Speaker 5 (01:53):
But aren't you filming there this week?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Uh no, No, we're filming in Gloucester today. But yeah,
I don't know. All of a sudden, Karen Reed keeps shouting,
you know, I no one defended John O'Keefe more than me,
and that just struck me as weird.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That was a weird angle. There was a little bit
of a weird angle.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
But anyway, the verdict is in and everybody moves on
except for the O'Keefe family.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, yeah, rest in peace, John O'Keefe.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So there's that and the Thunder or the NBA champions.
They beat the Pacers last night.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
What I mean, Halburton though going down with acls hair
like within he was having a game to the first
few minutes?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Was it acl or Achilles? Do we know Achilles?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I'm men sorry, I.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Don't even know if it was.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I think it was an Achilles.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, I think it was an Aco.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
It was definitely a leg injury. But if it was
the similar to tatums, that's messed up. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Then?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, you saw pop and like go up.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You probably start checking in with the conditioning coaches. But
I love that the Thunder's coaches from Lemonster, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Went to Lemonster High School. That is so cool.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
His parents are an Italian restaurant there, Camino Caminoa.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh, and then he went on to Yukon and he
served as like the team manager, you know that like
handles the equipment and everything. And that's such a cool story.
To make it such a cool story. The best story
of the morning is Elisa Dunnavan defied death in Iceland
this weekend. The videos that you were posting least were extraordinary.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
You guys, I can't fully explain to you what the
hike was like. It was sixteen miles going through twenty
six waterfalls, lava fields, glaciers, lush landscape, all within one hike,
and it took us seven and a half hours. We
came in under what it normally takes usually takes eight
to twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And I did it.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
With my kids and family, friends from Milton Academy, and
I have to tell you it was life changing.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
At one point, I thought we were going.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
To die because we were all the way up on
the glacier and that's when weather changes.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And we're like, we're not hikers.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
That's just like I'm just going to put that out,
like I hike up the Blue Hills, Like that's not
really avid hike. Yeah, this was something else, like a
next level. But I thought to myself at one point,
we're walking our way in and we're gonna walk our
way out one way or another.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But but we had snow, we had literal little like
ski mountains.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
We had We just went down on our on our
bums because we didn't have skis. We didn't have ski poles.
We only saw four people on the hike. There were
no guides. You followed these yellow poles like.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So you run stick out of.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
The ground, you're out your At one point I thought,
what if someone twists an ankle or something like, how
how do we get out of here? And I only
found out later when I spoke with someone from Iceland
that a lot of people go up and they never
come they never come back down.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, you don't want to hear that on your way up.
Some people never come.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Back or you have to be rescued by helicopter.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Right, well, they do rescue tourists.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Then a land of huge glaciers and volcanoes.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Every year a thousand tourists need to be rescued.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
But if you don't alert somebody ahead of time, Lisa,
then you just what stay up there?
Speaker 6 (05:04):
This person told me that there is a website you
can go to for the country that you can register
your hike and so at least they know where you
are when you got lost, and they'll come looking for
you a couple days later. But yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But one of my favorite stories was that one of
the people you traveled with turned to you at one.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Point, this is this is the my mom friend.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
And said that's it. I'm gonna call my private helicopter guy.
And I'm like, hold on, Liza, can we go back
to till like one minute ago? No?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Because I said the same thing to her.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I was like, okay, forget the hike for a second.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You've got a private aviation guy. Like where were you
going to tell me?
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Because at that point she, like everyone was like, we
were scared at one point because the weather was turning
when we were getting close to this like hut.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I posted them on.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
My Instagram, Lisa Dan even want to wait. But it's
like a little a frame hut. Yeah, with no running
water and you just basically pee in a hole. That's
all you get. And again we're not hikers, Okay. So
we had like a couple of bars with us, a
sandwich or two, and then one you know, charging thing
for Max's phone because again we weren't we weren't going
(06:15):
to do the hike because the weather was really bad
that morning. It was raining and it was windy at
the waterfall where you start, and I said to the group,
I said, as a mother, I don't feel comfortable putting
us in this in this weather condition. I don't think
it's smart for us to do this. But then all
of a sudden, the sun came out, and then we
were like, okay, well, let's just do three miles in
(06:36):
and then we'll just walk three miles back to the
car and that's it. And then we just kept walking
and the sun just kept shining and it was warm
and there was no wind. So I honestly feel like
it was like divine intervention that led us to finishing
the hike.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Wow, I really do. And then you somebody comes and
get you.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
You have to book a four x four vehicle at
the end of the hike to drive you out, and
it's an hour out like the Giant. Yeah, you go
through streams and rivers. And again, my pictures just don't.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
They were beautiful.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
They don't fully explain what I have to say.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Remember in twenty ten, the volcano that erupted and disrupted
travel all over Europe.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
They couldn't fly.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
We walked through the volcanic ash from that eruption, which
is the newest mountain in the world.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Wow, in the world.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
So could a volcano have erupted when you were there.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
There's a there's a volcanic eruption expected in the next
couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So there's an active volcano in the middle of now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
When we were but close to like where the Blue
Lagoon is.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah, well, you're going to make a call to the
private aviation company.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
Oh yeah, I got the jumpers out there on the
pad now and get ready to load down.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Okay, he low down.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, we walked out.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I call my private aviation guy that stopped me in
my traction. When she said that, I'm like, I'm sorry,
what me too? Oh man. So we've got a topic
time coming up later this morning. Boston apparently is the
riskiest city in the entire country to drive in. We're
going to address that obviously. The Mega match Game is back.

And Jimmy got her a dream pining pony.
Speaker 5 (09:05):

the farmers were quite interesting, if I do say so myself.
But what do you expect? Yeah, I mean they had
goats and they had little baby chickens. The pony, and yes.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It was the pony in good health, because I know
you were worried it might come in limping.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I'm not sure it was a pony. I don't really
know the difference. So it could have been a mule.
Could have been a mule, but.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Or it could have been what is the the two
we had in studio, the little mini.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
It wasn't a mini. It might have been a donkey, okay,
but it was fine, monkeys are cool. Kid doesn't know
the difference at all, you know what I mean. Yeah,
but now she wants a goat my wife because the
little goats with yea.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, but I gotta tell you, a goat is a
good pet. It's supposed to be a very good pet.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Actually, I'm kind of on board because she was showing
me videos. TikTok. So when goats get nervous, do you
know what they do? They faint? Oh yeah, it's a thing.
I'll show you the video. It's amazing. So any kind
of stress or panic, they just topps and they just faint. Wow,
I don't know, I think so.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
So now the supposed horse was it making donkey sounds?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It was making no sounds.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It was also really hot. Yeah it was really hot.

first time. The NBA champion b Oklahoma City. The story
book season is complete. Yeah, thunder coach Mark Dynat is
from Lemonster, Massachusetts, and he's now a world champion.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
They behaved like champions. They compete like champions. You know,
they root for each other's success, which is rare in
professional sports. I've said it many times. I'm gonna say
one more time. This is an uncommon team and other champions.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, he went to Lemonster High and went on to
Yukon and served as a team manager. I think it's
such a cool story.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I spent a lot of time in Lemonster.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay, well the champions, thank you, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I know Lemonster very well.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, baby, you even know what that means.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
You had a lot of time in lemonstr I was
doing gigs for a car dealer at the time, and
I was up there once a month.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
There you go. Red Sox lost to the Giants yesterday
nine to five. I watched a lot of that weekend
series with Rephael Devers as a Giant. He got his
first home run opposite field, but I think initially in
the series he was like three for seventeen. So you know,
slow start for devors, but yeah, he really launched one.
(12:10):
Hozier comes to Fenway Park tonight and tomorrow night. It's
gonna be a couple of hot nights out at Fenway.
And again they already have people lining up outside Fenway
and I want to hear from some of them. They
want to give us a caller, send us a talk back. Yeah,
there must be a pit they have to be. They're
trying to get nice and close.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I didn't. Yeah, that's crazy. Hose had two sold out shows.
I mean, he's a big star, but.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Take me to church. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
And by the way, Hozier tickets are up for grabs
in the Mega Match Game, which is back this morning

to Hozer. Meantime, Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards over the weekend,
Rhianna got the Icon Award and sent the video thank you.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
Thank you ah so much for this incredible award. I
am beyond honored to be named your twenty twenty five Icon.
This is obviously a big deal for me, and I
just want to take this moment to remind all of
you that wherever you are right now is significant and
crucial to where you are about to go own your
(13:19):
space in this world and know that you are chosen
for greatness.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Like we've always said on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show,
wherever you go, there you are.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
Yo.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Billy really does say that that's crazy. She stole Bill's line.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Yeah, Hey, remember Katie Perry and her rocket ride.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Going to space now to explore something way bigger than me.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
And I'm just so interested in astrophysics and just the
engineering of.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It all and the unknown.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm a constant seeker. Well, her ex husband Orlando Bloom
says the rocket trip was an embarrassment to the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Really absolutely, they're splitting up and they're saying, no one
really knows that the reason.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Was the space trip.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Well, Lauren Sanchez, I mean it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It was like, who is this person I'm sleeping next to?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Ye?
Speaker 8 (14:23):
He seems he seemed very unproblematic. Has never been a
real issue with Orlando Bloom.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Was he pirates of the crises? He was to be
another one coming out.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Justin Bieber's wife Haley over the weekend ditched the wedding ring.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I saw that twice.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Actually, remember Bieber's confrontation last week with Papa Rozza at
the beach at the beach.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Do we want to play the confrontation first that I didn't.
I mean I can pull it up. No, I mean
we played a bunch of it.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah, someone actually did a mash up over the weekend.
We got getting it.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business at.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
The beach, at the beach, standing on business at the beach,
on the beach, at the beach, the beach. Yeah, here's
the best part of it. Justin Bieber actually reposted that
mash up.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He liked it.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
He did.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
He said, you know, this is really good and funny,
but I was really standing on business.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
At least he has a little bit of a sense
of humor.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah. I would love for him at some point to
translate what's standing on business actually means.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah, it's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Of course you want it just means that you're firm
on what you're saying, all.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Right, standing on business. Maybe. So, there are rumors that
Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter may have a collaboration in
the works.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Listen right, So Sabrina's album comes out at the end
of August, and swift has a.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
New merch collection, and the new merch collection.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Dropped the same day that Sabrina announced her album. The
other thing that makes you know all of the Swifties
think this is happening is that Taylor and Sabrina used
the same font. So Taylor's font for her merch and
Sabrina's font for her album release, you know sort of
announcement are the same exact font and folklore. She used
(16:19):
coffee stains on her like letter to to her fans
and Sabrina used wine stains. Same thing. It looks exactly
the same. I think it's true.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Get all the makings of the tailors.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And I have to say the new tailor merch is
really cute.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh you know what, Lisa, Well you're saying all this.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I'm like listening to everything that the Swifties investigated. I
always think when you need more hobbies, you need to
be doing more things, And then I think about these
people that that's their hobby that yeah, yes.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But you who has the time Taylor.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Taylor's had a lot of time off, so that's why
again I think this makes.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Sense of downtime.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, what's Oh, stop, billy, I know what he's gonna that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What's you going to say?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I'm not saying anything. She and Travis are on a
one year break.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, they're together.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
No, I mean they're on a vacation, right right, Yeah, Well,
are you going to say nothing? It's a lot of downtime.
Stop No, Lisa, what was he going to say?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I'm leaving this alone? It alone.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
The swifties will come after you.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I didn't say anything going to come I am a swiftie. Yeah,
they can't come after me. I am a swiftie.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Okay, all right, what's Travis have to say about this
that I'm standing on?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
So Teresa Judas is back, and we affectionately called Teresa
Judice the media Monster on this show, and she did
it again, unceremoniously cut off a reporter asking questions, how
is it that a family doesn't pay their taxes for years?
Who's what family? Are you talking about? Your family? Is
(17:56):
that what the charges were?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, hang out, distance, Let's just hang up.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
That's it, like that question, wasn't that part of the show?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Might remember this was my encounter with so much thereesa.
We know you spent some time in prison. But you
came out of prison and wrote a book, a best seller,
about your time in prison, and did it focus a
lot on the food in prison?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I really don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We're talking about that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
We're talking about a parent that is going to happen
this Saturday. Okay, they're going to ask us questions. The
audience are going to get to know us a little
bit better and have some good laughs and have a
good time. And it's all about being positive, right, not negative.
You should learn some of that. Yeah, you should. I
have a podcast called Ma Sa Bitches. You should listen
(18:49):
to it and learn how to be a little bit more.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Nomo say no, the podcast name doesn't make me feel better, right.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
No, you have to understand my question was very positive.
She was on tour about her prison time and her book,
and I made it a positive thing.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
The other guy was was more direct. But I got
to give a shout out to Billion Lisa Show Nation,
who all sent this clip to me over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
They're on it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):

Speaker 4 (19:20):
So apparently Nick Cannon has so many kids you can't
remember all their names.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
What are their names?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
You want all twelve twelve names.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
This is where I usually get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Because you don't know all of them.

Speaker 13 (19:35):

I saw the in a bigger sense, and he said,
can you name twelve of anything? What about like the
twelve months of the year I can name. He's like,
you can't name twelve of anything?
Speaker 2 (20:10):

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Write them down and just hold it like have it
in his pocket.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah he should.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I know one of them's name is Beautiful.

Want to refund everybody. They're take its tonight and we're
going to keep doing the show. Okay, We're just gonna.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Make this what it is.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah, you know when I lost my voice. A couple
of weeks ago, I really started thinking, like, you take
it for granted. Yeah, you know your voice, you speak
every day, and then when it's gone or goes out,
it's like so shocking.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Hey, the movie Sinner. It starts streaming on Max July fourth.
On HBO July fifth, Michael B. Jordan plays twins Smoke
and Stack. You went to the theater to see it, right, justin?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I did.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
It was really good. I can't wait for you to
see it. Yeah, really good.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
It was one of the best movies I've seen in
a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So you started at the theater as well?
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Yeah, we went, like a couple of weeks ago. We
went late and I was like, wow, this is so good.
A lot of violence, No, not really. I mean it's
a vampire movie, so there's some blood. But I wouldn't
say it's like it doesn't It's not unnecessarily violent, That's
what I would say. It's not like violent for no reason.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
And I don't know if you caught any of the
footage on the Fanatics festal over the weekend. My son
Chris was there. It was celebrity Pat Travis. There.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
There's some sandwich between Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, I know that's a good photo. Wearing glasses now.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, and this is a new fashion statement. He said,
the top button of your button down shirt needs to
be buttoned. I guess okay, that's now, so I'm gonna
start doing that. Kevin Hart was there, Yep, fanatics.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
He did an ice bath with Tom on stage. Both
of them were in an ice bath.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, Dana White. Anyway, my son Chris is back in town.
He's going to commit and kind of rehash it, recap
it for us someday this week. And his brother Alex
is going to be with him.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh my god, we needed another who knows.

All right, justin we're back. It's a Monday. We're in
the middle of the heat wave. Let's talk to the
talkback mafia. Why not it's a Monday.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Well, we were off for four days, so a lot
of talkbacks came in. Thank you to everybody who left
a talk bag. You can always join the show and
leave one on the iHeart app. Just look at that
little microphone button. You press it and you check in.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Happy Monday.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
It's the mayor of the South End. I would like
to pay tribute today to the inventor of modern day
air conditioning. Mister William Carrier invented ear conditioning in nineteen
oh one.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (23:20):
And also I would like to declare this week National
Nude Week. I will be in ear conditioning in front
of a fan, completely naked, eating ice cream.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Stay cool, everybody kind.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
It's one way to live off the heat. Yeah, thank
God for air conditioning. Let me tell you it's going
to be hot. You know.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Hey everyone, guys, Metro West, Mike care. I hope you
all had a good weekend. I had a rough weekend.
I had a power outage and then a power surge
back into my house. Blew up my furnace which means
I have no central air, blew up my new washer.
Oh blew up my sprinkler system. A bunch of life.
Same with some of my neighbors.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
So what a weekend. Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Guys, by Yeah, I noticed we our power went out too.
That all the clocks are really yeah, no.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Blant heat baby, yeah, large demand.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It's gonna be rough. Yeah. Tomorrow is gonna be feel
like one hundred degrees.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Yeah, and it's tough for the window unit air conditioners
to keep up with that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I mean we may hit one hundred tomorrow and then
it'll feel like one eight ten. That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
You know what's interesting about life how things come full circle.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
So when I was a kid, I remember my parents
would like fight over the thermostat. Oh yeah, the heat
or the AC and you know, I remember that as
a young child, and now I do that with my
wife because she wants to turn it all the way
down to like sixty seven yeah, and I'm like, just
keep it at seventy because you that's the thing about
about central air. If you move the temp, it affects
(24:58):
the bill. Yah, you have to keep it at one
tempt that's the trick, right, And she keeps putting it
down to make it colder.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
No, My wife Michelle and I fight all the time
over the thermostat because I'm like, okay, we can't turn
the air conditioning off because then it uses much more
power to get to where it needs to be. You can't, like,
you can't do that. You got to keep it at
a stick, like you said, And even she'll just shut it.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Down, like what my thing is not the bill? I mean,
the bill sucks paying the the you know, the monthly charge.
It's the I'm afraid of it breaking, I know, and
that costs real money to repair it, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Anyway, this is.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
THEO I had called from China. I am now calling
from Massachusetts and listening live today. I wanted to take
the opportunity to say hello, So hello.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Hey THEO, Hi THEO.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Welcome back to America.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Yeah, and he was listening in China. Wow, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
We have a lot of traveling talkbackers.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I'm surprised we're allowed in China.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I should have left to talk that. You should have
I know we were going to and we forgot.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You could have ye from the glacier as they call them.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Moment there coming up next way is Boston. Rank on
the list of the best or worst place to drive in.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So this is interesting. There's a list now of the
cities that are the riskiest to drive in, and Lisa,
I'm looking at the ten riskiest cities. Okay, these are
the riskiest cities, the most collision prone cities in the
entire country. At number nine, Yes, is Providence, Rhode Island. Okay,
(26:40):
Number five Springfield, Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
At number four Worcester, Massachusetts. Now at this point, wait,
this is a nationwide this is nationwide top ten the country.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yes, driving cities.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah. Are you wondering what the riskiest city in America
would be in terms of driving and colliding into one another?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Let me guess. Is it Boston via It is.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Definitely Boston, Massachusetts number one, number one in the country.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Drivers are almost three and a half times as likely
to be in an accident compared to the national average.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Well, because we're so angry and aggressive.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
We're an angry city when it comes to driving. Everybody
leaning on the horn, banging into each other.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
And you know what it is too is I never
realized I was that way until I drive in other places.
If I go to Florida and I'm driving in Florida.
I get like aggressive and angry and I don't even
realize I'm doing it because they're driving too slow or
the yelling.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And you know, the Northeast, which includes Boston, which is
number one, is riskier for driving overall. In the top ten.
We've got four in the top ten. We're an angry bunch.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
And New York's not even in the top ten.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, New York has a lot of public transportation options.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, Like, whenever I talk to people in New York,
they don't even own a car. Most don't, right, So, yeah,
they're taking public transportation, which looks to be a little
dangerous to me. But uh yeah, well that's a conception.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Everyone thinks, Oh New York so aggressive, there are you know,
there's so much traffic, But we have way more drivers
actually in this area.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
We do.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, how did we become number one?
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Oh, Mike Billy, I'm not surprised at all. Really, it's
still aggressive.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
So let's talk about insurance rates. Oh they're so high, right,
Oh yeah they must be.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah here, they're the highest.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I believe they're going up to every year.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
For what it's worth, Texas leads the nation for safe driving.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh, they'll shoot you though, for.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Most of them are on horseback.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Well, Texas is easy going, Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
It's wide open spaces.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Driving in Texas is so easy. Yeah, I've been a
das a couple of they just went in March in
Literally ten miles is ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And plus they're the highways are much wider.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Like we're just trying to fit too many cars into
a very small space and that creates problems. People get angry,
they start bumping into each other. Then you've got distracted
driving with all everyone on their cell phones.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah. Every time I get in the car now, I
think we have way too many cars. No matter what time, way,
what road you're taking, it's all jammed.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh I just feel like we're all squeezing in.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Yeah. But I drove in New York recently and I
almost hit a million people with the petty cabs.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah, but they weren't delivery, they weren't in the car.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I almost hit them on my car though, that was
for sure.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yeah, I would never take a car through New York City.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
No, it's it's pretty brutal. It's pretty brutal. But yeah,
in Boston it's not. It's not even just the accidents.
It's the road rage and oh god, people get so angry.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And then I'm sorry. Like I love bicycles, right, I
love riding my bike, but if there's something about the
bike lanes that make no sense in certain cities around.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Boston, I have to say I love biking too, but
it's been very distracted all of the new configurations in
the city.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah. Do you know in the city of Medford the
bike lanes are in the middle of the road. Now,
that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. That
you've got cars on both side of you, sides of.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
You, and now you've got these white poles too. Oh yeah,
you have to watch out for and not hit.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Well, no offense for our biker friends. But I mean,
we don't have the climate to bike all year round,
so why are the bike lanes taking up all the
space all year round?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
That's always been a pet peeve of mine, Like why
don't they open up all the lanes when it's cold
weather and snowy weather. Why do we have to you know,
acknowledge the bike lanes and the other lanes. That bug
me is when you now park your car in the
middle of the street. Yeah, because the bike lines, the
lane closest to the curve is a bike lane.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's not even more confusing.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, God, who's thinking of all this stuff? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Number one in the whole country though. Yeah, we love
our city, night.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Baker pal, Yeah, I see what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
That's why that's the anger we're talking about, and.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
That's why it's topic time. Topic time is next. We
want to know just how bad do you think Boston is.
We're number one in the country according to this survey.
But give us a call six one seven nine three
one one one. Oh wait, give us some great stories
from the road.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And also do you agree or disagree?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah, or send a talk back? Justin And how do
they do that?
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Listen, you might be driving out there right now, right
pull over, grab your phone, leave us, leave us a
talk back on the iHeart app. Just look for that
little microphone button. You press it nice and easy.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Again the number to call six one, seven, nine three
one one.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Wait because now it's topic time for the Billy and
Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, we're gonna be with topic time this morning. There's
a new report out suggesting that Boston is the riskiest
city to drive in the entire country.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
List we're three and a half times more likely to
get into an accident compared to the national average.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
So it says the survey, Yes, and that is the topic. Time.
We're gonna start with the phones and what do you know,
Billy is on the phone. Hey Billy, Hey, Billy, Hey,
how you doing?
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Good?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
What do you think of this report? Billy?
Speaker 15 (32:06):
So I think it is definitely correct. I was telling
her early when I went to pick up a client
last Thursday, June teenth, I went down to East sam
It normally takes me two hours from Burlington to go
to east Ham Thursday, it took me four and a
half hours.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Where's the.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
Accident? It wasn't a major accident.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, oh the cape driving don't even get done right,
But you.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
Know, you know the main two problems, so of course
they brought all the people back, you know that was
working from home. That is it. But the biggest problem
that we have in Boston is since COVID, nobody caught foos.
So everybody is.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
You know what, you're right, very true.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
People are still worried to car.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Plane is never really that busy.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Ever, right, Well, my thing on driving to the cape
is you got to own a helicopter. You just can't.
Let's go to Jackie next. Jackie, you're up next. What
do you think Boston the worst in the country.
Speaker 16 (33:14):
I definitely agree with it.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
It's so good morning everybody.
Speaker 16 (33:18):
I to me, it makes me think of like when
Boston first became a city, and I think a lot
of people don't think about. You know, the streets weren't
really streets. They were cow paths in horse trees.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Okay, hold on, are you telling me that you were
around when Boston became a city.
Speaker 17 (33:39):
But to me, it's it's it's.
Speaker 16 (33:41):
It's in the it's in the history. So now like
it's not like we're in New York City. Everything is
like in a block or Washington, DC, and everything is
in a circle and like the white houses in the middle.
Boston is like tiny little streets in the alleys and
there's no.
Speaker 15 (34:00):
To it.
Speaker 16 (34:01):
It's just the way it was.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Clearly, we need to go back to horse and buggy.
You know, I can't recommend that enough.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
My friend was in Pennsylvania this weekend for wrestling tournaments
and there were horse and buggies on the road.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Amish. Oh yeah, I think that is so cool.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It is such an hour and a half away from
my girl.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Oh my god. Let's go to Kim next. Kim, what
are your thoughts on this survey?
Speaker 17 (34:28):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
How are you good? Go ahead? Kim.
Speaker 18 (34:31):
I grew up outside of Philly, lived outside of New York.
The streets in Boston are not gritted, so when I
moved up here, it was like And I come from
a motor family. My father invented mobile one oil. I
restored cars for life.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
And what your father founded Mobile one oil?
Speaker 18 (34:55):
Yeah? He invented it?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Oh wow?
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Oh yeah, I use Mobile one oil.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Really everybody does?
Speaker 18 (35:04):
Everybody who's smart? Does? They all come your cards? Your
forces come out of the factories, are restored courses, the
old three fifty six, nine to eleven.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Well is your dad Bill Maxwell?
Speaker 18 (35:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Okay, I won't give his name out.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Why would you? Are you proud of it?
Speaker 18 (35:25):
He invented him and he invented it starting in nineteen
fifty six and brought it to market.
Speaker 15 (35:31):
In New York? Okay, New York?
Speaker 18 (35:35):
All right, it's the great story.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Are you extremely wealthy?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
That's what I came about.
Speaker 18 (35:42):
No, I'm I'm extremely happy that he was given credit
for it. On the patent. Ah, I'll give you the
patent number on the side. But I'm very proud of
him for being like one of the most brilliant sciences.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
As you should, as you should would be.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Okay, it's not always about the money.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
If my dad meant a mobile one oil, I would
want to trust.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Fund Bill Maxwell invented the oil.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
So is he not Bill Maxwell?
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Then?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Why I asked, we're on Bill Maxwell? Well, he's He's
credited the I'm not going to say she came in
the patent number. I think, Yeah, she's proud of her.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Father exactly, not that proud.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
She won't tell us his name.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Okay, let's go to Mic next. Let's get back to
the survey. Mike.
Speaker 17 (36:32):
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Happy bunday everybody.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Hey, Mike, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 17 (36:40):
My biggest thought is I wasn't even gonna call it
until I was sitting at a red light, and they
see it all the time, and I was just sitting
at it. If you are the first character red light,
my advice, this is more of a p s A,
is to count to three to five before you go
through that red light. Because people run red lights all
the time. Everywhere. I'm on the cell shore. I drive
(37:02):
for a living. I'm an outawobile. Damage your praiser, Oh boy,
I see it all the time. People run no regard
for red lights anymore.
Speaker 11 (37:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
You know what else bugs me about drivers is when
there's a like it goes yellow and red and they're
still moving across the intersection and now they're blocking both ways.
That aggravates me. You know, when the light goes from
green to yellow and they're still trying to get through
the lights, so now they're blocking both intersections.
Speaker 17 (37:32):
Yeah, these people that are talking about you know, oh
the roads, the roads, It's not the roads, it's the
human being driving the car. All right, Okay, show some
courtesy and you know, just stop start for the red lights,
because I'll tell you since COVID, I have more claims
because people running red.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Lights interesting in the business, so he knows.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Yeah, that's the second message I got about that I
grew at least. And then one of the problems we
have is the red light. So at the wed light,
there's always someone that go through the red light.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Always everybody's in a hurrying Boston.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
And then if you wait at the green light while
the people are riding red light, you have behind you honking.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Like exactly as soon as it turns green.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, I'm telling you we got to go back to
Horse and Buddy.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
When that happens. When I'm at a red light, it
turns green and within zero point one second, if I
don't move, they honked the I just stay.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
I just say yeah, okay, give me a second gee, and.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Then they get all worked up and then they start
chasing you.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
So that assessment's definitely correct. One time I was trying
to merge. This lady was not letting me merge. So
last minute I did merge, and I gave her the
finger because I was annoyed. She pulled up next to me.
She's screaming at me through the window, calling me a
fat by word. And then I was driving and throughout
the whole time she was driving next to me saying
she was going to call the police, And I'm like,
why are you going to call the police, like you're
(38:57):
the ones screaming at me?
Speaker 6 (38:59):
I cried.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
After that.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
It was traumatizing a.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Lot of road rage out there too. Road range Oh
so much?
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah, no go ahead, no, Winny, you go ahead.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well you know how biggest road rage person is.
Speaker 8 (39:13):
You're sitting right next to him, I am, yeah's absolute cycle.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
He actually followed someone once.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah, like for several blocks.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
No, I thought it was like for like several miles.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
What were you going to do?
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Huh myself? I was going to express myself or or
I might have been planning, like in the event they parked,
I would then key the car.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Didn't you also key someone's car?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Absol he did?
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yeah, Well he stole my space. He like legitimately flipped
me the burd. I was waiting five minutes for this
parking space downtown, and then he pulled around me and
into the parking space. How's your car now, buddy, your
brand new BMW okay, never be the same. The car
will never be the same. If you're listening, never, it's
not the same. The minute you try to sell it,
(40:04):
they're going to see the key the gouge.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
You're not helping this list. You know you're not helping
the list. We really are number one, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Good morning morning crew. Of course Boston is the worst driving.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Everybody's on their phone doing the talk pack.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Get out of my way, please pull over, don't don't
do it and drive
Best morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 6 (00:42):
People are already out camping out at Fenway for the night.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Now, why would you camp out if you already have tickets?
I need someone call to call the show this morning
because I saw that on the news, people sitting on
the sidewalk.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We saw these two young girls.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
If you have tickets, what are you waiting for?
Speaker 5 (00:58):
There could be a pitch yeahah yeah, you got to
line up early for the pit.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
We need them to call six one one one one.
Oh wait, I hope they brought towels.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
They gottas and the tent.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, yeah, some block water water.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
And so hours after we left, uh the show on
Wednesday because we had Dune teenth off and the rest
of the weekend off. Hours after we left the show,
Karen Weied was off the hook.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I was on a plane to Iceland and I saw
the news and I was texting our boss Dylan and
I think you too, and I was just like, wow,
that's it, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
It was yeah, and they were celebrating months the seaport.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Of us watching the trial.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Billy stuck on the match. I don't get to celebrate.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Great place we loves.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, my buddy Connor runs at Master Pros GM.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
But aren't you filming there this week?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Uh no, No, we're filming in Gloucester today. But yeah,
I don't know. All of a sudden, Karen Reed keeps shouting,
you know, I no one defended John O'Keefe more than me,
and that just struck me as weird.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
That was a weird angle. There was a little bit
of a weird angle.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
But anyway, the verdict is in and everybody moves on
except for the O'Keefe family.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, yeah, rest in peace, John O'Keefe.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
So there's that and the Thunder or the NBA champions.
They beat the Pacers last night.
Speaker 8 (02:24):
What I mean, Halburton though going down with acls hair
like within he was having a game to the first
few minutes?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Was it acl or Achilles? Do we know Achilles?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I'm men sorry, I.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Don't even know if it was.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I think it was an Achilles.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, I think it was an Aco.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
It was definitely a leg injury. But if it was
the similar to tatums, that's messed up. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Then?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, you saw pop and like go up.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
You probably start checking in with the conditioning coaches. But
I love that the Thunder's coaches from Lemonster, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Went to Lemonster High School. That is so cool.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
His parents are an Italian restaurant there, Camino Caminoa.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh, and then he went on to Yukon and he
served as like the team manager, you know that like
handles the equipment and everything. And that's such a cool story.
To make it such a cool story. The best story
of the morning is Elisa Dunnavan defied death in Iceland
this weekend. The videos that you were posting least were extraordinary.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
You guys, I can't fully explain to you what the
hike was like. It was sixteen miles going through twenty
six waterfalls, lava fields, glaciers, lush landscape, all within one hike,
and it took us seven and a half hours. We
came in under what it normally takes usually takes eight
to twelve hours.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And I did it.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
With my kids and family, friends from Milton Academy, and
I have to tell you it was life changing.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
At one point, I thought we were going.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
To die because we were all the way up on
the glacier and that's when weather changes.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And we're like, we're not hikers.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
That's just like I'm just going to put that out,
like I hike up the Blue Hills, Like that's not
really avid hike. Yeah, this was something else, like a
next level. But I thought to myself at one point,
we're walking our way in and we're gonna walk our
way out one way or another.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But but we had snow, we had literal little like
ski mountains.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
We had We just went down on our on our
bums because we didn't have skis. We didn't have ski poles.
We only saw four people on the hike. There were
no guides. You followed these yellow poles like.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I told you.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So you run stick out of.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
The ground, you're out your At one point I thought,
what if someone twists an ankle or something like, how
how do we get out of here? And I only
found out later when I spoke with someone from Iceland
that a lot of people go up and they never
come they never come back down.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, you don't want to hear that on your way up.
Some people never come.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Back or you have to be rescued by helicopter.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Right, well, they do rescue tourists.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
Then a land of huge glaciers and volcanoes.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Every year a thousand tourists need to be rescued.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
But if you don't alert somebody ahead of time, Lisa,
then you just what stay up there?
Speaker 6 (05:04):
This person told me that there is a website you
can go to for the country that you can register
your hike and so at least they know where you
are when you got lost, and they'll come looking for
you a couple days later. But yeah, it was.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
But one of my favorite stories was that one of
the people you traveled with turned to you at one.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Point, this is this is the my mom friend.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
And said that's it. I'm gonna call my private helicopter guy.
And I'm like, hold on, Liza, can we go back
to till like one minute ago? No?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Because I said the same thing to her.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I was like, okay, forget the hike for a second.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
You've got a private aviation guy. Like where were you
going to tell me?
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Because at that point she, like everyone was like, we
were scared at one point because the weather was turning
when we were getting close to this like hut.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I posted them on.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
My Instagram, Lisa Dan even want to wait. But it's
like a little a frame hut. Yeah, with no running
water and you just basically pee in a hole. That's
all you get. And again we're not hikers, Okay. So
we had like a couple of bars with us, a
sandwich or two, and then one you know, charging thing
for Max's phone because again we weren't we weren't going
(06:15):
to do the hike because the weather was really bad
that morning. It was raining and it was windy at
the waterfall where you start, and I said to the group,
I said, as a mother, I don't feel comfortable putting
us in this in this weather condition. I don't think
it's smart for us to do this. But then all
of a sudden, the sun came out, and then we
were like, okay, well, let's just do three miles in
(06:36):
and then we'll just walk three miles back to the
car and that's it. And then we just kept walking
and the sun just kept shining and it was warm
and there was no wind. So I honestly feel like
it was like divine intervention that led us to finishing
the hike.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Wow, I really do. And then you somebody comes and
get you.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
You have to book a four x four vehicle at
the end of the hike to drive you out, and
it's an hour out like the Giant. Yeah, you go
through streams and rivers. And again, my pictures just don't.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
They were beautiful.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
They don't fully explain what I have to say.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
Remember in twenty ten, the volcano that erupted and disrupted
travel all over Europe.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
They couldn't fly.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
We walked through the volcanic ash from that eruption, which
is the newest mountain in the world.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Wow, in the world.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
So could a volcano have erupted when you were there.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
There's a there's a volcanic eruption expected in the next
couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
So there's an active volcano in the middle of now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
When we were but close to like where the Blue
Lagoon is.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah, well, you're going to make a call to the
private aviation company.
Speaker 9 (07:44):
Oh yeah, I got the jumpers out there on the
pad now and get ready to load down.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Okay, he low down.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, we walked out.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I call my private aviation guy that stopped me in
my traction. When she said that, I'm like, I'm sorry,
what me too? Oh man. So we've got a topic
time coming up later this morning. Boston apparently is the
riskiest city in the entire country to drive in. We're
going to address that obviously. The Mega match Game is back.
(08:17):
By the way, in the Match game, there are Hozier

Speaker 5 (09:05):

the farmers were quite interesting, if I do say so myself.
But what do you expect? Yeah, I mean they had
goats and they had little baby chickens. The pony, and yes.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It was the pony in good health, because I know
you were worried it might come in limping.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
I'm not sure it was a pony. I don't really
know the difference. So it could have been a mule.
Could have been a mule, but.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Or it could have been what is the the two
we had in studio, the little mini.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
It wasn't a mini. It might have been a donkey, okay,
but it was fine, monkeys are cool. Kid doesn't know
the difference at all, you know what I mean. Yeah,
but now she wants a goat my wife because the
little goats with yea.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, but I gotta tell you, a goat is a
good pet. It's supposed to be a very good pet.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
Actually, I'm kind of on board because she was showing
me videos. TikTok. So when goats get nervous, do you
know what they do? They faint? Oh yeah, it's a thing.
I'll show you the video. It's amazing. So any kind
of stress or panic, they just topps and they just faint. Wow,
I don't know, I think so.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
So now the supposed horse was it making donkey sounds?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It was making no sounds.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
It was also really hot. Yeah it was really hot.

book season is complete. Yeah, thunder coach Mark Dynat is
from Lemonster, Massachusetts, and he's now a world champion.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
They behaved like champions. They compete like champions. You know,
they root for each other's success, which is rare in
professional sports. I've said it many times. I'm gonna say
one more time. This is an uncommon team and other champions.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, he went to Lemonster High and went on to
Yukon and served as a team manager. I think it's
such a cool story.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I spent a lot of time in Lemonster.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Okay, well the champions, thank you, Lisa.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I know Lemonster very well.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, baby, you even know what that means.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
You had a lot of time in lemonstr I was
doing gigs for a car dealer at the time, and
I was up there once a month.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
There you go. Red Sox lost to the Giants yesterday
nine to five. I watched a lot of that weekend
series with Rephael Devers as a Giant. He got his
first home run opposite field, but I think initially in
the series he was like three for seventeen. So you know,
slow start for devors, but yeah, he really launched one.
(12:10):
Hozier comes to Fenway Park tonight and tomorrow night. It's
gonna be a couple of hot nights out at Fenway.
And again they already have people lining up outside Fenway
and I want to hear from some of them. They
want to give us a caller, send us a talk back. Yeah,
there must be a pit they have to be. They're
trying to get nice and close.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I didn't. Yeah, that's crazy. Hose had two sold out shows.
I mean, he's a big star, but.
Speaker 2 (12:33):

Rhianna got the Icon Award and sent the video thank you.
Speaker 10 (12:56):
Thank you ah so much for this incredible award. I
am beyond honored to be named your twenty twenty five Icon.
This is obviously a big deal for me, and I
just want to take this moment to remind all of
you that wherever you are right now is significant and
crucial to where you are about to go own your
(13:19):
space in this world and know that you are chosen
for greatness.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Like we've always said on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show,
wherever you go, there you are.
Speaker 11 (13:32):
Yo.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Billy really does say that that's crazy. She stole Bill's line.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Yeah, Hey, remember Katie Perry and her rocket ride.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Going to space now to explore something way bigger than me.
Speaker 8 (13:46):
And I'm just so interested in astrophysics and just the
engineering of.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It all and the unknown.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I'm a constant seeker. Well, her ex husband Orlando Bloom
says the rocket trip was an embarrassment to the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
Really absolutely, they're splitting up and they're saying, no one
really knows that the reason.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Was the space trip.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Well, Lauren Sanchez, I mean it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It was like, who is this person I'm sleeping next to?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Ye?
Speaker 8 (14:23):
He seems he seemed very unproblematic. Has never been a
real issue with Orlando Bloom.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Was he pirates of the crises? He was to be
another one coming out.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Justin Bieber's wife Haley over the weekend ditched the wedding ring.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I saw that twice.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Actually, remember Bieber's confrontation last week with Papa Rozza at
the beach at the beach.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Do we want to play the confrontation first that I didn't.
I mean I can pull it up. No, I mean
we played a bunch of it.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Yeah, someone actually did a mash up over the weekend.
We got getting it.
Speaker 10 (15:00):
It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business at.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
The beach, at the beach, standing on business at the beach,
on the beach, at the beach, the beach. Yeah, here's
the best part of it. Justin Bieber actually reposted that
mash up.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
He liked it.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
He did.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
He said, you know, this is really good and funny,
but I was really standing on business.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
At least he has a little bit of a sense
of humor.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Yeah. I would love for him at some point to
translate what's standing on business actually means.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
Yeah, it's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Of course you want it just means that you're firm
on what you're saying, all.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Right, standing on business. Maybe. So, there are rumors that
Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter may have a collaboration in
the works.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Listen right, So Sabrina's album comes out at the end
of August, and swift has a.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
New merch collection, and the new merch collection.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
Dropped the same day that Sabrina announced her album. The
other thing that makes you know all of the Swifties
think this is happening is that Taylor and Sabrina used
the same font. So Taylor's font for her merch and
Sabrina's font for her album release, you know sort of
announcement are the same exact font and folklore. She used
(16:19):
coffee stains on her like letter to to her fans
and Sabrina used wine stains. Same thing. It looks exactly
the same. I think it's true.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Get all the makings of the tailors.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
And I have to say the new tailor merch is
really cute.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Oh you know what, Lisa, Well you're saying all this.
Speaker 8 (16:35):
I'm like listening to everything that the Swifties investigated. I
always think when you need more hobbies, you need to
be doing more things, And then I think about these
people that that's their hobby that yeah, yes.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But you who has the time Taylor.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Taylor's had a lot of time off, so that's why
again I think this makes.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Sense of downtime.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, what's Oh, stop, billy, I know what he's gonna that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What's you going to say?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I'm not saying anything. She and Travis are on a
one year break.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, they're together.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
No, I mean they're on a vacation, right right, Yeah, Well,
are you going to say nothing? It's a lot of downtime.
Stop No, Lisa, what was he going to say?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
I'm leaving this alone? It alone.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
The swifties will come after you.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
I didn't say anything going to come I am a swiftie. Yeah,
they can't come after me. I am a swiftie.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
Okay, all right, what's Travis have to say about this
that I'm standing on?
Speaker 4 (17:34):
So Teresa Judas is back, and we affectionately called Teresa
Judice the media Monster on this show, and she did
it again, unceremoniously cut off a reporter asking questions, how
is it that a family doesn't pay their taxes for years?
Who's what family? Are you talking about? Your family? Is
(17:56):
that what the charges were?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Okay, hang out, distance, Let's just hang up.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
That's it, like that question, wasn't that part of the show?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Might remember this was my encounter with so much thereesa.
We know you spent some time in prison. But you
came out of prison and wrote a book, a best seller,
about your time in prison, and did it focus a
lot on the food in prison?
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I really don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
We're talking about that.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
We're talking about a parent that is going to happen
this Saturday. Okay, they're going to ask us questions. The
audience are going to get to know us a little
bit better and have some good laughs and have a
good time. And it's all about being positive, right, not negative.
You should learn some of that. Yeah, you should. I
have a podcast called Ma Sa Bitches. You should listen
(18:49):
to it and learn how to be a little bit more.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Nomo say no, the podcast name doesn't make me feel better, right.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
No, you have to understand my question was very positive.
She was on tour about her prison time and her book,
and I made it a positive thing.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
The other guy was was more direct. But I got
to give a shout out to Billion Lisa Show Nation,
who all sent this clip to me over the weekend.

going to keep doing the show. Okay, We're just gonna.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Make this what it is.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Yeah, you know when I lost my voice. A couple
of weeks ago, I really started thinking, like, you take
it for granted. Yeah, you know your voice, you speak
every day, and then when it's gone or goes out,
it's like so shocking.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Hey, the movie Sinner. It starts streaming on Max July fourth.
On HBO July fifth, Michael B. Jordan plays twins Smoke
and Stack. You went to the theater to see it, right, justin?
Speaker 5 (21:13):
I did.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
It was really good. I can't wait for you to
see it. Yeah, really good.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
It was one of the best movies I've seen in
a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So you started at the theater as well?
Speaker 8 (21:22):
Yeah, we went, like a couple of weeks ago. We
went late and I was like, wow, this is so good.
A lot of violence, No, not really. I mean it's
a vampire movie, so there's some blood. But I wouldn't
say it's like it doesn't It's not unnecessarily violent, That's
what I would say. It's not like violent for no reason.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
And I don't know if you caught any of the
footage on the Fanatics festal over the weekend. My son
Chris was there. It was celebrity Pat Travis. There.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
There's some sandwich between Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, I know that's a good photo. Wearing glasses now.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Yeah, and this is a new fashion statement. He said,
the top button of your button down shirt needs to
be buttoned. I guess okay, that's now, so I'm gonna
start doing that. Kevin Hart was there, Yep, fanatics.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
He did an ice bath with Tom on stage. Both
of them were in an ice bath.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Yeah, Dana White. Anyway, my son Chris is back in town.
He's going to commit and kind of rehash it, recap
it for us someday this week. And his brother Alex
is going to be with him.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Oh my god, we needed another who knows.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
All right, justin we're back. It's a Monday. We're in
the middle of the heat wave. Let's talk to the
talkback mafia. Why not it's a Monday.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Well, we were off for four days, so a lot
of talkbacks came in. Thank you to everybody who left
a talk bag. You can always join the show and
leave one on the iHeart app. Just look at that
little microphone button. You press it and you check in.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Happy Monday.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
It's the mayor of the South End. I would like
to pay tribute today to the inventor of modern day
air conditioning. Mister William Carrier invented ear conditioning in nineteen
oh one.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Thank you.
Speaker 11 (23:20):
And also I would like to declare this week National
Nude Week. I will be in ear conditioning in front
of a fan, completely naked, eating ice cream.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Stay cool, everybody kind.
Speaker 5 (23:33):
It's one way to live off the heat. Yeah, thank
God for air conditioning. Let me tell you it's going
to be hot. You know.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
Hey everyone, guys, Metro West, Mike care. I hope you
all had a good weekend. I had a rough weekend.
I had a power outage and then a power surge
back into my house. Blew up my furnace which means
I have no central air, blew up my new washer.
Oh blew up my sprinkler system. A bunch of life.
Same with some of my neighbors.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
So what a weekend. Have a good day.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Guys, by Yeah, I noticed we our power went out too.
That all the clocks are really yeah, no.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
Blant heat baby, yeah, large demand.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
It's gonna be rough. Yeah. Tomorrow is gonna be feel
like one hundred degrees.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
Yeah, and it's tough for the window unit air conditioners
to keep up with that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I mean we may hit one hundred tomorrow and then
it'll feel like one eight ten. That's crazy.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
You know what's interesting about life how things come full circle.
Speaker 9 (24:36):
Right.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
So when I was a kid, I remember my parents
would like fight over the thermostat. Oh yeah, the heat
or the AC and you know, I remember that as
a young child, and now I do that with my
wife because she wants to turn it all the way
down to like sixty seven yeah, and I'm like, just
keep it at seventy because you that's the thing about
about central air. If you move the temp, it affects
(24:58):
the bill. Yah, you have to keep it at one
tempt that's the trick, right, And she keeps putting it
down to make it colder.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
No, My wife Michelle and I fight all the time
over the thermostat because I'm like, okay, we can't turn
the air conditioning off because then it uses much more
power to get to where it needs to be. You can't, like,
you can't do that. You got to keep it at
a stick, like you said, And even she'll just shut it.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Down, like what my thing is not the bill? I mean,
the bill sucks paying the the you know, the monthly charge.
It's the I'm afraid of it breaking, I know, and
that costs real money to repair it, you know.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Anyway, this is.
Speaker 14 (25:35):
THEO I had called from China. I am now calling
from Massachusetts and listening live today. I wanted to take
the opportunity to say hello, So hello.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Hey THEO, Hi THEO.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Welcome back to America.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Yeah, and he was listening in China. Wow, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
We have a lot of traveling talkbackers.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I'm surprised we're allowed in China.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I should have left to talk that. You should have
I know we were going to and we forgot.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
You could have ye from the glacier as they call them.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Moment there coming up next way is Boston. Rank on
the list of the best or worst place to drive in.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So this is interesting. There's a list now of the
cities that are the riskiest to drive in, and Lisa,
I'm looking at the ten riskiest cities. Okay, these are
the riskiest cities, the most collision prone cities in the
entire country. At number nine, Yes, is Providence, Rhode Island. Okay,
(26:40):
Number five Springfield, Massachusetts.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
At number four Worcester, Massachusetts. Now at this point, wait,
this is a nationwide this is nationwide top ten the country.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Yes, driving cities.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah. Are you wondering what the riskiest city in America
would be in terms of driving and colliding into one another?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Let me guess. Is it Boston via It is.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Definitely Boston, Massachusetts number one, number one in the country.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Drivers are almost three and a half times as likely
to be in an accident compared to the national average.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
Well, because we're so angry and aggressive.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
We're an angry city when it comes to driving. Everybody
leaning on the horn, banging into each other.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
And you know what it is too is I never
realized I was that way until I drive in other places.
If I go to Florida and I'm driving in Florida.
I get like aggressive and angry and I don't even
realize I'm doing it because they're driving too slow or
the yelling.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And you know, the Northeast, which includes Boston, which is
number one, is riskier for driving overall. In the top ten.
We've got four in the top ten. We're an angry bunch.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
And New York's not even in the top ten.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, New York has a lot of public transportation options.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, Like, whenever I talk to people in New York,
they don't even own a car. Most don't, right, So, yeah,
they're taking public transportation, which looks to be a little
dangerous to me. But uh yeah, well that's a conception.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Everyone thinks, Oh New York so aggressive, there are you know,
there's so much traffic, But we have way more drivers
actually in this area.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
We do.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, how did we become number one?
Speaker 8 (28:17):
Oh, Mike Billy, I'm not surprised at all. Really, it's
still aggressive.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
So let's talk about insurance rates. Oh they're so high, right,
Oh yeah they must be.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah here, they're the highest.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
I believe they're going up to every year.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
For what it's worth, Texas leads the nation for safe driving.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh, they'll shoot you though, for.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
Most of them are on horseback.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
Well, Texas is easy going, Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
It's wide open spaces.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Driving in Texas is so easy. Yeah, I've been a
das a couple of they just went in March in
Literally ten miles is ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And plus they're the highways are much wider.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
Like we're just trying to fit too many cars into
a very small space and that creates problems. People get angry,
they start bumping into each other. Then you've got distracted
driving with all everyone on their cell phones.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Yeah. Every time I get in the car now, I
think we have way too many cars. No matter what time, way,
what road you're taking, it's all jammed.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Oh I just feel like we're all squeezing in.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Yeah. But I drove in New York recently and I
almost hit a million people with the petty cabs.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah, but they weren't delivery, they weren't in the car.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
I almost hit them on my car though, that was
for sure.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yeah, I would never take a car through New York City.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
No, it's it's pretty brutal. It's pretty brutal. But yeah,
in Boston it's not. It's not even just the accidents.
It's the road rage and oh god, people get so angry.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And then I'm sorry. Like I love bicycles, right, I
love riding my bike, but if there's something about the
bike lanes that make no sense in certain cities around.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Boston, I have to say I love biking too, but
it's been very distracted all of the new configurations in
the city.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Yeah. Do you know in the city of Medford the
bike lanes are in the middle of the road. Now,
that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. That
you've got cars on both side of you, sides of.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
You, and now you've got these white poles too. Oh yeah,
you have to watch out for and not hit.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
Well, no offense for our biker friends. But I mean,
we don't have the climate to bike all year round,
so why are the bike lanes taking up all the
space all year round?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
That's always been a pet peeve of mine, Like why
don't they open up all the lanes when it's cold
weather and snowy weather. Why do we have to you know,
acknowledge the bike lanes and the other lanes. That bug
me is when you now park your car in the
middle of the street. Yeah, because the bike lines, the
lane closest to the curve is a bike lane.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
It's not even more confusing.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, God, who's thinking of all this stuff? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
Number one in the whole country though. Yeah, we love
our city, night.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Baker pal, Yeah, I see what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
That's why that's the anger we're talking about, and.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
That's why it's topic time. Topic time is next. We
want to know just how bad do you think Boston is.
We're number one in the country according to this survey.
But give us a call six one seven nine three
one one one. Oh wait, give us some great stories
from the road.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And also do you agree or disagree?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Yeah, or send a talk back? Justin And how do
they do that?
Speaker 5 (31:20):
Listen, you might be driving out there right now, right
pull over, grab your phone, leave us, leave us a
talk back on the iHeart app. Just look for that
little microphone button. You press it nice and easy.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Again the number to call six one, seven, nine three
one one.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Wait because now it's topic time for the Billy and
Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Yeah, we're gonna be with topic time this morning. There's
a new report out suggesting that Boston is the riskiest
city to drive in the entire country.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
List we're three and a half times more likely to
get into an accident compared to the national average.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
So it says the survey, Yes, and that is the topic. Time.
We're gonna start with the phones and what do you know,
Billy is on the phone. Hey Billy, Hey, Billy, Hey,
how you doing?
Speaker 7 (32:02):
Guys?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Good?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
What do you think of this report? Billy?
Speaker 15 (32:06):
So I think it is definitely correct. I was telling
her early when I went to pick up a client
last Thursday, June teenth, I went down to East sam
It normally takes me two hours from Burlington to go
to east Ham Thursday, it took me four and a
half hours.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Where's the.
Speaker 15 (32:28):
Accident? It wasn't a major accident.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Yeah, oh the cape driving don't even get done right,
But you.
Speaker 15 (32:37):
Know, you know the main two problems, so of course
they brought all the people back, you know that was
working from home. That is it. But the biggest problem
that we have in Boston is since COVID, nobody caught foos.
So everybody is.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
You know what, you're right, very true.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
People are still worried to car.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
Plane is never really that busy.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Ever, right, Well, my thing on driving to the cape
is you got to own a helicopter. You just can't.
Let's go to Jackie next. Jackie, you're up next. What
do you think Boston the worst in the country.
Speaker 16 (33:14):
I definitely agree with it.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
It's so good morning everybody.
Speaker 16 (33:18):
I to me, it makes me think of like when
Boston first became a city, and I think a lot
of people don't think about. You know, the streets weren't
really streets. They were cow paths in horse trees.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
Okay, hold on, are you telling me that you were
around when Boston became a city.
Speaker 17 (33:39):
But to me, it's it's it's.
Speaker 16 (33:41):
It's in the it's in the history. So now like
it's not like we're in New York City. Everything is
like in a block or Washington, DC, and everything is
in a circle and like the white houses in the middle.
Boston is like tiny little streets in the alleys and
there's no.
Speaker 15 (34:00):
To it.
Speaker 16 (34:01):
It's just the way it was.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Clearly, we need to go back to horse and buggy.
You know, I can't recommend that enough.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
My friend was in Pennsylvania this weekend for wrestling tournaments
and there were horse and buggies on the road.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Amish. Oh yeah, I think that is so cool.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It is such an hour and a half away from
my girl.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Oh my god. Let's go to Kim next. Kim, what
are your thoughts on this survey?
Speaker 17 (34:28):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
How are you good? Go ahead? Kim.
Speaker 18 (34:31):
I grew up outside of Philly, lived outside of New York.
The streets in Boston are not gritted, so when I
moved up here, it was like And I come from
a motor family. My father invented mobile one oil. I
restored cars for life.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
And what your father founded Mobile one oil?
Speaker 18 (34:55):
Yeah? He invented it?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Oh wow?
Speaker 5 (35:00):
Oh yeah, I use Mobile one oil.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Really everybody does?
Speaker 18 (35:04):
Everybody who's smart? Does? They all come your cards? Your
forces come out of the factories, are restored courses, the
old three fifty six, nine to eleven.
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Well is your dad Bill Maxwell?
Speaker 18 (35:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Okay, I won't give his name out.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Why would you? Are you proud of it?
Speaker 18 (35:25):
He invented him and he invented it starting in nineteen
fifty six and brought it to market.
Speaker 15 (35:31):
In New York? Okay, New York?
Speaker 18 (35:35):
All right, it's the great story.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Are you extremely wealthy?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
That's what I came about.
Speaker 18 (35:42):
No, I'm I'm extremely happy that he was given credit
for it. On the patent. Ah, I'll give you the
patent number on the side. But I'm very proud of
him for being like one of the most brilliant sciences.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
As you should, as you should would be.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Okay, it's not always about the money.
Speaker 4 (36:03):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 8 (36:04):
If my dad meant a mobile one oil, I would
want to trust.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Fund Bill Maxwell invented the oil.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
So is he not Bill Maxwell?
Speaker 5 (36:13):
Then?
Speaker 4 (36:13):
Why I asked, we're on Bill Maxwell? Well, he's He's
credited the I'm not going to say she came in
the patent number. I think, Yeah, she's proud of her.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Father exactly, not that proud.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
She won't tell us his name.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Okay, let's go to Mic next. Let's get back to
the survey. Mike.
Speaker 17 (36:32):
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Happy bunday everybody.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Hey, Mike, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 17 (36:40):
My biggest thought is I wasn't even gonna call it
until I was sitting at a red light, and they
see it all the time, and I was just sitting
at it. If you are the first character red light,
my advice, this is more of a p s A,
is to count to three to five before you go
through that red light. Because people run red lights all
the time. Everywhere. I'm on the cell shore. I drive
(37:02):
for a living. I'm an outawobile. Damage your praiser, Oh boy,
I see it all the time. People run no regard
for red lights anymore.
Speaker 11 (37:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
You know what else bugs me about drivers is when
there's a like it goes yellow and red and they're
still moving across the intersection and now they're blocking both ways.
That aggravates me. You know, when the light goes from
green to yellow and they're still trying to get through
the lights, so now they're blocking both intersections.
Speaker 17 (37:32):
Yeah, these people that are talking about you know, oh
the roads, the roads, It's not the roads, it's the
human being driving the car. All right, Okay, show some
courtesy and you know, just stop start for the red lights,
because I'll tell you since COVID, I have more claims
because people running red.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Lights interesting in the business, so he knows.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Yeah, that's the second message I got about that I
grew at least. And then one of the problems we
have is the red light. So at the wed light,
there's always someone that go through the red light.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Always everybody's in a hurrying Boston.
Speaker 8 (38:10):
And then if you wait at the green light while
the people are riding red light, you have behind you honking.
Speaker 5 (38:14):
Like exactly as soon as it turns green.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, I'm telling you we got to go back to
Horse and Buddy.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
When that happens. When I'm at a red light, it
turns green and within zero point one second, if I
don't move, they honked the I just stay.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
I just say yeah, okay, give me a second gee, and.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Then they get all worked up and then they start
chasing you.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
So that assessment's definitely correct. One time I was trying
to merge. This lady was not letting me merge. So
last minute I did merge, and I gave her the
finger because I was annoyed. She pulled up next to me.
She's screaming at me through the window, calling me a
fat by word. And then I was driving and throughout
the whole time she was driving next to me saying
she was going to call the police, And I'm like,
why are you going to call the police, like you're
(38:57):
the ones screaming at me?
Speaker 6 (38:59):
I cried.
Speaker 15 (39:00):
After that.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
It was traumatizing a.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Lot of road rage out there too. Road range Oh
so much?
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Yeah, no go ahead, no, Winny, you go ahead.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Well you know how biggest road rage person is.
Speaker 8 (39:13):
You're sitting right next to him, I am, yeah's absolute cycle.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
He actually followed someone once.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah, like for several blocks.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
No, I thought it was like for like several miles.
Speaker 5 (39:26):
What were you going to do?
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Huh myself? I was going to express myself or or
I might have been planning, like in the event they parked,
I would then key the car.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Didn't you also key someone's car?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Absol he did?
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yeah, Well he stole my space. He like legitimately flipped
me the burd. I was waiting five minutes for this
parking space downtown, and then he pulled around me and
into the parking space. How's your car now, buddy, your
brand new BMW okay, never be the same. The car
will never be the same. If you're listening, never, it's
not the same. The minute you try to sell it,
(40:04):
they're going to see the key the gouge.
Speaker 5 (40:07):
You're not helping this list. You know you're not helping
the list. We really are number one, Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Good morning morning crew. Of course Boston is the worst driving.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Everybody's on their phone doing the talk pack.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Get out of my way, please pull over, don't don't
do it and drive

I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
