It is just nay that it is the Billy and
Lisa Show on a Wednesday morning. So much to get
to this morning. But first, if you're listening on your

world via the iHeartRadio app. There are so many new
features on the app. It's free to download, so check

When you're listening to Kiss on the app, just tap

the preset button at the top. So I want to
go back to recently, we had Billy's two sons, Chris
and Dylan Costa on, both huge hockey fans, and we
put them to the test and who is the bigger
hockey fan when it came to not just hockey, but
the Four Nations game between America and Canada.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
Well, much like tonight, it's going to be a close matchup.
This was I think a close matchup. Good job, guys.
I wish we had a prize for you.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
All we have is humiliation. That's perfect. Yeah, Dylan, don't
be a soul loser.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Kiss one eight and we're back with Billy and Lisa
in the morning.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Thy good morning, everybody.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
It is justin here.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Welcome back to the show.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
So we talk about a lot of different topics on
the Billy and Lisa Show. One that comes up regularly
is parents behaving badly at sporting events.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Doesn't matter the sport.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
It can be hockey, it could be wrestling, it could
be basketball, it could be Irish step dancing. All I
know is we need to do better and stop embarrassing
our poor kids.

Speaker 12 (08:06):
It's so funny that you guys are talking about this
because my daughter's eighth grade basketball team just played in
the playoffs for the championship this weekend and I had
to have words with my father in law. And there's
a difference between being you know, competitive and disrespectful. And
that's all it comes down to. These are eighth grade

(08:28):
girls and everyone's trying and no one's going to the WNBA.

Speaker 13 (08:34):
Yeah, right, exactly.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
And she's right though, it's a difference between being competitive
and being disrespectful.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
That's exactly what I said, was.

Speaker 14 (08:40):
That man's proaly seventy five yelling at a bunch of
thirteen year olds.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah. Well, most of the time, it's the extended family. Yeah,
you know, it goes beyond the parent.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
It's like, you know, the aunt or uncle or like
in that case, the father in law.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
And yeah, yeah, all right, let's get to some fun
stuff here, why don't we.

Speaker 15 (08:57):
So my niece is a competitive Irish dancer. She's sixteen now,
but back when she was ten years old and in
the advanced beginner category, there was this intense.

Speaker 16 (09:10):
Mom who literally would go up.

Speaker 17 (09:11):
And stand behind the judges and my brother in law
had his phone out, wasn't reporting, but she literally went
up and reported him to disqualify my ten year old niece.

Speaker 13 (09:22):
Wacko.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Now that's that's excellent new level right there.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Competitive dance mom, Irish dance moms.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm always fascinated by that event.

Speaker 7 (09:33):
It's very big around here, very big, and it's grueling.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
It is gruely.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
I mean, I don't know how they do that, Well,
you can't move from the waistuff I've danced, yeah, and
the hands are like behind it yea.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
And there's a lot of.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Hit, very very athletic apparently.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
But I see, I wouldn't have guessed that the Irish
step dancing pa so much anger were mostly crazy Irish people.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yeah, but I mean, where are they going later?

Speaker 14 (09:59):
Fact there's not a is there a professional?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Continue to do it? Remember as an adult.

Speaker 14 (10:07):
The Celtic people, So they're all shooting for river dances?

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Well yeah, yeah.

Speaker 14 (10:16):
It's like shooting for the ballet if you're you know,
I can.

Speaker 9 (10:19):
Say I coached the Danvers High School varsity cheerleaders in
the early two thousands, and not only did some of
them get arrested for ou I not on my watch,
but also a few of them made a porn together
ended up in Salem District Court.

Speaker 11 (10:37):
They were kicked off the squad, and the parents.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
Basically acted like I was a monster for kicking them
off the squad.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
It was a nightmare.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Okay, hold on, there is a lunchtime network a movie.
Uh so the cheerleaders were doing porn videos.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I guess they made a porn video. That's what I
don't know that's true.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
And this was invers at the cheerleading squad.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah, that is a lifetime movie.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
These are change girls.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I'm sure it's a court case, so I'm sure if
you looked it up you could find it.

Speaker 18 (11:10):
Well.

Speaker 6 (11:10):
Plus a lot of times it's like mean girls meets
cheerleaders versus you know meets this and oh god, oh yeah.

Speaker 10 (11:17):
I came home one night to see canine cops, detectives,
police the works, and it turned out that there was
a soccer game earlier that day between kids and the
dads were fighting over a bad call, and one dad
came to the other dad's house and stabbed and they
had to look for the knife and look for the dad.

Speaker 16 (11:40):
Crazy.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Imagine that placed anger.

Speaker 7 (11:44):
Oh for god, lot more going on.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Is imagine the humiliation to the extended family.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
I never a soccer call. Yeah, what happened to me?
I'd never I'd never show up to the field again, never,
never again.

Speaker 17 (11:59):
I don't up on the cross team, and I saw
a player and a parent on the opposing team verfually
assaulting each other, and the player actually called the parent
a sex.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Offender in front of everyone.

Speaker 19 (12:15):
So that was fun.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, one more.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I mean, we have so many.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
God, we may have to do like a reprieve or something. Later.

Speaker 16 (12:57):
But a few years ago, my daughter was on a
select soccer team and her dad was swearing at children,
swearing at the officials, swearing at coaches. They had to
escort him out with a police officer and told he
could not come back to any of her games.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
So he's not he's not your he's not your husband
or anything. It's just her dad.

Speaker 16 (13:19):
Oh no, this was this was another parent. No, my
husband always walks away, so it was not near anybody.
He said, I don't mean to be antisocial, but I
like to talk and so if I'm by myself, I
can't get in trouble. So but this parent, yeah, swearing
at everybody. Wait, but you awful Tennessee. Currently, Yeah, how

Speaker 6 (14:44):
And By the way, another congratulations to Mel Robins. Our
iHeartRadio Podcast Awards were the other night and she was
named Best Podcast Hosts. So congratulations to Mel. And I
think she got it because she was in the book club.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
The book club bump.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
I don't know. I don't know at least. Are you nervous?

Speaker 7 (15:03):
I'm so nervous because Charotte, Well, actually, I have to
say I this book was so good that I have
so many notes in his book of things that I
want to talk to him about because I agree with
everything he says in the book, and a lot of
what he says in the book is in is in
alignment with what Mel Robbins is talking about, like letting

(15:23):
people be who they are, like let their actions speak
for themselves. He's really into self improvement, always working on himself.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
So I can't wait for our discussion.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, don't let others rent space in your head. Correct, Well,
I like that. Did that come right from him or
is that from you? I didn't make it up.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
I heard it before, but you know they're not paying
you for the rents, so don't let them take up
space in your head.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Is he married?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
He is, He's got four girls and he's very private.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, family is very private.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
He lives on an estate in New Jersey with lots
of land. Because remember I told you before, he's a
tree hugger. He literally as therapy and meditation. He hugs
trees in his backyard.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
I hug my tree yesterday. Yeah. What's his name? The tree? Charles? Charles.
We do a group This is a funny story.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Actually, Michelle and I will hug Charles every time we
walk out of the house. Every time we walk in
the house, Titus is usually with us. And as we're hugging,
Titus peas on Charles.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Do your neighbors see this? Like what a sight is?

Speaker 2 (16:24):
This is weird?

Speaker 7 (16:26):
Okay, now I'm glad that you're hugging trees because I
love tree.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
No, no, it's the only tree we hug I know.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
But and then the dogs.

Speaker 14 (16:33):
You're exclusive to Charles. You can't hug anybody else. That's
cheating if you hug another tree, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Jealous And that's why he's peeing on the tree.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
No, tituses the tree peas on it. No, he's jealous.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
So if you hug other trees, are you would you
be considered being in a polyamorous relationship.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I don't know, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
He's in a situationship, is that something?

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, yeah, you're in.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
A situationship with the tree.

Speaker 14 (16:58):
There's no defined, you know, relationship.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
We don't really know what's going on, but you're touching.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah. And Charles's trunk, so to speak, is so big.

Speaker 14 (17:10):
You're definitely a situationship.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
Then that entains Michelle and I and even the two
of us stretching out our arms can't get around the
entire trunt.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Charles has bde you know, he does baby owns the
neighborhood B.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
B D tree.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Maybe that's why none of the other trees. You're getting
attention the biggest thing in town.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
All right, Well, Lisa, good luck tonight. And no more
tickets on the private guest list. Huh not even if
they beg.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Beg me, get down on your knees and you beg me.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Now, not happening.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios.

Speaker 16 (17:48):
We're back with a Villy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Kiss, good morning.

Speaker 11 (17:53):
I have a question for the Villy and Lisa.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
True.

Speaker 11 (17:56):
So I'm moving Cartman tomorrow. I'm based in New York,
the very some more market to Boston. And I need
to know how much people are tipping their movers. The
last couple of times i've moved it, I've done anywhere
from eighty to one hundred per person. But in asking
friends recently, I've gotten such a arrange. Some people think
that's so high, But I need to know what are

(18:18):
people doing these days?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Wow, is there a formula for tipping movers? I've never
heard this one.

Speaker 7 (18:24):
Well today I looked it up and I said it's
fifteen to twenty percent of the total moving cost, depending
on the quality of the service, the difficulty of the move,
like how big it is, the distance of the travel.
But it does say typically each movers is tipped between
twenty dollars and fifty dollars.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
That makes sense to me, and it's obviously the quality
of the move. Yeah, you know, I had movers and
they couldn't get the couch out of the room that
it was all in. Their solution was to cut the
couch in half and then leave it on my front lawn.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Oh okay, if the couch went in it can come out.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Great point, exactly, great point. Well, there's more to the story.
My mother in law told one of the movers that
I worked on the radio. So one of the movers
one of his song played on the radio, Oh my god,
and I explained to him that that's called paola and
I can't do that.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
And then turns out that their payback was my poor coach.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
Well, it's hard to know because it's not like you
move a whole lot in the course of your life.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
And to me, you can't trip them enough because it's
a tough kid. I did moving. I did moving.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
Every time I drive by a moving crew, I'm like,
oh my god. They get up every morning and they're
lugging appliance and.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
Like a king size mattress up a really narrow staircase.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I still don't know how they do it.

Speaker 14 (19:33):
It's the best money you ever spent. And your friends
don't want to help you move, don't.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's your friend.

Speaker 14 (19:38):
No, Never, they don't, whether they're thirty, twenty five, forty five.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
P one wants to help you move for bar and pizza.
I can buy my own pizza.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
It's so true.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
A long time ago, maybe that worked, but not anymore.

Speaker 6 (19:50):
Now.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
This is a big thing in my circle because you know,
when people are just starting out, It's okay if you're
moving from a rooming house to an apartment, but once
you have a job in making a salary, don't ask
your friends to move.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Imagine, we don't want to ask.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
You to help and you get injured, you'll never be
that person's friend again.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
So true.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
If you pull an Achilles or something that, don't never
call me again, ever, even to say hello.

Speaker 14 (20:11):
You guys, remember that period of time where I moved
like seven times in two years. I had no money
back then, and I still found a way to hire
movers because I knew.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
No one was going to help me.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah, that's money you could ever spend.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
And plus you know, if you have a move again,
you want to use the same people you give a
good tip so they'll take care of your stuff.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
On the asking friends, I think you should have a
constant list on the refrigerator or of reasons you can't
help them move, so when they call, you're ready to
go with an answer, an excuse because there's no way
you want to help them.

Speaker 14 (20:43):
But backs the tipping thing, I do think being in
New York, if she's in like a five story walk up,
they deserve one hundred dollars a tip. If they have
an elevator, if they have easy access to getting in
and out, I would maybe do maybe fifty bucks. But
if they have to go up and down watch stairs,
I would give.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Them more like those old browns.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Yeah, we did a job in Cambridge, probably at a
house that Billy grew up in one of those triple
deck and we had to carry they had books and boxes.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Little books are heavy up the three three flights of
stairs to the top floor. You have a dollary or
something or a twoll we just will We just carried
them up.

Speaker 7 (21:16):
And that's the other thing, Like your friends aren't gonna
have the equipment needed to move all of this stuff
like washers and dryers.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Like and if you're asking your friends if movers can't
get certain things into a room, your friends aren't going
to be getting There are critical angles that you need
to know with couches and things like that. And there's
nothing more cumbersome than a mattress, Like there's.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
No way to grub it a couch with a sofa
bed that's the heaviest piece.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Of a back breaking.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah, so okay, with the tipping thing, I'm getting a
windshield replaced this week? Do I tip the windshield guy?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
You don't tip them?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Definitely? No, I think I think I do.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Never tip them.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
I've always given them twenty dollars guys.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes, well I think I have to after what Billy
did a few years ago. Remember that.

Speaker 6 (22:04):
Yeah, I'm going to the company party tonight and I'm
gonna get loaded.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Okay, I'm gonna start an embarrassing people. They windshield guy,
I'm going to far for you right here.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
So what do you think eighty to one hundred for
the windshield guy?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
You know what you do? You kind of slip it,
you cup it in your hand and you say, look,
have a lunch on me today. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
And you know what, me and Billy Billy at Lisa
every morning just went a wait.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Okay, we kicked off the topic. A couple of minutes ago.

Speaker 6 (22:33):
Somebody said to DM, I mean to talk back, and
we love our talkback mafia. We get so many ideas.
And by the way, justin remind people, how do they
do the talkback?

Speaker 4 (22:41):
Yeah, if you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, which you
can download, it's free, listen anywhere in the world. You
just tap the red microphone it's gonna prompt you and
you get thirty seconds to talk directly into the phone
and say whatever the hell you want.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
So our talkbacker was asking us for help because she
was moving and was wondering what are you supposed to
tip the moving crew? And we decided for topic time,
let's just talk about tipping in general. Exactly a lot
of people are still aggravated. Remember they were calling a
tipping gate or tip gate or whatever.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Let's go to Linda in Lynn. Good morning, Linda. What's
your story?

Speaker 19 (23:11):
Hi Billy, I'm actually from lynd Field, so oh.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Okay, Lynn Field a little bit of a difference.

Speaker 19 (23:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. So I opened a cafe,
a coffee shop in Lynn. Yeah, and I don't do tipping.
I don't do tipping. And people are shocked, but I
just say come back, come back, because like it's it's
so hard these days. You know, coffee is expensive enough,

(23:40):
so I figured I pay my employee really well so
we don't worry about tips.

Speaker 20 (23:46):
And do people leave tips anyway, yes, So I have
a little jar if they want to leave cash, and
you know a lot of them will say I don't
carry cash, and like, come back, just come back, yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
Yeah, a lot of places you can in they would
have a sign that says no tipping allowed.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I usually still tip, yeah, definitely. Yeah. I think they're
tempting me, like they want to see it.

Speaker 19 (24:08):
Yeah, it's nice to have it's nice to have them
make that choice.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, very true.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Okay, well, good luck with the cafe.

Speaker 19 (24:17):
It's not that awkward, sre.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
What's the name of your cafe?

Speaker 16 (24:21):
A cafe?

Speaker 3 (24:23):
What is it?

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Item?

Speaker 16 (24:25):
Cafe?

Speaker 19 (24:26):
Item in the old Lynn item building.

Speaker 6 (24:29):
Oh there you go. Okay, well, thank you for the calling.
Good luck with the cafe. Let's go to Chris, who's
in Boston. Chris, what's your tipping story?

Speaker 18 (24:36):
Hey, hey guys, So I'm definitely a like twenty percent
tipper across the board unless it's terrible service. I don't
understand know why it's like come become customary for typically,
like if you get takeout, the whole idea is you're
getting takeout and you're saving money by not eating there.

Speaker 8 (24:55):
And now, like with takeout, they're expecting a tip. Oh yeah,
and I know kind of with COVID, like you know,
you're tipping the people because people aren't eating at the restaurant.
But now we're back in the restaurants, Like, why are
we expected to tip take out people now?

Speaker 18 (25:13):
Like, what's up with that? Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 8 (25:16):
I am.

Speaker 7 (25:18):
I am like confused too about that, Like I never
know what to do. I always end up tipping just
because I want to do the right thing. But can
someone explain what the right thing is?

Speaker 6 (25:29):
Well, he's right, Chris is right because during the pandemic,
people felt bad because, you know, the restaurants were so slow,
so people were tipping for takeout.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I mean I always tipped the takeout.

Speaker 21 (25:38):
I do too, but it seems like I do, yeah,
but I always wonder does that money go to just
just the when he actually cleared this up, to go
to the girl at the front desk, or to the
cooks right cook the food, because.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
I would want it to go to them too.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
If you're going to take out, like a meal, a
dinner or something for takeout, I think you I would
rather be able to tip the chef with the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Well they had that kitchen.

Speaker 14 (26:00):
You know surch charge now that you can opt in
or out of some restaurants, But I mean, it's.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Just but it typically goes to the person who bagged
the order.

Speaker 14 (26:09):
The chefs ninety percent of the time are not getting
any tips. Wow, unless it's one of those things where
it tells you there's a kitchen surcharge. A tip for
the takeout person as a person that physically wrapped your
food up and you bought, you got it from them
when you got.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Into the store. The tip for the server is going
to m me. They're tip. They're tipping out the bus
boy in the bar.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
Watch. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
Let's go to our friend Jamie from We Love Tante.
Oh right now, boy, they're so good Jamie, good morning,
what is it?

Speaker 13 (26:37):
Good morning? I was going to bring up lift drivers,
but I can also explain this tip thing.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh good, okay, work go ahead.

Speaker 13 (26:46):
So most most restaurants in Boston take a tip credit,
which means the servers and team get paid a little
less because they get tips, which is why all those
tips go to the servers. But I can tell you
everybody that's doing your tape out work is doing a
ton of work as well, so I would say they
do deserve a tip. But I was going to bring
up lift drivers. They make like thirty percent of the

(27:09):
money you pay when you take an uber or lift.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, hey, Jamie, Jamie.

Speaker 7 (27:14):
For takeout orders, should you be tipping twenty percent or
twenty five percent?

Speaker 13 (27:20):
Twenty percent I mean twenty percent standard in the restaurant?

Speaker 6 (27:23):
It okay, okay, Well, typically, Jamie, what is it that
the the takeout people are doing. So they're first of all,
they're taking the order, and then they're sending it into
the kitchen, and then when the food comes out, they've
got to pack it up and pack it up right right.

Speaker 17 (27:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (27:37):
And generally you have to imagine there's you know, twenty
orders going out all at the same time. So they're
dealing with the des when they show up. They're dealing
with the customers when they show up. Anything that's wrong,
they're troubleshooting that. They're making sure you get everything, all
of it. I mean, it's the same thing as an
expo inside a.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
Restaurant, and they're representing your restaurant. I mean, they're the
first people you communicate with when you walk in.

Speaker 13 (28:00):
Yeah, and they are also the people that if something's wrong,
you're gonna call them. They have to deal with us.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
There you go, we're good one, Jamie, Jamie say to
everybody at tattoo.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
So that's good. So we answered the question. It's it's
a big deal.

Speaker 7 (28:10):
So you should be tipping your takeout person every time,
every single time.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Twenty percent.

Speaker 14 (28:16):
I think you can do fifteen in my opinion, I
think because they do make most of them do make
at least um wage, which share is.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Fifteen dollars an hour. But just so saying in New Hampshire,
which is criminals seven dollars an hour minimum wage?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, seven seven bucks an hour.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
Oh wow, Yeah, I feel that I need to talk
about that more. And Salem, New Hampshire, it's seven dollars
an hour ten minutes away. In Mithilin or Haveril or something,
it's like fifteen an hour.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
How do they have anyone that works there?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
I know I was out of a smo going to
say where, But I was at a store over the
weekend and they said, yeah, we can't keep staff because
why I only pay seven dollars.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
I think it's seven to seventy five or something like that.
But if you.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Own a restaurant or something or a business, you can
pay more than that.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yes, you can pay whatever you want.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
Yeah, okay, let's go to Kelly. Well we're going in
New Hampshire. Let's go to Kelly and Nashawood.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Kelly, good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 16 (29:04):
Yeah, I just had a quick story. Do you guys
know what.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
The tip to bill challenge is?

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yes, when you tip the whole bill?

Speaker 12 (29:10):
Yes, yes, you piped one hundred percent of the bill.
It happened to me three times.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
In one night.

Speaker 16 (29:16):
Ooh and.

Speaker 15 (29:19):
I know and I ended up making over five hundred
dollars three tables.

Speaker 2 (29:23):
That's ez.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
We're going to explain this is the whole bell, so all.

Speaker 14 (29:26):
Means it's the bills one hundred dollars. You tip the
severn one hundred dollars, so it's tip the bill. So
if the bill is fifty five dollars, you get them
fifty five dollars in a tip.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Right, you're just matching their bill.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Exactly and fab and three times during one night.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
That's incredible, easing. Wow, it was crazy and I was
so thankful.

Speaker 16 (29:43):
Yeah, I cried.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
How do you know what's happening?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
You don't until after it happens. Someone just comes in.
They're like, oh, I'm gonna be nice and tip her
the whole bill.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
She was great.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I'm going to give her fifty dollars because I just
think she was awesome. Oh okay, and then she'll see
it when they leave when she gets.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
You can do okay, I think I'm going to do
that tonight.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
You can tip that. I have a bill for you
that you could tip.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Or you guys, have you guys seen that one thousand
dollars breakfast club?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Have you seen that?

Speaker 11 (30:06):
You know?

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Remember? Oh, would they wander around at different reastaurants? You
know it was a part of that. Our friend Jeff,
Jeff Paris. Oh, really, he's one of the breakfast club members.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, they go out and they give the huge tip
to the you know, deserving servers at random breakfast places.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
But where are they getting the money to leave these
huge tips?

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (30:23):
They just you know, their own money. So they'll go
out a bunch of them and they'll leave like a
two thousand dollars tip. They'll pull their money together. Jeff's
doing okay.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Really, it's really well, that's at the point.

Speaker 14 (30:32):
The thing is they can go to a McDonald's or
you know, a diner and their food could be twenty bucks,
but everyone puts in one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Wow, they're good for them. Yeah, you should do more
of that bill. I do enough oh you.

Speaker 22 (30:44):
Do good lining. So, since we're talking about tipping, wasn't
Billy the one that took his own tip out of
HR and then like dramatically placed it back in so
the person could see the amount of money that he
was given. How's a story, that's.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Okay, need once and for all. Okay, it was a holiday, Okay,
it was an extraordinary tip. I was doing a good thing.
It was an extraordinary tip.

Speaker 6 (31:15):
It wasn't twenty percent, it wasn't even thirty or forty
or fifty game. So I wanted them to know, real
happy holidays.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Giving is giving without.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Receive, not in that circumstance.

Speaker 6 (31:27):
And that circumstance was what the guy next to me,
who's not even going to put a tip, They're going
to give him.

Speaker 16 (31:32):
Credit for it.

Speaker 14 (31:33):
But you know what, the guy next you probably paid
full price and you probably got a deal from the
restaurant I did.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
It was a dunkin donut? What deal am I getting?
He's he's our own George Costan, I always take care.
Here's a little something, stay in my money.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Hold no, no, you don't understand.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
I wasn't trying to take it out.

Speaker 11 (31:50):
I know

Speaker 6 (31:52):
There, don't come back here again, has it know that
