(28:42):
Hunting and he had kind of told me that they
one of the reasons why they ended up casting Robin
Williams is because he is so notorious for improvising and
you know, really being able to play a scene out
and and apparently the script that the two of them
had originally submitted to Mirror Max, they ended up improvising
(29:04):
a lot of the scenes just because the stuff that
they got from Robin Williams was better than the original
script that they had submitted to Mirror Max. So yeah,
just again, a lot of great movies in Boston, but
I think that one will always have a special place
and a good in my.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Heart, really good call, by the way to get the
conversation going. By the way, a magical moment. Ben and
Matt got the Academy Award in Hollywood that night at
the Oscars, and that morning, in the middle of the
night in Los Angeles, they called this radio show to celebrate.
Speaker 13 (29:34):
First thing they said, do you like apple?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
All right, here we are the number one moment of
the week. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 15 (29:42):
In the morning.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
We just ran through our favorite movies set or filmed
in Boston, but we opened it up for discussions. So
let's hear what you guys think. My favorite movie ever.
Speaker 21 (29:51):
But also happened to be take place in Boston and
with filmed here as The Departed. It's so good, Like
I could watch it a million times and I'm not
a huge movie person, but it's just such a great movie.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Love it.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And you know what's funny, justin you were just talking
about your friend in the opening scene of Gone, Debbie Gane,
a friend of mine who was an actual state trooper,
was in the opening scene of The Departed.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
He's the cop with the battering ram breaking into the apartment.
Speaker 13 (30:17):
Oh, I got to rewatch that.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, Brian, No, it was not my friend, Brian and
Brian and Mitzi Fame.
Speaker 13 (30:24):
No, it wasn't. That's a classic in your unit.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That is a fact, all right.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
They knew everything, all right. There was a leak from
the inside. It's real man, smoke him out.
Speaker 25 (30:34):
Mmm.
Speaker 13 (30:35):
Loosely based on Whitey Bulger.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, as was this.
Speaker 19 (30:39):
Another great movie is Black Mass with Benjikumabatchi and Johnny Depp.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
I watched them filming that and Lynn.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
It was pretty awesome.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
They made it a middle of December scene in July
and it was so cool.
Speaker 17 (30:53):
I watched them film it in Squanham in Quinsey. Oh yeah,
they had because Weddy Bulger's girlfriend at the time back
when never they were there. She lived in Squanham, which
knows the neighborhood in Quincy On like the Dorchester line,
and they went to the actual house and filmed there
that she lived in.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
By the way, Black Mass would be in my top five.
It's not on the list. I don't see it.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
No, it's not even on that list.
Speaker 18 (31:16):
Mo.
Speaker 13 (31:16):
Yeah, wow, that's a Johnny Depp transformed me.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
This is a family and you gave it to me.
Speaker 11 (31:26):
Just like that.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
So I went to the Okay, so Kevin Weeks is
in Black Mass.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
It's about him.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
He came on the show for his book tour.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
I went to a sign on this show.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
Creepiest guy you'll ever meet, not creepy in you could
just look in his eyes and tell that he had
done some stuff. Nice guy. Yeah, I met him.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
I mean, is it nice? Relative?
Speaker 13 (31:50):
Well, So I went to the Black Mass premiere in
Boston Coolidge Corner, and I had a microphone and I
was trying to get an interview with Johnny Depp. Sure,
and so everybody, all the email Billy on a red carpet,
all the reporters are there. I knew I had to
yell something good. So as he's walking by. All the
reporters are yelling out with the microphone. So I yelled, Johnny,
(32:11):
I like to wear my girlfriend's underwear and I don't
know what to do, and he stopped.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 13 (32:16):
He looked at me and he took a step to
come towards me, and his publicism people were like, no,
we have to go. I was so close.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Now did you really like wearing between me?
Speaker 4 (32:28):
And to say a fun fact about black Mask that
I did not know that Dakota Fanning, I'm sorry, Dakota
Johnson is in black masks.
Speaker 15 (32:38):
I know that that's crazy.
Speaker 13 (32:40):
I have to rewatch that. Oh wow.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
My favorite comedy filmed filmed in Massachusetts is up.
Speaker 17 (32:48):
Oh yeah, they mall multiple malls, I.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
Think multiple malls.
Speaker 13 (32:57):
Yeah, oh wow. Yeah. We had Kevin James on the
show last year about Boston.
Speaker 16 (33:01):
I fell in love with Boston, my son was born there,
and then, uh, you know, it's just we I did
a bunch with Sadler there. You know, it's just the
greatest place to shoot. It really is great people, a
lot of fun, great city.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I gotta tell you, Mall Cup.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
The one scene in Mall Cup when he's having the
fist fight with the woman in the lingerie store legendary scene.
Speaker 17 (33:25):
He also filmed the Zoo here where he Kevin Kevin
what's his name, James?
Speaker 12 (33:31):
Yeah, it was the zook keeper at the Franklin Park Zoo.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (33:34):
Wow.
Speaker 17 (33:34):
And then one where he was he was a good
teacher who came a wrestler.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
He did it.
Speaker 17 (33:39):
He did it in Quincy because our high school band
was the band.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh really, yeah, I vaguely remember that movie.
Speaker 17 (33:46):
Yeah, he was like a teacher turned like sumo wrestler.
Speaker 5 (33:50):
Or something like that.
Speaker 13 (33:51):
Yeah, you should be writing these down to rewatch some
of these floors if you haven't seen them. Let's go
to Miranda online one.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Hey, Miranda, I give.

Oh yeah, that's a good one with Selma hiaccented.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yeah. Yes, yeah, almost ran into her car driving. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And most of that was shot in and around Marblehead.
And I had some friends in Marblehead who like lived
next door to houses that like they were renting houses
for the actors and everything.
Speaker 14 (34:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (34:24):
David Spade, Rob Schneider.
Speaker 13 (34:27):
Yeah, Sam, grown Ups Ye family does for sure, guys.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
I'm with Lisa.
Speaker 24 (34:31):
My favorite is the heat only because they filmed it
at my hospital. I thought they were filming a commercial
and was signs all up on a different fluicinge quite
during filming, and they were actually filming the heat there
and Sandra Melissa both took pictures with a bunch of
the nurses there and it's just one of my most
memorable and actually took pictures of myself at the fake
(34:53):
nurses station during the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
No, I got to tell you there was something about
the chemistry between Samdra Bullock and the listen.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
McCarthy, like they couldn't have nailed it better.
Speaker 13 (35:02):
The tewol that it's I haven't seen it. I actually
tried to pull my favorite scene when they're trying to interrogate.
Speaker 5 (35:08):
The drug girl too much swearing.
Speaker 13 (35:11):
It's too much. I enough time to edit it. Yeah,
get your face out of the powder of cocaine. It's
so good. Look it might not be the best movie ever.
Speaker 16 (35:22):
But when I think Boston movies, I got a hand
at the boon, Dog says.
Speaker 13 (35:27):
Oh, anybody's seen that years ago?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I think I did.
Speaker 13 (35:30):
Yeah, it was kind of a cult classic film. Yeah,
pretty good though, pretty good.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
So all those movies you guys mentioned are definitely iconic
Boston movies.
Speaker 13 (35:38):
But I didn't hear Patriots.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Mentioned I mentioned it, which.
Speaker 25 (35:41):
I thought was a great movie.
Speaker 23 (35:43):
I think just what it symbolizes what it was, oh,
makes it that much better.
Speaker 25 (35:47):
Definitely can't forget that one.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
And it was written by Casey Sherman and Dave Wedge,
who are both from here. Are Boston Strong. It was
based on that book.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
And we not only mentioned it, but Justin you mentioned
that your friend was connected somehow to the scene in Watertown.
Speaker 13 (35:59):
Yeah, out on my street, on Childs Street and Maldon
they shot that scene where they got him on the boat.
So my dad sent me video of the gunshots. You remember,
remember they had cornered and they were shooting gun everything. Yeah,
he sent me a video of that. Pretty interesting. Good
morning guys.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
How you doing today, Billy?
Speaker 5 (36:16):
When it comes to Boston movies, my favorite is The Town,
just like Justin and Billy. You can be my mister
six inches anytime you want.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yo.
Speaker 5 (36:25):
This is yeah.
Speaker 13 (36:28):
Did you get that reference?
Speaker 5 (36:29):
By the way, Yes, I actually just watched The Town
this weekend.
Speaker 13 (36:33):
There's a scene where John Hamm at the end approaches
Blake Lively at the bar and he pulls out the
twenty dollars bill, I believe would you say that is
six inches over and under under six point one four
inches exactly.
Speaker 12 (36:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Clinck Lively was so miscast. I'll never get over that, dude.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
There was so much, so so much so I didn't
even know she was in it, well, the acts and
was not good.
Speaker 17 (37:00):
Like no, she was in like maybe seven or eighteen
and she played like you know, his like lover for
a little bit. But honestly, they could have picked somebody
from Boston and given her some lines and she would
have just done just as fine.
Speaker 13 (37:12):
Another interesting fact about the accents in the town is
Ben Affleck, obviously is from here, has a natural Boston accent.
Jeremy Renner did not, but his acting accent sounded better
than Vene.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
All right, Well that's it the top five moments of
the week. Hope you guys enjoyed. Thanks for hanging with
me again. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in
the Morning, and we've got something so exciting starting on Monday,
the Mega Match Game.
Speaker 15 (37:37):
That's right, it's not big, it's not.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Huge, it's mega and these prizes are just that, and
it's all starting at eight ten on Monday, But for now,
stick around because the Kiss Top thirty Countdown with Billy
and Justin is up next. Last week's number one did
get de throned, so somebody new is in that spot,
and we got some great throwbacks in there too, But
that's it for me, guys. Happy Father's Day, shout out
to my dead, and have a good one guys.
