Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey, guys, welcome into the top five moments of the week.
It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in the Morning,
and I'm going to be counting them down for you.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Happy Saturday.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
God, this week has felt so long, but let's get
right into the number five moment. Patrick Hines is a podcaster.
He's a best selling author, and he's a former intern
of the Maddie in the Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
He was so funny. You have to hear this.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I heard on the after show that Patrick Hines will
be in studio on Friday, and I cannot wait to
listen to his segment. I started listening to his True
Crame Obsessed podcast the last time he was on your show,
and if you haven't listened to it yet, you have
to get on that. A big fan of Patrick, You've
read his book, and I'm excited for Friday's show.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Wow, Patrick, your mouth was wide open for that whole talkback.
So you love this, Oh my god, I do.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
It is such an honor and a thrill to be here.
May I tell you I as you know, I interned
you for you for a year in nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I remember it like everyone was like, they don't remember you.
I was like, I know, I know.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
I was not a memorable figure in nineteen ninety eight,
but I remember you guys, and it was so life changing.
And I remember every day being like, maybe today's the
day they're gonna ask me to be on the air.
Maybe today's day they're gonna ask me to be on
the air. And it never happened, but here I am.
I can't I can't believe it.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
So we wouldn't even let you in this room barely.
Now you're at the big phone.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Well I'm so old and I'm from so long ago
that we were actually across the street at the other
at the other building, and but you all did let
me in the room.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I remember.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
This was back when the ads I think, were on
like plastic tapes or something. All the cards, yes, the cards,
and so I would come in in between like ad
breaks and stack them up for you or for Corinn
or whoever it was. I was putting them in the mission.
That was the only time I got to be in
the room where it happened. But every time I would
look around and be like, oh my god, it's happening
like Maddy in the Morning Show and Billy, and I

(01:54):
was saying before we started, you all were so famous
to me, like so so so famous I was.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
I couldn't believe I was there. Uh, well, it's a
great time. And we were talking off air. The grouping
of intern that we had at that time was amazing
because Jody Charles, uh kind of ran the board. She
was the executive producer.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
She was I think Krinn was right and that Jody
was my boss looking exactly.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, do you know that Jody Charles went on
to become the press secretary from Mitt Romney when he
was governor. No, from this show to press secretary for
the Governor of.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Jody was so smart. She was very work driven, very focusing.
And that does not surprise me at all.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
I mean, you didn't like her at the time, but
didn't like her, but I didn't like her. One in
the grouping of interns. Yeah, now I'm trying to remember
her name was Jordana, Yes, and didn't she do something
weird in New York City where she lied naked in
a glass box? Today?

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Look, I this vaguely rings the bell. I see it
talk about when when the people were like, he doesn't
remember you. I'm like, of course he doesn't remember me,
but he'll remember Geordana. And I've got to meet you
in the hallway and you were like, I'm like, I
know you don't remember me, but I.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Was here with Geordana and you're like, George, of course.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
She was just like young, very smart, beautiful young woman,
and she she would always do crazy things like that.
She was always like auditioning for like VH one, DJJ
for a day or whatever.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
She was the original reality star reality shows kicked.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Yes, and she was like obsessed with John Stamos. I
remember that was like her business. Who isn't currently who
still isn't obsessed with John Stamos?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Wow? You know I was also here, remember Randy. Randy
was like the okay, Randy was my intern, yes, and
he became our stunt guy.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Well, I was here the day that he broke onto
the film set and shoved a cell phone into George
Clooney's hands.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
George Clooney, that's a legendary story. I was in the
studio that day. George Clooney was shooting the Batman movie
in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and we sent Randy in a Robin suit, yes,
as Batman's Robin yep, and some I said, just keep
getting past the gate, just.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Just said you know what you did it, what you
told him to do. Was that the mayor was on
the phone for George. They walked him to George and
you hear him on the tape go, I'm sorry, it's
the mayor, and then it's Matt Siegel the other of
the phone.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Randy was in the dressing room with George Colooney Batman.
I'm Robin, I've arrived, and I'm like, this really isn't happening.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
And well, I remember in the studio there was like
some red police siren that started going off, like it
was like the hotline. Oh yeah, it was a wild time.
It was incredible to me.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
So, what if anything from your experience here on this
show led you to be able to do something that
gets two hundred and fifty million views.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Well that's an old number. We're over four hundred million times. No,
that's not you, that's I Look if that's our team,
that's our team. Who sent that to you? I I
was like, I was thinking about this last night. I
actually got emotional in my hotel room I was like,
it was a Working for you all was like a
life changer because I was just this like poor kid
from Cape cod who got a scholarship to go to
Emerson and I wanted to be an actor, and I

(05:11):
quickly learned I was no good at that. I was
this little gay boy with this like high pitched voice
and didn't know what I was going to do.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
In the world.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
And I came and worked for you guys, and I
my eyes were open to like fabulousness and famous people
and like and and working among that was like possible
for me.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well, it's funny because off the air you mentioned that
you were from Yarmouth, yes, down in the Cape, and
I said, oh, a couple of weeks ago I shot
the TV show in South Yarmouth, Red Jacket, and you
worked there.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
I worked at the Red Jacket for like six years,
and that was another the two most the most formidable
things in my work life were the Red Jacket and
working for you guys.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Atleast say we were at least ahead of the red
of the.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Red Jacket for sure, for sure, but you know you
all took me seriously and you gave me an opportunity.
I'm a very hard worker, and you gave me the
opportunity to do that. And so you know, I when
I moved to New York and I found my way
to podcasting, I was saying to you, like, this was
my only experience working in audio was working with you guys.
And I remember when I was working in bookings for
you guys, we used to send at Christmas, we would

(06:13):
send like little gifts to like the big agencies. I
remember we would send them to Avenue of the America
and that sounded so fabulous to me. And now I
live in New York, I'm like, oh, it's just sixth Avenue,
like you know what. I see it all the time
and I'm like, oh my god, I did it. But
you know, working for you guys is in my book
that I that I wrote, and it's in my dimension.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
I'm in your book. You are wow.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
So my book is called a Failure is not not
an option.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
It's the twelve silly.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
Stories of like my biggest most embarrassing failures in my life.
And one of them is about a weekend or really
just a night that I spent with the actress b
Arthur from The Golden Girls.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Of course you did, yes, I was. I was asked
to be her host. In a minute, you slept with me.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
I had sex with the Arthur, the only woman I've
ever been with, and weirdly the most masculine sexual experience
of my life. But it was amazing for both of us.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I'm sure it was. It was to remember that show
biz and by the way, you are a best seller.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yes, yes, the book was a best seller. And but
I got that gig being her host and guide for
the weekend because I had lied to my friends at
school who had invited her to come receive an award
talking about all of the celebrities that I worked with
on the Maddie in the Morning Show, which you all
probably smartly kept me away from all the celebrities.

Speaker 4 (07:31):
I never worked with any of the celebrities, but you
have a very high pitch for it. I know I'm
very loud.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
I'm very loud, but I so Anyway, there's a whole
chapter in my book about like when I when I
gave up the idea of being an actor, I got
an internship working for you guys, and what it was
like to like work on the Maddie of the Morning Show.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
It was just like wild and wonderful and so great.
So what makes your podcast so damn popular?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Well, so true True I'm Obsessed is my original podcast.
We've been at it for nine years, and I think
the fact that it's a true crime podcast by itself
automatically puts it in a genre that people just really
love and respond to.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Ours is really different from others.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
We recap true crime documentaries and we started doing that
before the documentary Craze.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
You know.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
It's me and my co host, Jillian Pennsyvali. So it's
like a loud gay guy and this like super opinionated
sassy girl, and we sort of just like no holds barred.
We say everything we think. We sort of just like
leave it all on the floor. It's very high energy,
it's very fast paced, and it's and it's funny, you know,
It's it's fun and endearing.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
You got a talkback justinh you guys.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
I'm so excited Patrick Hines is coming on.

Speaker 8 (08:38):
My worlds are Colliding Jillian and Patrick to kome.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
Obsessed one of my very favorite podcasts. So excited to listen.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Okay, these talkbacks are incredible. What a creation. We didn't
have this when you were here in nineteen ninety eight.
This is why no, we normally had electricity. And Justin
is the godfather of the talkback Mafia. And I love you,
Oh thank you. I maybe we'll have a b R
through MoMA. I don't know who knows. The day is young,
the day is young. I am married, but thank you

(09:09):
the same.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
I mean, you know, Hey, guys, good morning.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in the Morning
counting down the top five moments of the week with you.
And you know that we do a different topic time
every day, and this one actually came from a listener.
They sent a DM to Justin with a Reddit post.
We love when people send us ideas and things that
they want to hear about.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
You guys can always do that. But let's get into
this drama filled wedding.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I gotta tell you, hands down, my favorite topic time
is always when it involves wedding drama. And Lisa, you
had a story a few minutes ago that beats all the.

Speaker 9 (09:41):
Others, all right. We found this on Reddit. So this
person was invited to a wedding by a couple. This
person also happens to be a photographer, so the couple
was like, hey, can you take some pictures while we're
at the wedding.

Speaker 10 (09:52):
You're a guest.

Speaker 9 (09:53):
So the person was denied food, drink and they were
there for ten hours. They couldn't even sit down. So
you know what the photographer did deleted all the pictures.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
It's amazing because originally the photographer was a friend, was
a guest invited to the wedding. The minute that photographer
agreed to do a big favor, he was uninvited and
not fed. Okay, let's go to Tracy in New Hampshire. Tracy,
what have you got for us?

Speaker 11 (10:19):
I think that the photographer should have given them an
invoice for her is or her full thing and given
them a package, and they didn't pay it, don't give
them the pictures.

Speaker 10 (10:30):
You're right.

Speaker 9 (10:31):
In hindsight, it's sort of like the takeaway from this
is like, if this happens to you and you're asked
to do a favor, it's always best to put something
in writing.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
But what was the wedding couple thinking, like not feeding
the photographer, Like I'm not nice people.

Speaker 10 (10:45):
I don't think it doesn't sound like it.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Yeah, wow, Well they probably didn't intentionally not feed them.

Speaker 9 (10:51):
Or they probably just were so involved in the wedding
that they didn't even notice that the photographer wasn't being fed.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
That's really did starve them, Kay, how come the photographer
went from being invited to not having a seat at
the wedding?

Speaker 8 (11:04):
Right?

Speaker 12 (11:04):
Well, that's a good point too, But I don't think
that they like on purpose, said let's not give him
a meal.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Justin think of it.

Speaker 13 (11:10):
You said your DJ's weddings right for people that you
don't know, always got a meal, and they were gracious
enough to think of you even though they're paying you
full price, and they don't need to feed you, right because.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
It's like part of it. Yeah, yeah, I always got fed. Now,
either way, he's saying, if it's a band, they feed
the whole band right at a wedding.

Speaker 12 (11:29):
But I mean to be to be that vicious to hire,
not even higher, get your friend to do it, and
then not not give him a meal.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
It's like I would have said fire to the pictures
on their front step. Yeah there you go, hey, guys,
book club Daisy. I wouldn't have deleted the pictures. I
would have held them houses for ten thousand dollars. And
you like me, now, Yeah, that's a good option, right,
definitely a good There's probably more leverage that way. He

(11:56):
sure had the pictures.

Speaker 13 (11:57):
It's like, you want them, now, pay me three frand
I got them.

Speaker 10 (12:00):
Yeah, it's Katie for my service.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
Super petty to delete the pics. Good morning everyone.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
I have to comment on the latest topic that he
is not in a whole I know it was petty
to delete the photos, but at the same time, they
did not officially hire him or pay him, so by
not even giving him allowsy.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
What thirty fifty dollars meal, they.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Absolutely do not deserve any of those pictures, and I
agree with him have a great day.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
First of all, we all know it's it's stuffed chicken
made on mass, which means it's probably worth four or
five dollars at the most, right, So I mean, really,
there's no fifty sixty dollars stuff chicken. I know they
make them.

Speaker 9 (12:45):
It's just like so disrespectful to someone who does take pictures.
Like photography is like really important and it's hard to do.

Speaker 10 (12:52):
It's hard work.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
So they were just being really.

Speaker 14 (12:54):
Yeah, so I've been on both sides of this situation.
I'm a photographer. Even if this photographer was doing their
for free. They should have sent a contract to the
bride and groom and treat it like a typical business event.
Even if it was like a pro bono going to
do this as a favor for you, you should have advocated
for yourself. Shame on the photographer and then also my
photographer at my wedding was throwing up.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
It was a big mess.

Speaker 14 (13:16):
But I lost all kinds of photos and it was
absolutely devastating And I can't imagine being the bride and
groom in the situation. It's terrible.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
So her photographer got drunk and was puking all the wedding.

Speaker 10 (13:28):
They didn't get She didn't say if they got drugted,
said they were sick.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
But she makes a couple of good points, but she
needs to remember this person was invited as a friend
right started as ptograph happened after that.

Speaker 10 (13:40):
But that's the takeaway.

Speaker 9 (13:41):
If you get asked to do a favor for someone,
it's always best to put something in writing.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Protect yourself. Yep.

Speaker 12 (13:46):
Absolutely, But deleting the picks, I think it went a
little bit too far.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
That's just me.

Speaker 14 (13:50):
So deleting the photos altogether is pretty petty and stepped
too far.

Speaker 7 (13:56):
In my opinion.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
I think a good alternative would have been to send
them the.

Speaker 14 (14:00):
Photos completely untouched, with noe.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Edits done, because then they'll have to pay.

Speaker 15 (14:06):
Somebody to make them pretty like you see on the
wedding albums and Instagram posts and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
And also, shame on that couple. How disgusting are they
to do.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
That to a friend.

Speaker 12 (14:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's an idea because it takes a lot
of time to edit these pictures.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
There's a lot of work in a lot after the fact. Yeah, yeah,
there's a lot. Yeah.

Speaker 16 (14:26):
First of all, a rule for planning a wedding is
that your venders always get a meal, so you have
to include your foodcalt So first of all, that's just crazy.
But second of all, I probably would not have doated
the pictures simply because of my own conscience. But I
would have held on to them and said, listen, if
you loffies, then you can pay me like a vendor,

(14:48):
and requested, you know, three to four thousand dollars feet.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Y see, I'm the other way. I'm telling you, I'm
crazy with this kind of stuff. I would print all
the pictures right, process them, and then stomp on them
on their front lawn.

Speaker 12 (15:03):
And only copy and then and then light them on
fire and send them pictures of you stopping.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Signed the video. Yeah, how are you doing now with
the wedding?

Speaker 10 (15:13):
That's the ultimate.

Speaker 17 (15:15):
I just got married in May and my wedding was perfect.
That the photographers are already made from the beginning. They
came in after having meetings and meetings and meetings of
what I wanted, and.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Right off the bat ask me what should we do
which you.

Speaker 17 (15:30):
Don't want to think of on your wedding day. And
then at one point my best friend took a video
of the photographer on his phone scrolling on the dance floor,
just scrolling.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
See what I mean the drama. Oh, it's NonStop, Yeah,
it's NonStop.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
I have the best wedding story. We all went to
a wedding in November that was not a real wedding.
They went through the motions but didn't sign the papers
because the bride knew better, and thank god she did
a few weeks later she.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
Was out of there.

Speaker 9 (16:00):
So so they just had a party.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, but that didn't make it legal.

Speaker 10 (16:06):
Didn't make it legal.

Speaker 13 (16:07):
It seems like the bride didn't want to waste the
money that they just on the wedding.

Speaker 10 (16:12):
Didn't she wanted to have the party?

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah, something happened. There's always there's always something.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
So height is kind of always a touchy subject with
Billy Costa. Hey, it's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa
in the Morning, counting down the top five moments of
the week with you, and we had a discussion about
how Tinder was rolling in a new feature where you
could sort by height, and this might have started a
little disagreement with him and somebody that we brought in
from down the hall.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
It's number three, Billy, bad news for you.

Speaker 12 (16:43):
Well, not really because you're married, but if you were single,
there could be potential bad news because Tinder is testing
on a new feature that allows users to search by height.
So it's a filter that can search specifically by height.
So they're saying, they're asking the question, actually, is the
reign of the short king over on Tinder?

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Okay? I need to say something, Okay, because I was
never singled out or called short by anybody in my
life until I came around you. Okay, to be respectful
this group of people, I.

Speaker 13 (17:19):
Want to be respectful.

Speaker 12 (17:20):
Bill.

Speaker 13 (17:20):
You're very handsome, You're an average sized man, you have
three very handsome, average sized sons, and they're all short.
They're all shorter than you. I want to say, there
may be five six five seven your sons.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
I think they're probably five eight five nine. No, because
you're five and a half.

Speaker 13 (17:36):
You're five eight five nine.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
And a half. That's what I mean. It's never been
considered short. I've never been called hey, who's that short guy? Listen?
My father is five to six. So I'm not here
for you to talk about hype exactly. I come up
to my kneecap.

Speaker 13 (17:52):
I think short kings are amazing. I love a short king,
and you are a short king.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
How tall as your new born friend quests love fresh
of all, he's not what justin in.

Speaker 12 (18:04):
My line his boyfriend looks like quest Now he doesn't
at all.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Anyway, they're testing this this feature.

Speaker 12 (18:11):
It's causing a lot of controversy because people are saying
that's kind of not right.

Speaker 13 (18:17):
Yeah, you know, but Hinjari does it. So some daying
apps already do it, but you have to pay. It's
like a feature, this one too. Yeah, so it'll be
thirty nine to ninety nine a month.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
So how does it work? Your description determine how what
is short.

Speaker 12 (18:30):
Basically a filter and you can put in a specific
height and it will only show people of that height.
So if you want people that are five eleven or taller,
it'll only show those people.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Ah yeah yeah.

Speaker 13 (18:41):
So basically it's just because I will say, I've met
some guys on Tinder back in the day that claim
they're a certain height and they're not. They're not anywhere
near that. Guys been lying about their heights since the
beginning of time. Literally, yeah, see, there we go again.
I've never lied about my height.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I am what I am. I'm five ten and a half. Well,
Michelle's taller than you, No, she's not. She it's a
little when she wears heels because then she she shows
like a half inch taller than me, and out of
respect for me, she doesn't want to appear tall. Okay, Whinnie,
would you date a guy that was shorter than you?

Speaker 18 (19:11):
No?

Speaker 13 (19:12):
But I'm five okay five one's circus.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
To find someone shorter.

Speaker 13 (19:17):
Than I would have to literally date a little person
to be shorter than me. So no, but I mean
I wouldn't done them.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Wrong with that.

Speaker 12 (19:26):
But I'm just saying, I know down the hall actually
at Jamine. She's tall, you know, she's almost eleven. I
think she was a basketball player. She will never date
a guy that's shorter than her.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Her husband's like six three.

Speaker 13 (19:38):
Yeah really yeah, he's tall, tall guy, a firefighter six three.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Who but you knew realize that?

Speaker 13 (19:43):
Actually from Jaman has about four inches on you and
she's five eleven.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
She does not have four inches on me. She does taller.
Bring her down the hall? Can can we get Ashley
Felman down? Can you see? I would send her down?
She's probably wearing platform sneakers.

Speaker 13 (19:59):
No, she only wears Oh my god, I didn't see.
This was more about the people dating on Tinder. It's
not about you.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
What did you do? You turned in about me? It
was it was justin.

Speaker 12 (20:09):
So they'll have also besides the height option, the tiara
will also include prioritize likes, a specific interest filter I
like that, and a message before you match functions. So
those are other cool functions and it's never gonna work
well it does sometimes, isn't.

Speaker 13 (20:23):
Tender just becoming like what it was with like match
dot com. It's like basically taking old school dating websites
and making it on an app again, right.

Speaker 12 (20:30):
Yeah, pretty much pretty much. But I do know, like
I said about Ashley down the hall, this is a
real thing for at least for women. Yeah, they only
want Oh she's coming.

Speaker 13 (20:39):
Up, Ashley Felmon, come up to the mic, please, yeah, okay,
already she's flexing.

Speaker 10 (20:47):
Are you are you okay?

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Okay?

Speaker 12 (20:49):
So she's actually oh, she's well, she's got a couple.

Speaker 13 (20:53):
Of inches, a couple of inchest Ashley Felman, you're five
to eleven correct, five to ten?

Speaker 10 (20:58):
Roster height?

Speaker 4 (21:00):
He roster high. Oh my god, she's five ten and
she's two inches taller than Billy, not five ten, So
you're five eight. Yes, they lie about everything down.

Speaker 12 (21:10):
Oh wait a minute, hold on, hold on, hold on,
Billy Ashley. Billy is claiming that he is five to ten.
You are five to ten and you are two inches tall.

Speaker 15 (21:17):
I am First off, we just went back to back
and my I don't even have a butt, and my
brother is higher than you're a honey, Bill, that's so sweet?

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Are you telling people you're five to ten? That is
so cute?

Speaker 4 (21:27):
He says, it run in my life. But you don't
have enough. Who did you pay to get that? I'm
telling you, you know, I mean, I mean we can.
I am taller than you. You felt that correct, Yes,
you've got platform.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Let's not Karen read this.

Speaker 10 (21:42):
Am I taller than you?

Speaker 15 (21:43):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
I know you felt that. It appears that way. Let
me ask it differently. Okay.

Speaker 10 (21:48):
I am taller than you, though, and I've always been
taller than you.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
I don't right, Ash, he's trying.

Speaker 13 (21:52):
I've been saying he's five eight, a solid five eight
for like the longest time. I could feel that right,
because you have your five tens, so it's about two
three inches.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
Yeah, I would give you five eight.

Speaker 10 (22:01):
I mean that probably hurts, so we could say five.

Speaker 4 (22:03):
To nine if you want. You're a lot of women,
that's right, buddy.

Speaker 12 (22:07):
Yeah, talking about three because there's a new feature on
Tinder where you can search my height. They're rolling, they're
testing it. Wow, yeah, saying how you phenomenal. You'll only
date guys that are taller than you.

Speaker 15 (22:18):
I'm very weird with my two things, Bill. I will
only date a man A that is taller than me,
and b could beat me one on one in basketball
because I played in college. And if if I could
beat you in a one on one basketball, you are
not a man.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
It's just directly said that. So you're saying, like, in
another world, right, completely hypothetical, different game, you would express
no interest in me because I'm shorter than you. Zero. Wow,
how do you know I can't beat you in basketball?

Speaker 15 (22:52):
Okay, I didn't come down here to back.

Speaker 13 (22:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah, this is this is going to become abuse. Yeah.
I don't want that for you to love you take
you down. Thank you, Ashley. She just smashed the microphone.

Speaker 13 (23:10):
She's pumping, she's pumping her breast milk.
