Speaker 1 (00:00):
So it just seems like cruises they are all over
the news, starting with that thing that happened in Disney Cruise,
which I was amazed at least when the girl fell
off the cruise and the father jumped right in.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah, that's exactly what happened, and they're both okay.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
I mean, you want to think that you would do
this as a parent, but this this dad was in
the moment. Oh yeah, right, daughter went into the ocean
and he jumped in and saved her.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's a man.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
He couldn't get to the life preserversus he was holding
on to his daughter.

Speaker 5 (00:27):
The ship was moving so quickly.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots and
seeing lost sight.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
Of them, it looks like there was the mother because
they were escorting her across the bit.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
They blocked off.

Speaker 6 (00:37):
The vic and I just saw her crying and I
just felt for her at that moment, and I just started.

Speaker 7 (00:42):
Playing that was a very thing that he did.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Everyone was cheering on the ship and the quick response
of Disney difference.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, they were out within minutes to get the dad
and the daughter out of the water. They still don't
know what happened, why the daughter went overboard.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's what always fascinates me when I see these stories
about cruise is how somebody went overboard. Do you know
how difficult it is to get overboard on a cruise?
The railings are very high. The Disney Cruise not only
has the high railings, but it has plexiglass, so it's
almost like you have to want to go overboard or something. Well,
I do know she was sitting on the top of

(01:20):
the rail.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:21):
The rumor is he put her up there for a selfie.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Oh that's lot. I don't want it.

Speaker 7 (01:26):
That's what I've been hearing on.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Do you know how lucky they are that she wasn't
killed on the way down?

Speaker 6 (01:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, she could have banged into the side of the
ship off the railing down below. I guess it was
on the third or fourth day.

Speaker 8 (01:37):
Yeah, it's a far fall.

Speaker 9 (01:38):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
They were also in the water for about thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Treading watery Disney did they assembled their yeah quickly to
help them.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
The seas are pretty rough too. You could see them
bobbing like little dots in the water. But an amazing story.

Speaker 10 (01:54):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
There's also the Poop Cruise, which is number one on Netflix.
I watched at least you watched it.

Speaker 8 (01:59):
Just watched it last night.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Insane. How disgusting that trip was.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
This was a huge story. I think it was in
twenty thirteen. And it's funny because in the documentary did
you see it did? Yeah? Because what's it? Less than
an hour fifty And a lot of the narration is
from brook Baldwin, who was an anchor on CNN. Whatever
happened to.

Speaker 8 (02:21):
Her, Well, she was a part of this story.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I mean, she knew this thing was big news and
it was the I think for CNN. I got the
most ratings of any story they've ever done.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, she had to talk to CNN into covering it,
and then all of a sudden it became the biggest
story in the country. Oh what a nasty situation that was.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Yeah, my wife wants to book a book a cruise
for twenty twenty six. We've never been on one, so.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
No, I think a cruise is great for your family,
the age of your kids right now. And yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Everyone loves them, I mean everybody says they're a good time.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Now, this next cruise I'm going to talk about justin
I don't think this is the one for you, and
your family hit me.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
They're launching an eleven day nude cruise in the Caribbean.
It's going to set sail from Miami in February on
board the Norwegian Pearl.

Speaker 8 (03:15):
What can I just ask why?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well, people like to be naked and and there are
a lot of activities. Justin and I were watching the video.
You can bowl, there's bowling, there's bochie.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Oh yeah, launch some old man growing bochie balls.

Speaker 8 (03:29):
That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Like, you go to a nude beach, there's one on
the vineyard. You don't want to see that.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah, no, No, I happened upon the nude beach by
accident once on the vineyard.

Speaker 8 (03:39):
I did too, and I was like, I can never
unsee that.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, because the people that are there are not the
people that should be there. Exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I'm on the website right now for this nude cruise
and it's deceiving. Some of the pictures are you know,
young attractive women and saunas, But then other pictures are
you know, I.

Speaker 8 (03:57):
Think those are stock photos.

Speaker 9 (03:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I think the sauna with the nude women, I think
that's an ad come get us one.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
They're bowling and the guy has the bowling ball in
front of his of course he does.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, I don't know about this. It's you know what
it is. It's twenty four to.

Speaker 8 (04:11):
Seven fun and there's something for everyone out there.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
And it's complete freedom. Just let it all hang out,
you know, complete freedom. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
The only cruise I want to go on is the
Billy Cruise.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
AARP and the Scooter Store probably.

Speaker 11 (04:26):

Like, yeah, Alan Gibley's gonna have cruisewear from Gibliy's Fine
men's clothing on board the Mystic River Cruise. It's gonna

like your uncle Mark Lisa, he loves cruises.

Speaker 8 (04:57):
He goes on They love them.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Four cruises a year, yeah, like for a month at
a time.

to l A.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, in the fall.

Speaker 8 (05:07):
He loves it.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
That's wild.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
And I think there is now a three or maybe
even a four year cruise around the world where you
basically buy a condo on the cruise ship if you're retiring.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
They said it makes sense financially, and yet you get
to see the entire world on a cruise.

Speaker 7 (05:23):
Ship left and owing to the old people's home.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, it probably is.

Speaker 8 (05:27):
It definitely is.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, maybe we'll book it.

Speaker 5 (05:29):
Remember the grond Cruise, Yeah, one and done.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, only one.

Speaker 8 (05:33):
It was one.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Well, there was speaking of the poop, the poop cruise.
There was a poop incident on the Grand Cruise.

Speaker 12 (05:41):
It was.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
There were rumors it was flow ride by the way,
Oh that was a scene.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
My nephew, DJ Costa was the DJ Grand Cruise.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Grudge party cruise in Miami.

Speaker 13 (05:54):
Ship.

Speaker 14 (05:55):
Okay, ladies, are you above average and willing to pay
big party with Dron's brother and his shirtless dad himselves.
He grabbed your money and head down to Miami where
the girls are probably easier than you.

Speaker 15 (06:09):
That's when the party boat is leaving. Sure, while on board,
you can enjoy getting hit on by his random brother.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
That's sexy.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
They got that sex bobby and everything.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
So they're the one that you should get f Tonight.

Speaker 15 (06:23):

in Miami.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Lost in It's Saint McCrae.

Speaker 17 (06:41):
And you're waking up with Billy and Lisa in the
morning on Kiss one Away.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Hy Lisa, Hey, guys, good morning, welcome back to the show.
Justin here. So I feel like cruises are all over
the news. We were just talking about this a few
minutes ago. Obviously, the big show on Netflix is the
Poop Cruise. There was a crazy Disney cruise story recently.
Just everyone's talking about cruises, including our listeners. Let's go
to Emily online. Two.

Speaker 18 (07:02):
Yeah, So I went on a cruise in twenty twenty,
and you had to be vaccinated. You had to test
negative to get on the ship. But three days in
I actually got COVID and they escorted me to the
basement of the ship. Awesome, to remain in the isolation
cabin for the remainder of this all all.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Now, did they serve you food or ending? How did
that work?

Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 18 (07:24):
So I had to get room service and at the
beginning when I got taken down there, was only about
ten people that had COVID, so room service was very prompt.
But by the end it was a third of the
ship and it was very difficult to get food and
they were running out of everything. So it didn't matter
what I ordered. They brought me whatever they had.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
When you say they took you down below, like what
were the accommodations.

Speaker 18 (07:49):
I mean it was still a bedroom with a bathroom,
but I went from having like a deck to just
a tiny little porthole window. And when we pulled up
to the different docks, my friends were still able to
get off and they would come and wave to me
in the window.

Speaker 19 (08:05):
Oh my god, in quarantine, right, you know, we're going
a little trip, like a cooking class or something.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
And that's like Billy's little cousin growing up. He had
polio and he would be stuck in the house and
Billy would go by and wave in the window.

Speaker 18 (08:25):
Yeah wow, the screaming get me out of here. This
is I mean, you couldn't leave. You you were locked
into your room and they were checking on you every day.
There were security guards in the hallway making sure that
you weren't leaving, and their people.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
You were underguard. Was you were basically taken into custody.

Speaker 18 (08:43):
Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Did you get money back?

Speaker 18 (08:47):
Yeah, the entire thing was free, and then any changes
to my flights home, and they did put me up
in a hotel for another couple of days before I
could fly home, because they at that point it was
the ten day cod shame.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
So, but that's interesting that they wouldn't let you off
the ship if you just wanted to like leave and
then get home on your own.

Speaker 18 (09:08):
Because we were in different countries.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah, it's their responsibility, and you were in a different
country I hadn't forbid. Yeah, it's remember.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
How crazy all the early COVID days.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, what were your symptoms like, by the way, probably
like a bad cold or something.

Speaker 18 (09:21):
Right, it was a bad cold. Honestly, I've had worse
cold than that.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Of course. Yeah, yep, COVID nineteen, thank you.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
I do remember the early days of COVID nineteen.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
God, it was such crazy.

Speaker 9 (09:38):
On a cruise night one a woman and her boyfriend
just gotten in the argument.

Speaker 20 (09:43):
She decided to jump off the top deck.

Speaker 9 (09:46):
We had to stop the cruise for a forty eight hours,
I think, to look for her. Around the forty hour mark,
a barge called and found her asleep on the bed
of seaweed, completely climbed. Used to say, I will never
go on they cruise again, but it has made for
a good truth of a lot.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Boy, this is a hearty gal. So she managed to
find a bit of seaweed and justlide on it.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
And wow, that's that's a miracle.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
That's a book. She should write a book. Wow. See.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
But some of these things, like on cruise, any vacation
can go bad, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, happened.
You can't control that.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Yeah, you could be taken. You can be putting the
hole down below.

Speaker 8 (10:27):
Deck, cutting the hole.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, literally, good morning.

Speaker 21 (10:31):
I went on a cruise about ten years ago for
work and we had a great time. Went to five
or six islands and the Caribbean. It was so so great.
And the final night we were there, we were coming
back from being out. It was about two am and
there were people in haf met suits sprang down the halls.

Speaker 20 (10:51):
So that was fun.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Wow was it COVID what happened there? Or someone died
maybe or somebody let loose?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Oh boy, could be Yeah, crazy things happen on the cruise.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yeah, I can't wait to go in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Well, if you think about it, there's like four thousand
people on ah contained something's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, good morning.

Speaker 22 (11:15):
My kid is in the background watching me propatrol. Anyways,
all of this cruise stuff is just like further like
validating my irrational fear of cruises, and like weird contagions,
and like I don't understand like the allure of a
floating resort in the middle of the ocean. It just
doesn't make any sense to me.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's just I have to say as a person. My
uncle loves them, and I always ask him this question,
why do you love me? He's like, because you can
see so many different cities and you don't have.

Speaker 8 (11:44):
To worry about air travel.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's just a really easy way to see a lot
all at once.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I canna tell you, I've been on several cruises. It's
always nice. It's cool, and you're right, you do see
a lot of different ports of call.

Speaker 8 (11:56):
And plus there's something for everyone.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
So if you have little kids, yeah, they've got fun games,
and then there's stuff for the adults.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'm going. I'm going because you know, if anything does
happen to make for their for a good topic on
the show. Oh god, like that nightmare? Yeah, like, yeah, no,
you got to go. Your kids are the perfect days
to go on one of those cruises. Now, family cruise.
You know, I'm telling you they will take the kids
all day.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah. What about a news nude cruise?

Speaker 16 (12:21):
Good morning, morning crew, a nude cruise?

Speaker 7 (12:25):
Okay.

Speaker 18 (12:26):
I have been on a lot of cruises, and trust me,
you do not want to.

Speaker 23 (12:31):
See those people naked. Okay, anyway, that's.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Just my Okay, she's kind of generalizing cruise people.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Well, a new cruise is kicking off in February. It's
going to be leaving out of Miami. So if you're
into that being nude, and you can.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Eleven days by the way, yeah, if you're a nudist.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
And they have all the activities.

Speaker 8 (12:49):
I mean again, is there a call for this?

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh, you'd be surprised. Yeah. There are nudist colonies everywhere.
There are people who love being naked.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
The bowling dude thing is a little a little weird
to me, a little weird body movements to do while
you're naked.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Well, I don't want to sit across from somebody naked
in asana.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
No, Yeah, you know, they make it look really nice
on the website, though, it's like, you know, all these
beautiful women, they.

Speaker 8 (13:14):
Don't look stock photos like this.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Okay, they don't eat. First of all, they're eating twenty
four hours a day on the cruise. Oh, you get
to non stop buffets, like you have to imagine. They
have an all you can eat buffet after dinner, and
then there's another one after the all you can eat
buffet that follows dinner. There's a midnight all you can

(13:38):
eat buffet. All you do is gorge. That's like Billy's
worst nightmare. You couldn't pay me to go on a cruise.
I hate people. I don't want to talk to anybody.

Speaker 16 (13:49):
Gorging myself with a buffet is not my idea of
a good time.

Speaker 9 (13:59):
In the morning.

Speaker 24 (14:01):
Wait, hey, good morning, everybody. Welcome back Friday morning. Justin here, Billy,
Lisa Winnie, producer Riley. It is new music Friday, and
it's a big one. How about this? A brand new Justin.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Bieber album, which literally came out of nowhere, is out
dropped at midnight. It's called Swag. He started teasing it
yesterday with billboards, which, by the way, I'm pretty cool.
It's Justin and his wife, Haley, and his son. And yeah,
we had no idea that it was coming out. We
knew he was working on music. He's been teasing it
all over his social media and here we go. Swag

(14:34):
is out and our resident believer here at Kiss one Await.
That's Gianna from the v Bros.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
In the afternoon, stayed.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Up all night long, listened to all the songs, and
she's gonna let us know what's a hit and what's
a miss? Gianna, Welcome to the Billy and Lisa Show.
What do we need to know about Swag?

Speaker 8 (14:50):
Well, good morning, Justin.

Speaker 25 (14:51):
I personally have been waiting for this day for a
very very long time, four years to be exact. And Justin,
you said a hit or a miss Swag? And I
may be biased, but I don't really think anything on
this album is a miss. But I also could be
delirious from not getting any sleep and listening to the
album on repeat multiple times since midnight. But of course,

(15:11):
leave it up to Justin Bieber to randomly drop an
album after four years out of the clear Blue and listen.
This may not seem like a big deal to some people,
but you have to understand that all the believers like
myself were beyond ecstatic over this because again, we've been
waiting for four whole years now. Swag is Justin's seventh album,

(15:32):
and it's the first time we're getting a new album
from him since Justice back in twenty twenty one. Swag
has twenty one songs and features Gonna, Dijon, Lil Be, Sexy, Red,
Cash Cobain, and Eddie Benjamin. It's giving soul, it's giving
R and B and even a little bit of rap.
I mean the opening song, it's called All I Can
Take gave me Michael Jackson vibes.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
Twice.

Speaker 25 (16:04):
And on top of all these songs, I loved the
three interludes on this album that he did with his
good friend and comedian Drewski And in one of these interludes,
Justin opens up about how hard it's been for him
on social media.

Speaker 12 (16:19):
I think that's been a tough thing for me recently,
is feeling like, you know, I have had to go
through a lot of my struggles as a human, as
all of us do really publicly, and so people are
always asking if I'm okay, and that starts to really
weigh on me. You know.

Speaker 25 (16:36):
I love the vulnerability from him, and he also made
me laugh because he creatively used those viral clips of
him yelling at the paparazzi to even intro some of
the songs.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
That I was staying on business is.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Drunk sidewalk, how.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
About you make there, staying around my car at the beach.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
You know what I'm saying, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money,
Get out of here.

Speaker 26 (17:08):
Now.

Speaker 25 (17:08):
Of course we've seen those all over social media. We
have also seen rumors about him and Haley fighting divorcing,
and he actually opens up about Haley saying that they
have their ups and downs, but he is not walking
away in a song called walking Away.

Speaker 26 (17:22):
Baby Got Game, Gnay my time, and he he do
Commas songs, change It's Sun these Wampens, Baby Got Game.

Speaker 9 (17:48):
Now.

Speaker 25 (17:48):
Some of my personal favorites on this album were Daisies, Way.

Speaker 26 (17:52):
You Gomy, Thank God, Bady you then have been.

Speaker 10 (18:00):
As you know, I can take it cut in a day,
so many.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Days to let you see you, Okay. I just love
that one.

Speaker 25 (18:08):
Also Go Baby, which in my brain is an ode
to his old song baby give it a listen.

Speaker 10 (18:14):
Oh Baby, go baby, go baby, go baby, go baby,
go baby, go Baby, Go baby go, Baby, Go.

Speaker 23 (18:26):
Baby Go.

Speaker 25 (18:29):
That one's gonna be stuck in my head. And I
love this one. It's called first Place It with.

Speaker 10 (18:34):
A song Sight song O bab O Bay Wait celebrat
it's birthdays so amazing full Basin can celebrate this way.

Speaker 14 (18:53):
Thank you for birthday.

Speaker 7 (18:54):
Get all in all that is Swag.

Speaker 25 (18:57):
Justin as somebody that's been a believer since two thousand
and eight, we're talking seventeen years of loving this man.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
This album is just perfection.

Speaker 25 (19:05):
It was the perfect way for him to come back
after a long four years when we've been thirsty for
new music from him. So I'm just glad it finally happened,
and again out of the blue, out of nowhere. So
thank you Justin Bieber, and thank you Justin for having me.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
It's so funny too that entire time, all I'm thinking
about is that picture of you Gianna with a very
young Justin Bieber. I think it was twenty twelve jingle
Ball backstage, and look how far you've come now anyway,
you can listen to Swag all weekend long right here
on Kiss one to Wait, and of course on the
iHeartRadio app Kiss Went to Wait.

Speaker 27 (19:38):
Good morning, everybody, from the Planet Fitness Kiss one Away Studios.
We we're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning
on kiss On Hey, good morning.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Everybody, Welcome back justin here, Billy, Lisa Winnie.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
So.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
Patrick Hines is a former intern of this show many
years ago, and he's gone on to some amazing things.
He has one of the top pop podcast I mean,
he has a podcast studio in New York and he
came back to visit recently for a show in Boston
and it was a blast going down memory lane with Patrick.

Speaker 28 (20:09):
I heard on the after show that Patrick Hines will
be in studio on Friday, and I cannot wait to
listen to his segment. I started listening to his true
Crime Obsessed podcast last time he was on your show,
and if you haven't listened to it yet, you have
to get on that. A big fan of Patrick, even
read his book, and I'm excited for Frider's show.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Wow, Patrick, your mouth was wide open for that whole talkback.
So you love this, Oh my god, I do.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
It is such an honor and a thrill to be here.
May I tell you I as you know, I interned
you for you for a year in nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I remember it like it was yesterday.

Speaker 5 (20:45):
Everyone was like, they don't remember you.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
I was like, I don't.

Speaker 23 (20:47):
I know.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
I was not a memorable figure in nineteen ninety eight,
but I remember you guys, and it was so life changing.
And I remember every day being like, maybe today's day,
they're going to happen to be on the air. Maybe
today's today, they're gonna happen to be on the air.
And it never has.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
But here I am.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
I can't.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
So we wouldn't even let you in this room.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
Now you're at the Big Well. I'm so old and
I'm from so long ago that we were actually across
the street at the other at the other building, and
but you all did let me in the room. I remember.
This was back when the ads I think, were on
like plastic tapes or something. Oh the cards, Yes, the cards,
And so I would come in in between like ad

(21:25):
breaks and stack them up for you or for Karen
or whoever it was. I was putting them in the
in the That was the only time I got to
be in the room where it happened.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
But every time I would look around and be like,
oh my god, it's happening.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Like mad in the Morning Show and Billy and I
was saying before we started, you all were so famous
to me, like so so so famous I was. I
couldn't believe I was there.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Uh, well, it's a great time and we were talking
off air. The grouping of interns that we had at
that time was amazing because Jody Charles, uh kind of
ran the board. She was the executive producer.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
She was I think.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Corinne was right and Jody was my boss looking exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yeah, yeah, do you know that Jody Charles went on
to become the press secretary for Mitt Romney when he
was governor. No, from this show to press secretary for
the Governor's Jody.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Was so smart. She was very work driven, very focusing,
and that does not surprise me at all.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
I mean, you didn't like her at the time, but
didn't like her, but her one in the grouping of
insurance Yeah, now I'm trying to remember her name was Jordana, Yeah,
her name, yes, And didn't she do something weird in
New York City where she lied naked in a glass
box to day.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
Look I this vaguely rings the bell. I seen h
talk about when when the people were like, he doesn't
remember you. I'm like, of course he doesn't remember me,
but he'll remember Geordana. And I've got to meet you
in the hallway and you were like, I'm like, I
know you don't remember me, but I was here with Jordana.
You're like Georgian. Of course. She was just like young,
very smart, beautiful young woman, and she she would always
do crazy things like that. She was always like auditionally

(23:00):
for like VH one, DJA or whatever was.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
The original reality star reality shows kicked.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
Yes, and she was like obsessed with John Stamos. I
remember that was like her business. Who isn't currently who
still isn't obsessed with John Stamos?

Speaker 9 (23:16):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (23:16):
You know I was also here, remember Randy. Randy was
like the.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Okay, Randy was my intern, Yes, and he became our
stunt guy.

Speaker 17 (23:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Well I was here the day that he broke onto
the film set and shoved his cell phone into George
Clooney's hands. George Clooney, that's a legendary story. I was
in the studio that day.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
George Clooney was shooting the Batman movie in Glocester, Massachusetts,
and we sent Randy in a Robin suit. Yes, as
Batman's Robin and some I said, just keep getting past
the gate.

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Just just said, you know how you did it. What
you told him to do was that the mayor was
on the phone for George. They walked him to George
and you hear him on the tape go, I'm sorry,
it's the mayor And then it's Matt Siegel the other
end of the phone.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Randy Woods in the dressing room with George Coloney. Yeah, Batman,
I'm rob and I've arrived and I'm like, this really
isn't happening.

Speaker 5 (24:10):
And well I remember in the studio there was like
some red police siren that started going off, like it
was like the hotline.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Oh yeah, it was a wild time. It was incredible
to be So, what if.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Anything from your experience here on this show led you
to be able to do something that gets two hundred
and fifty million views.

Speaker 5 (24:30):
Well that's an old number. We're over four hundred million times. No,
that's not you, that's look if that's our team, that's
our team who sent that to you. I I was like,
I was thinking about this last night. I actually got
emotional in my hotel room. I was like, it was
a working for you, almost like a life changer, because
I was just this like poor kid from Cape cod
who got a scholarship to go to Emerson and I

(24:52):
wanted to be an actor, and I quickly learned I
was no good at that. I was this a little
gay boy with this like high pitched voice and didn't
know what I was going.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
To do in world.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
And I came and worked for you guys, and I
my eyes were open to like fabulousness and famous people
and like and and working among that was like possible
for me.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, it's funny because off the air you mentioned that
you were from Yarmouth down in the Cape, and I said, oh,
a couple of weeks ago, I shot the TV show
in South Yarmouth, Red Jacket, and you worked there.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
I worked at the Red Jacket for like six years,
and that was another the two most the work most
formidable things in my work life were the Red Jacket
and working for.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
You guys at West Say.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
We were at least ahead of the regut of the
Red Jacket for sure, for sure. But you know, you
all took me seriously and you gave me an opportunity.
I'm a very hard worker, and you gave me the
opportunity to do that. And so you know, I when
I moved to New York and I found my way
to podcasting, I was saying to you, like, this was
my only experience working in audio was working with you guys.
And I remember when I was working in bookings for

(25:53):
you guys, we used to send at Christmas, we would
send like little gifts to like the big agencies. I
remember we would send them to Avenue of the America
and that sounded so fabulous to me. And now I
live in New York, I'm like, oh, it's just sixth Avenue,
like you know what. I see it all the time
and I'm like, oh my god, I I did it.
But you know, working for you guys is in my
book that I that I wrote, and it's inament I'm

(26:15):
in your book.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
You are wow.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
So my book is called a Failure is not not
an option. It's the twelve silly stories of like my biggest,
most embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Failures in my life.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
And one of them is about a weekend, or really
just a night that I spent with the actress b
Arthur from The Golden Girls.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Of course you did, yes, and I was I was
asked to be her host In a minute, you slept
with me.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
I had sex with b Arthur, the only woman I've
ever been with and weirdly the most masculine sexual experience
of my life. But it was amazing for both of us.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I'm sure it was. It was like to remember that.
And by the way, you are a best seller.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
Yes, yes, the book was the best seller. And but
I got that gig being her host and guide for
the weekend because I had lied to my friends at
school who had invited her to come receive an award
talking about all of the celebrities that I worked with
on the Maddie in the Morning Show, which you all
probably smartly kept me away from all the letleries. I
never worked at any of the celebrities, but I would, Well,

(27:15):
you have a very high pitch for I know, I'm
very loud. I'm very loud, but I I uh so. Anyway,
there's a whole chapter in my book about like when
I when I gave up the idea of being an actor,
I got an internship working for you guys, and what
it was like to like work on the Maddie of
the Morning Show. It was just like wild and wonderful
and so great.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
So what makes your podcast so damn popular?

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Well, so true True Crime Obsessed is my original podcast.
We've been at it for nine years, and I think
that the fact that it's a true crime podcast by
itself automatically puts it in a in a in a
genre that people just really love and respond to. Ours
is really different from others. We recap true crime documentaries
and we started doing that before the documentary craze.

Speaker 9 (27:57):
You know.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
It's me and my co host, Jillian Pensivali. So it's
like a loud kay guy, and it's like super opinionated,
sassy girl, and we sort of just like no holds barred.
We say everything we think. We sort of just like
leave it all on the floor. It's very high energy,
it's very fast paced, and it's and it's funny, you know,
and it's it's it's fun and endearing.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
You got a talkback justin you guys.

Speaker 20 (28:17):
I'm so excited Patrick Hines is coming on. My worlds
are Colliding. Jillian and Patrick too. I'm Obsessed one of
my very favorite podcasts. So excited to listen.

Speaker 5 (28:30):
Okay, these talkbacks are incredible.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
What a creation. We didn't have this when you were
here in nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
This is why no, we normally have electricity. And Justin
is the godfather of the talkback mafia. Justin, I love you,
Oh thank you. I maybe we'll have a b r throom. Mom,
I don't know who knows. The day is young, the
day is young.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
I am married, but thank you the same. I mean,
you know, it's.

Speaker 27 (28:55):
Funny and we're back with the Villy and Lisa in
the Morning's a guys, Justin here.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
So a cool thing about the Billy and Lisa Show
is where one big family with our listeners right, very
interactive show. You can always check in with us, call
us or leave a talk back, which is essentially a
message you record into your phone on the iHeartRadio app,
which by the way, is brand new and improved free
to download. Check it out. And when you do, tap
that red microphone when you're listening to us live and

(29:22):
you can record a message. And if you want to vent,
that's okay too.

Speaker 16 (29:26):
I have a minute to vent because I'm in the
drop off line at school and this one Mom drives
all the way around everyone waiting in line, clearly waiting
to let your kid get off, and she cuts all
the way to the front and lets her kid off
and then drives away. I don't know if I'm jealous
or if I'm.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Man I gotta tell you. Any you have kids, I
don't care how old they are, younger old. You've lived
the drop offline drama.

Speaker 8 (29:54):
Right now, it's drop off and pick up.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
But that woman that she was talking about, that was bold, right,
if parents are listening. I had one incident though, where
I was in the pickup line, which is the same
as drop off, you get there early, and I saw someone,
a friend of mine behind me, parked behind me and
we still had about fifteen minutes until the kids were
coming out. Yeah, And I got out of the car
to go talk to her, you know, at the window,

(30:18):
and this person, an administrator, came out and yelled at
me and.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Told me to get back in the car.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
And ever since then, I was terrified to do anything
other than sit in my car and just be quiet.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Well, it's a long time since my kids were being
dropped off and picked off picked up at school, but
I still remember moments where there was always an incident.
There were always one or two parents who literally didn't
care about anything. They just did what they were going
to do. Let's go to the phone.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
So Kelly, Kelly, drop off pickup lines.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
What do you think?

Speaker 23 (30:53):
Hey, good morning, how are you guys?

Speaker 1 (30:54):
We're great?

Speaker 23 (30:55):
Go ahead, good Well. I'm a teacher. And one morning,
when the preschoolers are being dropped off at school, all
the parents are out of the car, little kids are
running around the whole bit. This one parent, who we
repeatedly said not to do this, had his little preschool
or three year old sitting on his lap with the
car running, and the three year old managed to get

(31:17):
the car and drive. So we had a car accident
in the preschool drop offline. And when the police showed
up to take reports, they asked for driver's licenses and
it was a three year old.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh yeah, that hurt luckily.

Speaker 23 (31:36):
Exactly. It could have been worse. But honestly, go on, parents,
I don't know what they're thinking. Sometimes they're worse than
the kids a lot.

Speaker 28 (31:42):
Of the times.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, there's always one or two parents. They're just going
to do whatever they want to do. But that could
have been a very tragic situation. God go drop off mom.

Speaker 3 (31:53):
Yeah, we have an anonymous caller online one okay, yeah,
good morning, anonymous.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Give us the story.

Speaker 13 (32:01):
So the lady was just called in. I think that
I know the person that she's talking about, because I
screamed at her and told her that we all learned
how to make lines in kindergarten.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Didn't she.

Speaker 23 (32:18):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Wow?

Speaker 22 (32:23):
Really I couldn't.

Speaker 13 (32:26):
I couldn't hold him back anymore. She just drives across
everybody else and makes her own little line.

Speaker 29 (32:32):
And what is this.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Let's just shut out the town. You don't have to
shut out the school with Tabor Harol.

Speaker 8 (32:41):
Okay, we were just in Harol doing local legends.

Speaker 5 (32:45):
That's right, we were.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Wow, you should learn how you learned how to draw
draw lines when you were a kid.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Oh my god, you're there. You gotta be ready for anything.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
Let's go to Nikky online.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
One four Nikki pickups drop off, give us a story.

Speaker 17 (33:02):
So my my first story is the same as Lisa's.

Speaker 23 (33:06):
Where my daughter.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
It was.

Speaker 17 (33:09):
She was a second grader and brand new.

Speaker 28 (33:12):
To the school.

Speaker 17 (33:14):
I went to drop her off. I got out of
the car, gave her a big hug, and the principal
came out and yelled at me, saying that I was
not allowed to park my car.

Speaker 23 (33:23):
I needed to just.

Speaker 9 (33:24):
Drop and go.

Speaker 17 (33:25):
Yeah, And I was like, oh my god, it was
like her first day, my first like it was we
just had moves too. So yeah, it was, you know, embarrassing.
And ever since then, I just dropped in and left.
And also I'm I'm a I have five kids, so

(33:47):
four of them went to the same school, and I
would pull up and just be like bye and off
they went.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Wow, seems like a very stressful place.

Speaker 24 (33:56):
It is.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, it is, you know what, Nikki.

Speaker 8 (34:01):
Rop off them.

Speaker 11 (34:03):
What a Boston is Benson Boone And you're waking up
with Billion Lisa in the morning on Kiss one a week,
Boston's number one hit music stations.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Hey Lisa, good morning everybody. Welcome back Billy and Lisa Show.
Wrap it things up on a Friday morning. Have an
awesome Friday and an awesome weekend. And a reminder, you
can check out the Billion Lisa Show podcast on the
iHeartRadio app. It is free. We put up a new
episode seven days a week. So a couple of minutes
ago we were talking off the air about our worst fears.

(34:30):
I don't like heights anyway, What are yours weird?

Speaker 25 (34:33):
Here?

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Maybe more of an anxiety is part of potties and outhouses.

Speaker 7 (34:37):
When I say, outhouses.

Speaker 30 (34:38):
I'm thinking like at campgrounds that don't have full plumbing
or anything of that sort. I'm always scared that there's
going to be a snake or something in.

Speaker 18 (34:47):
It that's gonna shoot up and bite me.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
And then just.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Transferred over to porta potties as well. I got a
weird anxiety.

Speaker 8 (34:56):
Whatever I'm in, then I totally agree with her. I
hate potties.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Billy says he's never used the polter his life.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Never. Never do we believe that, least why not in
the woods?

Speaker 8 (35:07):
I actually do believe him on this one.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
Never been to an outdoor No, I don't know what's
in that tank. Oh you don't want to look down,
And you're like, okay, you just gotta be a better
way to pee.

Speaker 8 (35:18):
You can't look down, You just can't.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
I was in one a couple of days ago my
son's baseball game, and yeah, you just don't look down.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
They haven't met.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Like golf events, that's where I've used them, big golf,
because you're out, you know, on the fifteenth hole, there's
no bathroom anywhere, so.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
You got to use it. So do you you hover?

Speaker 3 (35:36):
Obviously?

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Me? Yeah? Oh yeah, oh go hover? Oh you have
to have in one.

Speaker 5 (35:42):
No, you like squat?

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, imagine sitting?

Speaker 8 (35:47):
Who would sit?

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Oh my god?

Speaker 8 (35:50):
Well don't they have like the paper things you put down?

Speaker 11 (35:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I may have sat? I may yeah, yeah, you must
have really had to go.

Speaker 9 (35:59):
You're a.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
It was either sit or have a go down your leg? Right,
I know what I've done much worse.

Speaker 19 (36:07):
Good morning.

Speaker 30 (36:08):
I have a super weird fear mineus eyelashes. When I
was a kid, I had a friend's sister who used
an eyelash curler and for some reason, it was sticky
and she went to take it out and all of
her eyelashes stuck to it and came out. And ever
since then, I have never liked eyelashes. I don't like
the I don't like them at all. I don't like

(36:28):
putting on mascara. Every time I see one come out,
I freak out.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
I just hate it. Do they still exist?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Okay, the eyelash curler does still exist, and I refuse
to use one.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
I use one every day.

Speaker 8 (36:39):
It freaks me out. Oh really, Oh I'm terrified. Actually never,
I've never used it.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Well, yeah, I've never heard of Well, now you see that, Yeah,
I'll bring it in.

Speaker 8 (36:51):
It looks like a little cakee.

Speaker 7 (36:52):
You just put it right here and you clamp it down.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Oh I've seen that.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yeah, you see that story that men are now trimming
their eyelashes to look more manly.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Oh that's so annoying.

Speaker 3 (37:01):
Yeah, they're trimming little scissors.

Speaker 8 (37:04):
I love long eyelashes on.

Speaker 7 (37:05):
Oh my god, when a guy has pretty long eyelash
so hot it is sod.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh my god.

Speaker 7 (37:09):
Yeah, I should be the guy that he had the
most beautiful, long, curly eyelashes.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Billy, stop it.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
I don't have them.

Speaker 8 (37:15):
No, my son Riley has beautiful eyelashes.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
Okay, I guess, I guess. I guess you look less
manly if you have long eyelashes. That's what it.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
So guys are cutting them. Who's on the phone? What's
long one? What's not? I don't know. It's it's on the.

Speaker 8 (37:31):
Coat a little sister, and I suppose it's the middle
school teacher. I am peterrified of rubber bands. There bullets.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
Actually, actually my son got in trouble this week on
the school bus because of a rubber band. Why the
kids love the yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Each other?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yeah, yes, sound yeah, it's bad.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
I am riddled with fias as growing up my mother
always saying I'd be afraid of my own shadow.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Well she was right.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
But one of my strangest fias is styrofoam. I can't
that noise just thinking about me makes me feel like
I'm gonna go down for the count, and not in
a good way. I see something from a big box,
you know, a big box item, and I know it's
gonna be packed in styrofoam. I have to have someone
else do it, and if I have to do it myself,

(38:26):
I need to go lie down afterwards.

Speaker 7 (38:33):
That reminds me of nail nails on a chalkboard, which
gives gives you the he one of mine.

Speaker 8 (38:39):
We don't really see chalkboards anymore.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
Yeahs now it is whiteboards.

Speaker 4 (38:45):
I am absolutely terrified of bees and anything in that
category that flies and had a stinger.

Speaker 7 (38:51):
I am just so afraid.

Speaker 23 (38:54):
I literally go into like a fight or flight response.

Speaker 7 (38:57):
I hypermnally.

Speaker 23 (38:58):
I I'm scree I scream, I run away.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
I's so childish and everybody makes fun of me for it,
but it's literally such a fear. I wish I could
give hypnosis to like not be so afraid of bees,
but it's just it's so bad.

Speaker 31 (39:13):
Yeah, I think insects is a common one. Yeah, people
terrified of ants really Yeah, yeah, I guess so snakes
too is a big one. Oh that I mean, I
don't like snakes, but I'm not afraid of them.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Oh I'm terrified of snakes.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Yeah, I don't get the people that can put them
around their neck and yeah, I'm going there.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
I held one one time at a birthday party.

Speaker 8 (39:37):
The python.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
Yeah, I mean I was probably like eight, and I
have the picture somewhere, and you know, they have like
twelve kids all hold you know, the one thing. It's
just a texture of their skin. Kind of gives me
the hell.

Speaker 8 (39:49):
Also, it's like a giant muscle.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
So I'm telling you, if that thing decides to squeeze,
you like really gone.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
You ever see videos snakes eat things, oh, swallow things
whole at all, So they'll swallow a dog hole.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
That It's crazy.

Speaker 5 (40:09):
I think I might win the weird fear game because
I'm terrified of Hello, Kitty, of all the things in
the world to be afraid of, scares the heck out
