Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best a billion Lisa in the morning on Wait,
happy Saturday. I hope you were enjoying this beautiful fall weather.
It's producer Riley.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm going to be.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Counting down the top five moments of the week with you.
So let's get right into number five. Because we were
talking about lies that your parents have told you. We
turned this into a topic time and Lisa kicked us
off with one that she remembered about Billy.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Lisa, what was it you used to come in and say.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
That you would tell your children when they were at
the circus with you that during intermission that the show
was over.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Oh yes, I remember this.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Now come on, it's over. Yeah, you have no idea.
Speaker 7 (00:43):
You got to use 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.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
We get to beat the crowd.
Speaker 8 (00:57):
And I said, we can grab a souvenir before they
run out. It's on the way out, you know, I'd
definitely take them in the store, grabbed the souvenir, I said,
come on, we'll never get out of the parking lot.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
We get it hurried.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
They never knew. Yeah, never knew, never knew that it
was only half.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
There was there was a second half.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
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 9 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Yeah, because nothing's going to change in the second half.
Speaker 8 (01:24):
It's just more people skating around and animals skating around.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
That's true. Oh God, so many lives.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
The circus stays the same second half.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I saw reel over the weekend and it was all
the lies your parents told you, and I checked every
single box. I believe all these were true.
Speaker 10 (01:41):
My parents, when we were young used to tell us
when they were eating lobsters that they were eating bugs,
so we wouldn't want them.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Wow, that's creative.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well, aren't they kind of like bugs crust vas see?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, No, they're.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Not the bugs of the sea.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, but I know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
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 6 (02:09):
Yeah, prison, and then the galleys rowing the ships yes,
you know, the slaves.
Speaker 8 (02:14):
For lack of a better word, they would give them lobster,
and then lobster.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Became they're scavengers basically what it is now.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Yeah, they are scavengers. Just keep in mind when you're
having the lobster. Everything they eat is off the is
off the bottom. Yes, they're bottom feet.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Er, they are. They are right.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Expense, it's odd when you think of it. Expensive body, oh.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
My, and they keep getting more and more expensive.
Speaker 11 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (02:37):
My mom always said that if you had the shower
of while it was thundering and lightning out, that you
would get struck by lightning. So I still, at twenty
eight years old, will not take a shower if there's
a storm.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
My parents used to tell me that.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I never heard that one. Yeah, and the pool was
a big one using water, right, well, yeah, wasting the water?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
What are you doing it?
Speaker 9 (03:01):
Yeah, you guys remember that.
Speaker 13 (03:03):
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 5 (03:10):
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. But one of them was about coffee, that
if you drink coffee as a kid, it will stunt
your growth.
Speaker 13 (03:22):
As a parent, I still use the coffee will stunt
your growth. My daddler's always trying to take a sip
in my coffee, and I told him he'd shrink down
like ant man if he takes a sip in my coffee,
and he still believes it.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
It's so crazy, like we teach our kids not to lie,
but then we kind of tell them lies.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
And there are so many more.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
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 5 (03:48):
Well, you just want your kids to listen and do
what do what you tell them to do, and when
they won't, you got to you gotta do what you
gotta do. Let's go to Selene online too.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
All right, Selene, you're online too.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Add to the list. Selene. Hello Selene, all right, Selene dropped.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Off like that name. That's a good name.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
That's a nice name.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
You don't meet a lot of Selene's, you know. Yeah, Selene,
we'll try to get you on the second. Sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
So I love dogs. My dad doesn't and a big lie.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
He would tell me when I was a.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Kid, is dead while I pet a dog.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
If I get the eye booger of a dog and
then rub it, then.
Speaker 14 (04:27):
Rub my eyes, I would see black and white forever,
or I would get like blind.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
So that's a big lie.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
See now we're just just completely making stuff up.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I've never heard anything even resembling that.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Never heard that. There was one of the lists about
sneezing with your eyes open, and I kind of was speculating,
I don't think you can sneeze with your eyes open.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I actually learned this in the college class ones.
Speaker 15 (04:52):
You physically can't sneeze with your eyes open because it's
a reflex that your eyes automatically close.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, I believe that well.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
I always was told that your heart skips a beat
when you sneeze, and I have sneezing jags in the morning,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
My heart skips a beat just regularly. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I have like an arrhythm.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Wasn't there a song my heart skips?
Speaker 11 (05:15):
There is?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think I have the same thing, which there's a
name for it. Really Yeah, because I had an e KG,
they thought something was wrong and they said it was that,
and it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Said it's no big deal, it's not Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
What pill.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Wasn't there something about warts?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Frogs?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Yeah, they came from frogs.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah, frogs.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
I used to have actually a reoccurring nightmare about swallowing
a watermelon seed and being rushed into the hospital because
my stomach was going to explode from the watermelon road
in my stomach.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I'm telling you, I was full of fear as a
kid when I heard these things. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Mine was swallowing gum, like never swallow gum.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah that it was really bad for you. It just
sits and the more that you you swallowed, the mall would.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Pile up and found proof to the controy right with
the gum swallow we had's a few days.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It's a few days that sits in your stomach and
then it passes through.
Speaker 13 (06:06):
Good morning, crew. 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. Have a good day, Oh,
my god, I.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Love that walking the beach.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Let's go to Selene. I think she's back online toele.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Hey Selene, Hi, good morning, Hey we got you give
us a good one.
Speaker 15 (06:40):
So when I was little, I was told if you
pick your nose and eight year boogers, it would make
worms grow.
Speaker 10 (06:46):
And ye.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Never heard that one, but.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Gross. Oh really yeah, what's he doing now?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Is in the host we're getting a worm remove.
Speaker 14 (07:03):
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 2 (07:19):
I still okay, my parents say, that's that's me my kids.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, well, it's about wasting food, it's having right, that
was sort of.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
The moral of but they wanted to guilt you. Right,
young children are starving in Africa. Yeah, you got to
eat those carrots.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Meanwhile, you know, unfortunately there's starving kids everywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Really, it's about food wasting.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (07:41):
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 be able to open
your mouth.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's a new one.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Yeah, that's a new one on me because most of
what we ate came out of a cane.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
True, yeah, true.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Morning Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh I think you're forgetting that.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
A lot of our children are listening to you guys
on buses and on car drives to school.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So thanks for blowing our cover.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Kis Ona.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Wait, it's the best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
I'm producer Riley. I'm going to be counting them down
for you. Let's get right into the number four a
moment because it's about that time of year.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
We have to talk Halloween.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Lisa, are you doing trick or treating this year?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
All right?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So Riley's fifteen, so he might head out with his friends.
But I'm not going to be going out like as
an adult, Okay, walking around with them, probably.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Not, mikey V. I'm assuming no.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
I might hand out candy at my house. I'm not
going to kids. I'm not going to walk around my cats.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah wow, I have good news for you both. Okay,
right here, how about this airheads? You know, airheads of candy,
giving people a chance to win a creepy decoy boy.
This is a legitimate thing, and they're telling people the
fake kid. The fake decoy boy is a way for
adults to go trick or treating and not get hounded
for being too old. So you can go around people's
(09:03):
houses and get candy with this fake child. It's like
a babe that goes like a carrot. It has a wagon.
It's a little boy in a wagon. Looks like Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's so creepy.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
It's so creepy, but it works for.
Speaker 16 (09:14):
Too long, getting older, it has been giving up the
joy of trick or treating.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Luckily, Airheads has a solution, the decoy boy.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Or treat Airheads please.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Oh I'm sorry, is this your child? Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (09:29):
The decoy boy is a humanoid rollbot with innovative candy
extracting technology that makes it socially acceptable for you to
go trick or treating.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Please place Airheads into my human hand.
Speaker 17 (09:41):
Can I have one more?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Please?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Please?
Speaker 16 (09:44):
Please? And in case of emergency, there's always tantrim boat.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh yay, is.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Somebody needs to give that marketing guy a race.
Speaker 18 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I was just gonna say, great marketing yeah, so obviously
it sounds like it's fake. It's actually a real thing.
You can go to the Airhead's website and enter to
win this decoy boy thing.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I have to tell you go to their instagram and
check it out because it looks so creepy, but it
does look real.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Yeah. Yeah. And by the way, like you know, we
do trick or treating every year. We spend some of
the time at the house, and there's always older people
that come, yeah candy by themselves. Yeah, like they're dressed up,
but they're clearly like nineteen or twenty.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, they older kids.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
What is the year that you stopped trick or treating?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Okay, so that depends on the kid, but it's usually
eighth grade, you know, like fourteen, thirteen, fourteen, they're sackage
out of it.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Yeah, I think I remember, like, yeah, probably that around
that time, or like freshman year in high school of
framing him. But like you started doing it for like fun,
because you and your friends, like you're excus get out
of the house and walk around the house and I
mean walk on the neighborhood with all.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Your friends exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, I can't remember. Well, there was an incident
when I was younger with trick or treating. I had
an older cousin that was like probably four or five
years older, and you know, he was into some trouble.
I wasn't there yet, and I had ad Jason Friday
the thirteenth mask my mom bought me and with fake blood,
and she asked me to go upstairs because my cousin
lived upstairs, and have him put the blood on. So
(11:14):
I went upstairs and he did, and then I went
out trick or treating. And so I was probably about
like nine or ten years old, and I remember all
night I was going up to doors and they were
looking at me weird, the people, and I didn't know why.
And so I get home and I walk in the house.
My mom looks at my mask and she's like, what
is on there?
Speaker 11 (11:31):
Now?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I can't say on the radio what he drew on
the forehead of the mask, but just the most offensive
thing in the entire world. And there I was trick
or treating, Like yeah, it was traumatized me. So I
never dressed up again after that.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Why do I see justin me one that like steals
all the kids candy.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Back in the day. Uh, Now, you know, I did
the whole like toilet paper thing. Yeah, you know, you
toilet paper like the tree in front of people's houses.
I did that stuff.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
Is it weird that when I see that now, if
I do see it, I'm like, oh, I'm happy that
kids are still doing something like that.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I mean, it's better than being in their house on
their phone fashion. Yeah, I'm just saying so. Yeah, it's
on a Friday this year, Halloween.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, that's good. This is a good This is going
to be a really good weekend.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Which is really good for the kids. Now, Lisa, I
know you live kind of on the main street, do you, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We never get trigger treaters.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Like our first year when we moved in, I had
all this candy and yeah, our driveways a long, and
we're on the other side of the street, so the
sidewalk is on the other is on the opposite side.
So yeah, so we like never get anyone.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I actually I'm the perfect spot of a dead end
called the sec. But we also don't.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
After you think about this the other day, is it simply
because families aren't having as many kids.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I think it's I think they go to neighborhoods now
where they can get the most bang for their buck.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's just that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So we like always go to like this other neighborhood
and it's like super easy to walk around.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
They can hit like two hundred houses.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
So what you're saying if you don't think that they
think that I'm going to give away the good candy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
I mean side bars, like upgrade you should be given
off full candy. Yeah, any upgrade you've made it.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
To a point exactly.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
That's another argument. Another debate too, is dropping the kids
off at different neighborhoods. Yeah, better neighborhood. They do it
in my neighborhood. In say New Hampshire they dropped the
kids off, which I'm fine with. Your neighborhood is a
winning it's a winning neighborhood for sure. But I see
people I've never seen in my life.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Well, we usually go to a neighborhood where we have friends,
so it's not like it's like the neighborhood we've never
been to.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But yeah, yeah it happens.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Well, I'm looking forward to Halloween. Had you go in
to Mikey's house for Halloween trick or treating? Like, what's
going on in that house. Come on, come on, hey,
I got a hot tub.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So what Billy Costa was in Africa? This week?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We made our good friend Mikey V from the v
Bros get up super early and hang.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Out with us.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's producer Riley. I'm counting down the top five moments
of the week with you. So yeah, Mikey sat in
with us and he would tell us stories off air
that just really had us thinking. He was telling us
about the weird job he had as a kid, and
we thought, you know what, that would make a great
topic time.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It's number three.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
The thing is with Mikey is you know he's multifaceted, right,
He's obviously on the radio, he DJs, he does real
estate on the side, like he does all so many
different things. Very successful guy, right. I actually look up
to Mikey in a lot of ways. Should but he's
kind of had a weird background of jobs. And so
you were telling me you've had several weird jobs if
(14:27):
you were younger. You want to highlight a couple of
those forums.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
I think it goes back that I'd do anything that
made money at one point. And you never believe this.
You know what a my gym is yes, like like gymnastics,
the little kids. There's one of Brute nine in framing him.
Where I grew up, I was a my gym teacher.
So if you had like your eight year old birthday
party and they can do a little fake backflip around
triangle foam, I'm like the teacher that's like, all right, Ben,
(14:51):
you're back.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And how did that happen?
Speaker 9 (14:53):
I think I randomly met the owner of my gym
when I was young, and she's like, oh, do you
want a job. I'm like, I'll think of job. And
then I started going there and I started working there.
I started like helping out kids. But I remember I
went to college to be a teacher, so I've always
liked being around kid that went to stoneholl College, all right,
and I studied math education, So like I always at
that point, and I probably thought I was gonna be
(15:13):
a teacher and I love that job.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
But I'm numeorous ones.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And weren't you like a football player too?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I played football high school.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
She had like the athletic part of it.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Wait a minute, hold on, hold on, hold on. So
your goal was to be a teacher, not work on
the radio. Yes, I've did that. Before. So I went
to college.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
I went to Stonehill College studied mathematics and secondary education,
and I went want to be a math teacher, and
like my dream was like a math teacher and then
maybe DJ to proms or like DJ like the after
school events, and then it kind of snowball a little.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
So you've always kind of been into the music and
the DJing always been since.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
I was like sixteen years old. Fifteen years old, I
was Djane.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
So my daughter is in gymnastics, she's almost she's three
and a half. So you're telling me that you were
one of the people at the gym that was helping
her do like the little tumbling pole vaulting.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
And could you imagine though Jema had mikey v as
a gymnastics teacher Mack in the day.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
That's crazy. Are you good at math?
Speaker 9 (16:05):
I'm very good at math, I mean really that's my
I'm not good at reading and writing.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Put to the teslas, it.
Speaker 19 (16:11):
Was a little early pimping for three girls. Price is
sixty five dollars for each trick? How many tricks will
each girl have to turn so Dwayne can pay for
his eight hundred dollars per day?
Speaker 9 (16:24):
I don't want to answer that you want to that
was calculus class.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
You also were a teacher too, Yeah, well I taught
Hebrew school.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
I guess both of those have to go around teaching,
which I originally wanted to do, and teachers like change
the world. But my mom uh still is a Hebrew
school teacher and a special ed preschool teacher. But when
I was younger, she was a Hebrewskol teacher at Benetaura
and Sudbury. So I was like her assistant Hebrew school teacher.
So that's what I did, like even like at the
end of high school and like throughout high school did that.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
And then she's also.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
A severely special ed teach, so she would I would
assist her in the summers when I was in college
as an assisant teacher.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
There too, interesting story, Yeah at least all right, I've.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Had some weird ones. So I cleaned condos in the Poconos. Yeah,
when I was pots Yeah crazy. Oh no, it was
the most disgusting job of all time. Like the way
people leave hotel rooms and condos is just like next
level the bathroom, just like exploding baby powder everywhere and
(17:28):
just really nasty stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So I have to say that was my worst job.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I've also been a lifeguard at a resort pool in
the Poconos, and I made muffins at a place in
Wellesley when I was in college.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It was a summer job.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I had to get up at five o'clock in the
morning and go in and make the muffins.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Those are three very different jobs. A lifeguard, a cleaner,
and a muffin.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I agreed, Yeah, I ended up like I ended up
while I turned twenty one and I didn't show up
one day and then he fired me.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I didn't make the muffin uff muffin guy.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, because it was like my twenty first birthday
and I went out with all my friends and I
forgot to tell them, and then I overslept and then
so there were no muffins.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
The town was an outbreak for breakfast. Oh there's nothing
like a blueberry muffin.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I have to tell you though, because I had like
the big mixers and stuff like that, and I was
making like morning glory muffins and all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And just oh, yeah, you were a disaster.
Speaker 16 (18:21):
You were known because one thing I'm known for, it's
my muffin.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I had a weird first job, so It's actually kind
of ironic because my first job I was basically a snitch,
which you know, if you know my story, I kind
of went down a darker road where that's obviously, you know,
not what you're supposed to do. Yeah, when I was
twelve years old, I looked older than I was, and
there was a family friend who worked for the health
(18:48):
department in a local city, and she asked my mom
if I would help out on the weekends. And basically
what she would do is drive me around to these
different stores in the city and me into the convenience
store and try to buy cigarettes. Oh oh, because eighteen. Yes,
when I was older, I looked kind of like sixteen,
maybe seventeen. So I would go in and I would say,
(19:11):
and I get to pack them al boroughs. And most
times they would say, let me see ID, but sometimes
they would sell them. And so then I'd walk out
with the cigarettes and hand them to this woman and
then she would go right in and write them a
little a citation and find them. So what if they say,
give me an idea what you're saying, Oh, I forgot it? Yeah,
I would say I don't have one, and I would
walk out. I'd say oh, sorry, I don't have it
and walk out.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
And then at that point in your life, did you
get it like excited when you like got them, when
they like let you buy cigarettes and you're like, oh
I got another one? Hre, do you feel guilty?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So it was like you were working undercover.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I guess so, yeah, And then you know, soon after that,
I turned to a life of crime, and I left
that part out though I didn't let people know that
part about me. But I didn't know. I wanted the money.
She paid me fifty bucks. That's a lot for a
twelve year old. Yeah, I paid fifty dollars a day
even if you caught her. I didn't catch them. Yeah,
so most times they wouldn't. But then some stores they
would sell them to me, which, you know, shame on them, Yeah,
(20:00):
shame on them. So wow, that's crazy. Yeah, we all
start somewhere, and we didn't just come in and you know,
start working on radio.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
No.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
At least I was in a snitch though, No snitches
that snitches get snitches get stitches, rats get bats.
Speaker 20 (20:13):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
That's when I own it, all right. That's the only
time I didn't know any better. I just wanted the
fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Wait, this is the top five moments of the week.
It's producer Riley and I am cutting them down for you.
Let's get right into number two. Earlier we were talking
about this topic time we had this week that was
sparked by mikey V in a weird job he had
when he was a kid.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What was it again?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Mikey V, who does afternoons here on Kiss went to wait,
very involved all over the city of Boston, was actually
a child gymnastics teacher. Like, how random is that? It
sounds attle.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Creepy when he said that way, It is random, but.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Yeah, it was. Actually that is weird how I said it. Sorry, hey,
gymnastics teacher for children at a place called my gym.
I think it's still.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
There on Grout nine right now for Eirmingham State University.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yeah, like across the stree there. But yeah, when I
was growing up, I got gymnastics there.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Okay, I love that you did that. It fits you.
Mike is like one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
You know what, I actually have not ever heard a
bad thing about Mikey and I'm being on He's crushing
a covering for Bill.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Good morning, team, Mikey.
Speaker 20 (21:11):
Just want to let you know that you are killing
it this week.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Us working in the afternoon, shout out to you.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
I know, I was picking up my son from the
Boys and Girls Club yesterday and I had you had
Kiss one and I'm listening to you and it was
like four thirty halfway through the show. Oh my god. Crazy.
So anyway, Yeah, weird random jobs you've had? Can you
beat Mikey's Give us a call six one seven nine
three one one one await or leave us a talk
back on the iired app. You can do that as well.
(21:38):
Let's go to Amy online one in Boston. What up Amy?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (21:42):
Hello, Hi, good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
What do you got Amy?
Speaker 20 (21:46):
So? I was a runner for Corn for three days
as they were kicking off their tour. The band around
the band, Yes, the band. I was driving around Dave
drummer and his bodyguard Lok, who had hell bound that
kind of goes along with tattoos that you guys had
(22:08):
the other day, hell bound on his neck and I
almost killed them the day.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
How did you get hooked up with them?
Speaker 20 (22:19):
I used to work in the hotel industry and I
worked a lot with the entertainment industry.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
And I just.
Speaker 20 (22:28):
I somehow got caught up in a lot of that stuff.
So I have a lot of a lot of good stories.
I got to watch the show. I got to watch
the show from from the stage that night, which was
totally the safest place in the venue.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Oh yeah, because of the mash pits at the show, right,
people running around smashing each other. Oh yeah, that's crazy.
Oh good one, Amy, Thank you so much for the call.
Will Corn no Corn show. I have not I actually
have really not going to mash pit, but it was
it was pretty.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Wild, was really ambitious.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
When I was a teen, I took on a random
job from Craigslist once where I ended up in a
car with this guy going to upstate New York to
actually replace computers at a school. I never went back,
but I definitely learned a good life lesson that time.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Okay, well, this segment is good because there likely are
people listening that are in a job like they don't
want to be in true you know, maybe they're just
starting out and they have dreams or maybe doing something different,
and this is like a lesson that you can do it.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Another auto one that I had too remember, circuit cities.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yeah, yeah, there was one right up the street here
just oh yeah, is that a best fine? I know
exactly where it is, but it's Axual the home depot.
But growing up there's one.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
Of natig I think it was a Route nine and
I installed car audio, so I remember that if you
came like popped in out your radio or watch new
speakers in your car, like remote car starters or like subwarfers.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Like I was a guy in the bay in the
back that.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Was installed in car audio, and I still remember on
my very like or one of my first days. I
was young until I was sixteen seventies, I was kind
of learning and going at the same time, but I
always knew a little bit about electrical work. At one point,
my boss, he was like a younger guy at that
point too, he was like, hey, go in the back,
we need a flex capacitor. And I didn't want to
say I didn't know what a fuck capacitor was. So
I'm on the back looking everywhere for a fuck capassador.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I can't find that. I can't find it. Obviously that
from Back to the Future.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
It's a fake thing. The hour I spent the hour
because you know, you don't want to meet your boss.
When you're young, you're like that, right, like, oh, I
should probably know what a fox I'm like, and there's
no like I can't google it. I'm less like looking
through every little speaker of like what what the fux capacitor?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
God? That reminds me. I used to work at Friendlies
as a as a line cook, and we used to
mess with new employees on the first day and we'd
send them back to get the sprinkle maker, so they'd
be down there looking in the back room and then
they come back to the I can't find the sprink
circuit city. It's funny. You used to used to install
car stereos and I used to steal them. Let's go,
(25:01):
let's go to Carry online. One's in town. Good morning Carry.
Speaker 18 (25:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I was.
Speaker 18 (25:05):
You know that show Undercover Boss, Well I was. I
was like an undercover client and I would go into
assisted living facilities and scope out the competition for other
assistant living facilities to try to get like the dirt
on what they were doing.
Speaker 17 (25:22):
It was actually pretty interesting.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I didn't know that this is a so competitive.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, who would hire you for that?
Speaker 20 (25:29):
I found it on Craigslist.
Speaker 18 (25:32):
I thought it was Yeah, I thought it was mystery
shopping is what it said. And I was like, all right,
I love to shop. And then when I get into it,
it was yeah, you'd go in and I had to
record them, and you know, they'd walk around and tour
you in the facility and you'd have to kind of
you know, like take notes and you know, and and
then get back to them on you know, just how
(25:54):
the facility looked, cleanliness, you know, whether the patient looked
like they were taken care of. It was just, yeah,
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It was weird.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Interesting about job that is, yeah, yeah, she was an undercover.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Interesting Well, Kerry, thank you for thank you for the call,
Thank you for joining the show. We appreciate it.
Speaker 21 (26:09):
My first job I lied about my age. I was
only twelve years old and I was a scorekeeper for bowling.
They used to have wax paper and wax pencils that
you keep score, so I kept score for a pro
bowling tour. I wanted to do a professional bowler till
(26:30):
I saw how they lived and that changed my career.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
I've that interesting gig. Yeah, what do you score with
this one? Okay?
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Strike.
Speaker 15 (26:42):
The best random job I ever had was in college
when I worked at the New York City Parks Department.
I was the one who wrote a lot of the
speeches when they opened things like the Highline Park.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I had a lot of good park jokes.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
He wrote the speech.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Oh that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I did a pretty smart well yeah, yeah, I guess.
So you don't want me writing your speech now, me neither,
although I did. I did take a class, a speech
writing class in college, and it was kind of I
got kind of good at it. Yeah. Still, that's a
that's a tough job. Let's go to Erica online one.
She's in Hopkinson. What up, Erica?
Speaker 18 (27:16):
Hey, how are you?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
We're wonderful. You got a random, weird job for us.
Speaker 22 (27:22):
Yes, I used to work at Putnam Pantry and dan
for standing now on Root one, yep, I know so
I had. If you ever saw a Easter bunny standing
on the side of Root one waving at you, that would.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Have been me.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Oh my god, you were the Easter bunny.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 22 (27:41):
But luckily no one could see me, so that was
a good part.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, it is that costume really hot right.
Speaker 22 (27:48):
End, And obviously I'm New England. When Easter fell, it
was either you were okay or you were sweating.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Right. That's like Pat the Patriot.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Whenever he goes anywhere, he's in that big costume.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
It's got to be so hot in those things. Oh
my god. Yeah, I always think about those people, like
the Santas every year, which, by the way, at the
Rockingham Mall which we go to every year, it's the
same guy every year. He's the nicest guy that plays Santa. Like,
what is Santa do with the rest of the year?
And god, well he prepares for the next Christmas. I
guess make all the gifts.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, all right, let's get right into the number one
moment of the week. It's producer rally on Kiss went, wait,
this is the best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
So Billy Costa was actually away this week. He was
on vacation in Africa. He was in Zimbabwe, surrounded by
a ton of animals, and he actually gave us a call.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Hopefully somebody was watching his back for like lions or something.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Let's head across the globe to Africa. Will we find
Uncle Bill Billy there?
Speaker 11 (28:48):
Yes, I swear there was must have been a problem
with the connection here in the bush But did you
say the Patriots beat the Bills?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Dude? They beat the Bills.
Speaker 18 (28:59):
Wow?
Speaker 11 (28:59):
Yeah, story.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I stayed up for the whole game. I'm so tired.
It was amazing.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
Wow. Did I hear mikey Vee's voice in the background.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I'm here and Billy, you being in Africa might be
good luck for the Patriots.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
You might have to stay now. Oh, he is a
bad luck chime.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
The mush is out of the country.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
To hear that. So what's up, dude?
Speaker 11 (29:19):
So how you doing, Honey?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
We're good. I'm filling in. I'm trying my best.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
So doing great.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
You missed a big weekend with Taylor Swift and the
new album and the movie and the parties.
Speaker 18 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
In fact, I know I'm here to talk about Africa,
and I will, But can we talk about what happened
with the Taylor thing over the weekend?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
How to go?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
The party was awesome?
Speaker 9 (29:39):
We were talking earlier, curious if you were here, would
you have been at the party?
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (29:45):
Definitely? Are you kidding me with you?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
And lie?
Speaker 11 (29:47):
Said Donovan, And maybe we would have had a ball.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
The mayor of the South End was there, Billy?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, the mayor of the South End showed up.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
I have to know, I heard a rumor that one
of the songs in the Taylor album talks about Travis's manhood.
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
It does? It's my and you know what, Billy, it's
my favorite song on the album.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Of course it is.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yeah, it's called Wood and it definitely is.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's so like Dancy and Fine.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I love it.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
So it's it's Travis now the new Bde.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Billy. His birthday was yesterday and his social media was
flooded with comments from women just gushing over.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
The song and there are so many memes about it
over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
Well that's why we call it Bde. Yeah, so I
cat to tell you this journey is really remarkable. You
have to understand. We flew from Boston to London, and
then London to Johannesburg, and then from Johannesburg to Harare, which,
by the way, is not only the capital of Zimbabwe,
but it's also Do you remember several weeks ago we
(30:54):
talked about that horrific fire at an elephant sanctuary in Africa. Yeah,
well we went to the actual place and spent a
lot of time there and uh and they were shouting
out our listeners for their donations, because they told me
our donations from our listeners really helped to provide the
food that will probably likely get them through the drought
(31:17):
in Africa.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, yeah, we had her on Roxy right. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
Roxy is such a special lady. What an incredible story.
But I have to tell you, so we were there
at the headquarters. So we're meeting all of these I
basically had a two night sleepover with elephants. Really when
they up in the morning with them, we had breakfast together,
we had lunch together, we put them to bed. Uh,
(31:48):
it really is an experience.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Now, Mikey, Mikey, this is this is Billy Costa was
talking about. I know you grew up in Boston listening
to this radio station. This is Billy Costa talking.
Speaker 11 (31:59):
Yeah, they weren't expected of me, would you Helen yet
it is insane. Well, you know what, We've talked a
lot about the expedition we come here with, and that's
Danaw and Emma, who have atles expeditions. They're the reason
we're here. I've got Danew sitting next to me. So
then now the headquarters at harare as well as the
one here in Victoria. Are we in Victoria Falls. We
(32:22):
are very close to Victoria Falls.
Speaker 17 (32:24):
We're in a place called Pandamasui Forest Reserve and this
is the release site for Zimbabwe Elephant or three wild
is Life. It is where they release the elephants part
of their rescue, rehabilitation and release program, getting these elephants
back into the wild where they belong.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Yeah, and you guys, you really have to live it
and experiences to believe it. It's like you see the
baby elephants, some of whom were abandoned in the wild,
not by their mom or whatever. Their mom may have
been taken or injured or approached, and they don't have
anywhere to go and they haven't eve been learned yet
how to survive in the wild. So when you're here,
you actually see how the being taught in some cases
(33:02):
a lot of cases by humans by the team here
at the headquarters, and how to eat, how to forage
for food, how to find food, how to survive in
the wild so that they can then be released back
into the wild and join the herd. So it's a
remarkable experience and it's an amazing thing to live down
here in Africa. So who's coming to Africa next?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Let me ask you this, right, So, yeah, I think
I would guess that one of the most special moments
of being on this trip with Michelle, your wife, and
this was her dream to go to Africa, is not
just enjoying it for yourself, but also seeing her reaction
and what it's doing for her.
Speaker 10 (33:37):
Right.
Speaker 11 (33:39):
Oh, I mean, you can't even imagine when you look
into her face and she cries an awful lot. She
has emotions over workers down here. I mean yesterday we
were when we were in Harari, and you have to understand,
we're sitting on the back porch of a home in
the center of this facility, and we're having cocktails and
glasses of wine, and the back yard it's just filled
(34:02):
with like giraffe and Debra and pacock and just wild
animals just roaming around living their best life because they've
been rescued and Michelle. I got a video I think
I posted it of Michelle literally standing with the several
giraffe feeding them and she could not believe what she
(34:23):
was doing. It was incredibly emotional.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Wow, Well that's going to do it for the best
of Billy and Lisa in the morning again, it's producer Riley.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
If you have a long weekend. I hope you enjoy.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
We are giving away tickets at seven ten and a
ten on Monday, so you might still want to set
your alarm, But for now, the Kiss Top thirty countdown
is coming up. Billy Costa is still in Africa, so
Justin and I actually filled in. We did our best
tough shoes to fill, so stick around on Kiss.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
One of wait
It's the best a billion Lisa in the morning on Wait,
happy Saturday. I hope you were enjoying this beautiful fall weather.
It's producer Riley.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm going to be.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Counting down the top five moments of the week with you.
So let's get right into number five. Because we were
talking about lies that your parents have told you. We
turned this into a topic time and Lisa kicked us
off with one that she remembered about Billy.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Lisa, what was it you used to come in and say.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
That you would tell your children when they were at
the circus with you that during intermission that the show
was over.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Oh yes, I remember this.
Speaker 6 (00:40):
Now come on, it's over. Yeah, you have no idea.
Speaker 7 (00:43):
You got to use 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.
Speaker 6 (00:55):
We get to beat the crowd.
Speaker 8 (00:57):
And I said, we can grab a souvenir before they
run out. It's on the way out, you know, I'd
definitely take them in the store, grabbed the souvenir, I said,
come on, we'll never get out of the parking lot.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
We get it hurried.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
They never knew. Yeah, never knew, never knew that it
was only half.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
There was there was a second half.
Speaker 6 (01:11):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
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 9 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
Yeah, because nothing's going to change in the second half.
Speaker 8 (01:24):
It's just more people skating around and animals skating around.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
That's true. Oh God, so many lives.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
The circus stays the same second half.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
I saw reel over the weekend and it was all
the lies your parents told you, and I checked every
single box. I believe all these were true.
Speaker 10 (01:41):
My parents, when we were young used to tell us
when they were eating lobsters that they were eating bugs,
so we wouldn't want them.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Wow, that's creative.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well, aren't they kind of like bugs crust vas see?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:57):
Yeah, No, they're.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Not the bugs of the sea.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, but I know what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
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 6 (02:09):
Yeah, prison, and then the galleys rowing the ships yes,
you know, the slaves.
Speaker 8 (02:14):
For lack of a better word, they would give them lobster,
and then lobster.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Became they're scavengers basically what it is now.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
Yeah, they are scavengers. Just keep in mind when you're
having the lobster. Everything they eat is off the is
off the bottom. Yes, they're bottom feet.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Er, they are. They are right.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Expense, it's odd when you think of it. Expensive body, oh.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
My, and they keep getting more and more expensive.
Speaker 11 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (02:37):
My mom always said that if you had the shower
of while it was thundering and lightning out, that you
would get struck by lightning. So I still, at twenty
eight years old, will not take a shower if there's
a storm.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
My parents used to tell me that.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I never heard that one. Yeah, and the pool was
a big one using water, right, well, yeah, wasting the water?
Speaker 6 (03:00):
What are you doing it?
Speaker 9 (03:01):
Yeah, you guys remember that.
Speaker 13 (03:03):
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 5 (03:10):
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. But one of them was about coffee, that
if you drink coffee as a kid, it will stunt
your growth.
Speaker 13 (03:22):
As a parent, I still use the coffee will stunt
your growth. My daddler's always trying to take a sip
in my coffee, and I told him he'd shrink down
like ant man if he takes a sip in my coffee,
and he still believes it.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
It's so crazy, like we teach our kids not to lie,
but then we kind of tell them lies.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
And there are so many more.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
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 5 (03:48):
Well, you just want your kids to listen and do
what do what you tell them to do, and when
they won't, you got to you gotta do what you
gotta do. Let's go to Selene online too.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
All right, Selene, you're online too.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Good morning.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Add to the list. Selene. Hello Selene, all right, Selene dropped.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Off like that name. That's a good name.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
That's a nice name.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
You don't meet a lot of Selene's, you know. Yeah, Selene,
we'll try to get you on the second. Sorry about that.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
So I love dogs. My dad doesn't and a big lie.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
He would tell me when I was a.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Kid, is dead while I pet a dog.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
If I get the eye booger of a dog and
then rub it, then.
Speaker 14 (04:27):
Rub my eyes, I would see black and white forever,
or I would get like blind.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
So that's a big lie.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
See now we're just just completely making stuff up.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I've never heard anything even resembling that.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Never heard that. There was one of the lists about
sneezing with your eyes open, and I kind of was speculating,
I don't think you can sneeze with your eyes open.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I actually learned this in the college class ones.
Speaker 15 (04:52):
You physically can't sneeze with your eyes open because it's
a reflex that your eyes automatically close.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, I believe that well.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
I always was told that your heart skips a beat
when you sneeze, and I have sneezing jags in the morning,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
My heart skips a beat just regularly. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I have like an arrhythm.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Wasn't there a song my heart skips?
Speaker 11 (05:15):
There is?
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think I have the same thing, which there's a
name for it. Really Yeah, because I had an e KG,
they thought something was wrong and they said it was that,
and it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Said it's no big deal, it's not Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
What pill.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Wasn't there something about warts?
Speaker 5 (05:31):
Frogs?
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Yeah, they came from frogs.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Yeah, frogs.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
I used to have actually a reoccurring nightmare about swallowing
a watermelon seed and being rushed into the hospital because
my stomach was going to explode from the watermelon road
in my stomach.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
I'm telling you, I was full of fear as a
kid when I heard these things. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Mine was swallowing gum, like never swallow gum.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Yeah that it was really bad for you. It just
sits and the more that you you swallowed, the mall would.
Speaker 8 (05:58):
Pile up and found proof to the controy right with
the gum swallow we had's a few days.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It's a few days that sits in your stomach and
then it passes through.
Speaker 13 (06:06):
Good morning, crew. 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. Have a good day, Oh,
my god, I.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Love that walking the beach.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
Let's go to Selene. I think she's back online toele.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Hey Selene, Hi, good morning, Hey we got you give
us a good one.
Speaker 15 (06:40):
So when I was little, I was told if you
pick your nose and eight year boogers, it would make
worms grow.
Speaker 10 (06:46):
And ye.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Never heard that one, but.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Gross. Oh really yeah, what's he doing now?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Is in the host we're getting a worm remove.
Speaker 14 (07:03):
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 2 (07:19):
I still okay, my parents say, that's that's me my kids.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, well, it's about wasting food, it's having right, that
was sort of.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
The moral of but they wanted to guilt you. Right,
young children are starving in Africa. Yeah, you got to
eat those carrots.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Meanwhile, you know, unfortunately there's starving kids everywhere.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Really, it's about food wasting.
Speaker 10 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (07:41):
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 be able to open
your mouth.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
That's a new one.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
Yeah, that's a new one on me because most of
what we ate came out of a cane.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
True, yeah, true.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Morning Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh I think you're forgetting that.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
A lot of our children are listening to you guys
on buses and on car drives to school.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
So thanks for blowing our cover.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Kis Ona.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Wait, it's the best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
I'm producer Riley. I'm going to be counting them down
for you. Let's get right into the number four a
moment because it's about that time of year.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
We have to talk Halloween.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Lisa, are you doing trick or treating this year?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
All right?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So Riley's fifteen, so he might head out with his friends.
But I'm not going to be going out like as
an adult, Okay, walking around with them, probably.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Not, mikey V. I'm assuming no.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
I might hand out candy at my house. I'm not
going to kids. I'm not going to walk around my cats.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Yeah wow, I have good news for you both. Okay,
right here, how about this airheads? You know, airheads of candy,
giving people a chance to win a creepy decoy boy.
This is a legitimate thing, and they're telling people the
fake kid. The fake decoy boy is a way for
adults to go trick or treating and not get hounded
for being too old. So you can go around people's
(09:03):
houses and get candy with this fake child. It's like
a babe that goes like a carrot. It has a wagon.
It's a little boy in a wagon. Looks like Frankenstein.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It's so creepy.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
It's so creepy, but it works for.
Speaker 16 (09:14):
Too long, getting older, it has been giving up the
joy of trick or treating.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Luckily, Airheads has a solution, the decoy boy.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Or treat Airheads please.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Oh I'm sorry, is this your child? Uh?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (09:29):
The decoy boy is a humanoid rollbot with innovative candy
extracting technology that makes it socially acceptable for you to
go trick or treating.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Please place Airheads into my human hand.
Speaker 17 (09:41):
Can I have one more?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Please?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Please?
Speaker 16 (09:44):
Please? And in case of emergency, there's always tantrim boat.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh yay, is.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Somebody needs to give that marketing guy a race.
Speaker 18 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
I was just gonna say, great marketing yeah, so obviously
it sounds like it's fake. It's actually a real thing.
You can go to the Airhead's website and enter to
win this decoy boy thing.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
I have to tell you go to their instagram and
check it out because it looks so creepy, but it
does look real.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Yeah. Yeah. And by the way, like you know, we
do trick or treating every year. We spend some of
the time at the house, and there's always older people
that come, yeah candy by themselves. Yeah, like they're dressed up,
but they're clearly like nineteen or twenty.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, they older kids.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
What is the year that you stopped trick or treating?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Okay, so that depends on the kid, but it's usually
eighth grade, you know, like fourteen, thirteen, fourteen, they're sackage
out of it.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Yeah, I think I remember, like, yeah, probably that around
that time, or like freshman year in high school of
framing him. But like you started doing it for like fun,
because you and your friends, like you're excus get out
of the house and walk around the house and I
mean walk on the neighborhood with all.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Your friends exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Yeah, yeah, I can't remember. Well, there was an incident
when I was younger with trick or treating. I had
an older cousin that was like probably four or five
years older, and you know, he was into some trouble.
I wasn't there yet, and I had ad Jason Friday
the thirteenth mask my mom bought me and with fake blood,
and she asked me to go upstairs because my cousin
lived upstairs, and have him put the blood on. So
(11:14):
I went upstairs and he did, and then I went
out trick or treating. And so I was probably about
like nine or ten years old, and I remember all
night I was going up to doors and they were
looking at me weird, the people, and I didn't know why.
And so I get home and I walk in the house.
My mom looks at my mask and she's like, what
is on there?
Speaker 11 (11:31):
Now?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I can't say on the radio what he drew on
the forehead of the mask, but just the most offensive
thing in the entire world. And there I was trick
or treating, Like yeah, it was traumatized me. So I
never dressed up again after that.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Why do I see justin me one that like steals
all the kids candy.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Back in the day. Uh, Now, you know, I did
the whole like toilet paper thing. Yeah, you know, you
toilet paper like the tree in front of people's houses.
I did that stuff.
Speaker 9 (11:57):
Is it weird that when I see that now, if
I do see it, I'm like, oh, I'm happy that
kids are still doing something like that.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
I mean, it's better than being in their house on
their phone fashion. Yeah, I'm just saying so. Yeah, it's
on a Friday this year, Halloween.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, that's good. This is a good This is going
to be a really good weekend.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Which is really good for the kids. Now, Lisa, I
know you live kind of on the main street, do you, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
We never get trigger treaters.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Like our first year when we moved in, I had
all this candy and yeah, our driveways a long, and
we're on the other side of the street, so the
sidewalk is on the other is on the opposite side.
So yeah, so we like never get anyone.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
I actually I'm the perfect spot of a dead end
called the sec. But we also don't.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
After you think about this the other day, is it simply
because families aren't having as many kids.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I think it's I think they go to neighborhoods now
where they can get the most bang for their buck.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
It's just that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
So we like always go to like this other neighborhood
and it's like super easy to walk around.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
They can hit like two hundred houses.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
So what you're saying if you don't think that they
think that I'm going to give away the good candy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
I mean side bars, like upgrade you should be given
off full candy. Yeah, any upgrade you've made it.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
To a point exactly.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
That's another argument. Another debate too, is dropping the kids
off at different neighborhoods. Yeah, better neighborhood. They do it
in my neighborhood. In say New Hampshire they dropped the
kids off, which I'm fine with. Your neighborhood is a
winning it's a winning neighborhood for sure. But I see
people I've never seen in my life.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Well, we usually go to a neighborhood where we have friends,
so it's not like it's like the neighborhood we've never
been to.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
But yeah, yeah it happens.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
Well, I'm looking forward to Halloween. Had you go in
to Mikey's house for Halloween trick or treating? Like, what's
going on in that house. Come on, come on, hey,
I got a hot tub.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
So what Billy Costa was in Africa? This week?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
We made our good friend Mikey V from the v
Bros get up super early and hang.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Out with us.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's producer Riley. I'm counting down the top five moments
of the week with you. So yeah, Mikey sat in
with us and he would tell us stories off air
that just really had us thinking. He was telling us
about the weird job he had as a kid, and
we thought, you know what, that would make a great
topic time.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It's number three.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
The thing is with Mikey is you know he's multifaceted, right,
He's obviously on the radio, he DJs, he does real
estate on the side, like he does all so many
different things. Very successful guy, right. I actually look up
to Mikey in a lot of ways. Should but he's
kind of had a weird background of jobs. And so
you were telling me you've had several weird jobs if
(14:27):
you were younger. You want to highlight a couple of
those forums.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
I think it goes back that I'd do anything that
made money at one point. And you never believe this.
You know what a my gym is yes, like like gymnastics,
the little kids. There's one of Brute nine in framing him.
Where I grew up, I was a my gym teacher.
So if you had like your eight year old birthday
party and they can do a little fake backflip around
triangle foam, I'm like the teacher that's like, all right, Ben,
(14:51):
you're back.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
And how did that happen?
Speaker 9 (14:53):
I think I randomly met the owner of my gym
when I was young, and she's like, oh, do you
want a job. I'm like, I'll think of job. And
then I started going there and I started working there.
I started like helping out kids. But I remember I
went to college to be a teacher, so I've always
liked being around kid that went to stoneholl College, all right,
and I studied math education, So like I always at
that point, and I probably thought I was gonna be
(15:13):
a teacher and I love that job.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
But I'm numeorous ones.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And weren't you like a football player too?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I played football high school.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
She had like the athletic part of it.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Wait a minute, hold on, hold on, hold on. So
your goal was to be a teacher, not work on
the radio. Yes, I've did that. Before. So I went
to college.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
I went to Stonehill College studied mathematics and secondary education,
and I went want to be a math teacher, and
like my dream was like a math teacher and then
maybe DJ to proms or like DJ like the after
school events, and then it kind of snowball a little.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
So you've always kind of been into the music and
the DJing always been since.
Speaker 9 (15:45):
I was like sixteen years old. Fifteen years old, I
was Djane.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
So my daughter is in gymnastics, she's almost she's three
and a half. So you're telling me that you were
one of the people at the gym that was helping
her do like the little tumbling pole vaulting.
Speaker 9 (15:59):
And could you imagine though Jema had mikey v as
a gymnastics teacher Mack in the day.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
That's crazy. Are you good at math?
Speaker 9 (16:05):
I'm very good at math, I mean really that's my
I'm not good at reading and writing.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Put to the teslas, it.
Speaker 19 (16:11):
Was a little early pimping for three girls. Price is
sixty five dollars for each trick? How many tricks will
each girl have to turn so Dwayne can pay for
his eight hundred dollars per day?
Speaker 9 (16:24):
I don't want to answer that you want to that
was calculus class.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
You also were a teacher too, Yeah, well I taught
Hebrew school.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
I guess both of those have to go around teaching,
which I originally wanted to do, and teachers like change
the world. But my mom uh still is a Hebrew
school teacher and a special ed preschool teacher. But when
I was younger, she was a Hebrewskol teacher at Benetaura
and Sudbury. So I was like her assistant Hebrew school teacher.
So that's what I did, like even like at the
end of high school and like throughout high school did that.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
And then she's also.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
A severely special ed teach, so she would I would
assist her in the summers when I was in college
as an assisant teacher.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
There too, interesting story, Yeah at least all right, I've.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Had some weird ones. So I cleaned condos in the Poconos. Yeah,
when I was pots Yeah crazy. Oh no, it was
the most disgusting job of all time. Like the way
people leave hotel rooms and condos is just like next
level the bathroom, just like exploding baby powder everywhere and
(17:28):
just really nasty stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
So I have to say that was my worst job.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
I've also been a lifeguard at a resort pool in
the Poconos, and I made muffins at a place in
Wellesley when I was in college.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It was a summer job.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I had to get up at five o'clock in the
morning and go in and make the muffins.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Those are three very different jobs. A lifeguard, a cleaner,
and a muffin.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
I agreed, Yeah, I ended up like I ended up
while I turned twenty one and I didn't show up
one day and then he fired me.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I didn't make the muffin uff muffin guy.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, because it was like my twenty first birthday
and I went out with all my friends and I
forgot to tell them, and then I overslept and then
so there were no muffins.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
The town was an outbreak for breakfast. Oh there's nothing
like a blueberry muffin.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
I have to tell you though, because I had like
the big mixers and stuff like that, and I was
making like morning glory muffins and all this stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And just oh, yeah, you were a disaster.
Speaker 16 (18:21):
You were known because one thing I'm known for, it's
my muffin.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I had a weird first job, so It's actually kind
of ironic because my first job I was basically a snitch,
which you know, if you know my story, I kind
of went down a darker road where that's obviously, you know,
not what you're supposed to do. Yeah, when I was
twelve years old, I looked older than I was, and
there was a family friend who worked for the health
(18:48):
department in a local city, and she asked my mom
if I would help out on the weekends. And basically
what she would do is drive me around to these
different stores in the city and me into the convenience
store and try to buy cigarettes. Oh oh, because eighteen. Yes,
when I was older, I looked kind of like sixteen,
maybe seventeen. So I would go in and I would say,
(19:11):
and I get to pack them al boroughs. And most
times they would say, let me see ID, but sometimes
they would sell them. And so then I'd walk out
with the cigarettes and hand them to this woman and
then she would go right in and write them a
little a citation and find them. So what if they say,
give me an idea what you're saying, Oh, I forgot it? Yeah,
I would say I don't have one, and I would
walk out. I'd say oh, sorry, I don't have it
and walk out.
Speaker 9 (19:29):
And then at that point in your life, did you
get it like excited when you like got them, when
they like let you buy cigarettes and you're like, oh
I got another one? Hre, do you feel guilty?
Speaker 2 (19:38):
So it was like you were working undercover.
Speaker 5 (19:40):
I guess so, yeah, And then you know, soon after that,
I turned to a life of crime, and I left
that part out though I didn't let people know that
part about me. But I didn't know. I wanted the money.
She paid me fifty bucks. That's a lot for a
twelve year old. Yeah, I paid fifty dollars a day
even if you caught her. I didn't catch them. Yeah,
so most times they wouldn't. But then some stores they
would sell them to me, which, you know, shame on them, Yeah,
(20:00):
shame on them. So wow, that's crazy. Yeah, we all
start somewhere, and we didn't just come in and you know,
start working on radio.
Speaker 10 (20:06):
No.
Speaker 9 (20:07):
At least I was in a snitch though, No snitches
that snitches get snitches get stitches, rats get bats.
Speaker 20 (20:13):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
That's when I own it, all right. That's the only
time I didn't know any better. I just wanted the
fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Guess what.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Wait, this is the top five moments of the week.
It's producer Riley and I am cutting them down for you.
Let's get right into number two. Earlier we were talking
about this topic time we had this week that was
sparked by mikey V in a weird job he had
when he was a kid.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What was it again?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Mikey V, who does afternoons here on Kiss went to wait,
very involved all over the city of Boston, was actually
a child gymnastics teacher. Like, how random is that? It
sounds attle.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Creepy when he said that way, It is random, but.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Yeah, it was. Actually that is weird how I said it. Sorry, hey,
gymnastics teacher for children at a place called my gym.
I think it's still.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
There on Grout nine right now for Eirmingham State University.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yeah, like across the stree there. But yeah, when I
was growing up, I got gymnastics there.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Okay, I love that you did that. It fits you.
Mike is like one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
You know what, I actually have not ever heard a
bad thing about Mikey and I'm being on He's crushing
a covering for Bill.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Good morning, team, Mikey.
Speaker 20 (21:11):
Just want to let you know that you are killing
it this week.
Speaker 6 (21:14):

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Oh?
Speaker 20 (21:42):
Hello, Hi, good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
What do you got Amy?
Speaker 20 (21:46):
So? I was a runner for Corn for three days
as they were kicking off their tour. The band around
the band, Yes, the band. I was driving around Dave
drummer and his bodyguard Lok, who had hell bound that
kind of goes along with tattoos that you guys had
(22:08):
the other day, hell bound on his neck and I
almost killed them the day.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
How did you get hooked up with them?
Speaker 20 (22:19):
I used to work in the hotel industry and I
worked a lot with the entertainment industry.
Speaker 12 (22:26):
And I just.
Speaker 20 (22:28):
I somehow got caught up in a lot of that stuff.
So I have a lot of a lot of good stories.
I got to watch the show. I got to watch
the show from from the stage that night, which was
totally the safest place in the venue.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Oh yeah, because of the mash pits at the show, right,
people running around smashing each other. Oh yeah, that's crazy.
Oh good one, Amy, Thank you so much for the call.
Will Corn no Corn show. I have not I actually
have really not going to mash pit, but it was
it was pretty.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Wild, was really ambitious.
Speaker 15 (23:01):
When I was a teen, I took on a random
job from Craigslist once where I ended up in a
car with this guy going to upstate New York to
actually replace computers at a school. I never went back,
but I definitely learned a good life lesson that time.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Okay, well, this segment is good because there likely are
people listening that are in a job like they don't
want to be in true you know, maybe they're just
starting out and they have dreams or maybe doing something different,
and this is like a lesson that you can do it.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Another auto one that I had too remember, circuit cities.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Yeah, yeah, there was one right up the street here
just oh yeah, is that a best fine? I know
exactly where it is, but it's Axual the home depot.
But growing up there's one.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
Of natig I think it was a Route nine and
I installed car audio, so I remember that if you
came like popped in out your radio or watch new
speakers in your car, like remote car starters or like subwarfers.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Like I was a guy in the bay in the
back that.
Speaker 9 (23:59):
Was installed in car audio, and I still remember on
my very like or one of my first days. I
was young until I was sixteen seventies, I was kind
of learning and going at the same time, but I
always knew a little bit about electrical work. At one point,
my boss, he was like a younger guy at that
point too, he was like, hey, go in the back,
we need a flex capacitor. And I didn't want to
say I didn't know what a fuck capacitor was. So
I'm on the back looking everywhere for a fuck capassador.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
I can't find that. I can't find it. Obviously that
from Back to the Future.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
It's a fake thing. The hour I spent the hour
because you know, you don't want to meet your boss.
When you're young, you're like that, right, like, oh, I
should probably know what a fox I'm like, and there's
no like I can't google it. I'm less like looking
through every little speaker of like what what the fux capacitor?
Speaker 5 (24:40):
God? That reminds me. I used to work at Friendlies
as a as a line cook, and we used to
mess with new employees on the first day and we'd
send them back to get the sprinkle maker, so they'd
be down there looking in the back room and then
they come back to the I can't find the sprink
circuit city. It's funny. You used to used to install
car stereos and I used to steal them. Let's go,
(25:01):
let's go to Carry online. One's in town. Good morning Carry.
Speaker 18 (25:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
I was.
Speaker 18 (25:05):
You know that show Undercover Boss, Well I was. I
was like an undercover client and I would go into
assisted living facilities and scope out the competition for other
assistant living facilities to try to get like the dirt
on what they were doing.
Speaker 17 (25:22):
It was actually pretty interesting.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I didn't know that this is a so competitive.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, who would hire you for that?
Speaker 20 (25:29):
I found it on Craigslist.
Speaker 18 (25:32):
I thought it was Yeah, I thought it was mystery
shopping is what it said. And I was like, all right,
I love to shop. And then when I get into it,
it was yeah, you'd go in and I had to
record them, and you know, they'd walk around and tour
you in the facility and you'd have to kind of
you know, like take notes and you know, and and
then get back to them on you know, just how
(25:54):
the facility looked, cleanliness, you know, whether the patient looked
like they were taken care of. It was just, yeah,
the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
It was weird.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Interesting about job that is, yeah, yeah, she was an undercover.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
Interesting Well, Kerry, thank you for thank you for the call,
Thank you for joining the show. We appreciate it.
Speaker 21 (26:09):
My first job I lied about my age. I was
only twelve years old and I was a scorekeeper for bowling.
They used to have wax paper and wax pencils that
you keep score, so I kept score for a pro
bowling tour. I wanted to do a professional bowler till
(26:30):
I saw how they lived and that changed my career.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
I've that interesting gig. Yeah, what do you score with
this one? Okay?
Speaker 11 (26:40):
Strike.
Speaker 15 (26:42):
The best random job I ever had was in college
when I worked at the New York City Parks Department.
I was the one who wrote a lot of the
speeches when they opened things like the Highline Park.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I had a lot of good park jokes.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
He wrote the speech.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Oh that's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I did a pretty smart well yeah, yeah, I guess.
So you don't want me writing your speech now, me neither,
although I did. I did take a class, a speech
writing class in college, and it was kind of I
got kind of good at it. Yeah. Still, that's a
that's a tough job. Let's go to Erica online one.
She's in Hopkinson. What up, Erica?
Speaker 18 (27:16):
Hey, how are you?
Speaker 5 (27:17):
We're wonderful. You got a random, weird job for us.
Speaker 22 (27:22):
Yes, I used to work at Putnam Pantry and dan
for standing now on Root one, yep, I know so
I had. If you ever saw a Easter bunny standing
on the side of Root one waving at you, that would.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Have been me.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Oh my god, you were the Easter bunny.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah that's awesome.
Speaker 22 (27:41):
But luckily no one could see me, so that was
a good part.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Yeah, it is that costume really hot right.
Speaker 22 (27:48):
End, And obviously I'm New England. When Easter fell, it
was either you were okay or you were sweating.
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Right. That's like Pat the Patriot.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Whenever he goes anywhere, he's in that big costume.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
It's got to be so hot in those things. Oh
my god. Yeah, I always think about those people, like
the Santas every year, which, by the way, at the
Rockingham Mall which we go to every year, it's the
same guy every year. He's the nicest guy that plays Santa. Like,
what is Santa do with the rest of the year?
And god, well he prepares for the next Christmas. I
guess make all the gifts.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Yeah, all right, let's get right into the number one
moment of the week. It's producer rally on Kiss went, wait,
this is the best of Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
So Billy Costa was actually away this week. He was
on vacation in Africa. He was in Zimbabwe, surrounded by
a ton of animals, and he actually gave us a call.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Hopefully somebody was watching his back for like lions or something.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Let's head across the globe to Africa. Will we find
Uncle Bill Billy there?
Speaker 11 (28:48):
Yes, I swear there was must have been a problem
with the connection here in the bush But did you
say the Patriots beat the Bills?
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Dude? They beat the Bills.
Speaker 18 (28:59):
Wow?
Speaker 11 (28:59):
Yeah, story.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I stayed up for the whole game. I'm so tired.
It was amazing.
Speaker 11 (29:04):
Wow. Did I hear mikey Vee's voice in the background.
Speaker 9 (29:08):
I'm here and Billy, you being in Africa might be
good luck for the Patriots.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
You might have to stay now. Oh, he is a
bad luck chime.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
The mush is out of the country.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
To hear that. So what's up, dude?
Speaker 11 (29:19):
So how you doing, Honey?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
We're good. I'm filling in. I'm trying my best.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
So doing great.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
You missed a big weekend with Taylor Swift and the
new album and the movie and the parties.
Speaker 18 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (29:31):
In fact, I know I'm here to talk about Africa,
and I will, But can we talk about what happened
with the Taylor thing over the weekend?
Speaker 4 (29:37):
How to go?
Speaker 5 (29:38):
The party was awesome?
Speaker 9 (29:39):
We were talking earlier, curious if you were here, would
you have been at the party?
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (29:45):
Definitely? Are you kidding me with you?
Speaker 10 (29:47):
And lie?
Speaker 11 (29:47):
Said Donovan, And maybe we would have had a ball.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
The mayor of the South End was there, Billy?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, the mayor of the South End showed up.
Speaker 11 (29:56):
I have to know, I heard a rumor that one
of the songs in the Taylor album talks about Travis's manhood.
Is that true?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
It does? It's my and you know what, Billy, it's
my favorite song on the album.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
Of course it is.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yeah, it's called Wood and it definitely is.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's so like Dancy and Fine.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
I love it.
Speaker 11 (30:18):
So it's it's Travis now the new Bde.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Billy. His birthday was yesterday and his social media was
flooded with comments from women just gushing over.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
The song and there are so many memes about it
over the weekend.
Speaker 11 (30:33):
Well that's why we call it Bde. Yeah, so I
cat to tell you this journey is really remarkable. You
have to understand. We flew from Boston to London, and
then London to Johannesburg, and then from Johannesburg to Harare, which,
by the way, is not only the capital of Zimbabwe,
but it's also Do you remember several weeks ago we
(30:54):
talked about that horrific fire at an elephant sanctuary in Africa. Yeah,
well we went to the actual place and spent a
lot of time there and uh and they were shouting
out our listeners for their donations, because they told me
our donations from our listeners really helped to provide the
food that will probably likely get them through the drought
(31:17):
in Africa.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Yeah, yeah, we had her on Roxy right. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:24):
Roxy is such a special lady. What an incredible story.
But I have to tell you, so we were there
at the headquarters. So we're meeting all of these I
basically had a two night sleepover with elephants. Really when
they up in the morning with them, we had breakfast together,
we had lunch together, we put them to bed. Uh,
(31:48):
it really is an experience.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Now, Mikey, Mikey, this is this is Billy Costa was
talking about. I know you grew up in Boston listening
to this radio station. This is Billy Costa talking.
Speaker 11 (31:59):
Yeah, they weren't expected of me, would you Helen yet
it is insane. Well, you know what, We've talked a
lot about the expedition we come here with, and that's
Danaw and Emma, who have atles expeditions. They're the reason
we're here. I've got Danew sitting next to me. So
then now the headquarters at harare as well as the
one here in Victoria. Are we in Victoria Falls. We
(32:22):
are very close to Victoria Falls.
Speaker 17 (32:24):
We're in a place called Pandamasui Forest Reserve and this
is the release site for Zimbabwe Elephant or three wild
is Life. It is where they release the elephants part
of their rescue, rehabilitation and release program, getting these elephants
back into the wild where they belong.
Speaker 11 (32:39):
Yeah, and you guys, you really have to live it
and experiences to believe it. It's like you see the
baby elephants, some of whom were abandoned in the wild,
not by their mom or whatever. Their mom may have
been taken or injured or approached, and they don't have
anywhere to go and they haven't eve been learned yet
how to survive in the wild. So when you're here,
you actually see how the being taught in some cases
(33:02):
a lot of cases by humans by the team here
at the headquarters, and how to eat, how to forage
for food, how to find food, how to survive in
the wild so that they can then be released back
into the wild and join the herd. So it's a
remarkable experience and it's an amazing thing to live down
here in Africa. So who's coming to Africa next?
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Let me ask you this, right, So, yeah, I think
I would guess that one of the most special moments
of being on this trip with Michelle, your wife, and
this was her dream to go to Africa, is not
just enjoying it for yourself, but also seeing her reaction
and what it's doing for her.
Speaker 10 (33:37):
Right.
Speaker 11 (33:39):
Oh, I mean, you can't even imagine when you look
into her face and she cries an awful lot. She
has emotions over workers down here. I mean yesterday we
were when we were in Harari, and you have to understand,
we're sitting on the back porch of a home in
the center of this facility, and we're having cocktails and
glasses of wine, and the back yard it's just filled
(34:02):
with like giraffe and Debra and pacock and just wild
animals just roaming around living their best life because they've
been rescued and Michelle. I got a video I think
I posted it of Michelle literally standing with the several
giraffe feeding them and she could not believe what she
(34:23):
was doing. It was incredibly emotional.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Wow, Well that's going to do it for the best
of Billy and Lisa in the morning again, it's producer Riley.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
If you have a long weekend. I hope you enjoy.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
We are giving away tickets at seven ten and a
ten on Monday, so you might still want to set
your alarm, But for now, the Kiss Top thirty countdown
is coming up. Billy Costa is still in Africa, so
Justin and I actually filled in. We did our best
tough shoes to fill, so stick around on Kiss.
