Last night's book club with Dave Portnoy was a huge hit, with a packed house and a lively discussion that covered everything from his new book to his philanthropic efforts during the pandemic. But that's not all - we also got the latest on the Noah contest, where you could win front porch pit tickets to see Noah Kahan at Fenway. And if you thought that was exciting, just wait until you hear about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding, which is reportedly taking place at Madison Square Garden.

This episode was a wild ride, with the hosts discussing everything from the latest news and pop culture to their personal lives and interests. They also dove into some interesting topics, including the trend of Gen Zers joining "lie down clubs" to recover from hustle culture, and the surprising fact that 52% of people don't rinse off before getting into a public pool. And of course, no episode would be complete without some hilarious moments, like the hosts' reactions to a recent viral video of Dave Portnoy's cupping mark.

But what really stood out in this episode was the hosts' conversation with Dave Portnoy, who shared some amazing stories about his life and business. From his journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur to his philanthropic efforts during the pandemic, Dave was open and honest about his experiences. And let's just say that his love for his dog, Miss Peaches, is truly heartwarming.

If you want to hear more about last night's book club, the Noah contest, and all the other exciting topics discussed in this episode, tune in to listen to the full show. Don't miss out on the fun and insightful conversations - listen now and get ready to be entertained!

They're literally pouring in. Everyone wants these tickets, so good
luck on that. All right, headlines here, I'll read the headline.
You tell me whether it's real or fake. First one,
experts say, always shower before you get in a public pool.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yes, I'm going to say this is.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
True in this pool season.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Least I've seen signs up at public pools over the years.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh yeah, rinse off, rintse off, hot inn Yeah, okay,
that's real.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Yeah, definitely. So do either of you shower before you
go into a public pool? When's the time you worry?

Speaker 3 (07:41):
You get shower in the morning?

Speaker 4 (07:42):
So I mean, when were you in a public pool?

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, we used to belong to the Cunningham Park pool,
Builton years ago before we had a pool.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Okay, right, Well, fifty two percent of people say they
do not rinse off before getting into a public pool.
Forty four percent do is an instructor that wants to explos.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
In it all ever, get in and out of the
pool without either rinsing off or taking the shower.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
By rinsing off before it allows the pools to stay clean.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
The hair full goes in your hair actually absorb fresh water,
not the chlorine.

Speaker 11 (08:12):
Water well to the best of its ability before you
go into the chlorine.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
So it's actually I don't think anyone's doing this. No,
I just don't.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Think no, right, no, not really.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
No one that comes to my pool showers before they
go and they just go in right and then they pee.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
You know, they're not telling people at your house pool, hey,
make sure you jump in the shower first.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
What I've never said that. I mean, we have an
outdoor shower, but I've never once said, please shower.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Before enter hair. Okay, And by the way, I always
say that no kids that come swim in the pool
if I have a party ever use the bathroom. But
one child did, My daughter Gemma, when she has to pee,
she tells me gets out and then oh.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
My god, I love her for that.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Oh that's great. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
The best is I have her going the just in
the backyard in the woods. Oh, instead of going into
the house. Yeah, just the woods.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yeah, are you on her track and water in Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:02):
No, no tracking water.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
She just goes. So now she just gets out and
goes into the woods. It's New Hampshire. What do you
want all right. Next headline here Pennsylvania, Lisa, your home
home states, there's a town looking for a solution to
an influx of hawks after being overrun by gerbils.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I can see this happening in PA.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
It's very much like newhamp I've seen hawks in the
news a lot lately.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go reel on this one.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
They on you really made that up, baby, that's a
creative one.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, there's hawks at my house, so popped into my head.
I have hawks to Yeah, they circle the chickens that
we have staying in the coop. We don't really let
them out, so there you huh. Yeah, well the hawks
will come down and oh yeah, it won't be pretty.
You don't want that. Rip the head right off, all right.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Next headline, it's.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Crazy small towns are canceling their Fourth of July fireworks
show is because they can't afford them anymore.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
We've seen this in the news. It's got to be real. Yeah,
a lot of local towns have canceled their fireworks. Well.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
With America celebrating it's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, cities
across the country are going all out with massive firework displays.
But that means the smaller towns are getting squeezed. They
say skyrocketing prices and tariffs and all that stuff. Imagine
Fourth of July no fireworks.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
That's terrible.

Speaker 12 (10:33):
It's very disappointing.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
I don't think it was the right.

Speaker 9 (10:35):
This is year we come as a family, do all
our festivities, and then we watched the show we.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Like, Okay, yeah, I was ready.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
There was definitely some tariffs this year, but we actually
did not raise our prices at all. As the owner,
I'm going to eat the TIFFs this year and not
mark anything up for my customers.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Okay, that's tough. Yeah, that's tough. You know, today is
my wife's birthday. It's July second, so she's a Fourth
of July baby essentially. Sure loves fireworks. Are you still
doing them at the house?

Speaker 4 (11:06):
What's that?

Speaker 13 (11:06):
No?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, No, I've moved on from that.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Well, when I first moved there, I was lighting dynamite.
Not anymore though, all right, last one here, guys burned
out gen zers. We just had a jaen z sorry
last hour. Are joining lie down clubs to recover from
hustle culture?

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Is that real? I have to admit I saw the story.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm going real.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's very real.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's sad, but it's very real. You saw this story, Yes,
I did. God, that's why you're the news man. Yeah, yeah, Bill,
They're tired. There's a new club for young people that
want to just go to a park in New York
and lie down. They use it to combat the stress
of hustle culture. As one of the members of the

(11:53):
quote club, rest Stop.

Speaker 12 (11:55):
If you haven't heard.

Speaker 11 (11:56):
I am starting a free third space for people who
just want to lie down and have a break. This
is good for the people who are retiring from hustle culture.
If your nervous system is shot and you feel overwhelmed.

Speaker 13 (12:07):
Come the clip.

Speaker 10 (12:08):
Rest off.

Speaker 11 (12:09):
Here's some reasons why you should go in. You're tired
of every social activity revolving around productivity. You miss third
spaces that don't require spending money.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
You want to slow down.

Speaker 11 (12:20):
Without feeling guilty about it, and you want a free activity.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
That leads you feeling better than when you started.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
I think this is going to be a big hit.
Oh really, definitely, really do.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's going to be hot out there. Don't you want
to hustle though? Isn't that key to success.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
I think people are retooling their idea of what it
means to be successful.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Okay, it's not all about money.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
So let me get distressed. Hold on, let me get
this straight.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Last hour it was they're not drinking because they don't
have enough money. They're not making enough money. But instead
of hustling, they're lying down.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, you got to be wrestled distress of all of it.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
You got to hustle right least every day.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
I must every day, I must, really.

Speaker 6 (13:05):

It's such a great.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
Song, such a jaz I love that song so much
so this morning we were talking about it off the air,
Justin and I and I said, you know that she
performed at the Kanye Kim wedding and You're like, no,
she didn't.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
I'm like, she did.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
She did?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Hi ironic though, and she's doing tailors.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
I looked that up. That's true.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Not only that at the proposal they had an orchestra
doing that song, and then the wedding she sang at
Anna del.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Rey, Wow, what are you think it's going to be
their wedding song? Oh that's a good mmmm.

Speaker 13 (16:00):
Well.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Stevie Nix is performing.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Yeah, Well, maybe maybe it's an Ed Sharon song.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Ed's going He's not on the performer list, but he
is going.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, maybe he'll get up on stage he does that randomly.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Maybe he'll sing.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Perfect Oh yeah, No, it's knowing Taylor, it's gonna be
some like weird song that it's not gonna be like
a common song.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
I don't think. And the entire nick starting lineup is gone.

Speaker 10 (16:24):
I know.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
That's yeah, there's so many questions about this.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
Yeah, she went to one game in the Friends.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
I want to say that.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
I asked Dave Portnoy last night what his favorite tailor song,
and I think he said it was Enchanted.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Okay, so maybe that will be the wedding song.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, doors today open at three thirty. They go until
two in the morning. That's the rehearsal. And like Lisa said,
it's one hundred people today, it's more than a thousand
tomorrow for the main event.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
It's gonna be wilder, aren't you.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Okay, anything can happen, you know. That's the thing I
was wondering about last night with Taylor and Travis. Would
Taylor let Travis get completely crazy?

Speaker 4 (17:16):
That's what I wanted The wedding. I mean, it's their wedding, right.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
What if he decides I hang out as some drinks
with the boys and I'm sure viva. Yeah, I guess
we'll see. But congrats to Taylor and Travis. This is
a big deal. You know, Justin and I were talking
off the air at least you remember how it all
started with Travis showing up at Taylor's concert in the

(17:40):
giant State, his own stadium, with the bracelets and everything,
dying to meet Taylor. I don't know that he ever
got to meet her that night. Now, security wouldn't let
him into his own stadium.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Yeah, the security guard, he knew he saw. I think
it was a she. You know, he'd see her all
the time, but she wouldn't let him down. And we
made fun of Travis for that, I know, ripped him,
like dude. Taylor's not going to remember.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Billy thought it was all like a total scam and
that they weren't together at all.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Remember that.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
I was convinced it was an industry thing, the record
label and the NFL teaming up just to have a
big story.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
We did do a bet on that, but I lost
the paper. Oh I think we should have won money
on that LEAs, Yeah, I think we should.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
It's best that the paper just stay lost.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Just another loss for the Mush. But interestingly, Lisa had
her book club which was sensational last night, and by
the way, we're going to take you there coming up
at nine ten this morning. A lot of a lot
of great conversation between Lisa and her book club members
and Dave Portnoy. It was an incredible night. We're going
to take you there. I have a lot of the

(18:47):
highlights from last night at nine ten. But meantime, Lisa
last night asked Dave about the Taylor Travis wedding and
the fact that they are supposedly doing it at Madison
Square Garden.

Speaker 12 (18:58):
I'm stunned.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
I can't believe they're doing it there. I mean, I
absolutely can't believe. I don't know why. And Taylor has
obviously done a one eighties since she's been dating Travis,
because she's so private and really didn't really like mixing
the public. I can't believe they're doing it there. I
thought she'd be a watch Hill girl for sure.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Right, we can't either. I mean, you're a swifty, I'm
a swifty. We were I mean everybody's.

Speaker 12 (19:23):
You know, it's one hundred and ten degrees.

Speaker 6 (19:25):
Miss, I don't even it just it just seems so impersonal.

Speaker 12 (19:30):
They say they're building a castle or something.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, that's that's what came out today.

Speaker 7 (19:34):
There's a there's a small group thinking that she's throwing
people off like she's doing as a diversion, but that's
hard to believe.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Well, halfway through the book club last night, we all
got word that the Jalen Brown trade had just gone down.
And here's day's reaction.

Speaker 7 (19:52):
The trade they just did definitely doesn't make the Celtics
better if it if they say, if Embeid is healthy,
which is a one in billion chance, it does make
them better.

Speaker 12 (20:06):
He's an MVP, he's.

Speaker 7 (20:08):
A finals MVP, so that will always sort of resonate.

Speaker 12 (20:11):
I think he's a weird guy, Like he's always.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
Saying in doing things that you may be like, eh,
like should you be on twitch saying you had your
best season ever when we just got bounced?

Speaker 12 (20:21):
Probably not. But he was a great Celtic when he
was here. They had to make a change. It wasn't winning, and.

Speaker 7 (20:29):
I think once they tried to trade him for Giannis,
you could put the Genie back in the ball.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Speaking of Jalen Brown saying weird things. You might remember
when the Celts were eliminated by the Sixers first round
of the playoffs. By the way, Jalen Brown called the
Embiid of the Sixers a flopper.

Speaker 14 (20:50):
Flopping has ruined our game. Joel Embiid is a great player,
one of the best bigs in basketball history. Flops you
know it say breaking news he's playing with.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
It seems like, yes, thank you, thank you. Just a
terrible trade. Yeah, no, you know, like people are outraged
about this injury prone.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Everyone was booing one giant it was.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Dave thought they were booing Jaylen. They were booing the trade.
He actually corrected that on his ig. Yes, but yeah,
Paul George thirty six years old, injury prone, a couple
of first round draft picks.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
So Jlen Brown.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, So the first time JB walked into the locker
room of the Sixers, what does he say to himbid, Well, he.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Looks up at him first of all, because he's taller
than probably people are upset man.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, okay, By the way, can I mention something on
the portnoy. Yeah, there was a video posted on the
kiss instagram of the three of us talking to Dave.
But it's taken from the back and I have a
red mark on my neck below my Yeah, it's confusing
a lot of people.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
It's a copping mark. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I forgot the event was going on and saw Jenna
my stretching. Yeah, and she put the cups on my neck.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
We all saw the mark fast. It looks weird. I'm
sorry we didn't say it.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
I know it's cupping.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, but you know in the video that's posted it's clear.
So people are kind of like, what's going on with
your neck?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Are you dying? Do you have a disease?

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh yeah, do you have scabies on your neck?

Speaker 4 (22:26):
No, it's just cupping.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
World Cup soccer. How about Team US beating Bosnia yesterday?
So they advanced now to the round of sixteen. There's
the fun whistle seeing sixteen to the United States just
fucking down for half an hour.

Speaker 12 (22:44):
He has been moss. It hurts, and it's going on in.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
The next round time. Yeah, another wild match.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yesterday Belgium came from to nothing down to beat Senegal.
The interesting thing about that we were all in the
green room last not at least with Dave Portnoy, and
you know, we're holding conversations with him, but he keeps
looking up at the TV screen, looking at it his
cell phone. It's because he had a big bet on Senegal.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
And he's a mush like Billy. I mean, Dave is
a pretty good better, yes, but not for the World Cup.
He explained that to us. He's lost like every single
bet in the World Cup and Senegal was up to
zip Belgium came back.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yeah, wild game. I'm gonna miss the World Cup. Yeah,
you know, it's been an unbelievable experience in.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
So many ways.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
It's heating up now. Oh yeah, eating up now.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
Were brought to you by the ninety nine Restaurants.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Just doing her best.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss, one of eight studios.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
We're back with Billy and Lisa.

Speaker 8 (23:59):
In the law name.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
So Last Night's book Club with Lisa and Dave Portnoy,
packed house, huge lines, people waiting in line, in the scorching.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
He just to get in and Lisa, I must.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Say, Dave seemed very open, very comfortable all night.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
He did well.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
He walked in with his parents and his girlfriend and
his girlfriend's parents and they went out to dinner ahead
of time and then we hung out. So yeah, I
think he was just like happy to be back in
Boston and it was a packed house.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
And he talked about everything he did.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
He well.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
I asked, you know, are there anything, you know, questions
that are off limits to his PR person, and she's like, nope,
go for it.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
I love that. Yeah, that's like our dream.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah he's but that's yeah, but that's who he is. Authentic, Yeah,
authentic Dave.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
So where do you want to start?

Speaker 6 (24:43):
I'm guessing the I want to start with how I
told the crowd how he came to my book club.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
Yeah, she sent him a DM so, I mean, I'm
local obviously, so I recognized you just one to wait,
and I knew I'd be doing something in Boston, so
it was a no brainer.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
So I literally just picked up my phone when Otober morning,
and I was just like screw it, I'm just gonna
I'm going to DMM and he got back to within
forty five minutes.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
And it was so cool to hear him explain that
very quickly because we've told that story a million times.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
How he got right back to you, right, And it's
like it went through. He saw your name, knew who
you were, new kiss, went away and was like, yeah,
I'll do that. Yeah. It was fantastic and it's funny too.
When Billy walked back there to meet him, he looked
at Billy and he goes, how haven't we met?

Speaker 3 (25:24):
It's so true?

Speaker 6 (25:25):
Right, So then I started asking him about the book
because it's a book club and I usually ask authors do.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
They know the ending of a book before they start?
And that's what I asked him.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
It was always going to end when I got the
company back, Okay, when I started the process of the book,
and when I got the company back. That's I bought
the company back for a dollar from the company. That
from Penn who bought it, and that was big news.
Everyone's like, how the hell did he do that? They
paid five hundred million for it, and then he bought
it back for a dollar, like six months later, So
there was a story behind that that it was forced

(25:58):
to sign an NDA for that said I could never
tell the story, so I was like, how do I
end it? I kind of want to tell the story,
and we're getting ahead, but Penn wanted to do a
deal with ESPN and kick us out basically, and that
deal fell apart right as I was finishing the book,
and I called Penn. I'm like, can I tell that

(26:20):
ESPN tried to fire me from my own company.

Speaker 12 (26:22):
Now They're like, yeah, we don't like them either.

Speaker 7 (26:24):
So it was the perfect timing for me to finish it.
I was literally like winding down, how do I finish it?

Speaker 12 (26:31):
And then I got that gift.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
It's a pretty interesting story, very cool story, and it
was a big story at.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
The time, very big.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Then we moved on to Miss Peaches, which that's all
anyone wanted to talk about last night, and he had
this to say about a portion of the book sales.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
Ten bucks for every single book, I'm going to give
the Lifeline Animal Shelter.

Speaker 12 (26:52):
Which is where I got Pete and Miss Peaches.

Speaker 7 (26:57):
And really I said that when I got Misspeached, because
everything at Barstool does does not happen on purpose.

Speaker 12 (27:03):
It's very organic.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
So I filmed the video of myself getting Mispeaches because
I wanted.

Speaker 12 (27:08):
It for myself, and it just hit a nerve.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
Instantly with like dog people, and they loved it, so
I started posting more.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
She just blew up so fast.

Speaker 12 (27:16):
But every penny.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
Whether it's merch, we've sold Peaches, whatever it is, we
give back to animal charities and try to help save
other dogs.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
I get to tell you something least.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was standing side stage and I was looking directly
at Dave as you were talking to him, and the
minute I couldn't help, but notice the minute you mentioned
miss Peaches, he teared up, like he got really emotional
just the mention of her name.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
Well, I think we can all agree that when he
adopted her, I don't know, it was like he became
not a different person, he just became like really happy,
so much joy. And he also said that the miss
Peaches has like a wardrobe closet, like, because I asked,
are you still dressing her up?

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Put her in downs and take it on red carpet.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
And he said absolutely, yeah, yeah, and I.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Don't bring her around anymore because she just gets mobbed. Yeah,
like Pete the Beegle is not really a people kind
of dog us to, but Peaches just gets attacked.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
In a good way, and in a good way, all right.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
So I then asked him what is he most proud of,
and he mentioned what he did for businesses over COVID.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
All these businesses were shut down, and I was talking
loudly about it. I was basically like, something has to
be done for these small businesses.

Speaker 12 (28:32):
You can't. You either have to give them money or
you're gonna let him stay open. It can't be you
can be closed and you get no money.

Speaker 7 (28:37):
Because these are lifelong businesses going out of businesses. So
I put him five hundred thousand my own money, and
I said, we are going to try to raise money.
Send us an email of your company, and as long
as you've been successful, like you have a track record
of success.

Speaker 12 (28:54):
The only thing that changed.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
Is COVID, we will try to help you out as
best we can. So we got inundated with emails from
companies and what we did would we'd send them their expense.

Speaker 12 (29:06):
They had to have their employees.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
That was part of it, Like we wanted people still
be employed and say somebody needed seventy grand a month
for electric payroll, whatever it is. Every single month, we'd
send a check for seventy thousand. And I mean from
the second you were approved into our program, you had
the money.

Speaker 12 (29:22):
Twenty four hours later, there was.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
None anywhere else, Like the government, it's like, we'll get
you the money.

Speaker 12 (29:29):
Well they're going to be gone.

Speaker 7 (29:30):
So we raised close to fifty million for that, saved
over four hundred and fifty businesses.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
That's huge. And I remember that it was.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
Instant money and that wasn't happening anywhere else.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
So then I asked him about the one byte pizza reviews,
because that's that in some ways, that's the way people
know Dave is through that, and I asked like behind
the scenes questions like how big is your stat how
do you pick the pizza places.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
It's morphed because when it started, I'm a north shoregan
I and everyone's like yeah, everyone, and everyone's like Salt
Shore has the best bar pie.

Speaker 12 (30:06):
You gotta go, you gotta go just side.

Speaker 7 (30:10):
There's a big debate town Spa versus Linwood. So it's
like all right, let yeah, let me go try it.
And I just was like one bite, here's a score.
And then I expanded the bar pie, so Cape Cod pizza,
Poopsie pizza.

Speaker 12 (30:26):
Like I started doing all bar pies and they all started.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Yelling out the Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
And Lindwood is a legend and always has been with
the pizza.

Speaker 12 (30:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
So he literally he did one yesterday. Yeah in Brighton.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
Yeah, he walks in with one guy and they just.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Do it again. The magic of Dave Portnoy.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Okay, moving on Taylor Swift, I said, what are your
thoughts on the wedding at MSG.

Speaker 12 (30:52):
I'm stunned.

Speaker 7 (30:54):
I can't believe they're doing it there. I mean, I
absolutely can't believe. I don't know why In has obviously
done a one eighties since she's been dating Travis, because
she's so private and really didn't really like mixing the public.
I can't believe they're doing it there. I thought she'd
be a watch hill girl for sure.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Right, we can't either.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
I mean, you're swifty, I'm a swiftye we were, I mean,
everybody's here.

Speaker 12 (31:17):
It's one hundred degrees.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
I don't even it, just it just seems so impersonal.

Speaker 12 (31:23):
I say they're building a castle or something.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yeah, that's that's what came out today.

Speaker 7 (31:28):
There's a there's a small group thinking that she's throwing
people off like she's doing it as a diversion.

Speaker 12 (31:34):
But that's hard to believe.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
I guess we're gonna see today the day.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
I know, imagine if he goes, I asked him, I
know he's of course he's gonna say no.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Yeah, wow.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
All right.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
The last question I was doing like hot takes, and
I said, Jaylen Brown.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Okay before we play this. Yes, I think you broke
the news to him. Yeah, you get that failing. Yes,
I don't think he knew, but he's had an answer.

Speaker 12 (32:00):
The trade they just.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
Did definitely doesn't make the Celtics better.

Speaker 12 (32:07):
If they say if em beat is helping, which is
a one in a billion.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Did you hear that? Yeah, they held. He wasn't sure yet.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
He was learning about it, but they booed. That was
something the entire all fifteen hundred people were booing.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
But he thought he actually he posted a video afterwards.

Speaker 10 (32:23):
He did.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
He originally thought they were booing Jayalen. He corrected it.
They were booing the trade. Yes, no one's happening.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Kids went away. It's the morning wrap up on Billy
and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
All right, good morning, everybody. If you're just tuning into

Speaker 2 (32:47):

on the Instagram. It was an amazing event. Seems like
everyone loved it.

Speaker 13 (32:53):
I went to the book club last night with my
daughter and we had a great time. I thought Dave
port as rich as he is. He's very laid back
and what you see is what you get. But I
thought it was funny talking about seeing his book in
the airport and he kind of slid in there that
he doesn't fly commercial anymore, but subtle.

Speaker 9 (33:14):
But I thought that was cute.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yes, I remember that when because he said he wrote
the book because he wanted to see it in the airport.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
And I said, you mean Hudson News. Yeah, that logan.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
He's like, yeah, exactly, but I don't fly.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, And then he said that, and I was like,
good for him for actually saying that.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Yeah, No important. I really enjoyed it because now he's
following you Lisa.
