It's the best Avilion Lisa in the Morning, Good morning,
Happy Saturday, Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's the best of billion Lisa in the Morning, where
I produce a Riley countdown the top five moments of
the week for you. So Jianna actually sat in for
Lisa this week while she was on vacation, so if
you hear her voice, that is why. All right, so
let's get right into the number five moment. One of
our topic times from this week was all about getting
(00:27):
the ick on a date, and that's because Glenn Powell
actually admitted while on Hot Ones.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
That he has a little bit of a sweating issue.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
How's soaked?
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Am I?
Speaker 6 (00:37):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I can actually see the drip? You know. It's kind
of like a cartoon character.
Speaker 7 (00:43):
Yeah, it's a little, Yeah, it's a lot. There is
why I feel like if I'm going on a date
like this is why you gotta watch what you eat.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Like this is a super unsettling thing to be like
on a date.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
A girl WI seesus, she's like, this guy is those
Guy's not the guy who's going to protect me.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
In a bad situation. This is a week individual, you
do not procreate with this guy.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
So we should get some really good stories this morning.
It's about first date deal breakers.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Right, I mean, he's a sweater a big.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
There it is.
Speaker 8 (01:18):
Let's go to Emily online one in West Roxbury. Good morning, Emily,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
All right.
Speaker 9 (01:23):
So I went on a date with this guy.
Speaker 10 (01:25):
We had a great time, and so, you know, typical
after the.
Speaker 9 (01:29):
Date, I'm like online stocking him seeing what I can
find figure out. Not only did I find him online,
but I found out that he was married with children.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Oh my god, here, there's too much.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Like currently married, not he didn't have an ex wife,
he was currently married with children.
Speaker 10 (01:48):
He was currently married.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh boy, that's a nic for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I'm guessing that was the end of it, right, that
was the end of it.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
He called me and I told him off, and that
was it.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
What did he say when you busted him?
Speaker 11 (02:06):
Ah?
Speaker 9 (02:06):
He just was like, oh, you don't understand.
Speaker 10 (02:08):
And I said, you know, there's really nothing more.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That I need to understand.
Speaker 10 (02:12):
You're married, you have children.
Speaker 11 (02:13):
This is like so wrong, and don't ever call me again.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Okay, wait did you tell the wife?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (02:20):
I thought about it.
Speaker 9 (02:21):
I actually found their home phone number and I called
and like heard her on the voicemail and I just
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 12 (02:30):
You can bring myself.
Speaker 11 (02:31):
To do it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You can still find someone's home phone number, Like what.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
In the phone board, This looks like two thousand and six.
Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, okay, I'll say, hey, honey, can you grab me
the phone book.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Some people do have home phones.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
I know, well when people have home phone lines but
no phone hooked up anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, it's kind of outdated. But yeah, that's unfortunate. Family.
She was a side piece and she didn't you know, yeah,
and didn't know it.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Yeah, that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I know this is gonna be a strange one. But
my biggest turn off is like guys that are.
Speaker 13 (03:04):
Into like the WWE that collect all the figures and.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Like the signatures and stuff. I just I don't know.
Something about just screams immature. It reminds me of fever pitch,
like Jimmy Fallon at all the Red Sox stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Yeah yeah, the grown men like going to the garden
for WWE is like right, any buddy.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
Yeah, Like, who are these people that are like into wrestling?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
All right, I'm full of faith from wrestling.
Speaker 14 (03:28):
Clark and I have a very special guest with me
from the radio station Kiss one a week, Bill Costa, Jill,
can you give us a little back on what you've
thought of the matches so far?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Actually, I'm very impressed and I'm glad I came, and
it's great to be here because I've heard a lot
about the United States Wrestling.
Speaker 11 (03:45):
Federation and obviously it's been a fast growing federation.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Thanks Delly. Okay, let me ask you something. Why do
you always speed my voice up when you play? I
did not make me sound a lot more.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I did not.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
No, that's because way back in the day it was
on tape. Ah, it kind of speeds it up a
little bit. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't know you was
into wrestling.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I was invited to this event. It was a local
wrestling card, right, and I said, you're all come buy.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Ok, that's called fakey and make it Gianna.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I had a date last Saturday and it went pretty well,
but something just wasn't connecting. And then I was scrolling
on social media and I realized the guy looked just
like Elon Musk. I can't go on a date.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
I bet you actually had Elon money though, Oh yeah, yeah,
is any a trillion bought to be the first shows.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That's despicable.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Yeah he could.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
He could buy the entire country of Switzerland and still
have one hundred MILLI left.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah, and I think I saw something like he could
make forty dollars every second for eight hundred years.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That's so much money, it's insane.
Speaker 15 (04:54):
One of my biggest trade offs is when a guy
drinks too much on a first date.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It's just awkward.
Speaker 15 (04:59):
I up on a date once. It was in back Bay.
We met at a restaurant. It wasn't even a bar.
It was a restaurant, a nice one. And I'm from
the North Shore, so parking was tough for me. Finally
found a spot. I was about fifteen minutes late. Let
him know it was parking. And I got there and
he was like four drinks in and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It wasn't like a bar. It was a nice restaurant.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
And he stood up to hug me and like tripped.
Speaker 15 (05:20):
He was already like real tipsy.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I was like, this is gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
A long date.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Everybody in the bar are getting tipsy. Yeah, it's probably nervous.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I was gonna say, it's a nervous thing.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, he probably has one drink. Let me have another
you get fake courage. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You just know
it's your equilibrium. Yeah, and you know, why not gonna
get a second date.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I was got a date and a lady in another
booth was breastfeeding, and the guy asked me if it
bothered me, and I was like, no, it absolutely doesn't
bother me. Like I mean, I personally wouldn't do it,
just because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I'm self conscious. And he's like, well, if it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Bothers you, I will go over there and I will
ask her to stop.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
She has no right to do that if it bothers
other people.
Speaker 16 (05:59):
Yeah, I never I never called him back.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
What a lunatic.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah that's a little bit.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Yeah, definitely not lady, No, definitely not God.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Gianna the chicken parm has strike one. If she orders
a glass of red wine. Oh, Billy's running for the
door because he knows she's gonna spill it. You don't know, Okay,
First of all, I don't care. If we're out, Do
you get a glass of red wine? I think that's fine.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I do occasionally myself. No, you're not bringing it to
my house.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Should we go to the tape? Go ahead, Gianna, let's
go to the tape.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Leave the red wine home. You're destructive.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
That red wine that they're holding is going to end
up on your couch. Only red wine drinkers spill wine.
They're a precious bottle of red wine.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
They're long gone. When all of a sudden you're looking
for magical solutions, keep it in your glass.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Okay, okay, I'm not making any of that up. That
is real, and it continually happens to me. I stopped
them at the door.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Now, yeah, it really does. He really is onto something.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
There's some kind of curse with red wine and Billy
where it gets spilled at his house all the time.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It just happened recently.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Nobody ever spills white wine. Okay, you have notice that.
And when people bring white wine to the house.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
They don't make a big deal about it. If they're
bringing red wine, they have to stop at the entrance
and say, oh, just so you know, this is.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
A special wine. This is a wonderful port I got
from Italy. Shut up and put the car and put
the wine back in the car. I don't want it here.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I've spilled red wine in my own apartment.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I have see.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You're absolutely right. Nothing else a.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Few years ago, Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Right, the in laws came over, my mother in law,
my sister in law, and so my mother will comes
in the We didn't even have to kick off yet,
this was pregame. And so she sits down and gets
her glass of red wine. Before she even puts her
ass in the chair, right, the entire glass went all
over the brand new rock.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Have a nice day.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
So imagine Bill goes on a date and the woman
orders chicken palm and a red wine.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
It would over.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I mean, you'll walk out.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Remember we taught you about the Irish exit. Yes, you
would have Irish exited.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, I'd say I have massive diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
All right, Well, let's keep counting down the top five
moments of the week.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's producer Riley. This is number four. So Justin and
Gianna were.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Fully around on chat GPT and they've found out that
you can actually make it roast you. And let's just
say some of these roast gave Nikki Glazer a run
for her money.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Justin and I actually figured this out. You know, you
use chat ChiPT a ton, we all do, so it
knows you as a person. And Justin yesterday told me
to ask my chat GPT to roast me.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
So it's artificial intelligence. I mean, look, it's scary. Yes,
we use it. It is small, and it learns about
you and it remembers everything that you've ever searched. So
you can ask it to roast you and it will
take all the information, all the searches that you put in,
and it will roast you. And it's actually hilarious. Gianna,
(09:14):
I asked you to do yours. You want to do
yours first?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, I have some highlights because it really roasted right
before you novel.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
I want to say to people listening, if anyone is
up to it and use a chat ept, ask it
to roast you, and if you will, Louise a talkback
on what it says.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
But bad, Joe, I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Curious this says you say I hate drama, yet somehow
drama follows you like you've got a monthly subscription. You're
not the main character, You're the problem. That's really mean.
That actually hurt my feelings.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It is hurtful.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
This one's really accurate. I don't even understand how it
figured this out. You probably tell people you're in your
self care era, but your version of healing is buying
another forty eight dollars candle and scrolling through TikTok until
your eyeballs melt, And I do that.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Are you big on candles I bought?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I bought a candle this weekend and it was like
forty eight dollars and I didn't even tell it that.
I don't really, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You've never searched candles.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
No, and I bought a candle at Snowby.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
For the holidays or something to buy somebody a candle
as scented candle.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
No, definitely not. I've definitely never searched candles.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Frightening.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I think it's stalking me.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, it's crazy. Justin give me some of yours? Sure,
you want to I want to know.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And by the way, we need to tell listeners that
you can get varying levels of this.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
If you want it to be even meaner, you can.
You can.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
You can say be mean, b meaner, yeah, keep going,
be ruthless. Yeah anyway, Oh, just to be easy. The
Salem biohacker who treats his body like a tesla or
conmanent software update daily deadlifts, sure, because nothing says balanced
lifestyle like rotating muscle groups faster than the DJ spins tracks.
All while you're smart watch pings you with recovery scores
(10:56):
that read like a disappointed parents report card.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Can out, bro, You're.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Running a human clinical trial on yourself, and the control
group is every normal person who just eats the sandwich
without calculating its mitochondrial impact.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
What this could not be more accurate?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
It gets worse.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
How do they know about your watch?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
You probably searched it. You don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Keep preaching contrast therapy, king. Your skin's so confused. It
files taxes in both fahrenheit.
Speaker 16 (11:24):
And.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
One day you'll achieve peak optimization and the scent to
a higher plane, probably right after you roast your last
remaining untouched muscle fiber.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Okay, wow, the most aggressive level.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I feel awful about myself. Well, you know what.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Within thirty seconds I decided, okay, let me ask.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Are you gonna ask it? I?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Did you ask it to roast?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I need to know this.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
You want to pre read it? Are you just gonna go?
Speaker 7 (11:54):
No?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
No, no, I'll go with Itolo.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Billy Costa, the man who treats every local gala like
it's the Grammys, and every restaurant opening like it's the
met Gala. Your two thousand and nine gala was, in
fact your Grammy moment, and you've been chasing that ever since.
You'll love this one. Justin You'll call a place the
best restaurant in Boston only because they gave you a
(12:19):
free plate of calamari, and only because they remembered your
name once Billy Costa approved. Basically means they copped dessert.
You've interviewed everyone from popstars to local chefs.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
And somehow made every.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Every conversation about your suit, your sun or your weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
On the cape.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Wow, Wow, it nails it.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Oh and then it ends by saying, we're going to
make it even more savage or keep it Boston Radio Roach.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Night, Well write more savage. OK, let's keep going.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'm scared.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Wow, you believe it nailed it one hundred there.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
What's even crazier is Billy was telling me, like, you
haven't really used it yourself much.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
No so, not much. So.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
There was a restaurant that just open hot new spot
gianna in the South End called Capri. So Billy, you
know all these new spots that open up. He shoots
there so the day he had to shoot there, he's like,
I gotta go this new restaurant. It's supposed to be
like fantastic, but it's a new influencer hotspot. Here we go.
Another one next day comes in. He's like, dude, you
got to check out this place, Capri. It's the new hotspot.
(13:37):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Free I got more savage.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
It just popped, all right, Billy gloves off, pinky ring on,
Billy cost to boast Boston's most aggressively overconfident guy with
the microphone. You've been calling yourself a celebrity for so
long that people just started believing it out of sheer fatigue.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Okay, wait a minute. Some of it are competitive, but.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Oh you'll name drop restaurants like their A list celebrities, Miss.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Stroll, they name the restaurant. Yeah, they love me. They're
no billy.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
They tolerate you because you tip like it's still nineteen
ninety eight, and you'll plug them on air if they
feed your klamary again. With the klamari, you walk into
every restaurant like it's a red carpet and walk out
like you just gave an acceptance speech for most likely
to ask for a manager.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Well that is Billy though, right, every rud this is
the best.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
You gotta come.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
You gotta have the calamari.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Nailed it, nailed it, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Oh and Billy, let's be real. The only thing more
overdone than your galatox. By the way, I don't wear
tuxes is your reputation for being Boston Royalty. The throne
is made of press passes and the crowns are leftover.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Lobster bib.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I love it is better than yeah real.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So Jianna sat in with us this week while Lisa
was on vacation and we found out that she was
actually in a four month silent treatment stand off with
her dad because of a little personal upgrade that she
made that he just didn't agree with.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
This is moment number three. I just rekindled with my
dad this past weekend. We hadn't talked for four ish months,
so I've talked about it on Kiss Went Away. I
just got a recent surgery. I got a breast augmentation
with clarioplastic surgery.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Sure a partnership, Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Thanks, And it was something that he didn't agree with
in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Your father didn't want you getting your breast dogmented.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, which is totally understandable.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Can you stay your age?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I am going to be twenty eight in two weeks.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Okay, that's for reference then.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So my my issue was, I'm an adult. I'm going
to be thirty soon. I don't even live in the
house anymore. At what age do I really become an
adult without having a parent?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Tell me? But you did live in the house for
an extended time. I did.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I did. And he's done. Oh I love my father
to death. He's done. Well, girl, Yeah, he's given me everything.
But it was a really bad fight. I'm glad we
rekindled things, but it was it was not good.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
For four months is a long time, very well. Was
there a big fight and then silence on both ends?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Both ends. And my father and I are both probably
the most like stubborn people in the universe. So it
was like I kept comparing it to that Doctor Seuss
book where you had those little creatures like that met
in the middle of the road and they refused to
go around each other, and then for all eternity.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
That was basically which one of you cave in?
Speaker 7 (16:49):
First?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You were your dad.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I went to my parents' house on Halloween and inevitably
saw him for the first time in three and a
half four months, you.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Speak to him for four months, and you went to
the house on Halloween.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
This it's my favorite holiday. My sisters wanted me to
take them trick or treating. You know, I have two
little baby sisters, eight and nine years old.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So it all worked out well. On Halloween, it did, and.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
We just said, you know, let's chat, and we had
our little dinner sit down discussion, kind of agreed to disagree.
He still doesn't. He's not happy about what I did.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So you think you're too old to be a parent?
Did right now? So to speak to have dad make
your decision.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I would say so, especially if it's you know, I
didn't ask him to help me with the surgery in
any way, to ask him to help me financially. I
did something on my own as an almost thirty year old,
and I think it is what it is.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of my own and for me,
I have a daughter, there's three obviously much younger, but
I'm trying to put myself in that position. Twenty eight
just seems like you're not twenty one, even twenty one,
you're an adult, right, but twenty age.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, well you're a grown woman. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
See, I can't identify because my dad and I never
had a single conversation. But that's another story for some show. Yeah,
probably not this one.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
You learn more and more about that exactly as time
goes on.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Right, Yeah, you talk to them more in depth, if
that makes any sense.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
Yeah, So, Johanna, was he upset that you didn't ask
him first, or that you didn't run and buy him first.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
That was part of it.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
And then if you did, what would he upset?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So it's a lot. I wanted to tell him about it. Again,
it was for a partnership, so it was kind of
inevitable that I had to post about it. He's not
on Instagram. I posted somebody else told him about my
surgery before I did, which also made me.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Pretty weren't you talking about it on the Vibros show? Yes,
I was, Well, that's pretty much telling him.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
How do you tell your own father, Hey, dad, getting
my breasts done? It's a very awkward conversation. So that's
part of the reason I kind of delayed telling him.
It was also like no time in the day to
sit down with him and tell him because I didn't
want to tell him over text, and if I did
tell him even before I had posted about it, he
ill would have been angry.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Now what did he say when he saw them? I mean,
saw you for the first time?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
My goodness, gracious, I know what's coming anyway, So awkward,
But it's an awkward conversation.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
That's what this show, the billion Lisa Morning Show is about.
You say what's on your mind, talking about it. You know,
something pops into your mind. You just go there.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Good, Now, everything's great. Now I love my dad.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Okay, so you cleared the air with him.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
We cleared the air.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Okay, Now did you say.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
To him, you know, I think that I'm an adult
and that decisions that I make I want to be
treated as an adult.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Did just say, oh yeah, I did? And he said
you are still my little girl. So yeah, he doesn't
want to acknowledge the adults.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I think before the week is out, we should have
Dad on Eddie.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Come on with He's probably listening right now or getting
a million text messages from people.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Nice to hear his end of it. Why he thought
the way he thought, why his feelings were hurt.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Yeah, yeah, because I've never met your father, But I've
heard nothing but great things about him.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Great.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
We have a lot of people that know him in
his circle.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Eddie is your dad's name, Eddie g.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yeah, he's supposed like one of the best dudes ever. Yeah,
that's why I'm like, you know, I want to be critical,
but I'm like, I heard good things.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I know I love him, but lost focus on.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
The good side. You and your dad are back together.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
We're back together. We mintically made up.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
But it does beg the question when is a parent
parenting too much or too long? They should be the cutoff.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Yeah, and this is good for people that have young children,
you know, for the future. Yes, you know, as your
kids grow up, when's that cut off going to be?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Well?
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Shianna, you your mouth seems to get you in trouble
a lot. Oh god, she's so graid today there's no
filter with your dad.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
And the v BRO show and this and then this
morning with your Jade.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
He had low blood plates. I knew was coming.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You have a lot of explaining to do when you
go home.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm in trouble.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh boy, Hey guys, welcome back in to the best
of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's producer Riley.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I am counting them.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Down for you.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So this week, Lisa was on vacation, so Gianna filled
in and she actually sparked one of our topic times
because she was on a four month silent treatment standoff
with her father because she got a breast augmentation that
he just did not agree with. So she was asking
the question, at what point should parents kind of butt
out of their kids' lives.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
It's number two.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
The bottom line is you're twenty eight years old and
you're thinking. Your point was, look, dad, I'm twenty eight
years old. I should be able to make my own decisions. Yeah,
your dad disagreed. So for four months you didn't speak.
So let's continue the conversation. We'll go to Denise in Plymouth. Denise,
good morning, what's your story?
Speaker 17 (21:45):
Good morning.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
I'm calling to let you know that when my daughter
was about ten eleven, she had a bunch of biologies.
We got her tested for chemicals, and when the results came.
Speaker 17 (21:58):
Back, I found a great opportunity to like stick this
in there and say, oh my god, you are actually
allerg tobacco and that drug marijuana, Like you can't touch that,
you can't around that, and she took it to the
great like she took it like to college, her friends
(22:19):
around her, like everybody knew not to smoke near Britty
and sure enough. Now, mind you, my daughter is thirty two,
nine months pregnant. It's going to be a mother herself.
And a couple of years ago, we were at our
home having a family cookout and I was like, I
spilled the beatings and she's like, oh my god, and
(22:40):
the whole family was there and we were finally able.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
To tell her, well, you're really not allergic. But it
took her down a good path and she didn't touch
it in that cares.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, you lied to her about her allergies or non allergies.
Speaker 17 (22:55):
Are non allergies? I was, yeah, I would didn't want
drugs for crying out loud. Yeah, And people didn't. And
so here we.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Are, and you know, not for nothing, Gianna.
Speaker 17 (23:08):
Like, my daughter has put me in my place a
couple of times when i've you know, spoken too much,
and I respect that because that's the woman I raised.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
There you go, don tell you what to.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Do, all right, Thank you, mom, good story, good way
to get us started. I want to tell a nut
allergy story if I can. When my son Chris was
very young, we took him to have him tested and
the allergiest said, oh no, this is the worst I've
ever seen. Like he's got a severe nut allergy, Like
he could die right. Ask me if he ate nuts
for his entire life and never had an allergic reaction.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
So he can eat nuts no problem.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
His entire life, every nut on the planet, not a
single allergic reaction.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I just wanted to share that little thing on allergies.
That's nuts.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Yes, that's nuts again, No pun intended, Janna.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I completely sympathize with you.
Speaker 16 (23:58):
When I started getting touch who my mom did not
talk to me for a month and she told me,
you know, I brought you into this world. You know
how I feel about tattoos. And I had to have
the conversation with her that you know, I am an
adult now I can make that decision whether or not
I want to put something on my body, how I
want to change my body.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
That is not your decision.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
So we've had this conversation back and forth, but she
will never get it. So I completely like, ugh, it's
a struggle.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah, can you say how old your daughter was? I'm
just thinking it's all about a certain age. You should
be able to.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Make your own decision, Like, what is that age?
Speaker 8 (24:34):
I know you would think twenty one, you wouldn adult it,
but you're not really at an adulted twenty Not really.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I thought it was when I moved out of his house.
I'm like, yes, I'm.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Free from this show you were twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah, this was only like, but that is a measuring
stick beyond the age once you move out, you know,
because they always say, while.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
You're under my roof. Exactly, you weren't under his roof.
Anybody was under my own under your own roof, Yeah, exactly.
Good point.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
Having him breastfeeding both as my kids. I was no
longer with my ex and I could have surf you pancakes,
So I wanted implants. So for my thirtieth birthday, I
decided that's what I would get myself, and I had
my father drive me to and.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
From the appointment.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
At least I didn't ask Eddie to drive me anywhere.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yeah, by the way, is Eddie called in Gianna's dad.
We're hoping to get a call from Jiana's dad.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
From this to him, he told me to give him
a few.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
It's morning, he's booked and busy.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Okay, we'll see if we can get them all.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Let's try to get him. Is he going to go
on start yelling though, No, no, he won't yell again.
We squat, we squashed the beef.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Let's know, he's a connected guy. Is he gonna like
come after me if we say the wrong thing?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I can't confidently say yes or not.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Okay, but hopefully we'll get Eddie on your dad because
a long.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Time I've always heard that her dad, Eddie is the man,
nicest guy ever, will help anybody.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
But do not cross him, don't.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
That's why I've always heard about him.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Don't cross Eddie.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
So I'm just happy that the show is called the
Billy and Lisa Show. That Justin's name is not anywhere near.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Well, I've also got I've always already had the super
freak Drake her boyfriend coming after me.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Oh, he'll be coming soon, Hida.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
I just wanted to say, I went to school with
Eddie and Revere and he was no angel, so you
definitely have some the ground to stand on there.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Gianna. Well, speaking of Eddie, Gianna's dad, the dad that
she didn't speak to for four months because of her breasts.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Dad is on the phone.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
Good morning, Eddie, Good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Well, yeah, I don't know if you've been listening, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Is there anything you want to say before we start
grilling you with questions?
Speaker 11 (26:48):
No, you can jeel me first and then I'll speak, Okay.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
So Gianna tells the story that she had a breastol
augmentation recently and.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
That caused a bit of a her with you guys.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
Right, yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Yeah, Well you didn't speak for four months, Eddie. We're
in your corner, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Listen. She already threw her boyfriend under the bus this
and he said he had liked.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
More team Eddie. Eddie was billying just the team Eddie.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
You should be. I appreciate it though.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
So for our listeners, Eddie, what's your statement? What would
you like to say in terms of this old drama?
Speaker 11 (27:25):
I mean, being a father, It's like, I think it's
kind of like common sense for me to be as
upset as I was, and you know how far I
took it. I mean, it's not it's not because we
didn't talk for four months or you know the time
(27:45):
people say, how can you not talk to your daughter
for four months and so forth. I don't think the
time had anything to.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Do with it.
Speaker 11 (27:51):
I was very upset, you know, so many different circumstances
how I found out what she was doing, why she
was doing it, and so on and so forth, And
being a loving Karen father of my three beautiful children,
I think it was only natural for how I reacted
and how I acted upon as as we had our
(28:15):
little dinner and talked and she explained a little more
in detail the reasons why she did it and why
I was a little more understanding. But my first initial
reaction was like kind of like anger, frustrated, and I
didn't really know again the purpose of why she was
doing it, Nor did I think she needed to do anything,
(28:38):
Nor do I think any girl should do anything to
her body, because I just think people are just naturally
beautiful and you shouldn't touch your body if you do
have a problem. There's so many natural things you can
do to fix things. That's my opinion.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
And Eddie, you were more upset or equally upset that
you had to hear it secondhand and it was your
daughter's breasts.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
Yeah, that really upset me also, but not as much
as the fact that she was doing it, whether like
you know, whether whether whatever I had to say about it,
regardless seemed like you know, And that's another subject in itself,
you know, and talk about she's gonna she's she's going
to be twenty eight. She keeps saying, Oh, I'm almost thirty,
(29:22):
and you still had a lot of time before you thirty.
It's only going to be twenty eight. So again, I'm
her father. I don't care if she was thirty. I
don't care if she's twenty. You know, I still feel
because how much I care and love my kids, it's
only natural to react the way I did. And yeah,
(29:43):
that's my of course, and I would react if she
was forty.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
And again, part of your hurt, Dad, was that you
had to hear it secondhand. So Gianna, this might be
a perfect time to tell your dad about the Brazilian
butt list.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
My dad, that's not happen.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I love you all right here it is the number
one moment of the week. We had a reality TV
show icon, John Taffer from Bar Rescue live in studio,
and he was actually giving us some inside secrets to
what it's like filming Bar Rescue.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What can you call here to.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Do every day because this can't be your result.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
This can't be you what your bet.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Please tell me, just like you know what your you bet.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
John, But this is you at your best, Billy. I'm
doing my best. But man, you are larger than life.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
As they say, Bar Rescue is such such a good show.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
We have another clip for you alson from Attleborough.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And this isn't a question, but I just want to
say that during the pandemic, I would watch hours upon
hours of bar Rescue every single day, and so I
just want to thank.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
John for bringing me a little bit of joy and
those crazy days of isolation.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Gianna, you were watching with your boyfriend Drake last night
and you said to John you called the show something.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Our comfort show. His name is Jake, by the way,
for show it's our comfort show. He put it on
last night without even knowing that you were coming in
this morning.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
So he was flabbergasted when.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I told her you were set up for today.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I was set up for today.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
John. It's always good to see it was a two
years ago already that you.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Were last year. Billy. It's been a crazy year for me,
but it's always good to see you. My friend.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
This is great John. By the way, he's back in Boston.
He's celebrating his new bourbon Brown.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Butter bourbon you happen to bring anyway, we did Morning
Come on Time on the Billy and leads the show.
I got to tell you, watching the show makes me
dizzy because I can't even imagine how much production goes
into bar rescue.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Yeah you know, I was. I was mentioning briefly to
you earlier that you know, we traveled the crew of
about fifty seven and so it's five trucks. When we
go to a city. We have to do three bars
in each city to make the economics work because it's
so expensive.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
To bring it.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Everybody in. Once we do that first night, I show
up at about six o'clock at night. I get it
literally about a sixty second briefing this John and George
are in debt, this amount, they're ready to kill each other,
blah blah blah, they're losing such amount of money. I
go in and do recon. I don't know what's going
to happen till I go in there building. I've never
met these people. I've never been in this place.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Some of them as all real down. Yeah, so it's
all real.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
I'm not ahead of you, and I think that's why
I borrow the rest of your successful I'm finding it out
when you're finding So when recon ends, what people don't
know is I take all the employees, I put them
all in vans in the parking lot, and I designed
the bar that night. So I'm given the demographic report,
a competitive report. I look at my verticals, my horizontals.
I don't know how many sports bars are in the area,
(32:42):
how many this are in the area, how many of
that in the era. So I come up with the
concept that night. The next morning when we show up,
what you see on television is training and stress test.
On day two, what you don't see is we're approving
the barstools, the wallpapers were putting together.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Say you've got to work with interior designers.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
I'm in the middle of every nothing happens that I'm
unaware of.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Do you have your own interior designers? Of trouble with you?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I do.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
I have a designer we call an art director, and
I have a production team of about twelve just in
the art department for remodel. So then what will happen
is at the end of day two. All the logos
are the signed companies, the recipes and the food orders
and the beverage orders, the furniture's ordered. Here's a little secret.
If you look at Bar Rescue, the barstools almost never
(33:25):
match because when you need sixty barstools overnight, you can
only get twelve of this. Six of these. Nine of those,
you can't get sixty at the same one.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Inside stuff.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Now look at the episodes, you'll see I try to
put the yellow ones on one side and the green
on the other, or I mix them up. I try
to make it make sense. But when you're remodeling it
and that quickly, you deal with what you get. So
at the end of stress test, everybody goes home, they're
not allowed to come back to the bar, and we
start construction. So we build it the night of day
two all day day three. That's why we train off
(33:58):
site Billy, because we're building it on site, So we
train them at another location, and then the fourth day,
that afternoon we reveal it to them. So we do
build it in thirty six hours. And what you see
in Bar Rescue is pretty much day one, day two,
day three, day four as it happens.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
But here's the deal.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
You also have to play the part of a family
therapist alive because I've watched a lot of episodes and
it seems like the family owned restaurants or bars or whatever.
It seems like most of the families have one failed
member that's just screwing up the whole thing, and you've
got to.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Sit down with that person, sit down with the family,
make it all work.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
And a lot of times you'll give the failed member
more responsibility. Yes, but you have to make sure that
everybody's on board with that.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Well, you know, when somebody isn't caring and networking, it
can be a lot of reasons, and I believe I
need to find the primal reason. What is the primal
instinct that's causing them to shut down?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, it could be lack of pride.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
It could be that somebody is stifling them, They don't
have confident. What the heck is it that's causing them
to do that. Yeah, I got to figure that out,
and I got no time to do it. So that's
the trick. Once I find out what it is that's
causing them to do it. Lack of motivation because he
felt unimportant made him feel important.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Have you ever had to fire a family member?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (35:16):
Absolutely? And you know what I tell families. You know,
in the business, you're not a family, You're a team.
You see, families protect each other in weakness. Little Johnny's trying.
You have little Johnny a break. Little Johnny doesn't feel
good today. Right, that's a family. You protect each other weakness.
That's exactly what you don't want in a business. So
I say, be a family outside inside, be a team.
If you strike out, you get benched, right, Billy, Yeah, sure,
(35:39):
big difference in the family. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
If you were to think of all the places you've
done and revamped and everything in families and bar owners
that you've met and spent time with, is there one
that stands out that whenever you're hanging out with somebody
at a bar having some of your brown butter bourbon,
that you say, you won't believe the worst thing that
ever happened to me, the worst place I had to do.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Is there one?
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Yeah, there's there's one that always strikes me as the
most powerful. You know, spirits on Bourbon is a very
successful rescue. They made millions and millions of dollars. It's
a great story, but it's not a family, it's two partners.
There was a family in South Carolina. They owned a
bar called Characters. You might remember this one. And in Characters,
they had their whole staff in like the most ridiculous
(36:26):
Halloween style costumes in the world. One of them was
Marilyn Monroe and another was Burt Reynolds. And and it
was just so tacky and awful. And there was a
daughter who cried all day every day because her brother
just beat the hell out of her because she couldn't
do anything right. And the parents were stuck in this
awful situation. That was Charlie, A Helen Guy Andrea Yes,
(36:49):
and Alexander was their last name. And I put in
moon Runners based it on the original days of Moonshine.
Oh yeah, they would go and they would do it
during the darkness of the moon is when they would
bring the moonshine down the mountain and stuff. We put
it together and we fixed the family along the process. Wow,
and the daughter's life dramatically changed. The brother respected the daughter,
(37:12):
the parents were just enthralled by the entire thing. Now
I can tell them I communicate with them often. They
just opened two new locations at the same time. Good
for them, and they're doing terrific. And when you fix
a family, Billy, it feels so good. I mean the
bricks and mortar building a bar. Yeah, that's great, But
that's not why I do it. Yeah, you know, I
do it because I want to look in their eyes
(37:33):
and feel like I made a difference to somebody or
some family. And that's really a powerful thing to that.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Well, the minute we said you were going to have
you on, we've been getting talkbacks and we've been getting calls.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
People want to talk to John Taffer. We get some
right here.
Speaker 13 (37:45):
Hi, John, big fan of yours. Your show is always
on at my house every Sunday. You're yelling, brings me joy.
I have a question for you. What would you say
the grossest thing you've ever seen an employee do before think,
oh oh boy.
Speaker 7 (37:59):
There's a couple.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
I want to be there's a clean show. But I
found a used piece of sexual apparatus behind the bar once.
That was a shocker. I went in to do recon
in the bar in Austin, Texas called Headhunters, and I
did recont with my wife and she was wearing open
toe heels and the cockroaches were walking.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Across our feet, all on her.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
And we had a shut down production. It had a
Class five infestation. We had a shut down production tent,
the building fumigated or you know, fogg it out and
then go back in. And it was a Class five infestation.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
And now you've got to deal with the town and
with permitting, and you've got to clean it up and
have it reinspected.
Speaker 4 (38:42):
Oh my god.
Speaker 7 (38:43):
And we have a production schedule, and now we're behind
in schedule, so the next bar has to push back
two weeks and then But you know, that was a
pretty disgusting one.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
You know what you do?
Speaker 7 (38:50):
It is another one.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
We can't back and have some brown butter bourbon.
Speaker 7 (38:53):
That's what I shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
Well, you're not going to drink that, are you. He
opened the bottle Gianna. He can't drink that on the air.
He got drunk on one step. Okay, there there we go.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Oh he's doing it.
Speaker 4 (39:05):
Oh we're doomed it good stuff, delicious right. Oh, it
almost made me swear on the air for the first time. Man,
brown butter, get some color in your face.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Now, well that's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
For this week's best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning,
it's producer Rally. Thanks for hanging with me while I

It's the best Avilion Lisa in the Morning, Good morning,
Happy Saturday, Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's the best of billion Lisa in the Morning, where
I produce a Riley countdown the top five moments of
the week for you. So Jianna actually sat in for
Lisa this week while she was on vacation, so if
you hear her voice, that is why. All right, so
let's get right into the number five moment. One of
our topic times from this week was all about getting
(00:27):
the ick on a date, and that's because Glenn Powell
actually admitted while on Hot Ones.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
That he has a little bit of a sweating issue.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
How's soaked?
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Am I?
Speaker 6 (00:37):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I can actually see the drip? You know. It's kind
of like a cartoon character.
Speaker 7 (00:43):
Yeah, it's a little, Yeah, it's a lot. There is
why I feel like if I'm going on a date
like this is why you gotta watch what you eat.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Like this is a super unsettling thing to be like
on a date.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
A girl WI seesus, she's like, this guy is those
Guy's not the guy who's going to protect me.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
In a bad situation. This is a week individual, you
do not procreate with this guy.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
So we should get some really good stories this morning.
It's about first date deal breakers.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Right, I mean, he's a sweater a big.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
There it is.
Speaker 8 (01:18):
Let's go to Emily online one in West Roxbury. Good morning, Emily,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
All right.
Speaker 9 (01:23):
So I went on a date with this guy.
Speaker 10 (01:25):
We had a great time, and so, you know, typical
after the.
Speaker 9 (01:29):
Date, I'm like online stocking him seeing what I can
find figure out. Not only did I find him online,
but I found out that he was married with children.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Oh my god, here, there's too much.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Like currently married, not he didn't have an ex wife,
he was currently married with children.
Speaker 10 (01:48):
He was currently married.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh boy, that's a nic for sure.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I'm guessing that was the end of it, right, that
was the end of it.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
He called me and I told him off, and that
was it.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
What did he say when you busted him?
Speaker 11 (02:06):
Ah?
Speaker 9 (02:06):
He just was like, oh, you don't understand.
Speaker 10 (02:08):
And I said, you know, there's really nothing more.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That I need to understand.
Speaker 10 (02:12):
You're married, you have children.
Speaker 11 (02:13):
This is like so wrong, and don't ever call me again.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Okay, wait did you tell the wife?
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (02:20):
I thought about it.
Speaker 9 (02:21):
I actually found their home phone number and I called
and like heard her on the voicemail and I just
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 12 (02:30):
You can bring myself.
Speaker 11 (02:31):
To do it.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
You can still find someone's home phone number, Like what.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
In the phone board, This looks like two thousand and six.
Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, okay, I'll say, hey, honey, can you grab me
the phone book.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Some people do have home phones.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
I know, well when people have home phone lines but
no phone hooked up anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, it's kind of outdated. But yeah, that's unfortunate. Family.
She was a side piece and she didn't you know, yeah,
and didn't know it.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Yeah, that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I know this is gonna be a strange one. But
my biggest turn off is like guys that are.
Speaker 13 (03:04):
Into like the WWE that collect all the figures and.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Like the signatures and stuff. I just I don't know.
Something about just screams immature. It reminds me of fever pitch,
like Jimmy Fallon at all the Red Sox stuff.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Yeah yeah, the grown men like going to the garden
for WWE is like right, any buddy.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
Yeah, Like, who are these people that are like into wrestling?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
You know?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
All right, I'm full of faith from wrestling.
Speaker 14 (03:28):
Clark and I have a very special guest with me
from the radio station Kiss one a week, Bill Costa, Jill,
can you give us a little back on what you've
thought of the matches so far?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Actually, I'm very impressed and I'm glad I came, and
it's great to be here because I've heard a lot
about the United States Wrestling.
Speaker 11 (03:45):
Federation and obviously it's been a fast growing federation.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Thanks Delly. Okay, let me ask you something. Why do
you always speed my voice up when you play? I
did not make me sound a lot more.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I did not.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
No, that's because way back in the day it was
on tape. Ah, it kind of speeds it up a
little bit. Yeah, I didn't. I didn't know you was
into wrestling.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I wasn't.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I was invited to this event. It was a local
wrestling card, right, and I said, you're all come buy.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Ok, that's called fakey and make it Gianna.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I had a date last Saturday and it went pretty well,
but something just wasn't connecting. And then I was scrolling
on social media and I realized the guy looked just
like Elon Musk. I can't go on a date.
Speaker 8 (04:31):
I bet you actually had Elon money though, Oh yeah, yeah,
is any a trillion bought to be the first shows.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That's despicable.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Yeah he could.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
He could buy the entire country of Switzerland and still
have one hundred MILLI left.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah, and I think I saw something like he could
make forty dollars every second for eight hundred years.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That's so much money, it's insane.
Speaker 15 (04:54):
One of my biggest trade offs is when a guy
drinks too much on a first date.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It's just awkward.
Speaker 15 (04:59):
I up on a date once. It was in back Bay.
We met at a restaurant. It wasn't even a bar.
It was a restaurant, a nice one. And I'm from
the North Shore, so parking was tough for me. Finally
found a spot. I was about fifteen minutes late. Let
him know it was parking. And I got there and
he was like four drinks in and.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It wasn't like a bar. It was a nice restaurant.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
And he stood up to hug me and like tripped.
Speaker 15 (05:20):
He was already like real tipsy.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I was like, this is gonna be.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
A long date.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Everybody in the bar are getting tipsy. Yeah, it's probably nervous.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I was gonna say, it's a nervous thing.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, he probably has one drink. Let me have another
you get fake courage. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You just know
it's your equilibrium. Yeah, and you know, why not gonna
get a second date.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I was got a date and a lady in another
booth was breastfeeding, and the guy asked me if it
bothered me, and I was like, no, it absolutely doesn't
bother me. Like I mean, I personally wouldn't do it,
just because I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I'm self conscious. And he's like, well, if it.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Bothers you, I will go over there and I will
ask her to stop.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
She has no right to do that if it bothers
other people.
Speaker 16 (05:59):
Yeah, I never I never called him back.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
What a lunatic.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Yeah that's a little bit.
Speaker 8 (06:03):
Yeah, definitely not lady, No, definitely not God.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Gianna the chicken parm has strike one. If she orders
a glass of red wine. Oh, Billy's running for the
door because he knows she's gonna spill it. You don't know, Okay,
First of all, I don't care. If we're out, Do
you get a glass of red wine? I think that's fine.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I do occasionally myself. No, you're not bringing it to
my house.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Should we go to the tape? Go ahead, Gianna, let's
go to the tape.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Leave the red wine home. You're destructive.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
That red wine that they're holding is going to end
up on your couch. Only red wine drinkers spill wine.
They're a precious bottle of red wine.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
They're long gone. When all of a sudden you're looking
for magical solutions, keep it in your glass.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Okay, okay, I'm not making any of that up. That
is real, and it continually happens to me. I stopped
them at the door.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Now, yeah, it really does. He really is onto something.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
There's some kind of curse with red wine and Billy
where it gets spilled at his house all the time.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It just happened recently.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
Nobody ever spills white wine. Okay, you have notice that.
And when people bring white wine to the house.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
They don't make a big deal about it. If they're
bringing red wine, they have to stop at the entrance
and say, oh, just so you know, this is.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
A special wine. This is a wonderful port I got
from Italy. Shut up and put the car and put
the wine back in the car. I don't want it here.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I've spilled red wine in my own apartment.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I have see.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You're absolutely right. Nothing else a.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Few years ago, Super Bowl Sunday.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Right, the in laws came over, my mother in law,
my sister in law, and so my mother will comes
in the We didn't even have to kick off yet,
this was pregame. And so she sits down and gets
her glass of red wine. Before she even puts her
ass in the chair, right, the entire glass went all
over the brand new rock.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Have a nice day.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
So imagine Bill goes on a date and the woman
orders chicken palm and a red wine.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
It would over.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I mean, you'll walk out.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Remember we taught you about the Irish exit. Yes, you
would have Irish exited.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Yeah, I'd say I have massive diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
All right, Well, let's keep counting down the top five
moments of the week.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
It's producer Riley. This is number four. So Justin and
Gianna were.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Fully around on chat GPT and they've found out that
you can actually make it roast you. And let's just
say some of these roast gave Nikki Glazer a run
for her money.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Justin and I actually figured this out. You know, you
use chat ChiPT a ton, we all do, so it
knows you as a person. And Justin yesterday told me
to ask my chat GPT to roast me.
Speaker 8 (08:54):
So it's artificial intelligence. I mean, look, it's scary. Yes,
we use it. It is small, and it learns about
you and it remembers everything that you've ever searched. So
you can ask it to roast you and it will
take all the information, all the searches that you put in,
and it will roast you. And it's actually hilarious. Gianna,
(09:14):
I asked you to do yours. You want to do
yours first?
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, I have some highlights because it really roasted right
before you novel.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
I want to say to people listening, if anyone is
up to it and use a chat ept, ask it
to roast you, and if you will, Louise a talkback
on what it says.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
But bad, Joe, I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Curious this says you say I hate drama, yet somehow
drama follows you like you've got a monthly subscription. You're
not the main character, You're the problem. That's really mean.
That actually hurt my feelings.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It is hurtful.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
This one's really accurate. I don't even understand how it
figured this out. You probably tell people you're in your
self care era, but your version of healing is buying
another forty eight dollars candle and scrolling through TikTok until
your eyeballs melt, And I do that.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Are you big on candles I bought?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I bought a candle this weekend and it was like
forty eight dollars and I didn't even tell it that.
I don't really, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You've never searched candles.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
No, and I bought a candle at Snowby.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
For the holidays or something to buy somebody a candle
as scented candle.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
No, definitely not. I've definitely never searched candles.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Frightening.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I think it's stalking me.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Yeah, it's crazy. Justin give me some of yours? Sure,
you want to I want to know.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
And by the way, we need to tell listeners that
you can get varying levels of this.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
If you want it to be even meaner, you can.
You can.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
You can say be mean, b meaner, yeah, keep going,
be ruthless. Yeah anyway, Oh, just to be easy. The
Salem biohacker who treats his body like a tesla or
conmanent software update daily deadlifts, sure, because nothing says balanced
lifestyle like rotating muscle groups faster than the DJ spins tracks.
All while you're smart watch pings you with recovery scores
(10:56):
that read like a disappointed parents report card.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Can out, bro, You're.
Speaker 8 (11:01):
Running a human clinical trial on yourself, and the control
group is every normal person who just eats the sandwich
without calculating its mitochondrial impact.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
What this could not be more accurate?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
It gets worse.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
How do they know about your watch?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (11:16):
You probably searched it. You don't know.
Speaker 8 (11:18):
Keep preaching contrast therapy, king. Your skin's so confused. It
files taxes in both fahrenheit.
Speaker 16 (11:24):
And.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
One day you'll achieve peak optimization and the scent to
a higher plane, probably right after you roast your last
remaining untouched muscle fiber.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Okay, wow, the most aggressive level.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
I feel awful about myself. Well, you know what.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Within thirty seconds I decided, okay, let me ask.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Are you gonna ask it? I?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Did you ask it to roast?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I need to know this.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
You want to pre read it? Are you just gonna go?
Speaker 7 (11:54):
No?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
No, no, I'll go with Itolo.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Billy Costa, the man who treats every local gala like
it's the Grammys, and every restaurant opening like it's the
met Gala. Your two thousand and nine gala was, in
fact your Grammy moment, and you've been chasing that ever since.
You'll love this one. Justin You'll call a place the
best restaurant in Boston only because they gave you a
(12:19):
free plate of calamari, and only because they remembered your
name once Billy Costa approved. Basically means they copped dessert.
You've interviewed everyone from popstars to local chefs.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
And somehow made every.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
Every conversation about your suit, your sun or your weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
On the cape.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Wow, Wow, it nails it.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Oh and then it ends by saying, we're going to
make it even more savage or keep it Boston Radio Roach.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
Night, Well write more savage. OK, let's keep going.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
It's great.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'm scared.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Wow, you believe it nailed it one hundred there.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
What's even crazier is Billy was telling me, like, you
haven't really used it yourself much.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
No so, not much. So.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
There was a restaurant that just open hot new spot
gianna in the South End called Capri. So Billy, you
know all these new spots that open up. He shoots
there so the day he had to shoot there, he's like,
I gotta go this new restaurant. It's supposed to be
like fantastic, but it's a new influencer hotspot. Here we go.
Another one next day comes in. He's like, dude, you
got to check out this place, Capri. It's the new hotspot.
(13:37):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Free I got more savage.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
It just popped, all right, Billy gloves off, pinky ring on,
Billy cost to boast Boston's most aggressively overconfident guy with
the microphone. You've been calling yourself a celebrity for so
long that people just started believing it out of sheer fatigue.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Okay, wait a minute. Some of it are competitive, but.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Oh you'll name drop restaurants like their A list celebrities, Miss.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Stroll, they name the restaurant. Yeah, they love me. They're
no billy.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
They tolerate you because you tip like it's still nineteen
ninety eight, and you'll plug them on air if they
feed your klamary again. With the klamari, you walk into
every restaurant like it's a red carpet and walk out
like you just gave an acceptance speech for most likely
to ask for a manager.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Well that is Billy though, right, every rud this is
the best.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
You gotta come.
Speaker 6 (14:36):
You gotta have the calamari.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Nailed it, nailed it, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Oh and Billy, let's be real. The only thing more
overdone than your galatox. By the way, I don't wear
tuxes is your reputation for being Boston Royalty. The throne
is made of press passes and the crowns are leftover.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Lobster bib.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
I love it is better than yeah real.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So Jianna sat in with us this week while Lisa
was on vacation and we found out that she was
actually in a four month silent treatment stand off with
her dad because of a little personal upgrade that she
made that he just didn't agree with.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
This is moment number three. I just rekindled with my
dad this past weekend. We hadn't talked for four ish months,
so I've talked about it on Kiss Went Away. I
just got a recent surgery. I got a breast augmentation
with clarioplastic surgery.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Sure a partnership, Yeah, very nice.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Thanks, And it was something that he didn't agree with
in the beginning.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Your father didn't want you getting your breast dogmented.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, which is totally understandable.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Can you stay your age?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
I am going to be twenty eight in two weeks.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Okay, that's for reference then.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
So my my issue was, I'm an adult. I'm going
to be thirty soon. I don't even live in the
house anymore. At what age do I really become an
adult without having a parent?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Tell me? But you did live in the house for
an extended time. I did.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I did. And he's done. Oh I love my father
to death. He's done. Well, girl, Yeah, he's given me everything.
But it was a really bad fight. I'm glad we
rekindled things, but it was it was not good.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
For four months is a long time, very well. Was
there a big fight and then silence on both ends?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Both ends. And my father and I are both probably
the most like stubborn people in the universe. So it
was like I kept comparing it to that Doctor Seuss
book where you had those little creatures like that met
in the middle of the road and they refused to
go around each other, and then for all eternity.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
That was basically which one of you cave in?
Speaker 7 (16:49):
First?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You were your dad.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
I went to my parents' house on Halloween and inevitably
saw him for the first time in three and a
half four months, you.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
Speak to him for four months, and you went to
the house on Halloween.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
This it's my favorite holiday. My sisters wanted me to
take them trick or treating. You know, I have two
little baby sisters, eight and nine years old.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
So it all worked out well. On Halloween, it did, and.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
We just said, you know, let's chat, and we had
our little dinner sit down discussion, kind of agreed to disagree.
He still doesn't. He's not happy about what I did.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
So you think you're too old to be a parent?
Did right now? So to speak to have dad make
your decision.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I would say so, especially if it's you know, I
didn't ask him to help me with the surgery in
any way, to ask him to help me financially. I
did something on my own as an almost thirty year old,
and I think it is what it is.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of my own and for me,
I have a daughter, there's three obviously much younger, but
I'm trying to put myself in that position. Twenty eight
just seems like you're not twenty one, even twenty one,
you're an adult, right, but twenty age.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, well you're a grown woman. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
See, I can't identify because my dad and I never
had a single conversation. But that's another story for some show. Yeah,
probably not this one.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
You learn more and more about that exactly as time
goes on.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Right, Yeah, you talk to them more in depth, if
that makes any sense.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
Yeah, So, Johanna, was he upset that you didn't ask
him first, or that you didn't run and buy him first.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
That was part of it.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
And then if you did, what would he upset?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
So it's a lot. I wanted to tell him about it. Again,
it was for a partnership, so it was kind of
inevitable that I had to post about it. He's not
on Instagram. I posted somebody else told him about my
surgery before I did, which also made me.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Pretty weren't you talking about it on the Vibros show? Yes,
I was, Well, that's pretty much telling him.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
How do you tell your own father, Hey, dad, getting
my breasts done? It's a very awkward conversation. So that's
part of the reason I kind of delayed telling him.
It was also like no time in the day to
sit down with him and tell him because I didn't
want to tell him over text, and if I did
tell him even before I had posted about it, he
ill would have been angry.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Now what did he say when he saw them? I mean,
saw you for the first time?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
My goodness, gracious, I know what's coming anyway, So awkward,
But it's an awkward conversation.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
That's what this show, the billion Lisa Morning Show is about.
You say what's on your mind, talking about it. You know,
something pops into your mind. You just go there.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Good, Now, everything's great. Now I love my dad.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Okay, so you cleared the air with him.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
We cleared the air.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Okay, Now did you say.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
To him, you know, I think that I'm an adult
and that decisions that I make I want to be
treated as an adult.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Did just say, oh yeah, I did? And he said
you are still my little girl. So yeah, he doesn't
want to acknowledge the adults.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
I think before the week is out, we should have
Dad on Eddie.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Come on with He's probably listening right now or getting
a million text messages from people.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Nice to hear his end of it. Why he thought
the way he thought, why his feelings were hurt.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
Yeah, yeah, because I've never met your father, But I've
heard nothing but great things about him.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Great.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
We have a lot of people that know him in
his circle.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
Eddie is your dad's name, Eddie g.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
Yeah, he's supposed like one of the best dudes ever. Yeah,
that's why I'm like, you know, I want to be critical,
but I'm like, I heard good things.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I know I love him, but lost focus on.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
The good side. You and your dad are back together.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
We're back together. We mintically made up.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
But it does beg the question when is a parent
parenting too much or too long? They should be the cutoff.
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Yeah, and this is good for people that have young children,
you know, for the future. Yes, you know, as your
kids grow up, when's that cut off going to be?
Speaker 6 (20:45):
Well?
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Shianna, you your mouth seems to get you in trouble
a lot. Oh god, she's so graid today there's no
filter with your dad.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
And the v BRO show and this and then this
morning with your Jade.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
He had low blood plates. I knew was coming.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You have a lot of explaining to do when you
go home.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm in trouble.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Oh boy, Hey guys, welcome back in to the best
of Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's producer Riley.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I am counting them.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Down for you.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
So this week, Lisa was on vacation, so Gianna filled
in and she actually sparked one of our topic times
because she was on a four month silent treatment standoff
with her father because she got a breast augmentation that
he just did not agree with. So she was asking
the question, at what point should parents kind of butt
out of their kids' lives.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
It's number two.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
The bottom line is you're twenty eight years old and
you're thinking. Your point was, look, dad, I'm twenty eight
years old. I should be able to make my own decisions. Yeah,
your dad disagreed. So for four months you didn't speak.
So let's continue the conversation. We'll go to Denise in Plymouth. Denise,
good morning, what's your story?
Speaker 17 (21:45):
Good morning.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
I'm calling to let you know that when my daughter
was about ten eleven, she had a bunch of biologies.
We got her tested for chemicals, and when the results came.
Speaker 17 (21:58):
Back, I found a great opportunity to like stick this
in there and say, oh my god, you are actually
allerg tobacco and that drug marijuana, Like you can't touch that,
you can't around that, and she took it to the
great like she took it like to college, her friends
(22:19):
around her, like everybody knew not to smoke near Britty
and sure enough. Now, mind you, my daughter is thirty two,
nine months pregnant. It's going to be a mother herself.
And a couple of years ago, we were at our
home having a family cookout and I was like, I
spilled the beatings and she's like, oh my god, and
(22:40):
the whole family was there and we were finally able.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
To tell her, well, you're really not allergic. But it
took her down a good path and she didn't touch
it in that cares.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Yeah, you lied to her about her allergies or non allergies.
Speaker 17 (22:55):
Are non allergies? I was, yeah, I would didn't want
drugs for crying out loud. Yeah, And people didn't. And
so here we.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
Are, and you know, not for nothing, Gianna.
Speaker 17 (23:08):
Like, my daughter has put me in my place a
couple of times when i've you know, spoken too much,
and I respect that because that's the woman I raised.
Speaker 11 (23:16):
There you go, don tell you what to.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
Do, all right, Thank you, mom, good story, good way
to get us started. I want to tell a nut
allergy story if I can. When my son Chris was
very young, we took him to have him tested and
the allergiest said, oh no, this is the worst I've
ever seen. Like he's got a severe nut allergy, Like
he could die right. Ask me if he ate nuts
for his entire life and never had an allergic reaction.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
So he can eat nuts no problem.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
His entire life, every nut on the planet, not a
single allergic reaction.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I just wanted to share that little thing on allergies.
That's nuts.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Yes, that's nuts again, No pun intended, Janna.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
I completely sympathize with you.
Speaker 16 (23:58):
When I started getting touch who my mom did not
talk to me for a month and she told me,
you know, I brought you into this world. You know
how I feel about tattoos. And I had to have
the conversation with her that you know, I am an
adult now I can make that decision whether or not
I want to put something on my body, how I
want to change my body.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
That is not your decision.
Speaker 16 (24:17):
So we've had this conversation back and forth, but she
will never get it. So I completely like, ugh, it's
a struggle.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah, can you say how old your daughter was? I'm
just thinking it's all about a certain age. You should
be able to.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Make your own decision, Like, what is that age?
Speaker 8 (24:34):
I know you would think twenty one, you wouldn adult it,
but you're not really at an adulted twenty Not really.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
I thought it was when I moved out of his house.
I'm like, yes, I'm.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
Free from this show you were twenty seven.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Yeah, this was only like, but that is a measuring
stick beyond the age once you move out, you know,
because they always say, while.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
You're under my roof. Exactly, you weren't under his roof.
Anybody was under my own under your own roof, Yeah, exactly.
Good point.
Speaker 12 (25:00):
Having him breastfeeding both as my kids. I was no
longer with my ex and I could have surf you pancakes,
So I wanted implants. So for my thirtieth birthday, I
decided that's what I would get myself, and I had
my father drive me to and.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
From the appointment.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
At least I didn't ask Eddie to drive me anywhere.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yeah, by the way, is Eddie called in Gianna's dad.
We're hoping to get a call from Jiana's dad.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
From this to him, he told me to give him
a few.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
It's morning, he's booked and busy.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Okay, we'll see if we can get them all.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Let's try to get him. Is he going to go
on start yelling though, No, no, he won't yell again.
We squat, we squashed the beef.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Let's know, he's a connected guy. Is he gonna like
come after me if we say the wrong thing?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I can't confidently say yes or not.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Okay, but hopefully we'll get Eddie on your dad because
a long.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Time I've always heard that her dad, Eddie is the man,
nicest guy ever, will help anybody.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
But do not cross him, don't.
Speaker 6 (26:00):
That's why I've always heard about him.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Don't cross Eddie.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
So I'm just happy that the show is called the
Billy and Lisa Show. That Justin's name is not anywhere near.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Well, I've also got I've always already had the super
freak Drake her boyfriend coming after me.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Oh, he'll be coming soon, Hida.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
I just wanted to say, I went to school with
Eddie and Revere and he was no angel, so you
definitely have some the ground to stand on there.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Gianna. Well, speaking of Eddie, Gianna's dad, the dad that
she didn't speak to for four months because of her breasts.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Dad is on the phone.
Speaker 11 (26:38):
Good morning, Eddie, Good morning guys.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Well, yeah, I don't know if you've been listening, Eddie.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Is there anything you want to say before we start
grilling you with questions?
Speaker 11 (26:48):
No, you can jeel me first and then I'll speak, Okay.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
So Gianna tells the story that she had a breastol
augmentation recently and.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
That caused a bit of a her with you guys.
Speaker 11 (27:00):
Right, yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Yeah, Well you didn't speak for four months, Eddie. We're
in your corner, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
Listen. She already threw her boyfriend under the bus this
and he said he had liked.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
More team Eddie. Eddie was billying just the team Eddie.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
You should be. I appreciate it though.
Speaker 5 (27:17):
So for our listeners, Eddie, what's your statement? What would
you like to say in terms of this old drama?
Speaker 11 (27:25):
I mean, being a father, It's like, I think it's
kind of like common sense for me to be as
upset as I was, and you know how far I
took it. I mean, it's not it's not because we
didn't talk for four months or you know the time
(27:45):
people say, how can you not talk to your daughter
for four months and so forth. I don't think the
time had anything to.
Speaker 7 (27:50):
Do with it.
Speaker 11 (27:51):
I was very upset, you know, so many different circumstances
how I found out what she was doing, why she
was doing it, and so on and so forth, And
being a loving Karen father of my three beautiful children,
I think it was only natural for how I reacted
and how I acted upon as as we had our
(28:15):
little dinner and talked and she explained a little more
in detail the reasons why she did it and why
I was a little more understanding. But my first initial
reaction was like kind of like anger, frustrated, and I
didn't really know again the purpose of why she was
doing it, Nor did I think she needed to do anything,
(28:38):
Nor do I think any girl should do anything to
her body, because I just think people are just naturally
beautiful and you shouldn't touch your body if you do
have a problem. There's so many natural things you can
do to fix things. That's my opinion.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
And Eddie, you were more upset or equally upset that
you had to hear it secondhand and it was your
daughter's breasts.
Speaker 11 (29:00):
Yeah, that really upset me also, but not as much
as the fact that she was doing it, whether like
you know, whether whether whatever I had to say about it,
regardless seemed like you know, And that's another subject in itself,
you know, and talk about she's gonna she's she's going
to be twenty eight. She keeps saying, Oh, I'm almost thirty,
(29:22):
and you still had a lot of time before you thirty.
It's only going to be twenty eight. So again, I'm
her father. I don't care if she was thirty. I
don't care if she's twenty. You know, I still feel
because how much I care and love my kids, it's
only natural to react the way I did. And yeah,
(29:43):
that's my of course, and I would react if she
was forty.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
And again, part of your hurt, Dad, was that you
had to hear it secondhand. So Gianna, this might be
a perfect time to tell your dad about the Brazilian
butt list.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
My dad, that's not happen.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I love you all right here it is the number
one moment of the week. We had a reality TV
show icon, John Taffer from Bar Rescue live in studio,
and he was actually giving us some inside secrets to
what it's like filming Bar Rescue.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What can you call here to.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Do every day because this can't be your result.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
This can't be you what your bet.
Speaker 7 (30:23):
Please tell me, just like you know what your you bet.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
John, But this is you at your best, Billy. I'm
doing my best. But man, you are larger than life.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
As they say, Bar Rescue is such such a good show.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
We have another clip for you alson from Attleborough.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
And this isn't a question, but I just want to
say that during the pandemic, I would watch hours upon
hours of bar Rescue every single day, and so I
just want to thank.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
John for bringing me a little bit of joy and
those crazy days of isolation.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Gianna, you were watching with your boyfriend Drake last night
and you said to John you called the show something.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Our comfort show. His name is Jake, by the way,
for show it's our comfort show. He put it on
last night without even knowing that you were coming in
this morning.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
So he was flabbergasted when.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
I told her you were set up for today.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I was set up for today.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
John. It's always good to see it was a two
years ago already that you.
Speaker 7 (31:21):
Were last year. Billy. It's been a crazy year for me,
but it's always good to see you. My friend.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
This is great John. By the way, he's back in Boston.
He's celebrating his new bourbon Brown.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Butter bourbon you happen to bring anyway, we did Morning
Come on Time on the Billy and leads the show.
I got to tell you, watching the show makes me
dizzy because I can't even imagine how much production goes
into bar rescue.
Speaker 7 (31:47):
Yeah you know, I was. I was mentioning briefly to
you earlier that you know, we traveled the crew of
about fifty seven and so it's five trucks. When we
go to a city. We have to do three bars
in each city to make the economics work because it's
so expensive.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
To bring it.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
Everybody in. Once we do that first night, I show
up at about six o'clock at night. I get it
literally about a sixty second briefing this John and George
are in debt, this amount, they're ready to kill each other,
blah blah blah, they're losing such amount of money. I
go in and do recon. I don't know what's going
to happen till I go in there building. I've never
met these people. I've never been in this place.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Some of them as all real down. Yeah, so it's
all real.
Speaker 7 (32:21):
I'm not ahead of you, and I think that's why
I borrow the rest of your successful I'm finding it out
when you're finding So when recon ends, what people don't
know is I take all the employees, I put them
all in vans in the parking lot, and I designed
the bar that night. So I'm given the demographic report,
a competitive report. I look at my verticals, my horizontals.
I don't know how many sports bars are in the area,
(32:42):
how many this are in the area, how many of
that in the era. So I come up with the
concept that night. The next morning when we show up,
what you see on television is training and stress test.
On day two, what you don't see is we're approving
the barstools, the wallpapers were putting together.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
Say you've got to work with interior designers.
Speaker 7 (32:59):
I'm in the middle of every nothing happens that I'm
unaware of.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Do you have your own interior designers? Of trouble with you?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I do.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
I have a designer we call an art director, and
I have a production team of about twelve just in
the art department for remodel. So then what will happen
is at the end of day two. All the logos
are the signed companies, the recipes and the food orders
and the beverage orders, the furniture's ordered. Here's a little secret.
If you look at Bar Rescue, the barstools almost never
(33:25):
match because when you need sixty barstools overnight, you can
only get twelve of this. Six of these. Nine of those,
you can't get sixty at the same one.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
Inside stuff.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Now look at the episodes, you'll see I try to
put the yellow ones on one side and the green
on the other, or I mix them up. I try
to make it make sense. But when you're remodeling it
and that quickly, you deal with what you get. So
at the end of stress test, everybody goes home, they're
not allowed to come back to the bar, and we
start construction. So we build it the night of day
two all day day three. That's why we train off
(33:58):
site Billy, because we're building it on site, So we
train them at another location, and then the fourth day,
that afternoon we reveal it to them. So we do
build it in thirty six hours. And what you see
in Bar Rescue is pretty much day one, day two,
day three, day four as it happens.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
But here's the deal.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
You also have to play the part of a family
therapist alive because I've watched a lot of episodes and
it seems like the family owned restaurants or bars or whatever.
It seems like most of the families have one failed
member that's just screwing up the whole thing, and you've
got to.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Sit down with that person, sit down with the family,
make it all work.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
And a lot of times you'll give the failed member
more responsibility. Yes, but you have to make sure that
everybody's on board with that.
Speaker 7 (34:44):
Well, you know, when somebody isn't caring and networking, it
can be a lot of reasons, and I believe I
need to find the primal reason. What is the primal
instinct that's causing them to shut down?
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, it could be lack of pride.
Speaker 7 (34:56):
It could be that somebody is stifling them, They don't
have confident. What the heck is it that's causing them
to do that. Yeah, I got to figure that out,
and I got no time to do it. So that's
the trick. Once I find out what it is that's
causing them to do it. Lack of motivation because he
felt unimportant made him feel important.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Have you ever had to fire a family member?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (35:16):
Absolutely? And you know what I tell families. You know,
in the business, you're not a family, You're a team.
You see, families protect each other in weakness. Little Johnny's trying.
You have little Johnny a break. Little Johnny doesn't feel
good today. Right, that's a family. You protect each other weakness.
That's exactly what you don't want in a business. So
I say, be a family outside inside, be a team.
If you strike out, you get benched, right, Billy, Yeah, sure,
(35:39):
big difference in the family. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
If you were to think of all the places you've
done and revamped and everything in families and bar owners
that you've met and spent time with, is there one
that stands out that whenever you're hanging out with somebody
at a bar having some of your brown butter bourbon,
that you say, you won't believe the worst thing that
ever happened to me, the worst place I had to do.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Is there one?
Speaker 7 (36:01):
Yeah, there's there's one that always strikes me as the
most powerful. You know, spirits on Bourbon is a very
successful rescue. They made millions and millions of dollars. It's
a great story, but it's not a family, it's two partners.
There was a family in South Carolina. They owned a
bar called Characters. You might remember this one. And in Characters,
they had their whole staff in like the most ridiculous
(36:26):
Halloween style costumes in the world. One of them was
Marilyn Monroe and another was Burt Reynolds. And and it
was just so tacky and awful. And there was a
daughter who cried all day every day because her brother
just beat the hell out of her because she couldn't
do anything right. And the parents were stuck in this
awful situation. That was Charlie, A Helen Guy Andrea Yes,
(36:49):
and Alexander was their last name. And I put in
moon Runners based it on the original days of Moonshine.
Oh yeah, they would go and they would do it
during the darkness of the moon is when they would
bring the moonshine down the mountain and stuff. We put
it together and we fixed the family along the process. Wow,
and the daughter's life dramatically changed. The brother respected the daughter,
(37:12):
the parents were just enthralled by the entire thing. Now
I can tell them I communicate with them often. They
just opened two new locations at the same time. Good
for them, and they're doing terrific. And when you fix
a family, Billy, it feels so good. I mean the
bricks and mortar building a bar. Yeah, that's great, But
that's not why I do it. Yeah, you know, I
do it because I want to look in their eyes
(37:33):
and feel like I made a difference to somebody or
some family. And that's really a powerful thing to that.
Speaker 5 (37:38):
Well, the minute we said you were going to have
you on, we've been getting talkbacks and we've been getting calls.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
People want to talk to John Taffer. We get some
right here.
Speaker 13 (37:45):
Hi, John, big fan of yours. Your show is always
on at my house every Sunday. You're yelling, brings me joy.
I have a question for you. What would you say
the grossest thing you've ever seen an employee do before think,
oh oh boy.
Speaker 7 (37:59):
There's a couple.
Speaker 11 (38:00):
Uh.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
