end to try and make you feelbetter. Yeah, the who played Arbie?

she was blown away that you didn'tknow what Tetris was. Tetris was,
Angie, she was speechless. No, I got to tell you something,
honestly, Okay, don't think lessof me in my entire life, and

(05:53):
that's having three boys growing up inthe era of video games. Right,
I have never picked up a remotefor a video game in my life.
Interesting, have you ever played Misspac Man? Well that's different. Pac
Man was a big arcade game,right, Yeah you played arcade, not

(06:14):
the ones in your in your house. Yeah, my kids would be playing
all day. Yeah you never did. I play a little bit of Xbox.
But we just got this the MetaQuest three. I'm gonna bring it
in so you can try it.It's virtual reality. It's the metaverse.
God, what don't you have.I know, it's crazy. Yeah,
you're the richest person. No,it's that's not well, you know what,

(06:34):
they stopped drinking. But you canput on this virtual reality and you
can watch you know, YouTube,and you can immerse yourself in the video.
It's very cool. So talk aboutthe benefits. There's no other benefit
to it. It's completely virtual.No, No, I'm not gonna do

(06:55):
it. That you're unbelievable coming hornhas never been better. Yeah, he
says, it's so real, it'sreal. We got to go. You
shut up, Hey, guys,welcome back. It's stories that make you
say, let's get right into it. Here we go. Okay, So,

(07:23):
who wants to start with the Tetrisstory? I have it. So.
A thirteen year old from Oklahoma isthe first person in history ever to
beat the original Tetris. He justdid it. This is unbelievable. It's
a huge deal because the only personI should say that ever beat the game

(07:43):
wasn't a person. It was anAI bought. But he did well.
It took nearly thirty five years,but a thirteen year old Oklahoma boy has
become the first human to beat theoriginal Tetris game. Check this out.
His names Willis Gibson. He waslive streaming his record setting thirty eight minute
game. He reached an unheard oflevel one point fifty seven when the game

(08:05):
could no longer keep up with himand crashed. Yeah, he reached Yeah.
Screen he was filming it, soyou know his live reaction. You
can see it. It's just uttershock. It's never been b I I
know you've never played, but thinkabout that, it's been around for thirty
plus years. I love this becauseit was a human that did it and
not an AI bought. How muchtime has this kid had? Hours upon

(08:31):
it? He said he couldn't feelhis hands, his hands felt tingled.
So now what does he do?Well, now he's a record record holder,
maybe he can get some endorsements.You know Tetris Billets that won with
the screen where the shapes fall theyhave the square, the line, different
l shapes and that you have tostack them so they fit. Do you
know what I mean? Okay,yeah, it's what do you got though?

(08:58):
Okay, we've had a lot ofpet stories, even locally lately,
that tragic one in Lowell and thenthey're kicking the little dark raccoon and quinsy
Yeah, quinsy stories just as crazy. I left that out of the weird
stories today because what was that guydo? Was he trying to eat eat
the raccoon like grilling? No?I think he was just mad that the
raccoon existed. He put it inthe cage and then put the cage on

(09:20):
top of a fire torture. Yeah, I don't like that. Weird enough
of that, This well, thegood news is the raccoon survived. But
these injuries, I guess their nails, their feet are extremely sensitive. All
their nerves are right there in theirfeet, so to have their feet right
on top of an open flame nota good thing. Anyway. This Pennsylvania
family's home was set on fire bytheir pet pig. Apparently the pig was

(09:46):
trying to stay warm. I don'tknow. I'm going to let them try
to explain it. His home wasunder the porch. I had added extra
hay for him because I knew itwas going to snow. He had a
little heat light there in the front, see where there's a little board right
there, and he must have knockedhis hay into the heat lamp and caught

(10:07):
the house on fire. It's apot belly pig, and they gave an
extra hay warm and somehow the pigknocked the hay into the flame. It
didn't go well. Like I said, it's just a lot of animal stories,
you know. You know we callthat pig, call that pig a
hassa. That's a pig that don'tfly straight right right? Not everyone else

(10:35):
you got. This is actually kindof a weird animal story too. In
some way. A Virginia man hasstopped dressing up like Bigfoot around around winter
Green, Virginia because people were takingthe sightings too seriously and started getting scared.
It was I guess maybe something thatmaybe got out of hand, but

(10:56):
it was all fun and games.I think he just went to maybe elevate
people's happiness during the holidays season.Well, there are lots of grown men
who think that Bigfoot is Israel Iknow. But the people that are getting
really thought it was. Well,yeah, they see it all the time.

(11:16):
Occasional we'll see a video of people, Oh there he is, Like
when is Bigfoot going to disappear fromall? There was just a new sighting.
We reported on it, but itwas fake clearly. Yeah. It
was a There was a guy ona train and there was something walking in
the in the mind you got whenthey're justin winn he's out, So you
got to give us some weird stYeah, of course I got you.

(11:37):
You see that dog that ate ateate its own is cash four thousand dollars.
You see that bad dog four grands? Yeah the dog was a golden
doodle. Yeah, cecil, theyhad four thousand dollars kind of set aside
in cash and the dog ate allthe money. Now here's the crazy part,
not the dog eating the money.They were able to recoup like eighty

(12:00):
percent of the money because it poopedit out and the other side cecil started
throwing up cash. It also cameout the other end. It was just
kind of like balled up pieces thatwe had to just kind of like remove
from his number two. While salvagingwhat they could, the laws found out
that their bank would take back anybills that had been taped together with the

(12:24):
full serial numbers visible on both sides. So they did just that and so
far we got back about three fivehundred and fifty dollars. So that's amazing.
They washed and pieced together the moneyand were able to recoup. You
know, I have to say,I have a labberdoodle. They go through
the trash and they eat paper allthe time. They eat anything that's in

(12:45):
the trash. It's it's it's weird. Would you what would you do if
Ruby the doll? She would eatit, she would duck cash. Would
you go after it? Would yougo through her poop? Absolutely? Really,
at least someone in my family would, But yes, yeah, probably
probably Tim, Yes, but Iwould be there with him too, I
have to. I just wouldn't touchit. I would put gloves on.

(13:09):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it'syou guys. You have another one there
doing I don't. I only hadtwo. I've got one here. Last
night on Wheel of Fortunate, womanhad the entire puzzle exposed. Understand every
letter was there. It was aninstant win, but she didn't win because
she mispronounced a word. Yeah,does this remind you of you? Bill?

(13:33):
No? Seant? Would you readwhat's up there? Please? Congital
company and clever conversation? No,see congenial company and clever conversation. Yeah,
we need to kind of have acoined word there. You had.
I'm sorry, not only mispronounced it, but the word had a different meaning.

(13:54):
Yeah, it's it's exactly, It'sexactly congenital am GCIA. That's hilarious.
I do have one more we canend with, and this is probably
the best one, I think.So. You know how they have on
TikTok they have this thing called datingRapped trend. It's kind of like the
Spotify wrapped it's your you know,your top dates of the year. It's

(14:16):
like a gen Z thing, right. The younger daters do that. Well,
this ninety three year old woman goton TikTok and did a dating rapped
as a senior dating. It's pokingfun of the gen zers, but it
is hilarious. Remember this woman isninety three years old. I went on
five first dates. I met oneat a funeral and he was cute.

(14:37):
One was from Instagram. I metone at a bar and two at Bingo
i'stolid in. One wasn't honest,one died, I ghosted two and one
decay my boyfriend. This is howmany ghosts did meet because he turned into
a ghost. Maggie slay in peace. I was in two situation ships they

(14:58):
were loose. Of course. Itwas the guy at the box and the
guy from Instagram. Total relationships one. Whoever put her up to that was
that was really good? Wow,Yes, so weird stories. You do

guy has created a bunch of apps, one of which was a It was

(15:41):
an app to combat fake restaurant reviews. So that's a big deal in the
restaurant world. Are these trolls thatgo online and they trash a restaurant and
then people they won't go to thatrestaurant. Well, he made an app
to kind of combat then, Sothis guy, he knows what's up.
So dude, Yeah, but yougot coming up entertainment. We've got a
lot this whole Kimmel Aaron Rodgers thing. There's a new chapter being played out,

(16:04):
and that one involving the Jeffrey EpsteinList, which continues to be released.
And Kim Kardashian talking about games.She's canceling her mobile game after ten
years and like a hundred million inrevenue. She's just pulling the plug.
We've got that. It's all comingup next ten by Yeah, justin before

(16:25):

and she loves her car and younever get that smell out. But she
sent a picture of the puke toJustin. Yeah, at five o'clock dinnertime,
literally at dinner time. I lookedon my phone and there was a

(17:15):
scene in her car. So yeah, and she unfortunately got it from me.
I'm morning everyone, this one fromRude Island. Oh my god,
Justin, you are so screwed.You gave Winnie the virus. It went
through gen and able skipped you andthen Winnie got it. M Oh my
god, you were never going tolive this down. I mean, I
you know, I have compassion forher, but I wouldn't take the blame

(17:38):
ifire. Were you to think aboutwhere Winnie goes in her well, she
lives in a truck stop. Yes, so there's no guarantee she caught it
from me. You're right. Ifit's going around, it's easy to catch.
Probably came right out of the cabof a truck or something. It's
well, you know, plus shejust got back from Lauderdale and you know

(17:59):
what's going down on. Nothing goodbut yeah, yeah, the stomach's not
good. Oh you never wantrus.You don't want it anyway. Hopefully you'll
be back tomorrow. Now the entertainmentupdates with Billy Costa. So yesterday we
had that story about Aaron Rodgers.He was on the Pat McAfee show this
week jokingly trying to tie Jimmy Kimmelinto the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Uh,

(18:25):
this is the clip right here.A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel,
are really hoping that doesn't all right. Kim Will, of course quick
to respond to posting on social Rogersshould keep his name out of his mouth,
suggesting he would sue Aaron Rodgers ifhe keeps it up, and of
course he's on social because all thelate night guys I think have the week

(18:48):
off right justin they're not on thisweek they do. Yeah. The new
development, the new twist in thisstory that was that Pat McAfee felt the
need to apologize yesterday for giving RogersI guess, sort of a platform here
he was some things Obviously people getvery pissed off about, especially when they're
that serious allegations. So we apologizefor being a part of it. Can't
wait to hear what Aeron That's tosay about it. Hopefully those two will

(19:11):
just be able to settle this,you know, not moartwise, but be
able to chitchat move along. Ithink Jimmy's so upset because this lives forever
online. So if you've seen itand then you don't go back and look
again, you're going to think thatJimmy Kimmel was a part of this group.
And this is a really bad group, I will say, Lisa.
I was monitoring on ex Twitter yesterdaythe list before it dropped, and there

(19:32):
were a bunch of threads that Isaw of people saying, who's going to
be on the list, where's thelist? And I saw a lot of
people say, oh, Jimmy Kimmel'son the list, right, and it's
it's because of Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, but the list is coming out very
slowly. Keep in mind, though, it's the flying logs, the flight
logs that they're waiting for. Thatis what will tell you who went to
the actual island, which, bythe way, in Saint John they call

(19:55):
Pedophile Island. This is Epstein's island. Well, it's not his anymore.
But a few of the names thatwe do know are on the list.
It doesn't mean they've done anything wrong. We don't know that yet. But
former President Clinton, Prince Andrew,former President Trump is on the list.
Stephen Hawking is on the list.So is David Copperfield. And this one
hit me as a surprise. Yesterdaythey said Michael Jackson is on the list.

(20:21):
Yeah, he was at the mansionin Palm Beach. They say Copperfield
was doing magic tricks, right hewas hired. Yeah, okay, probably
more. But I feel like we'llnever know the truth, the real truth
of Epstein. I don't think wewill. I don't think so unless you
get the flight logs. But whoknows. Tuesday, on this show,

(20:42):
we talked about Iron Zering. Hewas on nine O two one oh the
Original and he was attacked by hooliganbikers in Hollywood earlier this week. The
video was pretty shocking to watch.Zering had his ten year old daughter in
the car, like eight or nineof them were just attacking him. Two
of the gang members, though,have come forward saying Iron Zeroing started it

(21:03):
here they are, well, mostlikely happened was that dude was just going
through some real personal issues that morning. That's why this is such a big
deal. There's no before. That'sit the video is it? I mean,
I mean I could probably get thevideo of the whole build up before,
but there's no build up. Bythe way, when they say the
investigation is ongoing and they're looking forthese hooligan bikers, well there they are,

(21:27):
but there's no proof of what theymay or may not have done before.
That's the issue, right The onlyvideo they have is of Ian jumping
out of his car and hitting them. But if police are looking for them,
there they are. We just hadthem on the show. It's really
a twenty twenty four thing, likeit's only nowadays where gang members would now
come forward and you make a statementand still feel protected. Yeah, in

(21:52):
a way. Well it's Los Angeles, yeah, arresting many people there.
Yesterday we talked about Pete Davidson twoshows at the Chevalier in Medford this coming
Sunday night. Just announced he's gota new Netflix special coming out to January
ninth. It's a stand up special. We've got a clip from the coming
January ninth and Netflix Comedy is Special. Pete Davidson is turbo vunger. Really.

(22:23):
By the way, earlier when wedid that show, we were wondering
whose voice that was in the promo. Well, my niece Michelle's husband Mike,
who listens to this show religiously.Hey Mike, how you doing,
buddy? He texted me this morninghe said, it's actor Stacy Keach.
Oh, he's the voice guy.Yeah in that promo. Really, I'll

(22:45):
have to double check. Well,you don't see much of Stacy's teach these
days, but he used to bea big TV guy. Man. You
know there something else that needs tobring back is the voice guy, the
deep voice guy from the movie trailers. They don't have the voice guy on
the trailer anymore. He made alot of dough, a lot of dough.
Hey. Another reminder we mentioned theChevalier. Don't forget Kevin Hart will

(23:07):
do the Chevalier right down the streethere in Medford January thirteenth, and the
tickets are on sale. You justgo to Chevaliertheater dot com. Golden Globe
Awards are this coming Sunday night.Ben Affleck spotted in La this week filming
yet another Duncan commercial, right,Lise exactly, and Charlie Demilio, who

(23:27):
we know, is in the commercialwith him, and they're spoofing an actual
paparazzi photo of Ben from twenty twentywhere he was carrying a bunch of Duncan
products and he accidentally like dropped halfof them. So they're thinking that it
might be a Super Bowl commercial.Okay, So Dnavan, you know all

(23:47):
things celebrity news, right, Itry. I keep seeing in hearing stories
that Ben and j lower in trouble. I don't think they are. Well.
The latest was literally from this pastweekend. They were I think in
St. Bart's together, you know, for the holiday, and they had
you know them looking in a tenseconversation and then they were out shopping and
it said they were arguing I justthink that's their relationship. I think they

(24:11):
probably have discussions and whatever. Youknow, he's a serious guy. He's
a very serious guy. I don'tthink that there's anything going on. No,
Billy's reading the magazines when he checksout at CBS or whatever. It's
like Life and Style in Touch NationalInquiry. I don't read magazines, but
those headlines come all the sights andit's always, oh, they're in trouble

(24:33):
again, and like this one Isaw yesterday even suggested Matt Damon didn't like
that they were together. And I'mlike, Matt Damon is Ben Affleck's best
friend. I have to say,if you've searched once for that story,
those stories are going to pop upat your feet. So I think that's
what's happening. The algorithm day onmy phone, I getting to learn and

(24:53):
it's either Ben Affleck and j Loor Travis and Kelsey literally multiple times.
Have you noticed, by the way, that I have not provided any Tailor
Travis stories in twenty twenty four.No, it's not because I'm against them.
I love them both. It's toomuch unless something big happens, they

(25:14):
get engaged. But this whole thingabout she was spotted here. He was
spotted here. Oh she may havesaid the L word the Christmas present enough,
like oh shut yeah, everybody thinksit's too much. I think everybody's
kind of closed. Well that's whytwenty twenty four we're taking a step back.
Yeah, hey, don't forget tonightthe Golden Bachelor wes it is.
We will have our popcorn ready andour blankets and we will be watching it.

(25:37):
My son Riley and I now Rileyis the exclusive correspondent for the billion
Lisa Morning show on the bachel OrSoda. Has he chosen his meal of
choice for the big viewing tonight?Yeah, you never know. Sometimes he
goes healthy with a salad or sometimeshe does like ramen noodles. I usually
have popcorn. So but he'll bein position because he will be in position

(25:57):
we need him on the show tomorrow. Yeah, he'll be breaking it down.
I still think the Golden Matcherel isgoing to say, no, you
know, you never know, Yeah, you never know, you never know.
That would be the show. Thething is, I just read yesterday
that Leslie, who was the girlthat he left at the altar, basically
she just had emergency surgery over theholiday, so she might not be there,

(26:18):
which is probably a good thing becauseI think it would be really weird
for her to be there. Plus, it was a bowel blockage, and
you don't want to bow bolage.You should get Riley like a nice fancy
mail for tonight. You're right,you're maybe some like Balinese. No I
got bullyon aisee kind of thing.They called it like Fusili Genevieve or something,
but it was bullionaise Yeah, yougot to make him some Fewzi Genevieve

(26:41):
Tonight and Donovan House. Kim Kardashianis shutting down her mobile game after ten
years. And by the way,she made millions in revenue. I don't
know why she's pulling the plug,but once she decided to launch this game,
everybody made fun of it right justin including the Late Night guys.

(27:26):
aren't you already playing the Kim Kardashiangame. According to a new report,
Kim Kardashian will make over eighty fivemillion dollars from her new smartphone game,

the Garden tonight. The women's professionalhockey team had their first game last night,

on a dating app in New YorkCity and I think on our second date
she pitched me the idea, andsometimes I'm not the fastest, so it
took me a little bit to pickit up on it. About a year
ago, we ran a bunch ofresearch for people using existing dating apps,
saying what do you hate about them? Like what doesn't work? And that
helped us shape the vision for what'snow Lola Dating. So how does it

(29:19):
differ from all the other apps?There's really two things. The first one
is we want to get people ondates like this week. So when you
run it, it says, lolosof people who want to go out this
week, and then he'd continue theysay, what night you want to go
out? Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. If you click the button
to the bottom says whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not ready to go

(29:40):
out. We say lolos of peoplewant to go out on dates this week.
If you just want to chat,we highly recommend tend or bumble the
Great for chatting, which is alittle bit of a you know, yeah.
But then they go back and theysay, all right, I'll go
out Thursday night. So we onlyshow them people that match their profile and
who've already said they want to goout Thursday night. On Friday, let's

(30:00):
say Billy, you meet you matchwith Rachel. On Friday morning, we
message both of you. So messageRachel and say did you go out with
Billy last night? Yes and no? How do you rate your experience at
Billy one to five? And whichof these positive attributes do you associate with
Billy? Like he's handsome, heas good, banter, he's funny.
Which of these constructive feedback do youassociate with your date? He talked about

(30:22):
his X too much, he wason his phone and then after you've been
on five dates, if you want, we let you see what the last
five people said about you. Ohso it'll be a dating scorecard. Are
those the red flags green flags?Yes? So how did you come up
with the red flag green flag?Because that to me sounds like part of
the genius that is Lola dot com. We wanted it to be like behavioral

(30:45):
things that you could change, soit's it's a dating scorecard to help you.
So, like the red flags arethings that you wouldn't like in green
flags? The ones you like.The red flag one that I like the
most is didn't offer to pay,because that's a big one right now with
younger people like offering to pay andwhere both ways it does. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, it's almost likea deal breaker. I would with some

(31:07):
people, and some people are offendedif you don't offer to pay either way,
or don't ask if you want topay. Well, I could see
offering, but I don't know.I'm old school, you know, pick
up the tamo school too. Don'tembarrass yourself. He's a way, I
think. Although Rachel claims in ourfirst date we went out for late night
pizza, I think our date wenttill about two am, and she paid

(31:29):
for the pizza and the cab.You're forgetting about the card. She's coming
out. Wow you go, Rachel, there you go, take charge.
There you go. Now you mentionedyou met on a dating app, but
which one was it? It wasbumbo? Okay, and you're engaged?
We are. We got engaged thisSeptember on my birthday. Oh nice.

(31:49):
Yes, he surprised me when Ithrew him a birthday party. And then
he surprised me. Wow, it'ssuch a love story. Is there a
wedding date? It's gonna be probablylate twenty twenty four, early twenty twenty
five. Now that's interesting, Paul, I asked if there's a wedding date,
and you just backed away, anddid you not know when it's changing?

(32:13):
Day by day? I'd get marriedtoday right here in the studio of
Rachel. Would happen me? AndI am inefficient? That's good today.
Well maybe you're going to break somethingcan happen here? There you go.
I have to mention dating Sunday iscoming up this Sunday, So this is
like your super Bowl? Yes?Right? Why is that? I think
it's because a lot of people breakup right before the holidays or over the

(32:36):
holidays, they come back from beingwith their family. They're ready to get
back into the swing of things.And it's New year resolution. And it's
interesting because Riley, our assistant producerover there, is I think I don't
want to jump the gun, butyou're looking for love. Riley. She
is single, she's successfully single rightnow, but I think would like to
meet someone. But there's a problem. She doesn't live in Boston, so

(32:58):
that's okay. We understand spends alot of time in Boston. I know
she works at the Boston Bruins,so and whenever she's in Boston she can
use Lola and maybe after Bruins gamefind someone to meet for drink or whatever.
We can actually make her a featuredperson on the app. Yeah,
do that. So I had aquestion about the night. So if you
click on every night that you're available, does that make you look like to

(33:22):
know because no one's going to seeit. We're no one's going to see
how many nights you're available. We'reonly matching the people available that same night
as you. So when you clickit, you're the only one who sees
that. Got it? Aren't youstaging a dating game? Or something really
soon? Did I read that?We are and we don't have the date
yet. It's going to be theweek of Valentine's Day. It might be
the thirteenth, We're not sure yet. We're trying to lock down a location,

(33:44):
but we're trying to do a moderntake on the dating game. We're
going to have some local celebs inthere, and it should be a lot
of fun. Don't look at me, Okay, yeah, I mean this
could work an OL due respect Ryle, A lot of cute bruins take the

(34:05):
players. What does it mean tofeature her? What does that mean on
the app? So we have thissecret feature we're building that. Yeah,
if you're a friend of Rachel's afriend of mine, you get a blue
check mark. Then your certification you'reseeing at the beginning of the feed.
So when someone sees Riley and theysee this blue check mark, they'll be
like, whoa, what's so specialabout her that she's the only one with

(34:30):
a blue check mark? Then theyhave to message her to figure it out.
Well, Riley, would you wantto do come over here right?
Is this something you want to do? Sure? I'd love to. Oh,
okay, the big smile. Whatnights of the week are best for
you? Friday's probably all right?Yeah. How we looking on Fridays over
there at lola dot com. Wehave a lot of people want to go

(34:52):
out on Fridays. Yeah, sowhen they contact you they want to go
out, like who sets up wherethey're going and when? It's up to
them? But we will match themagain if you say if Riley says Friday,
and she tells us our criteria,like she wants to date man aged
twenty five to thirty five. She'slooking for people of you know, certain
criteria that she cares about. Willand she says to Friday, We're going

(35:15):
to match her up with other menwho meet that criteria and also say they
want to go out on Friday.And then once they start chatting, they
can decide do they in fact wantto go out and where do they want
to go? Roleig, come backto the microphone. What is your criteria
for men? What are you lookingfor? No? In the app?

(35:36):
Like, what's the criteria's app?Yeah, a job, that's kind of
it. What's the age range foryou? Oh? Under thirty? Yeah?
Would it be a deal breaker ifthey didn't pay the tab? Sometimes
I won't even like think to offer, like, I'll just be like,

(35:57):
oh, well, you asked meout, so pull out your wallet.
I like that, but it's Ifeel like that's not a deal breaker though.
No, Paul, you have anincredible track record, so I'm believing
in this U in this dating app. Lolo dot com. Did you,

she was going to get cold feetbefore the wedding, but I told her

(46:24):
as long as she had a hotmouth, this wedding was still going to
go down. Wrap up. Thereis a part of me all getting aside
that really thinks. Do you rememberhow weird Gary was at the proposal where
he initially led to Resa to believehe was walking away. He might do

(46:45):
that at the wedding. I thinkhe might when they say do you take
her to be? Or he mightsay, you know, I've given it
a lot of thought, and I'vedecided it's not time for me to get
married. That's just a prediction ofmine. Okay, I'm gonna throw it
out. So we got Riley onthe Golden Bachelor wedding tonight tomorrow morning.
