Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we've talked about this a few times on the
Billion Lisa Morning Show. My oldest son, Chris, is a
partner of Tom Brady's. They're in business together. They've got
a company called card Vault by Tom Brady, and they've
been opening stores all over the country and all this weekend,
including yesterday, they were opening a new card Vault in
the Hamptons.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And Chris is on the phone right now.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Hey, Chris, good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So I watch all of your posts on Instagram, and
I mean you and Tom like, do you like, are
you roommates now?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
On the road?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean everywhere he goes you go.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, we've just grown extremely close. Were dear dear personal friends.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, So you don't share a suite or somebody.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We do not share a suite, okay, not sharing beds,
We're not sharing sweets, we're not sharing showers, any of that.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Okay. But he does love Chris, I know, yeah, it.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Looks like it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So I watched all of your Instagram posts from the
Hamptons yesterday, the ribbon cutting and everything, and I was
kind of concerned because of the weather, you might not
get a big crowd, but you had a massive crowd
down there.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Honest to God, I've never seen anything like this. I
don't know if it was an act of God. But
we were supposed to get gale force winds. We were
supposed to get two inches of rain. It was supposed
to be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Tom pulls up and the skies parted, and it was
as if rays of shun light, sunlight shined down from
the heavens the second he walked into the room. It
was incredible. I've never seen anything like.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It, so it was like biblical.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
It was a biblical moment.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So I saw something was outside, so there was a
park nearby the store.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, So we set up this entire event. We had
a stage brought in the town of Easthampton. Was incredible.
They shut down the street or on Newtown Lane, which
is one of the main drag of East Hampton, and
the entire football team came out, the entire mayor's office
and town administrators came out, and thousands of people came out.
And originally or initially there was rain, so thousands of
(02:05):
people are standing outside in the rain waiting for Tom. Wow,
and then the skies parted. We made our way over
to the stage. Tom threw out about one hundred footballs
into the crowd in signing hats, signing jerseys, and it
was it was insane. And we made our way from
the stage down Newtown Lane almost like a parade with
(02:25):
the football team and it was like a sea of
people moving to the new store and wow, made our
way over to cut the.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Ribbon again that was biblical.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But if we can back up for just a second,
the Hamptons have a football team.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They do they do, and the quarterback is number twelve.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No way, no, did he just wear that for the
day because Brady was there?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Or no he did? And I turned around. So the
football team came up on stage with us, and I asked,
you know, in front of the crowd, where's the quarterback?
Where's the quarterback? And this kid raises his hand he's
number twelve, And I go, what's your name? And I'm
getting ready for him to say Tom, it's THEO say
you pull him out and he starts throwing footballs with
Tom into the crowd. It was a pretty great moment.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Now, how I mean, you played youth sports, high school sports,
college sports. How exciting must it be for these young
players to be sharing a stage with the goat.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, it's it's funny. The two captains of the football
team came into the store a week ago when we
were getting things ready for a soft open, and they
basically volunteered their helps. They were like, anything we can do,
anything we can do to help, We'd love to be there.
We love Tom. And keep in mind this is in
New York. We're in New York, and you know, Tom
(03:42):
for a long time was hated in New York. But
it goes to show how Tom's image in the world
has changed post football, and he's become a lot more
than just a New England quarterback or a Tampa Bay quarterback.
But the football team shows up, they ask him off
of their help, so we basically use them as Tom's
guards during the walk and wow Rad So they circled
(04:04):
around Tom in their high school uniforms and they helped
kind of move us through the crowd. It was pretty great.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And Robert Kraft was there right.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Robert Kraft came down, Michael Ruben came down, all the
all the Hampton's regulars.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So let me get this straight.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This is my child, Chris costa At actually cutting the
ribbon with Robert Kraft and Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I know, Billy, Yeah, I don't really know what's happening.
It's pretty surreal.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So I gotta ask you, as my son, are you
as thrilled as I am for you?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I still can't figure out what's happening. It's a pretty
wild situation and surreal moment. So, I mean, you know me,
I grew up worshiping Tom. You know what, the Patriots
win six of their championships. Nobody was a bigger and
is a bigger Tom Brady fan than me. And yeah,
here we are. We're partners. So it's a pretty wild situation.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Well, you came up with an amazing concept and you
work so hard, so this makes sense. I'm so happy
for you.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Here we are, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And for the sake of those people that don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Card Vault is a trading card company and it I mean,
we all did it as kids. Lord knows, I don't
know where the boxes and boxes of trading cards are,
but you really exploded with it during the pandemic, right.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, well five years ago when we went when we
started this company, and even before that, when I was
you know, heavily collecting and going to trade shows, around
the country. People thought I was insane, right baseball cards,
didn't those die years ago? But no, the industry's back,
and it's been back, and it's stronger than ever and
it's here to stay. And yeah, over the past five years,
(05:48):
like Lisa said, it's just that we came up with
a great idea. We built a great business. We have
a great team, and Tom saw that and wanted to
be a part of it. And here we are. We're
opening a store a month until we get to one.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Hundred a month. So what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Uh, it looks like we're going to probably and I'm
not allowed to say this, but you know what, what
the hell?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Igo was likely going to be next?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Wendy City, that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Wrigley Field.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now I have to ask you, by the way, we
had Randy, your other partner, on the show recently. He
told me you were really mad at me because I
haven't been to an opening yet.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I mean, you listen, you know Randy. He's like a
fire poker. All he's trying to do is ruin everything
around us.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, so you're not mad at your father yet, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Not mad at my father. Now I will say, you know,
the Hamptons does have a beautiful marina. You know, the
boat should be here this week, and it would have
been nice to stay on the boat during this entire event.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, it would have been a really nice cruise to
the Hampton's this week.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, a father, You know, I might not have had
a father after this weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm not cruising to the Hamptons
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
When is the Miami?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, we want to know Miami because I had a
personal invite from Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah. Yeah, Miami should be before the end of the year,
and we might even have two before the end of
the year down there, so well, we'll.

but we show live from Miami.
Speaker 4 (07:12):

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Right, chances are somewhere in the building.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, I thought you went home. Honestly I did once.
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I just got in the car and left. That was
thinking the show was over.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And then I had kiss on in the car and
you guys are saying, where's Billy?
Speaker 5 (09:16):

Speaker 8 (09:17):
You're like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (09:18):

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Did you turn around and come back? Did you just
go home?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Next time, I want to leave earlier. I'm going to
pull that. Oh I thought the show was over?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well, because it was, you had one more break?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
And that was we actually did it once.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I had my coat on and I was walking out,
and so he's like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Where are you going?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Way do you go? There's Billy?
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy copst justin.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Let's go right there. It's new music Friday. Give us
some new stuff to listen.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
To, all right? You know, new music drops every single Friday.
You'll hear it first right here on Kiss Want to Wait?
And Joe Jonas dropped off a new album, a new song,
the single, the lead single is called Honey Blonde. We
played it earlier, was still the verdict stell out on
it now.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Is Joe the one married to Priyanka?
Speaker 6 (10:00):
No, he's always confused those two, so he's divorced. He
was with the girl in Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner. Yeah,
remember they had that big falling out and she was
I think running on him.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, she always seemed a little cranky. Never trusted her.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Got the third brother. What's it Andrew?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Nope, that's Kevin.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, Kevin.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Kevin is married as two children. His wife is not
in the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Is he doing anything musically?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
He is part of the Jonas going on tour this summer,
so that's what he's doing musically. August twenty third, it's Andrew. No,
it's Kevin.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh you know what you know, it's Kevin. They have
another brother though, frankly Frankie.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But imagine if Kevin went on tour and someone else
was the guitarist.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
That would kind of prove my point.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I don't think anyone would notice. He is playing the guitar.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Stop Kevin's name, what else she got in there?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Just Benson Moone has a brand new song for his mama.
So he called it, well, the Mama Song.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Probably should have released it before Mother's Day.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Probably, Yeah, I mean he started teasing it around then,
but yeah, he loves his mom.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Your Mama so fat.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
She sat on a quarter and a booger popped out
of George Washington's nose.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
So special and Bill so easy.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Your mama so fat. The National Weather Service gives a
name to each one of her farts. That's so gross,
so gross, And I think it's great.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, my favorite song of the week collaboration Alex Warren, who,
by the way, has a beautiful voice and jelly roll.
They've been teasing it for a few weeks. The song
is called Bloodline.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Sound a little Mumford and a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah. I am liking it. I like it very I
liked it when they teased it, and I like the
studio version.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah me too. Yeah, is that it?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Brother? I mean, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, I never want jokes.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Your mama is so fat.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
She put on some dd ds and by the time
she got them home, they spelled boulevard.
Speaker 5 (12:04):

Speaker 2 (12:06):
They expanded, put the bowl forward, and.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's all right, it's Bill got it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):

We're back with Villie and Lisa in the morning on
Kiss one o eight guys.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
So welcome back.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
So just recently, right Lisa on the show, we kicked
off a new Friday segment.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We call it the Great Food Drop.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
And this week, my really really dear friends, the Ballot
of Sisters are here from Nebo in Boston.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Hello ladies, Hello, Hi.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I want to say at the outset every time I
have you on TV on Dining Playbork or Meat Boston,
I have to make it clear to everybody I'm not
responsible for anything that happens or anything that is said
over the.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Next several minutes.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, you guys have good stories today.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, well you brought a beautiful charcuterie for the Memorial
Day weekend.
Speaker 13 (19:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
We did Italian style because normally in Italy what they
do is they have a thin, thin sandwich with some
with a dolla and maybe some brata. That's the breakfast. Sure,
we tend to do that at home too, with a
homemade tomato GM and a pepperinatta.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So that's who doesn't love a good pepperanatta. My wife
and I had one the other day and she couldn't
believe it.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, no, you guys bring that out in me. I
don't know what it is, but everything starts to get crazy.
So Nebo, I know, you're pretty much very close to
the Intercontinental Hotel. What's the actual address? We're right five
make sure you talk right into the microphones.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Yeah, five twenty Atlantic Ev.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay, in Boston. And it's a huge building you're in
and the restaurant. The restaurant is a big space.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
It is. We have about one hundred and eighty seats inside,
maybe seventy five seats outside. We were originally in the
North End and the landlord tripled ourment. We got very
successful there and he was like, okay, time to triple
their rent. So we moved in. We're on Atlantic av
and the space is beautiful. We're right next door to
the Intercontinental Hotel. The good thing is we have a
(20:43):
garage to eighty Congress Street.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You can pack it's underground.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Ten dollars for three hours. You can pack its twelve
dollars all day on Saturdays and Sundays, and.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You never go outside because you come up, cut up
through the the elevators and then you walk right into
the lobby and into your door.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
So the packing is great. And then if you want
to Vala, the intercontinentals right next door and we just
send people next door to them to val A.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I do that.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's easy to take the car for an hour.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yeah, that's a very easy.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But I'm glad you brought up the North End because
that's where it all started. And you, at the time
were known as the official restaurant of the Boston Celtics.
I remember that, and the Bruins and the Bruins and
why not before the game after they get packed.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
We were just talking about that on the way here,
because it's twenty years. We're making twenty years June fifth,
and we're talking about all the great experiences we had
and we're still friends with them. Bill Russell used to
when he was alive, come to Boston, call my mother.
Their birthday is one month a pot exactly. He would
have been the same age as my mother ninety one.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Still you know bothers with her. Ray Allen calls us
his son's going to school in Boston. So he comes,
they come to the rest and they come see us.
I mean his son is now in college they were babies.
We used Wow, have all the babies on our laps
and it's family? Is they do? They still call us
Randy Garnett sends us Christmas cards and I mean it's amazing. Yeah, yeah,
(22:06):
it's all of them em al Co.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Now the guys have walked in. Uh he did the
front door. I'm guessing yes they did.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
And I'll tell you a great story. We won the
championship when we were in the North End Celtics one.
We call it we of course, and we're closing up.
It's three thirty in the morning. We're done for the night.
We had a great celebration and three thirty I see
this big limo pull up and we're like, who is this?
(22:34):
And outcomes Ray Allen and we opened the door and
we're like, Ray, Ray, what are you doing here? And
he's like, I have to tell you. I just wanted
to come over and congratulate you. I'm so happy that
your business did so great during the season. You had
all of us here like family, you welcomed us, and
he just won a championship and he's congratulating us.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Wow, a great he was in his championship limo.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
It's amazing. But yeah, they all keep in touch.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
They all something else.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I remember very early when you opened in the North
end of Jenny and I brought the TV cameras, the
TV diner cameras in it with the previous show, and
we were there specifically to talk about your gluten free menu.
And I remember this because no one at the time
even knew with gluten free men. Nobody was talking about
(23:22):
gluten free. And now it's everywhere. My wife is gluten free.
Oh really, yeah, and I always tell her, no, you
guys were the only ones with a complete menu.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Yes, and we're actually probably still one of the only
places that does. You know, you can get a steak
gluten free. You can get a piece of fish. But
we converted ninety percent of Italian menu into gluten free.
I mean you can get seafood, platt as, you can
get pasta, you can get pizza. And it's not a
lot of places do one night a week. This is
(23:51):
six days, six nights.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
You can't tell the difference.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
We do veo, milanise, chicken, lamar dishea. The biggest thing
when we started was because a friend of us said
he was gluten free. We didn't know what it was,
so we researched it, was going to do it for
him at home, and then decided to do it in
the restaurant. But the first thing we served him was
a fried seafood platter shrimp calamris. It's not so hard
to keep right, and we still do all this stuff.
(24:18):
So it's a really extensive menu. There's only three items
on our regular menu that we don't have on our
gluten free menu.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
You get your own menus so you don't feel uncomfortable
at the table.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
At the time people did who were gluten for because
nobody knew what it was.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
I was spelt awkward and they would be like, I'm
not going to eat. I've had guests come in and
say I'm not hungry, and then I'm like, by any
chance you selliac They're like yeah, I'm like, don't don't
worry aboudy, You're not got to stand out.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
We got youa wow.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
And neither one of you was gluten free now, so
this was like a tribute to those.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Friends were The funniest thing is if we needed a
product that used to come in a twenty five pound bag,
We're like, okay, I got a buy twenty five pound
bag for gluten free product because nobody was using it
at the time. Now it's like you can get small
bags everywhere for people at home, to you a hospitals,
the nutrition department for people because if we have the
(25:07):
you know, the gluten free menu.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
If you just tuned in, we're talking to the Pilata
sisters who own Nebo in Boston and they're celebrating their
twenty year anniversary. I got to ask you this no
tax on tips, how will it affect your business?
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Honestly, I mean for us, we want to see how
staff make more and more money. We just had a
three and a half hour meeting on Saturday talking to
them about what they have to do so that they
can grow their business. Because being a surfer is having
your own business. It's like when we were here addresses.
You can make as much as you want to make
by being good to guests, by hospitality, by service, and
(25:46):
so this is the things that we sat with them
and talking. We're happy for them. That's great.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Then again, I said it could backfire because they may
feel like, hey, I don't have to work, it's hot,
I'm still making a little more money, and my tips
on coming out.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
The costumer might say, Hey, I don't have to tip
them as much there I'm paying tax as they're not.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
I hope that doesn't happen.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
I just hope it works out for them because they
work so honestly too. Most of the people in this
field went through the whole COVID thing. We were closed
for fifteen months. A lot of these kids were saving
for school or to live on their own, and kind
of put them back, you know, back them up. So
we hope that back.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Us all the Yeah, now I love COVID.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I know you guys have had a floor seats for
the Celtics for years and years, some of the original
season ticket holders. Y.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Yeah, a lot of sus twenty three years.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Were you there for the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yes?
Speaker 10 (26:39):
Very sad.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
My mother woke up the morning after and she called
us at like seven of the money. I'm like, what's
the what's wrong?
Speaker 10 (26:47):
You are right? I don't know what I'm going to do?
What do you mean you don't know?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I don't know what I'm gonna do. Now that's my
life is going to these games.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
She was distraught. I'm like, I don't know. We'll find
something else to entertain you.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
I actually go to dinner with people before.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Sure, well it was a bigger than my friends. Yeah,
it's a.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
One's And if you're listening, I'm sure you've seen the
plot of families sitting in their floor seats at the
Celtics pretty much center court.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
But you're now on the other side, so they don't
see you on TV.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Now, thank god.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
Dress.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, you don't have to get your hair dying.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
It's the radio show't you know.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
My mother she can't walk through that place, get in
an elevator, she can't walk in the street with our
people stopping her because of the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, great for her ninety one years ninety one. We're
not going to tell the cemetery.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
Story ninety one and still cooking.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, something really odd happened to the cemetery with your mom,
But we're not going to go there. But you are
celebrating twenty years. So what do people need to know
going forward? Anything special going on for the celebration.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Well, we decided that this time we're not going to
do a celebration for the public and everything. We decided
to celebrate with the workers we have. Most of our
employees have been with us ten to twenty years.
Speaker 15 (27:56):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
So that was the thing that we're going to do
knock and wood. We're really lucky. But the biggest thing
we wanted people to know is we're tried and true.
You know, nothing has changed. The food is the same,
The same cooks have been there for years with us.
The service is still incredible, the hospitality. We don't slow down.
We just try to give the same to people every
(28:18):
single time they come, so they know what to expect
when they come in.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Okay, I got lazy.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm going to take you one at a time, and
I'm going to ask you, what's the one dish somebody's
coming into Nebo in Boston for the first time, Carla,
the one dish who insists they get.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
I would say that if anybody was going to come eat,
they should get the Chippano. Boston's known for the seafood.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That one and stand by, you're gonna have to have
another one.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Then everybody comes to Boston for seafood. So it's lobster, shrimp, calamarie,
scallops and mussels and a spicy tomato sauce with homemade
bost The bread.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
The bread.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Everybody comes to Boston they want lobsters and seafood.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, Christina, I know you're going to go with the
pin on. How you need a different one?
Speaker 10 (29:01):
I say the zucchini lasagna.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
We did a Bobby Flake thlowdown that we beat him
with a zucchini lasagna and that is our actually number
one selling dish.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
Awesome, So I would go with that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I would say, go this weekend. You're going to be
open all weekend?
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Right, We're not open on Sundays. We're upen Saturdays twelve
o'clock to twelve at night and the rest of the
week from eleven thirty to twelve at night.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Will you be open Monday? No, that's all.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
We're not, to be honest with you. We've thought about it,
but my staff works really hard, and one of the
things we promised when we first opened is that they
would never work Sundays. They all go to church and
we try to give them as many holidays off. They
work really, really hard, and so those are the days
we kind of skip.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Sunday's family Day. Okay, Saturday with the restaurants night with you?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
No, I know you started as hairdressers.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Do you still do each other's hair or like, look
at me right now, I have an appointment.
Speaker 10 (29:55):

a bow on it. Just wrap this thing up. Here's
what you missed on the show this morning. It looks
outside like it stopped raining, but it did rain for
twenty six hours straight. Yeah, we had an arista.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Talk about a washout.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Does anyone want to inform me about a sunk pump
and how to get one?
Speaker 8 (30:40):
What they're all about?
Speaker 15 (30:41):

Speaker 11 (31:48):

There's nothing better than steak tips and skittles.
Speaker 10 (31:55):
Baby, heyo, Okay, I need to meet this person.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Steak chips, and what's the skill?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
If you just asked?
Speaker 5 (32:04):
Is a piece of candy?
Speaker 6 (32:06):
There are brightly colored candies. They have sort of a
gummy like a gummy.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
Yeah, the kids love them like an eminem. But it's
like a hard candy chocolate.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Don't you know what a skittle is?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Why would I?
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Oh, you're not into the candy.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
You had three boys? Candy, that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
God, I love candy.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
One thing.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
I truly love gummy candy.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah, it's the candy.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Candy. Here, hould on another twenty pounds. Who cares we're

Speaker 4 (32:41):
That was when Michelle wanted candy one day because she

husband with your candy.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Here, hold on another twenty pounds, Who cares we're getting married?
Speaker 5 (32:55):
It was actually about his wife.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Okay, that's a doctored tape. That's what he does in there. Yeah,
I was here.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
I witnessed it.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Okay, I mean you should hear her after she got married.
Speaker 6 (33:07):
Just pumping and pumping, nothing nothing happening.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Well, she was full, she was come on, I think
she just fell off her chair. You don't have we
don't have much time off Jess before. He really doesn't
trying to get my role going here.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yeah go, I'm sorry.
Speaker 15 (33:32):
Craziest food combo ever. Since I was a kid, my
family and I would always have spaghetti with pickles. Oh,
not like pickles in the spaghetti, but the pickle on
the side, little salty.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
I love pickles spaghetti.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
No, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
We got so many more. You can listen to to
the topic time on the podcast if you want to
hear all the weird ones. And finally we had the
plot of sisters in earlier this hour from Nebo. You know,
check them out amazing Italian food.
Speaker 14 (34:04):
I cannot wait to try this restaurant, Nebo. I am
so excited that you brought this on your show today.
They them. Just listening to them talk is like giving
me so much comfort in the way they're so passionate
about their restaurant and their employees is really inspiring. I
(34:24):
have just watched that movie known as Oh Yeah. I
think that Nebo needs their own movie and their own story,
and someone needs to get on it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I've always said that about them. A lot of sap
and by the way, I should have said it when
they were in. They do amazing private functions and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Nebles to check that out.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Yeah, we do a new segment on Fridays, food Drop Fridays.
Billy is the food guy, you know, so it only
makes sense if you're going out this weekend and give
you some recommendations. But we're got to get out of
here because Bill's got to go home.
So we've talked about this a few times on the
Billion Lisa Morning Show. My oldest son, Chris, is a
partner of Tom Brady's. They're in business together. They've got
a company called card Vault by Tom Brady, and they've
been opening stores all over the country and all this weekend,
including yesterday, they were opening a new card Vault in
the Hamptons.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
And Chris is on the phone right now.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Hey, Chris, good morning everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
So I watch all of your posts on Instagram, and
I mean you and Tom like, do you like, are
you roommates now?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
On the road?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I mean everywhere he goes you go.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, we've just grown extremely close. Were dear dear personal friends.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, So you don't share a suite or somebody.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
We do not share a suite, okay, not sharing beds,
We're not sharing sweets, we're not sharing showers, any of that.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Okay. But he does love Chris, I know, yeah, it.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Looks like it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So I watched all of your Instagram posts from the
Hamptons yesterday, the ribbon cutting and everything, and I was
kind of concerned because of the weather, you might not
get a big crowd, but you had a massive crowd
down there.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Honest to God, I've never seen anything like this. I
don't know if it was an act of God. But
we were supposed to get gale force winds. We were
supposed to get two inches of rain. It was supposed
to be a disaster.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Tom pulls up and the skies parted, and it was
as if rays of shun light, sunlight shined down from
the heavens the second he walked into the room. It
was incredible. I've never seen anything like.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It, so it was like biblical.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
It was a biblical moment.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
So I saw something was outside, so there was a
park nearby the store.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, So we set up this entire event. We had
a stage brought in the town of Easthampton. Was incredible.
They shut down the street or on Newtown Lane, which
is one of the main drag of East Hampton, and
the entire football team came out, the entire mayor's office
and town administrators came out, and thousands of people came out.
And originally or initially there was rain, so thousands of
(02:05):
people are standing outside in the rain waiting for Tom. Wow,
and then the skies parted. We made our way over
to the stage. Tom threw out about one hundred footballs
into the crowd in signing hats, signing jerseys, and it
was it was insane. And we made our way from
the stage down Newtown Lane almost like a parade with
(02:25):
the football team and it was like a sea of
people moving to the new store and wow, made our
way over to cut the.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Ribbon again that was biblical.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
But if we can back up for just a second,
the Hamptons have a football team.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
They do they do, and the quarterback is number twelve.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No way, no, did he just wear that for the
day because Brady was there?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Or no he did? And I turned around. So the
football team came up on stage with us, and I asked,
you know, in front of the crowd, where's the quarterback?
Where's the quarterback? And this kid raises his hand he's
number twelve, And I go, what's your name? And I'm
getting ready for him to say Tom, it's THEO say
you pull him out and he starts throwing footballs with
Tom into the crowd. It was a pretty great moment.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Now, how I mean, you played youth sports, high school sports,
college sports. How exciting must it be for these young
players to be sharing a stage with the goat.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, it's it's funny. The two captains of the football
team came into the store a week ago when we
were getting things ready for a soft open, and they
basically volunteered their helps. They were like, anything we can do,
anything we can do to help, We'd love to be there.
We love Tom. And keep in mind this is in
New York. We're in New York, and you know, Tom
(03:42):
for a long time was hated in New York. But
it goes to show how Tom's image in the world
has changed post football, and he's become a lot more
than just a New England quarterback or a Tampa Bay quarterback.
But the football team shows up, they ask him off
of their help, so we basically use them as Tom's
guards during the walk and wow Rad So they circled
(04:04):
around Tom in their high school uniforms and they helped
kind of move us through the crowd. It was pretty great.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
And Robert Kraft was there right.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Robert Kraft came down, Michael Ruben came down, all the
all the Hampton's regulars.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So let me get this straight.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
This is my child, Chris costa At actually cutting the
ribbon with Robert Kraft and Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I know, Billy, Yeah, I don't really know what's happening.
It's pretty surreal.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
So I gotta ask you, as my son, are you
as thrilled as I am for you?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I still can't figure out what's happening. It's a pretty
wild situation and surreal moment. So, I mean, you know me,
I grew up worshiping Tom. You know what, the Patriots
win six of their championships. Nobody was a bigger and
is a bigger Tom Brady fan than me. And yeah,
here we are. We're partners. So it's a pretty wild situation.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
Well, you came up with an amazing concept and you
work so hard, so this makes sense. I'm so happy
for you.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Here we are, yep.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And for the sake of those people that don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Card Vault is a trading card company and it I mean,
we all did it as kids. Lord knows, I don't
know where the boxes and boxes of trading cards are,
but you really exploded with it during the pandemic, right.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, well five years ago when we went when we
started this company, and even before that, when I was
you know, heavily collecting and going to trade shows, around
the country. People thought I was insane, right baseball cards,
didn't those die years ago? But no, the industry's back,
and it's been back, and it's stronger than ever and
it's here to stay. And yeah, over the past five years,
(05:48):
like Lisa said, it's just that we came up with
a great idea. We built a great business. We have
a great team, and Tom saw that and wanted to
be a part of it. And here we are. We're
opening a store a month until we get to one.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Hundred a month. So what's next?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Uh, it looks like we're going to probably and I'm
not allowed to say this, but you know what, what
the hell?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
What the hell?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Igo was likely going to be next?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Wendy City, that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Wrigley Field.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Now I have to ask you, by the way, we
had Randy, your other partner, on the show recently. He
told me you were really mad at me because I
haven't been to an opening yet.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I mean, you listen, you know Randy. He's like a
fire poker. All he's trying to do is ruin everything
around us.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Okay, so you're not mad at your father yet, I'm.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Not mad at my father. Now I will say, you know,
the Hamptons does have a beautiful marina. You know, the
boat should be here this week, and it would have
been nice to stay on the boat during this entire event.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, it would have been a really nice cruise to
the Hampton's this week.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, a father, You know, I might not have had
a father after this weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm not cruising to the Hamptons
this weekend.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
When is the Miami?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yes, we want to know Miami because I had a
personal invite from Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah. Yeah, Miami should be before the end of the year,
and we might even have two before the end of
the year down there, so well, we'll.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
All be there, right Billy, Oh, we're all going to Miami,
but we show live from Miami.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Are we all invited?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
The second you get eighty degrees? Sonny Spas, Yeah, of
course everybody's coming.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Now, christ I told you dad to go to the
hampton for weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You need to stay out of it.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
That was hand.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
This is family talk here.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yes, it's Memorial Day weekend. I'm sure he's already told you.
It's one of the biggest voting weekends.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Chris, Chris, the weather is bats you know what that
means he's been a grump all week long.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, well, because the Memorial Day weekend is shot. Like
I mean, I don't even want to wake up all weekend.
I just want to sleep all weekend and pretend it
didn't happen. Hey, by the way, did you cash in
on my baby Bruce card yet?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh? My godness, it's worth six dollars. I'll give you
the fill.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay, I want my five bucks.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Then no, you know he sold it for like twenty
thousand or something, and he's gonna tell me it went
for five bucks. Son, Chris, I am so proud of you,
and we're all so proud of you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And uh, well, thanks for waking up. I know you've

mister Bill Costa.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Hello, I'm Sorry, what up?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Said the microphone.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well, you know we're sitting right outside the studio.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Wouldn't kill you, Winnie. I opened the door and say, oh,
we have forty seconds.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
It was working. I looked up and I was like,
where are you guys?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Right, chances are somewhere in the building.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, I thought you went home. Honestly I did once.
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I just got in the car and left. That was
thinking the show was over.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And then I had kiss on in the car and
you guys are saying, where's Billy?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I called you.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
You're like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
God, was that weird?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Did you turn around and come back? Did you just
go home?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Next time, I want to leave earlier. I'm going to
pull that. Oh I thought the show was over?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well, because it was, you had one more break?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
And that was we actually did it once.
Speaker 6 (09:29):
I had my coat on and I was walking out,
and so he's like.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Where are you going?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Way do you go? There's Billy?
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy copst justin.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Let's go right there. It's new music Friday. Give us
some new stuff to listen.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
To, all right? You know, new music drops every single Friday.
You'll hear it first right here on Kiss Want to Wait?
And Joe Jonas dropped off a new album, a new song,
the single, the lead single is called Honey Blonde. We
played it earlier, was still the verdict stell out on
it now.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Is Joe the one married to Priyanka?
Speaker 6 (10:00):
No, he's always confused those two, so he's divorced. He
was with the girl in Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner. Yeah,
remember they had that big falling out and she was
I think running on him.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, she always seemed a little cranky. Never trusted her.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Got the third brother. What's it Andrew?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Nope, that's Kevin.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, Kevin.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Kevin is married as two children. His wife is not
in the.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Is he doing anything musically?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
He is part of the Jonas going on tour this summer,
so that's what he's doing musically. August twenty third, it's Andrew. No,
it's Kevin.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh you know what you know, it's Kevin. They have
another brother though, frankly Frankie.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But imagine if Kevin went on tour and someone else
was the guitarist.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
That would kind of prove my point.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I don't think anyone would notice. He is playing the guitar.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Stop Kevin's name, what else she got in there?
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Just Benson Moone has a brand new song for his mama.
So he called it, well, the Mama Song.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Probably should have released it before Mother's Day.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Probably, Yeah, I mean he started teasing it around then,
but yeah, he loves his mom.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Your Mama so fat.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
She sat on a quarter and a booger popped out
of George Washington's nose.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
So special and Bill so easy.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Your mama so fat. The National Weather Service gives a
name to each one of her farts. That's so gross,
so gross, And I think it's great.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, my favorite song of the week collaboration Alex Warren, who,
by the way, has a beautiful voice and jelly roll.
They've been teasing it for a few weeks. The song
is called Bloodline.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Sound a little Mumford and a little bit.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Yeah. I am liking it. I like it very I
liked it when they teased it, and I like the
studio version.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah me too. Yeah, is that it?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Brother? I mean, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Well, I never want jokes.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Your mama is so fat.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
She put on some dd ds and by the time
she got them home, they spelled boulevard.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
I don't get that one.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
They expanded, put the bowl forward, and.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
It's all right, it's Bill got it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Listen, it's a Friday show. Okay. How come producer Riley
doesn't laugh at them?
Speaker 10 (12:18):

So just recently, right Lisa on the show, we kicked

Speaker 2 (19:00):
We call it the Great Food Drop.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
And this week, my really really dear friends, the Ballot
of Sisters are here from Nebo in Boston.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Hello ladies, Hello, Hi.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I want to say at the outset every time I
have you on TV on Dining Playbork or Meat Boston,
I have to make it clear to everybody I'm not
responsible for anything that happens or anything that is said
over the.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Next several minutes.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
Yeah, you guys have good stories today.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, well you brought a beautiful charcuterie for the Memorial
Day weekend.
Speaker 13 (19:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:32):
We did Italian style because normally in Italy what they
do is they have a thin, thin sandwich with some
with a dolla and maybe some brata. That's the breakfast. Sure,
we tend to do that at home too, with a
homemade tomato GM and a pepperinatta.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
So that's who doesn't love a good pepperanatta. My wife
and I had one the other day and she couldn't
believe it.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Okay, no, you guys bring that out in me. I
don't know what it is, but everything starts to get crazy.
So Nebo, I know, you're pretty much very close to
the Intercontinental Hotel. What's the actual address? We're right five
make sure you talk right into the microphones.
Speaker 10 (20:14):
Yeah, five twenty Atlantic Ev.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay, in Boston. And it's a huge building you're in
and the restaurant. The restaurant is a big space.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
It is. We have about one hundred and eighty seats inside,
maybe seventy five seats outside. We were originally in the
North End and the landlord tripled ourment. We got very
successful there and he was like, okay, time to triple
their rent. So we moved in. We're on Atlantic av
and the space is beautiful. We're right next door to
the Intercontinental Hotel. The good thing is we have a
(20:43):
garage to eighty Congress Street.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You can pack it's underground.
Speaker 8 (20:47):
Ten dollars for three hours. You can pack its twelve
dollars all day on Saturdays and Sundays, and.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You never go outside because you come up, cut up
through the the elevators and then you walk right into
the lobby and into your door.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
So the packing is great. And then if you want
to Vala, the intercontinentals right next door and we just
send people next door to them to val A.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I do that.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's easy to take the car for an hour.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
Yeah, that's a very easy.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
But I'm glad you brought up the North End because
that's where it all started. And you, at the time
were known as the official restaurant of the Boston Celtics.
I remember that, and the Bruins and the Bruins and
why not before the game after they get packed.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
We were just talking about that on the way here,
because it's twenty years. We're making twenty years June fifth,
and we're talking about all the great experiences we had
and we're still friends with them. Bill Russell used to
when he was alive, come to Boston, call my mother.
Their birthday is one month a pot exactly. He would
have been the same age as my mother ninety one.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Still you know bothers with her. Ray Allen calls us
his son's going to school in Boston. So he comes,
they come to the rest and they come see us.
I mean his son is now in college they were babies.

and it's family? Is they do? They still call us
Randy Garnett sends us Christmas cards and I mean it's amazing. Yeah, yeah,
(22:06):
it's all of them em al Co.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Now the guys have walked in. Uh he did the
front door. I'm guessing yes they did.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
And I'll tell you a great story. We won the
championship when we were in the North End Celtics one.
We call it we of course, and we're closing up.
It's three thirty in the morning. We're done for the night.
We had a great celebration and three thirty I see
this big limo pull up and we're like, who is this?
(22:34):
And outcomes Ray Allen and we opened the door and
we're like, Ray, Ray, what are you doing here? And
he's like, I have to tell you. I just wanted
to come over and congratulate you. I'm so happy that
your business did so great during the season. You had
all of us here like family, you welcomed us, and
he just won a championship and he's congratulating us.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Wow, a great he was in his championship limo.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
It's amazing. But yeah, they all keep in touch.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
They all something else.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I remember very early when you opened in the North
end of Jenny and I brought the TV cameras, the
TV diner cameras in it with the previous show, and
we were there specifically to talk about your gluten free menu.
And I remember this because no one at the time
even knew with gluten free men. Nobody was talking about
(23:22):
gluten free. And now it's everywhere. My wife is gluten free.
Oh really, yeah, and I always tell her, no, you
guys were the only ones with a complete menu.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
Yes, and we're actually probably still one of the only
places that does. You know, you can get a steak
gluten free. You can get a piece of fish. But
we converted ninety percent of Italian menu into gluten free.
I mean you can get seafood, platt as, you can
get pasta, you can get pizza. And it's not a
lot of places do one night a week. This is
(23:51):
six days, six nights.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
You can't tell the difference.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
We do veo, milanise, chicken, lamar dishea. The biggest thing
when we started was because a friend of us said
he was gluten free. We didn't know what it was,
so we researched it, was going to do it for
him at home, and then decided to do it in
the restaurant. But the first thing we served him was
a fried seafood platter shrimp calamris. It's not so hard
to keep right, and we still do all this stuff.
(24:18):
So it's a really extensive menu. There's only three items
on our regular menu that we don't have on our
gluten free menu.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
You get your own menus so you don't feel uncomfortable
at the table.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
At the time people did who were gluten for because
nobody knew what it was.
Speaker 9 (24:31):
I was spelt awkward and they would be like, I'm
not going to eat. I've had guests come in and
say I'm not hungry, and then I'm like, by any
chance you selliac They're like yeah, I'm like, don't don't
worry aboudy, You're not got to stand out.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
We got youa wow.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
And neither one of you was gluten free now, so
this was like a tribute to those.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
Friends were The funniest thing is if we needed a
product that used to come in a twenty five pound bag,
We're like, okay, I got a buy twenty five pound
bag for gluten free product because nobody was using it
at the time. Now it's like you can get small
bags everywhere for people at home, to you a hospitals,
the nutrition department for people because if we have the
(25:07):
you know, the gluten free menu.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
If you just tuned in, we're talking to the Pilata
sisters who own Nebo in Boston and they're celebrating their
twenty year anniversary. I got to ask you this no
tax on tips, how will it affect your business?
Speaker 8 (25:24):
Honestly, I mean for us, we want to see how
staff make more and more money. We just had a
three and a half hour meeting on Saturday talking to
them about what they have to do so that they
can grow their business. Because being a surfer is having
your own business. It's like when we were here addresses.
You can make as much as you want to make
by being good to guests, by hospitality, by service, and
(25:46):
so this is the things that we sat with them
and talking. We're happy for them. That's great.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Then again, I said it could backfire because they may
feel like, hey, I don't have to work, it's hot,
I'm still making a little more money, and my tips
on coming out.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
The costumer might say, Hey, I don't have to tip
them as much there I'm paying tax as they're not.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
I hope that doesn't happen.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
I just hope it works out for them because they
work so honestly too. Most of the people in this
field went through the whole COVID thing. We were closed
for fifteen months. A lot of these kids were saving
for school or to live on their own, and kind
of put them back, you know, back them up. So
we hope that back.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Us all the Yeah, now I love COVID.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I know you guys have had a floor seats for
the Celtics for years and years, some of the original
season ticket holders. Y.
Speaker 8 (26:33):
Yeah, a lot of sus twenty three years.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Were you there for the playoffs?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Yes?
Speaker 10 (26:39):
Very sad.
Speaker 9 (26:41):
My mother woke up the morning after and she called
us at like seven of the money. I'm like, what's
the what's wrong?
Speaker 10 (26:47):
You are right? I don't know what I'm going to do?
What do you mean you don't know?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I don't know what I'm gonna do. Now that's my
life is going to these games.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
She was distraught. I'm like, I don't know. We'll find
something else to entertain you.
Speaker 8 (26:58):
I actually go to dinner with people before.
Speaker 10 (27:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Sure, well it was a bigger than my friends. Yeah,
it's a.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
One's And if you're listening, I'm sure you've seen the
plot of families sitting in their floor seats at the
Celtics pretty much center court.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
But you're now on the other side, so they don't
see you on TV.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
Now, thank god.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
Dress.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Yeah, you don't have to get your hair dying.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
It's the radio show't you know.
Speaker 9 (27:22):
My mother she can't walk through that place, get in
an elevator, she can't walk in the street with our
people stopping her because of the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Well, great for her ninety one years ninety one. We're
not going to tell the cemetery.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
Story ninety one and still cooking.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, something really odd happened to the cemetery with your mom,
But we're not going to go there. But you are
celebrating twenty years. So what do people need to know
going forward? Anything special going on for the celebration.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Well, we decided that this time we're not going to
do a celebration for the public and everything. We decided
to celebrate with the workers we have. Most of our
employees have been with us ten to twenty years.
Speaker 15 (27:56):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (27:57):
So that was the thing that we're going to do
knock and wood. We're really lucky. But the biggest thing
we wanted people to know is we're tried and true.
You know, nothing has changed. The food is the same,
The same cooks have been there for years with us.
The service is still incredible, the hospitality. We don't slow down.
We just try to give the same to people every
(28:18):
single time they come, so they know what to expect
when they come in.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
Okay, I got lazy.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm going to take you one at a time, and
I'm going to ask you, what's the one dish somebody's
coming into Nebo in Boston for the first time, Carla,
the one dish who insists they get.
Speaker 8 (28:32):
I would say that if anybody was going to come eat,
they should get the Chippano. Boston's known for the seafood.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
That one and stand by, you're gonna have to have
another one.
Speaker 8 (28:41):
Then everybody comes to Boston for seafood. So it's lobster, shrimp, calamarie,
scallops and mussels and a spicy tomato sauce with homemade
bost The bread.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
The bread.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Everybody comes to Boston they want lobsters and seafood.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, Christina, I know you're going to go with the
pin on. How you need a different one?
Speaker 10 (29:01):
I say the zucchini lasagna.
Speaker 9 (29:04):
We did a Bobby Flake thlowdown that we beat him
with a zucchini lasagna and that is our actually number
one selling dish.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
Awesome, So I would go with that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I would say, go this weekend. You're going to be
open all weekend?
Speaker 8 (29:15):
Right, We're not open on Sundays. We're upen Saturdays twelve
o'clock to twelve at night and the rest of the
week from eleven thirty to twelve at night.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Will you be open Monday? No, that's all.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
We're not, to be honest with you. We've thought about it,
but my staff works really hard, and one of the
things we promised when we first opened is that they
would never work Sundays. They all go to church and
we try to give them as many holidays off. They
work really, really hard, and so those are the days
we kind of skip.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Sunday's family Day. Okay, Saturday with the restaurants night with you?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
No, I know you started as hairdressers.
Speaker 1 (29:50):

gummy like a gummy.

I cannot wait to try this restaurant, Nebo. I am
so excited that you brought this on your show today.
They them. Just listening to them talk is like giving
me so much comfort in the way they're so passionate
about their restaurant and their employees is really inspiring. I
(34:24):
have just watched that movie known as Oh Yeah. I
think that Nebo needs their own movie and their own story,
and someone needs to get on it.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I've always said that about them. A lot of sap
and by the way, I should have said it when
they were in. They do amazing private functions and things
like that.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Nebles to check that out.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Yeah, we do a new segment on Fridays, food Drop Fridays.
Billy is the food guy, you know, so it only
makes sense if you're going out this weekend and give
you some recommendations. But we're got to get out of
here because Bill's got to go home.
