you walked in the studio that you missed me. Okay,
it brought up.
Speaker 12 (04:06):
It brought up some emotions because I've been coming here
for well, not to hear, but for thirty years. We've
been involved, and it was something I always looked forward
to once a year or so, but I haven't been
I may have called in when my when my book
was coming out. Yeah yeah, I haven't seen you in person.
So I definitely missed you. And I'm always grateful for
(04:26):
the for the kickstart you gave to my career. In
nineteen nineteen ninety six, I think I did a live
remote at a Jordan's furniture.

Oh my god, that's right. Yeah. We used to do
a lot of live shows and you did a couple
of them. Yeah, it was really fun. Wow out of
high school. Yeah, and it was.

So thank you, Billy, and thank you for reaching out.
It was great to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
You were a big basketball star at if I was
a star.
Speaker 12 (05:01):
I love basketball. I'm obsessed with basketball and the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, and you post on Instagram a lot. You're always
at a playground, I think in New York.
Speaker 11 (05:11):
Right.
Speaker 12 (05:11):
I live in Harlem where there are literally eight courts
within three blocks of my apartment, So I play almost
every day, and a lot of times I'm by myself
because it's during the.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You're always by yourself. Is that because nobody else will
play with you? Or you that kid that, no, I
don't want to play with us.
Speaker 12 (05:28):
Mostly it's because the hours I play, all the kids
are at school and all the adults are working, so
I work nights.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Now, when you post yourself playing basketball alone in New York,
when you make those shots, yeah, are those digitally ended?
Speaker 13 (05:44):
It?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I know, did you actually make those shots? It's actually
sadder than that.
Speaker 12 (05:48):
I play for like two and a half hours every day,
so I've actually gotten pretty good at making making shots
from from long range.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You play two and a half hours a day frequently, Yeah,
that's right. You've got the whole day, got the whole
day off. Yeah, And it's great exercise.
Speaker 12 (06:03):
And I do have some some comedian friends who will
play with me occasionally, but sometimes they're they're away, so
I just make these these videos of me making jo.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I don't picture many comedians being good at basketball. Some
of them are like Adam Sandler is is pretty good.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
At basketball, and they played with him.
Speaker 12 (06:21):
No, but I've played with this guy who's a producer
named Joseph Vessi whose father was a big basketball writer
and named Peter Vessi.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
But anyhow, he was on the End.
Speaker 12 (06:33):
One tour and he's like the best comedian basketball player
I've ever played with. Kevin Hart is also No. So
you people who associate with U superstars? I, yeah, who's
your most famous friend?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
My most famous friend probably Jed Appatow. You're good friends
with Jed Appeto. Yeah, I was hoping, said Jay Schumer,
maybe is probab more fans.

It's on Hulu with Michael Sarah and it's a great show.

long hair.
Speaker 1 (07:16):

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Is Amy Schumer as funny in person? Yes, my word,
she's hilarious.

a very smart person.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
And you know what's funny, we're five minutes in. I
didn't even mention where and when your show is.
Speaker 12 (08:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's at the Schubert Theater on
Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, it's got to be sold out. Should we even
mention it?
Speaker 12 (08:13):
Yeah, I mention it because sometimes people can get tickets.
And also usually they released some tickets the day of
because I don't use all my cops.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh, have you used all your cops? Because Lisa, no, no.
Speaker 12 (08:26):
I would love to get you tickets, Lisa, if you
if you reach out through our my manager is best
at setting that up.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, and Justin has all the information.
Speaker 12 (08:35):
And good morning Justin. We've never met, but I'm a
I'm a I'm a friend of the show.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Ah. Yeah, well that's Justin. He's Yeah.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Remember every time Gary would come in, I would just
be in awe of his height because we were talking
about basketball. So if you don't know, Gary is extremely hard.
Six seven No, right.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Now, right now, I'm closer to six five.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
You're shrinking. Yeah, there was a time. The last time
I was measured, I came up at six y five.
Speaker 12 (09:02):
But when I was a freshman at Boston College, I
was six foot six.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Okay, did you play ball at BC? I played football
at Boston College. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:10):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yeah for Jack McNew Oh, I remember Jackman. I was
saying I gotta ask you. Okay, so you're a big
time basketball player. Is pretty high, right, I'll be the
highest score in the team or something pretty high. I
think that my senior year, I metal of the teams. Okay,
So there's this big sports scandal in the news right
now NBA, and I know the mafia have been following it. Yeah,
So did you ever shave points or something high?
Speaker 12 (09:36):
We got to see you, and I remember that's been
a scandal every ten years or so, there's a point
shaving scandal because men love to gamble and and recently
it's just become you can bet on every moment of
every sporting event, and and who would have thought that
would bring about troubles and crime.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's it's simy, Yeah.
Speaker 12 (09:57):
Almost instantly, you can just a tip of the iceberg.
And it's it's heartbreaking because it's just showing these men's lives.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Because I was thinking about it.
Speaker 12 (10:09):
They're millionaires, but they probably bet ridiculous amounts of money.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, and they get into debt and they'll.
Speaker 12 (10:14):
Do anything to get out, and it's just it's a Oh,
it's a bad disease to have.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
We were wondering this morning if it's going to spread
to the NFL, to Major League Baseball, I mean more else.
It's not going on there.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Yeah, of course in college where the profit margins are
even slimmer, and these kids get into trouble and oh
my gosh, it's going to get ugly. Well, I would
imagine unless they suppress it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
If they bust enough NBA players, you may get a call.
They bust enough in the Eastern Conference two and a
half hours a day, you've got to some sort of
a game. I'm also fifty five years old. It doesn't matter.
You've got the height. I'm very slow. You've got the height. Yeah,
I do have the height. How come to my knowledge,
(11:02):
I don't think you've done comics? Come home?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
No, I did.
Speaker 12 (11:06):
I did probably long two thousand and ten or twenty
eleven or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Why don't you come back? Oh?
Speaker 12 (11:12):
It just never seems to be coincide with me being
around here, Like if it was this weekend, I would
do it. But I live in I live in Harlem
in New York now, so it's a it's a little
bit more difficult to come back and forth, and so
but I'll do it eventually. I've gotta as I love
working with Robert Kelly of Bobby Kelly.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, he's one of my favorite, another local guys.
Speaker 12 (11:33):
We used to work at lat Familia Georgio's together on
Newberry Street.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
They had one in the North End.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
We had a giant portion.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
She had giant portions for three ninety five. We were
we were waiters. We were waiters during the war meetings
that night.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah. Yeah, for Jamie Georgio, who's like a name in
the club scene.
Speaker 12 (11:52):
I think if you remember, Jamie was like the most
handsome man I ever I ever intersected with.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But yeah, the Georgia memory.
Speaker 12 (12:00):
Georgio, I remember people from literally from kindergarten. My book
Misfit Growing Out Awkward in the eighties available in paperback now.
It was about my life and the way through kindergarten
through twelfth grade. And so I have this uncanny memory
for other other people throughout my life. I can't shake it.
(12:20):
It's a blessing and a curse.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Well, you you were a comedian for years, but then
at one point in your life you kind of backed away.
Speaker 12 (12:29):
That's a nice way to say. I went f and nuts. Yes, okay,
I didn't want to go there.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I was thinking of a nice way to say you
watched your flip in mind.
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Okay, yes, but the way you came back, Oh, I
was so proud of it, like a phoenix.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, I mean depress and no, I'm so grateful.
Speaker 12 (12:50):
I mean that was Judd Apatow and my friend Mike
Bonfiglio who put to get that show about this show
that I was touring about recovering from having been hospitalized
and electro convulsive therapy and just this dire situation that
lasted almost three years, but then the special I made.
It's ironic that I mean, and it's why I'm so
(13:10):
grateful for Judd Apatow for allowing me to monetize my
mental illness.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Not everybody gets to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But it's not just the monetizing. You and I talked
for a couple of seconds about this off the year.
It was really amazing to watch you come back. Yeah,
and you were able to take the stage and talk
openly about something that was very private.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I mean you wouldn't meet with the person in a
small room. Sure for therapy and such and everything else
you went through, but it was okay for you now, yeah,
to open up and it was tremendously successful.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
It was.
Speaker 12 (13:47):
And the thing was, when we were growing up, it
was something you kept to yourself, yes, and your family,
And then it was actually comedians Maria Bamford and Chris
Gethard were very open about it, and so I was.
I was standing on the shoulders of these these giants,
and I opened up. And so I had told nobody
I had gone to the hospital, and then I told
everybody with an HBO subscription, and it instead of making
(14:11):
me feel bad or being judgmental, I was embraced in
a way that I had never been embraced by my audience.
Is that that type of vulnerability is very is very
compelling to people, and it also makes them feel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So there's not literally not a day go by where
I don't hear from somebody who's told me that that
that that.
Speaker 12 (14:30):
Show helped them talk about it with their family or
with their with their loved ones.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
And Justina, they embraced them. They definitely did.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
I was once thrown out of on Gary Goldman's show
in Boston for heckling him, so but I do love him.
Speaker 14 (14:47):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
We didn't make that up. Okay, that's a listener, that's hardcore, right.
Do you remember I had a moment, and then the
choice was to blow that up, and.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
You know you welcome them back. Gary, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I don't regrete that for a moment she hackled me. Yeah,
of course, Wait a minute, now, I need to know
not over it. I don't know her name, but thank
you for the charge.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Name is Glorie Laurie. Okay?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Did she wasn't Jill? Who just want tickets to the
No no to the jingle ball? But did you throw
her out? Was it you? Or did you call security? Like?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
How did that?
Speaker 12 (15:21):
Of course somebody were in there would say, hey, could
you escort this woman? House had too, But geez, I
thought this was going to be a different vibe. Now
that the yeah, the Matt Siegel was was had moved,
it's clearly a different vibe.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Yeah, the gotcha moments are now audio clips. No, you're
missing the good part. She still follows you and loves you.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Yeah, even though you threw her out?
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah, physically.
Speaker 12 (15:48):
No, that's interesting as because my my sometimes I'll have
members of my audience who belonged to a more conservative
group of politicians, and I say, how do I get
people who are into this guy at my shows? And
my wife always says, that's how funny you are. That's
(16:08):
how funny that they can get past your politics and
embrace you and go back to zip tying immigrants.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Oh my god, Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Gary, I thought you were going to say zip tying
justin No good enough, Lisa.
Speaker 15 (16:26):
Now the entertainment update with a Billy cobstad On kiss Oneawa.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Okay World Series Game one tonight Dodgers and the Blue Jays.
Blue Jays first World Series appearance, by the way since
nineteen ninety three. Faruell Williams will perform on the field
before Game one tonight. Jonas Brothers will perform before Game
two tonight. Meantime, massive two year investigation into illegal sports betting,
(16:53):
fixing games, faking injuries, sharing inside information. Thirty people all
already arrested, including three former Celtics players. The scandal involving
the NBA and the mafia the FBI with this message.
My message to the defendants who've been rounded up today
is this your winning streak has ended, Your luck has
(17:17):
run out. Yeah, a lot of people are talking about it.
This is shack right here.
Speaker 11 (17:21):
I'm ashamed that that those guys will put their families
and their careers in Jeopardy like that. There's old saying
in the hood. All money ain't good money. So if
you're making nine million dollars and you're dealing a certain
things like how much, how much more do you need?
Especially especially if you know you get caught, you can
do jail time, lose your career, you know, put and put,
(17:44):
you know, put put a bad image on yourself or
your family or on the NBA. They dropped the ball.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
This thing about this for a second. Terry Rozier, right,
is accused of throwing a game in twenty twenty three
and they won two hundred thousand dollars. So he gave
inside information to his friends and a group of betters
that bet and took home two hundred thousand dollars, which
he got part of that money. He made twenty six
million dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
And still needed this.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
I don't know, life, It makes no sense. I mean,
Chauncey Billups made you know, four or five million dollars
a year. How much money is enough? I don't know. Crazy.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
I wonder if this is the tip of the iceberg.
Definitely there'll be more.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Arrests, definitely. Well, if you watch Terry Rosier's highlight reel.
This guy was throwing games for years.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
He showed me that I couldn't believe it. They were obvious.
He was literally throwing the ball right into the opponent.
Speaker 15 (18:36):
Barce.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
This FBI investigation has been going on for two years.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
They said, yeah, they picked up on Terry a couple
of years ago, and they kind of got it was paused. Yeah,
and then you know, picked it back up. Here's some
irony though, ready for this one. Chauncey Billups, who's the
head coach of the Portland Trailblazers, his final press conference
after the home open for the opener a couple of
days ago. So the night before he was arrested and
(19:00):
he was arrested for the poker game illegal poker games.
Here's a quote from his press conference. That pressure thing
is nothing to me.
Speaker 11 (19:06):
Man. I do the best I can and let the
chips fall. What they may? You know that about me?
Speaker 5 (19:11):
But now quick, yeah, well the chips fell, they may
They sure didn't they jouncy if they did?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Anyway, Okay, we'll move on from that. A lot of
stuff check out this weekend. The Bruce Springsteen movie Deliver
Me from Nowhere hits theaters this Weekend. Jeremy Allen White.
This time is Bruce Springsteen. Everybody talking about how much
Jeremy sounds like Bruce. You can be the judge. Here's Jeremy.
(19:39):
I did what, sir, I guess it's just a me. Okay,
there's Jeremy doing Bruce. It's amazing really, same thing with
Timothy Challomey.
Speaker 6 (19:55):
Right, same thing with Bob Dylan.
Speaker 14 (19:57):
Yep.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
You know that Bruce Springsteen was my first concert.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Really, what an amazing first concert at.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
The Garden with my mother when I was a young boy.
My mother is a huge, huge Bruce fan. Me too,
die hard Bruce fan. You know.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The first time Dookie and I saw Bruce it was
at the Harvard Square Theater in Cambridge and it was
a dollar fifty a ticket and he was the opening
act for Bonnie Rait.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And I've since seen probably nineteen Bruce shows. Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Well that's like our jingle ball, right, These artists that
are up and coming, they come and do our jingle balls,
our kiss concerts, and then they blow up. By the way,
sat in the way up in the nosebleeds for that
Springsteen show. And I was saying this to my son
the other day this summer. I brought it to his
first concert, Shine Down Garden, and we were right up
front there, ran up by the stage. I'm like lucky.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
You imagine that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, yeah, whenever I was in the front row, I
had to sneak in.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I wasn't buying front row seats at least a hot
Hartford go last.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Night you Yeah, Benedicts.
Speaker 9 (21:00):
He wrote The Dynasty, which was the Patriots Fly on
the Wall, you know, book and documentary series that we
all watched on Apple TV. He actually made a really
interesting comment about Tom Brady and we asked him about
the flag Football league that he is involved with, and
he thinks Jeff Benedict said, he thinks that Brady could
go back and play football today and be a top
(21:22):
ten quarterback.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
I believe it.
Speaker 9 (21:24):

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, that was kind of a surprise. Came out of nowhere, right, yep,
a little bit.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
And it was surprising to hear that an aneurism can
be caused by stress.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
They say mostly by stress, and they say close to
seven million people in the US have aneurysms walking around
with them and don't even know it.

From the planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios. We're
back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Hey guys, So welcome back. So basically Halloween is upon us.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
So yeah, I think a lot of the parties are starting.
My son has a party tomorrow night in our neighborhood.
Last night didn't go that well. We had Trunk re
treat in sanem Trunk of treat is when they have
like a parking lot. They have it at school sometimes,
you know, everyone brings their cars and they have these
elaborate displays out of their trunks and they give out candy.
(24:06):
So you walk around to each you know, trunk and
you trick your treat.
Speaker 6 (24:10):
It's easy to yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Or if that doesn't say, welcome to New Hampshire. Oh,
they have trunck tree everywhere every time. Everywhere has them.
But I only make the jokes to get a look
out of it, right.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
It's okay, Well, producer Riley lives. She's my neighbor in Hampshire,
but she was born and raised there anyway. So my daughter,
she's three, all excited to go, my son excited to go.
They have their costumes. My daughter is a witch and
my son is a squid game character. Okay, okay, So
my wife gets them both dressed up. They're all excited.
(24:42):
My son gets dressed up, mostly himself in his room.
She gets Gemma all dressed up as a witch. She
comes out of the room, looks at my son in
his mask the squid game costume. Over hysterical for an hour,
would not leave the house. She was so scared of
his costume. It was a complete scene. She was screaming
(25:02):
and yelling downstairs. Everyone's trying to like coddle her. It's okay,
I brought my son over how to take the mask off?
So how do you resolve it? Because Halloween is going
to go on for like a week or so. He
couldn't put the mask back on until we got to
the trunk retreat and then he was able to kind
of go off on his own. But that was insane.
And then the other thing that happened is, you know,
(25:22):
you bring your kids to this event, they're eating candy
the entire time.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Oh god, you all right?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
So then you get them home racing, bouncing off, whying,
high on sugar, just bouncing all over the walls, screaming
and yelling.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well, it's another holiday dedicated to candy.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Candy more week?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah we do.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Are you going to be handing out candy at your house?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Are you asking me?
Speaker 11 (25:47):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, we don't get trick or treat We don't either.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
You're on the main road, least main road, and we're
not on the sidewalk side.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah, what about you? Because you live in a condo building.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, we're in an old school house, so the building
is sity.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
We always had to bring the kids to our friends
that lived like in a neighborhood or on a cul
de sac.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Yeah, which is easy.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, I live on one of those, so it's nice.
But I used to live on a main road too.
It's not as fun.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, it is nice. And by the way, if if
you're listening and you happen to live in my building,
don't feel the need to walk down the hall and
knock on the door and say trick or treat.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Okay, okay a Halloween.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I'm hosting the biggest Halloween by the way, if you
still want to go, there might be a few tickets.
Typically it sells out every year at say them Waterfront Hotel,
but you may want to go to the website Salemafront
Hotel dot com. It'll be a blast tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Big weekend.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
I am super excited.
Speaker 13 (26:40):
My moorcycle club is having their annual Halloween party.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's always a blast. Cannot wait.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Oh yeah, there we go. I love her. She's in
a motorcycle club.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That nothing cooler.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
That is cool. That is cool.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
A lot of people will probably dress up as a
motorcycle person.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
Ooh, like like Sons of Anarchy. That's a good one
for you, because you're a big fan of the show.
I love Sons of anark. Both my kids are named
from Sons of Anarchy. What yeah, well, Gemma is from
Sons of Anarchy. My son is Able, named after the weekend,
but there also was the child's name was Able and
Sons of Anarchy.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
So why don't you dress as a biker guy with
a leather jacket with all kinds of tats. Yeah, and
drive a while round on your full wheeler. I would,
but I only dress in leather for my wife, you know,
and wear a showtime Billy Lisa kiss justin. Let's get
some talk back leftovers.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
Hey, morning crew, It's Mo from Salem, New Hampshire. I
wanted to wish my son Tommy a happy tenth birthday today.
We love you so much, buddy, and he loves you guys,
So if you could wish of a happy birthday, that
would be awesome.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
Have a great weekend, Billy, wish Tommy a happy birthday.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Tommy, all dressed up, all growing up and doing it.
Speaker 14 (27:55):
Come in, Hey, Billy, all right, happy birthday, buddy.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
You know, earlier we were talking about leaves you know,
blowing leaves. I'm going home to blow leaves today. And
if you remember, last year, we did a whole kind
of discussion on this and about if you should leave
the leaves. Remember that, don't blow them. It's good for
the grass.
Speaker 13 (28:21):
Speaking of leaf clean up, last fall, you guys talked
about the idea of what happens if you've left leaves
on part of your lawn to cover over the winter.
Last fall, that's what I did. I took a part
of my yard and I just covered it with leaves,
took all the leaves off in April, and this spring
and summer I had beautiful grass growing. So it was
(28:41):
a great idea.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, it's real. I mean, the leaves, believe it or not,
feed nutrients into the grass and the soil.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
So the blanket, the three inch blanket of leaves that's
on my front lawn, leave and leave them, leave it.
That's good for the grass and maintains moisture.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
It just looks nice.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
It does look nice.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
It is messy, but you want green grass or brown grass.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I did hear that it's good for the mulch beds
to leave a little bit of you know, leaves in there.
But for the grass. I don't know. You should see
my yard. It's it's covered in leaves.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
I have so many leaves and they won't be gone
until mid December.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Like our trees are very late.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
And you do have a lot of trees.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Yeah, but they lose their leaves late.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
Yeah, maybe they're pregnant. Well, I'll be out there today.
Off you go, blowing away. I brought the high powered
one too, the one that landscapers use because it makes
it much easier. You know, you know, Happy Friday.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
It's the mayor of the South Bed.
Speaker 8 (29:42):
It's wonderful to hear you guys and your wonderful laughter.
I have two good things this weekend. The Boston Book
Festival is going on at Coffee Square and also the
Chowdafest is going on on Downtown Crossing, So read a
book and have some chow. And also it's Drake's birthday.
(30:03):
As Billy Costa would say, it's Drake, bi who have
great weekend.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
It's call me Drake, mister mayor, call me Drake digit
and by the way, for the general listening audience, it
is mister mayor.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
I love how the mayor of South End is literally
a co host in the show, like we hear her
every single day, and when we don't, it's kind of weird.
So yeah, she has her like own little segment, which
is awesome with all of these antidotes and just funny
as hell.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Stop it.
Speaker 6 (30:39):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
The mayor is a man.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, it's a guy.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Yeah, he is a very gay man who calls himself
the mayor of the South End.
Speaker 12 (30:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
I've met him twice now.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
He came to my book club and then he came
to The Era's tour album listening party at the Liberty.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
I've yet to meet him. It'll be a moment when
we meet.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I met him at the Boston Public Library. Oh yeah, yeah,
you cutie, I remember that.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
What do you suppose he's dressing up as well? It's
a good question. I'm sure we'll hear about it next week.
He's probably holding off until next week to let us know,
So maybe he'll be Sabrina.
Speaker 13 (31:13):
I'm working late because I'm a singer.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Kids run Away.
Speaker 15 (31:18):
It's the morning wrap up on Billy and Lisa in
the Morning.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Yeah, kind of a crazy morning. I mean yesterday, at
the end of the show, we kind of broke the
story about this big FBI takedown of some NBA players
and coaches and the mafia. We really didn't know what
it was, but then yesterday it exploded. I mean, this
story is everywhere and maybe just beginning, so we'll continue
to cover it. But we got our guy Levin Reed
from WBZ TV on this morning to kind of break
(31:45):
it all down. What's it all mean?
Speaker 16 (31:46):
Maybe we all thought, well, they started legalized gambling and
better that something like this would happen, but nobody knew
that it would be so wide ranging, or maybe they
didn't know and we were just naive to it. But
this was crazy yesterday.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Yeah, it really was, I mean, and right on the
morning after opening night for the NBA.
Speaker 12 (32:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, just an insane, insane story. I'm sure much more
is going to come out on that. Also this morning,
something happened for the first time I think ever on
this show. I know, correct me if I'm wrong that
one time a woman gave birth what was in labor
on live on this program.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I think from her car from her car. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
Yeah, But for the first time ever, our jingle Ball
winner got pulled over in the midst of trying to
win the tickets. Her name is Holly.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
We've got collar twenty five in the phone. Never hit
your brakes and you went through it. Holly, Hi, everybody,
she getting pulled over, getting pulled over right now by
a police officer because I'm so excited to be on
this is awesome.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
I went through a yellow light. I was just so excited.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
Okay, yeah, she was too excited. So she did get
a warning. Yeah, which is good for her. She lucked
out and she won the jingle Ball tickets and she'll
qualify for one hundred and eight thousand dollars in the
