Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best a billion Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey guys, good morning, Welcome into the best of Billy
and Lisa in the Morning, gets producer Riley. We are
about to have a perfect fall Saturday, so I am
looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm glad that you guys are starting your day.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here on Kiss one eight and this is the perfect
weekend to go around looking at Halloween decor We were
talking this week about Halloween decorations and how they're getting
a little bit out of hand, but man, are they
cool to look at.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is number five.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
So I was out walking the dog the last couple
of nights, right, and when I'm walking the dog, I'm
going through the neighborhood and I can't help but notice
it seems that this year the Halloween decorations are.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Over the top.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
And I got to tell you something, I don't mind.
I really like it.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
They're over the top and they're themed, which is very cool.
There's one house in Phoenix where it's a Swifties delight.
It is all Taylor Swift Life of a sh Girl
has been added. They do bracelet making, they do all
this fun stuff. So then we started talking like is
this fun for people? Or is it not so much
(01:10):
fun for people.
Speaker 7 (01:10):
I mean, it's definitely over the top. Every year, I
feel like it's crazier and crazier. I'm in Salemon, Hampshire,
and I've seen so many houses with all the giant skeletons.
I mean, they go all out.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
But if you live next door to that, I guess
that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
That's the issue. I don't have any craziness next to me.
But down the street there's a house. They must have
spent one hundred grande on the house. No, they have
all the decorations on the front lawn, but then the
windows are done, and then the roof is done too.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, two or three blocks down the street from us,
justin I keep needing to send you pictures. I want
to take pictures in the night because this particular house
this year has at least thirteen of those giant skeletons.
But they've got all kinds of new stuff too. It's amazing,
and I keep meaning to send you a picture. And again,
Lisa made a point off the air earlier this morning,
(02:02):
it's okay with Halloween because it comes down comes down
after Halloween.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's not like Christmas. Decorations that are up forever.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
So, but my question is do the Halloween houses do
they roll into Christmas in the same way.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Well, I will say that giant skeletons, it's very common
to leave them up year round and then you know,
decorate them for the different holidays. So you're probably gonna
see some skeletons with a Santa hat.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, why take them down? Just put some Santa stuff
on it.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
By the way, that's the reason I really didn't want
to get the giant skeleton from that. My wife wanted
it would never come down. Yeah, wow, that would be
like it would be like chickens around.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Well, they're so hard to put up right an anchor,
I guess.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
But you just leave them up.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
There's right across the streets from us, and I was
waiting for this guy to put his Halloween stuff up
because I look forward to it every year. He has
a giant witch. When I tell you, it's three stories
high and like lit. They've got a fire under the
witch's dressed and it burns, burns at night. And I'm
telling y, I enjoy that Halloween decoration.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
I love any type of lieration.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
I think it's fun and I think about when I
was and I loved seeing Christmas lights and Halloween decorations.
Makes everything way more festive because the world is so
miserable now and everyone sucks.
Speaker 10 (03:17):
Yeah, but here's the thing, there's.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
A fine line between being festive and it being obnoxious.
You got to take other people into consideration with noises
and bright lights and all of that.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Well, it's sooner for the kids too.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
If you want to take your kids to walk around
the neighborhood, you don't even have to get in the car.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
And it's so creative, Like that's what I love the mustle, Like, wow,
that's so cool. We even saw one recently. One of
our listeners sent us a Jordan Hudson Bill Belichick themed
front house.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I saw that.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
I think Bill had a rip jersey on the rip.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Creative, creative, creative.
Speaker 11 (03:54):
My parents neighborhood growing up never did any sort of
decorations for Halloween.
Speaker 10 (03:58):
Even for like Christmas.
Speaker 11 (04:00):
It was like light lights on the bushes and candles.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
In the windows.
Speaker 11 (04:04):
Now it's like this new generation of families is having
a full fledged competition for who can have this Bookies's house.
There's one house with three of the twelve foot skeletons.
There's one house with like life size skeletons climbing up
the windows. There's this other house with this like cursed
witch that hangs in a tree.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
It's barkers.
Speaker 12 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Charlestown has gotten out of control too, especially around the
Bunker Hill monuments, some of the townhouses and brownstones there.
And by the way, Pierce six the restaurant in Charlestown,
just noticed the other day they have these giant octopus tentacles,
like giant hanging over the side of the restaurant. I
didn't know what was going on until it hit me.
I said, Oh, it's for Halloween.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yeah, see, that's cool. I like that, But I think
about the people that live next door to some of
these houses, not only the lights of you know they're allowed,
and the sounds, but the people that come to look
at the well. Yeah, now you have traffic, people stopping.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
In your neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
You can get it. Yeah, random people.
Speaker 13 (05:01):
I wish I got trigger treaders. We don't get any
on the street.
Speaker 11 (05:04):
But I think the Halloween lights and the over the
topness is a bit much for me.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
All right, Well, little Halloween grinch there, what.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
The good news is it's your home.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You do whatever you want. Yeah, nobody gets hurt. And
again kids can walk around the neighborhood at night and say.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Oh, there's a house in my neighborhood that has a
big Halloween party for all the kids when sun goes
this Saturday actually, and they go all out and they
build their own haunted house so they have all the
decorations and then on their party, you go there. They
have a big event and it's legit haunted house you
can walk through.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
So it's open to the public. Anyone can go walk
through it.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
To get invited. But it's for the neighborhood kids in
the neighborhood. I mean, that's fun.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
It is.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Halloween is so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, it's that time a year again, Halloween time, and
we are seeing some crazy decorations this year. Hey, it's
producer Riley. This is the best of Billion Lisa in
the Morning, where I'm counting down the top five moments of.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
The week with you. This is number four.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Did you guys hear about that Halloween house in Arizona
that has a Taylor Swift theme?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Hushtag Taylor's Halloween House, Phoenix Life of a Show, Gooul
is one of the most popular little vignettes in the
front of the house, and this person actually invites people
to come to the neighborhood and see it.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Don't you think Taylor should go?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I think she should or at least like say something
on social about it or like the post.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Well, Taylor could be making her way to Lisa's town
of Milton. What there's a hot tip.
Speaker 13 (06:32):
That's just in there's a house in Milton, Lisa. You
need to drive by that. They dress up all the
skeletons as Taylor Swift in all her errors.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
They also have Travis.
Speaker 13 (06:44):
And Jason Kelsey sitting at a table for their podcasts,
but it's all the different errors of Taylor Swift with
different skeletons. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh so they're doing Phoenix in Milton.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah, I'd like this, you know, people getting creative.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I mean these are crazy times, right, everything's crazy, So
to do something that's fun, I think it's great.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (07:09):
I find it for people who decorate for Halloween who
don't have children.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
There's a guy who lives in my neighborhood who lives.
Speaker 15 (07:16):
In this huge house completely alone, but he decorates his
house for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
What's up with that?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Well, that happens a lot, but it's because a lot
of these.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Guys are like retired, you know, they're not going to
work every day and they just want something to do
to entertain themselves and the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I see that a lot too.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Yeah, Oh, you love the kids.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Can you make some noise? Let them know you their kids? Samantha?
Can I get a what? What?
Speaker 12 (07:42):
You know?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
What I mean? People go to Disney without kids?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Where do you think Samantha is right now?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
She's traumatized from Top thirty experience.
Speaker 16 (07:53):
So I've set up my Halloween decorations this year. It's
a bunch of cardboard cutouts, life size, one being Billy
kind of hiding behind bushes, and the rest of them
being a Little League game being played that he's very
much enjoying watching.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Yeah, Billy's a big fan of the Little League World Series.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Why do I seem to print so creepy?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
I don't know, I don't know. Are you the guy
that the odwall? You have kids, but you know they
don't live with you. You could be the odd guy?
You don't You don't decorate for Halloween? Right?
Speaker 17 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And we don't get tricky treaters. You know, we're in

Speaker 7 (08:37):
Okay?
Speaker 11 (08:38):
From Phil Recca.
Speaker 18 (08:40):
My son goes to Charlestown every year for Halloween because
that's where his dad is from. They shut down all
the roads around the monument and the training field and
they just gear it towards kids and it's amazing. Honestly,
anybody who can get their.
Speaker 10 (08:56):
Should go there.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
You go, Bill, Yeah, Charlestown gets bigger with it every
single year.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
This year is really over the top. Just head for
the Bunker Hill Monument.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
That neighborhood with all the brownstones is decorated beautifully. My
friend's Charlie and Brook, their house is outstanding. In Pier six,
you said, right, Peer six, which they owned in Charlestown.
I'm telling you giant I didn't know what it was.
Giant octopus tentacles hanging down the sides of the restaurant
Pier six.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
So the owner of Pier six also lives across from
that Bunker.
Speaker 11 (09:29):
Hill monument and they have those syntentacals, so we'll go
over that.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah, yeah, Charlie and Brook.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 19 (09:36):
Every year I think my son to Spirit Halloween is
a tradition. We have three large animatronics in our collection.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 19 (09:46):
Every year we host a Halloween party.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
The kids love it.
Speaker 19 (09:50):
And Lomas he brings me street as we'll continue with
our animatronic collection.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Yo. Spirit Halloween is a place I know you probably
haven't been in there recently. I went to one in Salem,
New Hampshire. It is unbelievable. In there, they have a
whole display in the middle like you can walk in.
They have giant animatronics everywhere.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Great for kids, it's really great. They can run around.
I mean I put the mask on and my daughter
run out this store screaming.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But well throughout New England, there are so many cool
places you can go to celebrate Halloween.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I mean Salem, yes.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Here, you've got Salem. Now you've got Charlestown. You obviously
have Beacon.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Hill in the back bay.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Oh God, legendary.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Bring the kids into Boston and go to Charlestown and
then go to Beacon Hill.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And all the different mazes, it farms all over New
England and Hallow.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
It's amazing, so many places to go.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
New England really is the Halloween spot.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
If you think about it, I think so we'll Salem
is the Halloween capital of the world.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I think yep.
Speaker 17 (10:47):
So don't get me wrong. I love the decorating. I
think it's super fun. My kids love it. We like
to go around and look at them. But the Halloween
one sometimes can be a bit obnoxious. They're very shreve lighty,
and as someone who lives next door to someone who
goes all out, it is really distracting when watching Survivor
and every little creek or crevice of a window that
(11:10):
doesn't have a cover on it is strobe lighting in
every room of my house.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, I want to hear from some of the people
who hate the neighbor because the neighbor.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Is one of those over the top decorators.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Well, stroke light, I gotta know that's going on. The
strobe lights are very obnoxious. Yeah, I went through. I
went to Screenfest at Canoby last weekend and the coolest
part of one of the haunted houses was the strobe light.
And I remember thinking like, oh, this is cool to
walk through for two seconds, never mind if it's right
next to you.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Twenty four hours.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Yeah, it's like NonStop.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
We've got somebody on the phone right now. Linda, Good morning.
Speaker 20 (11:45):
Good morning. How's everyone this morning?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
We're good. What's your story around Halloween?
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Linda.
Speaker 20 (11:50):
I live in Easton, which is near Foxborough Mansfield, and
I've lived in the neighborhoods for thirty years. And now
we have kids that have kids that are my kids.
Speaker 21 (12:00):
And they have a whole entire house that these younger
kids bring the screen down so the whole entire side
of the house is covered, and they have kids Halloween
movies playing the whole entire night, and they have like
thirty five forty chairs for the little kids to sit
if they get tired. And then they have a whole
(12:21):
setup of like a cauldron in the middle where it
can where the kids get their candy.
Speaker 20 (12:27):
And then they have a whole bar setup that's made
like an adult cauldron and you can have beer and wine.
Speaker 15 (12:34):
That odd.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
I want to move to east It is so cool.
Speaker 20 (12:39):
We have people that like now come from all different
places and it's kind of a secluded neighborhood, so like
you can park your cars down the road and then
kind of walk into the neighborhood. There's like thirty five
forty houses and it's it's it's.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Pretty it's pretty special.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Lind Are we talking about a cash bar?
Speaker 18 (12:59):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (12:59):
No, no, cat, But they talked about doing something this
year as a cash bar, and they're deciding on a
charity that they're going to support.
Speaker 14 (13:06):
Sure here, so do you.
Speaker 20 (13:08):
Want to come down and have a beer or a
glass of wine? You know it'll go to a good charity.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
But read beer and wine.
Speaker 20 (13:15):
Listening, Yeah, beer and wine. Well, we have Shoveltown Brewery
in our town and it's a big local brewery here,
and so I don't know, there may be some coordination
with them, and they may come and kind of do
a little boots.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Well, Linda, we're all coming. We're going to park in.
Speaker 20 (13:32):
Your driveway, all right, go ahead, I'll give it my
address later.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You know, there is a lot of fake news out
there nowadays, and Justin wanted to put Billy and Lisa
to the test. Hey, it's producer Riley. This is the
best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning. So he
took some real headlines and some fake headlines to see
if he could stump them.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Lisa, you're up first. It is Halloween next week, but
it's Halloween season. How about a mon I'm in California
bought an old Scream mask at Goodwill and found out
it was worth a lot more than she paid for.
She ended up selling it for eight hundred dollars. Is
that a real story or a fake story?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I'm gonna say it's fake.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
You're saying fake? Final answer?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, that's real.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Oh it is real.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
The woman went into the thrift store. She bought a
ghost face mask when the movie Scream, but the one
that she bought actually came out five years before the
movie came out.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
So she bought it for very little and sold it
for eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 22 (14:36):
I put it on an eBay option, starting it ninety
nine cents because A I don't know about these things
and B I'm not here to pricecouch, And within thirty
minutes it went from ninety nine cents to four hundred
and five dollars, and then the day after that five forty,
and a few days after that five sixty, and with
an hour left of auction, it jumped to seven hundred, and.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
The winning bid was seven hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
You never know where you'll find a goodwill, right question.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yes, what's the buyer gonna do with it?
Speaker 7 (15:03):
It's a collector's item. The movie came out in nineteen
ninety one. This came out five years before that. Ah,
it's an original.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Man collector's item.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Of course.
Speaker 23 (15:13):
There you go.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
All right, Moving on, Bill, I know you were just
in Africa. You saw a lot of animals, including zebra.
As you were up close and personal.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
A lot of zebra. It's my favorite animal.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
How about this zoo in Kansas have started a rent
a zebra fundraiser to raise money. You can rent a zebra?
Is that a real or a fake story?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I'm gonna say that's a real story. I would rent
a zebra.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I know you would, So you're saying it's a real story.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Final answer, final answer.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Zero for two.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You can't rent a zebra.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
You cannot rent a zebra.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yet, maybe somebody this is your new business venture.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I'm gonna go out and get a bunch of zebra.
Is it zebra plural or zebras?
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Oh that's a good question. It's been a long time
since I've been in school, so we'll have to look
that up. Okay, all right, next headline, Lisa are fake.
There's been some rain in Arizona recently and some rare
toads have been coming out and people are licking them
to try to get high. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I can have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I'm gonna say it's real.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Real headline, real story. Final answer? Is that your final answer?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I don't even know because it could be true and
it could not be true.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Well that's the point. That's the fun of the game, right,
fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Final answer, I don't know, Like say, looking toads real
or fake?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Wait to get what?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Why are they looking to getting high?
Speaker 7 (16:38):
You're looking toads in Arizona to try.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
To get Okay, I'm gonna say it's real.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
You're gonna say real, Yeah, it is real. Authorities are
telling people not to lick these toads and to keep
pets away from them because they could be bad.
Speaker 23 (16:51):
Bad.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
You shouldn't be looking toads anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah they could. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
All right, Well did you get on your tongue?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I'm not sure, but I do have a zoologist whose
German shepherd survived licking one of the toads.
Speaker 14 (17:05):
The first thing I would do is take a garden
hose and flush their tongue and then make plans to
get to an emergency clinic right away. The key thing
is you want to keep their body temperature from spiking
because that can lead to seizure and death. And so
you know, quicker into the tongue, work that tongue, get
that slime off.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So all of that is possible seizures that like wide lick.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Well, the humans are licking them to try to get high. Yeah,
because you know people are crazy, but the animals are
licking them because they're animals.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
They're they're curious.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeaeah.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
So at the end of the day, that tongue.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But don't lick the toad, correct.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
All right? Bill Railer. Fake story. A man was arrested
for stealing a twelve thousand dollars twelve thousand dollars in
Halloween decorations to try to keep up with his neighbors.
Is that a rail or a fake story? Some people
have huge displays. Are yeah, IIan skeletons, I drive by
a lot, are elaborate.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Okay, I'm going to say it's real. He paid twelve
grand real.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Final answer, that's a fake story, Bill, Okay, it so listen.
It's a fifty to fifty shot. It is what it is.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
And I hope people that are listening in their cars
are playing along. Right, This is like afy game to play.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Along with, right, Lisa, reel or fake story. We talked
a lot about chickens this week. The chickens at my
house are under attack from raccoons. But in China, a
new trend is piercings for chickens, and this is catching on.
Real or fake?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You mean piercings for chickens.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Like piercings, piercing the chickens like they're different parts of it.
That's horrible, horrible, But is it real? It's in China
that reel or fake?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Oh, this is awful China piercings for chickens. I'm going
to say it's real.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Final answer.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I'm glad If it were real, Justin's wife Jen would
be piercing the chickens in the backyard.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
No, she loves the chickens.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I think that that's like it's animal cruelty.
Speaker 7 (19:08):

Speaker 5 (20:32):
Hey, guys, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
It's producer Riley and everybody who's ever been in an
uber probably has a horror story. We trow this into
our topic time and honestly, some of you guys might
just want to start taking blue bikes.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's number two.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Let's go to the phones first, and Katie, you're calling
from Wellesley. You have an uber a story for us?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I do.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
My husband is an uber driver. Oh good, and he
absolutely hates drunk women because he says they're really, really loud, i'mnoxious.
And he's had like a couple of people, men in particular,
proposition him for sex.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm sorry, is your husband like a strikingly handsome dude?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I think he is, but I don't know what other
people think.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
So let me get this.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
So guys, get in the backseat of his zuber and
come on to him.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yes, ah, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Did he ever bring anybody home?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
No, he hasn't brought anybody home.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
That was a good story.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, I like that one. That's a good start.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Thank you Katie for the call from beautiful Wellesley. Let's
go to BC and Waltham.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Good morning, BC, Good morning guys.
Speaker 25 (21:41):
Thanks taking the call. So I'm not strikingly handsome like
the last callers husband on Chicago about two weeks ago
for a conference. So I happened to be about six to two,
maybe like three hundred and ten pounds, And of course
the uber pulls up. The uber is a like a
pres you know. Of course the driver happens to be
about the same size as me, but about two feet shorter,
(22:02):
and she has the seat so far back that she's
literally looking like eyeball the eyeball with me. So I'm like, oh,
this is gonna be a long ride. So the ride
from where I was to you know, O'Hare was about
an hour and forty five minutes.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Oh god.
Speaker 25 (22:18):
The first words out of this woman's mouth now, I'm
married with two kids, kids play hockey, the whole thing,
like we're always like running crazy. And the first words
out of the slady's mouth is, you know, my husband's
not acting right at home. I'm like, oh no, Like
I can't wave. I hear this at home a lot.
I can't just for an hour for five minutes, so, uh,
it was an interesting ride to say the least.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Wait a minute, she said, what, my husband's not home
right now.
Speaker 25 (22:41):
No, just not acting right at home. And I'm like, oh, lady,
please don't do this to me for an hour and
forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So oh she wanted to chat.
Speaker 25 (22:50):
Oh no, she was saying he was not acting right,
like she wanted to complain about her husband. It's about
precisely a lot of the same things we were doing
at home myself. So you know, it wasn't a great
ride for me.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Sure, Yeah, hour and forty five minutes. Oh boy, all right,
thanks for the call. BC. Let's go to Hillary. Hillary
is in Newton. Good morning, Hillary, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
So.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
I had I tend to chat a lot with Uber
drivers and we were just chatting about life, and he asked.
Speaker 21 (23:20):
If I was married, if.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I had kids, and he wasn't coming on to me,
but you know, I said no.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
And he was like, oh, well, you can't be happy,
and I was like, I'm very happy.
Speaker 19 (23:32):
And he called me a liar.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
He said, you're a liar.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Confrontation a car.
Speaker 18 (23:39):
He called me a liar and then I was gotten
out of the car.
Speaker 19 (23:43):
But we were on the highway and when we got
to where I was.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Going, he was like, well, I have someone I could
set you off with.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Oh god, I'm.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
So happy I had something to say. I was like, well,
if he's anything like you, I'm not interested.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And I thought, how it.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Was a car.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, Hillary, can will you ask you a question? Are
you happy right now?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I am very happy.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Let's go to Jordan. We're getting a lot of calls.
Good morning, Jordan, good morning.
Speaker 21 (24:13):
How are you guys doing today?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
We're great? Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
So I have an Uber story. I was with my
cousins in Nashville celebrating one of their twenty first birthdays
and we got in this Uber and while we were driving,
there was a ton of traffic and.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
The Uber driver was driving really crazy, like stop and
go really fast. Like I was like, oh my gosh,
we're going to get into an accident, and sure enough,
he hit the person in front of us while we.
Speaker 20 (24:38):
Were in the car.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Everyone's okay, thank god, but it was it was just
like a vender bender. And he started to drive away
and I was like, oh.
Speaker 20 (24:45):
My gosh, yes, he was gonna hang and run with
us in the car.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
I was when you have to pull the car over,
and we ended up he ended up pulling over. But
it was the weirdest thing I've ever a.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, maybe his license was expired or something and he
didn't want to get involved.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
But good one. I like that. Well, Nashville's kind of
crazy place.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Hey, do you guys ever fill out that little survey
when you book the uber where they ask.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
You if you want air conditioning or heating, or do
you want to talk or not talk? They actually ask
you those questions.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
I have seen it. I've never filled it out me either. Yeah.
Well yeah, if you don't want someone that's going to
speak to you.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Yeah, it's just too involved, just bring the car.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Yeah, so they have an option? Do they have an
option for like helping with luggage?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I haven't seen that, but it's usually time based, right,
It's always like which car is going to get here
the quickest?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I know where he's going with the luggage thing. Poor Bill.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
You know they didn't help with the luggage. You didn't
like it.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
This is land uber driver for the luggage. I only
help ladies and old people.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I don't help young men. Because even if you do
that did not dip. Well, Bill's not necessarily a spring chicken.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Okay, there, all that matters is that he thought I
was a young man.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
He did, yes, and he still got tipped regardless.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah. I mean, it's just it's curiosity. I say, there
are not complaints, they're curiosity. Is like, why did most
immediately get out of the car and help you with
the luggage, and then some just sit there and say, yeah,
you're on your own.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
I just picture Billy right Lisa, you know, dragging his luggage,
putting it in.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Looking at the guy he'd give it, hid the eyeball.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, this guy who id.
Speaker 19 (26:28):
Of scammed by a lift driver when I was in
LA two years ago. This guy said he was a
lift driver, but he really wasn't.
Speaker 21 (26:33):
He had one of those signs in his car. I
didn't book it through the app.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I was with my brother two.
Speaker 19 (26:37):
In the morning.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
I just want to get back to the hotel.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
And he ended up.
Speaker 19 (26:41):
Taking my MX card, giving me back someone else's MX
card and went on a shopping spree overnight. Oh wrapped
up my MX card thousands of dollars worth of charges.
Speaker 20 (26:51):
I was scammed.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Why that happened to me? Remember somebody scammed my MX card.
Suddenly I had two hundred Uber charges within four days
on my AMEX and we had to file it with AMEX.
The weird thing about it, AMEX paid for it, you know,
because they knew it was a hack. But they denied
Michelle and Uber from then on, like she did something wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Like that was, no, I have to use lyftxx or.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I have to book the Uber now, which means we're
booking the book.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Oh right, So she's banned from Uber from the app.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Yeah, and it's because we were victims of fraud credit
card fraud, and yet they canceled Michelle's Uber account.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Well, let's go to Todd in line one. You didn't
need him.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Hey Todd, what's up?
Speaker 15 (27:36):
Hey, guys love the show. We were in Silly about
a year ago, and you know, left an hour early
to go to seventy six ers game. The hotel was
maybe fifteen minutes away, so we'd have a ton of
time to explore the arena. After about twenty minutes, we
look on the Uber driver's map and it says arrival
times thirty minutes. And we said to me, are you
going the right way? Said, oh, yeah, I'm fine, and
(27:56):
novas Aria, I know Ways better than Uber does, better
than Ways does. And you know, next thing, we know,
we're crossing a bridge and we're like, isn't that in
New Jersey? To tell us, you know, you were not
in a great place, so what's across the bridge? We said,
do us a favor, can we just get out here?
You let us out there, and within about five seconds
(28:17):
the Uber app said, it looks like you've departed early
from your vehicle? Would you like another one? And you
know they sent another car. We got there just on time.
But wow, yeah, no idea where he was taking us,
but it could have been ride.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
I will say Uber is a very well run organization,
as is Lyft. Can you remember him when we didn't
have Uber? An incredible yeah, invention.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I know Uber left imagine being an early investor into
Uber h and Kutcher was an early investor.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
It was if someone would tell you that you would
hop into a stranger's car and take off, you'd be like, no,
I'm not doing that, but we all do it, and.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
You order it and it's there in like four minutes.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Yeah. We were taught as kids, don't talk to strangers,
don't get in.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
People's car right, and that's exactly what we do.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Now, that's what we do every single day.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
All right, let's do it the number one moment of
the week. So on a Thursday, late in the show,
we had some breaking news about sports betting, and this
became a story that we could not have even imagined
the scope of.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
The massive two year investigation into illegal sports betting, fixing games,
faking injury, sharing inside information. Thirty people arrested, including three
former Celtics players. The scandal involving the NBA and the mafia.
The FBI had this message yesterday. My message to the
(29:42):
defendants who've been rounded up today is this your winning
streak has ended.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Your luck has run out.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And now we go to a WBZTV sports guy, Levin Reid.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
He is live on the phone. Levin, I'm not lying.
This is a big buzz story.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
I will say this what I got a chance to hear.
Everything was breaking yessday. The buzzword when we've always heard
the words organized crime. But the FBI directed to tell
when he threw out mafia, it kind of stopped me
in my track and he mentioned organized crime families and
I was like, Okay, what is happening? And I didn't know.
And as you go through it, the one thing I
think we all thought was, Wow, the NBA has got
(30:22):
a huge problem because obviously these are three players, and
they were all doing multiple different things to kind of
gamble and make sure the game was whether it be
rigged or not rigged, or let s the betters know
that something else was going on. And maybe we all
thought when when you know, when they started legalized gambling
and better that something like this would happen, But nobody
(30:45):
knew that it would be so wide ranging, or maybe
they didn't know and we were just naive to it.
But this was.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Crazy yesterday eleven NBA.
Speaker 12 (30:55):
It's not just the NBA, I think, for for what
this was telling says that it could go on all
over the place. It can go on everywhere. I just
think they why they focus on the NBA, because I
just think it's easier to do. You have only twelve
to fourteen players that are on the bench and only
maybe eight or nine that played, so it's easier for
(31:15):
you to say, Okay, this guy, at least for people
who are doing the investigation, they can say this guy
is the guy that's making some of the problems here
instead of you know, we're not looking at Will Campbell
on the offensive line and saying I don't want to
put his name out there with this thing. An offensive
lineman making a mistake and letting a guy go through.
It was very easy to do point shaving, as they've
done in the past. And it seems like the NBA
(31:37):
has always been, whether it be with Tim donaghy and
the refereeing now we have players and coaches, they always
seem front and center when it comes to gambling and
just illegal things that to help the game get along
and help the better, it's kind of profit well.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Ironically, it seems like recently we've been seeing more stories
involving refsandor empires, and I think for all.
Speaker 12 (32:01):
Of us, it's a reason why when we watch games,
when we're looking for flags and when we're looking for something,
what's the first thing that everybody?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Game six everything?
Speaker 12 (32:10):
Because every game.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Everybody is talking about it. Here's some of what Shaq
had to say yesterday.
Speaker 23 (32:15):
I'm ashamed that those guys will put their families and
their careers in jeopardy like that. There's ald saying in
the hood, all money ain't good money. So if you're
making nine million dollars, and you're dealing a certain things
like how much how much more do you need? Especially
especially if you know you get caught, you can do
jail time, lose your career, you know, put and put,
(32:38):
you know, put put a bad image on yourself or
your family or on the NBA. They dropped the.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Ball, and Levin, here's someone what step and a smith
had to say, Yes.
Speaker 26 (32:46):
Floracity and the substance of the case itself, that has
to be determined and that has to bear out, and
we have to keep our eyes and ears to the
to the grind about that, to the cipher. You know
how significant this is. But there's no question that it's serious.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
So Levin, you think it's going to spread to other sports?
Speaker 12 (33:08):
I think I think the one thing that was taken
when I listened to all of that one, I think
I don't know for that. I think it's I don't
know if it's not already going on in other sports.
So I can't say if it's going to spread or not.
I would be naive to say that it's not going on.
But if you listen to the conversation that they had
with FBI directed Ptel when he said that and when
we all understand that Terry Rozier, he was brought up
(33:30):
on an NBA investigation a couple of years ago and
they took his phone and then they just let him go.
So in my mind when I read all of that stuff,
I thought, well, this is because of that. Maybe the
NBA was was on it, and the FBI was like, no, no, no,
no no, We've been working on this for a long time.
Way away from this. Well, you mentioned this because we
(33:51):
need to get finish this story.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
You mentioned Terry Rose here justin had a video montage
earlier this morning that somebody dropped overnight last night, and god,
some of the things he was doing on the court
were really obvious.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
He was throwing games like.
Speaker 12 (34:07):
Games like he's grabbing an ankle, he's moving this way,
he's shaking injuries on the side. It was weird to watch.
And again like, but if you're not looking for it,
you don't you don't think about it. But when you
when this is brought into you know, to the forefront,
you're thinking to yourself, oh my god, what is that
all about. It's it's a It was it was a bombshell.
(34:29):
It was a bombshell to watch this all kind of
unravel yesterday in front of our eyes.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
And we haven't even talked about the poker side of it,
Like all the machines and everything with the X rays
looking at the cards from the underside. When are we
gonna start learning how many people lost so much money?
Speaker 12 (34:46):
I felt like we were watching like Ocean's eleven. Yes,
they were describing it. I was like, Oh, they were
like cameras underneath the tables. I'm like, I've heard of that,
and camel's in the card dishes. I was like, I
know about that. I'm like, how how far reaching were
they for that all these players and were losing tens
and millions of dollars? Man, you know, and and and
(35:07):
again through different types of crime families that were involved.
And again I felt it felt strange for him for
them to mention crime families and then throw out the
family's means. I was like, oh, like it was such
a weird thing that we because again we're not watching
Good Fellas. This was Thursday afternoon, Levin.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I thought the same thing they said Macassanostra, I said
that still exists.
Speaker 12 (35:34):
I literally was again I would have walked by the
television if they said, and you know organized crime families.
When he said Mafiasa, he said the Gambino family.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
I'm like, oh man.
Speaker 12 (35:44):
It was like, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
These guys walking around with derby hats and tiny cigars
and I'm like, oh boy, well that's.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Going to do it for the best of Billy and
Lisa in the morning, it's producer Riley Hey a reminder
that we are doing the jingle Ball Jackpot. We're going

It's the best a billion Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey guys, good morning, Welcome into the best of Billy
and Lisa in the Morning, gets producer Riley. We are
about to have a perfect fall Saturday, so I am
looking forward to it.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
I'm glad that you guys are starting your day.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Here on Kiss one eight and this is the perfect
weekend to go around looking at Halloween decor We were
talking this week about Halloween decorations and how they're getting
a little bit out of hand, but man, are they
cool to look at.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is number five.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
So I was out walking the dog the last couple
of nights, right, and when I'm walking the dog, I'm
going through the neighborhood and I can't help but notice
it seems that this year the Halloween decorations are.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Over the top.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
And I got to tell you something, I don't mind.
I really like it.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
They're over the top and they're themed, which is very cool.
There's one house in Phoenix where it's a Swifties delight.
It is all Taylor Swift Life of a sh Girl
has been added. They do bracelet making, they do all
this fun stuff. So then we started talking like is
this fun for people? Or is it not so much
(01:10):
fun for people.
Speaker 7 (01:10):
I mean, it's definitely over the top. Every year, I
feel like it's crazier and crazier. I'm in Salemon, Hampshire,
and I've seen so many houses with all the giant skeletons.
I mean, they go all out.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
But if you live next door to that, I guess
that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
That's the issue. I don't have any craziness next to me.
But down the street there's a house. They must have
spent one hundred grande on the house. No, they have
all the decorations on the front lawn, but then the
windows are done, and then the roof is done too.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Well, two or three blocks down the street from us,
justin I keep needing to send you pictures. I want
to take pictures in the night because this particular house
this year has at least thirteen of those giant skeletons.
But they've got all kinds of new stuff too. It's amazing,
and I keep meaning to send you a picture. And again,
Lisa made a point off the air earlier this morning,
(02:02):
it's okay with Halloween because it comes down comes down
after Halloween.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
It's not like Christmas. Decorations that are up forever.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
So, but my question is do the Halloween houses do
they roll into Christmas in the same way.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Well, I will say that giant skeletons, it's very common
to leave them up year round and then you know,
decorate them for the different holidays. So you're probably gonna
see some skeletons with a Santa hat.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, why take them down? Just put some Santa stuff
on it.
Speaker 7 (02:29):
By the way, that's the reason I really didn't want
to get the giant skeleton from that. My wife wanted
it would never come down. Yeah, wow, that would be
like it would be like chickens around.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Well, they're so hard to put up right an anchor,
I guess.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
But you just leave them up.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
There's right across the streets from us, and I was
waiting for this guy to put his Halloween stuff up
because I look forward to it every year. He has
a giant witch. When I tell you, it's three stories
high and like lit. They've got a fire under the
witch's dressed and it burns, burns at night. And I'm
telling y, I enjoy that Halloween decoration.
Speaker 8 (03:02):
I love any type of lieration.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
I think it's fun and I think about when I
was and I loved seeing Christmas lights and Halloween decorations.
Makes everything way more festive because the world is so
miserable now and everyone sucks.
Speaker 10 (03:17):
Yeah, but here's the thing, there's.
Speaker 9 (03:21):
A fine line between being festive and it being obnoxious.
You got to take other people into consideration with noises
and bright lights and all of that.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Well, it's sooner for the kids too.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
If you want to take your kids to walk around
the neighborhood, you don't even have to get in the car.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
And it's so creative, Like that's what I love the mustle, Like, wow,
that's so cool. We even saw one recently. One of
our listeners sent us a Jordan Hudson Bill Belichick themed
front house.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I saw that.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
I think Bill had a rip jersey on the rip.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Creative, creative, creative.
Speaker 11 (03:54):
My parents neighborhood growing up never did any sort of
decorations for Halloween.
Speaker 10 (03:58):
Even for like Christmas.
Speaker 11 (04:00):
It was like light lights on the bushes and candles.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
In the windows.
Speaker 11 (04:04):
Now it's like this new generation of families is having
a full fledged competition for who can have this Bookies's house.
There's one house with three of the twelve foot skeletons.
There's one house with like life size skeletons climbing up
the windows. There's this other house with this like cursed
witch that hangs in a tree.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
It's barkers.
Speaker 12 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Charlestown has gotten out of control too, especially around the
Bunker Hill monuments, some of the townhouses and brownstones there.
And by the way, Pierce six the restaurant in Charlestown,
just noticed the other day they have these giant octopus tentacles,
like giant hanging over the side of the restaurant. I
didn't know what was going on until it hit me.
I said, Oh, it's for Halloween.
Speaker 7 (04:46):
Yeah, see, that's cool. I like that, But I think
about the people that live next door to some of
these houses, not only the lights of you know they're allowed,
and the sounds, but the people that come to look
at the well. Yeah, now you have traffic, people stopping.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
In your neighborhood.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
You can get it. Yeah, random people.
Speaker 13 (05:01):
I wish I got trigger treaders. We don't get any
on the street.
Speaker 11 (05:04):
But I think the Halloween lights and the over the
topness is a bit much for me.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
All right, Well, little Halloween grinch there, what.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
The good news is it's your home.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
You do whatever you want. Yeah, nobody gets hurt. And
again kids can walk around the neighborhood at night and say.
Speaker 7 (05:21):
Oh, there's a house in my neighborhood that has a
big Halloween party for all the kids when sun goes
this Saturday actually, and they go all out and they
build their own haunted house so they have all the
decorations and then on their party, you go there. They
have a big event and it's legit haunted house you
can walk through.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
So it's open to the public. Anyone can go walk
through it.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
To get invited. But it's for the neighborhood kids in
the neighborhood. I mean, that's fun.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
It is.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Halloween is so much fun.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Well, it's that time a year again, Halloween time, and
we are seeing some crazy decorations this year. Hey, it's
producer Riley. This is the best of Billion Lisa in
the Morning, where I'm counting down the top five moments of.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
The week with you. This is number four.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Did you guys hear about that Halloween house in Arizona
that has a Taylor Swift theme?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Hushtag Taylor's Halloween House, Phoenix Life of a Show, Gooul
is one of the most popular little vignettes in the
front of the house, and this person actually invites people
to come to the neighborhood and see it.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Don't you think Taylor should go?
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I think she should or at least like say something
on social about it or like the post.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
Well, Taylor could be making her way to Lisa's town
of Milton. What there's a hot tip.
Speaker 13 (06:32):
That's just in there's a house in Milton, Lisa. You
need to drive by that. They dress up all the
skeletons as Taylor Swift in all her errors.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
They also have Travis.
Speaker 13 (06:44):
And Jason Kelsey sitting at a table for their podcasts,
but it's all the different errors of Taylor Swift with
different skeletons. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh so they're doing Phoenix in Milton.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah, I'd like this, you know, people getting creative.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I mean these are crazy times, right, everything's crazy, So
to do something that's fun, I think it's great.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (07:09):
I find it for people who decorate for Halloween who
don't have children.
Speaker 10 (07:14):
There's a guy who lives in my neighborhood who lives.
Speaker 15 (07:16):
In this huge house completely alone, but he decorates his
house for Halloween.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
What's up with that?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Well, that happens a lot, but it's because a lot
of these.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Guys are like retired, you know, they're not going to
work every day and they just want something to do
to entertain themselves and the neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
I see that a lot too.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Yeah, Oh, you love the kids.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Can you make some noise? Let them know you their kids? Samantha?
Can I get a what? What?
Speaker 12 (07:42):
You know?
Speaker 7 (07:43):
What I mean? People go to Disney without kids?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Where do you think Samantha is right now?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
She's traumatized from Top thirty experience.
Speaker 16 (07:53):
So I've set up my Halloween decorations this year. It's
a bunch of cardboard cutouts, life size, one being Billy
kind of hiding behind bushes, and the rest of them
being a Little League game being played that he's very
much enjoying watching.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
Yeah, Billy's a big fan of the Little League World Series.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Why do I seem to print so creepy?
Speaker 7 (08:15):
I don't know, I don't know. Are you the guy
that the odwall? You have kids, but you know they
don't live with you. You could be the odd guy?
You don't You don't decorate for Halloween? Right?
Speaker 17 (08:24):
No?
Speaker 5 (08:24):
And we don't get tricky treaters. You know, we're in
a you know, you're in a building.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Historical schoolhouse, and you know nobody can get in the building.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
So it's oh, so you're in Okay? So are you
in Medford or Charlestown right now?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Are still in Charlestown?
Speaker 7 (08:37):
Okay?
Speaker 11 (08:38):
From Phil Recca.
Speaker 18 (08:40):
My son goes to Charlestown every year for Halloween because
that's where his dad is from. They shut down all
the roads around the monument and the training field and
they just gear it towards kids and it's amazing. Honestly,
anybody who can get their.
Speaker 10 (08:56):
Should go there.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
You go, Bill, Yeah, Charlestown gets bigger with it every
single year.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
This year is really over the top. Just head for
the Bunker Hill Monument.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
That neighborhood with all the brownstones is decorated beautifully. My
friend's Charlie and Brook, their house is outstanding. In Pier six,
you said, right, Peer six, which they owned in Charlestown.
I'm telling you giant I didn't know what it was.
Giant octopus tentacles hanging down the sides of the restaurant
Pier six.
Speaker 13 (09:24):
So the owner of Pier six also lives across from
that Bunker.
Speaker 11 (09:29):
Hill monument and they have those syntentacals, so we'll go
over that.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Yeah, yeah, Charlie and Brook.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
Yeah, pretty cool.
Speaker 19 (09:36):
Every year I think my son to Spirit Halloween is
a tradition. We have three large animatronics in our collection.
Speaker 8 (09:45):
It's so much fun.
Speaker 19 (09:46):
Every year we host a Halloween party.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
The kids love it.
Speaker 19 (09:50):
And Lomas he brings me street as we'll continue with
our animatronic collection.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Yo. Spirit Halloween is a place I know you probably
haven't been in there recently. I went to one in Salem,
New Hampshire. It is unbelievable. In there, they have a
whole display in the middle like you can walk in.
They have giant animatronics everywhere.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Great for kids, it's really great. They can run around.
I mean I put the mask on and my daughter
run out this store screaming.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
But well throughout New England, there are so many cool
places you can go to celebrate Halloween.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
I mean Salem, yes.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
Here, you've got Salem. Now you've got Charlestown. You obviously
have Beacon.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Hill in the back bay.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Oh God, legendary.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Bring the kids into Boston and go to Charlestown and
then go to Beacon Hill.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
And all the different mazes, it farms all over New
England and Hallow.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
It's amazing, so many places to go.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
New England really is the Halloween spot.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
If you think about it, I think so we'll Salem
is the Halloween capital of the world.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
I think yep.
Speaker 17 (10:47):
So don't get me wrong. I love the decorating. I
think it's super fun. My kids love it. We like
to go around and look at them. But the Halloween
one sometimes can be a bit obnoxious. They're very shreve lighty,
and as someone who lives next door to someone who
goes all out, it is really distracting when watching Survivor
and every little creek or crevice of a window that
(11:10):
doesn't have a cover on it is strobe lighting in
every room of my house.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, I want to hear from some of the people
who hate the neighbor because the neighbor.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Is one of those over the top decorators.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Well, stroke light, I gotta know that's going on. The
strobe lights are very obnoxious. Yeah, I went through. I
went to Screenfest at Canoby last weekend and the coolest
part of one of the haunted houses was the strobe light.
And I remember thinking like, oh, this is cool to
walk through for two seconds, never mind if it's right
next to you.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Twenty four hours.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
Yeah, it's like NonStop.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
We've got somebody on the phone right now. Linda, Good morning.
Speaker 20 (11:45):
Good morning. How's everyone this morning?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
We're good. What's your story around Halloween?
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Linda.
Speaker 20 (11:50):
I live in Easton, which is near Foxborough Mansfield, and
I've lived in the neighborhoods for thirty years. And now
we have kids that have kids that are my kids.
Speaker 21 (12:00):
And they have a whole entire house that these younger
kids bring the screen down so the whole entire side
of the house is covered, and they have kids Halloween
movies playing the whole entire night, and they have like
thirty five forty chairs for the little kids to sit
if they get tired. And then they have a whole
(12:21):
setup of like a cauldron in the middle where it
can where the kids get their candy.
Speaker 20 (12:27):
And then they have a whole bar setup that's made
like an adult cauldron and you can have beer and wine.
Speaker 15 (12:34):
That odd.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
I want to move to east It is so cool.
Speaker 20 (12:39):
We have people that like now come from all different
places and it's kind of a secluded neighborhood, so like
you can park your cars down the road and then
kind of walk into the neighborhood. There's like thirty five
forty houses and it's it's it's.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Pretty it's pretty special.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Lind Are we talking about a cash bar?
Speaker 18 (12:59):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (12:59):
No, no, cat, But they talked about doing something this
year as a cash bar, and they're deciding on a
charity that they're going to support.
Speaker 14 (13:06):
Sure here, so do you.
Speaker 20 (13:08):
Want to come down and have a beer or a
glass of wine? You know it'll go to a good charity.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
But read beer and wine.
Speaker 20 (13:15):
Listening, Yeah, beer and wine. Well, we have Shoveltown Brewery
in our town and it's a big local brewery here,
and so I don't know, there may be some coordination
with them, and they may come and kind of do
a little boots.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who knows.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Well, Linda, we're all coming. We're going to park in.
Speaker 20 (13:32):
Your driveway, all right, go ahead, I'll give it my
address later.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
You know, there is a lot of fake news out
there nowadays, and Justin wanted to put Billy and Lisa
to the test. Hey, it's producer Riley. This is the
best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning. So he
took some real headlines and some fake headlines to see
if he could stump them.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
Lisa, you're up first. It is Halloween next week, but
it's Halloween season. How about a mon I'm in California
bought an old Scream mask at Goodwill and found out
it was worth a lot more than she paid for.
She ended up selling it for eight hundred dollars. Is
that a real story or a fake story?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I'm gonna say it's fake.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
You're saying fake? Final answer?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, that's real.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
Oh it is real.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
The woman went into the thrift store. She bought a
ghost face mask when the movie Scream, but the one
that she bought actually came out five years before the
movie came out.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
So she bought it for very little and sold it
for eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 22 (14:36):
I put it on an eBay option, starting it ninety
nine cents because A I don't know about these things
and B I'm not here to pricecouch, And within thirty
minutes it went from ninety nine cents to four hundred
and five dollars, and then the day after that five forty,
and a few days after that five sixty, and with
an hour left of auction, it jumped to seven hundred, and.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
The winning bid was seven hundred and eighty dollars.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
You never know where you'll find a goodwill, right question.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Yes, what's the buyer gonna do with it?
Speaker 7 (15:03):
It's a collector's item. The movie came out in nineteen
ninety one. This came out five years before that. Ah,
it's an original.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Man collector's item.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Of course.
Speaker 23 (15:13):
There you go.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
All right, Moving on, Bill, I know you were just
in Africa. You saw a lot of animals, including zebra.
As you were up close and personal.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
A lot of zebra. It's my favorite animal.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
How about this zoo in Kansas have started a rent
a zebra fundraiser to raise money. You can rent a zebra?
Is that a real or a fake story?
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I'm gonna say that's a real story. I would rent
a zebra.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I know you would, So you're saying it's a real story.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Final answer, final answer.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
Zero for two.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You can't rent a zebra.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
You cannot rent a zebra.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yet, maybe somebody this is your new business venture.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I'm gonna go out and get a bunch of zebra.
Is it zebra plural or zebras?
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Oh that's a good question. It's been a long time
since I've been in school, so we'll have to look
that up. Okay, all right, next headline, Lisa are fake.
There's been some rain in Arizona recently and some rare
toads have been coming out and people are licking them
to try to get high. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
I can have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I'm gonna say it's real.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
Real headline, real story. Final answer? Is that your final answer?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
I don't even know because it could be true and
it could not be true.
Speaker 7 (16:24):
Well that's the point. That's the fun of the game, right,
fifty to fifty shot.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Final answer, I don't know, Like say, looking toads real
or fake?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Wait to get what?
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Why are they looking to getting high?
Speaker 7 (16:38):
You're looking toads in Arizona to try.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
To get Okay, I'm gonna say it's real.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
You're gonna say real, Yeah, it is real. Authorities are
telling people not to lick these toads and to keep
pets away from them because they could be bad.
Speaker 23 (16:51):
Bad.
Speaker 7 (16:52):
You shouldn't be looking toads anyway.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Yeah they could. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
All right, Well did you get on your tongue?
Speaker 7 (16:59):
I'm not sure, but I do have a zoologist whose
German shepherd survived licking one of the toads.
Speaker 14 (17:05):
The first thing I would do is take a garden
hose and flush their tongue and then make plans to
get to an emergency clinic right away. The key thing
is you want to keep their body temperature from spiking
because that can lead to seizure and death. And so
you know, quicker into the tongue, work that tongue, get
that slime off.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So all of that is possible seizures that like wide lick.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Well, the humans are licking them to try to get high. Yeah,
because you know people are crazy, but the animals are
licking them because they're animals.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
They're they're curious.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
Yeaeah.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
So at the end of the day, that tongue.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But don't lick the toad, correct.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
All right? Bill Railer. Fake story. A man was arrested
for stealing a twelve thousand dollars twelve thousand dollars in
Halloween decorations to try to keep up with his neighbors.
Is that a rail or a fake story? Some people
have huge displays. Are yeah, IIan skeletons, I drive by
a lot, are elaborate.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Okay, I'm going to say it's real. He paid twelve
grand real.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Final answer, that's a fake story, Bill, Okay, it so listen.
It's a fifty to fifty shot. It is what it is.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
And I hope people that are listening in their cars
are playing along. Right, This is like afy game to play.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Along with, right, Lisa, reel or fake story. We talked
a lot about chickens this week. The chickens at my
house are under attack from raccoons. But in China, a
new trend is piercings for chickens, and this is catching on.
Real or fake?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
You mean piercings for chickens.
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Like piercings, piercing the chickens like they're different parts of it.
That's horrible, horrible, But is it real? It's in China
that reel or fake?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Oh, this is awful China piercings for chickens. I'm going
to say it's real.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
Final answer.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I'm glad If it were real, Justin's wife Jen would
be piercing the chickens in the backyard.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
No, she loves the chickens.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I think that that's like it's animal cruelty.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
Definitely.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah, I'm glad. It's fake.
Speaker 7 (19:10):
All right, Bill, last one, all right, fifty to fifty
shot here on our railer. Fake headlines, Coler. You know
they make toilets, They make sense, very good. They just
debuted a new six hundred dollars toilet camera that watches
you go and then analyzes the results to track your health.
Bill Costa, is this a real or a fake story?
Speaker 17 (19:31):
Oh?
Speaker 24 (19:31):

our topic time and honestly, some of you guys might
just want to start taking blue bikes.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
It's number two.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Let's go to the phones first, and Katie, you're calling
from Wellesley. You have an uber a story for us?
Speaker 4 (20:53):

Speaker 1 (20:53):
My husband is an uber driver. Oh good, and he
absolutely hates drunk women because he says they're really, really loud, i'mnoxious.
And he's had like a couple of people, men in particular,
proposition him for sex.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I'm sorry, is your husband like a strikingly handsome dude?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I think he is, but I don't know what other
people think.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
So let me get this.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
So guys, get in the backseat of his zuber and
come on to him.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Yes, ah, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Did he ever bring anybody home?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
No, he hasn't brought anybody home.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
That was a good story.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Yeah, I like that one. That's a good start.

Thank you Katie for the call from beautiful Wellesley. Let's
go to BC and Waltham.
Speaker 5 (21:38):

Thanks taking the call. So I'm not strikingly handsome like
the last callers husband on Chicago about two weeks ago
for a conference. So I happened to be about six to two,
maybe like three hundred and ten pounds, And of course
the uber pulls up. The uber is a like a
pres you know. Of course the driver happens to be
about the same size as me, but about two feet shorter,
(22:02):
and she has the seat so far back that she's
literally looking like eyeball the eyeball with me. So I'm like, oh,
this is gonna be a long ride. So the ride
from where I was to you know, O'Hare was about
an hour and forty five minutes.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Oh god.
Speaker 25 (22:18):
The first words out of this woman's mouth now, I'm
married with two kids, kids play hockey, the whole thing,
like we're always like running crazy. And the first words
out of the slady's mouth is, you know, my husband's
not acting right at home. I'm like, oh no, Like
I can't wave. I hear this at home a lot.
I can't just for an hour for five minutes, so, uh,
it was an interesting ride to say the least.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Wait a minute, she said, what, my husband's not home
right now.
Speaker 25 (22:41):
No, just not acting right at home. And I'm like, oh, lady,
please don't do this to me for an hour and
forty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
So oh she wanted to chat.
Speaker 25 (22:50):
Oh no, she was saying he was not acting right,
like she wanted to complain about her husband. It's about
precisely a lot of the same things we were doing
at home myself. So you know, it wasn't a great
ride for me.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Sure, Yeah, hour and forty five minutes. Oh boy, all right,
thanks for the call. BC. Let's go to Hillary. Hillary
is in Newton. Good morning, Hillary, Good morning.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
So.
Speaker 10 (23:12):
I had I tend to chat a lot with Uber
drivers and we were just chatting about life, and he asked.
Speaker 21 (23:20):
If I was married, if.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
I had kids, and he wasn't coming on to me,
but you know, I said no.
Speaker 10 (23:26):
And he was like, oh, well, you can't be happy,
and I was like, I'm very happy.
Speaker 19 (23:32):
And he called me a liar.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
He said, you're a liar.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Confrontation a car.
Speaker 18 (23:39):
He called me a liar and then I was gotten
out of the car.
Speaker 19 (23:43):
But we were on the highway and when we got
to where I was.
Speaker 10 (23:46):
Going, he was like, well, I have someone I could
set you off with.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Oh god, I'm.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
So happy I had something to say. I was like, well,
if he's anything like you, I'm not interested.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
And I thought, how it.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Was a car.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, Hillary, can will you ask you a question? Are
you happy right now?
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I am very happy.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Let's go to Jordan. We're getting a lot of calls.
Good morning, Jordan, good morning.
Speaker 21 (24:13):
How are you guys doing today?
Speaker 5 (24:14):
We're great? Go ahead.
Speaker 8 (24:17):
So I have an Uber story. I was with my
cousins in Nashville celebrating one of their twenty first birthdays
and we got in this Uber and while we were driving,
there was a ton of traffic and.
Speaker 10 (24:29):
The Uber driver was driving really crazy, like stop and
go really fast. Like I was like, oh my gosh,
we're going to get into an accident, and sure enough,
he hit the person in front of us while we.
Speaker 20 (24:38):
Were in the car.
Speaker 10 (24:39):
Everyone's okay, thank god, but it was it was just
like a vender bender. And he started to drive away
and I was like, oh.
Speaker 20 (24:45):
My gosh, yes, he was gonna hang and run with
us in the car.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
I was when you have to pull the car over,
and we ended up he ended up pulling over. But
it was the weirdest thing I've ever a.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, maybe his license was expired or something and he
didn't want to get involved.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
But good one. I like that. Well, Nashville's kind of
crazy place.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Hey, do you guys ever fill out that little survey
when you book the uber where they ask.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
You if you want air conditioning or heating, or do
you want to talk or not talk? They actually ask
you those questions.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
I have seen it. I've never filled it out me either. Yeah.
Well yeah, if you don't want someone that's going to
speak to you.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Yeah, it's just too involved, just bring the car.
Speaker 7 (25:27):
Yeah, so they have an option? Do they have an
option for like helping with luggage?
Speaker 6 (25:31):
I haven't seen that, but it's usually time based, right,
It's always like which car is going to get here
the quickest?
Speaker 5 (25:38):
I know where he's going with the luggage thing. Poor Bill.
Speaker 7 (25:41):
You know they didn't help with the luggage. You didn't
like it.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
This is land uber driver for the luggage. I only
help ladies and old people.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
I don't help young men. Because even if you do
that did not dip. Well, Bill's not necessarily a spring chicken.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Okay, there, all that matters is that he thought I
was a young man.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
He did, yes, and he still got tipped regardless.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Yeah. I mean, it's just it's curiosity. I say, there
are not complaints, they're curiosity. Is like, why did most
immediately get out of the car and help you with
the luggage, and then some just sit there and say, yeah,
you're on your own.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
I just picture Billy right Lisa, you know, dragging his luggage,
putting it in.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Looking at the guy he'd give it, hid the eyeball.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, this guy who id.
Speaker 19 (26:28):
Of scammed by a lift driver when I was in
LA two years ago. This guy said he was a
lift driver, but he really wasn't.
Speaker 21 (26:33):
He had one of those signs in his car. I
didn't book it through the app.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I was with my brother two.
Speaker 19 (26:37):
In the morning.
Speaker 8 (26:38):
I just want to get back to the hotel.
Speaker 5 (26:40):
And he ended up.
Speaker 19 (26:41):
Taking my MX card, giving me back someone else's MX
card and went on a shopping spree overnight. Oh wrapped
up my MX card thousands of dollars worth of charges.
Speaker 20 (26:51):
I was scammed.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Why that happened to me? Remember somebody scammed my MX card.
Suddenly I had two hundred Uber charges within four days
on my AMEX and we had to file it with AMEX.
The weird thing about it, AMEX paid for it, you know,
because they knew it was a hack. But they denied
Michelle and Uber from then on, like she did something wrong.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Like that was, no, I have to use lyftxx or.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I have to book the Uber now, which means we're
booking the book.
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Oh right, So she's banned from Uber from the app.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
Yeah, and it's because we were victims of fraud credit
card fraud, and yet they canceled Michelle's Uber account.
Speaker 7 (27:31):
Well, let's go to Todd in line one. You didn't
need him.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Hey Todd, what's up?
Speaker 15 (27:36):
Hey, guys love the show. We were in Silly about
a year ago, and you know, left an hour early
to go to seventy six ers game. The hotel was
maybe fifteen minutes away, so we'd have a ton of
time to explore the arena. After about twenty minutes, we
look on the Uber driver's map and it says arrival
times thirty minutes. And we said to me, are you
going the right way? Said, oh, yeah, I'm fine, and
(27:56):
novas Aria, I know Ways better than Uber does, better
than Ways does. And you know, next thing, we know,
we're crossing a bridge and we're like, isn't that in
New Jersey? To tell us, you know, you were not
in a great place, so what's across the bridge? We said,
do us a favor, can we just get out here?
You let us out there, and within about five seconds
(28:17):
the Uber app said, it looks like you've departed early
from your vehicle? Would you like another one? And you
know they sent another car. We got there just on time.
But wow, yeah, no idea where he was taking us,
but it could have been ride.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
I will say Uber is a very well run organization,
as is Lyft. Can you remember him when we didn't
have Uber? An incredible yeah, invention.
Speaker 7 (28:41):
I know Uber left imagine being an early investor into
Uber h and Kutcher was an early investor.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
It was if someone would tell you that you would
hop into a stranger's car and take off, you'd be like, no,
I'm not doing that, but we all do it, and.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
You order it and it's there in like four minutes.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Yeah. We were taught as kids, don't talk to strangers,
don't get in.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
People's car right, and that's exactly what we do.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Now, that's what we do every single day.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
All right, let's do it the number one moment of
the week. So on a Thursday, late in the show,
we had some breaking news about sports betting, and this
became a story that we could not have even imagined
the scope of.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
The massive two year investigation into illegal sports betting, fixing games,
faking injury, sharing inside information. Thirty people arrested, including three
former Celtics players. The scandal involving the NBA and the mafia.
The FBI had this message yesterday. My message to the
(29:42):
defendants who've been rounded up today is this your winning
streak has ended.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
Your luck has run out.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And now we go to a WBZTV sports guy, Levin Reid.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
He is live on the phone. Levin, I'm not lying.
This is a big buzz story.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
I will say this what I got a chance to hear.
Everything was breaking yessday. The buzzword when we've always heard
the words organized crime. But the FBI directed to tell
when he threw out mafia, it kind of stopped me
in my track and he mentioned organized crime families and
I was like, Okay, what is happening? And I didn't know.
And as you go through it, the one thing I
think we all thought was, Wow, the NBA has got
(30:22):
a huge problem because obviously these are three players, and
they were all doing multiple different things to kind of
gamble and make sure the game was whether it be
rigged or not rigged, or let s the betters know
that something else was going on. And maybe we all
thought when when you know, when they started legalized gambling
and better that something like this would happen, But nobody
(30:45):
knew that it would be so wide ranging, or maybe
they didn't know and we were just naive to it.
But this was.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Crazy yesterday eleven NBA.
Speaker 12 (30:55):
It's not just the NBA, I think, for for what
this was telling says that it could go on all
over the place. It can go on everywhere. I just
think they why they focus on the NBA, because I
just think it's easier to do. You have only twelve
to fourteen players that are on the bench and only
maybe eight or nine that played, so it's easier for
(31:15):
you to say, Okay, this guy, at least for people
who are doing the investigation, they can say this guy
is the guy that's making some of the problems here
instead of you know, we're not looking at Will Campbell
on the offensive line and saying I don't want to
put his name out there with this thing. An offensive
lineman making a mistake and letting a guy go through.
It was very easy to do point shaving, as they've
done in the past. And it seems like the NBA
(31:37):
has always been, whether it be with Tim donaghy and
the refereeing now we have players and coaches, they always
seem front and center when it comes to gambling and
just illegal things that to help the game get along
and help the better, it's kind of profit well.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Ironically, it seems like recently we've been seeing more stories
involving refsandor empires, and I think for all.
Speaker 12 (32:01):
Of us, it's a reason why when we watch games,
when we're looking for flags and when we're looking for something,
what's the first thing that everybody?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Game six everything?
Speaker 12 (32:10):
Because every game.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Everybody is talking about it. Here's some of what Shaq
had to say yesterday.
Speaker 23 (32:15):
I'm ashamed that those guys will put their families and
their careers in jeopardy like that. There's ald saying in
the hood, all money ain't good money. So if you're
making nine million dollars, and you're dealing a certain things
like how much how much more do you need? Especially
especially if you know you get caught, you can do
jail time, lose your career, you know, put and put,
(32:38):
you know, put put a bad image on yourself or
your family or on the NBA. They dropped the.
Speaker 5 (32:43):
Ball, and Levin, here's someone what step and a smith
had to say, Yes.
Speaker 26 (32:46):
Floracity and the substance of the case itself, that has
to be determined and that has to bear out, and
we have to keep our eyes and ears to the
to the grind about that, to the cipher. You know
how significant this is. But there's no question that it's serious.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
So Levin, you think it's going to spread to other sports?
Speaker 12 (33:08):
I think I think the one thing that was taken
when I listened to all of that one, I think
I don't know for that. I think it's I don't
know if it's not already going on in other sports.
So I can't say if it's going to spread or not.
I would be naive to say that it's not going on.
But if you listen to the conversation that they had
with FBI directed Ptel when he said that and when
we all understand that Terry Rozier, he was brought up
(33:30):
on an NBA investigation a couple of years ago and
they took his phone and then they just let him go.
So in my mind when I read all of that stuff,
I thought, well, this is because of that. Maybe the
NBA was was on it, and the FBI was like, no, no, no,
no no, We've been working on this for a long time.
Way away from this. Well, you mentioned this because we
(33:51):
need to get finish this story.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
You mentioned Terry Rose here justin had a video montage
earlier this morning that somebody dropped overnight last night, and god,
some of the things he was doing on the court
were really obvious.
Speaker 7 (34:05):
He was throwing games like.
Speaker 12 (34:07):
Games like he's grabbing an ankle, he's moving this way,
he's shaking injuries on the side. It was weird to watch.
And again like, but if you're not looking for it,
you don't you don't think about it. But when you
when this is brought into you know, to the forefront,
you're thinking to yourself, oh my god, what is that
all about. It's it's a It was it was a bombshell.
(34:29):
It was a bombshell to watch this all kind of
unravel yesterday in front of our eyes.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
And we haven't even talked about the poker side of it,
Like all the machines and everything with the X rays
looking at the cards from the underside. When are we
gonna start learning how many people lost so much money?
Speaker 12 (34:46):
I felt like we were watching like Ocean's eleven. Yes,
they were describing it. I was like, Oh, they were
like cameras underneath the tables. I'm like, I've heard of that,
and camel's in the card dishes. I was like, I
know about that. I'm like, how how far reaching were
they for that all these players and were losing tens
and millions of dollars? Man, you know, and and and
(35:07):
again through different types of crime families that were involved.
And again I felt it felt strange for him for
them to mention crime families and then throw out the
family's means. I was like, oh, like it was such
a weird thing that we because again we're not watching
Good Fellas. This was Thursday afternoon, Levin.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I thought the same thing they said Macassanostra, I said
that still exists.
Speaker 12 (35:34):
I literally was again I would have walked by the
television if they said, and you know organized crime families.
When he said Mafiasa, he said the Gambino family.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
I'm like, oh man.
Speaker 12 (35:44):
It was like, what's going on?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
These guys walking around with derby hats and tiny cigars
and I'm like, oh boy, well that's.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Going to do it for the best of Billy and
Lisa in the morning, it's producer Riley Hey a reminder
that we are doing the jingle Ball Jackpot. We're going
