Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this morning show in Boston, Billie and Lisa in
the morning. It's just a great start to my day
on Kiss one away.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, guys, so welcome in. It is the Billy and
Lisa Morning Show and Lisa Dunovan going to be a
little bit warmer today.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I think it's going to be warmer because we're gonna
have less wind. That'll be you know, sunny, but thirties again.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And they're talking about fifty or maybe in the fifties
for Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, so we'll get back up into the fifties.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, fifty eight on Wow, go figure.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
My poor mother in law was in Florida for two weeks,
came back last night. That's a rude awakening.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh yeah, biting cool.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
She was posting pictures all up and down Florida at
the beach eighty degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
This from Donnie. Yeah, wow, ripping butts up and down
the beach in Florida, oh everywhere. But she's back, and wow.
You know, at least I don't know if you're ware
of this, but Justin is a really good source for
stuff that you wouldn't realize. Okay, you don't like I
have a key to my car, Okay, and apparently the
battery and the key is running low. The key fob. Yeah,
(01:07):
so okay, it's not even a fob, it's the key.
And then sometimes the car won't start and it gives
me a signal that the battery and the key is low. Yes,
I couldn't figure it out, okay, but I thought to myself,
wait a minute. Justin lives in New Hampshire. They know
stuff we don't know up there.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You mean changing the battery in your key, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hampshire things, I think we no. I knew that somehow
the key would come apart, like I knew there was
the secret key that comes out right, and I knew
somehow there was a battery in there. I just couldn't
get it open. I bring it into Justin. Within fifty
seconds he's got the thing open and it's all. That's great.
All I need to do is go get the new
(01:48):
battery now and are you holding my key in there
right now? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's all apart the key fob right now. What's going
to happen is I showed Billy Lisa I have it open.
He has to open the little compartment with a battery.
You got a battery goes in you know, the flat batteries. Yeah,
he won't be.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Able to do that either.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Are we going to ZBS to get the flat battery?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah? I actually have some flat batteries at home. I
forget what they call it. They have to be the
right ones, yes, the different ones right, Yeah, you have
to be the same exact voltage and wattage and so forth.
So I know that I just didn't couldn't figure out
how to open the key. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, I'm glad that he was able to.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm glad my New hampshireself. Always seek someone out from
New Hampshire. You know. That's that's actually a good life lesson.
Ask for help. Yeah, yeah, if you need help. But
New Hampshire people like yourself and producer Rady, you tend
to be heartier people, you know, because you deal with
the elements more than we do. Not following this at all,
I mean I track take it as a compliment. Yeah,
(02:45):
I mean, you guys just drive around and tractors and
snowmobiles all the time, so you're grittier.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I'd rather it be that I'm tech savvy in some way. Yeah,
you know, I'm in this room.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I have multiple right, it's easy to be handy. It's
better to be handy, handy.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That makes you more comfortable about yourself. That's fine, But
I do have another question. Is anybody here and feel
free to raise your hand, Lisa or Justin or producer Riley.
Is anybody in this group The Billy and Lisa Morning
Show send out newsletters?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh, well, we're talking about holiday cards because it's that
time of year and they're rolling in to the homes
all across America with the newsletters.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Something else.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, well, my aunt, my lovely aunt, writes one every year,
and she includes pictures of all of the kids and
all of their significant others and the pets, and it's
double sided usually Yeah, so yeah, she kind of breaks
down everybody's life and what they've been up to this year.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that's the one that we get.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So see, I didn't know. I knew they exit existed
at some time. I just didn't know they exit existed.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Still, they do exist, and they're consistent.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We got a four page well I didn't. I don't
even know who the person is, but my wife got
a four page newsletter, like Lisa said, that includes photographs
of the family and tells you everything they've done. Everything
they've accomplished, And I'm like, am I supposed to care?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I've never gotten one of these? We get Christmas cards? Yeah,
you know, well I get to the cards.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
In a second.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, the newsletter comes from a good place.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's it's nice because sometimes people don't see each other often,
so they're updating their friends and relatives on what's been happening.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
No, they're bragging, but I was just going to say.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That sometimes it can get to be a little braggy.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's very braggish, right, It's all about everything they have
and everything they've accomplished. Because now perfect, the children are billy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
They This is the one thing about the newsletter that's
never included the bad moments, never the struggles.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah right that social media is for yeah to post
all these things.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, you know, so I think the card giving has
diminished slightly because of social medium. People feel more connected
on a daily basis because they're just watching your feed.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, all I know is if I'm getting a newsletter
include the arrests.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I think that would be more in your children.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Was arrested on? What charge should be?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That would go up on my refrigerator as being like
the card of the year.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Failing out of school. I want to know that. What
do you don't want to know there were perfect scores
all year? Just send all the bad.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
No, because then at least you're being honest and it's.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Much more entertaining, isn't it. Oh? Hey, did you hear
little Johnny was busted struggle right? He was running a
meth lab. Expelled from school, he was running a meth lab.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah, you know, I'd ask people to send talkbacks on
this because we'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, but we don't have talkbacks. The entire system is what.
Please don't say that.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, this is going to be a great show,
a show that that you know, we we welcome talkbackers
every single day.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Is broken? Do you realize that I Heart Worldwide is
the biggest media company on the planet and we can't
even accomplish talkbacks.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, you want to hear the best part? So that
it's down the system. So then I try to go
to the to the national like I need help people.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yes, they don't need that systems down as well. That's
well because they don't exist. It's all down.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
From the planet. Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Hey guys, welcome back, and a happy Tuesday to everybody
out there. It is December sixteenth. It's going to be
a little warmer, certainly less windy today, and it's going
to get really warm toward the end of the week.
I think Wednesday and Thursday will be in the forties
and we could get into the fifties on Friday. But
here we are approaching the holidays and end of the year,
(06:56):
so to speak. So now we're sitting on a list
of the biggest pop culture moments of twenty twenty five.
Justin there were thirteen of them.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, thirteen of the biggest. Now, there are a ton
of these lists out This one is from Reader's Digest,
so you might see different lists with different moments. This
is from Reader's Digest. Let's work our way up, shall we. Yeah,
we'll start with number eleven. Number eleven is the heist
at the Louver. Oh, that story was everywhere, and luckily
for us, we had Lisa to break it down for us.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
This ladder was an electric ladder, so they just pressed
a button and it just went and they went up
to the balcony and then.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Broke through the window.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, and they stole one hundred and two million dollars
worth of jewelry which has not been recovered.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And I think Lisa's statement helped them with the investigation,
the up part of it. What did they do? I
think helped settle the whole thing. Yeah, it was that
moment they broke the case. Number ten, This was a
big moment.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled off the air after controversial monologue
remarks following the Charlie Kirk assassination.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That was a big story. I'm surprised that wasn't higher
on this list. Yeah. Think about how big that was
U when it happened.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yeah, and then you know, he ended up going back
on He signed an extension deal as well.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Number nine.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
This is like producer Riley land Belly choosing team Conrad
on the summer I turned pretty Is that a book?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Okay? What is this?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
So it was a book to TV show adaptation on
Prime and the third season came out over the summer,
and it was like a love triangle between these two brothers.
So it was a big deal that she picked.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
One of them. Obviously the tea were you on Conrad?
The right team. What was the other one.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Jeremiah, which is the wrong team?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
What show was this?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The summer? I turned pretty.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh god, I'm addicted to that. It's the best.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It was everywhere everyone was talking.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I just remember seeing it was team Conrad or team Jeremiah.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
People were split.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Was anyone team Jeremiah?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Surprisingly yes, which is like surprising because because he was
really annoying and a bad boyfriend, so like nobody really
understood why.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But they're like, oh he's so in love.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
No wrong, Okay, all right, it matters to me.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Awesome that rather gets emotional about it. The summer, I
turned pretty much Yes. Yeah. Number eight Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelsey getting engaged.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, I think this should be number one. I walked
in saying that's my number one.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
But it's not.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
It's number it's number eight. And remember she went on
the Kelsey Brothers podcast. Yeah, that was a big moment.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
This kind of felt more like I was in an
eighties John Hughes movie and he was just like standing
outside of my window with a boombox, just being like
I want.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
To date you? Yeah, do you want to do to
day with me? I made your friendship prices. Do you
want to day me outside and meet me? Just meet me?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
What sounds like this guy isn't crazy, which is a
big if. This is sort of what I've been writing
songs about wanting to happen to me since I was
a teenager.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, and it finally came to fruition.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I love the part of that story.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
They talked about Travis going to the stadium with the bracelets,
thinking that he could just walk into our dressing room
and the woman or the man that was at the
elevator or stairs that he knew would see them every day.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, stopped him the stadium, Bro, what are you doing
to talk to it?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's tailored.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So let's say hypothetically they're supposed to get married June
to thirteenth of next year. Will that be the number
one pop culture moment of the year twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:24):

Year as well, that whole that morning, but the story

Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, I had gone to the concert the night before,
so we were talking about cold Play in that whole
show week leading up to it.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And the funny thing is Chris Martin was joking there
and it turns out it was actually an affair. Yeah, crazy,
crazy crazy.

The K Pop Demon Hunters, a worldwide sensation, the most
watched Netflix film of all time, Golden Buddy. It was
a nice write up in the Boston Globe about jingle Ball. Yeah,
came out yesterday. They really liked the show, but they
did say the sing along was one of the highlights
of the show.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And we had Matt sure And from BEZ yesterday and
he said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, took them over the garden.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
We messed it because we were We're.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
All stuck backstage, we can't move, We're held prisoner backstage
doing all the interviews and everything else on a live
radio show, and I really wanted to see the sing along.
Yeah I did too. Oh well.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Number five Pope Leo the fourteenth from Chicago, becoming the
first Metria and to be elected to lead the Roman
Catholic Church. Remember they tracked down his brother. I was
reading a book.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
I got a text and said, there's a white smoke.
So I went down and turned the TV on. No
one knew at that point who the pope was, but
there was white smoke, so we knew. So I was
watching it. I called my niece to make sure she knew.
Then we just sat there and watched it, and then
she said, look, the curtains are moving. I said, oh,
something's coming up. Then that French bishop came out who
(12:27):
was going to announce it, and we heard the name
and she screamed, and I said, oh my gosh, here's
own brother.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
His own family did not know that he was going
to be the pope. But what must it be like
to have the pope as your brother? I know, I know. Wow. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Now, before Katie Perry going into orbit to promote herself
and then calling herself an astronaut, this was a moment, you.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Know, go into space now to explore something way bigger
than me, and I'm just so interested in astrophysics and
the engineer of it all in the unknown.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Shut up, Katie, the hell do you know about astrophysics?
She got blasted.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
She did Olivia mont Emily Rodatowski. They were like, they're
like calling her tone deaf.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, I think Katie Perry should have made the list
of worst pop culture moments.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, these are just the biggest, you know, that could
mean that they are bad as well, good or bad.
Number three the Brotherly Love incest scenes on the White Lotus,
Patrick Schwarzenegger's character the.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Full Front Door. It was a little weird.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
To witness simply that this is number three in the
I'm having a hard time with that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it gets tougher here.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Number two shout out to the Beehive Beyonce winning Album
of the Year at the Grammys for the first time
time ever.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay again, number two. I wouldn't give it a two.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
No, it's because it's not that shocking, you know, it's
not just won.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So many Grammys, right, but not album.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Of the Year that was a big I mean I
would put the Coldplay affair or Travis and Taylor me too. Yeah,
crazy and number one. Billy does not like this one.
The laboo boo craze. This to me is an insult.
This well, it's an embarrassment to America. It's just the
newest kid thing. There's always something.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, but I have to say it wasn't just kids.
It was like a lot of adults were buying these
for their purses.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And who are those people? Well, a lot of celebrity
adult celebrities for walking around with the boo boos hanging
from their perch everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, so they're plush toys by this guy from Hong
Kong and illustrator. Of course they can go for a
lot of money, you know, but there's also a lot
of fake ones, which is what I bought. You might remember, Yeah,
Billy and I went to Peetown this summer little getaway,
and my wife and I were in one of these
adult sex shops. Just I was just browsing and next
to the ball gags and chains and everything or the books,
(14:50):
so I thought, oh, I'm gonna get one for my son.
So I bought one. It was like twenty bucks. I
didn't know it was a lafufu.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Do you know that this Laboo Boo thing was started
by one of the girls in Black Pink. She was
talking about it at the end of the year and
she kind of put it on the map.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She's paid. Yep, she's paking a lot of money justin
Can I ask you something about lafufu? Sure is your
child toware that it came from a porn shop in Pewitown.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
He's not, but he is aware that it's a fake.
That's a fugazy because when I gave it to him,
his friend came over, who was a big Laboo Buo guy,
and immediately looked at it. He goes, this is fake,
and he showed him all the reasons why it was fake.
And then my son was just looking at me like,
I don't think he showed him all the reasons why.
I didn't know there it was like twenty bucks, but
(15:37):
they can resell for a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And there you go your number one moment. You also
bought the lafufu walking down the street in Petown wearing
Lemee hotpants.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I actually think it has more meaning it really does.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It was a moment.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
It was the ballgag, and then it was about the
story and there I was just walking down the streets
of Pitown.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, there I go.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Here you go from the Planet Fitness Kiss one Away Studios.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We're back with a Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (16:08):

go Billy Lisa.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Now the Entertainment Update with a Billy constep on Kiss
one Away.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It's not often that we start the Entertainment report with tragedy,
but Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered this week
and Rob's son Nick has been taken into custody and
is being held for the murders. Just a tragic situation
in Los Angelet's actually Brentwood out there on the West coast.
(17:17):
Jimmy Fallon addressed it last night.
Speaker 10 (17:18):
I personally remember the last time he was on our
show and he came out from the curtain and I
was so happy to see him that I hugged him
and then we didn't let go, hugging all the way
to the all the way to the guest chair.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
And we didn't plan it.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
We were just doing a bit and he knew I
was doing a bit and just went along with it.
He's one of the smartest and funniest people I've ever met.
What a tremendous loss, and he leaves behind such a legacy.
Thank you for all the great work on an offscreen
and continuing to be an inspiration to me and millions
of people around the world. In the end, I'm going
to remember all of the lasts that you've given us.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Such a loved and respected director.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, it's such a horrific, horrific story, and you know
it's with addiction and mental health. Families always suffered the most.
You know, one of the things that we tend to
tell ourselves is that we're only hurting ourselves, But really
we're hurting our family and our loved ones. And this
is just a tragic, tragic ending. Rob Ryaner seemed like
the nicest guy.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
He came into the studio.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
We met him, Yeah, he came in the studio, Yeah
he did. Just a sweet guy. Yeah, just a tragic,
tragic situation. I can't even imagine being the daughter who
walked in and found them.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
But then I know that she led police to him
to Nick.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yes, yeah, I was watching the video of them arresting him.
So he's full million dollar bail. He's on suicide watch obviously.
But the daughter that found them called the police and
then called Billy Crystal, Yes, one of his best friends.
Gilly to the house and saw the bodies.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh, I guess they had had an incident at Conan
O'Brien actually had had a holiday party and they were
having some sort of issue.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The night before.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Anyway, that's a tragic story, and the instigation continues. But again,
Nick the Sun is in custody and being charged. Meantime,
the trailer for part two, Season five of Stranger Things
has dropped, and we have a clip.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
This is not over, not by a long shot.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
This whole time.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Everything you've ever assumed about The upside Down has been
dead wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Watched it like ten times with my son yesterday the trailer. Yeah,
I can't wait Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Everything you've seen about The Upside Down is wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Billy, I know you don't watch it. You need to
give it a shot. It's not just for kids, it's
for all ages.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Well, he has to start with season one. I mean
you've got a lot of homework to do.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah. All you do is watch weird stuff every day. Yeah,
like the random thing. I'm watching land Man, and I'm
up to date with land which is a great show,
although the two women bug the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I think the biggest thing for Stranger Things that you
would like is that it's very nostalgic with the eighties.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, okay, you know you had the eighties porn mustache going,
you had the all the mus jackets with the shoulder.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah all right, Okay. I did watch the first couple
of episodes when it first came out, and then either
a better show came along or I lost interest. But
I'll give it another shot, you know what. Over the
holiday break. You'll have time, Yes, I will have plenty
of time. Speaking of Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown from
Stranger Things had to cancel her appearance on Good Morning
(20:38):
America yesterday. She did check in on camera, though here's
a clip. I'm really sorry. I couldn't be that with
you guys.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
I took a fall, so I wanted to still participate
in any way I could, because you know me.
Speaker 2 (20:51):

It sounds like a skater girl. Who uh Avril Lavine?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Oh yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
It sounds a little Avril to me.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
That's a good song. Yep, skater boy, yep, skater Okay,
you like skater boy, but you don't want stranger things. Yeah,
I'm an odd creature a little bit. Justin bieber back
on live stream last night, sounding a little bit Christmas.
Speaker 12 (22:52):
Y when it's so said and yo yo, yo, yo.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Who's he's singing to.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Well, he was doing his rehearsal thing. It was his
best friend and Jesus, oh yeah it was. You know,
it was a religious Christmasy type song. I didn't wasn't
familiar with the song, but it was a good performance.
Speaker 13 (23:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It was like eighteen minutes long. Really. Yeah. Well he
was like stretching it out and god, he's working it. Yeah.
And by the way, Justin Bieber will not be drinking
for the holidays. Here's why.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
But I've got stem cells and they said that I
have to do a month without drinking, and so I'm
like a weekend. It's been good, but it's just holidays.
Not drinking is tough, especially when to all these holiday
parties wanting to have like a glass of wine or
like just socially just you know, it's tough.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's tough. Yeah, yeah, sounded like it. Maybe I'll have
an extra Cosmo for just happy holidays, Justin. I gotta
love Chris Martin. He was asked by fans to submit
a video message for their wedding, and he showed up
and performed.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, he replied back, he goes, I think we can
do one better.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Imagine that.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, he showed up in that little hat he always wears,
and yeah it was in England.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Do you think he decided on whose wedding? I mean,
they must get things like that all the time. Why
them all the time?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
So obviously he probably has a social media person, right,
and they probably you know, pick and choose, and he
wanted to look to do something like this.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I love him cool, I do too. Nick Jonas coming
out with his first solo album in five years. He
delivered a tease of his first single in Toronto this week.
It's called gut Punch. You have been gut punched before? Funny,
you should ask really, is that what you just asked me? Yeah? Okay.
When I was in high school, you know, me and
(25:04):
my buddies in high school used to do crazy things
to each other, like we would surprise somebody one of
each other with a punch in the stomach he didn't
see coming, Like you'd come up from behind or from
the side, when you least expect that you take a
serious shot in the stomach. I'm good friends. So Dennis Clinton,
one of my best friends in high school, God rest
(25:24):
his soul. We were walking through study hall heading to
the next class. I had no idea he was even
in the area, and out of nowhere he came hit
me with the gut punch. I was knocked out. It
sucks the life right out of you. No, I was
knocked out. They had to bring me to you passed
the only time in my life. I was passed out.
(25:47):
Like he must have hit me perfectly in the solar
plexes or something. But yeah, they woke me up. I
was lying on the floor humiliated. You asked, like, like
in the mid Yeah, right in the solar plexus way.
It's dangerous, full on wow. Yeah. Oh rip to Dennis, Yes, bastard.
(26:08):

pop culture moments of twenty twenty five. Number three Patrick
Schwarzenegger and that weird thing he had going on with

of the Year, and number one pop culture moment twenty

Word Lisa kiss Awak, So.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Earlier this morning we were talking a little bit about
the Christmas card thing, but especially the newsletter. I hadn't
seen a newsletter in a long time, right, but one
came to the house yesterday and it was about four
pages long, complete with pictures and photographs. And I've just
always perceived the newsletter as kind of bragging because we said,
(28:44):
you know what, includes some of the bad stuff. I
also feel like they kind of went away right with
social media.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Well, I think the Christmas card in general has kind
of maybe gone away a little bit because the necessity
isn't as much there because if you're following someone on Instagram,
you're seeing their kids. On Facebook, you're seeing all the highlights,
you know, throughout the week, little on the year. But
the newsletter that's next level. So I have an aunt
who still does it. I love her, I adore her,
(29:11):
but she like she she will write a two page newsletter,
include pictures of all of the grown kids, that their
significant others, and the pets and the kids. And like
we said before, it's just the highlights. There are never
any low lights.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Right Tommy setting the family car on fire, give us telling.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
You exactly, because then that's like, that's real.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, people don't share that stuff on social media either.
You see the highlights on so exactly.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
So so yeah, so the holiday card I think is just.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Pre social media highlight reels. But I have to say
that I do like the Christmas cards that come in
when the kids are crying, you know, like they're in
Santa's lap, like, oh yeah, crying, and they do include
that that which.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
She explains the moment because it's usually a lot of
yelling and crying and ares.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
And then all of these like because I know, justin
you've done in the past, the big family photo. You
set it up in the fall, you're like in some
sort of beautiful apple orchard.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, you hire a photographer.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The behind the scenes of how you got to that
photo shoot is really the story nightmare, the fighting, the crying,
the kids not wanting to go.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
They don't want to put the outfits one.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
You know, it was always the biggest fight of the
year in my house when my boys were growing up.
Nobody wanted to do it. Everybody screaming at each other.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
So by the time you're standing there with the picture,
you can kind of tell that it's a forced smile.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh yeah, we have one framed in our house from
one of those shoots, and I'm thinking about everything that
went into it.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
It wasn't fun. We're not doing a Christmas card this year.
I asked my wife why, and she was kind of like,
I'm over it. She just doesn't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's hard to pull off every year.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
And here's the other thing about the Christmas card. Okay,
they're usually beautiful because most people hire a professional photographer,
and like you said, Lisa's like a setting. Everything's got
to be set up and that poses have hay barrels
and exactly props. And you know there are some that
we put right on the refrigerator like I always put
Lisa when her kids are growing up on the refrigerator,
(31:12):
justin I was putting you up on the refrigerator. Still
have mine from last year at your desk, exactly. Okay,
But here's something you need to know. Even if your
Christmas card made it to the refrigerator with the magnets,
even if it made it there, they're still going in
the trash the minute Christmas is over right in the
trash sooner.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I have to tell you I have saved one Christmas
card in all of the years that we have received
Christmas cards. And the reason why I saved it was
because it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. This
family created a square hologram Christmas card where one of
the pictures was them sitting and then the hologram you
kind of moved the card.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And then it was another picture. It was the coolest
thing I've ever seen oat technology.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
It probably cost them ten thousand dollars to do it.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I'll have it home.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I still have it because it's the ultimate Christmas I
will never see anything as cool as that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Okay, but where is it. It's in a drawer.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, okay. Every once in a while she'll open the
draw sea it. I look at it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Remember that it's in a drawer. Yeah, like in the attic.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But I think, based on prior years, that people are
getting away from the Christmas cards. I say that because
we have a mirror in our dining room where she
would hang all of the cards throughout the holiday season,
and typically every year it's full by the end. By
now it's full, there's two.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, we Yeah, I've seen a significant drop a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Everybody's documenting their lives on social all year long. Right here,
I am here. This is what we did there. Yeah,
I remember one year, I think it was two years ago.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
She tracked down this photographer that had an old vintage
red pickup truck see part of the prop. So we
went to somewhere deep in the woods. We had to
trudge through I don't know what to get there. And
then they had all the props and they had pillows.
We had to get in the back of the dirty truck.
It was a whole ordeal. The picture came out nice, though.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah. You know what else people did over the years,
like people working here, they would do the Christmas card
with somebody took a picture with backstage at jingle Ball,
no way. Yeah, here I am with Olivia Dean. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Like what.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
This has nothing to do with Christmas? Someone did that. Oh,
it was very commonplace in the industry. Yeah, they would
save the picture from kiss concert or from jingle Ball.
Speaker 9 (33:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And you know here I am, you know, just a
picture with some weird you know, like weird celebrity. Yeah,
here I am with Ricky Martin. Yeah. Random picture with
Billy Costa. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Yeah, you know what I mean.
So it's so many different layers to the Christmas card thing.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, a couple of things with that least, right, So
Billy got a guy got caught some kid using a
picture of him and Billy on his Tinder profile. Yeah,
that was his main picture.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
And then chef namesh his profile pick on Facebook as
him and Billy.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, really pretty funny. Hey, Merry Christmas for me and
Barry Man alone.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
In the morning.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, and it's the holidays and we're talking about Christmas
cards and or news letters and what we think about those?
Do they end up in the trash most of the time?
They do? And should you be sending Christmas cards when
your children are all grown, they're off and married. I
guess you could do the Christmas card with the grandchildren
and then it's okay again, But with the grown children
(34:45):
it just seems odd to me. And no matter how
much you spend for a photographer, they're usually going to
end up in the trash. Anyway, our talkback is down.
We're having technical issues with that, which really sucks. The
phones are working. I've got Sarah Fromain on the phone. Hey, Sarah,
uh oh, the phones aren't working. Sarah Fromine you there?
Speaker 14 (35:10):
Yes, good morning team, how are you today?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
We're great, Sarah. What's going on? What do you think
of this Christmas card newsletter thing?
Speaker 14 (35:18):
Well, so, on the one hand, I love a Christmas card,
but we used to have a family member, well I
guess she still does who sends the newsletter.
Speaker 15 (35:26):
Every year, and it's so ostentatious.
Speaker 14 (35:30):
So in my twenties I started doing a fake newsletter
that I would send out that really just highlighted all
of my Shenanigans. It was very sarcastic. You know, I'd
be like, oh, my.
Speaker 15 (35:45):
Dating life is going great. I'm dating the local town
drug dealer. Like this going on that I wasn't really
but you know, just a little tongue in cheek, sarcastic or.
Speaker 14 (35:57):
Sure to the no raticism that is the newsletter.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, I mean, when it comes to the newsletter, don't
you want to hear some of the bad stuff.
Speaker 14 (36:07):
Yeah, or at least be a little self deprecated at it.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's the point instead of me me, me,
me me, and nothing is ever that perfect now.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's not right.
Speaker 14 (36:17):
Well, especially this one was funny because it was when
the other family member that I'm related to was in
like a pretty low level job and it was like, oh,
he got promoted to this, and it was like, okay,
that's basically like you're the head janitor.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
I don't know, not anything.
Speaker 14 (36:35):
Against janators, but it just it was like, that's not
really anything to.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Brag about, exactly, because it is all about the brag,
right the newsletter. It's kind of freakish, like, you know,
how about, hey, here's a picture of my older brother
who took a puck in the face in a hockey
game and you see the blood streaming down his face.
You know, like some cool stuff. I like that, I do.
That's good. Then give us an update.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
By the way, Sarah Friday, we're picking the talkbacker of
the year.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
So you you're in the morning.
Speaker 14 (37:06):
I mean listen. You know, I know that I'm not
on my usual talkback today, but I am happy to
be nominated. And this is my one final plug to
the public. Remember who had to suffer through the miss
main pageant to bring you all the contents that you wanted.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, it's right, Yeah, a major factor. Sarah. Yep, thank
you Friday morning, Sarah.
Speaker 15 (37:31):
I'll be oh, I'll be tuned in.

Are you still going to send us talkbacks?
Speaker 12 (37:39):
Of course?
Speaker 14 (37:40):
Listen, I already said this suggestion. I do it for
the love of the yapp.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
There you go, there we go, love it. Thank you.
We should go to the mayor.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
He's upset the talkbacks are down, so now he's calling
old school.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh yeah, because talkback's the mayor's platform.
Speaker 12 (37:55):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Good morning, mister mayor, how are you?
Speaker 16 (37:58):
Good Morning's familiar with the South end and I'm brought
to you by top Dog Law. They send me something
because you know, I said every morning top dog Law,
fie hundred times. Y's my Christmas card thing. I send
out two sets of cards. I send out like religious
(38:19):
holy cards, and then I send out naughty cards that
I get at the gay book store. So one year
I sent the wrong person a naughty card.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Oh yeah, so it was.
Speaker 16 (38:31):
It was just like it was just like a naked
man under Christmas tree with the bow strategically placed. M
The person called me back, she thanked me. She said
it was the best Christmas card she ever got. She
has it on her fridge every day.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
My feel all right, mister Mayor, thanks for checking in,
going out of your way. I know the talk back
makes you comfortable and it's your platform, but thanks for
calling you.

I love it?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Are you my wife?
Speaker 7 (40:59):
No? Not your wife and somebody else's wife. Good morning.
We live from my cousin's letter.
Speaker 13 (41:06):
And she stopped doing it, and we've all demanded that
it come back because she does the polar opposite of brag.
It's like Festivus rolled in to It makes us all
feel good when you're holding on by a string. At
the end of the year, every little Shenan again that
her kids and her husband have done like rip them
to shreds.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
From the time the kids were little. She's got her
one daughter, I'll change the name. We'll call her Holly.
When she was three, she goes, yeah, this one goes
by three names. Holly, stop Polly, don't Holly go home.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
So why did she stop writing it?
Speaker 7 (41:41):
Her kids demanded. They were mortified. She's like, well, stop
doing stupid stuff. And yeah, So every every year, everybody
lived for her letter, and she's brought it back out occasionally,
but she's got a million balls in the air and
she's like, okay, trying to get it all done. But
the stuff that she put we would die. Like she
(42:02):
actually did my dad's obituary and managed to have us
all in hysterics laughing.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
He's a good writer.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Yeah, she's a very very good writer. Yeah, we were
all demanding it come back. So you know who you are,
and if you're listening, there's still time. Get it in
the veil.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Yeah, maybe she's listening and she'll get the message, we hope.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
So well. I wish you all merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Merry Christmas. Yeah I could.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I could write one on my kids too, all the
crazy stuff, like I think it was this year he
called nine My son called nine one one on his
friend in the neighborhood because he called him a bad name.
And the cops knocking on my door. Oh yeah, that
wasn't a good day.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
No, no, no, that's a good story. No, let's go
to Julian Milton online. Four. Uh, Julie you there. Yeah,
everything broken.
Speaker 7 (42:54):
I love your show.
Speaker 12 (42:56):
Thanks so much for bringing a little joy to my
morning every morning.
Speaker 15 (42:59):
We always sent cards when the kids are a little
We did it for about ten years.
Speaker 16 (43:02):
It's fast a few years ago.
Speaker 14 (43:05):
But I still love receiving them.
Speaker 15 (43:06):
And I feel a little bit bad sometimes that I
don't send them anymore.
Speaker 14 (43:09):
But I really like getting them.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, I don't mind getting them.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, I like getting them too. I do, and it's heartfelt.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
And I used to send them like you, but now
we don't really do it much anymore.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Yeah, And again I like getting them. It just makes
no sense once I've gotten it. It's like it just
seems sad that somebody spent all this money and away
it's just the initial reason.
Speaker 1 (43:34):
Do you get it and then throw it right away?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Or you don't put that I put them in a
basket like through the holidays, really yeah, so that everybody
can look through them.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
You know what Billy does least he gets it.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
Oh this is nice, And he looks at the picture
and he's like, oh, oh, he's put on a little
bit
Now this morning show in Boston, Billie and Lisa in
the morning. It's just a great start to my day
on Kiss one away.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hey, guys, so welcome in. It is the Billy and
Lisa Morning Show and Lisa Dunovan going to be a
little bit warmer today.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I think it's going to be warmer because we're gonna
have less wind. That'll be you know, sunny, but thirties again.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And they're talking about fifty or maybe in the fifties
for Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, so we'll get back up into the fifties.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yeah, fifty eight on Wow, go figure.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
My poor mother in law was in Florida for two weeks,
came back last night. That's a rude awakening.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh yeah, biting cool.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
She was posting pictures all up and down Florida at
the beach eighty degrees.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
This from Donnie. Yeah, wow, ripping butts up and down
the beach in Florida, oh everywhere. But she's back, and wow.
You know, at least I don't know if you're ware
of this, but Justin is a really good source for
stuff that you wouldn't realize. Okay, you don't like I
have a key to my car, Okay, and apparently the
battery and the key is running low. The key fob. Yeah,
(01:07):
so okay, it's not even a fob, it's the key.
And then sometimes the car won't start and it gives
me a signal that the battery and the key is low. Yes,
I couldn't figure it out, okay, but I thought to myself,
wait a minute. Justin lives in New Hampshire. They know
stuff we don't know up there.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
You mean changing the battery in your key, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Hampshire things, I think we no. I knew that somehow
the key would come apart, like I knew there was
the secret key that comes out right, and I knew
somehow there was a battery in there. I just couldn't
get it open. I bring it into Justin. Within fifty
seconds he's got the thing open and it's all. That's great.
All I need to do is go get the new
(01:48):
battery now and are you holding my key in there
right now? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
It's all apart the key fob right now. What's going
to happen is I showed Billy Lisa I have it open.
He has to open the little compartment with a battery.
You got a battery goes in you know, the flat batteries. Yeah,
he won't be.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Able to do that either.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Are we going to ZBS to get the flat battery?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah? I actually have some flat batteries at home. I
forget what they call it. They have to be the
right ones, yes, the different ones right, Yeah, you have
to be the same exact voltage and wattage and so forth.
So I know that I just didn't couldn't figure out
how to open the key. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, I'm glad that he was able to.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I'm glad my New hampshireself. Always seek someone out from
New Hampshire. You know. That's that's actually a good life lesson.
Ask for help. Yeah, yeah, if you need help. But
New Hampshire people like yourself and producer Rady, you tend
to be heartier people, you know, because you deal with
the elements more than we do. Not following this at all,
I mean I track take it as a compliment. Yeah,
(02:45):
I mean, you guys just drive around and tractors and
snowmobiles all the time, so you're grittier.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
I'd rather it be that I'm tech savvy in some way. Yeah,
you know, I'm in this room.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I have multiple right, it's easy to be handy. It's
better to be handy, handy.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That makes you more comfortable about yourself. That's fine, But
I do have another question. Is anybody here and feel
free to raise your hand, Lisa or Justin or producer Riley.
Is anybody in this group The Billy and Lisa Morning
Show send out newsletters?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh, well, we're talking about holiday cards because it's that
time of year and they're rolling in to the homes
all across America with the newsletters.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Something else.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, well, my aunt, my lovely aunt, writes one every year,
and she includes pictures of all of the kids and
all of their significant others and the pets, and it's
double sided usually Yeah, so yeah, she kind of breaks
down everybody's life and what they've been up to this year.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And that's the one that we get.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So see, I didn't know. I knew they exit existed
at some time. I just didn't know they exit existed.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Still, they do exist, and they're consistent.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
We got a four page well I didn't. I don't
even know who the person is, but my wife got
a four page newsletter, like Lisa said, that includes photographs
of the family and tells you everything they've done. Everything
they've accomplished, And I'm like, am I supposed to care?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I've never gotten one of these? We get Christmas cards? Yeah,
you know, well I get to the cards.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
In a second.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, the newsletter comes from a good place.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
That's it's nice because sometimes people don't see each other often,
so they're updating their friends and relatives on what's been happening.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
No, they're bragging, but I was just going to say.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
That sometimes it can get to be a little braggy.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It's very braggish, right, It's all about everything they have
and everything they've accomplished. Because now perfect, the children are billy.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
They This is the one thing about the newsletter that's
never included the bad moments, never the struggles.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah right that social media is for yeah to post
all these things.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Well, you know, so I think the card giving has
diminished slightly because of social medium. People feel more connected
on a daily basis because they're just watching your feed.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Well, all I know is if I'm getting a newsletter
include the arrests.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I think that would be more in your children.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Was arrested on? What charge should be?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
That would go up on my refrigerator as being like
the card of the year.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Failing out of school. I want to know that. What
do you don't want to know there were perfect scores
all year? Just send all the bad.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
No, because then at least you're being honest and it's.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Much more entertaining, isn't it. Oh? Hey, did you hear
little Johnny was busted struggle right? He was running a
meth lab. Expelled from school, he was running a meth lab.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Yeah, you know, I'd ask people to send talkbacks on
this because we'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, but we don't have talkbacks. The entire system is what.
Please don't say that.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, this is going to be a great show,
a show that that you know, we we welcome talkbackers
every single day.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Is broken? Do you realize that I Heart Worldwide is
the biggest media company on the planet and we can't
even accomplish talkbacks.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, you want to hear the best part? So that
it's down the system. So then I try to go
to the to the national like I need help people.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yes, they don't need that systems down as well. That's
well because they don't exist. It's all down.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
From the planet. Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
We're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Hey guys, welcome back, and a happy Tuesday to everybody
out there. It is December sixteenth. It's going to be
a little warmer, certainly less windy today, and it's going
to get really warm toward the end of the week.
I think Wednesday and Thursday will be in the forties
and we could get into the fifties on Friday. But
here we are approaching the holidays and end of the year,
(06:56):
so to speak. So now we're sitting on a list
of the biggest pop culture moments of twenty twenty five.
Justin there were thirteen of them.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Yeah, thirteen of the biggest. Now, there are a ton
of these lists out This one is from Reader's Digest,
so you might see different lists with different moments. This
is from Reader's Digest. Let's work our way up, shall we. Yeah,
we'll start with number eleven. Number eleven is the heist
at the Louver. Oh, that story was everywhere, and luckily
for us, we had Lisa to break it down for us.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
This ladder was an electric ladder, so they just pressed
a button and it just went and they went up
to the balcony and then.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Broke through the window.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, and they stole one hundred and two million dollars
worth of jewelry which has not been recovered.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And I think Lisa's statement helped them with the investigation,
the up part of it. What did they do? I
think helped settle the whole thing. Yeah, it was that
moment they broke the case. Number ten, This was a
big moment.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled off the air after controversial monologue
remarks following the Charlie Kirk assassination.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
That was a big story. I'm surprised that wasn't higher
on this list. Yeah. Think about how big that was
U when it happened.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
Yeah, and then you know, he ended up going back
on He signed an extension deal as well.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Number nine.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
This is like producer Riley land Belly choosing team Conrad
on the summer I turned pretty Is that a book?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Okay? What is this?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
So it was a book to TV show adaptation on
Prime and the third season came out over the summer,
and it was like a love triangle between these two brothers.
So it was a big deal that she picked.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
One of them. Obviously the tea were you on Conrad?
The right team. What was the other one.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Jeremiah, which is the wrong team?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
What show was this?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
The summer? I turned pretty.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh god, I'm addicted to that. It's the best.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It was everywhere everyone was talking.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I just remember seeing it was team Conrad or team Jeremiah.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
People were split.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Was anyone team Jeremiah?
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Surprisingly yes, which is like surprising because because he was
really annoying and a bad boyfriend, so like nobody really
understood why.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But they're like, oh he's so in love.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
No wrong, Okay, all right, it matters to me.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Awesome that rather gets emotional about it. The summer, I
turned pretty much Yes. Yeah. Number eight Taylor Swift and
Travis Kelsey getting engaged.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, I think this should be number one. I walked
in saying that's my number one.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
But it's not.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
It's number it's number eight. And remember she went on
the Kelsey Brothers podcast. Yeah, that was a big moment.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
This kind of felt more like I was in an
eighties John Hughes movie and he was just like standing
outside of my window with a boombox, just being like
I want.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
To date you? Yeah, do you want to do to
day with me? I made your friendship prices. Do you
want to day me outside and meet me? Just meet me?
Speaker 6 (09:43):
What sounds like this guy isn't crazy, which is a
big if. This is sort of what I've been writing
songs about wanting to happen to me since I was
a teenager.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, and it finally came to fruition.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
I love the part of that story.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
They talked about Travis going to the stadium with the bracelets,
thinking that he could just walk into our dressing room
and the woman or the man that was at the
elevator or stairs that he knew would see them every day.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah, stopped him the stadium, Bro, what are you doing
to talk to it?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
It's tailored.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
So let's say hypothetically they're supposed to get married June
to thirteenth of next year. Will that be the number
one pop culture moment of the year twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh, we don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
They can do better than eight yeap honestly, Yeah, definitely
number seven. The cold Play.
Speaker 1 (10:29):

Year as well, that whole that morning, but the story
broke we were live on the air.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Well, I had gone to the concert the night before,
so we were talking about cold Play in that whole
show week leading up to it.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And the funny thing is Chris Martin was joking there
and it turns out it was actually an affair. Yeah, crazy,
crazy crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
By the way, the Billy and Lisa Top twenty five
Moments of twenty twenty five that's special will begin running
running on Monday morning. Oh nice Monday, So there you go.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
The K Pop Demon Hunters, a worldwide sensation, the most
watched Netflix film of all time, Golden Buddy. It was
a nice write up in the Boston Globe about jingle Ball. Yeah,
came out yesterday. They really liked the show, but they
did say the sing along was one of the highlights
of the show.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
And we had Matt sure And from BEZ yesterday and
he said the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, took them over the garden.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
We messed it because we were We're.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
All stuck backstage, we can't move, We're held prisoner backstage
doing all the interviews and everything else on a live
radio show, and I really wanted to see the sing along.
Yeah I did too. Oh well.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Number five Pope Leo the fourteenth from Chicago, becoming the
first Metria and to be elected to lead the Roman
Catholic Church. Remember they tracked down his brother. I was
reading a book.
Speaker 8 (12:06):
I got a text and said, there's a white smoke.
So I went down and turned the TV on. No
one knew at that point who the pope was, but
there was white smoke, so we knew. So I was
watching it. I called my niece to make sure she knew.
Then we just sat there and watched it, and then
she said, look, the curtains are moving. I said, oh,
something's coming up. Then that French bishop came out who
(12:27):
was going to announce it, and we heard the name
and she screamed, and I said, oh my gosh, here's
own brother.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
His own family did not know that he was going
to be the pope. But what must it be like
to have the pope as your brother? I know, I know. Wow. Crazy.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Now, before Katie Perry going into orbit to promote herself
and then calling herself an astronaut, this was a moment, you.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Know, go into space now to explore something way bigger
than me, and I'm just so interested in astrophysics and
the engineer of it all in the unknown.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Shut up, Katie, the hell do you know about astrophysics?
She got blasted.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
She did Olivia mont Emily Rodatowski. They were like, they're
like calling her tone deaf.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, I think Katie Perry should have made the list
of worst pop culture moments.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, these are just the biggest, you know, that could
mean that they are bad as well, good or bad.
Number three the Brotherly Love incest scenes on the White Lotus,
Patrick Schwarzenegger's character the.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Full Front Door. It was a little weird.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
To witness simply that this is number three in the
I'm having a hard time with that.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, it gets tougher here.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Number two shout out to the Beehive Beyonce winning Album
of the Year at the Grammys for the first time
time ever.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Okay again, number two. I wouldn't give it a two.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
No, it's because it's not that shocking, you know, it's
not just won.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So many Grammys, right, but not album.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Of the Year that was a big I mean I
would put the Coldplay affair or Travis and Taylor me too. Yeah,
crazy and number one. Billy does not like this one.
The laboo boo craze. This to me is an insult.
This well, it's an embarrassment to America. It's just the
newest kid thing. There's always something.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, but I have to say it wasn't just kids.
It was like a lot of adults were buying these
for their purses.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And who are those people? Well, a lot of celebrity
adult celebrities for walking around with the boo boos hanging
from their perch everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, so they're plush toys by this guy from Hong
Kong and illustrator. Of course they can go for a
lot of money, you know, but there's also a lot
of fake ones, which is what I bought. You might remember, Yeah,
Billy and I went to Peetown this summer little getaway,
and my wife and I were in one of these
adult sex shops. Just I was just browsing and next
to the ball gags and chains and everything or the books,
(14:50):
so I thought, oh, I'm gonna get one for my son.
So I bought one. It was like twenty bucks. I
didn't know it was a lafufu.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Do you know that this Laboo Boo thing was started
by one of the girls in Black Pink. She was
talking about it at the end of the year and
she kind of put it on the map.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She's paid. Yep, she's paking a lot of money justin
Can I ask you something about lafufu? Sure is your
child toware that it came from a porn shop in Pewitown.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
He's not, but he is aware that it's a fake.
That's a fugazy because when I gave it to him,
his friend came over, who was a big Laboo Buo guy,
and immediately looked at it. He goes, this is fake,
and he showed him all the reasons why it was fake.
And then my son was just looking at me like,
I don't think he showed him all the reasons why.
I didn't know there it was like twenty bucks, but
(15:37):
they can resell for a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And there you go your number one moment. You also
bought the lafufu walking down the street in Petown wearing
Lemee hotpants.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I actually think it has more meaning it really does.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
It was a moment.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
It was the ballgag, and then it was about the
story and there I was just walking down the streets
of Pitown.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah, there I go.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Here you go from the Planet Fitness Kiss one Away Studios.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We're back with a Billy and Lisa in the morning.

go Billy Lisa.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Now the Entertainment Update with a Billy constep on Kiss
one Away.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
It's not often that we start the Entertainment report with tragedy,
but Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered this week
and Rob's son Nick has been taken into custody and
is being held for the murders. Just a tragic situation
in Los Angelet's actually Brentwood out there on the West coast.
(17:17):
Jimmy Fallon addressed it last night.
Speaker 10 (17:18):
I personally remember the last time he was on our
show and he came out from the curtain and I
was so happy to see him that I hugged him
and then we didn't let go, hugging all the way
to the all the way to the guest chair.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
And we didn't plan it.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
We were just doing a bit and he knew I
was doing a bit and just went along with it.
He's one of the smartest and funniest people I've ever met.
What a tremendous loss, and he leaves behind such a legacy.
Thank you for all the great work on an offscreen
and continuing to be an inspiration to me and millions
of people around the world. In the end, I'm going
to remember all of the lasts that you've given us.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Such a loved and respected director.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Well, it's such a horrific, horrific story, and you know
it's with addiction and mental health. Families always suffered the most.
You know, one of the things that we tend to
tell ourselves is that we're only hurting ourselves, But really
we're hurting our family and our loved ones. And this
is just a tragic, tragic ending. Rob Ryaner seemed like
the nicest guy.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
He came into the studio.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
We met him, Yeah, he came in the studio, Yeah
he did. Just a sweet guy. Yeah, just a tragic,
tragic situation. I can't even imagine being the daughter who
walked in and found them.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
But then I know that she led police to him
to Nick.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yes, yeah, I was watching the video of them arresting him.
So he's full million dollar bail. He's on suicide watch obviously.
But the daughter that found them called the police and
then called Billy Crystal, Yes, one of his best friends.
Gilly to the house and saw the bodies.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Oh, I guess they had had an incident at Conan
O'Brien actually had had a holiday party and they were
having some sort of issue.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
The night before.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Anyway, that's a tragic story, and the instigation continues. But again,
Nick the Sun is in custody and being charged. Meantime,
the trailer for part two, Season five of Stranger Things
has dropped, and we have a clip.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
This is not over, not by a long shot.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
This whole time.
Speaker 8 (19:23):
Everything you've ever assumed about The upside Down has been
dead wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Watched it like ten times with my son yesterday the trailer. Yeah,
I can't wait Christmas Day.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Everything you've seen about The Upside Down is wrong.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Billy, I know you don't watch it. You need to
give it a shot. It's not just for kids, it's
for all ages.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Well, he has to start with season one. I mean
you've got a lot of homework to do.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah. All you do is watch weird stuff every day. Yeah,
like the random thing. I'm watching land Man, and I'm
up to date with land which is a great show,
although the two women bug the hell out of me.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I think the biggest thing for Stranger Things that you
would like is that it's very nostalgic with the eighties.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, okay, you know you had the eighties porn mustache going,
you had the all the mus jackets with the shoulder.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Yeah all right, Okay. I did watch the first couple
of episodes when it first came out, and then either
a better show came along or I lost interest. But
I'll give it another shot, you know what. Over the
holiday break. You'll have time, Yes, I will have plenty
of time. Speaking of Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown from
Stranger Things had to cancel her appearance on Good Morning
(20:38):
America yesterday. She did check in on camera, though here's
a clip. I'm really sorry. I couldn't be that with
you guys.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
I took a fall, so I wanted to still participate
in any way I could, because you know me.

It sounds like a skater girl. Who uh Avril Lavine?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Oh yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
It sounds a little Avril to me.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
That's a good song. Yep, skater boy, yep, skater Okay,
you like skater boy, but you don't want stranger things. Yeah,
I'm an odd creature a little bit. Justin bieber back
on live stream last night, sounding a little bit Christmas.
Speaker 12 (22:52):
Y when it's so said and yo yo, yo, yo.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Who's he's singing to.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
Well, he was doing his rehearsal thing. It was his
best friend and Jesus, oh yeah it was. You know,
it was a religious Christmasy type song. I didn't wasn't
familiar with the song, but it was a good performance.
Speaker 13 (23:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It was like eighteen minutes long. Really. Yeah. Well he
was like stretching it out and god, he's working it. Yeah.
And by the way, Justin Bieber will not be drinking
for the holidays. Here's why.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
But I've got stem cells and they said that I
have to do a month without drinking, and so I'm
like a weekend. It's been good, but it's just holidays.
Not drinking is tough, especially when to all these holiday
parties wanting to have like a glass of wine or
like just socially just you know, it's tough.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
It's tough. Yeah, yeah, sounded like it. Maybe I'll have
an extra Cosmo for just happy holidays, Justin. I gotta
love Chris Martin. He was asked by fans to submit
a video message for their wedding, and he showed up
and performed.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, he replied back, he goes, I think we can
do one better.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Imagine that.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah, he showed up in that little hat he always wears,
and yeah it was in England.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Do you think he decided on whose wedding? I mean,
they must get things like that all the time. Why
them all the time?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:33):
So obviously he probably has a social media person, right,
and they probably you know, pick and choose, and he
wanted to look to do something like this.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I love him cool, I do too. Nick Jonas coming
out with his first solo album in five years. He
delivered a tease of his first single in Toronto this week.
It's called gut Punch. You have been gut punched before? Funny,
you should ask really, is that what you just asked me? Yeah? Okay.
When I was in high school, you know, me and
(25:04):
my buddies in high school used to do crazy things
to each other, like we would surprise somebody one of
each other with a punch in the stomach he didn't
see coming, Like you'd come up from behind or from
the side, when you least expect that you take a
serious shot in the stomach. I'm good friends. So Dennis Clinton,
one of my best friends in high school, God rest
(25:24):
his soul. We were walking through study hall heading to
the next class. I had no idea he was even
in the area, and out of nowhere he came hit
me with the gut punch. I was knocked out. It
sucks the life right out of you. No, I was
knocked out. They had to bring me to you passed
the only time in my life. I was passed out.
(25:47):
Like he must have hit me perfectly in the solar
plexes or something. But yeah, they woke me up. I
was lying on the floor humiliated. You asked, like, like
in the mid Yeah, right in the solar plexus way.
It's dangerous, full on wow. Yeah. Oh rip to Dennis, Yes, bastard.
(26:08):

pop culture moments of twenty twenty five. Number three Patrick
Schwarzenegger and that weird thing he had going on with

Word Lisa kiss Awak, So.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Earlier this morning we were talking a little bit about
the Christmas card thing, but especially the newsletter. I hadn't
seen a newsletter in a long time, right, but one
came to the house yesterday and it was about four
pages long, complete with pictures and photographs. And I've just
always perceived the newsletter as kind of bragging because we said,
(28:44):
you know what, includes some of the bad stuff. I
also feel like they kind of went away right with
social media.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Well, I think the Christmas card in general has kind
of maybe gone away a little bit because the necessity
isn't as much there because if you're following someone on Instagram,
you're seeing their kids. On Facebook, you're seeing all the highlights,
you know, throughout the week, little on the year. But
the newsletter that's next level. So I have an aunt
who still does it. I love her, I adore her,
(29:11):
but she like she she will write a two page newsletter,
include pictures of all of the grown kids, that their
significant others, and the pets and the kids. And like
we said before, it's just the highlights. There are never
any low lights.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Right Tommy setting the family car on fire, give us telling.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
You exactly, because then that's like, that's real.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah, people don't share that stuff on social media either.
You see the highlights on so exactly.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
So so yeah, so the holiday card I think is just.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Pre social media highlight reels. But I have to say
that I do like the Christmas cards that come in
when the kids are crying, you know, like they're in
Santa's lap, like, oh yeah, crying, and they do include
that that which.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
She explains the moment because it's usually a lot of
yelling and crying and ares.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
And then all of these like because I know, justin
you've done in the past, the big family photo. You
set it up in the fall, you're like in some
sort of beautiful apple orchard.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, you hire a photographer.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
The behind the scenes of how you got to that
photo shoot is really the story nightmare, the fighting, the crying,
the kids not wanting to go.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
They don't want to put the outfits one.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
You know, it was always the biggest fight of the
year in my house when my boys were growing up.
Nobody wanted to do it. Everybody screaming at each other.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
So by the time you're standing there with the picture,
you can kind of tell that it's a forced smile.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh yeah, we have one framed in our house from
one of those shoots, and I'm thinking about everything that
went into it.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
It wasn't fun. We're not doing a Christmas card this year.
I asked my wife why, and she was kind of like,
I'm over it. She just doesn't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's hard to pull off every year.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
And here's the other thing about the Christmas card. Okay,
they're usually beautiful because most people hire a professional photographer,
and like you said, Lisa's like a setting. Everything's got
to be set up and that poses have hay barrels
and exactly props. And you know there are some that
we put right on the refrigerator like I always put
Lisa when her kids are growing up on the refrigerator,
(31:12):
justin I was putting you up on the refrigerator. Still
have mine from last year at your desk, exactly. Okay,
But here's something you need to know. Even if your
Christmas card made it to the refrigerator with the magnets,
even if it made it there, they're still going in
the trash the minute Christmas is over right in the
trash sooner.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
I have to tell you I have saved one Christmas
card in all of the years that we have received
Christmas cards. And the reason why I saved it was
because it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. This
family created a square hologram Christmas card where one of
the pictures was them sitting and then the hologram you
kind of moved the card.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
And then it was another picture. It was the coolest
thing I've ever seen oat technology.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
It probably cost them ten thousand dollars to do it.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I'll have it home.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I still have it because it's the ultimate Christmas I
will never see anything as cool as that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Okay, but where is it. It's in a drawer.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, okay. Every once in a while she'll open the
draw sea it. I look at it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Remember that it's in a drawer. Yeah, like in the attic.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
But I think, based on prior years, that people are
getting away from the Christmas cards. I say that because
we have a mirror in our dining room where she
would hang all of the cards throughout the holiday season,
and typically every year it's full by the end. By
now it's full, there's two.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, we Yeah, I've seen a significant drop a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
But yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Everybody's documenting their lives on social all year long. Right here,
I am here. This is what we did there. Yeah,
I remember one year, I think it was two years ago.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
She tracked down this photographer that had an old vintage
red pickup truck see part of the prop. So we
went to somewhere deep in the woods. We had to
trudge through I don't know what to get there. And
then they had all the props and they had pillows.
We had to get in the back of the dirty truck.
It was a whole ordeal. The picture came out nice, though.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah. You know what else people did over the years,
like people working here, they would do the Christmas card
with somebody took a picture with backstage at jingle Ball,
no way. Yeah, here I am with Olivia Dean. Merry Christmas.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Like what.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
This has nothing to do with Christmas? Someone did that. Oh,
it was very commonplace in the industry. Yeah, they would
save the picture from kiss concert or from jingle Ball.
Speaker 9 (33:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And you know here I am, you know, just a
picture with some weird you know, like weird celebrity. Yeah,
here I am with Ricky Martin. Yeah. Random picture with
Billy Costa. Yeah, Merry Christmas. Yeah, you know what I mean.
So it's so many different layers to the Christmas card thing.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Yeah, a couple of things with that least, right, So
Billy got a guy got caught some kid using a
picture of him and Billy on his Tinder profile. Yeah,
that was his main picture.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
And then chef namesh his profile pick on Facebook as
him and Billy.
Speaker 7 (34:11):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, really pretty funny. Hey, Merry Christmas for me and
Barry Man alone.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
In the morning.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, and it's the holidays and we're talking about Christmas
cards and or news letters and what we think about those?
Do they end up in the trash most of the time?
They do? And should you be sending Christmas cards when
your children are all grown, they're off and married. I
guess you could do the Christmas card with the grandchildren
and then it's okay again, But with the grown children
(34:45):
it just seems odd to me. And no matter how
much you spend for a photographer, they're usually going to
end up in the trash. Anyway, our talkback is down.
We're having technical issues with that, which really sucks. The
phones are working. I've got Sarah Fromain on the phone. Hey, Sarah,
uh oh, the phones aren't working. Sarah Fromine you there?
Speaker 14 (35:10):
Yes, good morning team, how are you today?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
We're great, Sarah. What's going on? What do you think
of this Christmas card newsletter thing?
Speaker 14 (35:18):
Well, so, on the one hand, I love a Christmas card,
but we used to have a family member, well I
guess she still does who sends the newsletter.
Speaker 15 (35:26):
Every year, and it's so ostentatious.
Speaker 14 (35:30):
So in my twenties I started doing a fake newsletter
that I would send out that really just highlighted all
of my Shenanigans. It was very sarcastic. You know, I'd
be like, oh, my.
Speaker 15 (35:45):
Dating life is going great. I'm dating the local town
drug dealer. Like this going on that I wasn't really
but you know, just a little tongue in cheek, sarcastic or.
Speaker 14 (35:57):
Sure to the no raticism that is the newsletter.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah, I mean, when it comes to the newsletter, don't
you want to hear some of the bad stuff.
Speaker 14 (36:07):
Yeah, or at least be a little self deprecated at it.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's the point instead of me me, me,
me me, and nothing is ever that perfect now.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's not right.
Speaker 14 (36:17):
Well, especially this one was funny because it was when
the other family member that I'm related to was in
like a pretty low level job and it was like, oh,
he got promoted to this, and it was like, okay,
that's basically like you're the head janitor.
Speaker 7 (36:33):
I don't know, not anything.
Speaker 14 (36:35):
Against janators, but it just it was like, that's not
really anything to.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Brag about, exactly, because it is all about the brag,
right the newsletter. It's kind of freakish, like, you know,
how about, hey, here's a picture of my older brother
who took a puck in the face in a hockey
game and you see the blood streaming down his face.
You know, like some cool stuff. I like that, I do.
That's good. Then give us an update.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
By the way, Sarah Friday, we're picking the talkbacker of
the year.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
So you you're in the morning.
Speaker 14 (37:06):
I mean listen. You know, I know that I'm not
on my usual talkback today, but I am happy to
be nominated. And this is my one final plug to
the public. Remember who had to suffer through the miss
main pageant to bring you all the contents that you wanted.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah, it's right, Yeah, a major factor. Sarah. Yep, thank
you Friday morning, Sarah.
Speaker 15 (37:31):
I'll be oh, I'll be tuned in.

Are you still going to send us talkbacks?
Speaker 12 (37:39):
Of course?
Speaker 14 (37:40):
Listen, I already said this suggestion. I do it for
the love of the yapp.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
There you go, there we go, love it. Thank you.
We should go to the mayor.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
He's upset the talkbacks are down, so now he's calling
old school.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh yeah, because talkback's the mayor's platform.
Speaker 12 (37:55):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Good morning, mister mayor, how are you?
Speaker 16 (37:58):
Good Morning's familiar with the South end and I'm brought
to you by top Dog Law. They send me something
because you know, I said every morning top dog Law,
fie hundred times. Y's my Christmas card thing. I send
out two sets of cards. I send out like religious
(38:19):
holy cards, and then I send out naughty cards that
I get at the gay book store. So one year
I sent the wrong person a naughty card.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Oh yeah, so it was.
Speaker 16 (38:31):
It was just like it was just like a naked
man under Christmas tree with the bow strategically placed. M
The person called me back, she thanked me. She said
it was the best Christmas card she ever got. She
has it on her fridge every day.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
My feel all right, mister Mayor, thanks for checking in,
going out of your way. I know the talk back
makes you comfortable and it's your platform, but thanks for
calling you.

I love it?
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Are you my wife?
Speaker 7 (40:59):
No? Not your wife and somebody else's wife. Good morning.
We live from my cousin's letter.
Speaker 13 (41:06):
And she stopped doing it, and we've all demanded that
it come back because she does the polar opposite of brag.
It's like Festivus rolled in to It makes us all
feel good when you're holding on by a string. At
the end of the year, every little Shenan again that
her kids and her husband have done like rip them
to shreds.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
From the time the kids were little. She's got her
one daughter, I'll change the name. We'll call her Holly.
When she was three, she goes, yeah, this one goes
by three names. Holly, stop Polly, don't Holly go home.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
So why did she stop writing it?
Speaker 7 (41:41):
Her kids demanded. They were mortified. She's like, well, stop
doing stupid stuff. And yeah, So every every year, everybody
lived for her letter, and she's brought it back out occasionally,
but she's got a million balls in the air and
she's like, okay, trying to get it all done. But
the stuff that she put we would die. Like she
(42:02):
actually did my dad's obituary and managed to have us
all in hysterics laughing.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
He's a good writer.
Speaker 7 (42:09):
Yeah, she's a very very good writer. Yeah, we were
all demanding it come back. So you know who you are,
and if you're listening, there's still time. Get it in
the veil.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Yeah, maybe she's listening and she'll get the message, we hope.
Speaker 7 (42:22):
So well. I wish you all merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Merry Christmas. Yeah I could.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I could write one on my kids too, all the
crazy stuff, like I think it was this year he
called nine My son called nine one one on his
friend in the neighborhood because he called him a bad name.
And the cops knocking on my door. Oh yeah, that
wasn't a good day.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
No, no, no, that's a good story. No, let's go
to Julian Milton online. Four. Uh, Julie you there. Yeah,
everything broken.
Speaker 7 (42:54):
I love your show.
Speaker 12 (42:56):
Thanks so much for bringing a little joy to my
morning every morning.
Speaker 15 (42:59):
We always sent cards when the kids are a little
We did it for about ten years.
Speaker 16 (43:02):
It's fast a few years ago.
Speaker 14 (43:05):
But I still love receiving them.
Speaker 15 (43:06):
And I feel a little bit bad sometimes that I
don't send them anymore.
Speaker 14 (43:09):
But I really like getting them.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, I don't mind getting them.
Speaker 1 (43:14):
Yeah, I like getting them too. I do, and it's heartfelt.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
And I used to send them like you, but now
we don't really do it much anymore.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Yeah, And again I like getting them. It just makes
no sense once I've gotten it. It's like it just
seems sad that somebody spent all this money and away
