Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, guys, so welcome back.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We're all sitting around much like you, waiting for the
northeaster to arrive. They're saying it's going to be at
its worst between noon and eight o'clock. You can see
the wind starting to pick up. It's very gray. The
rain is going to be driving rains. We could get
to some people will get as much as three inches
of rain when this is all said and done.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, a lot and a lot of coastal flooding too tonight.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Awsobly, a lot of I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Fairies are suspended. Quinsy Lynn could be to the cape
to Nantucket.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
It's very windy outside already now here it counts very windy.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Good morning, guys, especially Billy. Listen, it's just wind, wind
and more wind. When is it going to end? I
got an idea, Billy, Why don't you come over to
my place? You can snuggle up and watch Coyote Ugly.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Good Time. Actually actually love that movie.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Do you feel about cuddling?
Speaker 7 (00:58):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Well, I don't know this person. It seems very nice.
He's really in de biggest book club ever.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Last night it was I have to say that, like
we had so much fun, so many last Gregory Maguire
was our book club guest. He is the author of Wicked,
which has you know, it's a one point seven billion
dollar industry that he's created with his story. And he
shared some really amazing moments, one of which I think
(01:29):
is something that he's currently working on that no one
really seems to know.
Speaker 8 (01:33):
Because I have just finished writing draft nine of a memoir.
I never thought that I would do a memoir. But
then when Hollywood gets a hold of you and puffs
up your ego, you know, just like a piece of popcorn,
you float around up there with you and you think, well,
maybe everybody needs snow where I can.
Speaker 9 (01:53):
Is this breaking news something you're writing a memoir?
Speaker 8 (01:56):
Yes, right, my editor doesn't know that, so don't tell it.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
This this bag with his with his laptop, and he
would not leave it alone. He was like, no, I
have to carry this with me. The next question I
asked was when he visited the set with Ari and Cynthia.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
I flew out to London and was there for close
to a week.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I'd like to say I.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
Hung out and you know, got drunk with Ari and
Cynthia and Johnny. You know, that's all a big lie,
But I did. I did meet them, I did watch
them at work. I watched them filming. That was there
the week that they were filming the Ozdesk ballroom scene,
and that's the scene where Alphabet is publicly humiliated and
(02:45):
Glinda finally accepts her responsibility for her part in the
humiliation and in the marginalization of Alphabet and something something
breaks and strengthens and Alphaba and something breaks and strengthens
in Glinda as well.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
Arianna talks about this is her dream role.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
She always wanted to play this role, so I can
believe that this was truly like a moment for her.
Speaker 8 (03:11):
It's the central moment in the film.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think, what an amazing author and storyteller.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
He well, he shared a story that you're going to
hear right now. I talked about or asked him about
Cynthia's impact on the role of Alphabe.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
That was in Greece a couple of weeks ago, with
about thirty teachers, and three or four of them were
black teachers. A couple of men, couple women. We were
touring the sites and one day we were sitting having
a glass of wine at the end of the day,
and one woman said to me. You know what I
(03:44):
and my girlfriends, you know the part of Wicked, the
movie that really gets to us. And I said, oh no,
tell me, and she said, the thing that made.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
All of our hearts it's.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Wobble. It isn't defying gravity. It's when Cynthia Arrivo sings,
I'm not that girl. Because every one of us black
women know what that feels like, and we have lived
with that sentiment our whole lives. So when you ask,
(04:22):
what does what did Cynthia bring to it and what
does she communicate? Adina sang that song beautifully. Anybody I've
ever heard play that part plays that moment beautifully. But
there's something even more heartbreaking when Cynthia does it on
the screen.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
To me, yeah, when you see the movie, you'll understand.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I just to know as a teacher, how I can
book that vacation to grief.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
With this man. Yeah, he turavels the world. And then
she did.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
He did share one really interesting tidbit that no one
really knew before last night, and it has to do
with his book out right now called Elfie, and it's
a prequel, and he shared this news is.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
This is this being broadcast?
Speaker 9 (05:09):
It is we're streaming live.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
I see, well.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
You can say it. He told me that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, yeah, I'd just say it.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
I have it on fairly high authority that Cynthia Revo
is doing the audio book.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
You could not hear that from me, breaking news.
Speaker 9 (05:34):
Good stuff there.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You got big ooze from that one. I know. I'm
telling you that Cynthia Revo ariana Grande opening the Oscars. Yeah,
you remember that absolutely.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
When I hear it, No, I literally it like brings
me to tears when I hear that song.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
To have that kind of talent, it's it's amazing. Wow,
great event, Lisa, thank you, thanks for being there.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You guys, I really appreciate it, And to all the
book club members who showed up, and they show up
every time we have one, and we're doing such great
work for raising a reader. So it's it's really it's
been great.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
What's happening next?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I will share details probably next week about a book
club in July, and then we've got two in September,
two in October, one in November, so a lot of
good stuff coming.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh boy, So the fall is set.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
The fall is set with some big names, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Love Billy and Lisa Kiss so all of New England
bracing for the nor'easter. And by the way, right after
nine o'clock, we'll have a meteorologist, Jason Michael on the show.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
He's over there at WBZTV news.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
Good morning, it's the mayor of South Ben. I have
a question for Jason Michaels number one. I find him
very attractive, a beautiful dresser.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
And my question is is he single?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
And if he is, I'd like to take him for
a cocktail over club cafe. We'll talk about everything except weather.
Let me know, Jason, you cutie, he says, has a man.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, I think Jason has taken he's for, he's spoken for,
as we said, the social scene.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Hey Bill, you could have had this in your news
report this morning. You know what's palindrome week? What you
know what a palindrome is? A palindrome is when something
reads the same forward as backwards. So right now, from
as of May twentieth to May twenty ninth, if you're
looking at the dates five twenty twenty five, it reads
the same forward as backwards. This will go every day
(07:29):
until the twenty ninth. That's called the palindrome.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh look at that.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, yeah, So five, twenty twenty five reads the same
backwards all the way up until May twenty ninth.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So it's just a little quirky thing. I know. Bill
has a weird fascination with numbers, well documented on this show.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The Avengers Endgame movie krushed it, taking in more than
a billion dollars worldwide, three hundred and fifty million here
in the North America, one hundred and eighty five million
in the US more than five hundred thirty million world one.

video for her new song Me had more than sixty
(08:05):
five million views in less than twenty four hours, one
hundred to thirty seven nominations for thirty two of those
for Game of Thrones.

campus I mentioned earlier.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I drove right by it last night.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The only thing conspicuously missing was the Ferris wheel, and
I think it's because of what's going on outside right now.
The storm is pulling in.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
It's raining right now, pouring.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, you can see the rain, you can see the

Speaker 4 (11:03):

and they include air infections, hearing loss, pneumonia, diarrhea, blindness,
and swelling of the brain. Imagine having all of that
at once.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Well, that's what I have a vaccine for it.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I know.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
I'm surprised. It's still it has a life around it.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
Well that's because a lot of people aren't being vaccinated
for it.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Well maybe they should think about that.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
That's called emptying out. I mean and croup. What's croup?
Speaker 10 (11:31):
Oh, it's take a really bad thought, really deep cars awful.

No, No, I have no idea if I had them,
and there's no one alive in my family to ask.

Probably would have known if you had the measles.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Wait, the vaccine from easels is younger than you.

Jason, you there, Good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (19:59):

So, Jason, before we get into the northeaster, we do
have a lot of people reaching out with questions and comments,
so listen to this.
Speaker 11 (20:06):
Could you please ask Jason what he thinks about the
weather for Saturday heading into.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
The North End.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Okay, Jason, Saturday heading to the North End, what do
you think?
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Well, first of all, my appetite is going to be
sort of searing here heading into the North End on Saturday.
But I think likely for lunch, fress ether dinner time
on Saturday, I think we can expect mainly cloudy skies
along with the spot shower. Chance, nothing too terribly heavy,
not too carefully dusty, and not too terribly unsettled.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Okay, so Saturday not that bad. Okay, that's the North End, right,
What about the South End?
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Good morning, it's the name of the South End. I
have a question for Jason Michaels Number one. I find
him very attractive, a beautiful dresser, and my question is
is he single? And if he is, I'd like to
take him for a cocktail over club cafe. We'll talk
about everything except weather. Let me know, Jason, you cutie.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Jason, your answer, your comment?
Speaker 9 (21:06):
I are you cutie?
Speaker 13 (21:10):
It is not?
Speaker 14 (21:12):
You know what?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
There are not many times where I'm absolutely speechless more
smitten it and I am both right now. I am
not single and I'm pretty sure my other half is
listening right now, so they might weigh in on this,
yeah as well. But I do like a good cocktail,
so I am. I am still gonna be able to
go to club cafe. Just name the time and name
(21:33):
with well.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I'm sure the mayor of the South then will be
happy to host the two of you. Sounds like, yeah,
that has just becomes.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Something else, and I'm not talking about the letter at all.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Oh man, They'll be laying something.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, maybe champagne and then okay, uh, this is a
serious storm, right Jason.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
It is a serious storm. It's a highly impactful storm system.
It is you know, it's no recourse that we have
to talk about in nor'easter in late May. But this
nor'easter we'll have a thumbprint of a wind swept type
of the bed here with heavy rain, steady rain later on.
Today we have both a wind advisory and coastal flood
advisory and effect. So it's making for a very wet
(22:19):
and also a very messy Thursday, and possibly for a
Friday as well.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Let me ask you another question. Does my boat have
any chance of survival at all?
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Your boat?
Speaker 11 (22:32):
Why?
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Yes? Of course it's your boat, isn't it. So anything
that involves Billy, it's going to be okay.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, well I'll be on it, holding it down and
trying to save it. I'm sure I'll go down with
the ship, Jason, is what he's saying. Yes, always, it.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Will not go down.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Yes, yes, I don't think we need Noah over his
art today.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You know what's funny, Jason, somebody mentioned to me this
morning that on this exact day one year ago, it
was eighty nine degrees.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Oh. Oh, I will have to go back and verify,
because if it was eighty nine last year, let's say
we do it again next year.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
That's not happening this year.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
We have a little bit of wrinkle right in between.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
What's the temperature expected to be today?
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Roughly around fifty degrees and I will tell you it's
going to be a chilly fifty two oh.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
With the winds, yeah, and the rain and oh my god.
But now we keep hearing, oh, but we'll have Sunday
in Monday.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Will we.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
There will be improved conditions, noticeably improved conditions between Saturday
and Sunday. The key thing we have to remember is
we're still likely to have some gusty winds. And once
we get that south wind to push in between Sunday
and Monday, that's when we start to see the key
differences in our sky and also our temperatures, going from
the mid sixties on Sunday to the low seventies. And
the crowd goes wild from Monday for Memorials.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Okay, so Monday is worth cheering.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Crawling out of it by Monday, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Literally crawling out through a basement window.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, so, oh god, all right, so here comes a
Memorial Day weekend. Jason, we can't thank you enough for
taking the time. I don't know you're busy over there
on Channel four.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, you guys are family anytime you call me up,
I'll be right here.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Thanks Jason, you Cutie Billy and Lisa justin. I think
you've kept the talkbackers waiting long enough.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I have so much to get to right now. I
just looked in and you were laughing to yours.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I'm laughing. I'm laughing my butt off in here. We
just had Jason Michael on to give an update in
the northeaster. We started with a talkback from the Mayor
of the South End. He's one of our talkbackers. Kind
of coming at Jason michaelty, but Jason took it well.
He is in a relationship and I don't know his
partner's name, but here he is.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
Hi Morning show crew, this is Jason Michael's other half.
And I would just like to dedicate to the Mayor
of the South End the song The Boy Is Mine.
I think that would be good to listen to. Anyways,
I would love to go to Club Cafe with the
Mayor of the South End, and I know Jason would
love to come to. So let's go, Mayor and we'll
have a cocktail and talk about the weather or maybe
(25:10):
not whatever you want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It fine, what a cool guy.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
I love that.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
Sunday.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
There we go.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
That what a cool guy.
Speaker 9 (25:22):
Yeah, it's really nice.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Really cool. We have to get his name, you cutie.
All right, here we go. Who checked in this morning?
Who are going to hear from here?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Good morning, morning team.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
I wanted to give a big shout out to the
mass Art class in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 13 (25:39):
They'll be graduating at the Leader Bank Pavilion at the
seaport in.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
The middle of a freaking hurricane.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Oh.
Speaker 14 (25:46):
We have to pray for them, their art students.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
They might not survive.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Yeah, that's tough out there. Yes, you guys are not
postponing this. Yeah, whoa, that's going to be a quick ceremony, right, I.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Mean they'll be covered, no, but still so much wind.
Speaker 9 (26:03):
It's a tent and it's right on the water.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Whoa man, Well, how well? Wishes go out to the
graduating class. And by the way, congratulations, yeah, congratulations, yes,
by all means yeah, if to be going around a
lot of caps in the air, wow, yeah, yeah. If
you missed the entertainment report at eight forty this morning.
By the way, Billy does his entertainment twice even morning,
six forty and eight forty wit. A little incident in
(26:29):
the eight forty there Billy went down memory lane talking
about his poor cousin Jimmy. Okay, you went down my
memory lane and I never invited you. Well, you had
a little cousin, Jimmy, who you know sadly had polio. Yes, yeah,
and now the polio. Did he pass from polio?
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Okay, Billy doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Probably, I'm not asking questions of the audience. Okay, anyways,
very private matter.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't want to upset you.
Speaker 12 (26:56):
Hey, everybody, just thinking about poor old cousin Jimmy and
wondering if any you have seen the very old John
Travolter movie Boy in a Plastic Bubble.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I need to find it and watch it now. Thanks,
he wasn't in a bubble. You need to stop this
line of interest. Okay, Well, it wasn't us that couldn't
get your three year entertainment report. You couldn't even read
the sponsor.
Speaker 14 (27:19):
Billy, please never change.
Speaker 13 (27:21):
You.
Speaker 14 (27:21):
Crying laughing during the ad at the end of your
Edhamer report just makes my whole entire life.
Speaker 12 (27:29):
Thank you, I.
Speaker 9 (27:30):
Love you, We just love you.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
Did lose control, so did All and Lisa got me
laughing out of control. Yeah, you got you gotta go
check it out. It's on the podcast Billy and Lisa
in the morning on the iHeart app. It'll be up
just after ten am.
Speaker 12 (27:46):
Just have to say, you guys are absolutely killing me
this morning. I've had a really bad week and very unhappy,
and this morning listening to you guys laughing so out
of control, I absolutely loved it. I'm laughing along with you.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
I love when you get that laugh and.
Speaker 12 (28:06):
You just can't stop no matter how hard you try,
and then that makes you laugh longer. It's great you guys,
keep it up.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Winnie, don't feel the need to say a single word,
because I know you're dying to say something.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
I have nothing to say about Jimmy. I just want
to know if he's.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Dead or alive.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
I'm assuming he's dead. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, and I wasn't trying to to make fun of
Jimmy at all. I just was referring to the fact
that you had a cousin who had polio that couldn't
come out of the house, and you used to go
and visit him to the landow to stare out the
window because you couldn't come in contact with him. Okay,
I'm just why daring out the window. He was waiting
(28:53):
for us to come to see his far window.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
It's nice.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It was a wonderful time. Life was the highlight of
his day. Yeah, it comes bell.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't know who else may have wandered up really,
maybe his other friends. Yeah, well it was yeah, yeah, yes,
he was very popular.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
Okay, he was a bubble boy.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
You need to bubble boy.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
He lives in a bubble What I'm begging you?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Like, I think it's what that you and your brother
took the time.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
No, I think what's happening here could be the end
of my career. It's not a moment that we're celebrating
right now. Could imagine how sad that will be if
that's how it all is.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
It's not gonna end like that because I'm not trying
to make fun of yem. Yeah, I'm really not from
the micro No, it's always you, it's never me. It
is Meanwhile, she's got measles.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Kids.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
It's the morning wrap up on Billy and Lisa in
the Morning.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
All right, let's take a look back at the show.
Here is what you missed last night a glorious book
club event at Johnson in Burlington with Lisa's book Club
and Gregory Maguire, who wrote Wicked. We love that movie.
A lot of people came out to it. It was
a fantastic event.
Speaker 14 (30:09):
I am a fellow Wicked fan. I slept outside for
twenty seven hours in London to see a Dina Manzel
reprise her role as Alphaba. I saw it six times there.
I've seen it twelve times on Broadway. I've seen it
in la with Megan Hilty and Eden Espinoza. I've seen
it in Toronto with Shoshana Bean. I stole a poster
off the wall of the London Tube and got it
(30:31):
signed by Dina Manzel in London. Crazy Stories to tell.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
So she is a Wicked fan.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
So Rabbi, if she was not at the event last night,
needs to listen to the podcast. Yes, it was amazing.
We played a bunch of it on the show this morning.
I mean, this guy had breaking news.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
He shared his time and these stories and a lot
of the stuff that he told us has never been
heard before.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, it was great. I was there. It was fantastic.
So catch the podcast. Lisa's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app.
That's how you find it. It's one free, so there
you go. Also, this morning, we had Catherine Loftus on
to answer your Karen Reid trials. A lot of questions
were answered. She talked about what happened this week, all
that stuff, make sure you check it out, and uh, yeah,
the jury's out until tuesday.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
Hell yeah, crazy story.
Speaker 13 (31:16):
But I was on a murder trial about four or
five years ago and I called into kiss.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
I was telling them.
Speaker 7 (31:23):
I just told them like I was on my fifth day.
Speaker 8 (31:25):
Of jury duty.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
I didn't say anything else.
Speaker 14 (31:27):
My whole family, work, everybody.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Knew I was on jury duty.
Speaker 13 (31:31):
I got called in by the judge to say that
I was.
Speaker 8 (31:36):
Not talking about anything else.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
They found out it was me.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
A lawyer was pissed.
Speaker 6 (31:41):
I was so embarrassed.
Speaker 10 (31:42):
I literally wanted to cry.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
So.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I don't know if you guys remember this, but they
actually it was actually a big deal. They actually reached
out to the to us like though, oh really, yeah,
that particular incident. Yeah, because you know, if you're on
a jury, you probably shouldn't be calling calling a radio stage.
We can't control what people say, you know, and we
pick up the phone. We don't know what they're going
to talk about. We don't know what they're going to
talk about. You know, phone lines are always open on
(32:06):
the Billion Lisa Show. Also, we had Jason Michael on
this morning. That's our buddy from WBC TV, to give
us an update on Nor'easter. But also this weekend, Memorial
Day weekend. So what do we think is it going
to be good or bad? He says, Well, the end
of the weekend to'll be okay.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
There will be improved conditions, noticeably improved conditions between Saturday
and Sunday. The key thing we have to remember is
we're still likely to have some gusty winds. And once
we get that south wind to push in between Sunday
and Monday, that's when we start to see the key
differences in our sky and also our temperatures going from
the mid sixties on Sunday to the low seventies. And
the crowd goes wild for Monday.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
Yah, we got to leave town. Well, something's better than nothing,
you know what I mean? It could be a washout
every day. We've got to look at the glass.
Speaker 9 (32:50):
Always have Monday.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
We have Monday, you know, And then we'll go our
rest of.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
Work and then go right back to work. Yeah, and
finally some good news to leave you with. We talked
extensively about Billy's cousin, Jimmy. Cousin Jimmy contracted polio as
a child, and there were some questions as to whether
Jimmy was alive or not. Billy, you're not sure if
he's a lie. We hope that he is. But the
good news is there's a good possibility he could be.
Speaker 11 (33:17):
Hey, Justin, I have a aunt in Brazil. She had
Paulio when she was three years old and she's still alife.
She's eighty seven, eighty six, eighty seven now, So jim
could be.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
A life See what I mean?
Speaker 9 (33:33):
You need to check it in on us.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Well, you know what, let's pray for Jimmy.
Hey, guys, so welcome back.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We're all sitting around much like you, waiting for the
northeaster to arrive. They're saying it's going to be at
its worst between noon and eight o'clock. You can see
the wind starting to pick up. It's very gray. The
rain is going to be driving rains. We could get
to some people will get as much as three inches
of rain when this is all said and done.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah, a lot and a lot of coastal flooding too tonight.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Awsobly, a lot of I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Fairies are suspended. Quinsy Lynn could be to the cape
to Nantucket.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
It's very windy outside already now here it counts very windy.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Good morning, guys, especially Billy. Listen, it's just wind, wind
and more wind. When is it going to end? I
got an idea, Billy, Why don't you come over to
my place? You can snuggle up and watch Coyote Ugly.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Good Time. Actually actually love that movie.
Speaker 6 (00:57):
Do you feel about cuddling?
Speaker 7 (00:58):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Well, I don't know this person. It seems very nice.
He's really in de biggest book club ever.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Last night it was I have to say that, like
we had so much fun, so many last Gregory Maguire
was our book club guest. He is the author of Wicked,
which has you know, it's a one point seven billion
dollar industry that he's created with his story. And he
shared some really amazing moments, one of which I think
(01:29):
is something that he's currently working on that no one
really seems to know.
Speaker 8 (01:33):
Because I have just finished writing draft nine of a memoir.
I never thought that I would do a memoir. But
then when Hollywood gets a hold of you and puffs
up your ego, you know, just like a piece of popcorn,
you float around up there with you and you think, well,
maybe everybody needs snow where I can.
Speaker 9 (01:53):
Is this breaking news something you're writing a memoir?
Speaker 8 (01:56):
Yes, right, my editor doesn't know that, so don't tell it.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
This this bag with his with his laptop, and he
would not leave it alone. He was like, no, I
have to carry this with me. The next question I
asked was when he visited the set with Ari and Cynthia.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
I flew out to London and was there for close
to a week.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I'd like to say I.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
Hung out and you know, got drunk with Ari and
Cynthia and Johnny. You know, that's all a big lie,
But I did. I did meet them, I did watch
them at work. I watched them filming. That was there
the week that they were filming the Ozdesk ballroom scene,
and that's the scene where Alphabet is publicly humiliated and
(02:45):
Glinda finally accepts her responsibility for her part in the
humiliation and in the marginalization of Alphabet and something something
breaks and strengthens and Alphaba and something breaks and strengthens
in Glinda as well.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
Arianna talks about this is her dream role.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
She always wanted to play this role, so I can
believe that this was truly like a moment for her.
Speaker 8 (03:11):
It's the central moment in the film.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I think, what an amazing author and storyteller.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
He well, he shared a story that you're going to
hear right now. I talked about or asked him about
Cynthia's impact on the role of Alphabe.
Speaker 8 (03:23):
That was in Greece a couple of weeks ago, with
about thirty teachers, and three or four of them were
black teachers. A couple of men, couple women. We were
touring the sites and one day we were sitting having
a glass of wine at the end of the day,
and one woman said to me. You know what I
(03:44):
and my girlfriends, you know the part of Wicked, the
movie that really gets to us. And I said, oh no,
tell me, and she said, the thing that made.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
All of our hearts it's.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Wobble. It isn't defying gravity. It's when Cynthia Arrivo sings,
I'm not that girl. Because every one of us black
women know what that feels like, and we have lived
with that sentiment our whole lives. So when you ask,
(04:22):
what does what did Cynthia bring to it and what
does she communicate? Adina sang that song beautifully. Anybody I've
ever heard play that part plays that moment beautifully. But
there's something even more heartbreaking when Cynthia does it on
the screen.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
To me, yeah, when you see the movie, you'll understand.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I just to know as a teacher, how I can
book that vacation to grief.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
With this man. Yeah, he turavels the world. And then
she did.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
He did share one really interesting tidbit that no one
really knew before last night, and it has to do
with his book out right now called Elfie, and it's
a prequel, and he shared this news is.
Speaker 8 (05:07):
This is this being broadcast?
Speaker 9 (05:09):
It is we're streaming live.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
I see, well.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
You can say it. He told me that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Well, yeah, I'd just say it.
Speaker 8 (05:18):
I have it on fairly high authority that Cynthia Revo
is doing the audio book.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
You could not hear that from me, breaking news.
Speaker 9 (05:34):
Good stuff there.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You got big ooze from that one. I know. I'm
telling you that Cynthia Revo ariana Grande opening the Oscars. Yeah,
you remember that absolutely.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
When I hear it, No, I literally it like brings
me to tears when I hear that song.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
To have that kind of talent, it's it's amazing. Wow,
great event, Lisa, thank you, thanks for being there.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You guys, I really appreciate it, And to all the
book club members who showed up, and they show up
every time we have one, and we're doing such great
work for raising a reader. So it's it's really it's
been great.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
What's happening next?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I will share details probably next week about a book
club in July, and then we've got two in September,
two in October, one in November, so a lot of
good stuff coming.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh boy, So the fall is set.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
The fall is set with some big names, all right.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Love Billy and Lisa Kiss so all of New England
bracing for the nor'easter. And by the way, right after
nine o'clock, we'll have a meteorologist, Jason Michael on the show.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
He's over there at WBZTV news.
Speaker 10 (06:35):
Good morning, it's the mayor of South Ben. I have
a question for Jason Michaels number one. I find him
very attractive, a beautiful dresser.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
And my question is is he single?
Speaker 10 (06:48):
And if he is, I'd like to take him for
a cocktail over club cafe. We'll talk about everything except weather.
Let me know, Jason, you cutie, he says, has a man.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, I think Jason has taken he's for, he's spoken for,
as we said, the social scene.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Hey Bill, you could have had this in your news
report this morning. You know what's palindrome week? What you
know what a palindrome is? A palindrome is when something
reads the same forward as backwards. So right now, from
as of May twentieth to May twenty ninth, if you're
looking at the dates five twenty twenty five, it reads
the same forward as backwards. This will go every day
(07:29):
until the twenty ninth. That's called the palindrome.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Oh look at that.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, yeah, So five, twenty twenty five reads the same
backwards all the way up until May twenty ninth.
Speaker 9 (07:39):
Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So it's just a little quirky thing. I know. Bill
has a weird fascination with numbers, well documented on this show.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The Avengers Endgame movie krushed it, taking in more than
a billion dollars worldwide, three hundred and fifty million here
in the North America, one hundred and eighty five million
in the US more than five hundred thirty million world one.
Taylor Swift croshed it over the weekend as well. The
video for her new song Me had more than sixty
(08:05):
five million views in less than twenty four hours, one
hundred to thirty seven nominations for thirty two of those
for Game of Thrones.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, Talandro Buddy.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Seven hundred million of us will be traveling for the
Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Now, back to Billy and Lisa in the morning on
Kiss Now, the entertainment update with the Billy Codstas all right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
The Boston Calling Festival kicks off tomorrow on the Harvard
campus I mentioned earlier.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I drove right by it last night.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
The only thing conspicuously missing was the Ferris wheel, and
I think it's because of what's going on outside right now.
The storm is pulling in.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
It's raining right now, pouring.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, you can see the rain, you can see the
winds starting to pick up. Noon to eight today is
going to be the worst of it, they say, But
again we'll have Jason Michael, the media dromiology to.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Mediorologist at w b Z.

coming in right after nine o'clock this morning. But the
lineup tomorrow night, Luke Colmbes, Ryl crow, T Payne TLC
and the Boston Pops fourth of July lineup was announced yesterday.
Remember we had Keith in several weeks ago. He had

now we do. End it includes Leanne Ryan.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
I've never seen that movie though, but I know Bill
you have.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
You haven't seen it.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I was like, I was a bridge at Monahan in it,
i'd've seen.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Yeah, she's one of the bartenders. Didn't you dance on
a bar?
Speaker 9 (09:44):
Oh yeah, I did.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
You're at the actual place in Boston.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
Yeah, when I was on Chain of Fools, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
And then she gave up her bra I did part
of a packed house.
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Yeah, I like that bro okay, yeah, uh.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You know that song that Leanne rhymes song. A while back,
we played a game with Billy Can you guess what
song Billy is humming? Remember that? Because Billy hums is
a melody? Yeah right, And we couldn't figure out one,
and we landed on It was that song, this one.
If you missed it. We had listeners calling in with
(10:18):
talkbacks trying to guess what it was, and it was
that song.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It is really good movie.
Speaker 4 (10:24):

Junior from Hamilton and reports this morning this is real
say that the Shakira concert in New Jersey about a
week ago may have sparked a measles outbreak. Someone had
(10:50):
the measles and went to the show. And keep in mind,
Shakira comes to Fenway Park May twenty ninth. Unless this
turns into some being big and it could it could.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
God forbid. I'm looking at the complications from measles the list,
and they include air infections, hearing loss, pneumonia, diarrhea, blindness,
and swelling of the brain. Imagine having all of that
at once.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
Well, that's what I have a vaccine for it.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
I know.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
I'm surprised. It's still it has a life around it.
Speaker 9 (11:21):
Well that's because a lot of people aren't being vaccinated
for it.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Well maybe they should think about that.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
That's called emptying out. I mean and croup. What's croup?
Speaker 10 (11:31):
Oh, it's take a really bad thought, really deep cars awful.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
You mean everything you said earlier plus the croup plus croup.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah, yeah, you don't want the measles.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Let's just say, I guess not.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, No, I have no idea if I had them,
and there's no one alive in my family to ask.
Speaker 11 (11:50):
I think you.
Speaker 9 (11:51):
Probably would have known if you had the measles.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Wait, the vaccine from easels is younger than you.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I guess you could put it that way.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The moms, Yes, you did all over your body.
Speaker 3 (12:06):

when I was like eight years old.

Speaker 9 (15:18):
It's a commitment.
Speaker 4 (15:19):

She's her own full time job.
Speaker 4 (15:29):

From the Planet Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios. We're
back with Villie and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Okay, the nor'easter is starting to show itself. The rain
has begun, the wind is picking up. It's gonna get
really crazy this afternoon and early this evening. And we've
got our guy, Jason Michael from w BZTV News on
the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Jason, you there, Good morning to you.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
I'm here all right.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
So, Jason, before we get into the northeaster, we do
have a lot of people reaching out with questions and comments,
so listen to this.
Speaker 11 (20:06):
Could you please ask Jason what he thinks about the
weather for Saturday heading into.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
The North End.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Okay, Jason, Saturday heading to the North End, what do
you think?
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Well, first of all, my appetite is going to be
sort of searing here heading into the North End on Saturday.
But I think likely for lunch, fress ether dinner time
on Saturday, I think we can expect mainly cloudy skies
along with the spot shower. Chance, nothing too terribly heavy,
not too carefully dusty, and not too terribly unsettled.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Okay, so Saturday not that bad. Okay, that's the North End, right,
What about the South End?
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Good morning, it's the name of the South End. I
have a question for Jason Michaels Number one. I find
him very attractive, a beautiful dresser, and my question is
is he single? And if he is, I'd like to
take him for a cocktail over club cafe. We'll talk
about everything except weather. Let me know, Jason, you cutie.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Jason, your answer, your comment?
Speaker 9 (21:06):
I are you cutie?
Speaker 13 (21:10):
It is not?
Speaker 14 (21:12):
You know what?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
There are not many times where I'm absolutely speechless more
smitten it and I am both right now. I am
not single and I'm pretty sure my other half is
listening right now, so they might weigh in on this,
yeah as well. But I do like a good cocktail,
so I am. I am still gonna be able to
go to club cafe. Just name the time and name
(21:33):
with well.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
I'm sure the mayor of the South then will be
happy to host the two of you. Sounds like, yeah,
that has just becomes.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Something else, and I'm not talking about the letter at all.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Oh man, They'll be laying something.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah, maybe champagne and then okay, uh, this is a
serious storm, right Jason.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
It is a serious storm. It's a highly impactful storm system.
It is you know, it's no recourse that we have
to talk about in nor'easter in late May. But this
nor'easter we'll have a thumbprint of a wind swept type
of the bed here with heavy rain, steady rain later on.
Today we have both a wind advisory and coastal flood
advisory and effect. So it's making for a very wet
(22:19):
and also a very messy Thursday, and possibly for a
Friday as well.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Let me ask you another question. Does my boat have
any chance of survival at all?
Speaker 7 (22:30):
Your boat?
Speaker 11 (22:32):
Why?
Speaker 7 (22:32):
Yes? Of course it's your boat, isn't it. So anything
that involves Billy, it's going to be okay.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, well I'll be on it, holding it down and
trying to save it. I'm sure I'll go down with
the ship, Jason, is what he's saying. Yes, always, it.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Will not go down.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
Yes, yes, I don't think we need Noah over his
art today.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You know what's funny, Jason, somebody mentioned to me this
morning that on this exact day one year ago, it
was eighty nine degrees.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Oh. Oh, I will have to go back and verify,
because if it was eighty nine last year, let's say
we do it again next year.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
That's not happening this year.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
We have a little bit of wrinkle right in between.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
What's the temperature expected to be today?
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Roughly around fifty degrees and I will tell you it's
going to be a chilly fifty two oh.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
With the winds, yeah, and the rain and oh my god.
But now we keep hearing, oh, but we'll have Sunday
in Monday.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Will we.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
There will be improved conditions, noticeably improved conditions between Saturday
and Sunday. The key thing we have to remember is
we're still likely to have some gusty winds. And once
we get that south wind to push in between Sunday
and Monday, that's when we start to see the key
differences in our sky and also our temperatures, going from
the mid sixties on Sunday to the low seventies. And
the crowd goes wild from Monday for Memorials.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Okay, so Monday is worth cheering.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
Crawling out of it by Monday, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Literally crawling out through a basement window.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, so, oh god, all right, so here comes a
Memorial Day weekend. Jason, we can't thank you enough for
taking the time. I don't know you're busy over there
on Channel four.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, you guys are family anytime you call me up,
I'll be right here.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Thanks Jason, you Cutie Billy and Lisa justin. I think
you've kept the talkbackers waiting long enough.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I have so much to get to right now. I
just looked in and you were laughing to yours.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I'm laughing. I'm laughing my butt off in here. We
just had Jason Michael on to give an update in
the northeaster. We started with a talkback from the Mayor
of the South End. He's one of our talkbackers. Kind
of coming at Jason michaelty, but Jason took it well.
He is in a relationship and I don't know his
partner's name, but here he is.
Speaker 13 (24:45):
Hi Morning show crew, this is Jason Michael's other half.
And I would just like to dedicate to the Mayor
of the South End the song The Boy Is Mine.
I think that would be good to listen to. Anyways,
I would love to go to Club Cafe with the
Mayor of the South End, and I know Jason would
love to come to. So let's go, Mayor and we'll
have a cocktail and talk about the weather or maybe
(25:10):
not whatever you want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
It fine, what a cool guy.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
I love that.

a little cousin, Jimmy, who you know sadly had polio. Yes, yeah,
and now the polio. Did he pass from polio?
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Okay, Billy doesn't.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Probably, I'm not asking questions of the audience. Okay, anyways,
very private matter.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't want to upset you.
Speaker 12 (26:56):
Hey, everybody, just thinking about poor old cousin Jimmy and
wondering if any you have seen the very old John
Travolter movie Boy in a Plastic Bubble.

I need to find it and watch it now. Thanks,
he wasn't in a bubble. You need to stop this
line of interest. Okay, Well, it wasn't us that couldn't

this morning. I've had a really bad week and very unhappy,
and this morning listening to you guys laughing so out

and then that makes you laugh longer. It's great you guys,
keep it up.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Winnie, don't feel the need to say a single word,
because I know you're dying to say something.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
I don't want to.
Speaker 6 (28:22):
I have nothing to say about Jimmy. I just want
to know if he's.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Dead or alive.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
I'm assuming he's dead. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, and I wasn't trying to to make fun of
Jimmy at all. I just was referring to the fact
that you had a cousin who had polio that couldn't
come out of the house, and you used to go
and visit him to the landow to stare out the
window because you couldn't come in contact with him. Okay,
I'm just why daring out the window. He was waiting
(28:53):
for us to come to see his far window.
Speaker 9 (28:57):
It's nice.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
It was a wonderful time. Life was the highlight of
his day. Yeah, it comes bell.

took the time.

No, I think what's happening here could be the end
of my career. It's not a moment that we're celebrating
right now. Could imagine how sad that will be if
that's how it all is.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
It's not gonna end like that because I'm not trying
to make fun of yem. Yeah, I'm really not from

club event at Johnson in Burlington with Lisa's book Club
and Gregory Maguire, who wrote Wicked. We love that movie.
A lot of people came out to it. It was
a fantastic event.
Speaker 14 (30:09):
I am a fellow Wicked fan. I slept outside for
twenty seven hours in London to see a Dina Manzel
reprise her role as Alphaba. I saw it six times there.
I've seen it twelve times on Broadway. I've seen it
in la with Megan Hilty and Eden Espinoza. I've seen
it in Toronto with Shoshana Bean. I stole a poster
off the wall of the London Tube and got it
(30:31):
signed by Dina Manzel in London. Crazy Stories to tell.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
So she is a Wicked fan.
Speaker 10 (30:36):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
So Rabbi, if she was not at the event last night,
needs to listen to the podcast. Yes, it was amazing.
We played a bunch of it on the show this morning.
I mean, this guy had breaking news.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
He shared his time and these stories and a lot
of the stuff that he told us has never been
heard before.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, it was great. I was there. It was fantastic.
So catch the podcast. Lisa's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app.

five years ago and I called into kiss.

actually it was actually a big deal. They actually reached
out to the to us like though, oh really, yeah,
that particular incident. Yeah, because you know, if you're on
a jury, you probably shouldn't be calling calling a radio stage.
We can't control what people say, you know, and we
pick up the phone. We don't know what they're going
to talk about. We don't know what they're going to
talk about. You know, phone lines are always open on

this morning. That's our buddy from WBC TV, to give
us an update on Nor'easter. But also this weekend, Memorial

to be good or bad? He says, Well, the end
of the weekend to'll be okay.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
There will be improved conditions, noticeably improved conditions between Saturday
and Sunday. The key thing we have to remember is
we're still likely to have some gusty winds. And once
we get that south wind to push in between Sunday
and Monday, that's when we start to see the key
differences in our sky and also our temperatures going from
the mid sixties on Sunday to the low seventies. And
the crowd goes wild for Monday.
Speaker 4 (32:42):

extensively about Billy's cousin, Jimmy. Cousin Jimmy contracted polio as
a child, and there were some questions as to whether
Jimmy was alive or not. Billy, you're not sure if
he's a lie. We hope that he is. But the
good news is there's a good possibility he could be.
