It's the Best a billion Lisa in the Morning. Hey, guys,
have you Saturday.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Welcome into the Best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
It's producer Riley. We have jingle Ball tomorrow. I don't
know how this crept up on us, but in the meantime,
I know what I'm going to be doing, which is
just rewatching the first two episodes of the Taylor Swift documentary.
This week, before the episodes came out, we had a
listener reach out to Justin and say, hey, I'm in

(00:30):
the promo for the documentary. We had to get her
on the phone. Her name is Brink and this is
number five.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
So we've talked a lot about Taylor Swift, especially this morning.
She had the big sit down with Stephen Colbert last night.
We've been running parts of the interview all morning long.
Her two big projects, the concert film in the docuseriies
both dropped tomorrow and Justin got a note from a
listener out there and says, hey, I heard you guys

(00:56):
talking about the new preview for Taylor's docuseries, and I'm
listening to the podcast right now.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
My phone is blowing up.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Because you're talking about Taylor and it so happens. I've
been to seventeen Taylor Swift concerts, including London and in
the front row.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
And she's featured in the document series trailer. She made
the trailer This Girl.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
We talked about this yesterday that I think it's the
best trailer of all time. I can't stop watching it
and the fact that she's in it is just so cool.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
And by the way, she is on the phone right now.
And her name is Brie. Good morning, Bri, good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
Well, first, thank you for listening to us on the
podcast or any time of the day. Okay, First I
got to ask you, Brie, if you don't mind, how

and you've managed to travel the world to seventeen Taylor
Swift shows.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yes, wow, lucky you.

The London show Florence and the Machine came out? For sure?

Speaker 4 (02:02):
You were there?

Speaker 6 (02:04):
Yes, and that is the show that I was featured
in the documentary for one second, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (02:14):
My group chat with my friends was blowing up. They
were like, oh my god, Brie, you're in the like

panicking of it.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I'm looking at right now.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
The screen shot. Yeah, it's the best. It's like the
best preview.

Speaker 6 (02:30):
I agree, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Now the show with Florence in the Machine? Was that
at Wembley Stadium in London?

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Yes, total shock. Yes, it's a great venue.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Wait, so you said you were in the front row. Yeah,
how did you manage that?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
So?

Speaker 6 (02:49):
I actually camped out overnight. And you guys always talk
about how what would you wait in line for? And
that is something that I did in line for. I
went to the show the night before and then directly
after the show, I got in line for the next night.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yes, I have to camp out in London?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
That is passion.

Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah yes, and yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Were you by yourself?

Speaker 6 (03:16):
No, I was with a couple friends, so I had
some support. You know.

Speaker 1 (03:20):

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Now.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
You have to know, Brie, if you listen to the show,
producer Riley is a major swiftye and she yes, it
is so jealous right now, it's.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
A seventeen show. Where do you find all the time?

Speaker 6 (03:33):
You know, I don't spend my money on a lot
of things or my time, so whenever Taylor goes on tour,
I'm like, I'm going to go to as many as
I can.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
Wow, did you watch the Colbert interview last night?

Speaker 6 (03:47):

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, I know. You should have been interviewed there for
the docuseries.

Speaker 7 (04:13):
I know.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
And it's so funny because I don't even remember when
they filmed that part. I don't remember camera being in
front of me, so it was a shock.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Well, she's screaming in the screenshot. She's clearly, you know,
taken her back by what's happening in front of her.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, Brie, I mean that's with the utmost respect. You
kind of seem like a stalker of sorts.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Like I'm okay, have you stalked her in Rhode Island?
Have you tried to get to the mansion orrow.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
No, because I feel like you need to respect her
as a person.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
You know, I took good answer. So out of all
of the millions and millions of people that went to
the Aras tour, the fact that you were chosen to
be in the docu series is like, this is next level, right.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
It's crazy. I can't even believe it.

Speaker 4 (04:56):

Speaker 3 (08:57):
So you were on Nantucket and you did witness the
major street brawl.

That's true, It's true. It happened on Saturday. It was
about two o'clock right on Fedril Street in front of
the boarding house. Which was having its at Ray Ski
party and.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Hold on one second, Hold on one second. They're skiing

We're right in front of boarding house and the Pearl,
and all of a sudden there's like two groups kind
of like the Jets and the Sharks from one side
story only in like Ralph Lauren at Burkery and and
it's twenty somethings versus the sixty something bold which.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Begs the question how can they?

Speaker 10 (10:03):
It was crazy. And then this one girl in a
in a cream sweater kind of looked like she was leaving.
This start in the fight, and the punches started flying.
Clothes are coming off. There's one car parked in the
middle of Federal Street and there's coats on the ground,
a shirt on the ground. There's an older gentleman he's

(10:25):
bleeding down his head that the woman police offers is
running down Federal Steet.

Speaker 11 (10:30):
It was mayhewm Now.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Do you have any idea what they were fighting about?

Speaker 10 (10:36):
No, No, lots of yelling and screaming, and it didn't stop.
After like one altercation they broke apart and then they
started coming back like two or three times.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
But this girl in the cream sweater keeps getting talked to.

Speaker 12 (10:52):
Yeah, I'm looking at her right now in the vide
her and she does like she's definitely the instigator.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
There's always one.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Well she moved from like side to because you're right,
there were like two different fights happening.

Speaker 10 (11:04):
Yes, but it was all of the same couple of groups,
and she just kept trying to get back in.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Now you know what's weird.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
It was right in front of a Christmas tree and
by the way, the police station is about twenty feet away.

Speaker 10 (11:17):
Yes, yes, next street over, and there was a police
car right there, but a woman was banging on it
and no one was in it. And then from like
Saint Mary's Church, this woman police officer come flooding down
the street and was trying to break it up, but
it just kept going.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
So we still don't know why it happened.

Speaker 10 (11:40):
No, No, but there was it was crazy at the
boarding house. It was there were so many people there.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
But you gotta love the woman banging on the police car.
You know she's a Karen, right, she said, come on,
come on, we need help. We need help here totally.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
But you didn't get hurt or hit with a flying punch.

Speaker 10 (11:57):
Or anything, right, No, I did not. I meander Dunn
and made my way to Billy's for dinner, for lunch.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Oh, there's a Billy's there.

Speaker 10 (12:07):
Billy's brand news steakhouse that used to be doing fantastic.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Oh okay, it was Dune. Okay.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, I can't thank you enough for responding to the
billy As Morning show. Can we use you for other
stories of violence?

Speaker 10 (12:22):
Absolutely, give me a cloth.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, you're really good on detail. Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
She just said, somebody left bloodied.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Yeah, it was probably the guy in the video. The
guy got tossed down. Well, a younger guy jumps on
the bigger older guy's back and then they just whips
them on the ground.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
And understand, the Christmas troll is part of Nantucket history.
People wait years to get to the Christmas Troll. I
need the woman instigator to call.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Us a woman. But interestingly enough, that woman the instigator
did not throw a single punch as far as I
can see.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
This in the video, it's producer Riley.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
This is the best of Billy and Lisa, where I
count down the top five moments of the week with you. So,
there was a fight in Nantucket at the holiday stroll.
We had a first hand witness call in and then
we asked, you, guys, what is the craziest holiday fight
you've ever seen? But if you haven't seen the video
of the Nantucket fight, you have to. It's actually insane.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
It was a giant street brawl, right, like a.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Happy event all weekend and then this like melee breaks
out with people like thrown to the ground, bloodied. So
and we were like, what other holiday things have turned.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Or any crazy fights that you just happened upon, And
all of a sudden people are throwing punches, right.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
You want one of me?

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yes? Absolutely.

Speaker 5 (13:36):
I got into a fight while naked because we were
skinny dipping when I was younger. A bunch of guys
and girls, a bunch of us, you know, took off
our clothes and we're in a pool swimming and one
of the guys there had took my shirt and put
it on. He got out and put my shirt on. Yeah,
so I was asking him, you know, take it off,
and he wouldn't. So we ended up having some words
naked and I was naked, he had the shirt and

(13:56):
the shorts on. And then we got into a fistfight
and I was able to win the fight. I mean,
it was a tough fight, but he ended up submitting
and there I was just standing naked with everyone looking
at me.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Oh he tapped out at your feet and then there
you are naked.

Speaker 12 (14:10):
He had enough. But it was a good fight, you know. Okay,
let's go to Michelle. She's our first caller in this discussion.
She's going in from Whitman. Good morning, Michelle, Good morning guys.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
How are you good?

Speaker 4 (14:22):
So you ran into a fight.

Speaker 13 (14:25):
I was part of a fight.

Speaker 14 (14:27):
Oh yeah, Luckily he did knock get physical. I was
kind of secretly hoping it, like you know, someone she
would toush first or something, but she didn't. But we
were at like a little holiday festivity. I was with
my fiance, his mom who's in her seventies, in his
physically disabled sister, and we were at the section. It

(14:47):
was rendeer games, and we were waiting our turn, and
we were waiting for four seats in a row. So
he goes next to each other and this woman comes
up with like a whole group of kids. And these
kids are like eight, nine, ten years old, not little,
and she just kept pushing. The kids kept pushing in front.

Speaker 10 (15:03):
Of us to get the seat.

Speaker 13 (15:04):
Sure, and the first few times I was like, okay, whatever,
their kids, and then like it got to the point
one of them pushed my sister in law and she
has a walker, and I just said something about, you know,
can you.

Speaker 6 (15:15):
Control the kids?

Speaker 10 (15:16):
Like this supposed to.

Speaker 14 (15:17):
Be fun, and so when hauled off started like yelling
at me, so of course I started yelling back to her.
And we're definitely made a scene.

Speaker 15 (15:25):
Yeah, and then when.

Speaker 14 (15:26):
We're calling me to see you next tuesday, I just
shook my head and I said nice, nice language in
front of the kids, yeah, and walked away.

Speaker 15 (15:34):
And that's so the talk.

Speaker 14 (15:36):
They're like, oh, yeah, don't take her off gear of
those reindeer games.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
She gets feisty. But yeah. Wow.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
So you know they say, Michelle, that the holidays bring
out the worst in people, and you witnessed it.

Speaker 10 (15:50):
I sure did.

Speaker 15 (15:53):
I shor did well.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
It's a stressful time.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, And there was no hair pulling running. It never
really turned into you and I.

Speaker 14 (16:00):
You know, I live in a small town now, but
I went to high school in Framingham, so I still
have that little brawler in me something.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh yeah, I kind of hoping she.

Speaker 14 (16:09):
Was gonna turn around and push me and then it
would have gone already.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah those Framingham gals.

Speaker 6 (16:15):
Yeah, I'm from Framingham, Massachusetts.

Speaker 5 (16:19):
You forget it.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
You to watch out for those Framingham girls ready for
start out.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
Sorry, I'm still amazed by the Nantucket.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
In the in the woman in the cream sweater?

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Who is that?

Speaker 5 (16:31):
I think it's a girl in the cream sweater that
instigated the fight at Nantucket is actually Jordan, I believe.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
So she does seem it makes sense Jordan. I'll bet
she's a scrapper.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
Oh probably right, Yeah, imagine she's just instigating the whole thing.
This woman.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
She seems like, yeah, well, well you know, now, who.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Are you fighting? Man? That your ex wife was young?

Speaker 4 (17:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
I will say a couple of years ago, I came
very close to a restaurant brawl.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
And I'm not naming names.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I remember I remember that too.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
It was like the night before Thanksgiving where you get
together with friends and I'm standing at the bar with
a bunch of friends from different parts of my life
and and we're having fun, and I happen to look
over my shoulder and some guy is saying all these
crazy suggestive things to my wife and I heard it
and I turned around. I said, did you just say

(17:32):
what I thought you said to my wife?

Speaker 4 (17:34):
And we were about to get into it.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Security had to call because it basically did my famous line, I.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Will end you. I love saying that to lend them
because that's beyond a beating, you know so, So in.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
My brain, I'm imagining the end of this fight being
this guy bleeding out on the floor.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
I can't explain it. I have a violent streak and
every so often it shows.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
That, you know, you beat him.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
But security and all the witnesses told them what happened
to what was going on, and this guy was thrown out.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Oh okay, I mean I would have loved the bar
fight with you.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Oh I was ready to brawl.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
I would have loved it would been the best. Let's
go to cam online too in Hampton.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Oh Hampton, New Hampshire. Now we're talking. Hey Kim, good morning.

Speaker 15 (18:18):
Good morning.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
How did this brawl happen? On the beach.

Speaker 15 (18:24):
It's no I was that happened the summer. I was
not there for that, that big brawl that happened over
But the one that I was there for it was
like ten years ago. I used to be a wedding planner.
I'm not going to say the country club, but really
fancy country club. And I took care of the bride
and the groom and the wedding parents and all of that.

(18:46):
Deloney was gorgeous. And then at the reception, I'm bringing
like the cake up to the honeymoon suite and everything,
and I get on my pager like get down here now.
I go down and the mother of the bride was
swinging at her ex husband. And then, when I tell you,

(19:07):
there's nothing like seeing a woman totally dressed up and
throwing down at her ex husband, not just staying like
throwing punches. And the mother of the bride was getting involved,
She's crying, the groom's trying to pull the bride away.
I had to like get in the middle of it

(19:28):
and pull them apart. And she was stomping around like
let get me back in there, and I was like,
oh my god. I had to call the cops.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
And you know what the best part is at wedding
fights is like, here's the woman who spent probably six
hours getting her hair done and she's got this new
dress for the wedding or a gown, and she gets
up and the hairs all over the place, and.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
She's still looking for more.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
Because even if you in the fight, you're still kind
of a loser.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy. Wedding fights are just insane.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yeah, but I'm with you. I do want to find
out the story on this cream sweated girl. Yeah, we
need to know, like where is she from?

Speaker 3 (20:14):
I bet anything the woman that instigated the flight was
from Falmouth o Cape.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
God, those girls are built different.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
They throw down over nothing.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Hey guys, welcome back into the best of Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. It's producer Riley. I am counting
down the top five moments of.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
The week with you.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
So tomorrow our sould Out jingle Ball is happening at
the TD Garden. I have been so excited for weeks now,
just waiting for it to come, just like I know
that you guys are so on the show on Friday,
we felt like we should give you a little preview
of what to expect it's number two.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
Well, we're gonna start with Ed Sharon. He's our headliner.
I mean, let's keep let mean, let's be real. Ed
Sharon amazing. Anytime you see him in concert, we love
it because well, he has all the hits, but also
he builds the beat, he builds the song on stage.
He has no band, it's just him and he's gonna
do that on stage.

Speaker 7 (21:07):
Too, nice.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Conversations. We're the stranger.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
So like, one thing I want you to ask him backstage,
Billy is you know he'll have probably the most time
of anybody, But how does he pick the songs?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
I know so many to choose from, but you've got
limited time. It means we have a lot of acts,
but he is the headliner. He gets more than anybody else,
like you just said, but yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Like what does he end with? There's so many perfect EDG.
Sharing songs that he could end with.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
And you got a really good sampling as to what
it's like to be EDG. Sharon on stage watching that
one shot because you saw up close and now he's
when he started out, he had like two pedals foot pedals,
and now he's got like ten of them across the stage.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
Yeah, and he's only doing a couple of jingle Balls
across the country and Austin's one of them. No surprise.

Speaker 16 (21:54):
It's always been the first place for me, like the
first biggest stags where I played in, the first arena
I played here, and then the First Stadium, and it's
always bit But I guess there's something to do with
the Irish heritage. I guess. Yeah, But yeah, I love
I love Boston.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
Not forget jingle Ball was the first arena that he
ever played.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I remember him backstage and he was Remember he was
like asleep on the couch. Yeah, go on a speaker
right before he went on.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
He looked like a roadie. We didn't know him at
the time.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
He was so relaxed.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
Yeah, redheaded guy. It's weird. Yeah. Twenty twelve, Yeah, first
jingle Ball.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
We've got ourselves a celebration going on back totage.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
You're a jingle Ball twenty twelve.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
First of all, I'm here with Ed Shearon and my
congratulations Grammy nomination last night.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 4 (22:39):
Awesome? Aw good stuff? So are you enjoying this tour here?

Speaker 5 (22:43):
I'm loving it.

Speaker 16 (22:44):
Yeah, I've never played venues like this in America, you
know I did. I did this the Snow Patrol Tour,
which is all theaters, and I did my own headline
to which was all theaters as well.

Speaker 6 (22:53):
And I've never really kind of.

Speaker 16 (22:54):
Delved into this amazing ice hockey kind of places.

Speaker 4 (22:59):
And it's it's it's great.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I'm having a new kids on He's coming back to
that ice hockey place.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Wow, thirteen years later, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
He mentioned snow Patrol. Yeah, that's old school.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Oh yeah, full circle moment for Edie's gonna crush it
on stage. Also coming in for jingle Ball Sunday night.
I'm excited for this one. Sean Paul. I mean, this
guy hits on top of hits. Let's not forget a

(23:31):
few years ago during jingle Ball, right before we had
an artist, there was a little mix up on scheduling.
We needed a fill in. We called Sham Paul, who
lives in Jamaica, literally hours before the show, and he
hopped on a plane and came.

Speaker 17 (23:44):
Hey, Bust, and he gets a lot from me because
they always give me love, you know what I mean,
So be up to the entire Bust and when you
guys hollered at.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Me and told me come sing a few. I was like,
let's do this. I was actually.

Speaker 17 (23:54):
Trying to you know, this green thumb thing where you
try to plan you know, vegetables like, yeah, we called
tomatoes and shore onions. I was doing that in my
backyard and they was like, yo, you gotta start doing
that now. So let me get down to get flights booked.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Then you were you were gardening. I was I was
gardener yet? And was it really vegetable vegetables?

Speaker 17 (24:17):
Yeah, tomatoes and onions.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Yeah, yeah, that would have been anything.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
That was my thought. What kind of green are we
talking about?

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:25):
But we called him like maybe twenty four hours before
jingle Ball and he bailed us out big time, opt
the jet and came to Boston.

Speaker 5 (24:33):
Yeah. And so Sean Paul is famous for what they're
called dub plates. Yeah, usually does it for radio stations.
DJs like DJ pop Dog has a bunch of them
where it's basically a freestyle where he incorporates the DJ
name or the radio station name. So Billy was kind
of just discovering this and he asked Sean Paul backstage
at jingle Ball to do one on the spot and
he did it.

Speaker 17 (24:53):
Dina my deal, Dina might yell and said, then we
want to play Dina my Deal, dynam start Niggers dem Luid.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
I know my day, my dude.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, it was pretty good, pretty cool moment. I gotta
be honest with you. You know, we love to poke
fun at Billy our Fearless Leader. But one of the
cool things at jingle Balls at Kiss concerts, right least,
is these artists come backstage and they all remember Billy.
Oh yeah, because he's been around for so long. He's
interviewed so many people, so when they come back, they
always scan the room and they see Billy, and then

(25:25):
it puts.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Them at ease too.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, honestly, like we're just trying to have fun with them,
you know, yeah, exactly tell me about your record.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, and they and they so appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yeah, they do. Like Sabrina was the big one a
couple of years ago. God, So we're backstage, Sabrina comes
into the interview room. You know, the camera's on on,
the mics aren't even on, right, So she walks and
I'm looking at her, and she scans the room and
she locks eyes with Billy and just be lines it
over and for whatever reason, I knew something was coming,
so I turned the mics on, like, last minute, we've

(25:54):
met before, how are you going to see you?

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Or good?

Speaker 8 (25:57):
I remember this interview I did with you backstage.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
I don't know if it was jingle Ball, but I
was wearing a Coca Cola T shirt.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
It's a very vivid memory in my life. That was
our last name.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
I supposed to apologize.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
It was all positive. That's why I brought it up,
just like. I just remember that interview so vividly.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
And I have to say last year when we had
Tate and the kid LaRoy, oh boy, we weren't supposed
to ask about anything, and Billy went there.

Speaker 7 (26:24):
He did and he got it out of it. He
answered the kid LaRoy, he got it out of him. Yeah, listen,
if you're coming to town for jingle Ball. The managers like,
don't tell me something I shouldn't talk about, because then
I'll just feel the need to talk about it right away.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
Yeah. Like Taylor on Colbert this week, you know we
were asking why did he why didn't he go into
the wedding details and all that, And I'm like, well,
he was probably told not to. Billy would have been
the first question.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Said, well, the holidays are fast approaching, and I know
a lot of people are doing Christmas party is where
they're maybe having a Yankee swap, a gift exchange, or
a white elephant. So we had somebody ask us what
gifts they should be giving in a white elephant. We
asked you guys to tell us what you usually give

(27:14):
or just crazy Yankee swap stories.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
This is the number one moment.

Speaker 18 (27:17):
So this year our family, instead of getting a gift
because most people regift stuff, we are getting gift cards,
either to a restaurant or for an experience like bowling
or top golf or.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
Act throwing something like that.

Speaker 18 (27:37):
Sure they can regift, but it's not as lethal as
getting an actual gift.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
I know that sounds expensive.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
All gift cards, yes, so you said bowling or want.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
Top golf, acts throwing, you know, experience, yes, or gift cards.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
No, Gift cards are really popular. You can't go wrong,
but everybody will use them.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Those in scratch tickets, yeah or another That was her
big big I'm going.

Speaker 19 (28:02):
To a Yankee swap this weekend and the price limit
was fifty dollars. I was going to get a fifty
dollars scratch ticket. Is that lame or do you think
it would cause problems if something actually did win?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
So I always said it about this, like what happens. Yes,
you give the scratch ticket and there's a big winner.
Why I was going to ask this, You asked for
a cut.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, Like, let's say that give the scratch ticket, person
wins like a million dollars. Are you obligated to give
everybody at the party some money?

Speaker 5 (28:33):
I don't know. I've been to plenty of Yankee swaps
where scratch tickets are given out and then after it's
all done, everyone's scratching. And I always think to myself,
what if someone hits a mill or one hundred thousand.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
They'll never tell you.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Yeah, they just put it.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
They will whatever tell you.

Speaker 20 (28:49):
So I am going to a met swap tomorrow. She
doesn't like the Yankee so she calls it a met swap,
And I have a mini omelet make and then I'm
getting a Peppa onion and mushrooms and some eggs and
putting it in a cold bag. And that's what I'm
giving for a gift. What do you all think?

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Maybe she can grill it up right there? At the party.
Once it's she's giving it.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
That's a gift. She's giving an omelet maker, and then
all the things can make it.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
What did they call it?

Speaker 4 (29:20):
I couldn't a Met swap?

Speaker 5 (29:22):
What is that person hosting it as a Mets fan,
not a Yankee? She doesn't want to use the word yankee.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, okay, oh give me a breaks.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
It's silly.

Speaker 21 (29:32):
So when I was younger, we used to do like
all the little cousins would do like a secret Santa
kind of deal, and then the adults they.

Speaker 6 (29:39):
Would do the Yankee swap.

Speaker 21 (29:41):
Or they might have started doing like a Secret Sanna,
but then they started doing a Yankee swap. And one
year my dad ended up with two dollars bills, like
two two dollars bills, and he thought they were fakes,
so he threw him in the fire right behind him.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
Those are worth money now, yes, if they are printed
before I think it's nineteen seventy something, it could be
worth money. So check. I have some two dollar bills
at home. I'm gonna check them out because we have money.
Three dollar bill. Okay, let's go to Carly online one
in Weymouth. Good morning Carly, Hi guys, Bill was trying

(30:18):
to get it to get it together.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Carly. You need to understand. I get
a real kick out of myself.

Speaker 22 (30:25):
That's okay, okay, all right. So last night we had
our office holiday party and we did it was we
brought our own gifts like a Yankee swap, like you
would do typically. We wrapped them up.

Speaker 8 (30:43):
And everybody put a hint on their gift and then
we auctioned off the gifts with fake money, and everybody
had to bid against each other for what.

Speaker 22 (30:55):
They thought was in the present.

Speaker 6 (30:57):
So it got it got pretty competitive, and they were
good gifts.

Speaker 22 (31:00):
There was like some books, there's some.

Speaker 8 (31:06):
Uh scratch tickets, there were games, there were uh sweatshirts.

Speaker 22 (31:12):
So it was fun. We had a great time.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Sounds a little gamey for me.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Was there a price limit?

Speaker 8 (31:22):
Yeah, we gave everybody two hundred dollars again sake money,
but yeah, and it was fun. It was like everybody
was trying to outfit each other for a gift that
they had no idea what was really behind it.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Okay, that's unique idea.

Speaker 8 (31:38):
It was different.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
It was different.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Yeah, I would do that.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
It's a different office.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Good for It's one of those things you think going
in is lame, but then you end up having a ball.

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Yeah, drinks are flowing, Yeah, eating good food, having fun.
It's it's all about it.

Speaker 23 (31:51):
One year, my work did a Greek gift wok so
that means bring in the worst gift you've ever received
and swap it.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
So I brought in a picture that my father had.

Speaker 23 (32:05):
Given me, brained.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
And what's that remind you of? Bill?

Speaker 4 (32:15):
What the regift?

Speaker 5 (32:16):
It's not jogging any memories for you of the time
I got you when I had no money. I had
was working at Friendlies, flipping burgers and working here, and
I had no money for a gift. So my wife
suggested that she would blow up a picture of Billy
and I beautiful picture and put it in a beautiful
frame and give that as a gift. So I gave
it to Bill and Lisa, and then a couple of

(32:38):
days after he said, oh thank you, it was in
the trash office.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
You lie, Okay, there's no way I have that picture
somewhere in.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
My house because I took it out of the trash
and put it back in your desk.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
No, no, no, no, no, I know exactly where that
picture is in the house and I'm going to bring
it in Monday morning, and you know what I'm going
to do. I'm going to regift it to you.

Speaker 6 (33:02):
Good morning, Billy and Lisa Crewe.

Speaker 18 (33:05):
I just wanted to share some big swap ideas that
I've used in the past and they were very successful.

Speaker 9 (33:11):
It's more of a twenty five to fifty.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Dollars limit though, either packing compression cubes or a weighted vest.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Have a good day, all right, okay, the weighted vest.
So my worst gift ever was that fifty pound weighted blanket.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
Oh god, I remember all your focus and you got
the idea from me?

Speaker 5 (33:32):
I know, yeah, could you wear a weighted vest? Though?
Least when you work out?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
It's a good idea, I think.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
So.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Yeah, they're nice.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yeah, they say jog with it.

Speaker 5 (33:40):
Yeah, even just walking. You can ruck, you can rouck
with it.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Yeah, I'll walk with it.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah that's rocking. Okay, you could do that. That would
be good. But I remember that with the blanket. It's like,
what am I going to do with this?

Speaker 1 (33:50):
I was suffocating me.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
The biggest regift on earth is champagne.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Oh we must.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Have twenty bottles of champagne lying around in a closet
because it's never good champagne. And like everybody and just know,
if somebody's coming to your house with the bottle of champagne,
they got it from someone else.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
So true.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
Yeah, so number one.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah, don't even bother because they're just gonna take it
and put it in a closet.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
No one's drinking it.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
But if it's worth money, now, I'm never worth money.
It's not worth anything.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
He got it from someone else, who got it from
someone else.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
That bottle of both clicko or whatever. You're okay, no,
I know, but that has been passed around like ten times.

Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yes, yeah, because when do people drink champagne? I don't never,
so I don't.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
New Year's Eve, yeah, I guess. But even think about it.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Next time you're at a party and somebody's having a
toast and they opened a bottle of champagne, pay attention
to how few people drink it?

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Right?

Speaker 5 (34:47):
Okay, Yeah, I've never had champagne, never, never tasted it.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Yeah, it's not my favorite.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
Yeah, not so much.

Speaker 6 (34:55):
My uncle go to corill and Iron, unfortunately he's bald.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
All right, guys, that's going to do it for the
best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning this week.
Thanks for chilling with me, it's producer Riley. Up next,
we have the Countdown with Billy and Justin. Make sure
