Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the best Avillian Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Just wa wait, it's producer Riley. Thanks for being up
early with me on this Saturday morning. Not quite as
early as when I do the five Air and Brewine
show during the week, but still pretty early for a weekend.
So let's get right into the top five moments of
the weekend. Number five really was a learning opportunity. What
we learned was that parents love to lie.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
The lies that our parents told us when we were
very young.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
And the one that stands out from me is that
they would make you sit on the beach for an
hour if you had a bite of sand, would you're
gonna get cramps and dround And you know what that
was on the list.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
If you touch that toad, you will get warm.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
You keep popping your.

Speaker 5 (00:40):
Fingers like that, you're gonna have arthrives by the time
you're thirty after eating.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
You gotta wait thirty minutes before you swim, or you're
gonna drown.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
If you swallow that gumnal thing your stomach for seven years.
If you drive a pinion from the top of the building,
it will hit.

Speaker 6 (00:52):
Someone and kill them.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
Don't sit that close to the TV.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
To ruin your eye sight.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
If you swallow that watermelon seed, you're gonna grow one
in your belly.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
If you talk to strangers on that.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
AI, you will get kidney.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Y'all better turn off those lights back there. It's illegal
and we will crash and die.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Where did they get from, I don't know their parents.

Speaker 7 (01:11):
Yeah, I mean, let's start with the light on the car.
So I actually just learned that was not illegal last year.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
You mean the ceiling light in the back when you're driving.

Speaker 7 (01:21):
Because we were in the car with my family and
you know, my son had the light on the back.
I told him to shut it off and then he
said no, and I said no, we can get pulled over.

Speaker 8 (01:30):
And then Jen later on said, you know that's not true.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, it's not I know. My parents never told me that.

Speaker 9 (01:35):
They just said it was like hard to drive if
you were the person driving with the back light on. Sure,
But like the knuckle cracking, that was a huge one that.

Speaker 8 (01:43):
Was told to me. Huge that was told to me.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, the frog in the war was definitely one of
the big ones when I was a kid.

Speaker 8 (01:48):
Yes, And the other one.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Was if you make that face, it's going to stay
that way.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
And what about reading in the dark, that it.

Speaker 8 (01:55):
Hurts your eyes.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (01:57):
Yeah, I grew up my whole life not reading in
dark places. I always made sure to have good light
at least.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Did you tell these to any of your kids when
they were growing up?

Speaker 4 (02:06):
The reading of the dark, I still do.

Speaker 9 (02:09):
The gum I do that it takes seven years to digest,
So that's not true.

Speaker 8 (02:14):
That's it's.

Speaker 9 (02:17):
And then the knuckle cracking, I actually always thought it
was real, but now I'm finding out that it's not.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I have a few people in my life that crack
their knuckles all the time, and I'm silently thinking, Oh,
they're not gonna be able to move their fingers in
about five years.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, I don't think it's true.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
That wasn't true either.

Speaker 7 (02:31):
Well, the funny face one was if you cross your eyes.
I cross my eyes as a joke, and they said,
you know, I think they went as far to say
one time that if I was crossing my eyes and
somebody hit me, or if there was a sudden like
you know, a jolt, Yeah, some kind of jolt, then
it would stick forever.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
And what about sneezing with your eyes open?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Okay, I never heard that what happened because I sneeze
a lot.

Speaker 10 (02:54):
No.

Speaker 9 (02:54):
I always heard like, you would die if you like,
that's why you have to like, you.

Speaker 8 (02:58):
Know, can you though? Can you sneeze with your eyes open?

Speaker 5 (03:01):
I don't know. I think you're supposed to.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Really what if your eye pops right out?

Speaker 8 (03:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I mean that's a lot of force, Like a really
good sneeze, it's a lot of force.

Speaker 7 (03:10):
Yes, So I'm looking at chatch epet now. So gum
passes through your digestive system within two or three days.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
And I always heard back to sneezing. I always heard
that every time you sneeze, your heart skips a beat.
Is that another made up line?

Speaker 11 (03:24):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (03:25):
Look that one up? What about peeing in the pool
different color?

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (03:31):
So is there not a product that you can put
in the pool to make the pee turn a different color?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (03:36):
I don't think there is. It's a complete myth. It's crazy.

Speaker 9 (03:41):
I remember my parents would always say like, oh, that
place is closed, Like, oh, you know it's local.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
That doesn't.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
Some other ones that weren't on that list. Are that
drinking coffee stunt your growth? If you're a kid produce
rally nodding her head, so she's heard that one. That
is not true. That's not true.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I had one as a kid that never came true.
Thank god. My father would always say, I'll give you
something to cry about. Luckily that didn't happen.

Speaker 9 (04:13):
How about the ice cream trucks play music only when
they're out of ice cream?

Speaker 8 (04:17):
That is the most vicious lie.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I never heard of that one. That's why would they
play the music if they don't have an ice cream
to sell? But that's the myth. Like they so the
parents won't give you the money for the ice cream,
ice cream, that's why he's playing the song. I love
that one.

Speaker 8 (04:35):
That's a great one.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
Actually, over the weekend, the ice cream truck was near
near my house and my son heard. He comes running outside,
wanted me to drive him to chase the ice cream.
Oh yeah, I'm like, And they always come up the
worst time, Yes, the worst time. Another one's eating carrots
will let you see in the dark, because kids don't
eat vegetables.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, I was always told carrots will improve your eyes.

Speaker 8 (04:54):
I don't I don't know if that's true.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Okay, here's the one that I totally remember. Storks liver baby.

Speaker 7 (05:01):
Yeah, you quickly figure out that yeah, I know, but.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
I have to say, for like a brief moment in time, I.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Actually believed Mom's in the hospital. But the stork's going
to bring your baby sister or brother.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
Wait, back to the cast. So carrots are good for
your eye health. Won't give you superpowers where you can
see in the dark. That's not true.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
You're not getting night vision.

Speaker 8 (05:25):
No, no, not at all.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Biggest lies you've told as a parent or that your
parent has told to you, it's producer Riley on Kiss
when a wait, we're counting down the top five moments
of the week.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Let's get into number four.

Speaker 12 (05:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
We were talking about the biggest lies that you've ever told,
and Lisa just remembered one you used.

Speaker 9 (05:45):
To command and say that you would tell your children
when they were at the circus with you that during
intermission that the show was over.

Speaker 8 (05:53):
Oh yes, I remember.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
This, Come on, it's over.

Speaker 8 (05:59):
Yeah, you have no idea.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
I think I used this everything from Disney on ice
to the rodeo to the circus, any of those events.
When intermission came and the lights went on, I would say,
come on, we gotta go. We get to beat the crowd,
and I said, we can grab a souvenir before they
run out. Right on the way out, you know, I'd
definitely taking them in the store, grabbed the souvenir, I said,

(06:20):
come on, we'll never get out of the parking lot.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
We'll get it hurt.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
They never knew, Yeah, never knew, never knew that it
was only half the.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, there was a second half.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's a good one.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
I think one of the first events that I took
my son to when he was probably two or three,
was I think Disney on Ice. Yeah, and you told
me that before we went. He has a hot tip.

Speaker 13 (06:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, Because nothing's going to change in the second half.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
It's just more people skating around and animals skating around.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
That's true. Oh god, so many lives.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
This circus stays the same second half.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
I saw reel over the weekend and it was all
the lies your parents told you, and I checked every
single box.

Speaker 8 (06:56):
I believe all these were true.

Speaker 10 (07:00):
Young used to tell us when they were eating lobsters
that they were eating bugs, so we wouldn't want them.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Wow's creative.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
Well, aren't they kind of like bugs.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Vas the sea? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (07:14):
Yeah, No, they're not.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
The bugs of the sea.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
But I know what you're saying.

Speaker 7 (07:19):
No, they used to be a long time ago. They were,
they were. They weren't a delicacy. They were given to
people in prison.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, in prison, and then the galleys rowing the ships. Yes,
you know, the slaves were lack of a better word,
they would give them lobster, and then lobster became.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
They're scavengers basically.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
What it is now. Yeah, they are scavengers. Just keep
in mind when you're having the lobster. Everything they eat
is off the is off the bottom.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yes, they're bottom feeder.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
They are.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
They Expensive's odd.

Speaker 8 (07:49):
When you think of it.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Expensive body, Oh my, and they keep getting more and
more expensive.

Speaker 8 (07:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (07:54):
My mom always said that if you had the shower
on while it was thundering and.

Speaker 10 (07:58):
Lightning out, that you would get by light nings.

Speaker 9 (08:01):
So I still, at twenty eight years old, will not
take a shower if there's a storm.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh my god. My parents used to tell me that.

Speaker 8 (08:09):
I never heard that one.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah, and the pool was a big one using water
right wait, yeah, wasting the water away?

Speaker 8 (08:17):
What are you doing in there? Yeah?

Speaker 11 (08:18):
You guys remember that.

Speaker 14 (08:20):
When we were younger, they would say if you had
a dream and you died in your dream, that you
would die in real life.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
I think I remember that, but I think it was
other kids that told me that, not my parents. Yeah,
that's a little morbid for your parents to tell you,
you know.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
But one of them was.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
About coffee, that if you drink coffee as a kid,
it will stunt your growth.

Speaker 15 (08:39):
As a parent, I still use the coffee will stunt
your growth.

Speaker 14 (08:42):
My toddler's always trying to take a sip in my coffee,
and I told him he'd shrink down like ant man
if he.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Takes a sip in my coffee.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
And he still believes it.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
It's so crazy, like we teach our kids not to lie,
but then we kind of tell them lies.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
And there were so many more. I'm racking my brain
that my parents would tell me. A lot of them
related to school or I mean, there are so many.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
Well, you just want your kids to listen and do
what do what you tell them to do, and when
they won't, you gotta you gotta do what you gotta do.
Let's go to Selene online too.

Speaker 8 (09:13):
All right, Selene, you're online too. Good morning.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Add to the list. Selene. Hello, Selene, all right, Selene
dropped off like that name. It's a nice name.

Speaker 8 (09:26):
You don't meet a lot of Selene's.

Speaker 9 (09:28):
You know.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
Yeah, Selene, we'll try to get you on the second.
Sorry about that.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
So I love dogs.

Speaker 12 (09:33):
My dad doesn't. And a big lie. He would tell
me when I was a kid, is dead while I
pet a dog. If I get the I booger of
a dog and then rub it, then rub my eyes,
I would see black and white forever, or I would
get like blind.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
So that's a big lie.

Speaker 7 (09:53):
See now we're just just completely making stuff up here.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
I've never heard anything. I've been resembling that one.

Speaker 8 (10:00):
Never heard that.

Speaker 7 (10:01):
There was one of the list about sneezing with your
eyes open. I kind of was speculating. I don't think
you can sneeze with your eyes open.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
I actually learned this from the college class ones.

Speaker 14 (10:09):
You physically can't sneeze with your eyes open because it's
a reflex that your eyes automatically close.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yeah, I believe that well.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
I always was told that your heart skips a beat
when you sneeze, and I have sneezing jags in the morning,
So you.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Know my heart skips a beat just regularly. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I have like an a rhythm.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, wasn't there a song my heart skips a be
there is.

Speaker 8 (10:32):
I think I have the same thing, but there's a
name for it.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Really.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yeah, because I had an e KG. They thought something
was wrong and they said it was that, and in said,
it's no big deal.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
It's not Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 8 (10:42):
Yeah what pill.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
No, wasn't there something about wartz.

Speaker 8 (10:48):
Frogs?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Yeah, they came from frogs.

Speaker 8 (10:50):
Yeah, frogs.

Speaker 10 (10:51):
I used to have actually a reoccurring nightmare about swallowing
a watermelon sleeed and being brushed into the hospital because
my stomach was going to explode from the watermelon groad
in my stomach.

Speaker 8 (11:05):
I'm telling you, I was full of fear as a
kid when I heard these things. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Mine was swallowing gum, like never swallow gum.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
Yeah that it was really bad for you. It just
sits and the more that you you swallowed, the mall
would pile up.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yes, And we found proof to the contrary. Right with
the gum swallowing.

Speaker 8 (11:19):
It's a few days. It's a few days that sits
in your stomach and then it passes through.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Good morning crew.

Speaker 14 (11:26):
This is not one that was told to me, but
something that I used to tell my kids. I would
tell them when we were at the beach. If they
found a sand dollar and we put it on the
dashboard of the car, it would turned into a real dollar.
Kept them busy forever, and it only cost me a
few bucks.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh my god, I love that walk the beach.

Speaker 8 (11:47):
Let's go to Selene. I think she's back online to
hey Selene.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Hi, good morning, Hey we got you give us a
good one.

Speaker 15 (11:57):
So when I was little, I was told if you
pick yourn and eight year boogers, it would make worms
grow in your helmet.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Never heard that one by that childhood so gross.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Oh really, yeah, what's he doing now?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's in the hospital getting a worm removed.

Speaker 15 (12:20):
I remember when we wouldn't finish all the food on
our plate at a time, Our parents would always say,
you have to eat all of your food. There's children
starving in Africa. And thinking about it today, I'm like, well,
what was you supposed to do? Send them what we
didn't finish.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
I still.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
My parents say that said that to me.

Speaker 9 (12:41):
Yeah, well, it's about wasting food, it's having right.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
That was sort of the moral of but they wanted
to guilt you. Right, young children are starving in Africa.
You got to eat those carrots yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:53):
Meanwhile, you know, unfortunately there's starving kids everywhere.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 8 (12:57):
Really, it's about food wasting.

Speaker 16 (12:58):
Yes, did anybody hear the one that if you ate
food directly from the can, like canned soup or canned beans,
that you would get lockjaw and not.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
Be able to open your mouth.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
That's a new one.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, that's a new one on me because most of
what we ate came out of a can.

Speaker 11 (13:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
True, yeah, true, Morning Morning Show. I think you're forgetting that.

Speaker 9 (13:19):
A lot of our children are listening to you guys
on buses and on car drives to school.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Oh so thanks for blowing our cover.

Speaker 13 (13:28):
Well.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Survivor fans, listen up. It's producer Riley from Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. This week, Survivor Season forty nine
kicked off and we had a local contestant in the studio.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's number three, Shannon fair Weather. Good to see you,
good to see here.

Speaker 13 (13:43):
It's good to be here, so good to be here.
It's so funny to be here. I just have to say,
because I grew up watching this show, and I grew
up going to school with my mom listening to the show, So.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
To be here it's very full circle. It's very cool.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Well, your mom Julia's in studio with us too.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Dad owned the Greatest Bar in Boston, which is arguably
the greatest bar in Boston, without a.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Doubt, without a doubt.

Speaker 13 (14:08):
And speaking of full circle, you know, the reason why
I was so inspired to go on Survivor was actually
because of Boston Rob, who I know you both know
in love.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
I mean, who doesn't love Boston Rob.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
I'll go way back with Boston.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Everybody here in that chair, several joys.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
Everybody goes way back with Boston Rob.

Speaker 13 (14:23):
And I was I think like seven when he went
on the show, and I was so inspired by him
going on. And we were just at the Greatest Bar
on Monday with him at the Survivor Cafe at the
Greatest Bar, which is.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
A whole nother ordeal.

Speaker 13 (14:35):
If anyone's looking for a Fijien experience in Boston, they
can go to the Greatest Bar.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So go ahead.

Speaker 8 (14:40):
There's a watch party tonight.

Speaker 13 (14:42):
There is there's a watch parket party actually every week.
And if you want to play some Survivor games, if
you want some.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
What is it? Wm Savice? We got Savich.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
We love Cevich.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yes, who doesn't love Sevich. You didn't know what Savice was.

Speaker 13 (14:55):
I'm all set on Savich's the greatest serving Savi.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Exactly.

Speaker 13 (15:02):
It's quite the level up from me the chicken fingers
right exactly.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
Okay, So how.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Did you land apart on the show?

Speaker 13 (15:12):
A lot of casting, you know, a lot of casting,
A dream and determination.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
That's how I got on the show.

Speaker 13 (15:18):
But for those who do want to go on the show,
I just want to say, it's so possible, right, you
see these opportunities. You see Jeff Probes come out and
he says, do you want to be on Survivor? And
the truth is you can actually get on the show.
It's really funny. You just send a video and it
can really happen.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Jeff Probe's the host of Survivor. He's actually there for
the auditions.

Speaker 13 (15:36):
So not for the auditions, I'm speaking of the commercials
that come on when you're watching the show. So all
the super fans know that in between the shows, on
the commercials, Jeff comes out and he says, this could
be you, This.

Speaker 8 (15:48):
Could really be you.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
You could come out and play this game.

Speaker 13 (15:50):
And so I saw that one day and I was like,
you know what, I really could actually I really could
play this game. So I sent in a video and
a lot of casting, a lot of process, a whole year,
the whole journey. But they all do such a great job.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
And you know, I am for the show.

Speaker 13 (16:09):
Island right right, and you know, as a Boston girl
who loves her her trips to Florida and who has
never been camping, it was definitely an adjustment.

Speaker 9 (16:18):
And they tell you, like where you're going to be,
so you know how to pack or like how does
that work?

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Oh there's no packing. Yeah, there's no packing.

Speaker 13 (16:24):
It's very legit. We're not brushing our teeth, we're not showering.
So something I actually had a practice was like going
in the ocean and figuring out to like how to
make sure my hairding gets supernted.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
So that was like a process for me.

Speaker 13 (16:35):
But in terms of in terms of like really getting
ready for the show, for me, it was mental because
I was like, if I can mentally prepare for this experience,
I can handle anything. I can handle the rain or
the challenges or the mental parts.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Did you change the way you ate before you started
the show?

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I just tried to eat more.

Speaker 13 (16:52):
Everyone tries to kind of gain some weight going up
there so that you have a little extra meat on
your bones before you go out, so then you know
you have a little extra nourishment like in your tummy.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Now, I know we have to be very careful. Yeah, yes,
we don't want to give anything away. Can you at
least tell us what the hardest part for you.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Was the hardest.

Speaker 13 (17:14):
One thing that was hard for me was while I
was out there, I missed my boyfriend's thirtieth birthday. Oh
and as someone who just like really loves my family,
you know, I went to Bentley University partially just to
be close to my mom, just partly to say close
to home. It was hard to be away from them
and you're completely no contact, and there's something hard about that.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
But as the days go on, it actually.

Speaker 13 (17:35):
Becomes really beautiful because you get this whole new perspective
on your life because you're so detached, because you're so
far away that the appreciation that you have for not
only a home cooked meal or a bed, but for
the people in your life. That was just such a
great gift that I got from the experience.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
So for somebody who doesn't even camp, doesn't either do it? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you slept on the ground. Yeah, in the jung like
of feed do.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
They give you bug spray?

Speaker 13 (18:03):
So yeah, you have bug spray. You have bug spray,
and you have sunscreen. You know, they actually used to
not give you those things. But I think people were
like suffering so badly. They were like, let's let's I
was about just a little bit, you know. But in
terms of sleeping on the ground, I don't know. I
know you haven't watched show in a while, but the
shelters are not comfortable. I don't think there's any such
thing as a comfortable survivor shelter.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
I think that's a myth. I think it's a legend.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
So I actually prefer find everything and create a roof
and yeah, like you make.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
A little bed.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (18:34):
And the nights there are so crazy because you really
do fall asleep once the sun sets, you know, and
that's something I wasn't used to. And you don't know
what time it is, so you fall asleep when the
sunsets and you wake up with the sunrise, and so
all night you're waking up and your only ability to
recognize how long was I just asleep for?

Speaker 5 (18:51):
Was the stars moving above.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
You, sowing on you?

Speaker 13 (18:56):
Oh yeah, oh, yeah, something you'd get woken up by,
like a little crab on your foot, or like one
time a rat ran across my body, actually right over.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Your body, right over my body. Did you ever get
bit by anything?

Speaker 13 (19:05):
Or I actually still have a little like bug by
on my hand. I'm not sure where that where that happened.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
But you're out there. You're definitely out there.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Okay, contrary to what you believe. I did watch several
seasons okay, Survivor, Okay, but I always wondered, where's the
camera crew sleeping? Like they in a fancy hotel a
mile away or something or yeah, so.

Speaker 13 (19:28):
I wouldn't call it fancy necessarily, but they're definitely set
up out there in Fiji.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Nowadays, they're set up.

Speaker 13 (19:34):
And one thing I really appreciate about the experience is
actually how incredible the camera crew is out there. Like
CBS Survivor, they're legit, they've been doing it for so long,
and to see the dedication of everyone on that team,
it's it's incredible. It's amazing what they do. And there's
people out there with you twenty four to seven. So
you wake up in the middle of the night, you

(19:54):
set up, there's a camera guy right there, Yeah, in
the night, in the night around, not necessarily creeping.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
You know, he's like standing there, He's well.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Do you ever try to like bribe one of them
for like a sand words, you know, offer them a
gift card to the greatest bar or something.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I did my.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Best to like befriend them the best I could.

Speaker 13 (20:14):
But I feel like the most I was able to
get out of them was just like someone who smelt fresh.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
Right.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
You can also like you feel a little bit safer
knowing that there is somebody out there with you.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, quickly, you said something off the air, You said
the show wouldn't be what it is without the host
Jeff Probes.

Speaker 13 (20:32):
You meant that, Oh, I absolutely meant that. You know,
Jeff Probes is like a living legend to me, specifically,
someone is such a big fan of the show. Going
out there, I didn't know what to expect. I'm like,
is Jeff really as involved as it seems? And Jeff lives,
breathe survivor you can't doubt that. You can't question that,
and the enthusiasm that he brings to the show and

(20:53):
the way he really cares about the cast. Two is
really really impressive. It's incredibly thorough and genuine. So Jeff
is the real deal.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
She's the secret sauce about Hill. He really is.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, and you won. That's amazing.

Speaker 13 (21:05):
No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 8 (21:08):
Just.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
We're just kidding.

Speaker 8 (21:12):
Well, they're not going to email Bill.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
Kis.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
When we welcome back into the Best of Billy and
Lisa in the morning, it's producer Riley and I am
cutting them down for you. So this week we had
Shannon Fairweather in studio. She is a contestine on the
new season of Survivor season forty nine. That was our
number three moment, but it had us thinking, what are
the best reality shows?

Speaker 3 (21:32):
All these reality shows over the years, did you have
a favorite?

Speaker 9 (21:37):
Well, I remember like like when reality TV first started,
you had you know, you had the Osbourne's, you had
the Civil Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, and
then you went into the Real World which was huge, and.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Then the Kardashians.

Speaker 9 (21:54):
But like when you talk about like competition reality shows
like The Bachelor, The Amazing Race, and Survivor, I have
to say my favorite of all time because I've watched
so many versions is the Bachelor franchise.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
Like, if you think about it.

Speaker 9 (22:10):
You've got The Bachelor, the Bachelor at Bachelor in Paradise,
now the Golden Bachelor, and I think they just keep
reinventing themselves in a way that you know, we were
saying off the air. Sometimes it doesn't hit, but it
has hit more than it has well.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
It's definitely the most successful franchise absolutely.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
In reality TV.

Speaker 8 (22:26):
I would have to say, yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
I mean they have a lot of viewers. They do well,
otherwise it would be canceled. Same thing with Survivor. You
might think to yourself, people still watch Survivor. I mean
it's the forty ninth season.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, I gotta be honest. I didn't know it was
still on. But when The Survivor first came on, I
remember watching the first couple of episodes. I remember the
guy from Rhode Island that won I think the first
season and then went to prison for tax evasion.

Speaker 8 (22:49):
Right, well, there was that Richard.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
Yeah, yeah, I think the very first might have been
you know, correct me if I'm wrong, The Real World, Yes, Robert,
early nineties. That was kind of the first one. And
then I think for Family maybe the Osborne's.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
It was the Osbourne's definitely right that took.

Speaker 8 (23:05):
You inside the home. You got a behind the scenes look.

Speaker 7 (23:08):
And then The Kardashians, of course, is probably one of
the biggest, which was created by Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 8 (23:13):
Oh yeah, our brother Haroliah. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
That was yeah, that's I mean, that's is that still
on The Kardashians.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's who I really liked Amazing Race because it kind
of took you around the world in a creative way.
And I was a big fan of Fear Factor. That
was Joe Rogan coming Back.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
He used to come in all the time studio.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
Yeah, infamously Joe Rogan down the hall at jam and Santy.
He came in because he was doing comedy in Boston
and uh and he put Santy in a chokehold and
he knocked him up because he's an MMA fighter. Oh yeah,
Santy went legit out. He has the video. It's probably
posted on his social Wow. But That's Coming Back hosted
by Johnny Knoxville Bill.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Oh really yeah, Now Johnny Knoxville. Which show was that
which was kind of reality?

Speaker 4 (24:02):
It definitely was so jackass.

Speaker 8 (24:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
For me, it was the v H one shows and
MTV obviously Jersey Shore I did watch and that's still around.
But then there was like Flavor of Love.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
That was a good one for two years.

Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, and then Rock of Love remember that one, Brett Michaels.
There was another dating one that was good that was
on VH one. MTV had some good ones.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
They had the original great ones.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh yeah, good Morning Morning, Cue.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Whinny Yesterday.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
That was hysterical satan.

Speaker 12 (24:38):
So my favorite shows, I would have to say is
Love at First Sight and Love is Blind, Absolutely love
those shows. Have a great day, guys, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hey. Reality question? Uh is below Deck considered a reality show?

Speaker 4 (24:54):
It is Dudley's catch. I like below Deck, Top Chef,
Hell's Kitchen, The Apprent. The Apprentice is one of the originals.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:02):
And the issue with a lot of these reality TV
shows is, you know, they create drama, you know, they
create storylines, you know, because they want it to be.

Speaker 8 (25:10):
A certain way.

Speaker 7 (25:11):
And that was one of the criticisms of The Golden
Bachelor the first season, there wasn't enough juice. You watch
the reality shows for the juice.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, I mean tonight, you know, the Golden Bachelor starts
and mel Owens is the Golden Bachelor, and he just
strikes me as a flat tire you know what I mean.
I'm sorry. He just is bad energy.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
You just did your entertainment at seven ten and we
played the sound of him time.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
He sounds like a bowl.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I think it started in two thousand and two, so
I watched it.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
Shut up. I don't know. I'm not into this. I
don't think this one. No, well, we'll see.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I don't know, but I will say they grabbed me
with the first seesasion of the Golden Bachelor. I thought
it breathed new life into the franchise.

Speaker 9 (25:54):
And I think that the ladies are not going to
get along as well as the first season did, because
that was one of the things that my son Riley
was saying, like they were all like too chummy. I
feel like maybe this season there might be some cat fights.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, I think Riley, your son said it. He said
the women were more in love with each other than
they were with the Garden Bachelor. Yeah, and he ended
up being a creep right.

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Oh, like Gary next level creep.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
All right, Well, you know it's going to premiere tonight
along The Survivor. We'll have Riley on tomorrow at six
point forty. And by the way, Bill, who could forget
your favorite one of all time? The Real Housewives.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh yeah. Remember I actually vowed to never mention the
Real Housewives on this show, and I never did until
that monster called into the show.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Teresa Juday's secondary moment. She had a little spat on
the air with Billy.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
And I said to you, no, I don't do Real Housewives.
I never have. Oh, we got to put her on.
She's good, Teresa, and right away she attacked me.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
All right, here we are the number one moment of
the week.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's producer Riley for Billy and Lisa in the morning
and we were talking about reality shows. We turned it
into a topic time and during the commercial break we
had so many that we kept thinking of.

Speaker 9 (27:08):
We were going down the rabbit hole of reality shows
of all time, and how could we forget like The
Biggest Loser, Extreme Makeover Home Edition.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
The Boss when they moved the bus.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
It was legendary, so emotional.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Man.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
Yeah, is that show still on?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
I don't think so.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
No.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
American Ninja Warrior where they go out on the obstacle
course and that's another reality queer Eye for the straight guy.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
Oh yeah, Carson Kressley was on that Project Runway.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
I never watched that me either. My wife's a huge
trash TV reality showers. But now it's funny now that
she's gotten a little bit older, she watches a lot
of HGTV, Like she was devastated about Jonathan scho getting canceled.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
The Farmhouse Show, The farmhous Show, Jonathan Knight.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Do you guys watch Doctor Pimple Popper?

Speaker 8 (27:58):
I can't know, it's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah no, oh yeah, and then you've got those shows
like My ten Thousand Pounds Sister and.

Speaker 8 (28:04):
Yeah, My Strange Obsession.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yes, that's so many good ones.

Speaker 17 (28:11):
Oh yeah, how can you talk about MTV's reality TV
but not talk about the best competition show, The Challenge
going on for over thirty seasons now, definitely one of
the best.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
Yeah. So you had The Real World and then you
had the Challenge. Yeah I don't even know that.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
Sorry, you had the rail World and you had Road
Rules where they would take him on the road, and
then they put them together and picked the contestants from
each show and had the Challenge, which is still on.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
I've just never watched that.

Speaker 7 (28:40):
Oh, it's so good. There's a local guy that's been
on a bunch of them CT He's local. And then
don't forget Ashley down the Hall was on the railrold.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
Oh that's right, she was.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh, that's right, Yeah, she.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Was there and they had a Boston season.

Speaker 8 (28:52):
They did, they did I think early on.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
Yeah, they did. Oh my god, because we had one
of the guys on.

Speaker 8 (28:57):
I just thought of that. My wife, Michelle was.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
In a reality show.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
What reality show?

Speaker 8 (29:02):
I forget the name of it. Oh, we need to
find this out.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, she was on a reality show, both she and
her sister. Really yeah, on the early days of reality TV.
But when you think about the industry that reality TV became,
I mean it's massive.

Speaker 8 (29:16):
Listen to all these shows. There's so many.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
I mean I have so many talkbacks and so many
shows that I completely forgot about.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Do you guys remember A Shot at Love with Tequila?

Speaker 14 (29:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:26):
That show was wild.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
I remember that show, Tila Tequila. There was a local
contestant on that show too, from my city in Malden.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
Really yeah. Yeah, they were like completely unhinged these shows.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
I just want to make a note of how absolutely
unhinged early two thousands reality TV was.

Speaker 4 (29:42):
I don't know if anybody remembers that show. Next on
MTV and.

Speaker 9 (29:47):
It was like somebody would get off the bus and
then their date would be waiting for them and they'd
take one look at.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Them and be like no.

Speaker 9 (29:54):
And then they were like really problematic shows like The
Swan where they were essentially like this, oh minut, it's
so ugly.

Speaker 11 (30:01):
We're getting her extensive plastic surgery to change her life.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Yeah, that was so messed up.

Speaker 9 (30:07):
I remember it was like one season and then it
just became like a horror show. Remember Joe Millionaire and
then we found he came in and then we found
out that.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
He wasn't a millionaire.

Speaker 8 (30:15):
Yes, it was a complete fraud.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Fraud, yeah, and they were all vying for the millionaires love. Oh,
we're going to be set for life. Nothing.

Speaker 7 (30:24):
Nothing, Yeah, I remember you telling me that story he
came into the studio I did.

Speaker 8 (30:28):
Yeah, yeah, I remember you tell me that.

Speaker 11 (30:29):
Does anyone remember the show Meets the Barkers with Travis
Barker and channel mostly his ex wife, and I thought
it was the best show. I can't remember what network
was on, but it was one of the first reality shows.
I actually remember.

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Meet the Barkers. I think I did watch that two
thousand and five ish.

Speaker 8 (30:46):
It was on MTV Travis Barker.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Let's go to the phones. Kaitlin has one. Caitlin, what
reality show you want to talk about?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Good morning?

Speaker 6 (30:55):
I definitely have to talk about Laguna Beach and the Hills.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Those were definitely one of my favorite.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
So those were reality shows?

Speaker 7 (31:03):
Yeah, of course, the Hell's Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
I followed the Teenagers were the Teenagers?

Speaker 8 (31:09):
And Laguna Beach?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (31:11):
Was One Tree Hill?

Speaker 1 (31:12):
A reality show?

Speaker 4 (31:14):
That was.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
Dawson's Creek?

Speaker 8 (31:18):
Was not real reality show?

Speaker 10 (31:22):
No?

Speaker 8 (31:22):
Well, Bill's only focused on one show.

Speaker 16 (31:24):
Good Morning guys. It's why her Good Morning guys, especially
Billy listen. If the topic is reality TV shows, there's
only one. And obviously it's a tiny playbook. It's just
following this tunky guy eating food. What's better than that?

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Oh right, you would be in that category.

Speaker 8 (31:41):
Yeah. Would that be considered a reality show?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I don't think so because it's not a competition.

Speaker 8 (31:47):
No, they don't have to be.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
No, I mean, look at the Osbourne's or the Kardashians.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
I guess in some way it could be a reality show.
Meet Boston probably more because we're out on the streets
interacting with people and artists and architects and front tours
and stuff.

Speaker 8 (32:03):
I guess it could be.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Did you text my wife yet and find out what
the name is?

Speaker 8 (32:08):
Busy right now, but I'll find out. There's a show.

Speaker 18 (32:11):

two Aeric last Night. It is a really great show.

Hey, Sarah for mein.

Speaker 6 (33:45):

what what what are you doing? That has to be
one of the best reality TV competition shows ever, especially
last season. Boston Rob you guys were talking about it
was actually on last season and there's an episode where
there's a face off between him and Bob the Drag Queen.

(34:06):
That has to do one of the best episodes of
TV in history. It is so good.

Yes, I think a lot of it's your question.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
This is like amazing.

Speaker 8 (34:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Producers came in from California and it was like a
big deal and she was like the gym owner. Yeah,
but she would always end up in arguments with people
or something.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
She told me about it over Wicked Fit.

Speaker 8 (34:38):
Oh, featuring I'm on the Hunt. This is good. I'm
going to find her. I cannot believe.
