Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now best morning show in Boston, Billy and Lisa.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
In the morning.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on kids.

Speaker 4 (00:07):
Hey friends, good morning, welcome in. It is a Billy
and Lisa show. Justin Billy, Lisa Winnie. Thank you so
much for listening. We have so much to get to
this morning. First of all, Jonas Brothers Fenway Park this weekend.
You want to go eight ten. We have your tickets
and it also qualifies you for that grand prize, which
is seats right up front on the turf. You'll be
like feet away from the Jonahs Brothers. So eight ten

(00:30):
stand by for that. In the meantime, you're probably on
the road listening to us right now. Maybe traffic's terrible. Well,
probably traffic's terrible. And what do you know, Billy has
the list of the top ten worst cities to drive
in in America.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
Where does Boston.

Speaker 6 (00:45):
Fall at number nine?

Speaker 7 (00:47):
Yes, is Providence, Rhode Island, Okay, number five, Springfield, Massachusetts, Okay?
At number four Worcester, Massachusetts.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
Now at this point, wait, this is a nationwide this
is nationwide top ten of the country.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yes, driving cities.

Speaker 7 (01:09):
Yeah, are you wondering what the riskiest city in America
would be in terms of driving and colliding into one another.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Let me gas, is it Boston Untain?

Speaker 7 (01:17):
It is definitely Boston, Massachusetts number one, number one in
the country.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Drivers are almost three and a half times as likely
to be in an accident compared to the national.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Average because we're so angry and aggressive.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
We're an angry city when it comes to driving. Everybody
leaning on the horn, banging into each other.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
And you know what it is, too is I never
realized I was that way until I drive in other places. Yeah,
if I go to Florida and I'm driving in Florida,
I get like aggressive and angry and I don't even
realize I'm doing it because they're driving too slow or
then I'm yelling.

Speaker 7 (01:49):
And you know, the Northeast, which includes Boston, which is
number one, is risky for driving overall. In the top ten,
we've got four in the top ten. We're an angry bunch.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
And New York's not even in the top ten.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Well, New York has a lot of public transportation options.

Speaker 7 (02:07):
Yeah, Like, whenever I talk to people in New York,
they don't even own a car. Most don't, right, So yeah,
they're taking public transportation, which looks to be a little
dangerous to me.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
But uh yeah, well that's a conception.

Speaker 8 (02:20):
Everyone thinks, Oh New York's so aggressive. There are you know,
there's so much traffic, But we have way more drivers
actually in this area.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
We do.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
Yeah, how did we become number one?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh, billy, I'm not surprised at all. It's still aggressive.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
So let's talk about insurance rates.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Oh they're so high, right, Oh yeah they must be.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah here, they're the highest.

Speaker 7 (02:38):
I believe they're going up to every year. For what
it's worth. Texas leads the nation for safe driving.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Oh they'll shoot you though, for.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Most of them are on horseback.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
Well, Texas is going okay.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
It's wide open spaces.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Driving Texas is so easy. Yeah, I've been a down couple.
They just went in March and literally ten miles is
ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
And plus they're the highways are much wider. Like we're
just trying to fit too many cars into a very
small space, and that creates problems. People get angry, they
start bumping into each other. Then you've got distracted driving
with all everyone on their cell phones.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
Yeah, every time I get in the car.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
Now, I think we have way too many cars no
matter what time, way, what road you're taking, it's all jammed.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I just feel like we're all squeezing in.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Yeah, but I drove in New York recently and I
almost hit a million people with the petty cabs.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah, you got it.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
But they weren't.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
They weren't in the car, they were on That's true.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
I almost hit them on my car though, that for sure.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Yeah, I would never take a car through New York City.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
No, it's it's pretty brutal. It's pretty brutal. But yeah,
in Boston it's it's not even just the accidents, it's
the road rage and oh god, people get so angry.

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Then I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 (03:59):
Like, I love bicycles, right, I love riding my bike,
but there's something about the bike lanes that make no
sense in certain cities around Boston.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I have to say, I love biking too, but it's
been very distracting all of the new configurations in the city.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Yeah, do you know in the city of Medford the
bike lanes are in the middle of the road. Now,
that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. That
you've got cars on both side of you, sides of you,
and now.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
You've got these white poles too.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
Oh yeah, you have to watch.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Out for and not hit.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Well, no offense for our biker friends.

Speaker 8 (04:32):
But I mean, we don't have the climate to bike
all year round, So why are the bike lanes taking
up all the space all year round?

Speaker 7 (04:38):
That's always been a pet peeve of mine, like, why
don't they open up all the lanes when it's cold
weather and snowy weather? Why do we have to you know,
acknowledge the bike lanes and the other lanes. That bug
me is when you now park your car in the
middle of the street. Yeah, because the bike.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
Line, the lane closes the curve is a bike lane.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
It's not even more confusing.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
Yeah, God, who's thinking of all this stuff?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Number one in the whole country though. Yeah, we love
our city.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Night blanker pale.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yeah, I see what I mean. That's why.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, that's the.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Anger we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios, we're
back with Villie and Lisa in the morning. Kiss.

Speaker 7 (05:21):
We've got authored Dave Wedge in studio and this just
ranged the way this happened.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Okay, So your buddy who is the chef and recently
and said you need to connect with a Boston author
named Dave Wedge, and you got you right about true crime,
and we love true crime here. We just came off
the heels of the Karen Reid trial, and I know
that you're working on a Karen read book.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
But people if they don't know Dave Wedge.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Dave Wedge wrote Boston Strong with Casey Sherman, which was
turned into Patriots Day starring Mark Wahlberg.

Speaker 9 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, Casey and I wrote that book back in
twenty fourteen. I was a reporter at the Boston Herald
for fourteen years and led the Herald's coverage when that
all happened. I was out there in Watertown that night,
in the middle of the night, and.

Speaker 6 (06:05):
You were there when they were searching for the guy
in the boat.

Speaker 9 (06:08):
I got sent out as soon as Sean Collier got
shot over and over at MI T. I got sent out,
and as I was on my way there, I got
diverted from there to Watertown because we heard on the
scanner of.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
The bombs wow in the shootout. So I was stuck
out there.

Speaker 9 (06:20):
Actually my car was actually trapped in the crime scene,
and I got stuck out there through the through the night.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
You were that close. I was in the crimes of
what was going down.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
That must have been a crazy time because they were
looking for the guy, right, they were everywhere. And then
all of a sudden, the story popped from M I
T and the M I T cop was shot, and
then you hear it, you're running.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
Out it was it was not.

Speaker 9 (06:41):
My son, who's now twelve, was two weeks old, and
my wife, Jessica had the baby on maternity leave, and
I came home after covering the bombings all day, and
then we heard the shooting of Sean Collier on the TV.
When I finally sat down and was trying to help
with the baby finally and I said, you know, this
doesn't happen. Something's wrong, and I kind of knew right
away it had to be connected. Then I got sent out.

Speaker 7 (07:03):
So God, I've seen the movie five or six times
and they get to the scene at the boat.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Like I'm getting hills now just thinking about it.

Speaker 9 (07:09):
It's amazing that more police officers weren't killed in that.
It was really an an incredibly intense moment.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Wow, what made you write the book?

Speaker 9 (07:18):
Well, as I said, I've been a reporter for fourteen years,
always wanted to do a book. I was a report
of twenty years. Actually, I had a few opportunities with
a couple other stories over the years, but nothing that
really jumped out at me and made me say, you
know what, I want to dedicate a year or two
of my life to this. But when the bombings happened,
I knew someone was going to do it. I knew
there probably be a bunch of books, and I was like,
you know what, I'm in the middle of it. I

(07:39):
have access to all these people. I know I can
do a good job on it in case. He's an
amazing writer, he had just come off The Finest Hours,
which is a beautiful book movie, and he's a friend,
so I knew we would do a great job together.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
So it was kind of a no brainer for me
to jump in.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
At least a couple of seconds ago mentioned Karen Read.
Is your Karen Read book, the one they're talking about
the big film.

Speaker 9 (07:59):
Unfortunately, Oh that's Karen Reid herself with her attorney Alan Jackson.

Speaker 6 (08:03):
But this is another one. I was thinking about doing
a book.

Speaker 9 (08:06):
On the Karen Read case way back before the first trial,
when it all first started happening, and I kind of
tabled it to write this book that I just came
out about Marvelous Marvin Hagler. When the second trial came up,
I jumped back in after I finished this one, and
I've been working on my Karen Read book for the
past six months, seven months.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
It seems like in Boston we have a lot of
true crime stories.

Speaker 9 (08:28):
Oh yeah, it's you know, it's there's so many great
stories in the world where a culture of storytellers just
humans in general. But in Boston we're really good at
telling stories and a lot of really incredible stories come
out of it. And the bombing is a great example.
You know, there was books about the terrorist, you know,
those books about different people involvement, but we wrote the
story about the survivors and how they overcame and that

(08:49):
redemption moment and some of the survivors that lost limbs
and then ran the marathon the next year, and you know,
that's what Pattens Strong is.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
That's why we wrote it. You know, were you happy
with the way the movie came out.

Speaker 9 (09:01):
I think it's a great movie. You know, it's they
did they did When it first came out, it was raw,
so it was a little like you know, I wasn't sure,
but I watched it for the ten year anniversary last year,
and I think it's held up well. I think it
captured the spirit of what happened. I think Mark Wahlberg
did a great job and Pete Burg's a great timent.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Did they have you on the set?

Speaker 6 (09:20):
We were on set a good amount.

Speaker 9 (09:21):
Yeah, And you know, we didn't write the script, but
you know, they kept us in the loop and we
worked with them to make sure things were right and accurate.
And you know, I couldn't say better things about Peteburg
and Mark Wahlberg the wonderful word with Berg is amazingly talented,
very talented guy. And that was a difficult story at
a difficult time. Remember the FBI. There was things the
FBI didn't want out, like, there was moments where Pete

(09:43):
had to actually meet with the FBI, the clear stuff.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
It was a it was a difficult, difficult movie to make,
and we were in a time where again it was
very raw. Now with the Karen Read book, will you
have talks with Karen Reid?

Speaker 9 (09:54):
I have met with Karen a couple of times before
the first trial. I've talked to Alan Jackson many but
you know, they're going to do their own books. So
I'm going to skate my lane and write my book,
and my book will be the definitive story of what
happened in the case from all sides.

Speaker 7 (10:08):
Well, Dave, if you want some really hardcore research, it
so happens we're going to have Karen Reid's a lawyer
or Robert A. Let's say, on this show tomorrow morning.
I will be listening, putting your alarm up right after
nine o'clock tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I'm sure Dave will be listening. Actually, because you're a
good reporter.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
Absolutely, now I will. I would love it if our
show was part of the research. Can you put us
in the book maybe? And you know, you know, maybe
get in the movie.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
So Dave has a new book out. It's called Blood
and Hate, the marvelous Marvin Hagler's story about the Boxer.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
But the biggest thing is is that it's been.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Optioned by actor Sam Rockwell, who was just in The
White Lotus.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (10:44):
So this book is kind of my labor of love.
It's my love letter to the city I grew up in, Brockton.
It's my eighth book, and again it's one that I
kind of thought about doing for a few years, and
then I finally did it after I finished my last book,
which was about bikers and cops and stuff, a true
crime called.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Riding with Evil.

Speaker 9 (11:02):
I wanted to write this book with Marvin when he
was alive, but after he passed away, I was like,
you know what, this guy's legacy has never really been secured.
A lot of people think of Marvin Hagler, they think, oh,
he lost to Sugary Lenon and then disappeared. But to me,
Marvin's story is this story, which is him escaping Newark
as a little boy, fighting the corruption in the seventies
and eighties in the box and they're winning this fight
in London in nineteen eighty against a guy that was

(11:24):
backed by a white power group and he was pelted
with bottles after he won.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
The fight, and that's what the story is about. Yeah,
at least it was telling me that in the Marvin story.

Speaker 7 (11:33):
I wasn't to realize this because we would have Marvin
on the show a lot, you know, right out of Brockton, Yeah,
World Channel.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
But he dealt with a lot of racism.

Speaker 9 (11:41):
He did in that fight specifically, and it was nineteen
eighty and The guy he fought was a guy named
Alan Minter, and he was from London, Ama, and he
was the great White Hope. And there was a white
power group that loved the guy. They backed him. It
was called the National Front. Before the fight, Marvin and
Alan had a press conference and Alan said at that
press conference that no black man will have to take
my title. No imagine saying that today. Oh, viral doesn't

(12:04):
even describe it. There was no viral back then, but
it stuck. It caused a wound and element to pay
for that comment.

Speaker 7 (12:10):
Now, Dave a little bit earlier on the show, I
told Marvin Hagler story that I had from an old
Kiss concert.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
I'm not sure you'll find it in the book though,
when he.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Was backstage you missed that with Yeah, he was.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
He was a man about town. You know a lot
of people.

Speaker 9 (12:27):
The beautiful thing about this book is I'm out doing
events all the time now and book signings, and it's
wonderful to hear people like you come up from, you know,
from people in their you know, forties and fifties at
New Marvin songs. Even they spent time when they hung
out with him and went to his fights, and we
call him the fifth franchise in Brockton because he was
as big as the Patriots.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
Red Sox back in the day. Yeah, I loved him
in this region, justin you had your hand in.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
The Joe Rogan, you know, one of the biggest podcasters
in the world, grew up in Boston.

Speaker 5 (12:56):
He was a big Marvin fan.

Speaker 10 (12:57):
When I was a kid growing up in Boston, Hagler
was the midweight champion of the world, and I used
to see They used to have video him running. They
played it on the news. He was running on the
There was the dunes, sand dunes and Cape Cod and
the winter freezing cold with a hoodie on, running screaming war.

Speaker 11 (13:14):
It was amazing. Marvin Haler made you want to just
get out of your house and go running in the snow,
on the snow.

Speaker 9 (13:25):
Yeah, you know Rogan Rogan loves Hagler because he knows
great greatness, he sees it, you know.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yeah, and he was The.

Speaker 9 (13:32):
Thing about Marvin again, was you know, to me, he
embodies the spirit of where I grew up, you know, Brockton.
It's resilience, its overcoming adversity. He wasn't an insider in
the boxing game. He wasn't with Dawn king of He
was an outsider and so were his trained as the
local trainers, the pews, and they fought against that very
corrupt machine. And there's there's some great stuff in the book.

(13:52):
I could talk about it all day, but suffice to say,
Ted Kennedy and Tip O'Neil had to step in to
help Marvin while his title shot.

Speaker 7 (13:59):
That's how corrupt it was, and the most ripped person
I've ever seen in my life. And that's before all
the crazy stuff that people are.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
You know, this is going to be another great movie,
I think.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
So, you know.

Speaker 9 (14:10):
And Sam Rockwell optioned the rights to it, as you said,
and I've been working with him, and we've actually brought
on Rosie Perez as it was amazing, and I'm doing
an event with Rosie in New York on July sixteenth
at a great bookstore in Brooklyn called Powerhouse Arena. There
you go, and Sam wants to play Goodie Petronelli and
hit me great at it because Goody was such a
quirky you know, wearing headbands and yeah, stressed up in the.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Seventies, garb, you know.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
And before we say goodbye, you're going to be doing
the book your podcast.

Speaker 12 (14:40):
Lease.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, so Dave will be on our podcast this weekend.

Speaker 6 (14:44):
So happy you guys have me in.

Speaker 6 (14:59):
By way? Never mind forget.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
From the planet fitness Kiss one O eight studios.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
We're back with Billy and Lisa.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
In the morning. Kiss.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
So let me ask you a question. Do you not
like your name? Everything about changing your name?

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Hmm?

Speaker 4 (15:16):
Anyway, it is justin welcome back to the Billy and
Lisa Show. And yeah, that's what celebrities do. Why can't you.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
I found a list of celebrities who have different real names,
and some of the people on the list will shock
you what their real names are. So we're going to
start with Peter Peter Jean Hernandez. Can you guys guess
who this is? Peter Jean Hernandez, this singer.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
You said it earlier, right, I've known Karen.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
I'll tell you who it is. It's Bruno Mars, and
I'm going to give you a little context. Okay, Bruno Mars,
his real name.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Is Peter.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Is that true?

Speaker 6 (15:53):
It is?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
It is true.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
He picked you know, because he was a big fat
wrestler and he was a chubby baby. So that's why
he picked Bruno, and then he picked Mars because a
lot of girls kept saying to him he was out
of this world.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Wow, you know what, that's what he liked. You know,
that's Peter.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's crazy, I know, isn't that?

Speaker 3 (16:16):
He does not look like a Peter, not at all. Right,
He's a Bruno.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
And his real last name is Hernandez. Yeah yeah, wow, Okay.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
I heard he doesn't do interviews much because of his
his heights and he's very tiny's unconscious of it? Oh yeah,
an amazing talents for it in talent all right.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Another one that you're going to be shocked with Megan Markle.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Her real name is Rachel.

Speaker 12 (16:39):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I did know that?

Speaker 6 (16:41):
What's wrong with Rachel?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Rachel? Megan Markle? She goes by her middle name.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
She goes by her middle name.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Don't people do that because someone took their name already?
In like the.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Sag could be there's no reason why.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
The Actors Guild, we had Bobby Kelly in and he
told us that off the air he's a comedian.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
He was on last Friday.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
He goes by Robert Kelly, and that's because when he
got into SAG, there was already a Bobby Kelly, So
now he goes by Robert Kelly.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
So that could be right.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
So the same thing happened to Emma Stone and recently,
I think it was last week, she came out and
said that her real name is Emily and the reason
why she changed it to Emma because it was already
taken by SAG. That did happen to her.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
It might not pay you.

Speaker 6 (17:24):
But the Megan Markle to Rachel is not like Bruno
to Peter. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
So you know Reese Witherspoon, you know her, you love her,
iconic actress. Her real name is Laura Jean Oh she is.

Speaker 12 (17:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
I thought that was kind of shocking. I never knew
that because I love her. Jamie Fox not his real name.
His real name is Eric Marlon Bishop Jamie Fox, Eric
Marlon Bishop Jamie was is Eric? Yep?

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Eric? Is there a story behind why Eric? U?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
There is? Actually, he explained the reason for the name change.
When he was getting started on the stand up circuit,
he noticed female comedians were so rare that they would
always score a slot. So I went to the list
and wrote down unisex names like Stacy, Tracy, and then Jamie.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh. That's why he did it, so.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
He could have been Tracy Fox exactly.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
It did work.

Speaker 5 (18:32):
What is Jamie Fox? I'm hanging with Billy Costa.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
All right?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Another one, Calvin Harris. We play a lot of his songs.
His real name is not Calvin Harris at all. It's
Adam Richard Wiles.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
Adam Wiles is now Calvin Harris. Is there a story there?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
But yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:49):
He says, my first single was more of a soul track,
and I thought Calvin Harris sounded a bit more racially ambiguous.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
He's not wrong.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
No, remember the last time he came to the jingle Ball.
I think our kiss conco at least with Billy. Here's
another story behind the scenes. Calvin Harris wasn't going to
talk to anybody. He heard I was here.

Speaker 7 (19:13):
He said, I want to do the interview with Billy Costa.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
Why would I lie?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
I mean the tape is.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
That you just hear Jamie Foxx.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, well it's it's it's it's Adam, right, Adam Calvin
Harrison's Adam.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
This one I couldn't believe either. Brad Pitt, his.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Name is William.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Is it like Williams?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
He's a Bill William Bradley Pitt And more people, he said,
more people thought he looked like a Brad than a Billy.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Yeah, that's simple, like a Brad. Okay, that's what I'm
going to spend the rest of my life.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's bradd name it is. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Yeah, but he's a Bill, And I think a lot
of parents do that. They might they might give the kid,
you know, a middle name that they could go by.
I know, for us, my son is named Abel after
the Weekend. We thought, you know, we love the name.
He might not. So his middle name is Jay, so
he could go by AJ, but he doesn't. He goes
by Abel.

Speaker 13 (20:07):
Ah.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah, but AJ is an option, totally same thing as right. Oh,
you put a lot of thought into it, we did.

Speaker 6 (20:13):
Yeah, yeah, Aj, what's up?

Speaker 3 (20:15):
You want one more?

Speaker 6 (20:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
All right?

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Alicia Keys Alicia is her first name. Her last name
is Cook.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
What was wrong with Alisha Cook?

Speaker 3 (20:24):
She said that she liked piano Keys, of course changed
her last name to Keys.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
What a Boston is Benson Boone And you're waking up
with Billy and Lisa.

Speaker 10 (20:33):
In the morning on Kiss one Await Boston's number one
hit music stations.

Speaker 4 (20:37):
Hey Lisa, good morning everybody, and welcome back to the show.
So I want to ask you this question. How often
do you change your sheets? Everyone seems to have a
different opinion on this. I'm a once a week type
of guy. Some people wait longer, some do multiple times
a week. But what is right?

Speaker 12 (20:53):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (20:53):
This Alsborough we wash her sheets once a week.

Speaker 13 (20:58):
I think that's normal.

Speaker 9 (21:00):
But now I'm going to be concerned that that's not
the norm.

Speaker 13 (21:04):
And we're just sturdy people excited to see what other
people have to say.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Okay, Lisa, I don't know what's right and what's wrong.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
We shoot for once a week at our house.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
Okay, that's like the standard, but there are so many
different reasons why that might not be, especially if you
sleep with your pet. So okay, so if you sleep
with your pet, you should probably be watching them like
every two to three days, that's what they're saying. If
you eat in bed like Tyra Banks does same thing,
like every two days wash your sheets. This is like

(21:36):
annoying if you sweat a lot in night, same big
like every two to three days.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
Okay, we're not crumb gulls lurs button, but you are
sweating in bed, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
A condition.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
And you sleep with your dog. Good point, he's a
good boy. So how often are you? Once a week?

Speaker 6 (21:53):
We shoot for once a week?

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, yeah, okay, you know what the thing is with
me though, it's the duvet cover.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
Yes, well, does that include the duvet cover?

Speaker 3 (22:03):
No, they're saying like once every two weeks. I don't
I would. I would never do that. That's just like
way too much work.

Speaker 7 (22:08):
No, right, yeah, dovey that that's like once a month
or I think.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Yeah, I'm like, I'm like once every two weeks. But sheets, Yeah,
you know I used to be when I lived alone.
This was an issue with my wife when we started dating.
I never was oh.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Man, how long did you go?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Okay did? They didn't smell.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
I like the smell of myself, you know most people do. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
Now, I love clean sheets. Now you know, she got
on me about it. But yeah, I think single guys.
These are for all the single guys out there. I
feel like a lot of us don't at all.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
I kind of agree with you.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
I will say this, nothing is better than getting into
a freshly made bed.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
It's literally the best.

Speaker 11 (22:56):
So we do our sheets once a week, typically on Sundays,
Saturdays or Sundays, and then we like to call it
CSD Clean Sheet Day.

Speaker 5 (23:05):
Good Man. Who doesn't like that fresh feeling?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (23:09):
Yeah, the fresh feeling is really unbeatable.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
It's like it's just a lot of work.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
We have a king sized bed.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, so taking the sheets off these.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Is, you know, washing everything putting them back on.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
It's much harder to put them back on than it
is to take them off.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
It's such a pain. And I'm weird. I don't like
the sheets coming off at all. So if they're not
talked properly and I'm sleeping and the sheets come off,
it drives me insane.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Oh, I have to be all talked like everything that. Yeah,
talk sheet fully. I want to get in everything's tucked in.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
You're obsessed.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Didn't you like back in the day, remake all the
all the beds in the house when you would get.

Speaker 7 (23:47):
Home every single day. The minute I got home, I
went upstairs and made all their bits.

Speaker 4 (23:53):
Oh yeah, you remake beds, and I remake that. When
your wife makes the bed, you remake it. Yes, there's
another funny thing to do. My wife, Michelle doesn't like
her side tucked, so when I make the bed now
I have to leave her side, you know, nice and
even no wrinkles, but nothing tucked. Why doesn't she like
a tough She just doesn't like her sheets tucked.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
All right.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
She feels like she's being held prisoner.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
I could see that.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
I don't like to tuck either. Every hotel I go in,
I untuck.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, I'm an un tucker.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Well you know and you.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah again, it's like the weighted blanket snara.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah, there's no going to talk.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
I just want to make one more point winning.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
I'm going to say this with the absolute most respect.

Speaker 6 (24:40):
You don't strike me as a once a weeker.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, I'm like a couple of times a week.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh I don't believe that. No, I try to believe.
It's a couple you've given house tours.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
It's a couple of times a week, every couple of days.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
I don't know, it's just like a new thing.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
Trust me, you don't make you a couple of times
she doesn't.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
She doesn't make her.

Speaker 8 (24:58):
I'm not lying when I I changed my sheets everything.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
Okay, you swear on my light.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
Let's go to Christina and Lowell online one.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
All right, Christina, we're going alone.

Speaker 6 (25:16):
What he is like doing hand signals?

Speaker 7 (25:17):
And I get it when he a lot of action
in the Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (25:23):
Onn What have they got?

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I guess I'm crazy because I change my sheets once
a week, including the usay cover. I take that off
and wash it once a week. And we're not We
don't eat in the bed, and the dog is not
allowed in the bed. No.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
No, yeah, you don't strike me as a sweater.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
No.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
So I guess it's.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Just your bed is where you lay your head at night,
so you just want it to be clean.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
Oh maybe I'm crazy.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
It takes a lot of time.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Yeah, yes it is.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
It's worth it, that's your thing.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
I think it might not be once a week at
our house.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
You mean like once every two.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Now I'm gonna start feeling guilty.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
Well, the good thing about you is you have how
many dubets do you have? You just switch them out.
You don't need to like wait for one to be washed.

Speaker 5 (26:14):
You know what I mean? I mean, how many debates
do you have?

Speaker 7 (26:16):
I have great betting. Just got back from my run.
I got ninety nine duvsion.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
You got one. My name is Chicky BC. No one
around here better mess with me. If possily around don't.

Speaker 7 (26:28):
Make a sound, you step to me, I'll put you
under the ground. Have great betting. Just got back from
my run. I got ninety nine.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Duvets and you got one?

Speaker 1 (26:37):
What what I got?

Speaker 6 (26:39):
N nine duvets? You got one.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
I don't know why that excepts you just swap it
outis every morning?

Speaker 12 (26:49):
Kiss?

Speaker 5 (26:49):
When I wait?

Speaker 6 (26:50):
Big question this morning?

Speaker 7 (26:51):
Big buzz? How often do you change your sheets? Everybody's
got a different plan.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
I guess.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Oh wow, I feel like a hobo right now because
I sleep with two guts, and I set sometimes at
night like most females.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
And I washed my bedding once a month.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Oh my god, I feel like it's come back you AnyWho.
I guess I'm gonna have to make more trips to
the laundromat.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
I feel you.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, you're supposed to.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
If you eat in the bat or have pets in
the batter, you're like an excessive sweater.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
It's like every three to four days. You should be
washing your sheets.

Speaker 6 (27:25):
I haven't heard the word hobo in at.

Speaker 11 (27:30):
Justin.

Speaker 12 (27:31):
If you like tuck sheets, how did you go months
without washing your sheets? They have to have been all
like warm and like just uncomfortable. When you wash sheets,
they're all fresh and crisp and clean and tight.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
The tightness is there. I just don't get it. It's
like I don't know an old sock.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Well, I don't like them tucked? Yeah, yeah, I don't.
So how do you the bed?

Speaker 5 (27:54):
What's that?

Speaker 6 (27:54):
How do you make your bed?

Speaker 5 (27:56):
I don't tuck the sheets in.

Speaker 6 (28:00):
With a side.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah no, no, no, I tucked the sheets in, but I
don't tuck the over. I don't lay under a touch sheet.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Right, I don't either, do you really?

Speaker 6 (28:09):
So you don't have a top sheet.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
I don't have a top sheet.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Do you have a top sheet at the hotel?

Speaker 5 (28:16):
I ripped that off?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
So you have like so you have a duvet over
you and that's it?

Speaker 5 (28:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Oh no, no, no, no, that creeps me out.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Oh then you need to be washing your duvet like.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
That's your top sheet.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Every two weeks.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh yeah, no, I am a top sheet girl.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
You need to change that in your life. A top
sheet at least. I don't care how often you're washing out.
You need to talk.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Your wife agrees with this.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
If I could never marry no top sheet guy, that
would creep me out.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
And you don't to attack me.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Sorry.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
So now I'm a hobo.

Speaker 14 (28:50):
I am a single male, and I am like justin.
Changing the sheets is my least favorite activity, and so
I don't change them regularly. However, I supplement because I
shower every single night.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Before because of a landscapers who were dirty.

Speaker 14 (29:11):
So I shower and I shower, So I think that
equals out.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Am I right?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
No, we talked about this memory, Lisa. You had that
story a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
That shame before bed means nothing for cleanliness because of
sweating and particles.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
No, I don't you shed skin it?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
You do?

Speaker 6 (29:30):
You sd skin off your face at night?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh my god.

Speaker 8 (29:33):
I hope he's not dating around.

Speaker 5 (29:36):
All over the bed.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
I mean when you when you're single, it's like you
know you by yourself, you sleep by yourself. I feel that,
I really do. I probably went months without changing my sheets.
I'm not proud of it.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
Well, I think you were very fond of.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yourself and your stench.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
I like the way I Smell's a weird thing about people.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
People love the way they smell.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
They do you know right right?

Speaker 6 (30:01):
I mean we do some disgusting things when we're alone.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
And then I said, oh yeah, let's not take it there.
And then I started dating my wife and she was like,
you know, after a week or two, like, hey, oh,
you going to wash these sheets?

Speaker 5 (30:14):
That's what happened a lad.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
She finally said something, Yeah, I read that we're supposed
to be vacuuming our mattresses weekly.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
In my life, I've never vacuumed a mattress. How often
are you guys vacuuming your mattresses?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Well, I have a mattress protector, like a pad, a
pad me too, Yeah, never vacuumed my mattress. I have.

Speaker 8 (30:35):
I put baking you know, pat soda, you know this
like on top, and then vacuum it off, maybe like
I would say, once every like four or five months,
not off a couple of times a year.

Speaker 7 (30:45):
I'm going to start doing that. Vacuum the mattress or
the mattress pad. Yeah, because that's where all your skin shedding.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Are you washing? The mattress pad though too.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Yeah, wash that very occasionally.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, I don't do that all the time, maybe like
once a month.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Okay, Whennie, I'm not calling you a liar. I swear
my house tours on your Instagram.

Speaker 6 (31:05):
The house was my house was dirty.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
House is never dirty. My house has lived in.

Speaker 8 (31:10):
And secondly, secondly, just because you don't make your bed
doesn't mean you have nasty sheets.

Speaker 12 (31:14):
I don't.

Speaker 8 (31:15):
Might not make my bed at four in the morning,
like a psychopath who's I'm barely getting I have.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
To interject here. I make my bed every morning.

Speaker 8 (31:25):
Well, but my sheets are clean and I change them
every couple of days.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
I believe you.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, okay, don't you were taking me home that night?

Speaker 7 (31:35):
Yeah, I could not get in the bed if it
wasn't made.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
I make it, but I'll make it sometimes before bed.
I just don't make it at four in the morning.
I'm just sorry.

Speaker 8 (31:45):
I'm not doing that. You don't make it either in
the morning, Yeah you don't.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
This is a fun.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
At my hygiene.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Okay, I might make my bed, but I'm clean.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
The other high grong with you this time.

Speaker 15 (32:10):
So I feel crazy after hearing you guys talk about
this because We have three bedrooms in our house. One
bedroom nobody sleeps in at night, but our dogs do
go in that bed during the day when we're at work.
I change all bed sheets and comforters at least twice
a week, wash everything. Then our couch I put blankets
on during the day when we're at work, and I

(32:33):
wash all those blankets at least four times a week.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
And I am diagnosed with oo city. So yes, there's that.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Sounds like a Stepford wife. It's a lot of washing. Yeah,
it's a process to change the sheets.

Speaker 6 (32:46):
She's even washing the bed that's not slept in.

Speaker 5 (32:48):
Yeah, well, I like clean.

Speaker 6 (32:50):
What do you want justin?

Speaker 13 (32:51):
I'm one hundred percent with you. I never use a
top sheet. It just gets all tangled up and wrapped
around you. What's the point. I have never used as
hop sheet, just the comforter and the fitted sheet.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Yeah, that's so weird.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
Yeah, I gotta have a top I try it out.

Speaker 8 (33:09):
I need that little protector between me and the duvet.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Wow, so you sleep with a sheet and.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Then I've been caught in blanket and then the dow that's.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
Crazy, get hot.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
I don't bring the blanket until the fall.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Well, it's cot and I don't know. Sometimes I'll just
like throw the duvet off and just have the blanket.

Speaker 7 (33:28):
No.

Speaker 8 (33:28):
I I like my room cold to sleep like especially
you know, I'm central, I see, so I just crank
it during the summer and I'm actually cold sometimes that
I need two sheets.

Speaker 6 (33:38):
I remember when I had a I remember that too.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
