thank you to Lisa and Winnie and Riley and Mike
you butt last week. Okay, so Lisa and I split
Bill's duties. Yeah, okay, so I hosted and Lisa did
all the news and entertainment. And let me tell you, right, Lisa,
by the end of the week we felt like we
(01:00):
ran ten marathons.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, you do that every I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You do it.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
You've got a motor on you that I wish you
could sell it because I need it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I was exhausted first would come in the morning.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
How does he do this? He's like a machine. Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, you guys did it, and everybody tells me you
guys were amazing. So thank you to all of you
for sitting in again, you know, for the sake of
the listeners. And by the way, thank you the listeners.
I got a lot of comments, a lot of DMS
things like that, uh, talking about the stuff we were
posting from from Africa. Uh, So thank you for paying
attention and thank you for keeping on listening with everybody here.
(01:40):
But it was it wasn't at least that told me
it was going to be the trip of a lifetime.
You know, there were parts of me that were afraid
and didn't really know what to expect. But when I
tell you, it changed my life in so many ways.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Okay, Winnie and I called this before you laughed.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Oh my god, Dawn of Van. You don't understand, you
guys don't know.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
It's just because Justin's not in the room. It's mein
Lisa for probably three four months. Oh yeah, listening to this,
how he's gonna die and his wife must not love
him if she wants to bring him out to the
Safari and kill him. And I'll and he'll never be
the same, and he's gonna yeah, like yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
And then I and then I went on I went
on the Hides website and I'm like, this actually looks
really nice.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
The whole trip was great. You want to give you
want to give your speech, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I got to tell you something. It's very different over there.
And I was terrified of the animals, terrified of the atmosphere,
just everything sleeping, intense, and I loved it.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I really loved it.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The fact that you could sleep in the open, in
the bush with live animals roaming and you hear them
in the night, and it was comforting.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Eaten.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I did not get eaten, although you get a little
nervous because at our final camp it's called the Hide.
We were there for most of the trip, I think
four nights. Anytime you were leaving your your tent, you
had to let them know in advance, so a guy
would come with a rifle and a flashlight and escort
(03:26):
you just to the dining hall, so to speak. Well,
it was just a table, but it was really amazing,
I'm telling you. And the closeness, like I was within
two feet one foot of lions and at one point
deep in the great thing about trip and shout out
to Atlas one Expeditions because now we had them on
(03:47):
the show. His guides have permitting that most guides don't have,
so they're able to go deeper and deeper and into
places that other guides would either be arrested and jailed
or or fined for going to. And there was one point,
I think it was our final daytime safari, we went
deep into the borshit and at one point I was
(04:10):
surrounded by we counted seventeen lions like circling us, and
I'm thinking, are they up to something like is this
what I've been talking about animals rising? But it was
so peaceful, and you know, the cubs were there and
the mom lions and the daddy lions and well they
had just.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Had a kill, so they were well fed.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
They were lions for the most part, sleep all day
and hunt in the night. They own the night. The
lie that's what they tell you. Keep in mind the
lions and I'm here, I am in a tent, but yeah,
they sleep all day and then they head out on
the hunt at night.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Is there like some weird type of respect between the
animals and the people that are at these to some degree,
they don't bother you to some degree.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
But some are predators, others are prey, and they're always
it just seems like, you know, there's so many. I've
got a list of all the different species we saw
and were up close to and palas everywhere. We finally
saw a leopard on the final day. Some beautiful pictures
with the.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Leopard, like Towinny's point.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Was there any specific animal that the people that were
working at the hide always fear the most?
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Lion?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Really?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The lions?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Okay, so you won't see them.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
In fact, there's another credit to Deanal and his group
and Emma his partner, is with their permitting, you could
go a regular group on safari, no matter who they are,
they could go three, four, even five weeks never see
a lion. Wow, we saw lions almost every day, and
I told you at one point we that's seventeen of
them around us in a circle. That's scary.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That is scary. Yeah, you got lucky. Sounds like, well,
welcome back, Lion king.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
The Lion King has returned. So good to hear your
voice this morning. Welcome back, Billy.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We missed you.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
All your pictures looked amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Can't wait to hear all about it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, there was a problem at the airport last night.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
You want to do this now? You want to save
it for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I think we should save it. I will say one thing.
My wife Michelle came within seconds of a full anal
probe at the airport in line.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I say, was this before or after you got home?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And it was human error? She fell victim to human error.
And I know least.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
It was a struggle and that wasn't the only thing
that happened on the way back.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No, yeah, the flight home, okay, quickly, the travel home
and then we'll go where we need to go. Four
hour drive out of the bush the morning, that was
two days ago to get to the first airport. Two
hour wait at the airport, three hour flight to Johannesburg.
Five hour away to Johannesburg. Eleven hour flight Johannesburg, the London,
(06:54):
seven hour layover in London, seven hour flight London to Boston.
It's quite a journy. What time did you win last night.
We landed earlier than expected, but then when they lost
my luggage, I was stuck at the airport for two
or three extra hours. Thank you for that error. That's
(07:16):
a pain.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, I'm glad you told all the good stuff before
you got to the bat stuff. But I have no luggage.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Wow, it's in the bush somewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well, at least it happened on the way back, right.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, we have a lot to discuss this morning. There's
a lot going on on this Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Hey, we have a jackpot. The jingle Ball jack.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Parball jackpot returns seven to ten. That means you're shot
one hundred and eight thousand dollars in four front row
jingle Ball tickets. We did this last year and it's
backed by popular demands.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
We're given away to the store.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
And you have an entertainment report that you put together.
I think this morning, Bill, you ready a little jet lagged.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Burn?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh your face is peeling, get.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Togethers nostrils were on fire from the bush of dust.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
All right, Well, how about this cash is coming in
for jingle Ball sold out and Kesha has two brand
new songs that she might play at jingle Ball Entertainment's

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Get a Everybody just wants to welcome you back to
America from Africa. Bill. Everyone's excited to hear about your trip.
We'll do that throughout the show this morning.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
Good morning, guys, welcome back, Billy. I'm hoping you had
a great time. Africa is beautiful. I am from there.
Tell us all about it. I will be listening to it.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yep. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, and we did tell along the way. We did
a lot of posting videos and pictures and stories and everything.
One quick story, I'll say we went to an elephant
nursery that was one of our first tops. And a
lot of elephants are victimized by their predators and they
get injured and this organization goes out and gets them.
You know, half their trunk could have been chopped off
(09:43):
by a leopard or something, and so they bring them
into this really cool place and they rehab them and
they and they let them rewild when they're ready, and
they gradually take kick them out every day. And if
an elephant feels it's time they want to stay out
with the herd, they can. If not, they come back in. Yeah,
it's a great place.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Those are my favorite videos, the ones with the elephants
and the baby elephants. Yeah. Ba, So Bill had a
great trip and then on the way home they lost
his luggage.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh, Billy, don't worry about your luggage.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You're never gonna wear all that cocky again.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Anyway, now the entertainment updates with a Billy Copsta.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That's what I said. Yeah, you're lucky you didn't lose
it going.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Over my hat.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Stuff in the suitcase, like what kind of stuff?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, like gifts for all of you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, you didn't buy us anything.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
More importantly, you know it was in the luggage, my
top kit.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The lotions, O somebody that kit.
Speaker 3 (10:38):

jingle Ball, but you qualify for the grand prize and
the grand prize one hundred eight thousand dollars. Where's that
coming from?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Yeah, well it's a shot. Yeah, the chance at how
much dollars?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
That's amazing and four front row seats for the jingle Ball, which,
by the way, while I was gone, sold out in
about ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:13):

Memory was coming, so Meghan trainer Tate McCrae, the kid
LaRoy twenty one pilots, Kat's Eye, Kesha.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's an amazing show.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Speaking of Kesha, she's got a boon too. Oh yeah,
Benson Boone's huge. Kasha has got a remix with the
Charlie XCX. It's the song spring Breakers.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Again. She's gonna go Springers.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh I like that.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
No. I don't know if there's a connection, but I
did see the movie spring Breakers twice and it was
kind of an embarrassing moment, right, Joes, you with Selena.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
As soon as we let Billy hear the song this morning,
we said it's called spring Break, and he started going
off about the movie again. You might remember Selena Gomez
was in that movie. And then Selena Gomez came to
our I think it was a jingle ball several years ago,
years after she was in the movie, and so she's
there to, like, you know, talk about her new music
and new roles and all that. But Billy only wanted
to talk about spring Breakers. I saw spring Breakers twice,
(12:18):
Oh did you?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I don't know why. Don't ask me why? Well, you
know what, I'll tell you why, Because I saw it
because I wanted to see your work. Thanks, watched the
whole movie.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah, he did like ten minutes on spring Breakers.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
You know what's weird is that there's like a threesome.
She's like famous threesome and you're telling her you watched
it twice. Yeah, yeah, you're like, I watched it twice.
And she's thinking this old man, he's probably thinking about
me sexually because he saw me a threesome.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
She was horrified.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, he would kind of.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah. It was the creepiest interview.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I've ever done. She at one point, right least, she
started giving her like looking at her manager like, are
you gonna rescue me for it?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like, where's this going?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
It's worse that at the time, you asked Britney Spirits
if her boobs were fake.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Okay, that was a legitimate news story and I got
a lot of national attention for it and it was positive.
But anyway, back to spring Breakers, who's the actor that
I love and that's why I watched it James Franco, Yes,
Vanessa Hudgens.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah, the threesome of the Century, Billy.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Anyway, Kesha also dropped a holiday song. It's a cover
actually of the song Holiday Road from National Lampoon.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Okay, Well she's scaring up for jingle Ball.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah. Interesting song choice.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I didn't know that was the name of the song.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, Holiday Road.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I never knew the words.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I remember it.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Oh yeah, it's from National Lampoon's Vacation.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, not necessarily spring Breakers, but it's a great movie.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
So Saturday Night Live, I saw a couple of clips
from the other night. I tell you this season is hilarious.
Ariana grund Day was the guest home Stevie Nicks the
musical guest, and there was this hilarious skit. I haven't
seen the whole thing yet because I was away with
Ariana Grande and cast members doing kind of a take
(14:12):
on the song Espresso. And it's a bridal scene or something.
Speaker 4 (14:15):

You know I said this right before I took off
on the trip that he seems to me that recording
stars are having more fun than ever now. They're all
doing like fun projects and kind of laughing at each
other and laughing at themselves.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
I think this is a good time for music. Do

Her whole stage. She was like walking on it. She
had this it was led everywhere like.

This is the stage manager's issues.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
They're supposed to close the hole and somebody.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Lost her care extensions really get pulled out. I read
that somewhere. That must hurt though, Yeah she did.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, this was her show in Australia. I guess.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Okay, she sounded like she was in shock.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh yeah, I bet she.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Was so sore after the fact, right, Oh yeah, when
that happens, that's that's a free fall.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I don't know if any of you has ever had
a free fall. I don't care if it's just one.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Foot you fell in your engine room.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Seven feet into the engine room landing on metal. I'm
telling you, a free fall is so scary, the difference
you felt.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
No one was watching she fell, she had twenty thousand
people staring at her.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
You know who else fell? Darius Rutger during his show
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
He fell.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
It was in South Carolina. He hands like a champ.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Did he sound drunk? He was, Wow, he did not
sound like Jarius Rutgers.

No, Dudes on Dudes does not sound like a podcast, right.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Well, if that's the wow, you to get the joke. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, it's a drug season they're all scrambling for Yeah.
Terrified three hit theaters this weekend, taking in twenty three
million so far. Keep in mind it only costs two
million dollars to make this movie. During the premiere last week,
audience members were leaving vomiting from the extreme violence and
(19:11):
excessive gore, which begs the question, when are we going
as a field trip?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I'm not going.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I mean I'll watch it. I'll go as a I'll

We'll eat popcorn. We'll eat everything. Got to talk about
the Patriots, talk about Suckville. Word came down all the
way to Africa. How bad they are.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Did anyone feel hopeful with Drake May and.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
There it wasn't. It wasn't. There was a little bit
of holp. He threw three touchdown passes, he threw the
ball down the line, he moved around. I mean, you know,
I think there is hope. Did you watch the game
of course? Oh.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
My version of watching the game now was googling the
score every like fifteen twenty minutes and rolling my eyes
when they're down by thirty.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
We had to watch it because that it was Drake's
first game.

she won, you know, the front row tickets and she
almost won the money she want. She won money, you know,
not one hundred eighty thousand dollars, but you know it's
shot at that much. Yeah, but I remember a jingle

we were side stags looking at her, and I was like, oh,
there she is right there, right front row.
Speaker 3 (23:26):

Stage exactly in front row is huge, just if it's
a singular act. But you're talking about front row for
the incredible lineup at jingle Ball and four tickets too.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Old my god. Yeah, cong congratulations Jamie. Eight ten is
your next shot at the jackpodcam? Coming up? Next hot
topic in Massachusetts the election coming up? Question five? What's
gots it? Next? On Kiss Kiss?
Speaker 16 (27:10):
Question five is what we're talking about today, and it
would gradually increase the minimum wage for tipped workers. Critics
saying a yes vote will cause restaurant prices to dramatically increase,
Supporters saying.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's a matter of fair pay for all.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
M right.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
This is a hot topic.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It is. You see it all over a lot of
ads on this, Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I got to tell you one thing. Even while away
in another country, I was getting texts, I was getting
voicemail from a lot of restaurant owners and chefs friends
of mine, begging me to push no on question five.
I want to hear more from the people who think
it should be a yes.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
I mean, I see a lot of the no ads,
And we were talking about this off air, Winny and
I and we totally understand the voting no for it.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's the it's the people that want to vote yes.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yeah. So before we get started, so there are several
ballot questions. Yes, there's five of them on election day.
Other ones are like legalized magic mushrooms. But then what
bill that's all we need?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
No, it is legalizing psychedelic drugs.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, question realized psilocybin does have medicinal purposes, and they're
going to tax it of course and make money. Yeah.
But question five is to basically raise them in a
wage of servers to fifteen dollars an hour. They make
six dollars six seventy five. Now it would raise it
gradually by I think twenty twenty nine, it would get
up to fifteen, right head.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
And this already was passed in places like DC, Washington,
D C.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And Chicago.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
So yeah, so in before we talk about in DC,
this is what happened. There's two sides of what people think.
Some servers say they are getting paid more, they're still
getting tips in their job seems more reliable where people
that don't like it down there are saying that the
restaurants have higher prices, more service charges me, less staff
(28:55):
on the floor, changes to business operations, and they say
that people are more confused when it comes to tipping. Yeah,
you know, tipping less.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, a lot of people, which I could say, okay, well, Whennie,
you were a wait person for a long time, what
are your thoughts.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
I literally survived off of tips, and I worked here
for many years making you know, minoum wage when I
was coming up and I had to be a server
to pay for everything.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And I made way more money.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
And that in a tipping world than I think I
would if it was fifteen dollars an hour, because you
were sometimes if you had three, four or five tables,
and not to my ount of horn, I could handle
a big amount of tables. I could have six tables
at a time if they're each spending at least twenty
dollars that I'm making one twenty an hour.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
If I turn everybody, we should add that if this
does pass, that all tips that are received would then
be pulled. Yeah, everyone back of the hole in front
of me.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I hate pulling tips because some people are not Some
people are not as good as a server.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
As you are. Are they are not as knowledgeable or
they're not as quick.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
And I hated splitting tips because I knew I was
working twice as hard for me in that other person.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
So everyone was getting tipped fairly.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
So voting yes would make it more equitable. Is that
what they're going for if you vote yes.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
I don't know who what's more equitable for because I
can tell you right now, if I was paying double
or triple for my meal because I'm we're paying saluris,
I'm not tipping you twenty percent.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It would be more equitable for everybody in the restaurant.
The cooks would make more money. The back of the house, runners, dishwashers,
they would then get access to the tip that we're made.
I will say, yeah, hold on, hold on a second.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I will say, this is one of the most hotly
contested ballot questions I can remember here in Massachusetts.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Okay, but food runners get tipped out already from the server,
right the bartender get tippipped out from the server. And
I'm sorry, at the end of the day, you're not
paying servers fifteen dollars an hour. You can pay the
dishwasher and the line cooks more an hour. You can
give them twenty twenty five an hour. If you're not
paying fifteen dollars an hour per server when you have
way more servers than you do dishwashers.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yeah, I think that, you know, I think it's possible
to make more, even more money with the fifteen dollars
an hour and then the tips even pulled. But my
problem is, like what's happening in Washington. I think a
lot of people will be like, well, they're making more
money so I don't have to tip or tip less.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
And then there's the smaller restaurants who can't afford to
pay that much and may end up going out of business.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
I guess I always just base my tipping on the service, like,
if you want it, you want to take care of
your server, right.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
But at the same time, they're going to have to
charge you way more, right, And I'm sorry, I personally
I'm not going to tip you. Look, if I get
my nails done or a service where I know they're
making percentage of it or whatever, I do tip, you know,
fifteen to twenty percent, but I don't feel as bad
if I don't tip twenty percent.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I'll I'll give them ten percent today.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Because they were not breaking it and I know they're
making fifty dollars off the service.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yeah. I think if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Again, it is a hotly contested ballot question, which is
why it is the topic for topic time. And I
think everybody has an opinion on this. I mean, obviously,
if you work in the service industry, you've got an opinion,
and this is a great, great place to air your opinions.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah, and we also want to hear the other side too.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, fo Yeah, I want to hear that.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I want to hear that reasoning as well.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I need to hear more arguments for just to see
what they're thinking. And anyway, Topic timing is next. Six, one, seven, nine,
eight is the number to call because topic time is up. Next,
Let's go, what is.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
The topic today?
Speaker 17 (32:32):
We're going to be talking.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Billy and Lisa present Topic time.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Talk amongst yourself topic times, And we did talk amongst
ourselves a few minutes ago, and that in fact created
the topic time, which is question five. On the ballot, right, Lisa, exactly.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
So question five is a proposal to eliminate the tipped
minimum wage.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Is it a yes on question five or a no?
Unquestioned five? Most people that I've spoken to are all nos.
But we'll start with you, Christy. Christy, good morning, and
welcome to the show. What do you think question five?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Good morning? Well, where I come from, if servers make
between three and five hundred dollars a day or shift
and the kitchen staff makes that in an entire week,
so it's really unfair because they clean, prep, cook plate,
store all the food, and they work eight to ten hours,
(33:29):
where servers only work four to six hours. So I
feel like it's unfair and it should be made even
across the board. That's how they do it in Europe
and other countries and works. I mean, I've even suggested,
let's add a line on the bill tip the kitchen.
You know, they can tip the server and tip the kitchen,
but somehow, someway, they need to make it fair for
(33:50):
all the workers in the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Are you in the hospitality industry, Chrissy, I'm a chef.
Oh you are a chef? Okay, So you're yes on
question five.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
I feel yes because I've seen my staff really bust
bust it and then they you know, they're making fourteen
dollars an hour.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Yeah, but Christy, don't you feel like, because there's only
a couple of you, they could that your owner could
pay you an extra five six seven eight dollars an
hour to kind of help offset that.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
You would think that, but it doesn't happen, trust.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Me, especially.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yeah, a small restaurant, the.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Kitchens get used off all the time, and they do
most of the work. They really do.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Okay, Well, Chrissy, thank you for the doll that's why
you vote yes.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, here with Chrissy.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Okay, right away, we got a yes on five. Let's
go to Jeff next. Jeff, what do you think question
five on the ballot?
Speaker 8 (34:44):
Well, it's really great talking to you for the first time.
I've listened to Kiss one away since the first day
it launched, and I've met you a few times. I
think maybe the spin is Ola dinner years ago. But
I think you should vote. Know the woman that was
just speaking, the owner should kick out five six seven dollars.
Restaurants right now are outrageous. Anything that you add onto
that the owners are going to put into just increase
(35:07):
the price of the menu, the average dinner going out.
Now you're looking at it easily one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
People will stop going out.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Restaurants are dropping like flies right now. If you raise
that rate, the costs are going to go through the
roof and people stop going. Restaurants are going to keep closing.
So I think maybe minimal, you know, raise it a
few dollars, but you know, either that 'll pool all
the tips. If you're going to raise the servers, hey,
pool all the tips and then give that to the coach.
(35:35):
I mean, I've been a chef through chef, I've cooked
for forty years, I worked in multiple restaurants, I was
a consultant. It's a horrible idea to raise that. Restaurants
are just going to close. If they're not going to
make money, they're just going to close.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
That seems to be the biggest concern is that if
they went ahead with it, a lot of smaller restaurants
would have a tough time paying those.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Part of it is they would pull so any of
that if this passes, all the tips would get pulled. Yeah,
chefs and runners and of the house and somewhere and everybody.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I don't think anyone's going to tap.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
And by the way, Jeff, thank you for listening so long,
and now let's go go ahead.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Well, I wanted to say, they rolled this out in Portland, Maine,
and it doesn't sound like it's going well.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I'm just saying, hey, it's your girl, Sarah from Maine.
Speaker 11 (36:16):
And in Portland they raised the minimum wage I think,
up to like fifteen dollars an hour just in Portland,
and honestly, it's definitely been really hard for the restaurants
because they do have to increase prices so much and
they're just not making as much money, and businesses are
leaving Portland or they're closing. So I definitely don't think
(36:37):
that this is the best idea, and we're already seeing
it play out here in Portland.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Very interesting.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yeah, maybe they redo the question in some way. I
don't know, because on the yes voat I certainly understood
some of what they had to say. But it seems
like most people I've spoken to want no one question five.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Let's go to Matt next.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Matt, good morning, what are your.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Thoughts in the morning?
Speaker 13 (37:01):
So I work in the heating industry, so a little
bit different than the restaurant industry. But most people think
that they should they're obligated to tip, even though they're
spending an arm and a leg. Sometimes they just skill
their obligated tip. But then there are also the people
that like, they're spending a lot.
Speaker 8 (37:17):
Of money, so why should I tip?
Speaker 13 (37:18):
And I never see the in between. It's either they
feel like they need to tip or they don't feel
like they need to tip it off yeah, which.
Speaker 17 (37:26):
I don't see. There's other people that have worked in
the service industry that all they wanted a tip and
they feel like they should tip you, or someone who's
never worked in the heat or the service industry who's like, oh,
why would I tip you? Which I don't expect to tip.
But some people feel obligated to tip, whether they're spending
(37:47):
a lot of money or not. Yeah, it's just people's
It depends on people's mindset.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I personally think, yeah, And don't forget this ballot question
pretty much came on the heels of the whole tipping
gate thing. You remember that was huge for like months
and wait.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Am I supposed to tip my my HVAC.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
Was the thing I've never heard of that.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I've never done that.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
I've never I would if I just didn't know that
that was what you were supposed to do.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
That's another whole conversation too. Who do you tip? Who
do you not tip?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
But I was freaking out just like you guys, Like
when he was talking, I'm going, wait a minute, Should
I be tipping on top of the tat on top
of the bill for the service?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I love when they take venmo I have to say, Oh,
I hate that.
Speaker 7 (38:30):
No, why because I tipped way more than I would.
I know, but it's just like you're gonna have them
five dollars cheap of That's.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Why you're right. You do give more, but it's just easier.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I would be like, I don't got cash. Sorry, catch
you next time.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
All right, let's go back to the phones.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
This should be good. We have an anonymous caller. So,
good morning, anonymous. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Good morning on time listener. How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (38:55):
We're doing fine. What do you think question five? Yes
or no?
Speaker 18 (39:00):
I don't think they should raise the minimum wage for
them in Europe they all get minimum wage and if
you want to pay extra tips, you can pay tips.
I don't think it's right that businesses want to increase
all their costs and put it to us.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
I mean they're opening in business.
Speaker 18 (39:18):
That should be part of their overhead to pay their employees.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
All the companies do it. Why can't they do the same.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Good point?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
In fact, Lisa, it makes me think of you. Whenever
you've traveled abroad, you've always made a big deal out saying, hey,
there's no tipping here. It's all all anice.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
That's right, it's included.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
But as Americans, where we tip, so you end up tipping.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
That tip on top of the tips.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Sometimes you forget.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
But the thing about in Europe is though mostly that
lived there, do not tip. I remember I went to
London and we tipped the taxi driver and he literally
gave us money back. He was like, no, that is
way too much. However, we gave him on top like
he was like, no, take it back.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
I have to say, anytime we've done that, they've never
given it back time.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
No, he did, though he was good.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
I had I had appliances delivered recently and they did
a great job, no issues. And when they were leaving,
I said, I don't have any cash, but I'd like
to give you a tip. Do you take Venmo? And
he goes. I don't want the Venmo. All I want
is for you to go and call this number. I'll
go to this website and give me a good review.
Helped me very well. I think sometimes a review is
even worth more than the tip.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, okay, let's keep it going. Nicole, you're up next.
What do you think question five?
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Yes or no?
Speaker 5 (40:27):
I say no.
Speaker 14 (40:29):
I feel like it's going to make all the prices
go up. It's going to be harder. Like I like
to go on a couple of times a week, I'm
gonna like think about cooking at home if I have
to pay a little more.
Speaker 12 (40:38):
To go out.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
But I also love my servers and I know them,
and I want to tip Mary so much money, but
I don't want to tip out people I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yeah, I will say. Some of the restaurant owners I've
spoken to privately, they say, make no mistake about it,
prices will go up.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
I mean, you have to think the overhead for our
server is tripling because they're making five about five dollars
an hour now and they're gonna make fifteen.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
No, boy, that's gonna gradually go.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
I already gone up so much the average check.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Oh god, Uhilah, I like that name.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
How are you good? What have you got?
Speaker 3 (41:15):
On question five?
Speaker 9 (41:18):
So I am voting no. I have waitress and ten
bar my whole life. And I feel that since COVID,
the restaurants prices for food has gone up so much
and we're still getting the same food we got before
we had COVID, And if we raise the prices more,
(41:38):
it's just going to be outrageous. No one will even
go out to dinner. Also, the the tipping problem is
that everywhere you go you tip. You tip, when you
pick up a takeout, you tip, when you get gash,
you tip. Everybody's looking for a tip, and so people
are so anti tipping right now anyways that no one's
going to tip the service. And and I just think
(42:01):
it's too much money and no one wants to go
out to generate anymore. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, she makes a good point, a good point.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Okay, she just freaked me out. Am I supposed to
tip when I get gas?
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Dude, You're fine, You're a generous tipper.
Speaker 16 (42:14):
And he'd walk in the door and everybody who walked
the room just went wild.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
He'd give the dorman one hundred just for opening the door.
Speaker 16 (42:21):
He'd shoved hundreds in the pockets of the dealers and
all the guys that ran the game, and the bartender
got a hundred just for keeping the ice cubes cold.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
Crazy. We launched the jingle Ball Jackpot this past hour
at seven ten. We'll do it again at eight ten.
That is jingle Ball tickets. If your college twenty five

thank you to Lisa and Winnie and Riley and Mike
you butt last week. Okay, so Lisa and I split
Bill's duties. Yeah, okay, so I hosted and Lisa did
all the news and entertainment. And let me tell you, right, Lisa,
by the end of the week we felt like we
(01:00):
ran ten marathons.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, you do that every I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
You do it.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
You've got a motor on you that I wish you
could sell it because I need it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I was exhausted first would come in the morning.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
How does he do this? He's like a machine. Uh.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Well, you guys did it, and everybody tells me you
guys were amazing. So thank you to all of you
for sitting in again, you know, for the sake of
the listeners. And by the way, thank you the listeners.
I got a lot of comments, a lot of DMS
things like that, uh, talking about the stuff we were
posting from from Africa. Uh, So thank you for paying
attention and thank you for keeping on listening with everybody here.
(01:40):
But it was it wasn't at least that told me
it was going to be the trip of a lifetime.
You know, there were parts of me that were afraid
and didn't really know what to expect. But when I
tell you, it changed my life in so many ways.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Okay, Winnie and I called this before you laughed.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Oh my god, Dawn of Van. You don't understand, you
guys don't know.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
It's just because Justin's not in the room. It's mein
Lisa for probably three four months. Oh yeah, listening to this,
how he's gonna die and his wife must not love
him if she wants to bring him out to the
Safari and kill him. And I'll and he'll never be
the same, and he's gonna yeah, like yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
And then I and then I went on I went
on the Hides website and I'm like, this actually looks
really nice.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
The whole trip was great. You want to give you
want to give your speech, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I got to tell you something. It's very different over there.
And I was terrified of the animals, terrified of the atmosphere,
just everything sleeping, intense, and I loved it.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I really loved it.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
The fact that you could sleep in the open, in
the bush with live animals roaming and you hear them
in the night, and it was comforting.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Eaten.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I did not get eaten, although you get a little
nervous because at our final camp it's called the Hide.
We were there for most of the trip, I think
four nights. Anytime you were leaving your your tent, you
had to let them know in advance, so a guy
would come with a rifle and a flashlight and escort
(03:26):
you just to the dining hall, so to speak. Well,
it was just a table, but it was really amazing,
I'm telling you. And the closeness, like I was within
two feet one foot of lions and at one point
deep in the great thing about trip and shout out
to Atlas one Expeditions because now we had them on
(03:47):
the show. His guides have permitting that most guides don't have,
so they're able to go deeper and deeper and into
places that other guides would either be arrested and jailed
or or fined for going to. And there was one point,
I think it was our final daytime safari, we went
deep into the borshit and at one point I was
(04:10):
surrounded by we counted seventeen lions like circling us, and
I'm thinking, are they up to something like is this
what I've been talking about animals rising? But it was
so peaceful, and you know, the cubs were there and
the mom lions and the daddy lions and well they
had just.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Had a kill, so they were well fed.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
They were lions for the most part, sleep all day
and hunt in the night. They own the night. The
lie that's what they tell you. Keep in mind the
lions and I'm here, I am in a tent, but yeah,
they sleep all day and then they head out on
the hunt at night.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Is there like some weird type of respect between the
animals and the people that are at these to some degree,
they don't bother you to some degree.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
But some are predators, others are prey, and they're always
it just seems like, you know, there's so many. I've
got a list of all the different species we saw
and were up close to and palas everywhere. We finally
saw a leopard on the final day. Some beautiful pictures
with the.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Leopard, like Towinny's point.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
Was there any specific animal that the people that were
working at the hide always fear the most?
Speaker 8 (05:21):
Lion?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Really?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The lions?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Okay, so you won't see them.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
In fact, there's another credit to Deanal and his group
and Emma his partner, is with their permitting, you could
go a regular group on safari, no matter who they are,
they could go three, four, even five weeks never see
a lion. Wow, we saw lions almost every day, and
I told you at one point we that's seventeen of
them around us in a circle. That's scary.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
That is scary. Yeah, you got lucky. Sounds like, well,
welcome back, Lion king.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
The Lion King has returned. So good to hear your
voice this morning. Welcome back, Billy.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We missed you.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
All your pictures looked amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Can't wait to hear all about it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, there was a problem at the airport last night.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
You want to do this now? You want to save
it for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I think we should save it. I will say one thing.
My wife Michelle came within seconds of a full anal
probe at the airport in line.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I say, was this before or after you got home?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
And it was human error? She fell victim to human error.
And I know least.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
It was a struggle and that wasn't the only thing
that happened on the way back.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
No, yeah, the flight home, okay, quickly, the travel home
and then we'll go where we need to go. Four
hour drive out of the bush the morning, that was
two days ago to get to the first airport. Two
hour wait at the airport, three hour flight to Johannesburg.
Five hour away to Johannesburg. Eleven hour flight Johannesburg, the London,
(06:54):
seven hour layover in London, seven hour flight London to Boston.
It's quite a journy. What time did you win last night.
We landed earlier than expected, but then when they lost
my luggage, I was stuck at the airport for two
or three extra hours. Thank you for that error. That's
(07:16):
a pain.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, I'm glad you told all the good stuff before
you got to the bat stuff. But I have no luggage.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Wow, it's in the bush somewhere.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well, at least it happened on the way back, right.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah, we have a lot to discuss this morning. There's
a lot going on on this Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Hey, we have a jackpot. The jingle Ball jack.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Parball jackpot returns seven to ten. That means you're shot
one hundred and eight thousand dollars in four front row
jingle Ball tickets. We did this last year and it's
backed by popular demands.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
We're given away to the store.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
And you have an entertainment report that you put together.
I think this morning, Bill, you ready a little jet lagged.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Burn?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh your face is peeling, get.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Togethers nostrils were on fire from the bush of dust.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
All right, Well, how about this cash is coming in

America from Africa. Bill. Everyone's excited to hear about your trip.
We'll do that throughout the show this morning.
Speaker 10 (09:08):
Good morning, guys, welcome back, Billy. I'm hoping you had
a great time. Africa is beautiful. I am from there.
Tell us all about it. I will be listening to it.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yep. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah, and we did tell along the way. We did
a lot of posting videos and pictures and stories and everything.
One quick story, I'll say we went to an elephant
nursery that was one of our first tops. And a
lot of elephants are victimized by their predators and they
get injured and this organization goes out and gets them.
You know, half their trunk could have been chopped off
(09:43):
by a leopard or something, and so they bring them
into this really cool place and they rehab them and
they and they let them rewild when they're ready, and
they gradually take kick them out every day. And if
an elephant feels it's time they want to stay out
with the herd, they can. If not, they come back in. Yeah,
it's a great place.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Those are my favorite videos, the ones with the elephants
and the baby elephants. Yeah. Ba, So Bill had a
great trip and then on the way home they lost
his luggage.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Oh, Billy, don't worry about your luggage.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You're never gonna wear all that cocky again.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Anyway, now the entertainment updates with a Billy Copsta.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
That's what I said. Yeah, you're lucky you didn't lose
it going.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Over my hat.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Stuff in the suitcase, like what kind of stuff?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Well, like gifts for all of you.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh, you didn't buy us anything.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
More importantly, you know it was in the luggage, my
top kit.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
The lotions, O somebody that kit.
Speaker 3 (10:38):

Yeah, well it's a shot. Yeah, the chance at how
much dollars?
Speaker 3 (11:06):

It's an amazing show.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Speaking of Kesha, she's got a boon too. Oh yeah,
Benson Boone's huge. Kasha has got a remix with the
Charlie XCX. It's the song spring Breakers.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Again. She's gonna go Springers.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Oh I like that.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
No. I don't know if there's a connection, but I
did see the movie spring Breakers twice and it was
kind of an embarrassing moment, right, Joes, you with Selena.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
As soon as we let Billy hear the song this morning,
we said it's called spring Break, and he started going
off about the movie again. You might remember Selena Gomez
was in that movie. And then Selena Gomez came to
our I think it was a jingle ball several years ago,
years after she was in the movie, and so she's
there to, like, you know, talk about her new music
and new roles and all that. But Billy only wanted
to talk about spring Breakers. I saw spring Breakers twice,
(12:18):
Oh did you?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
I don't know why. Don't ask me why? Well, you
know what, I'll tell you why, Because I saw it
because I wanted to see your work. Thanks, watched the
whole movie.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Yeah, he did like ten minutes on spring Breakers.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
You know what's weird is that there's like a threesome.
She's like famous threesome and you're telling her you watched
it twice. Yeah, yeah, you're like, I watched it twice.
And she's thinking this old man, he's probably thinking about
me sexually because he saw me a threesome.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
She was horrified.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, he would kind of.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah. It was the creepiest interview.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
I've ever done. She at one point, right least, she
started giving her like looking at her manager like, are
you gonna rescue me for it?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like, where's this going?
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
It's worse that at the time, you asked Britney Spirits
if her boobs were fake.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Okay, that was a legitimate news story and I got
a lot of national attention for it and it was positive.
But anyway, back to spring Breakers, who's the actor that
I love and that's why I watched it James Franco, Yes,
Vanessa Hudgens.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Yeah, the threesome of the Century, Billy.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Anyway, Kesha also dropped a holiday song. It's a cover
actually of the song Holiday Road from National Lampoon.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Okay, Well she's scaring up for jingle Ball.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Yeah. Interesting song choice.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I didn't know that was the name of the song.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, Holiday Road.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I never knew the words.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I remember it.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Oh yeah, it's from National Lampoon's Vacation.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, not necessarily spring Breakers, but it's a great movie.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
So Saturday Night Live, I saw a couple of clips
from the other night. I tell you this season is hilarious.
Ariana grund Day was the guest home Stevie Nicks the
musical guest, and there was this hilarious skit. I haven't
seen the whole thing yet because I was away with
Ariana Grande and cast members doing kind of a take

other and laughing at themselves.

Her whole stage. She was like walking on it. She
had this it was led everywhere like.

Oh wow, I love that song.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Okay, how about Olivia Rodrigo. She fell through a hole
in This is happening a lot lately.

This is the stage manager's issues.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
They're supposed to close the hole and somebody.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, this was her show in Australia. I guess.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Okay, she sounded like she was in shock.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Oh yeah, I bet she.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Was so sore after the fact, right, Oh yeah, when
that happens, that's that's a free fall.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
I don't know if any of you has ever had
a free fall. I don't care if it's just one.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Foot you fell in your engine room.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Seven feet into the engine room landing on metal. I'm
telling you, a free fall is so scary, the difference
you felt.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
No one was watching she fell, she had twenty thousand
people staring at her.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
You know who else fell? Darius Rutger during his show
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
He fell.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
It was in South Carolina. He hands like a champ.
Speaker 1 (17:07):

Okay, do they look malnourished a little bit?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Well, it's a drug season they're all scrambling for Yeah.
Terrified three hit theaters this weekend, taking in twenty three
million so far. Keep in mind it only costs two
million dollars to make this movie. During the premiere last week,
audience members were leaving vomiting from the extreme violence and
(19:11):
excessive gore, which begs the question, when are we going
as a field trip?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I'm not going.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I mean I'll watch it. I'll go as a I'll
go as a show and watch it. It's supposed to
be ridiculously gory.

way to Africa. How bad they are.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Did anyone feel hopeful with Drake May and.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
There it wasn't. It wasn't. There was a little bit
of holp. He threw three touchdown passes, he threw the
ball down the line, he moved around. I mean, you know,
I think there is hope. Did you watch the game
of course? Oh.
Speaker 7 (20:11):
My version of watching the game now was googling the
score every like fifteen twenty minutes and rolling my eyes
when they're down by thirty.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
We had to watch it because that it was Drake's
first game.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Nah, you know, I watch all the other games now.
By the way, your Patriots are in London this weekend
with the Jaguars. Oh, maybe they could pick up my luggage.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Well, the Jaguars are there, the other worst team in
the NFL, so they're gonna get a win.
Speaker 7 (20:34):
It's gonna be if they don't win, this game is
a bigger problem.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
We're brought to you by Dover rug and Home More rugs,

better to buy them at Dover rug Natick, Boston and
Burlington and there you go.

she won, you know, the front row tickets and she
almost won the money she want. She won money, you know,
not one hundred eighty thousand dollars, but you know it's
shot at that much. Yeah, but I remember a jingle

we were side stags looking at her, and I was like, oh,
there she is right there, right front row.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:27):

Stage exactly in front row is huge, just if it's
a singular act. But you're talking about front row for
the incredible lineup at jingle Ball and four tickets too.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Old my god. Yeah, cong congratulations Jamie. Eight ten is
your next shot at the jackpodcam? Coming up? Next hot
topic in Massachusetts the election coming up? Question five? What's
gots it? Next? On Kiss Kiss?
Speaker 16 (27:10):
Question five is what we're talking about today, and it
would gradually increase the minimum wage for tipped workers. Critics
saying a yes vote will cause restaurant prices to dramatically increase,
Supporters saying.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's a matter of fair pay for all.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
M right.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
This is a hot topic.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
It is. You see it all over a lot of
ads on this, Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
I got to tell you one thing. Even while away
in another country, I was getting texts, I was getting
voicemail from a lot of restaurant owners and chefs friends
of mine, begging me to push no on question five.
I want to hear more from the people who think
it should be a yes.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
I mean, I see a lot of the no ads,
And we were talking about this off air, Winny and
I and we totally understand the voting no for it.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It's the it's the people that want to vote yes.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Yeah. So before we get started, so there are several
ballot questions. Yes, there's five of them on election day.
Other ones are like legalized magic mushrooms. But then what
bill that's all we need?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
No, it is legalizing psychedelic drugs.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Yeah, question realized psilocybin does have medicinal purposes, and they're
going to tax it of course and make money. Yeah.
But question five is to basically raise them in a
wage of servers to fifteen dollars an hour. They make
six dollars six seventy five. Now it would raise it
gradually by I think twenty twenty nine, it would get
up to fifteen, right head.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
And this already was passed in places like DC, Washington,
D C.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And Chicago.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
So yeah, so in before we talk about in DC,
this is what happened. There's two sides of what people think.
Some servers say they are getting paid more, they're still
getting tips in their job seems more reliable where people
that don't like it down there are saying that the
restaurants have higher prices, more service charges me, less staff
(28:55):
on the floor, changes to business operations, and they say
that people are more confused when it comes to tipping. Yeah,
you know, tipping less.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, a lot of people, which I could say, okay, well, Whennie,
you were a wait person for a long time, what
are your thoughts.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
I literally survived off of tips, and I worked here
for many years making you know, minoum wage when I
was coming up and I had to be a server
to pay for everything.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And I made way more money.
Speaker 7 (29:24):
And that in a tipping world than I think I
would if it was fifteen dollars an hour, because you
were sometimes if you had three, four or five tables,
and not to my ount of horn, I could handle
a big amount of tables. I could have six tables
at a time if they're each spending at least twenty
dollars that I'm making one twenty an hour.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
If I turn everybody, we should add that if this
does pass, that all tips that are received would then
be pulled. Yeah, everyone back of the hole in front
of me.
Speaker 7 (29:47):
I hate pulling tips because some people are not Some
people are not as good as a server.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
As you are. Are they are not as knowledgeable or
they're not as quick.
Speaker 7 (29:55):
And I hated splitting tips because I knew I was
working twice as hard for me in that other person.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
So everyone was getting tipped fairly.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
So voting yes would make it more equitable. Is that
what they're going for if you vote yes.
Speaker 7 (30:07):
I don't know who what's more equitable for because I
can tell you right now, if I was paying double
or triple for my meal because I'm we're paying saluris,
I'm not tipping you twenty percent.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It would be more equitable for everybody in the restaurant.
The cooks would make more money. The back of the house, runners, dishwashers,
they would then get access to the tip that we're made.
I will say, yeah, hold on, hold on a second.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I will say, this is one of the most hotly
contested ballot questions I can remember here in Massachusetts.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Okay, but food runners get tipped out already from the server,
right the bartender get tippipped out from the server. And
I'm sorry, at the end of the day, you're not
paying servers fifteen dollars an hour. You can pay the
dishwasher and the line cooks more an hour. You can
give them twenty twenty five an hour. If you're not
paying fifteen dollars an hour per server when you have
way more servers than you do dishwashers.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Yeah, I think that, you know, I think it's possible
to make more, even more money with the fifteen dollars
an hour and then the tips even pulled. But my
problem is, like what's happening in Washington. I think a
lot of people will be like, well, they're making more
money so I don't have to tip or tip less.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
And then there's the smaller restaurants who can't afford to
pay that much and may end up going out of business.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
I guess I always just base my tipping on the service, like,
if you want it, you want to take care of
your server, right.
Speaker 7 (31:24):
But at the same time, they're going to have to
charge you way more, right, And I'm sorry, I personally
I'm not going to tip you. Look, if I get
my nails done or a service where I know they're
making percentage of it or whatever, I do tip, you know,
fifteen to twenty percent, but I don't feel as bad
if I don't tip twenty percent.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
I'll I'll give them ten percent today.
Speaker 7 (31:42):
Because they were not breaking it and I know they're
making fifty dollars off the service.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yeah. I think if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Yeah,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Again, it is a hotly contested ballot question, which is
why it is the topic for topic time. And I
think everybody has an opinion on this. I mean, obviously,
if you work in the service industry, you've got an opinion,
and this is a great, great place to air your opinions.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah, and we also want to hear the other side too.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Yeah, fo Yeah, I want to hear that.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I want to hear that reasoning as well.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
I need to hear more arguments for just to see
what they're thinking. And anyway, Topic timing is next. Six, one, seven, nine,
eight is the number to call because topic time is up. Next,
Let's go, what is.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
The topic today?
Speaker 17 (32:32):
We're going to be talking.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Billy and Lisa present Topic time.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Talk amongst yourself topic times, And we did talk amongst
ourselves a few minutes ago, and that in fact created
the topic time, which is question five. On the ballot, right, Lisa, exactly.
Speaker 6 (32:49):
So question five is a proposal to eliminate the tipped
minimum wage.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Is it a yes on question five or a no?
Unquestioned five? Most people that I've spoken to are all nos.
But we'll start with you, Christy. Christy, good morning, and
welcome to the show. What do you think question five?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Good morning? Well, where I come from, if servers make
between three and five hundred dollars a day or shift
and the kitchen staff makes that in an entire week,
so it's really unfair because they clean, prep, cook plate,
store all the food, and they work eight to ten hours,
(33:29):
where servers only work four to six hours. So I
feel like it's unfair and it should be made even
across the board. That's how they do it in Europe
and other countries and works. I mean, I've even suggested,
let's add a line on the bill tip the kitchen.
You know, they can tip the server and tip the kitchen,
but somehow, someway, they need to make it fair for
(33:50):
all the workers in the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Are you in the hospitality industry, Chrissy, I'm a chef.
Oh you are a chef? Okay, So you're yes on
question five.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
I feel yes because I've seen my staff really bust
bust it and then they you know, they're making fourteen
dollars an hour.
Speaker 7 (34:09):
Yeah, but Christy, don't you feel like, because there's only
a couple of you, they could that your owner could
pay you an extra five six seven eight dollars an
hour to kind of help offset that.
Speaker 5 (34:19):
You would think that, but it doesn't happen, trust.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Me, especially.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yeah, a small restaurant, the.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Kitchens get used off all the time, and they do
most of the work. They really do.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Okay, Well, Chrissy, thank you for the doll that's why
you vote yes.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, here with Chrissy.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Okay, right away, we got a yes on five. Let's
go to Jeff next. Jeff, what do you think question
five on the ballot?
Speaker 8 (34:44):
Well, it's really great talking to you for the first time.
I've listened to Kiss one away since the first day
it launched, and I've met you a few times. I
think maybe the spin is Ola dinner years ago. But
I think you should vote. Know the woman that was
just speaking, the owner should kick out five six seven dollars.
Restaurants right now are outrageous. Anything that you add onto
that the owners are going to put into just increase
(35:07):
the price of the menu, the average dinner going out.
Now you're looking at it easily one hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
People will stop going out.
Speaker 8 (35:15):
Restaurants are dropping like flies right now. If you raise
that rate, the costs are going to go through the
roof and people stop going. Restaurants are going to keep closing.
So I think maybe minimal, you know, raise it a
few dollars, but you know, either that 'll pool all
the tips. If you're going to raise the servers, hey,
pool all the tips and then give that to the coach.
(35:35):
I mean, I've been a chef through chef, I've cooked
for forty years, I worked in multiple restaurants, I was
a consultant. It's a horrible idea to raise that. Restaurants
are just going to close. If they're not going to
make money, they're just going to close.
Speaker 3 (35:46):
That seems to be the biggest concern is that if
they went ahead with it, a lot of smaller restaurants
would have a tough time paying those.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
Part of it is they would pull so any of
that if this passes, all the tips would get pulled. Yeah,
chefs and runners and of the house and somewhere and everybody.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
I don't think anyone's going to tap.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
And by the way, Jeff, thank you for listening so long,
and now let's go go ahead.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Well, I wanted to say, they rolled this out in Portland, Maine,
and it doesn't sound like it's going well.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
I'm just saying, hey, it's your girl, Sarah from Maine.
Speaker 11 (36:16):
And in Portland they raised the minimum wage I think,
up to like fifteen dollars an hour just in Portland,
and honestly, it's definitely been really hard for the restaurants
because they do have to increase prices so much and
they're just not making as much money, and businesses are
leaving Portland or they're closing. So I definitely don't think
(36:37):
that this is the best idea, and we're already seeing
it play out here in Portland.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Very interesting.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yeah, maybe they redo the question in some way. I
don't know, because on the yes voat I certainly understood
some of what they had to say. But it seems
like most people I've spoken to want no one question five.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Let's go to Matt next.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Matt, good morning, what are your.
Speaker 8 (36:58):
Thoughts in the morning?
Speaker 13 (37:01):
So I work in the heating industry, so a little
bit different than the restaurant industry. But most people think
that they should they're obligated to tip, even though they're
spending an arm and a leg. Sometimes they just skill
their obligated tip. But then there are also the people
that like, they're spending a lot.
Speaker 8 (37:17):
Of money, so why should I tip?
Speaker 13 (37:18):
And I never see the in between. It's either they
feel like they need to tip or they don't feel
like they need to tip it off yeah, which.
Speaker 17 (37:26):
I don't see. There's other people that have worked in
the service industry that all they wanted a tip and
they feel like they should tip you, or someone who's
never worked in the heat or the service industry who's like, oh,
why would I tip you? Which I don't expect to tip.
But some people feel obligated to tip, whether they're spending
(37:47):
a lot of money or not. Yeah, it's just people's
It depends on people's mindset.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
I personally think, yeah, And don't forget this ballot question
pretty much came on the heels of the whole tipping
gate thing. You remember that was huge for like months
and wait.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Am I supposed to tip my my HVAC.
Speaker 6 (38:03):
Was the thing I've never heard of that.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
I've never done that.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
I've never I would if I just didn't know that
that was what you were supposed to do.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
That's another whole conversation too. Who do you tip? Who
do you not tip?
Speaker 3 (38:17):
But I was freaking out just like you guys, Like
when he was talking, I'm going, wait a minute, Should
I be tipping on top of the tat on top
of the bill for the service?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:27):
I love when they take venmo I have to say, Oh,
I hate that.
Speaker 7 (38:30):
No, why because I tipped way more than I would.
I know, but it's just like you're gonna have them
five dollars cheap of That's.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Why you're right. You do give more, but it's just easier.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
I would be like, I don't got cash. Sorry, catch
you next time.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
All right, let's go back to the phones.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
This should be good. We have an anonymous caller. So,
good morning, anonymous. What do you think?
Speaker 5 (38:51):
Good morning on time listener. How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (38:55):
We're doing fine. What do you think question five? Yes
or no?
Speaker 18 (39:00):
I don't think they should raise the minimum wage for
them in Europe they all get minimum wage and if
you want to pay extra tips, you can pay tips.
I don't think it's right that businesses want to increase
all their costs and put it to us.
Speaker 5 (39:16):
I mean they're opening in business.
Speaker 18 (39:18):
That should be part of their overhead to pay their employees.
Speaker 14 (39:22):
All the companies do it. Why can't they do the same.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Good point?
Speaker 3 (39:27):
In fact, Lisa, it makes me think of you. Whenever
you've traveled abroad, you've always made a big deal out saying, hey,
there's no tipping here. It's all all anice.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
That's right, it's included.
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
But as Americans, where we tip, so you end up tipping.
Speaker 4 (39:39):
That tip on top of the tips.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Sometimes you forget.
Speaker 7 (39:42):
But the thing about in Europe is though mostly that
lived there, do not tip. I remember I went to
London and we tipped the taxi driver and he literally
gave us money back. He was like, no, that is
way too much. However, we gave him on top like
he was like, no, take it back.
Speaker 6 (39:55):
I have to say, anytime we've done that, they've never
given it back time.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
No, he did, though he was good.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
I had I had appliances delivered recently and they did
a great job, no issues. And when they were leaving,
I said, I don't have any cash, but I'd like
to give you a tip. Do you take Venmo? And
he goes. I don't want the Venmo. All I want
is for you to go and call this number. I'll
go to this website and give me a good review.
Helped me very well. I think sometimes a review is
even worth more than the tip.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, okay, let's keep it going. Nicole, you're up next.
What do you think question five?
Speaker 4 (40:25):
Yes or no?
Speaker 5 (40:27):
I say no.
Speaker 14 (40:29):
I feel like it's going to make all the prices
go up. It's going to be harder. Like I like
to go on a couple of times a week, I'm
gonna like think about cooking at home if I have
to pay a little more.
Speaker 12 (40:38):
To go out.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
But I also love my servers and I know them,
and I want to tip Mary so much money, but
I don't want to tip out people I don't know.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yeah, I will say. Some of the restaurant owners I've
spoken to privately, they say, make no mistake about it,
prices will go up.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
I mean, you have to think the overhead for our
server is tripling because they're making five about five dollars
an hour now and they're gonna make fifteen.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
No, boy, that's gonna gradually go.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
I already gone up so much the average check.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Oh god, Uhilah, I like that name.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
How are you good? What have you got?
Speaker 3 (41:15):
On question five?
Speaker 9 (41:18):
So I am voting no. I have waitress and ten
bar my whole life. And I feel that since COVID,
the restaurants prices for food has gone up so much
and we're still getting the same food we got before
we had COVID, And if we raise the prices more,
(41:38):
it's just going to be outrageous. No one will even
go out to dinner. Also, the the tipping problem is
that everywhere you go you tip. You tip, when you
pick up a takeout, you tip, when you get gash,
you tip. Everybody's looking for a tip, and so people
are so anti tipping right now anyways that no one's
going to tip the service. And and I just think
(42:01):
it's too much money and no one wants to go
out to generate anymore. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Okay, she makes a good point, a good point.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
Okay, she just freaked me out. Am I supposed to
tip when I get gas?
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Dude, You're fine, You're a generous tipper.
Speaker 16 (42:14):
And he'd walk in the door and everybody who walked
the room just went wild.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
He'd give the dorman one hundred just for opening the door.
Speaker 16 (42:21):
He'd shoved hundreds in the pockets of the dealers and
all the guys that ran the game, and the bartender
got a hundred just for keeping the ice cubes cold.
Speaker 4 (42:30):
