Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the best a billion Lisa in the Morning. Hey guys,
have you Saturday. Welcome into the Best of Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. It's producer Rally. I am going
to be counting down the top five moments of the
week with you. So obviously, this week we returned from
our long Thanksgiving vacation and a lot of people were traveling,
including our own one, mister Billy Costa, and he had
(00:21):
an unfortunate experience at the airport which led to a
classic Billy rant.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is number five.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm sure everybody has a story to tell about their
holiday travels, their holiday experiences. A lot of people flew,
a lot of people drove, Lisa, you drove to New
York City.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I drove, yeah, and I had zero traffic, like there
was no one on the road.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You mean, given the eight hundred zillion people travel road.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So Thursday morning, which was Thanksgiving, I drove to New
York City, no problem, no problem. And then yesterday, biggest
travel day, no problem.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, I flew and don't forget the alert was up
the eight hundred zillion people traveling by air by road,
and I got to Logan airport Friday morning and There
was not a single person in front of me at
the TSA, not one. The TSA asients were actually sitting
on chairs talking to each other. There was no one there.
(01:16):
And then I went to Florida. The flight was perfect.
It flew me down to Florida, was actually early and
landed early, which is always good. But then it was
planning to come home. We had a flight booked for
yesterday afternoon, early afternoon, like two thirty ish, you know,
get me home so I can regroup and get ready
for the show this morning. That flight was canceled early
(01:38):
in the morning yesterday. Why oh, they're talking about some software.
Well they always in. Bottom line is the staff didn't
show up. That's really what's going on behind the scenes.
So they canceled that flight, and then they congratulated me
because they had me on another flight after that that
was canceled. The good news is we just around for
(02:00):
five or six hours, just waiting for a flight. But
we were still home. We hadn't even gone to the
airport yet. So then we had the flight and we said, okay,
I think we should go to the airport for this one. Okay,
So we get to the airport and again we're five
six hours behind schedule, and and we had our seats.
You know, we had good seats. We're in the third
(02:20):
row and I like to get extra leg room most
of the time, which is an extra charge, right, how
sure it is? Yeah. So we get to the airport
and now it's boarding time. And the boarding time always
fascinates me. There are people that get up and block
the entrance to the gangway at at the desk, and
(02:40):
they're not being asked to board for another hour, right,
but they stand right in front of every you know
what I'm talking. We talked about those you've been there.
We need to come up with a name for those people.
And they sit on the floor at the entrance to
the gangway. Anyway, there's that. So now we had boarding
passes in our phones, so you know, looking at the
boarding passes so we know where we're seating. We had
(03:04):
the row, we had the seat number. We're walking through.
Now our phones are open because you want to show
the seats walking down the gangway, and suddenly our seats
were changed as we were walking the gangway to the plane, right,
I said, what are you talking about? That can't happen?
What do you mean like we just checked in at
(03:26):
the desk and they had our seats, and they we
went through the scanner and we're all.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Set, and you paid for extra leguas.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Of course we did. And by the way, priority travel. Yeah,
you're mosaic Mosaic four. Okay, top notch. So now we
get to the entrance to the plane and the flight
attendants are standing there. I said, something weird just happened.
We knew we were in such and such a row,
but we just got a bleep in our phone and
suddenly our seats were changed from upfront to the actual
(03:55):
back of the plane, literally inches from the bathroom. And
and and we weren't sitting together now, we were sitting
in separate roads. But both of us had middle seats,
which is a traveler's nightmare. Like I would never like,
I wouldn't take the fly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's the seat on the plane.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
If there was a middle seat, I wouldn't fly. I'd
go somewhere else. Okay, So now I'm in the middle seat.
Now the person to my immediate left right has and
I'm not exaggerating, okay, a triple mask on. Now what
is that scream? That screams raging COVID like one mask
(04:35):
wasn't enough. The second mask also wasn't enough, So the
third mask is basically preventing us from death, instant death, right.
And then on the other side of me a screaming baby,
probably eight months old, right, And I'm sitting there thinking,
what the f just happened? I was in I was
(04:56):
going to my extra leg room seats. I was going
to relax, have a glass of wine. Michelle has six
rows behind me, also in the middle seat, with a
giant person like to the left of her right.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So tell people, why, wow, they switched you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
The gate guy, the guy that you scanned to get
on the plane, he comes walking all the way down
the aisle the back of the plane to my seat,
to try to explain what happened, right, because he knew
we had priority, you know whatever, clear And he says, listen,
I just wanted to explain. There was a family that
(05:32):
wanted to fly together, and so we bumped you to
these seats. And I'm like, what family? And by the way,
why me? So you did, like, this is a full plane,
hundreds of people, and you settled on the extra leg
room people to boot them from their seats, sit them
(05:54):
separately by the way mosaic for and you don't ask me, hey,
would you be willing? And why was nobody else bumped? Why?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Us?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Did help a family?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He did help a family family, But Billy's is right.
They should have asked Billy and Michelle if they would
be willing to move or what else?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, what if we me and my wife? What if
we had some sort of a medical situation had to
be together, you know, like were a family. If they
asked why am I less of a family than that family?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
If they asked you, what would you have said?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
What would I have said?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
If they asked you to sit separately?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well? Can I meet the family? What's the emergency in here?
What's the emergency process? Did they pay what I paid? Like?
Why was I singled out? I think the gate attendant,
for some reason had it in for me. Okay, I
don't know why. I've never seen him in my life.
I don't know. Maybe he was upset that we had
good seats. You know, we wearing that Porsche hat you
(06:56):
have honoring? Of course I was, you bet I was.
If I wasn't wearing it, I would have taken it
on the luggage. That's why he was put it in
your face.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's how he was.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And so Michelle was sitting next to a giant person.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
You said, yes, now you know what it's like to
be in the middle seat and the person to the
left or right or is well. I mean, you know,
all due respect, but we're both sitting there. You have
to understand. So now it's four hours later, four hours later,
we're getting off the plane. I literally, this is how
far apart we were. It took me twenty minutes to
(07:29):
stand there waiting for Michelle to get off the plane.
Like she was literally at the bathroom door, like one
final move, somebody could have pissed on her. Okay, that's
how close to the bathroom she was. Okay, and then
you hear the flush every five seconds because and that's
another thing about flying. Okay, that gets me, why is
(07:51):
there always a line at the bathroom on the plane?
What is the urgency? All of a sudden, as soon
as you take off, I gotta go, like everybody is
going to the bathroom, like what And then when you're
like ten minutes from landing, I gotta go back to
the bathroom. And then they get off the plane and
they go into the bathroom in the terminal.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So a certain celebrity announced that she has a massive
phobia of paper and how that affects her around the holidays.
You will never guess who this celebrity is. Well, this
was turned into our topic time we discussed all of
our phobias.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
First, it's number four.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Miley cyrus En now to the world yesterday that she
has a serious phobia to paper. Check this out.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Christmas.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I'm known as a little bit of a grinch because
I have a qualm with Christmas.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
What is it? I hate paper?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Like looking at that makes you want to vomit? Don't
even do it?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Should I move it away? That's worth moving it? Okay?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And then the real problem for me with paper is
when when people.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Dry dry hands and they.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Touch paper, and then it's Christmas and it's.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Cold and everyone's hands are dry and they're all touching paper.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Okay, here's the thing on paper. Okay, construction paper. I
don't know if you know what that is. I did
when I was a kid and you had art class,
they used construction paper, and I always had to skip
art class because I couldn't. I just hated the feel
of the construction paper. So to this day, I don't
like touching construction paper.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, and I've had that for chalk when we used
to do the old chalkboards back.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I just had a oh, like people nails on a chalkboard,
touching the chalk, the dryness of it. Just even to
this day thinking about it, it gives me such an
ick feeling. And then the other phobia I have is
those tiny little elevators in the back bay where like
only one person can stand. I refuse to get in them.
Well you have I'm a slightly clusterphogoss phone. Yeah, but
(09:46):
I'm telling you those little elevators, like I'll walk ten
flights of stairs not to go in that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Our good friend, doctor Sean Dherty, plastic surgeon to the Stars,
has the smallest elevator, yes, in America, and I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Get in it. It's like I have to call him
and say, can you please unlock the door.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's like a one person I don't know if I've
never been in one of those, Yeah, it's crazy only
if it's one person.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, many times building and sometimes it has the cage,
you know, the metal cage that you.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh god, it's like, okay, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Definitely getting stuck in here.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah, that's dangerous.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
What else is?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, so the list, Okay, Number one is the fear
of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
They're afraid of that, yes, really, I mean it is annoying,
but so that means you can't the people that have
that can't eat peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, and can't even be around it when people are
eating peanut butter. The next one is really interesting. It's
the fear of being without your mobile phone.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
That's a twenty twenty five issue.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Totally, yeah, totally, totally, totally.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
We all kind of have that, right, I think.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So it seems the minute you find out you don't
have your phone you don't know where it is, you're
freaking you freak out, freak out.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, yep, okay. Another one on the list is fear
of the color yellow.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Oh what did you yellow?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Do?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I am?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You can't even look at school buses? Are flowers?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Oh when school bus comes that you've dread that moment?
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Another one I thought was interesting is the fear of balloons.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I've heard about this, I have too. Well, there's a
certain choking factor when it comes to balloons, Like if
you have young kids, I think you think about it.
If there's a popped balloon in the room and they
pick it up off.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
The floor, it's getting people going, So wait, I wonder
if that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Is it the popping of the balloon or is it
the balloon itself.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I think it's the balloon itself. Okay. The next one
is fear of belly buttons.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, is this is We've talked about
this before. The belly button one.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Some people are so afraid of them. They don't want
to see them.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
They don't like their own.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, they can't, Like they have to put a bandage
over it because they're so freaked out.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well, it's not the most attractive thing on a human body.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Like I like audies.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Outis freaked me out?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Oh really?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah, it's like some of the little still.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
There, Yeah, sticking, poking.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I never thought of it that way. Yeah. Do you
have an any or Anaudi, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Mine's more sort of neutral. It's kind of an inny.
It's kind of like, yeah, I would say it's more
than any.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Half and half.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I'm any you've just I haven't any Yeah, I
wish I had an audia. I mean, I haven't any
I wish I had an auty. Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Do you have a phobia? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Mine is the the fear of small holes. It's called
trip to phobia. It's the it's the fear of cluster
clusters of things, you know, things like honey combs, patterns
of holes. You know, it's a real common one.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Good morning guys.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
So I have something called trip to phobia, where.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
It's like the fear of any kind of cluster of
like holes or just cluster.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Of things like honey home coral.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Tripe, which I think that's where the name triptophobia comes from.
I'm not sure about.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But how often do you come across Are you afraid
of sponges? Because sponges have like tiny little holes.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Sponges don't bother me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But if I google trip to phobia and the images
come up on Google, like, I don't feel right for
a week. Wow, it's very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, the sponge thing, that's producer Riley's right, Producer, Rie,
that's your phobia.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, that's not because of the holes, that's just because
of how dirty they get.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And it really creeps me out. So I cannot touch
a sponge. If there's one like in the sink, I
can't even pick it up.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
What if it's outside the sink.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
If it's dry, it's better. But if they're like wet
and like just it's freaking me out. I have to
agree with you. Yeah, that kind of freaks me out.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I don't like touching sponges either. They always smell and
you wonder how much bacteria is on them. But some
of the phobias, by the way, like agoraphobia, they can
be crippling. Like agoraphobia, you're terrified to leave the house, ye,
walk outside?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Now, some people have real, real phobias that stop them
from doing things in every day. Any other notable ones
on their least the.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Fear of string okay, yeah, string weird? Yeah, fear of beards.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
An actual fear of a beard yep.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And then fear of hair.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
So what do you do with your own hair?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You often find it extremely difficult to get haircuts and
will generally avoid situations where other people are touching your hair.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
So you don't want your hair touched.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You don't want it touched, You don't want it cut.
You can't watch someone getting their haircut.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh that's very bizarre. Yeah, yeah, I mean I understand
the balloon one.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Hey guys, it's producer Riley.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So just a second ago, we were talking about phobias
because Miley Cyrus said that she has a massive, massive
phobia of paper. Well, we discussed what our phobias were,
and then we had people call in to say what
theirs are, and you guys had some crazy ones.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So let's go right to the phones.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You have a phobia, I do.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Oh, I have a few, but I have one specific one.
I don't like things that are bigger than they shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That are bigger than they can You can you give
us an example. I sure can.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
There's one supermarket chain that has always had like large
boxes of cereal, like on top of the trees or sections,
Yes you know what I mean, and like I feel
like they're just going to fall and hit me, like
anything that's like like I'm pasta in the in the
think that is absorbed water that looks giant like things
like that, things that are bigger than.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
They shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, since we have you, what are your others?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Empty swimming pools? And boats out of water.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
What's wrong with the boat out of the water.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I feel like it's gonna tip over, like it doesn't
have anything holding up. So like a giant cruise ship
that you see, like I don't know, in dry dock
getting like fixed.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
That they have one.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I have that one. Really I don't like it, and
it freaks me out.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Like a boat on stanchions.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a cruise ship out of water. It
gives me the heb gbs.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Well, Heaven forbid that should fall or collapse.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, or if I ever see, you know, watch any
videos of boat crashes, large boats. Yeah, you see those
ones of the cruise ships that go into oh yeah,
oh yeah, not good. And most of the time they're
carrying something that you don't.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Want to deal with either. Let's go to a Deana.
She's in Lynn. Hey, Deana, what have you got?
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Is this Billy consa?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I Good morning, Billy. Actually Deanna kind of whimped out,
she got shy. But this is there, o, Julie, where
vocal bus drivers out of wind mass. We're working in
sail women. What you hate about spiders is when they're
coming down on the on their web and they get
right in front of you and you're sitting there and
your cod have killed them, and they you pull back
(16:51):
up and when you look for them, you just can't
find them. And you know that spiders out there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You're right, they're gone, but they're not really gone.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I don't like killing them, but I need to know
where they are.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
That's a racknophobia.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yes, yes, very popular, one of spiders.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Deanna, thank you very much. How's everything going with the bus?
Definitely in the building. Go to Aaron Plainville. H oh hey,
Aaron is plainful in Massachusetts.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (17:23):
Yes, it's right here to let damy.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I'm actually okay, beautiful Plainville. What's your phobiah cotton bolls?
I can say that.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, they're kind of weirdly dry, yea.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
The feeling.
Speaker 12 (17:41):
Just everything about them. And it's hard because I work
in a preschool and we do a lot of crafts
of cotton balls and glue, and I'm out. They know,
I'm just on the other side of the room. And
I have heard that I have heard other people have
that goobia too, so I feel a little better about it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
It's funny bring up cotton because my dog Titus take
tears apart toys in about three minutes and starts getting
the stuffing out, So then the cotton is all over
the floor in different clumps, and it kind of freaks
me out.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, I have to agree with you, cotton.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, there's nothing like a cotton swam or use something else.
You know, I never trusted.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I have to breathe, Yeah, I have to breathe through it.
Speaker 12 (18:22):
If I'm getting my nails done and they you know,
they wrap the cotton ball around which I sit there
breathing through it. But you got to do it.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
That's a good one, and say hello to Plainville. I
don't think Plainville gets enough attention.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Thank you, Thank you. Eron a Lisa, you mentioned yours
with small elevators might want to cover your ears for
this one.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, so you wouldn't have wanted to be with me.
This morning, I was stuck in an.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Elevator on the thirty seventh floor of my apartment in Boston.
I had to call the fire department and the elevator company.
They finally chanting after thirty minutes. It wasn't fun, but
I did call my family and wish some farewell just
in case.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
That's always good, and that's very thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, that's terrifying. I'm glad that she got out.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Who lives on the thirty seventh floor high rises in Boston?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, I couldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
The fast elevators freaked me out too, very convenient. Yeah,
but it's like boom, you're on the hundredth floor. What
if something goes wrong.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm always afraid because you see it in movies all
the time, like when people fall down the elevator shaft
in the elevator, the cable breaks or something.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, he just can't think you're right.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
The high rise ones freak me out.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
It freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I keeps seeing I could never live in a building
like that.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, thirty seven floors, that's high up.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
So my boyfriend literally will not will not look touch
my belly button and touch his own, like if his,
if my fingers even rubbed against his, he freaks out, easworm. Yeah,
we we're to say.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
But it's true.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, belly button was on the list Fear of belly buttons.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Well, the inny gather stuff. Sometimes occasionally have to take
your finger in there.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
And one of my one of my best friends, infamously
he was a large person. He's a very large, big guy.
He used to hide contraband in his belly button. That's
where he would fashion. Well, he had a big belly.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Oh so yeah, you put the little plastic bag full.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Of he would just he would put different contraband little
ones into he would stuff them in his belly button.
And it worked because there were a couple of times
where he got searched and they did not find the contraband.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So he had a severe in Oh yeah, big belly
covered by huge good morning als of the metal borough here.
Speaker 13 (20:45):
And my phobia is the sound of other people chewing.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now, if they're chewing something soft.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
And their mouth is closed and that's quiet's fine.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But if somebody is chopping on.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
An apple right next to me, I cannot stand it.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And recently I went to the movie.
Speaker 13 (21:04):
Theater and somebody sitting next to me was chomping on
there for the whole movie.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Yeah, and oh, it was all I could think about.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
You know, what's a big crunch as free doo's any
kind of that, that's a loud crunch.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
It's funny. Yesterday we were talking about Taylor and Travis
not arguing, and when we were talking about it, I
text my wife and I said, what's a dumb argument
that we've had?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And she goes, oh, you chewing too loudly. You know,
Michelle accuses me of that sertime, not that I'm chewing
with my mouth open, just that it's loud and my
mouth is closed. What can I do about that?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Well, you're a chomper. You chomp, that's what you do.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, prompt shop, Laura.
Speaker 13 (21:43):
I'm listening to you, guys.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I'm taking a walk.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My fear is flump.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
I was a that's at assistant for many years. At
anytime somebody was coughing or hacking up the sue or
even blowing their nose, I would get to hedgdi.
Speaker 13 (22:02):
I would have to walk out of the room and
take a deep breast in another room.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
That's why I became the office manager.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She can have a date you, Bill, Okay, get a little.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Hey, guys, welcome back into the Best of Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. It's producer Riley and I'm kind
of down the top five.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Moments of the week with you.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
So this week we had to answer the question if
you go out on a date with somebody and then
go back to their place and their entire apartment or
houses decorated, like really decorated for Christmas? Is that a
red flag? We opened it up for you guys to
chime in.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
So let's go right to the phones. It's number two.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Let's go to rosalind Dale. Nicky's on the phone. Good morning, Nikki,
she's in Rossie.
Speaker 13 (22:47):
Good morning. I totally love that Lisa brought up that
this could be something of a family tradition. So for him,
this might be, you know, something that he enjoys to do,
but totally not.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
A turn off.
Speaker 13 (22:57):
And I'm raising the sun and I would love for
him to decorate his plate.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah it's nice, it creates cheer.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But how old is your son, Nikki?
Speaker 13 (23:09):
Oh well, he's nine. But I have two eighteen year
old nephews and I can see one decorating and one not.
So again, it all turn you know, it all comes
down to I think it's going to turn off, is
my point.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I know that my son Max is eighteen. He's at college.
He like wanted to put a tree in his dorm room.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
He asked me for the record, I lived for a while,
I decorated.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I think I did.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Fine, You're just fine. That's good. Gretchen is in Wakefield.
Good morning, Gretchen. Your thoughts Hi.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
Yeah, my first thought is and you're winning right there.
He's living alone, he has.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
His own place. And secondly, I would stick it out
through the holidays because who knows what your Christmas present
would be.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh yeah, If he's decorating, that means he's really into
gift giving too.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Great point.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, yeah, great point. He thinks he's Santa.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Good morning.
Speaker 14 (24:04):
All about the decorations. A single guy decorating? Who cares?
There's so many worse things in life. Be festive. The
guy likes Christmas? Who cares? It means he's going to
spoil you to death on.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Christmas Day because he thinks he's Santa.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Okay, single guys, if you're out there, keep decorating. They're
loving it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Keep it festive.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
The train set, get the Nativity that you see, you
gotta get the Village's to think those are like his friends.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, because you're alone. The people in the village, the
little people.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
They just became my friend.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That's a little sad. I was never alone. That's a
little not make a drink and go sit near the village.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Let's go to Curtis in Sudbury. Curtis, what do you think?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Hey there, are you good?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
What's going on in your life right now? Curtis?
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Okay, I have to preface this that I'm super gay.
I'm in a one bedroom condo with nine hundred and
twenty square feet and I have a total of ten trees.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Wow gets you.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Yeah, And because I moved from a three bedroom house.
One guy and I'm like, Christmas brings me joy. And
I have a train set. It was something that I
bought my father when we did train sets, like you know,
thirty forty years ago, and he passed away.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
So it's a memory of line and this.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Person probably lived in a home that celebrated Christmas and
it was very meaningful to him.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, and bringing those memories.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Back by decorating like that. But this my place I
walked in. It's lit up like Las Vegas, and it
brings me so much joy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And I think that's a green flag because it's you know,
he he enjoys.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
This time of year because it brings back nostalgia.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, and when the train comes around every time you
feel like Dad's passing through town. I agree.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I think it's it just creates like a nice warm atmosphere. Yeah,
even if it's over the time.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, he makes a lot of good points. And I
think that's the thing if it was a big deal
in your family growing up, especially if they left you
some of the decorations.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Right, and you're you're continuing on with the tradition.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Well, think about the ornaments alone, right, you want to
have every ornament tell a story. You remember where you
got the ornament and.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Why My parents gave me all of my ornaments from yeah,
from when we were little.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So it's a good feel. Let's go to rejieve in California,
Oh West Coast Regie.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Hey, good morning guys. I have to kind of agree
with Curtis also, right because it could have been a
big deal for his family and he's keeping that tradition alive.
And especially also if you fat family members that have
passed away, it's the way to sort of feel connected
to them. Right. So I mean kind of like dating
Buddy the Elf, right, like who he really is?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well, again, that's the question, do you want dating Buddy?
He's legging him to Buddy the off Yeah, okay, yeah,
like really into the holiday.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
All right, somebody in California is listening to us right now.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, Raggie is always listening. So it's what time is
it there, It's four forty nine am. Yeah, he's listening.
Shout out to Regie, thank you.
Speaker 13 (27:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
My first song on the guy with his place decorated
and Christmas decor would be who did some girl.
Speaker 13 (27:18):
Do this for you?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Oh oh wow. That's an interesting theory.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Yeah, a girl or maybe his mom.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Have we not considered that he did mother came over
to decorate his place because that's another pretty big red flag,
or her sister.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And by the way, we're not saying there's anything wrong
with single guys who were decorating for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, this was just like one of your friends.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
She started about the guy.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
They dated a few dates and she was weirded out
by it.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yeah. She went to his apartment and she walked in
and it was like a Christmas you know, wonderland with
tree and lights and everything, and she just doesn't know
how to feel.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
She's kind of torn on it. Should she keep going
out with him?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That's what Well, Again, the guy has passion for it,
and that's good, Like you want somebody that has like,
you know something that he really likes.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
But do you want to date Buddy the Elf?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
See that's the question, that's the line.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, like you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Are, he's going to like dress her up?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
He answers, just like a Carol.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Answer the door, dresses Buddy.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The elk Exactly.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
I have to do some very naughty things to get
my husband to just bring the Christmas decoration boxes upstairs
so I can decorate.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
So if the man is willing to.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
Decorate the whole house by himself, and I'm not even
part of the equation yet, I think that's green flags
all day, no red flags, go for it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, that's a very good point.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It's a lot of people, like their spouse or their
significant other may not be into decorating. So that's always
an issue too with couples, like who's into it and
who's not, so one person ends up doing all the
dec Well.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
It's also the hassle of it, Like when Michelle brings
it up, it's like, oh, really, we're going to do
that today, But then once we're doing it, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Christmas music on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah Memories.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
She does naughty things for her husband for carrying up
all the Christmas. Yea, I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Learn more about that.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah, I'd set up an entire state of villages.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Whatever it takes.
Speaker 15 (29:35):
Good listen as a wife and mother that always puts
out the decorations every year, Mary, the guy that puts
out the decorations and has some holid each year, I
don't think that's bad at all.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
The only thing.
Speaker 10 (29:49):
That would give me the ick is, you know, the
snow globes or the Nativity scene. Maybe that's pushing it
a little too fall they.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Wear multiple snow blows.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
See that's it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, see, there's it's the line.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah, no Nativity scene.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
But again, like maybe this like we were saying, like
maybe this is like a big thing in his childhood
and he's just well.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The Nativity scene religious thing too. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Okay, so we're going with Lise, We're going with.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
We're going there.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It's okay, go on another date.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, absolutely, embrace, Embrace buddy the elf.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
All right, so they're going to go on another date.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Okay, good to know single guy decorating who cares to me.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
That's a bonus because my husband does nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
All right, Well, let's get right into the number one moment.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's producer Riley, and this week we had Oh's the
Mentalist call into the show because he is going to
be in Medford on December twenty first, but he actually
has an interesting connection to Billy Costa.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Ohs are you there?
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Good morning? I am here. How are you, Billy?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I'm doing fine. By the way, I don't think there
probably aren't any tickets available. I can't even imagine, but
you are coming to Medford, buddy.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
I think there are some left, so dang, get out there,
get some and I promise you and experience unlike anything
you witnessed before. There's also there's VIP tickets left, which
are usually the first ones to go because what you
get is you get guaranteed mind reading from me, so
you get to show up early. And it's a smaller group.
And I think there's a few left. I don't want
to jinx myself here, but last I checked, there were
(31:22):
a handful left to jump on it.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
All right, that's good news, that is good news. I
know our producer co host in the other studio, Justin,
already has his tickets. He's not going to miss it.
But we've seen a lot of your stuff, okay. And
by the way, o's you and I have a weird connection.
And let me know, Chris Austin, Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Billy and Lisa, you want to do for a living?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So yeah, so you were with Tom Brady in his apartment.
Rob Gronkowski was there, Julian Edelman, and the other person
in the room was yes, my son, Chris Costia. What
do you remember from that session?
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Don't don't even know if you know how much deeper
it goes down the rabbit hole, which is a big
video got posted two days ago. It's viral on barstool Sports.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, we are someone in the room.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
Thought of anyone. He thought of anyone one of the
Barstool Sports guys, and then he changed his mind to
try to trick me. And I guess that he was
thinking of Chris Costa and that that's the even crazier
part because just you know, right before I got in
the station, he had thought of your son at a
separate instance. But I'll never forget his face. Chris's face
was just shell shocked. It was. It was no rip
(32:31):
of any pack of cards that ever come close to
how much I freaked him out.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I feel, well, you know what's weird is we actually
have a clip of that at barstool A player it
right now this moment, right, you have no idea who
you're going to think of. You don't know yet only
when I sat my fingers.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
You're going to think of that one person right now?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Did you just decide right in that moment? Yes, pick
a letter in this person's first name. He just grab
a letter. I just like, I'm just gonna grab on out.
You got one? Are are you even r?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
You didn't decide on a person until I snapped my fingers, right?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
You didn't write this down with for this No we
could know. Initials are the same, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Chris? Chris? What?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What is going on between you and my son Chris?
Cost To all of us on your all buddies.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
The universe is colliding. It's kind of like a couple
of goats, the goat of mentalism, the goat of cards,
and the goat of football. It's all coming together in
Boston December twenty first, everybody.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
I think it all kind of started for you os
on America's Got Talent. Do you remember what you did
on that show?
Speaker 8 (33:34):
Oh? My god, like it was yesterday, So that was
ten years ago. They like to say it takes ten
years to become an overnight success. And I went on
there with Howie Mandel, with Howard Stern, who I was
just with yesterday. Me'll be Heidi Kloon my door and
I guessed a number that Heidi was thinking and a
vacation that Mel had gone on. And that is, honestly
(33:56):
where it all began. That little rocket fuel the momentum.
And hopefully you've seen a lot of me, and if
you've searched one video, you're gonna get a whole lot
more in your feed right now. The algorithm loves me
on social media.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah. The fact is, in the last ten days or so,
you've been with Tom Brady, Howard Stern, you were on
at Bartstool headquarters. You're gonna be on Fallon tonight. You
know what the good news is, Oh's you made it
to the big time the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Listen.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
This is jumping right to the top of my team
right now. You know it Medford, Massachusetts, represent I've run
the Boston Marathon many times. I have a very big
fond it's from Massachusetts in Boston.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Gang. Wow, Yeah, you're like an ultra ultra marathon.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
A right, that's that's my side hustle. I think my
wife just throws me out of house and just says,
run as far away as you can.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And get out of my head.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
That's those five kids.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
Wow, oh my god, five kids, five kids under ten.
That's the real magic is how I'm still alive and
how we both get any sleep right now because you
have two little babies. But it is the greatest joy
in the world, and it's a busy house.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Let me tell well, I've run a bunch of marathons,
including Boston several times. My youngest son, Dylan is training
for his first marathon. Would any kind of a tip
you can give them?
Speaker 8 (35:10):
I think the one thing that people do poorly on
their first marathon. The two things is one, you go
out too fast. You got the adrenaline pump and you're
having a great time and you start not running your race,
but you start running some other race you didn't plan.
And second, everyone eats too few calories their first marathon
and they bonk, they blow up, they get to you know,
in your case, they get the heartbreak hill and the
(35:32):
heartbreak begins. And what you want to avoid is you
want to eat more than you think you need to.
So I'm powering those jels. I'm taking about three of
them per hour. Everybody's stomach is different, but you owe
people they just don't eat enough calories at their first race.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
So what's the show at the Chevalier gonna look like?
What's it like December twenty first?
Speaker 8 (35:51):
So for those who have no idea who I am,
this is going to be unlike any magic show you've
ever seen. So what I do is called mentalism. It's
magic of the mind. There's no car trick. You will
lead there thinking I can read your mind. Spoiler alert.
I can't really read minds.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I read people.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
But it's very interactive, which means you don't just sit
there and watch me on stage. Tons and tons of
you out in the audience are going to get involved,
throwing frisbees around, running around, posting envelopes to people you
don't know who's going to get picked, and that's half
the fun. So come there. You know, if you want
to get some secrets out of somebody's head, bring your
spouse or your boyfriend or girl. I'm seeing I'm not
going to get in one in trouble.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Careful if something like that happened at the Coldplay concert
here last year.
Speaker 8 (36:31):
It's all fun, it's all wholesome. If you have seen
me before with NFL teams, Tom Brady, then you know
what it is. This is a unique experience. Again, it's
like magic, but it's magic without the props. So my
job is to show you how I can get inside
your head, how I can influence your thoughts, and do
it in a very fun, memorable way that is squeaky clean.
(36:53):
Bring the family, You're going to have a night to remember.
And I'll be at the Chevalier Theater on December twenty first,
I think, like I said, there's a few tickets left.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Now, ohs, you have a book out right, sure do.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
It's called Read Your Mind. It's a you know, humble brag,
number three New York Times bestseller.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Now, if you really want to sell some books, okay.
Lisa Dunavan is in studio, my partner here, and she's
got an incredible book club. She takes it all over
the country. Now you've got to come to the book club.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We've had thousands of people at my book club, and
we want you to come back to Bostin and do it.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
All right, Lisa the pressure's on. I'm going to try
to find a slot. I'm going to try to piggyback
off another show. We're going to come to Chevalier. People
are going to book me for events, and then I'm
going to come to the book club. This is like
a win win win, and Chris Bost is going to
show up in the middle.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I can't believe my son like you mentioned my son
before I did. Wow, okay O'speerlman coming to the Chevalier

It's Kiss one Wait
It's the best a billion Lisa in the Morning. Hey guys,
have you Saturday. Welcome into the Best of Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. It's producer Rally. I am going
to be counting down the top five moments of the
week with you. So obviously, this week we returned from
our long Thanksgiving vacation and a lot of people were traveling,
including our own one, mister Billy Costa, and he had
(00:21):
an unfortunate experience at the airport which led to a
classic Billy rant.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
This is number five.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'm sure everybody has a story to tell about their
holiday travels, their holiday experiences. A lot of people flew,
a lot of people drove, Lisa, you drove to New
York City.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I drove, yeah, and I had zero traffic, like there
was no one on the road.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
You mean, given the eight hundred zillion people travel road.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So Thursday morning, which was Thanksgiving, I drove to New
York City, no problem, no problem. And then yesterday, biggest
travel day, no problem.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, I flew and don't forget the alert was up
the eight hundred zillion people traveling by air by road,
and I got to Logan airport Friday morning and There
was not a single person in front of me at
the TSA, not one. The TSA asients were actually sitting
on chairs talking to each other. There was no one there.
(01:16):
And then I went to Florida. The flight was perfect.
It flew me down to Florida, was actually early and
landed early, which is always good. But then it was
planning to come home. We had a flight booked for
yesterday afternoon, early afternoon, like two thirty ish, you know,
get me home so I can regroup and get ready
for the show this morning. That flight was canceled early
(01:38):
in the morning yesterday. Why oh, they're talking about some software.
Well they always in. Bottom line is the staff didn't
show up. That's really what's going on behind the scenes.
So they canceled that flight, and then they congratulated me
because they had me on another flight after that that
was canceled. The good news is we just around for
(02:00):
five or six hours, just waiting for a flight. But
we were still home. We hadn't even gone to the
airport yet. So then we had the flight and we said, okay,
I think we should go to the airport for this one. Okay,
So we get to the airport and again we're five
six hours behind schedule, and and we had our seats.
You know, we had good seats. We're in the third
(02:20):
row and I like to get extra leg room most
of the time, which is an extra charge, right, how
sure it is? Yeah. So we get to the airport
and now it's boarding time. And the boarding time always
fascinates me. There are people that get up and block
the entrance to the gangway at at the desk, and
(02:40):
they're not being asked to board for another hour, right,
but they stand right in front of every you know
what I'm talking. We talked about those you've been there.
We need to come up with a name for those people.
And they sit on the floor at the entrance to
the gangway. Anyway, there's that. So now we had boarding
passes in our phones, so you know, looking at the
boarding passes so we know where we're seating. We had
(03:04):
the row, we had the seat number. We're walking through.
Now our phones are open because you want to show
the seats walking down the gangway, and suddenly our seats
were changed as we were walking the gangway to the plane, right,
I said, what are you talking about? That can't happen?
What do you mean like we just checked in at
(03:26):
the desk and they had our seats, and they we
went through the scanner and we're all.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Set, and you paid for extra leguas.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Of course we did. And by the way, priority travel. Yeah,
you're mosaic Mosaic four. Okay, top notch. So now we
get to the entrance to the plane and the flight
attendants are standing there. I said, something weird just happened.
We knew we were in such and such a row,
but we just got a bleep in our phone and
suddenly our seats were changed from upfront to the actual
(03:55):
back of the plane, literally inches from the bathroom. And
and and we weren't sitting together now, we were sitting
in separate roads. But both of us had middle seats,
which is a traveler's nightmare. Like I would never like,
I wouldn't take the fly.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It's the seat on the plane.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
If there was a middle seat, I wouldn't fly. I'd
go somewhere else. Okay, So now I'm in the middle seat.
Now the person to my immediate left right has and
I'm not exaggerating, okay, a triple mask on. Now what
is that scream? That screams raging COVID like one mask
(04:35):
wasn't enough. The second mask also wasn't enough, So the
third mask is basically preventing us from death, instant death, right.
And then on the other side of me a screaming baby,
probably eight months old, right, And I'm sitting there thinking,
what the f just happened? I was in I was
(04:56):
going to my extra leg room seats. I was going
to relax, have a glass of wine. Michelle has six
rows behind me, also in the middle seat, with a
giant person like to the left of her right.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So tell people, why, wow, they switched you.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
The gate guy, the guy that you scanned to get
on the plane, he comes walking all the way down
the aisle the back of the plane to my seat,
to try to explain what happened, right, because he knew
we had priority, you know whatever, clear And he says, listen,
I just wanted to explain. There was a family that
(05:32):
wanted to fly together, and so we bumped you to
these seats. And I'm like, what family? And by the way,
why me? So you did, like, this is a full plane,
hundreds of people, and you settled on the extra leg
room people to boot them from their seats, sit them
(05:54):
separately by the way mosaic for and you don't ask me, hey,
would you be willing? And why was nobody else bumped? Why?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Us?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Right?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Did help a family?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
He did help a family family, But Billy's is right.
They should have asked Billy and Michelle if they would
be willing to move or what else?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, what if we me and my wife? What if
we had some sort of a medical situation had to
be together, you know, like were a family. If they
asked why am I less of a family than that family?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
If they asked you, what would you have said?
Speaker 3 (06:30):
What would I have said?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
If they asked you to sit separately?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well? Can I meet the family? What's the emergency in here?
What's the emergency process? Did they pay what I paid? Like?
Why was I singled out? I think the gate attendant,
for some reason had it in for me. Okay, I
don't know why. I've never seen him in my life.
I don't know. Maybe he was upset that we had
good seats. You know, we wearing that Porsche hat you
(06:56):
have honoring? Of course I was, you bet I was.
If I wasn't wearing it, I would have taken it
on the luggage. That's why he was put it in
your face.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's how he was.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
And so Michelle was sitting next to a giant person.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
You said, yes, now you know what it's like to
be in the middle seat and the person to the
left or right or is well. I mean, you know,
all due respect, but we're both sitting there. You have
to understand. So now it's four hours later, four hours later,
we're getting off the plane. I literally, this is how
far apart we were. It took me twenty minutes to
(07:29):
stand there waiting for Michelle to get off the plane.
Like she was literally at the bathroom door, like one
final move, somebody could have pissed on her. Okay, that's
how close to the bathroom she was. Okay, and then
you hear the flush every five seconds because and that's
another thing about flying. Okay, that gets me, why is
(07:51):
there always a line at the bathroom on the plane?
What is the urgency? All of a sudden, as soon
as you take off, I gotta go, like everybody is
going to the bathroom, like what And then when you're
like ten minutes from landing, I gotta go back to
the bathroom. And then they get off the plane and
they go into the bathroom in the terminal.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So a certain celebrity announced that she has a massive
phobia of paper and how that affects her around the holidays.
You will never guess who this celebrity is. Well, this
was turned into our topic time we discussed all of
our phobias.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
First, it's number four.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Miley cyrus En now to the world yesterday that she
has a serious phobia to paper. Check this out.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Christmas.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
I'm known as a little bit of a grinch because
I have a qualm with Christmas.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
What is it? I hate paper?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Like looking at that makes you want to vomit? Don't
even do it?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Should I move it away? That's worth moving it? Okay?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
And then the real problem for me with paper is
when when people.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Dry dry hands and they.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Touch paper, and then it's Christmas and it's.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Cold and everyone's hands are dry and they're all touching paper.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Okay, here's the thing on paper. Okay, construction paper. I
don't know if you know what that is. I did
when I was a kid and you had art class,
they used construction paper, and I always had to skip
art class because I couldn't. I just hated the feel
of the construction paper. So to this day, I don't
like touching construction paper.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, and I've had that for chalk when we used
to do the old chalkboards back.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
In the day.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I just had a oh, like people nails on a chalkboard,
touching the chalk, the dryness of it. Just even to
this day thinking about it, it gives me such an
ick feeling. And then the other phobia I have is
those tiny little elevators in the back bay where like
only one person can stand. I refuse to get in them.
Well you have I'm a slightly clusterphogoss phone. Yeah, but
(09:46):
I'm telling you those little elevators, like I'll walk ten
flights of stairs not to go in that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Our good friend, doctor Sean Dherty, plastic surgeon to the Stars,
has the smallest elevator, yes, in America, and I can't.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Get in it. It's like I have to call him
and say, can you please unlock the door.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It's like a one person I don't know if I've
never been in one of those, Yeah, it's crazy only
if it's one person.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah, many times building and sometimes it has the cage,
you know, the metal cage that you.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh god, it's like, okay, I'm.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Definitely getting stuck in here.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah, that's dangerous.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
What else is?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Okay, so the list, Okay, Number one is the fear
of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
They're afraid of that, yes, really, I mean it is annoying,
but so that means you can't the people that have
that can't eat peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, and can't even be around it when people are
eating peanut butter. The next one is really interesting. It's
the fear of being without your mobile phone.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
That's a twenty twenty five issue.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Totally, yeah, totally, totally, totally.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
We all kind of have that, right, I think.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So it seems the minute you find out you don't
have your phone you don't know where it is, you're
freaking you freak out, freak out.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, yep, okay. Another one on the list is fear
of the color yellow.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Oh what did you yellow?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Do?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I am?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You can't even look at school buses? Are flowers?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Oh when school bus comes that you've dread that moment?
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Another one I thought was interesting is the fear of balloons.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I've heard about this, I have too. Well, there's a
certain choking factor when it comes to balloons, Like if
you have young kids, I think you think about it.
If there's a popped balloon in the room and they
pick it up off.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
The floor, it's getting people going, So wait, I wonder
if that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Is it the popping of the balloon or is it
the balloon itself.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I think it's the balloon itself. Okay. The next one
is fear of belly buttons.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, no, is this is We've talked about
this before. The belly button one.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Some people are so afraid of them. They don't want
to see them.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
They don't like their own.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, they can't, Like they have to put a bandage
over it because they're so freaked out.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Well, it's not the most attractive thing on a human body.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Like I like audies.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Outis freaked me out?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Oh really?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yeah, it's like some of the little still.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
There, Yeah, sticking, poking.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I never thought of it that way. Yeah. Do you
have an any or Anaudi, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Mine's more sort of neutral. It's kind of an inny.
It's kind of like, yeah, I would say it's more
than any.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Half and half.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah, I'm any you've just I haven't any Yeah, I
wish I had an audia. I mean, I haven't any
I wish I had an auty. Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Do you have a phobia? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Mine is the the fear of small holes. It's called
trip to phobia. It's the it's the fear of cluster
clusters of things, you know, things like honey combs, patterns
of holes. You know, it's a real common one.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Good morning guys.
Speaker 6 (12:36):
So I have something called trip to phobia, where.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
It's like the fear of any kind of cluster of
like holes or just cluster.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Of things like honey home coral.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Tripe, which I think that's where the name triptophobia comes from.
I'm not sure about.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But how often do you come across Are you afraid
of sponges? Because sponges have like tiny little holes.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Sponges don't bother me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
But if I google trip to phobia and the images
come up on Google, like, I don't feel right for
a week. Wow, it's very bizarre.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, the sponge thing, that's producer Riley's right, Producer, Rie,
that's your phobia.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, that's not because of the holes, that's just because
of how dirty they get.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And it really creeps me out. So I cannot touch
a sponge. If there's one like in the sink, I
can't even pick it up.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
What if it's outside the sink.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
If it's dry, it's better. But if they're like wet
and like just it's freaking me out. I have to
agree with you. Yeah, that kind of freaks me out.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I don't like touching sponges either. They always smell and
you wonder how much bacteria is on them. But some
of the phobias, by the way, like agoraphobia, they can
be crippling. Like agoraphobia, you're terrified to leave the house, ye,
walk outside?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Now, some people have real, real phobias that stop them
from doing things in every day. Any other notable ones
on their least the.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Fear of string okay, yeah, string weird? Yeah, fear of beards.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
An actual fear of a beard yep.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
And then fear of hair.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
So what do you do with your own hair?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You often find it extremely difficult to get haircuts and
will generally avoid situations where other people are touching your hair.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
So you don't want your hair touched.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
You don't want it touched, You don't want it cut.
You can't watch someone getting their haircut.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Oh that's very bizarre. Yeah, yeah, I mean I understand
the balloon one.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Hey guys, it's producer Riley.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So just a second ago, we were talking about phobias
because Miley Cyrus said that she has a massive, massive
phobia of paper. Well, we discussed what our phobias were,
and then we had people call in to say what
theirs are, and you guys had some crazy ones.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
So let's go right to the phones.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
You have a phobia, I do.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Oh, I have a few, but I have one specific one.
I don't like things that are bigger than they shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That are bigger than they can You can you give
us an example. I sure can.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
There's one supermarket chain that has always had like large
boxes of cereal, like on top of the trees or sections,
Yes you know what I mean, and like I feel
like they're just going to fall and hit me, like
anything that's like like I'm pasta in the in the
think that is absorbed water that looks giant like things
like that, things that are bigger than.
Speaker 8 (15:33):
They shouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, since we have you, what are your others?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Empty swimming pools? And boats out of water.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
What's wrong with the boat out of the water.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
I feel like it's gonna tip over, like it doesn't
have anything holding up. So like a giant cruise ship
that you see, like I don't know, in dry dock
getting like fixed.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
That they have one.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I have that one. Really I don't like it, and
it freaks me out.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Like a boat on stanchions.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, a cruise ship out of water. It
gives me the heb gbs.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Well, Heaven forbid that should fall or collapse.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, or if I ever see, you know, watch any
videos of boat crashes, large boats. Yeah, you see those
ones of the cruise ships that go into oh yeah,
oh yeah, not good. And most of the time they're
carrying something that you don't.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Want to deal with either. Let's go to a Deana.
She's in Lynn. Hey, Deana, what have you got?
Speaker 9 (16:27):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Is this Billy consa?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I Good morning, Billy. Actually Deanna kind of whimped out,
she got shy. But this is there, o, Julie, where
vocal bus drivers out of wind mass. We're working in
sail women. What you hate about spiders is when they're
coming down on the on their web and they get
right in front of you and you're sitting there and
your cod have killed them, and they you pull back
(16:51):
up and when you look for them, you just can't
find them. And you know that spiders out there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
You're right, they're gone, but they're not really gone.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
I don't like killing them, but I need to know
where they are.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
That's a racknophobia.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yes, yes, very popular, one of spiders.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Deanna, thank you very much. How's everything going with the bus?
Definitely in the building. Go to Aaron Plainville. H oh hey,
Aaron is plainful in Massachusetts.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Good morning.
Speaker 11 (17:23):
Yes, it's right here to let damy.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I'm actually okay, beautiful Plainville. What's your phobiah cotton bolls?
I can say that.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, they're kind of weirdly dry, yea.
Speaker 11 (17:38):
The feeling.
Speaker 12 (17:41):
Just everything about them. And it's hard because I work
in a preschool and we do a lot of crafts
of cotton balls and glue, and I'm out. They know,
I'm just on the other side of the room. And
I have heard that I have heard other people have
that goobia too, so I feel a little better about it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
It's funny bring up cotton because my dog Titus take
tears apart toys in about three minutes and starts getting
the stuffing out, So then the cotton is all over
the floor in different clumps, and it kind of freaks
me out.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, I have to agree with you, cotton.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, there's nothing like a cotton swam or use something else.
You know, I never trusted.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
I have to breathe, Yeah, I have to breathe through it.
Speaker 12 (18:22):
If I'm getting my nails done and they you know,
they wrap the cotton ball around which I sit there
breathing through it. But you got to do it.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
That's a good one, and say hello to Plainville. I
don't think Plainville gets enough attention.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Thank you, Thank you. Eron a Lisa, you mentioned yours
with small elevators might want to cover your ears for
this one.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well, so you wouldn't have wanted to be with me.
This morning, I was stuck in an.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Elevator on the thirty seventh floor of my apartment in Boston.
I had to call the fire department and the elevator company.
They finally chanting after thirty minutes. It wasn't fun, but
I did call my family and wish some farewell just
in case.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
That's always good, and that's very thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, that's terrifying. I'm glad that she got out.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Who lives on the thirty seventh floor high rises in Boston?
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, I couldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
The fast elevators freaked me out too, very convenient. Yeah,
but it's like boom, you're on the hundredth floor. What
if something goes wrong.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm always afraid because you see it in movies all
the time, like when people fall down the elevator shaft
in the elevator, the cable breaks or something.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, he just can't think you're right.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
The high rise ones freak me out.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
It freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
I keeps seeing I could never live in a building
like that.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, thirty seven floors, that's high up.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
So my boyfriend literally will not will not look touch
my belly button and touch his own, like if his,
if my fingers even rubbed against his, he freaks out, easworm. Yeah,
we we're to say.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
But it's true.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yeah, belly button was on the list Fear of belly buttons.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Well, the inny gather stuff. Sometimes occasionally have to take
your finger in there.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
And one of my one of my best friends, infamously
he was a large person. He's a very large, big guy.
He used to hide contraband in his belly button. That's
where he would fashion. Well, he had a big belly.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Oh so yeah, you put the little plastic bag full.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Of he would just he would put different contraband little
ones into he would stuff them in his belly button.
And it worked because there were a couple of times
where he got searched and they did not find the contraband.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
So he had a severe in Oh yeah, big belly
covered by huge good morning als of the metal borough here.
Speaker 13 (20:45):
And my phobia is the sound of other people chewing.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Now, if they're chewing something soft.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
And their mouth is closed and that's quiet's fine.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But if somebody is chopping on.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
An apple right next to me, I cannot stand it.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And recently I went to the movie.
Speaker 13 (21:04):
Theater and somebody sitting next to me was chomping on
there for the whole movie.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Yeah, and oh, it was all I could think about.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
You know, what's a big crunch as free doo's any
kind of that, that's a loud crunch.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
It's funny. Yesterday we were talking about Taylor and Travis
not arguing, and when we were talking about it, I
text my wife and I said, what's a dumb argument
that we've had?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And she goes, oh, you chewing too loudly. You know,
Michelle accuses me of that sertime, not that I'm chewing
with my mouth open, just that it's loud and my
mouth is closed. What can I do about that?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Well, you're a chomper. You chomp, that's what you do.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, prompt shop, Laura.
Speaker 13 (21:43):
I'm listening to you, guys.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
I'm taking a walk.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My fear is flump.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
I was a that's at assistant for many years. At
anytime somebody was coughing or hacking up the sue or
even blowing their nose, I would get to hedgdi.
Speaker 13 (22:02):
I would have to walk out of the room and
take a deep breast in another room.
Speaker 6 (22:06):
That's why I became the office manager.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She can have a date you, Bill, Okay, get a little.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Hey, guys, welcome back into the Best of Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. It's producer Riley and I'm kind
of down the top five.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Moments of the week with you.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
So this week we had to answer the question if
you go out on a date with somebody and then
go back to their place and their entire apartment or
houses decorated, like really decorated for Christmas? Is that a
red flag? We opened it up for you guys to
chime in.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
So let's go right to the phones. It's number two.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Let's go to rosalind Dale. Nicky's on the phone. Good morning, Nikki,
she's in Rossie.
Speaker 13 (22:47):
Good morning. I totally love that Lisa brought up that
this could be something of a family tradition. So for him,
this might be, you know, something that he enjoys to do,
but totally not.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
A turn off.
Speaker 13 (22:57):
And I'm raising the sun and I would love for
him to decorate his plate.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Yeah it's nice, it creates cheer.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
But how old is your son, Nikki?
Speaker 13 (23:09):
Oh well, he's nine. But I have two eighteen year
old nephews and I can see one decorating and one not.
So again, it all turn you know, it all comes
down to I think it's going to turn off, is
my point.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I know that my son Max is eighteen. He's at college.
He like wanted to put a tree in his dorm room.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
He asked me for the record, I lived for a while,
I decorated.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
I think I did.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Fine, You're just fine. That's good. Gretchen is in Wakefield.
Good morning, Gretchen. Your thoughts Hi.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
Yeah, my first thought is and you're winning right there.
He's living alone, he has.
Speaker 12 (23:48):
His own place. And secondly, I would stick it out
through the holidays because who knows what your Christmas present
would be.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Oh yeah, If he's decorating, that means he's really into
gift giving too.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Great point.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, yeah, great point. He thinks he's Santa.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Good morning.
Speaker 14 (24:04):
All about the decorations. A single guy decorating? Who cares?
There's so many worse things in life. Be festive. The
guy likes Christmas? Who cares? It means he's going to
spoil you to death on.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Christmas Day because he thinks he's Santa.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Okay, single guys, if you're out there, keep decorating. They're
loving it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Keep it festive.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
The train set, get the Nativity that you see, you
gotta get the Village's to think those are like his friends.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, because you're alone. The people in the village, the
little people.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
They just became my friend.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
That's a little sad. I was never alone. That's a
little not make a drink and go sit near the village.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Let's go to Curtis in Sudbury. Curtis, what do you think?
Speaker 8 (24:54):
Hey there, are you good?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
What's going on in your life right now? Curtis?
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Okay, I have to preface this that I'm super gay.
I'm in a one bedroom condo with nine hundred and
twenty square feet and I have a total of ten trees.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Wow gets you.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
Yeah, And because I moved from a three bedroom house.
One guy and I'm like, Christmas brings me joy. And
I have a train set. It was something that I
bought my father when we did train sets, like you know,
thirty forty years ago, and he passed away.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
So it's a memory of line and this.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Person probably lived in a home that celebrated Christmas and
it was very meaningful to him.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah, and bringing those memories.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Back by decorating like that. But this my place I
walked in. It's lit up like Las Vegas, and it
brings me so much joy.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
And I think that's a green flag because it's you know,
he he enjoys.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
This time of year because it brings back nostalgia.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yeah, and when the train comes around every time you
feel like Dad's passing through town. I agree.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I think it's it just creates like a nice warm atmosphere. Yeah,
even if it's over the time.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Yeah, he makes a lot of good points. And I
think that's the thing if it was a big deal
in your family growing up, especially if they left you
some of the decorations.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Right, and you're you're continuing on with the tradition.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Well, think about the ornaments alone, right, you want to
have every ornament tell a story. You remember where you
got the ornament and.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Why My parents gave me all of my ornaments from yeah,
from when we were little.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So it's a good feel. Let's go to rejieve in California,
Oh West Coast Regie.
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Hey, good morning guys. I have to kind of agree
with Curtis also, right because it could have been a
big deal for his family and he's keeping that tradition alive.
And especially also if you fat family members that have
passed away, it's the way to sort of feel connected
to them. Right. So I mean kind of like dating
Buddy the Elf, right, like who he really is?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well, again, that's the question, do you want dating Buddy?
He's legging him to Buddy the off Yeah, okay, yeah,
like really into the holiday.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
All right, somebody in California is listening to us right now.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah, Raggie is always listening. So it's what time is
it there, It's four forty nine am. Yeah, he's listening.
Shout out to Regie, thank you.
Speaker 13 (27:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
My first song on the guy with his place decorated
and Christmas decor would be who did some girl.
Speaker 13 (27:18):
Do this for you?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Oh oh wow. That's an interesting theory.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Yeah, a girl or maybe his mom.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Have we not considered that he did mother came over
to decorate his place because that's another pretty big red flag,
or her sister.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
And by the way, we're not saying there's anything wrong
with single guys who were decorating for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yeah, this was just like one of your friends.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
She started about the guy.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
They dated a few dates and she was weirded out
by it.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Yeah. She went to his apartment and she walked in
and it was like a Christmas you know, wonderland with
tree and lights and everything, and she just doesn't know
how to feel.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
She's kind of torn on it. Should she keep going
out with him?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
That's what Well, Again, the guy has passion for it,
and that's good, Like you want somebody that has like,
you know something that he really likes.
Speaker 4 (28:07):
But do you want to date Buddy the Elf?
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
See that's the question, that's the line.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, like you.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Are, he's going to like dress her up?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
He answers, just like a Carol.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Answer the door, dresses Buddy.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
The elk Exactly.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
I have to do some very naughty things to get
my husband to just bring the Christmas decoration boxes upstairs
so I can decorate.
Speaker 12 (28:43):
So if the man is willing to.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
Decorate the whole house by himself, and I'm not even
part of the equation yet, I think that's green flags
all day, no red flags, go for it.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Yeah, that's a very good point.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
It's a lot of people, like their spouse or their
significant other may not be into decorating. So that's always
an issue too with couples, like who's into it and
who's not, so one person ends up doing all the
dec Well.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
It's also the hassle of it, Like when Michelle brings
it up, it's like, oh, really, we're going to do
that today, But then once we're doing it, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Christmas music on Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah Memories.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
She does naughty things for her husband for carrying up
all the Christmas. Yea, I wanted to.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Learn more about that.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Yeah, I'd set up an entire state of villages.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Whatever it takes.
Speaker 15 (29:35):
Good listen as a wife and mother that always puts
out the decorations every year, Mary, the guy that puts
out the decorations and has some holid each year, I
don't think that's bad at all.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
The only thing.
Speaker 10 (29:49):
That would give me the ick is, you know, the
snow globes or the Nativity scene. Maybe that's pushing it
a little too fall they.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Wear multiple snow blows.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
See that's it.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah, see, there's it's the line.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Yeah, no Nativity scene.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
But again, like maybe this like we were saying, like
maybe this is like a big thing in his childhood
and he's just well.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The Nativity scene religious thing too. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Okay, so we're going with Lise, We're going with.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
We're going there.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
It's okay, go on another date.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Yeah, absolutely, embrace, Embrace buddy the elf.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
All right, so they're going to go on another date.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Okay, good to know single guy decorating who cares to me.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
That's a bonus because my husband does nothing.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
All right, Well, let's get right into the number one moment.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's producer Riley, and this week we had Oh's the
Mentalist call into the show because he is going to
be in Medford on December twenty first, but he actually
has an interesting connection to Billy Costa.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Ohs are you there?
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Good morning? I am here. How are you, Billy?
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I'm doing fine. By the way, I don't think there
probably aren't any tickets available. I can't even imagine, but
you are coming to Medford, buddy.
Speaker 8 (31:00):
I think there are some left, so dang, get out there,
get some and I promise you and experience unlike anything
you witnessed before. There's also there's VIP tickets left, which
are usually the first ones to go because what you
get is you get guaranteed mind reading from me, so
you get to show up early. And it's a smaller group.
And I think there's a few left. I don't want
to jinx myself here, but last I checked, there were
(31:22):
a handful left to jump on it.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
All right, that's good news, that is good news. I
know our producer co host in the other studio, Justin,
already has his tickets. He's not going to miss it.
But we've seen a lot of your stuff, okay. And
by the way, o's you and I have a weird connection.
And let me know, Chris Austin, Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (31:43):
Billy and Lisa, you want to do for a living?
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So yeah, so you were with Tom Brady in his apartment.
Rob Gronkowski was there, Julian Edelman, and the other person
in the room was yes, my son, Chris Costia. What
do you remember from that session?
Speaker 8 (31:59):
Don't don't even know if you know how much deeper
it goes down the rabbit hole, which is a big
video got posted two days ago. It's viral on barstool Sports.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Yeah, we are someone in the room.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
Thought of anyone. He thought of anyone one of the
Barstool Sports guys, and then he changed his mind to
try to trick me. And I guess that he was
thinking of Chris Costa and that that's the even crazier
part because just you know, right before I got in
the station, he had thought of your son at a
separate instance. But I'll never forget his face. Chris's face
was just shell shocked. It was. It was no rip
(32:31):
of any pack of cards that ever come close to
how much I freaked him out.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I feel, well, you know what's weird is we actually
have a clip of that at barstool A player it
right now this moment, right, you have no idea who
you're going to think of. You don't know yet only
when I sat my fingers.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
You're going to think of that one person right now?
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Did you just decide right in that moment? Yes, pick
a letter in this person's first name. He just grab
a letter. I just like, I'm just gonna grab on out.
You got one? Are are you even r?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
You didn't decide on a person until I snapped my fingers, right?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
You didn't write this down with for this No we
could know. Initials are the same, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Chris? Chris? What?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (33:11):
What is going on between you and my son Chris?
Cost To all of us on your all buddies.
Speaker 8 (33:17):
The universe is colliding. It's kind of like a couple
of goats, the goat of mentalism, the goat of cards,
and the goat of football. It's all coming together in
Boston December twenty first, everybody.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
I think it all kind of started for you os
on America's Got Talent. Do you remember what you did
on that show?
Speaker 8 (33:34):
Oh? My god, like it was yesterday, So that was
ten years ago. They like to say it takes ten
years to become an overnight success. And I went on
there with Howie Mandel, with Howard Stern, who I was
just with yesterday. Me'll be Heidi Kloon my door and
I guessed a number that Heidi was thinking and a
vacation that Mel had gone on. And that is, honestly
(33:56):
where it all began. That little rocket fuel the momentum.
And hopefully you've seen a lot of me, and if
you've searched one video, you're gonna get a whole lot
more in your feed right now. The algorithm loves me
on social media.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah. The fact is, in the last ten days or so,
you've been with Tom Brady, Howard Stern, you were on
at Bartstool headquarters. You're gonna be on Fallon tonight. You
know what the good news is, Oh's you made it
to the big time the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Listen.
Speaker 8 (34:22):
This is jumping right to the top of my team
right now. You know it Medford, Massachusetts, represent I've run
the Boston Marathon many times. I have a very big
fond it's from Massachusetts in Boston.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Gang. Wow, Yeah, you're like an ultra ultra marathon.
Speaker 8 (34:36):
A right, that's that's my side hustle. I think my
wife just throws me out of house and just says,
run as far away as you can.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And get out of my head.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
That's those five kids.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
Wow, oh my god, five kids, five kids under ten.
That's the real magic is how I'm still alive and
how we both get any sleep right now because you
have two little babies. But it is the greatest joy
in the world, and it's a busy house.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Let me tell well, I've run a bunch of marathons,
including Boston several times. My youngest son, Dylan is training
for his first marathon. Would any kind of a tip
you can give them?
Speaker 8 (35:10):
I think the one thing that people do poorly on
their first marathon. The two things is one, you go
out too fast. You got the adrenaline pump and you're
having a great time and you start not running your race,
but you start running some other race you didn't plan.
And second, everyone eats too few calories their first marathon
and they bonk, they blow up, they get to you know,
in your case, they get the heartbreak hill and the
(35:32):
heartbreak begins. And what you want to avoid is you
want to eat more than you think you need to.
So I'm powering those jels. I'm taking about three of
them per hour. Everybody's stomach is different, but you owe
people they just don't eat enough calories at their first race.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
So what's the show at the Chevalier gonna look like?
What's it like December twenty first?
Speaker 8 (35:51):
So for those who have no idea who I am,
this is going to be unlike any magic show you've
ever seen. So what I do is called mentalism. It's
magic of the mind. There's no car trick. You will
lead there thinking I can read your mind. Spoiler alert.
I can't really read minds.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
I read people.
Speaker 8 (36:06):
But it's very interactive, which means you don't just sit
there and watch me on stage. Tons and tons of
you out in the audience are going to get involved,
throwing frisbees around, running around, posting envelopes to people you
don't know who's going to get picked, and that's half
the fun. So come there. You know, if you want
to get some secrets out of somebody's head, bring your
spouse or your boyfriend or girl. I'm seeing I'm not
going to get in one in trouble.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
Careful if something like that happened at the Coldplay concert
here last year.
Speaker 8 (36:31):
It's all fun, it's all wholesome. If you have seen
me before with NFL teams, Tom Brady, then you know
what it is. This is a unique experience. Again, it's
like magic, but it's magic without the props. So my
job is to show you how I can get inside
your head, how I can influence your thoughts, and do
it in a very fun, memorable way that is squeaky clean.
(36:53):
Bring the family, You're going to have a night to remember.
And I'll be at the Chevalier Theater on December twenty first,
I think, like I said, there's a few tickets left.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Now, ohs, you have a book out right, sure do.
Speaker 8 (37:03):
It's called Read Your Mind. It's a you know, humble brag,
number three New York Times bestseller.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Now, if you really want to sell some books, okay.
Lisa Dunavan is in studio, my partner here, and she's
got an incredible book club. She takes it all over
the country. Now you've got to come to the book club.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
We've had thousands of people at my book club, and
we want you to come back to Bostin and do it.
Speaker 8 (37:22):
All right, Lisa the pressure's on. I'm going to try
to find a slot. I'm going to try to piggyback
off another show. We're going to come to Chevalier. People
are going to book me for events, and then I'm
going to come to the book club. This is like
a win win win, and Chris Bost is going to
show up in the middle.
Speaker 3 (37:36):

before I did. Wow, okay O'speerlman coming to the Chevalier

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
