Speaker 4 (00:15):
Welcome in everybody to building and Lisa Morning Show. It
is the morning after Lisa's book club last night with
the Mel Robbins.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
That was kind of the mood of the night.
Speaker 5 (00:24):
Do a Lipa's song, right, That's what she came out
to and we got started.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It was quite the night.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
When I pulled up to the TV Garden, I couldn't
believe it.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
I thought it was at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
I mean, people were lined up around the TD Garden
down Causeway Street, all of them screaming and yelling and
having a ball and also freezing out.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
In the cold, and they didn't care that we're going
to see you and Mel.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's so true.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
And then when Mel walked through the crowd up to
the stage, I felt like I was experiencing like a
Taylor Swift moment, Like her power and her influence on
people and her passion to help people is so evident
with what we saw last night.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, I mean it was more than standing room only.
And if that wasn't enough, people it wasn't enough to
be standing.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
They had to be leaning over the railings.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
To get as close as they could to the stage
to hear the messages. And there were so many messages
from Mel last night.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Yeah, we we covered a lot of ground. Her book
is the Let Them Theory. If you haven't, I haven't
heard of it yet, it's everywhere. Yeah, and she she
just gave us such great little, you know, bits of
information and advice. And yeah, people came, they were dressed
and let them t shirts like it was crazy.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And also I couldn't help.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
When I walked in, there was like what looked to
be a brick wall, and it turns out it was books,
Mel's books, and she was signing them rapidly.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I signed fifteen hundred books in about an hour.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
She's like a machine.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I was watching the video on the Kiss Instagram. By
the way, you can go to the Kiss Instagram as
all the videos and pictures she was signing her full name. Yeah,
fifteen hundred of.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Them and then just pulling it up, dropping it off,
pulling it up, dropping it off, sign scigence.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I've never seen.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Anything like so just watching her and her team just
such a professional group it was inspiring.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Now she had so many messages and by the way,
we're going to unpack as much as we can in
a few minutes in the Entertainment Report. But sitting there listening,
I heard about and learned about something that I didn't
even know existed. And maybe I'm the only one in
the room not aware of it, but apparently very porn
(02:42):
is very big right now.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Well, at the end of the interview, I always like
to ask authors at my at least's book club, like
what they're reading, just to get a lot of, you know,
good advice, and maybe that's a book that I could
recommend for the book club.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
So I asked mel, like, what's going on? What does
she do?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
She's like kind of, you know, taking time away, and
she said that she reads. She's reading a Quart of
Thorns and Roses. And then I had a conversation this
morning with producer Riley about the book. And it seems
that producer Riley read the series.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
Well.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
I brought it up to you off the air and
Riley jumped out of our chairs. She said, oh, I've
read the whole series and I'm like, what, Well.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, because it's what is it about?
Speaker 7 (03:27):
Riley well, it's so it's fantasy and it's set in
a world where these people are the fay aka fairies, meaning.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
They don't have wings, but they have like pointed ears
and long.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Teeth, so they're not furries. They're fairies.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Yeah, fairies.
Speaker 9 (03:45):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Are they having sex?
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yes, they in fact are.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's so very much it's fairy porn.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
So so our main character, she's she's like seventeen and
on her age and all main male character is about
three h hundred years old.
Speaker 10 (04:02):
That's okay, we're looking at pedophilia, yact.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
It's a monster hit and it involves a bowl of soup.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Strangely, what's the hell?
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Okay, I don't want to spoil that. That actually comes
in in like the third.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Or fourth book.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I forget how many are there.
Speaker 8 (04:17):
I think it's not actually finished. The series, So the
original series I think is four, but there's like spin
off series like a son character going on.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
With Harry Potter for Freaks. No, that would have been
my guest.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Anyway, We're gonna play a lot of what happened last
night at Lisa's book club, but we need to mention
least that the podcast from last night is up.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
It is just go to Lisa's book Club podcast wherever
you get your podcast, but you can check it out
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, it's up. Our whole conversation from last night with
Mel Robbins.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I will say it was a lot of fun. It's
always fun when the entire show goes out together. You know,
I was there, Justin was when he was there, and
obviously at Leasta, you were the star of the show.
And by the way, we were all so proud and
it was so cool to be sitting in a banquette
with your mom who flew in from South Carolina, and
your two boys and to look at them just beaming
(05:16):
with pride that you were up there on stage.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Well, thanks you guys for all being there. I have
to say that last night was so unique in that
we were all gathered, like fourteen hundred of us because
we're reading, and we're reading together and we're making reading
fun and it was like it was an amazing experience.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
We had a DJ, like.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
We were like drinking wine from ninety plus sellars.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah was it Rico Suave Josh, It was DJ Rico. Yeah,
he works on Rumba Oh Latin station.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Malk just kept saying like, this is so cool, this
is so cool, and it is and the fact that
everyone came out and we're doing something really good and
we're you know, raising money for raising a reader.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
It's just it was just such a field good night.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
And it was electric. Your intro to the whole thing
was fabulous. And then to have the music just suddenly
explode and the video screens explode and Mel's walking down
the hall like it was amazing, incredible.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes, I thought she was going to come out on
the stage and then I'm looking around and then she
came in from the back.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
It was it was it was incredible.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
It was crazy, and everybody in there, all fourteen hundred
people were just focused on you and Mel.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, I was it was crazy. You know, people are
reading and drinking. What's better than that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, we're going to offer all the highlights from last
night coming up and entertainment in a couple of minutes. Also,
it's a big morning. Oscar nominations are coming out this morning.
We're going to unpack those as soon as we get them.
And there's a weird story this morning that is suggesting
that the winners of the upcoming Grammy.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Awards have been leaked.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
That would be a big story and if it's true,
there's a very obvious shunning, a major league snub. If
in fact these winners have been leaked and it's real anyway,
that and so much more coming up than the Entertainment Report.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
Good morning, morning crew.
Speaker 11 (07:12):
We're just leaving Lisa's book Club with Mel Robbins. We
had the best time and we just have one question, Lisa,

It's the morning after the Big Lisa's book Club last
night at Big Night Live.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Justin.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I have to imagine you're getting a lot of talkbacks
from last night.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I love the people were checking in while at the
event on the top earlier this morning of people leaving
club a Big Night Live last night and leaving top backs.
We appreciate that. Remember you can always check in with
the show or code a message right into your phone.

iHeart app. Just tap that red microphone and boom, you're in.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Good morning, Morning crew. I was live streaming Lisa's book
Club and I just have to know where she got
her pants. She looked amazing. Great job, Lisa happy.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Yeah, awesome. There's Cynthia Raleigh. Oh yep, Cynthia Raleigh. Yep,
I got them online.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah they look great. Is a local designer?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Nope, No, she's pretty international.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
You can get her a TJ in Marshall's. That's where
I get her. Really, Lisa goes online.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I find it everywhere. You came out to Sabrina Carpenter, Yeah,
you should have come on to this.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Now the Entertainment Update with a Billy Constad. The funny
thing was is Mel had party pants on ship. We did,
but like, wow, this is so cool.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh man.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
We got to start with Lisa's book club last night.
Everybody was showing up early. They were lined up outside
the garden. They were actually lined up all over the garden,
around the building down Causroyd Street. You and Mel, Lisa
were amazing. It was great. The whole Morning show was there,
so I got to ask, what were your favorite moments
from the.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Night on every single moment.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I loved being backstage and getting to chat with her
before we hit the stage.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
That from you was amazing.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Also just getting to know like her crew and her
assistant Lynn Richardson. I have to give her a shout out.
She really was instrumental and putting this together. So I
want to be a big thank you to her. And
then obviously all of the people that came last night,
all of our listeners, all of Mel's you know, followers.
It was just such a feel good crowd and they
(09:58):
just made us feel so loved.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
And what were your favorite parts of Mel herself?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well, she's just such a great story teller.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
And the thing about Mel is and it's in the book,
she just shares these these moments that we can all
relate to. There were so many moments that I've had
the same thing happened, So it just it really resonates.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You have one ready to go justin Yeah, I met
a lot of different things. She talked about relationships, She
talked about her husband, her marriage, her kids. I connected
with the marriage stuff a lot, but you know, she
was there because of the book Let them right.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
So she discussed the let them theory, and she actually
told us where it came from.
Speaker 12 (10:37):
My daughter reached out and grabbed me. This was probably
a trauma response from the Natick Salon.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Like throw down that happened, and she's like, Mom, you're
beer knowing and I'm like, but they don't even button.
She's like and I'm like, but but it's raining, it's
gonna rut.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Let them. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
So that was her daughter, Kendall, and that's where it
started because mel was trying to control this whole promt
situation that was going out of control, and that's where
it starts. It's like, let them, let people be who
they're going to be. And then the other part of it,
which she mentioned was part of the process of let them,
is that knowing realizing that you can't control everything.
Speaker 12 (11:17):
Not every text needs a response, not every meeting needs
your opinion. The more you realize, wait a minute, like
I actually do get to say what gets my time
and energy, and then something really cool happens, you realize
whoa The let me part is the best part because
this is where I take control of everything. This is
where I take responsibility and let you know. As you
(11:38):
guys have heard me say responsibility is just the ability,
and I think oftentimes we think it's our job to respond,
to take care of, to make people happy, to make
sure people aren't disappointed. And when you realize, wait a minute,
I get to choose when I want to do those things.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
A whole lot of power.
Speaker 12 (11:59):
Starts to show up your life. And this is the
part that's also annoying. You realize that your controlling nature
has been stifling your kids and your partner because they
don't actually have the space to be able to find
their power and to be able to face their struggles
with you by their side, rather than you micromanaging every
(12:20):
step of the way.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
And I'm talking to myself. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
They see you're sitting there nodding, and I can't help
but remembering last night as I looked around the room,
everybody in the room was not only listening, but they
were kind of nodding for the entire conversation.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, you know, it was amazing listening to her. And
one of the most impactful things that was told to me,
especially you know, I was trying to at at a
crossroads in my life, is that you know, you'll they said,
justin You'll never be able to control other people. The
only thing you can control is how you react to them.
And when she was talking, I was like, Wow, this
is exactly what was told to me. And you're right.
(12:54):
Everyone in there, everyone in there was like staring at
what she was saying. Yeah, it's an amazing speaker. And
didn't you ask her what she does to relax?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yeah, So at the end of the conversation, I just
wanted to know because she, I mean, she's always working.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I asked her, what do you do to recharge your battery?
Speaker 12 (13:11):
I really am a homebody like I love to hike,
I love to fish. I love to be outside with
her dogs. You know, I like a gummy. It's legal
here in Massachusetts and Vermont.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
I never would have thought that I love Why, Oh
my god.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I you know, I my.
Speaker 12 (13:33):
Husband doesn't drink all that much and it's not that
fun to drink alone.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
But you know, I'm usual to have a cocktail.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Wow, gummies. She lives in Vermont, right, Yep, She's a
fascinating lady. What a great event.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
It's funny, she said edibles. I feel like the amount
of energy that she has. Edibles are perfect to bring her.
I gotta start trying those.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I've been telling you both winn he gave them to
me for Chris.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
I did oh, I was like crack.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Of open, Lisa did whin he give you to put
you down or put at night? We should mention the
podcast is up right from last.

brand new fire that sparked out there on the West coast. Lisa,
there's a weird story this morning about the Grammy Awards.
The winners have been leaked.

Well, we don't know about this, but they're saying that
it could be Billie Eilish or Beyonce for Album of
the Year.

Okay, Billy's album is so good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I haven't listened to all beyond this. She has some
good songs in there though too. Oh yeah.

It's also saying that maybe that Taylor Swift may miss

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Oh, you mean the tour.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
No No, and then the concert film, The Eras Tour
has already been snubbed in the Best Film Music Film category.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh wow, I know.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
It's the highest grossing concert film of all time.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Wow. Yeah, she should probably win that one.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I don't know what's weirder that the winners were leaked
or the Taylor's tours snubbed.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It's not possible to snub that tour. I like when
Bill talks Grammy's talk about justin your guy.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Post Malone has a partnership this morning with Oreos.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
What's stable. They're going to be at my house, that's
for sure. My wife's a huge Post Malone fan. But yeah,
he teamed up with Oreo. They have all these kind
of new designs. It's kind of a different kind of
flavor to like beer guys everywhere. Some of them are
having like record label records as a design. Yeah, they're
just really cool. They're coming out to the beginning of February.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
So it's got a lot of products between the liquor
and now the Oreos and so many different lines and products. Anyway,
we'll keep an eye on that. A reminder, Timothy Shallame

on Saturday Night Live. This weekend meantime, Colin Joe's from
Saturday Night Live, of course, married to Scarlett Johansson.

She's co hosting.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
The third hour of The Today Show all this week,
and Colin surprised Duran brought flowers.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I feel like I had to bring flowers on because yesterday,
out of the gate, she was like, he never writes
me a love letter. He just sends me like sexual emojis.
Speaker 13 (17:21):
I was like, what you.
Speaker 10 (17:24):
Should I didn't say, I didn't use that word.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You interpreted it that.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh my god, it's so funny. I like them as
a couple. They seem pretty cool. They do, Yeah, they
must send a lot of eggplant and peach emotions.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
The show Severan's one of the hottest shows in America
right now. Justin there was a big reveal this week.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Well, the first episode of the second season came out
last week and there's one scene where a video plays
and a voice kind of narrates it. I watched it,
I didn't think it sounded like anybody famous. Turns out
the voice was Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 14 (17:56):
You probably don't recognize me from this single I'm the
lumin Administrative Building Branch five oh one, and you're sitting
in me right now. The name's a mouthful more as
I say, a door for so you can just call
me glummen.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, I had no idea it was correct. Nobody I can. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Do you think it's like a voice modifier? You think
they modified his voice?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I mean it doesn't sound like Keanu. I mean, now
that I know it's him, maybe, But if that was
the first episode, the second episode comes out tomorrow. Can't wait?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Can I just say something about seven's because I'm an
I'm an episode six of season one.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I still don't know what's going on. I don't know
what's going on.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I'm afraid to watch it. It seems so complicated, confused. Yeah,
we'll keep watching. She's watched went.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
For six, I know, and I still do know what's
going on.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I mean I watched the whole first season. I kind
of still don't know.
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Wait, how many episodes are there for nine on the
first season? Okay, she's two thirds in. She has no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
What I'm trying to encourage her to keep watching.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Stop watching, let him let justin watch and let.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Me watch exactly.
Speaker 15 (19:08):
Let me.
Speaker 16 (19:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
The NFL's Final four this weekend, Commanders and Eagles at
three o'clock on Sunday. Bills in the Chief six thirty
Sunday Night, Patrick Mahomes talking about his famous fake flops
right here.
Speaker 15 (19:20):
I mean, I would say that the only one I
felt like I probably did too much was the one
on the sideline where I didn't get a flag and
the ref solid and didn't didn't throw a flag, and
I understood immediately and know that I probably shouldn't have
done that. But at the same time, the one everybody's
talking about where I fell down, it's like, Uh, I
would just try to get out of the way of
getting smoked by the defensive lineman running. So I'll try
(19:42):
to keep doing that and not take those hits because
that's the smart way to stay in the football game.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I want to know if he's really influencing the refs,
That's all I want to know. Is he having conversations
with the refs.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I don't think. I don't think it's him necessarily.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Well, there was a story it is him, so who knows. Uh.
Pats have officially hired Terrell Williams. That's a done deal.
Bruins lost last night. Five one Celts have the Lakers tonight,
and we're brought.
Speaker 10 (20:10):
To wait, I'm sorry, we're not in the story.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Oh my god, I had it right there.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I looked at the clock and I said, I have
to skip something.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's going to have to be end sync. Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Okay, So the guys really not a great story, Yeah,
it really isn't, but good enough. Okay, here it is.
The guys from men Sinc. Got together kind of. Joey
Fatone wasn't there. He's got a Broadway show going on.
But Justin had a show out there in Los Angeles
or on the West Coast, and all the other guys
from men Sinc.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Were in the audience, and.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Justin mentioned it on stage.
Speaker 17 (20:45):
They were smarter and left Joey at home.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I wouldn't have killed them to bring them upstage and
do something.

to be opened up.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Yeah, I'm telling you, dude, you mentioned yesterday that the
pipe is under the floor.

The book club rolls on.
Speaker 17 (26:46):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I don't know what's going on. I tune in.
Speaker 17 (26:49):
It's fairy porn, fairy dust, book clubs, crazy stuff. I
got an idea, Billy, why don't you come over to
my place and I'll give you some fairy dust with that?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
All right, interesting topic coming out next? Do you have
a favorite child? Paul Honesty? Coming up?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
I love Billy and Lisa kiss.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
So every morning on the Billy and Lisa Show right
about this time, every single morning we generate a topic
and Lisa, you're sitting on one right now.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
This is a fascinating topic.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
So there is a new meta analysis of thirty previous
studies and it has twenty thousand participants. This is a
big study out of Brigham Young University School of Family Life,
and it focuses on whether parents have a favorite child.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And the research room feels that kind of you do
a little bit, you.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Do, really, yeah, but can you be honest about it? Well,
that's the question.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
I don't recommend being honest about it. Well, you're not
going to have a good oudeome.
Speaker 5 (27:48):
The study says that moms and dads tend to favor
daughters slightly more than sons.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
I don't have that. Ask my brother. Oh, he's definitely
the favorite, really from both parents.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
I well, I mean he's the oldest, he's the only boy.
We call him the prince growing up because he's the
only boy.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He was the oldest, you know.
Speaker 10 (28:09):
I And then my little sister, youngest girl. So I
feel like those two, those two opposites.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
You could have been part of the experiment. I'm the middle,
I'm middle, so.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
They The study also points out that most parents connect
more easily with one child over another, but that doesn't
necessarily mean that they've picked a favorite. But they say
that sometimes parents get so concerned about treating their kids
the same that they may overlook individual needs of the kids.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
That's interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Well, I've got three boys, and I definitely do not
have a favorite. Okay, sure, yeah, so they could have
asked me.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
But they all drive They all drive you the same
amount of insane.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Uh, they all have driven the same amount of insaying
over the years. It kind of kind of goes in
and out. One does it, then the other does it,
then the other does it. But yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
I don't to mind knowledge. I don't think I have
a favorite. Maybe that's not Dylan Dylan friend. I mean
it could be. Oh, he's the baby, He'll always be
(29:14):
the baby, always be my younger.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, I don't know. They're all uniquely awesome.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Right exactly for my two boys, like, I love each
one individually for who they are, which is very different.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
No, I don't. I love them both equally absolutely.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Justin have you developed a favorite yet?
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You have a boy and a girl, Now, that's like, Lisa, honestly,
you know, my son drives me crazy, but he's the boy,
he's the older one, and then my daughter is just
an angel. So you know I have pends on the day, right, right.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
That's what's gonna. I was gonna say, it.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Depends on maybe like the month, right or the day,
like right, the right. Now you know that we have
an older one and a younger one, right, and then
you know they kind of challenge you, and that can
be challenging as a parent.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Phases are terrifying. Yeah, my son is in the in
the political phase, meaning he's arguing, he argues back with
everything he will. We call him Donald Trump. That's what
we call him in the house really because he's everything
you say to him. He will argue and keep going
until he wants to win.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
It's like crazy, What's I have one like that too?
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, very very very strong willed. I will say, okay, yeah,
but I don't know it's crazy. On the way down
in the book club, I drove with producer Riley, and
funny enough, we had this conversation and she's like, I'm
my mom's favorite child. I'm a favorite. Oh self described
ye favorite child? As has her mom told.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Her that she's the fame.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 10 (30:48):
I think Okay, I'm not a parent, but as a child,
there's signs.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
As child when you.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Think she's the favorite. And I don't think I'm the favorite.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
I think I think my parents favor me in certain
areas or they're like, oh, she's.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Good for that.
Speaker 10 (31:07):
But like I think they like, as like Lisa said,
for our own individual reasons why they might lean towards one.
But it depends on the day or the year, or
who's going through what the phase, yes, the phase.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Yeah, I was just thinking in terms of my children.
But now when I think back, I was definitely my
mother's favorite, and my brother was definitely my father's favorite.
My father never spoke to me. Yeah, you said, I
never had a single conversation with my father, God reshes,
(31:39):
And I'm not even making that up, not a single
Like he didn't even come to my prep school interview.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
But your brother did. Your brother talked to your dad?
Speaker 7 (31:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yeah, certainly more than he talked to me.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Yeah, I wasn't saying much at all.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
I think in my family, I think my sister is
my mom's favorite, and I think that I'm my dad's favorite.
Speaker 10 (32:00):
At that sense, when I'm around the family, do you
feel like because maybe you connect more with them, like
you're more like like I me and my father, or
I am the girl version of him for good or
for bad?
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Like we everything I don't like about myself.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
I don't like about him, and everything I like about
myself I like about him, and I feel like we
connect on a level that's like sometimes a little I
get him too much where I'm like, Okay, you're annoying,
you know what I mean? So I think that's what
Maybe you and your dad connects in a different way
than you and your mom.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
Are you saying there are two of you walking.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Around my dad.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
My dad will want that about that, not with the sass, No, No,
this is gonna be one of these things.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Okay, we're coming up on topic time, and if a
lot of parents are sitting there listening now and thinking, wow,
I don't know do I have a favorite? Here's the
deal with topic time This time around. You can call
in anonymously, so your children are not going to know
that you're admitting that you have a favorite and the
other child is the dark horse.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
You can even change your voice if you want be
a voice actor. This is your shot six one one
one old way. Just in the talk back, how do
they get in? Yeah, you a little nervous. You don't
want to pick up the phone and talk to us live.
You can always record what you want to say via
the iHeartRadio app downloaded, Tap that red microphone and you'll
have thirty seconds to send your message in Topic Time
(33:22):
is next.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Now it's Topic Time with Billy and Lisa in the morning, and.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
The topic this morning is are you a favorite child?
Do you have children? And do you have a favorite child?
You don't have to be a parent saying you have
a favorite child. You can say I was a favorite
or I was the least favorite, like when he was.
So let's go to Genie and Brockton and find out. Jeanie,
good morning, and welcome to the Billy and Lisa Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
What have you got for us?
Speaker 13 (33:52):
Good morning guys. I have three kids and I love
them all equally, but I like them differently.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Ooh ooh that's pretty good. I like that.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
Explain Yeah, well, my oldest is probably somebody would have
dated in high school. He's just that kind of guy.
And then my daughter, my middle child's most loving, giving
person in the world. And then the little one is
just like me, so I tend to favor her, but
(34:23):
I love them all the same. And that song was perfect.
I would die for them all.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Oh wow, perfect. Well, we played it just for you.
I think we dedicated into a genie.
Speaker 10 (34:32):
Thank you Billy anytime.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Thank you for listening, Thank you for calling in. Let's
go to Rossandra in Gloucester. Good morning, Rosada. We don't
get many calls from Gloucester.
Speaker 9 (34:45):
Well, Hi, good morning Billy.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
How you doing huh good.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
I just want to tell you first of all that
I'm Italian and not Portuguese, because last time I called,
I thought I was Portuguese.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
You know what's funny. I almost jumped in right at
the top and said, are you Portuguese?
Speaker 9 (35:03):
But I just wanted to say that I don't have
a favorite child. I have three kids, but my mom
has a favorite and it's my middle brother. And she
will always tell me, oh, my favorite son brought me
flowers vocaliz.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Like your whole life, you knew that your mother's favorite
was Wow.
Speaker 19 (35:29):
How does that mean?
Speaker 15 (35:32):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (35:32):
I don't really care because I know I'm I'm the
problem child, so I'm always causing her issues and whatnot.
But he can do no wrong and he knows it too.
He'll be like, yeah, I'm the favorite.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Now does it affect your relationship with your favorite brother?
Speaker 9 (35:49):
No, not at all. I just tease him about it,
so we're very loving to each other. But I'll be like, yeah,
your mom's favorite, you know it?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Okay, alrighty okay, thank you for the call and say
hello to Gloss.
Speaker 9 (36:02):
Can I give a shout out to my three kids? Sure?
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Can?
Speaker 9 (36:06):
All right, I just want to give a shout out
to my three kids, Luca, Chiata, and Azale. I love
all of you equally.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Well you are in town. I like those names.
Speaker 10 (36:14):
Luca, Luca, that's pretty Luca.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
That's a strong name. Yeah. My friend named his son Luca,
and when he told me he did, he said, you know,
it's a strong name. It is a really strong name.
I like that name. Let's get a talk back in
I'm Bill's favorite since the beginning. You've always been my favorite.
Justin thank you.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Conversation of favorite child with my grandma. And there are
three children, me and my sister and my younger brother,
and my grandma said, oh, your brother is your mom's favorite,
and your sister is your dad's favorite, and you're just independent.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
She was trying to say it as nicely as she could.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
I guess yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
And then, like Lisa would say, you just put it
out there.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
So is that you Winnie, are you the independent one?
Speaker 10 (37:02):
Yes, I mean I just there was a solid decade
where I was the only problem.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Like I was the black sheep of the family.
Speaker 10 (37:09):
I have three siblings, are all pretty boring, and I
took the cake from like probably thirteen or fourteen to
like twenty four.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Captain Mike chiming in per usual, Winnie, if your parents
had to focus on your individual needs, they.
Speaker 9 (37:23):
Would have stopped the reproducing after they had you.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
You had a great time last night at the book club.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
Captain Mike's gonna make a special cameo with your next
one to it.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Okay, it's Mike.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
We're bringing the men in now.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I love that there were a couple of men besides
Bill and oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 20 (37:41):
I have two kids, one of each less than a
year apart, and each of my favorite for different reasons.
But my daughter is the answer to my mother's prayer,
and that prayer was, may you have one just like you.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Oh yea, so true, so true. I felt like anytime
my parents are around my kids and they are acting up,
they just look at me and smile. I feel, yeah,
especially you, justin.
Speaker 4 (38:08):
I used to get that a lot from my parents, though, Yeah,
you know, I can't wait to see your kids. You
with your kids, Okay, I don't think you'll be around
respects in peace.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
I mean, I mean, you lost your parents very early
in life, very early, shows that you needed to go
to therapy about that.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
That's the good news.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
They never got to witness it and say, hey, how
you doing now?
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Did they ever hear you on the radio?
Speaker 7 (38:30):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yeah, I think just right at the beginning.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
My god, so they've been gone along with my father.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Didn't he died in his forties?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Wow? Did they both die in their forties?
Speaker 9 (38:41):
No?
Speaker 4 (38:41):
My dad had forty eight, my mom at fifty two.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Who well, look at you still going strong?
Speaker 10 (38:46):
Case your test sawster and levels are off the chart.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Said the doctor. They sure are. Oh yeah, warning to everybody.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I truly thought it was my dad's favorite, because you
would like hug me and whish for in my year.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
You know you're my favorite.
Speaker 18 (39:05):
But then later in life we.
Speaker 15 (39:07):
All grew up.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
There's six of us.
Speaker 13 (39:09):
I found out you used to see.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
That all of us.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Definitely, I think that's very common. Parents can tell each
child secretly and see, you're my favorite.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Start doing that.
Speaker 4 (39:21):
I do it.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
Let's go Jane and Milford, online one.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Good morning, Jane and Milford.
Speaker 19 (39:28):
Good Milford, New Hampshire.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
I'll look at you up there in north country.
Speaker 19 (39:33):
Uh so no, and it's a bomby twelve degrees, not
minus nine like yesterday.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Yeah, we're warming up. So what's your story?
Speaker 19 (39:41):
Good morning. So my mother in law early on when
I met her, for some reason, felt it necessary to
say to me that I will have a favorite child.
And I just have to say, I have three beautiful children,
and they are equally special to me, and they make
(40:03):
the youngest.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Two is a son to having two daughters, it's my favorite.
Speaker 19 (40:07):
But absolutely I could never be that person to have
a favorite child.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Yeah, how could you verbalize it to one, you know,
in front of your children, or how do you let
your children know? Well, you know I do have a favorite. Yeah,
it doesn't seem right.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
