Billy and Lisa in the morning. It's just a great
start to.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
My day on Kids run Away.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
Good morning, it's the Mayor of the South Then it's
going to be another eighty degree days. So I'm going
to deem today National call in sick today, and I
think we should all meet at Lisa's pool because today
it's National Taco Day. So I'll bring the tacos and
Mikey B and Justin put on those speedos.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Tuesdays are for tacos.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
I did not know it was National Taco Day. But
thank you to the Mayor of the South End. Wow.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
I like that idea. You guys can all come to
the pool and hang out.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Well, I'm not wearing a speed out no way. If
you ask, If you ask, I will. I'm just kidding. Anyway,
Good morning, everybody, Welcome to the Billy and Lisa Show.
Justin here, Lisa, Winnie and Mikey V once again stepping
in for Bill Costa, who is in Africa. He will
be checking in at nine to ten this morning. I
did not talk to Bill yesterday after the show because
(01:03):
I updated my iPhone to the new iOS. You do that.
It's crazy. It's a lot different. Yeah, you guys done
it yet, I haven't done it. It's actually really really cool.
It looks a lot different. There's a lot of different features.
But one of the new updates on the iOS is
that you can basically do screen call screen calls, so
anybody that calls you, it will basically answer and say, hey,
(01:27):
what do you want to talk about? And then it
sends you a message on what they say before the
call can come to you. Right, yeah, so I set
that up, so all I got was a bunch of
messages from a random number of billy going, yeah, it's billy. Yeah,
it's billy calling. It's billy, like all mad.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
You know this update sounds really annoying.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well, you don't have to do the screen call feature.
I just did because I want to be annoying.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's so annoying though, Like what do you want to
talk about? So then I can decide what I want
to talk to you about or if I want to
talk to you.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah, that's so annoying.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Back in the day that was called a voicemail. Yeah,
like they're just reimaging the wheel here.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Well, it's also because of all the you know, spam
calls that we get. True, that's what it's for, and
it did. It did block a couple of those calls yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That's good because I get so many. I literally did
it last night.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
So this is my first, like, you know, a few hours,
you know, a week with it, and it's definitely looks
the face of it looks so different like your text messages,
your Apple car play looks different.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah. So so yeah, I mean that's that. We'll check
in with Bill hopefully at nine to ten on how
Africa is doing.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
So last night I was at home waiting for the
book Club stream to start at seven o'clock and watch
Lisa with Patricia corn. Well, we'll break that down at
six forty this morning, and I turned down ABC World
News Tonight with David Mihra. I like to catch up
on world news, you know, things happening around the world. Tonight.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
Is Safari taking a frightening turn when an elephant goes
on the attack.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Now like a video.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
The group of tourists from the US and UK look
at this recording the encounter as the elephant charges at
their canoes in those shallow waters in Botswana, flipping over
the boats. The guides and their riders escaping the elephant,
eventually eventually backing off.
Speaker 10 (03:09):
Oh my god, what if Bill's Connie for help and
you might even let help him.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I know the screen call saved his life. That's in Botswana,
which is not where he is. He's in Zimbabwe. I
had producer Riley do a map check. They're kind of
near each other, though.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Do you see Billy in a canoe?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
See Billy on a safari? Just not so much so.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He's kind of whipped at this point.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
He really is.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Yeah, whatever a show wants to do, which I appreciate.
I love a man that does what I want to do,
but like this whole trip and like anything she wants
to do on the safari he's doing.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
But you know he's crying. He's probably getting super emotional
there with the elephants in the giraffes, right, Lisa.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah, he loves anam.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
He's a big softy.
Speaker 11 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
So we'll check in with him at nine ten From.
Speaker 12 (03:55):
The Planet Fitness Kiss One Await Studios, we're back with
the Villy and Lisa.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
In the morning.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Good morning, everybody, welcome back to the show. It's a Tuesday,
October seventh, and yes you are listening to the Billy
and Lisa's show Billy Costa in Africa. We got mikey
V sitting in with us, the usual crew, myself, Lisa
and Winnie and Lisa had her book club last night,
Patricia Cornwell. This was a big one.
Speaker 13 (04:17):
Good morning, lovely morning crew. It's book club. Marsha checking
in on a Tuesday morning after Lisa's book club. Another
great event. Patricia was so engaging and she had so
many great stories, such a good storyteller. It was nice
to catch up with some oji book club members and
my sister and lam my niece were able to come
and we all had a wonderful time. So thanks again
(04:38):
for all your hard work and putting these together.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Yeah, so Patricia Cornwell was new to the book club.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
We had a lot of new book club members there
too at the review, which was amazing. So Patricia Cornwell,
if you don't know who she is, she lives in
the Boston area. She has sold over one hundred and
twenty million books. Her new book, Sharp Force, is out today.
Actually got the book before it officially came out yesterday,
and she.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Did my book now.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Her series is based on k Scarpetta, So shows like
CSI and Bones basically got their start because of Patricia Cornwell,
because she started writing these books in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You're burying the lead though. Lise Lisa got her Mikey
and Winnie before GMA this morning.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Before she boarded a flight for New York. She did
my book Club all right, So we broke it down.
So Amazon is coming out with the K. K. Scarpettas series,
So I asked her sort of how did this all
come about?
Speaker 14 (05:34):
She said, but what's Scarpetta doing? And I said not much.
And Jamie's production company knew they're the Halloween people and
I said, well, you know that kind of fits well.
So she championed it, and because of who she is,
she attracted other huge talent like Nicole Kidman, who basically said,
(05:57):
but you have to play my sister. She said to James,
Jamie wasn't planning on being in it. She also wasn't
planning on being the producer. But I told her that
I wanted that too, and so but she she brought
this whole thing to life.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, so she is Jamie Lee Curtis, who is having
a moment right now. Yeah, She's just been in everything
she was in the last show Girl recently, and yeah,
so she's executive producing the project. She's also starring in
it with Nicole Kidman. I also asked her what Nicole
brings to the character of Case Scarpetta.
Speaker 14 (06:30):
Garpetta's personality is probably a lot more like Nicole Kidman's
than mine. You know, I talk a lot, I think
in five hundred page increments, and Nicole is very quiet,
and she watches and she listens. She's very you asked earlier. Yes,
she's very intense, but in a quiet way, but intense.
(06:50):
And she's the opposite of Jamie. Jamie's very intense, but
she's has more of a volume in her intensity, shall
we say.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I also asked her when we're going to be able
to see this on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 14 (07:03):
The hope is it will be probably I'm not allowed
to say exactly what the date is, but it will
be early, like early early spring.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Good. I can't wait for this.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Hold on Lisse. So when she was talking about Nicole Kidman,
were you thinking hot? Love to ask which are her
thoughts on Keith Arabin.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I would love to have asked her that, but it
was so inappropriate. But she did spend a lot of
time on set, and she does have a cameo speaking
role in the series.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So she's obviously met Keith and.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh, she's spent a lot of time. They filmed the
whole series in Nashville, and it's a two part series.
So Amazon has bought two seasons so far, and she
wants them to do more. And then I asked her,
there's no clip of this, but what books, because there's
so many Scarpetta books. So it's based on two different books.
So they go through Scarpetta as a young girl, and
(07:52):
then they go through Scarpetta as the medical examiner. She's
also coming out with a new project and she give
us the scoop on that.
Speaker 14 (08:01):
I never planned to do this, but when I finished
the scarpetit that you have right now. I had been
working with a producer about possibly a television series based
on my life or whatever, and as I looked at
it early rendering, I realized that nobody knows anything about
my life, So how the heck are they going to
do something like this, even if it should be done.
(08:22):
So I said, you know, I'll just start writing up
a little treatment, you know, with some little facts about myself.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, next thing you know, I was right in the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, she wrote the whole memoir. It's coming out in May,
and she'll be back doing My book Club when that
comes out too.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah. I read one of the Scarpet of books a
long time ago. I don't really remember it, but it
had to have been like when did it start?
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It was a nineteen ninety post mortem kid out.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
That was I read one of the books. So she's
been around a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Oh yeah, And she worked in a medical examiner's office
in Virginia for six years because she was so fascinated
by their job and what they do and how they investigate,
you know, suspicious deaths and stuff that.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
So she's just amazing. Bobby Carnival, you know, the actor.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He's one of my favorite act He's going to be
in the series two as her sort of you know,
medical examiner, police chief kind of partner.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah. Boardwalk Empire one of the greatest shows of all time.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, he was in Nine Perfect Strangers with Nicole Kidman.
He was in The Watchers with Naomi Watts. So yeah,
it's a really like stacked cast.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
So how do you get Patricia Cornwell, Like, how do
you get these authors of this caliber.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I've been wanting to have her for three years, so
I just sort of figured out through contacts how to
reach her people and reach her assistant and her publisher,
and that's how it happened.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
So what's next?
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:41):

Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's gone really weird, really quick.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I want to go. Okay, all right, from one sold
out show to the to another. That would be our
jingle Ball presented by Capitol One, starring Ed Shearing, completely
sold out, just like Lisa's book Club. The only way
in is to win. And we have a pair of
tickets right now for caller twenty five. Give us a
call six one, seven, nine, three, one, one eight. I'll
(12:41):
take a key phrase and the key phrase will be
window watcher.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy constap.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
All right, so yes, I am in for Billy because
he is in Africa right now. And we had Taylor
Swift on Jimmy Fallon last night and they played a
really fun game. He asked her five rumors and then
she had to go through and tell us which ones
were true and not true. So the big one was basically,
did ed Sheeran find out about her engagement on social?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Did you get to save the date for the wedding?
How did you find out about the engagement Instagram? Instagram?
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Yeah, like everyone else, you didn't even get a DM
in advance.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
No, yeah, we had that a couple of weeks ago
and Andy Cohen, So that's how he said he found out. Yeah,
And then Taylor revealed, whether that's true or false.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
He doesn't have a phone. It doesn't have a phone.
Any writ a whole album about an old phone that
he had.
Speaker 17 (13:37):
Or something, but he doesn't have one that works.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
It's true, that is true.
Speaker 17 (13:41):
So he doesn't have a phone. And this is like
one thing I love about him. It's very eccentric love it.
But when I'm going through being like, hey, like you know,
hey people, so should we FaceTime? I'm going through my
text and being like, who have I texted within.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
The last like months of my life? And he just
wasn't there. Because you have to like you have to
wear and you get a hold of him the bats
to email him.
Speaker 17 (14:08):
And then you want to set a FaceTime.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He has to find an iPad and they have to
give it to.
Speaker 17 (14:13):
Him like he's a child that give.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
The iPad two yes, and he walks episode of Blue
and then this is one of.
Speaker 17 (14:20):
My absolute favorite people on the planet. And I know,
and then when the news came out, I was like,
oh my god, we forgot to call ed.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
That's amazing. That is actually true.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
No phone. I wasn't even get on Instagram.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
He does have an iPad, so he walks around with
an iPad, which obviously essentially if you Internet is a phone.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But yeah, so he doesn't have like a phone number.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
It is funny that he does have a song on
the new album called Old Phone Sad, which is funny
because you know he has an old phone but not
a new phone. How did you feel he had no phone?
I might feel great.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I would. I actually feel like it would be nice
to de compress. I'm always checking my phone. You know,
they tell you how much you picked your phone up.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I picked my phone probably a thousand times today, and
I'm not even exaggerating.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
You all did, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
So moving on, Another rumor that was swirling around was
that during a wedding speech for Selena Gomez, Taylor talked
all about how Selena beat her down the aisle.
Speaker 17 (15:19):
I got to see her be the most elegant, gorgeous,
not not only bride, but just vision that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 17 (15:25):
I've never seen anything so beautiful as her on her
wedding day.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I love and she deserves all of this happiness. Benny
is he is the best. He is so funny.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
He's the best.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's the best.
Speaker 17 (15:38):
So I did make a speech, but I actually made
a point not to mention anything about my engagement. Nobody
wants you to be like, hey, I know, this is
your wedding day.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
But at one point was like, should I hide my ring?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
You know?
Speaker 6 (15:54):
And I totally agree with her that she didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And then there was another rumor that Travis was singing
on opal light like he was in the background.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
She said no to that, She said no, I didn't
pull it just she just said no.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Yeah, and then she also yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
And she also said that she's never watched a walked
a strange dog in Florida.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
In Florida.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
That was the other other, like.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
She's never actually walked a dog at all.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yeah. And there's another part of the found interview last
night where she goes through her songs and kind of
explains them, like Life of a Showgirl some other ones,
and she talked about wood and the kind of you know,
the dirty meaning behind it.
Speaker 17 (16:29):
I brought this into the studio and I was like,
I want to do sort of like a I want
to like do a throwback.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Kind of timeless sounding song.
Speaker 17 (16:37):
And I have this idea about like I got to
knock on wood and we would knock on wood and
it would be all these superstitions. And it really started
out in a very innocent place, you know. It started
out like I don't know what happened, man.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I went off the rail.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I got in there.
Speaker 17 (16:58):
We started vibing and I don't know, I don't know,
but I love the songs.
Speaker 16 (17:07):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Tailor.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
It's great. It's so catchy.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
All right, So moving on, Matt Damon was in Boston
last night and he was in town at the Boston
Harbor Hotel. He was with Mingsai, He was with Joe
and Chang and they were cooking to benefit Family Reach,
and he had this to say, I.
Speaker 18 (17:23):
Can't imagine with the level of fear and trauma that
kind of accompanies that journey, having to worry about all
that other stuff. So the work here is incredible and
wonderful and I'm really happy to support it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We actually I was invited to go to that last night,
but I could not because of the book club.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yeah, that was a billy cost the event I've ever
seen one, Ming Sai, Joyne Chang.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
It looked amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
It looked amazing.
Speaker 19 (17:47):
Good morning, justin everyone. My name is Katie and I'm
calling in because I worked the event last night with
Matt Damon and Mingsai that you mentioned on yesterday's show.
The event was to support Family Reach, which is the
only national nonprofit focus solely on helping people with cancer
access food, housing, utilities, and transportation. You can find out
more about us at Familyreach dot org. The event went
(18:09):
amazingly and Matt Damon was a dream to work with
and meet. Thanks, guys, I hope you have a great
day today.
Speaker 16 (18:14):
Bye.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Oh I'm glad we know more about family reach.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, thank you for that. We appreciate not a baby
screaming backcount. I like it.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
She's a working mom. We love that.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yes, And I wanted to mention that Matt Damon's dad
passed away from cancer eight years ago, so he's deeply connected.
His friend, his buddy, Ben Affleck, was busy at work.
He was on the Red Carpet with his axe j Low.
They have a new project. It's The Kiss of the
Spider Woman.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
It was obvious to me very early on Jennifer's involvement.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
In this that she was gonna die or be great.
You know, she just was going to give it her all.
As she did. She worked enormously hard.
Speaker 18 (18:51):
This role you get to see, like all of her
many gifts.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I liked that they were together on the Red carpet.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He executive produced it.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Yeah, that was a nice nice of him to give
her that project that she wanted so badly.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Well, I can't wait to see the movie.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You know you're gonna go see it.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I mean, I don't know if I'll go to the theater.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Yeah, I'll see it eventually. Yeah, I don't know. It
was nice for him to say nice things about her too.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
I wonder if it's anything like that movie she did

the right, because it's one. I think she sings in
this one too.

choked up about it, and they posted it on Instagram.

It was really cool.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, they hired him too. Yeah, he works with the room.
Wow he does.

True legend he's an operations advisor. Oh nice, But he
thought he was in trouble and many of them.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Day and Lisa all the morning on away Man.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
It's so funny, like every single weekend, you know, my
wife and I we have two small kids, and every weekend,
including this past weekend, the same thing happens. Usually on
Friday night or Saturday morning. We'll say to ourselves, hey,
maybe we should go out to dinner with the children,
and then it sounds like a good idea, and then
nine times out of ten we do not take them
(21:43):
out because they're young, and you know, we don't want
them to cause a scene, and it's really not fun
for us. And then I come in today and Lisa
stops telling me about this online viral story that everyone's
up in arms about. And what's that have to do
with screaming kids and restaurants.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Yeah, kids and restaurants.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
So there's a debate online over a man and telling
a woman who was out with her kid that she
needs to quiet her kid down in a restaurant, and
it went viral.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
So this gentleman here is telling me to tell my
eight months.
Speaker 15 (22:09):
Old to stop screaming, Oh my god, because he has
sensitive ears.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I know it's low, but he's an adult. He can leave,
and he chooses not to leave.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
He's choosing me to tell me to take my baby
off because he has.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
She's a child.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sir, it's not I didn't do anything.
Speaker 18 (22:27):
You're closing restaurants after our discussion.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
They don't want to keep that.
Speaker 14 (22:31):
They want to get fish.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You came to me about my child.
Speaker 14 (22:34):
Did you not.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You can't remove yourself from this restaurant.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
No, you're disrespectful, you're entitled, and you're being previous right now.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I'm maybe I'm probably mistreated.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Man, I'm a happy married woman.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
What are you talking about? Baby?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I'm teen years this week, so no one had mysterated me.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
You man, disrespect Okay, Oh, Mikey makes you want to
have kids. There's a lot going on there.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
I think the context of what kind of restaurant they
were at.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Okay, here's my thing, because I've had two kids, have
raised two kids, have taken them out to restaurants. You
when your kid is acting up like that and screaming,
as a parent, you should take your kid out of
the restaurant and calm them down. You take them out
of the restaurant. You have to be respectful of other
diners in the restaurant.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, it looked like fast casual I mean, like I
saw I saw the video and it looked I mean,
you might have had a server or it might have
been like you go to the counter and order.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, it wasn't like you know, a five stars. Yeah.
But my thing is it was weird that.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
He when she was like fighting with him, how he
brought up how men have mistreated you Like that wasn't
necessary that he assumed that she was mistreated woman like,
I don't know what that was about.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
That must have been prompted by something, though.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I mean again, right, if they were in some sort
of takeout situation and sitting down, that's a little different. Again,
if your kid's still screaming a lot, you do just
take them outside.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
That that's why we don't take the kids out. I
mean we do sometimes, but you know, not every weekend
for sure. And that's what we do. If my kids
are acting up, I just take them out of the restaurant.
But the other argument, which my wife says, and I
do agree with her, it's like we need to teach
them how to behave in public. If we keep removing them,
they'll never learn. They'll think that it's okay to act
like that. I'm doing that part of it too.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
All my friends have kids now, the ones that do
take their kids out and about more often, those kids
actually act better and with more respect because they have
more experience doing so well.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
That was my thing, is that we need to take
them to places so that they can get used to
how you have to act and eventually they figure it out.
We did use devices, you know, you know, would give
them either a coloring book or something to play with
or an iPad when we would take them out to restaurants,
just to make sure that you were covered. But I
(24:48):
have to say, my kids are older, they're teenagers. They
know how to act in restaurants. Yeah, they do.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
I thought for a second you were going to be
like they still.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Right, they kind of do.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Here's the other pet peeve of mine as a parent,
when you take your kids out they're younger and they
make a mess on the ground, whether it's popcorn crackers,
I think as a parent you should be responsible to
pick that up clean.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
For yes, before you leave, right.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
I agree with that, But I have left the mess
before I was so stressed out.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Oh my god, walk away as just leave an extra tip,
like if you have really missing.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
You're right, and you don't have time.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I have to say, as a as a parent
of young kids, I did reach down and try and
pick up as much as I could on my way
out the door with the screaming kids.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Arms right, and you know, beef up the tip a
little bit like when Yeah, exactly true. And as far
as the devices go, I know that's a hot topic
as well. Listen, we'll try to go out with no devices.
But you know, if my daughter is, you know, wiling
out to get restless their kids, right, I'll put a
phone in front of her and put Bluie on.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
I love Miss Rachel. All my friends who have kids.
Miss Rachel like changed the game. The kid gave me
screaming do whatever. Second, Miss Rachel's on, it's like a
whole different way. She's kind of grown out of it.
She's more into like kids YouTube, these little girls that
make these videos. But funny enough, Miss Rachel is on.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
We're gonna talk about this later on the show The
Top pop culture Hot Halloween Costumes. Miss Rachel is on there.
That's great one. Yeah, Miss Rachel least I am. Yeah,
he's kind of newer, but yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
You've heard after talking about her before.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so we'll put on Miss Rachel
in the restaurant because you know, we just want to eat.
The other thing is that when we get to the restaurant,
as soon as the server comes with the drink order,
we put the kids food in. Yeah yeah, absolutely right away,
and then we eat as fast as possible to get
out of there. Another hot just the way out. Yeah.
The spot we've been taking them to is the ninety nine.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Oh my god, I love the ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Ninety nine is the perfect spot for kids because it's
kind of dark, it's kind of loud, they're easy going,
and there's one in Salem, New.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Hampshire, so yeah, you can kind of just get lost
in there and no one's really going to say.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
And they still have the like the old school, like
yes they damn like in your own little area, you're
not like.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
In the public. It feelds if it's like separated.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
I took my nieces there on Sunday and they and
they also provide the coloring book are the coloring you
know menu, which is great if you don't have like
an iPad with you, so that like helps entertain them.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
To Chili's has an iPad system too.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, it's right at the table.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah, it's like when you can play games on it.
Yeah yeah, Mike, you can go to those types of restaurants.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Not yet, never say never.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
That's a hello to Lisa in West Roxbury. Lisa, Hello,
how are you today?
Speaker 12 (27:42):
I'm well, thank.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
You're preaching to the choirs.
Speaker 16 (27:44):
Thank you for saying that, because parents let their children
crass restaurants and then just get up and walk away
and it looks like are you joking?
Speaker 6 (27:52):
So thank you for preaching.
Speaker 12 (27:54):
Please clean up your kids.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I don't the restaurant, but it's not.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
It's crazy. Wait till let me ask you this list.
Let me ask you this. So if the parent does
not clean them after the kid leaves a huge mess
but leaves a big tip, does that make it okay? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I always feel like sometime the person that's leaving the
mess isn't going to leave the big tip.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Yeah, well, at least before you go, let's have a
single long time.
Speaker 13 (28:19):
Can you say, mama, momma?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Oh my god, Now you got miss Rachel in my head.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in
the morning.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Dad.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Today's topic all about kids. In restaurants misbehaving. You wanted
these parents that have you know, young kids that are misbehaving?
Does it drive you crazy? That is the topic today
and it's a hot one. Let me tell you. Let's
start with Jill in East Boston. Good morning, Jill, you're
on the air.
Speaker 16 (28:47):
Good morning, justin Lisa Lennie, how are you good?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Good?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Good?
Speaker 11 (28:51):
So I'm a mom of for kids and my mom
also works in food service, and I always think I
wouldn't want no one else to clean up, you know,
make a mess and have my mom cleaned it up.
So I make sure my kids and myself are always
cleaning up. And just a shout out to our favorite server,
Jay at the Prince Spaghetti House.
Speaker 16 (29:07):
He loves when we come because I am cleaning the table.
He doesn't have to do a thing.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
What restaurant was that?
Speaker 16 (29:13):
The Prince Spaghetti House on Root one?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh yeah, Prince of Prince Pizza.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yeah, great spot. All right, Joe, Well, thank you so much, Havy,
fantastic day. Let's go to Ashley online too. Ashley, you're
on the air, Hi.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Good morning.
Speaker 20 (29:30):
So the worst is when you know the little kids
are not only coloring on the real menus because they're
all done with their kid menu coloring pages. They're now
coloring on the table and they're dumping the salt and
pepper into the candle holder and they're just making a mess.
And the parents they're just smiling, not even trying to
(29:51):
pick anything up.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Yeah, I've seen it right. It's horrible.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Yeah, like gentle gentle parent parenting or something. I don't
like that, like a parenting issue. What he's allergy to kids?
It sounds like I know, Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
My god, I am sorry.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I tried to turn my mic off new allergy to
this segment.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I turn my mic off. You're hearing me through Mikey's.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
It's a pure form of birth control for Yeah.
Speaker 21 (30:15):
I was out at a restaurant in Oxford this weekend
and there was a little boy running circles around the
restaurant and there was a musician playing guitar and singing,
and this boy was running and dancing and throwing toys.
And it turns out he's the line cook's son.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Okay, to watch out for those line cooks and their
kids running around. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I don't think my kids have run around the restaurant.
It's more just them. You know, kind of not staying
still and moving around.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You know, well, I think we have to make a
clear difference.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
And now I want to say I'm not a parent,
but we had to take a clear distance between kids
that are being kids in bad parenting.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Those are two completely different things.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Well, bad parenting would be not doing anything exactly, kids.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Misbehaved, right, Like like that person said that, you know,
people are the kids are coloring and they're dumping out
salt and pepper and the parents are laughing, like that's
that's just bad parent.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah. And then from the other side of that as
as a parent of young children, and at least it
can identify with this too. It's like sometimes you have days, man,
with the kids that just they drive you absolutely insane,
and they catch you in a moment where like you know,
you've had enough for that day, for that weekend, and
you're just you have a bad moment, you know what
I mean, supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, it's so true. It's so true. Nothing's perfect. You're
not going to be perfect as a parent every single
time you go.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Out, right, But yeah, and I see listen, I see
all the talkbacks about you know, not giving kids devices
and that whole argument. I understand that that there should
be some you know, interpersonal communication and connection we try.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Okay, the device thing, I totally get what they're saying
in the point where you have to teach your kids
how to self soothe and to calm themselves down. But
like your point, some days you just want to go
out to dinner, You bring the kids along, you don't
have a babysitter, and you're going to put an iPad
in front of them because you and your wife want
to talk.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Yes, right, and that's just the way it is.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
And I want to eat my food exactly, my burger right, yeah,
what triple burger?
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yes, good morning, morning crew.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
What a great topic.
Speaker 12 (32:18):
I agree that if you have children you have to
take them out to restaurants, that you are responsible to
take them out if they are not capable of staying, and.
Speaker 16 (32:26):
Maybe even leave the restaurant altogether.
Speaker 14 (32:29):
However, I want to know.
Speaker 12 (32:31):
What is going through parents' heads when they are taking
a toddler out to dinner at nine o'clock at night
and expecting them not to be throwing tantrums.
Speaker 14 (32:40):
Why aren't they in bed?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Well yeah, that's well again, Okay, nine o'clock seems late
for us as Americans.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Sometimes it's a cultural thing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
If you're from a different country, they eat dinner at
like ten o'clock at night. And in Europe all the
kids are out at dinner at nine ten o'clock a night.
You're like, oh my god, this is so weird. This
would never happen in the States.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'm so guilty of why are they in bed after
like eight o'clock? If I see you, you know.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
I know, yeah, definitely, yeah, I agree, Like, don't don't
do that.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Yeah, Like you see kids out at like ten o'clock
at like Chili's or something, and I'm like, I'm there.
I'm like it's late for me, Like when like that's
why they're fussy. They're probably tired or.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Whatever at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Shut my eyes. Just talk for me in that situation.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Let's go to Darena, Hampshire. Stephanie, good morning, Thank you
for joining. You're on the air.
Speaker 16 (33:31):
Hi, good morning. So I have like everything that you
guys are saying about, like parents not like letting their
children just like do whatever. I had like a really
great experience. I went to a restaurant. It was like
a vegan restaurant. So you don't really normally you don't
see children there, but there was a family of four
(33:51):
small little children and they I think probably the oldest
one was about eight years old, but she was having
a fit about not having her own plate, and the
mom was talking to her very gently, saying, you know
you're going to be sharing. This is what we're doing.
And you know, I finished up my meal and everything
and I left, but he the mom took the child outside,
(34:13):
and like I had to stand there for a couple
of minutes and was just telling her, like in a
soft voice, like listen, you know you're you're a big girl.
You can't do that kind of stuff. And like I
appreciated that. I thought that was like a really great
like parenting moment just because she wasn't allowing her child
to freak out in the restaurant, but also was like
a good teaching moman too, And I thought that was
really awesome.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
It sounds like it she sounds like the perfect mom
or yeah she wasn't.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
She was doing it, and like I'm.
Speaker 16 (34:41):
Assuming they went back in and enjoyed their meal, and
but like I thought that was really like a good outtake,
and like I don't have children on my own, but
like that's something that I would do if I had
my own children. And I don't know, I just thought
it was like really refreshing to see that.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah, it sounds like it's a great call.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Stephanie. Thank you for your input on that. That was
really good. Yeah, that she was able to see that
from that parent.
Speaker 15 (35:02):
It's not easy when it comes out to taking out
children to restaurants or supermarkets or anywhere. I'm very like
old fashioned, old school, Like I'm a ninetiest girl, and
so back then when we had to go out with
our parents, we just had to deal with it and
we understood with a look. So that's the same education
(35:23):
I'm giving my kids.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, we take out.
Speaker 15 (35:26):
Books, I take all the toys that fit in their backpacks.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Now, Mikey, obviously your dad has passed on. I never
met your dad, but I feel like I know him,
probably having Frankie talk about him. But he seems like
the type of dad that would give the look.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
Yeahs ye, hardheaded Italian. He would give you a look
and you'd shut your mouth too quickly.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
You want the look to work. It doesn't always work. Yeah,
you know, sometimes.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
I was terrified of my parents, really I just think
it was that generation, like we just we knew that.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I still get the look. Yeah, I still.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
The book while Oh my god, guys.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
So I was out to dinner one night in a
restaurant and there's an Indian restaurant and the family was
having a party there as well. The kids were running
riot and when I was in dinner, shoe landed on
my plate.
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning. It's just a great
start to.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
My day on Kids run Away.
Speaker 4 (00:08):
Good morning, it's the Mayor of the South Then it's
going to be another eighty degree days. So I'm going
to deem today National call in sick today, and I
think we should all meet at Lisa's pool because today
it's National Taco Day. So I'll bring the tacos and
Mikey B and Justin put on those speedos.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Tuesdays are for tacos.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
I did not know it was National Taco Day. But
thank you to the Mayor of the South End. Wow.
Speaker 6 (00:39):
I like that idea. You guys can all come to
the pool and hang out.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Well, I'm not wearing a speed out no way. If
you ask, If you ask, I will. I'm just kidding. Anyway,
Good morning, everybody, Welcome to the Billy and Lisa Show.
Justin here, Lisa, Winnie and Mikey V once again stepping
in for Bill Costa, who is in Africa. He will
be checking in at nine to ten this morning. I
did not talk to Bill yesterday after the show because
(01:03):
I updated my iPhone to the new iOS. You do that.
It's crazy. It's a lot different. Yeah, you guys done
it yet, I haven't done it. It's actually really really cool.
It looks a lot different. There's a lot of different features.
But one of the new updates on the iOS is
that you can basically do screen call screen calls, so
anybody that calls you, it will basically answer and say, hey,
(01:27):
what do you want to talk about? And then it
sends you a message on what they say before the
call can come to you. Right, yeah, so I set
that up, so all I got was a bunch of
messages from a random number of billy going, yeah, it's billy. Yeah,
it's billy calling. It's billy, like all mad.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
You know this update sounds really annoying.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well, you don't have to do the screen call feature.
I just did because I want to be annoying.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's so annoying though, Like what do you want to
talk about? So then I can decide what I want
to talk to you about or if I want to
talk to you.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah, that's so annoying.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Back in the day that was called a voicemail. Yeah,
like they're just reimaging the wheel here.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Well, it's also because of all the you know, spam
calls that we get. True, that's what it's for, and
it did. It did block a couple of those calls yesterday.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That's good because I get so many. I literally did
it last night.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
So this is my first, like, you know, a few hours,
you know, a week with it, and it's definitely looks
the face of it looks so different like your text messages,
your Apple car play looks different.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah. So so yeah, I mean that's that. We'll check
in with Bill hopefully at nine to ten on how
Africa is doing.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
So last night I was at home waiting for the
book Club stream to start at seven o'clock and watch
Lisa with Patricia corn. Well, we'll break that down at
six forty this morning, and I turned down ABC World
News Tonight with David Mihra. I like to catch up
on world news, you know, things happening around the world. Tonight.
Speaker 9 (02:49):
Is Safari taking a frightening turn when an elephant goes
on the attack.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Now like a video.
Speaker 9 (02:53):
The group of tourists from the US and UK look
at this recording the encounter as the elephant charges at
their canoes in those shallow waters in Botswana, flipping over
the boats. The guides and their riders escaping the elephant,
eventually eventually backing off.
Speaker 10 (03:09):
Oh my god, what if Bill's Connie for help and
you might even let help him.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I know the screen call saved his life. That's in Botswana,
which is not where he is. He's in Zimbabwe. I
had producer Riley do a map check. They're kind of
near each other, though.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Do you see Billy in a canoe?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
See Billy on a safari? Just not so much so.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He's kind of whipped at this point.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
He really is.
Speaker 7 (03:36):
Yeah, whatever a show wants to do, which I appreciate.
I love a man that does what I want to do,
but like this whole trip and like anything she wants
to do on the safari he's doing.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
But you know he's crying. He's probably getting super emotional
there with the elephants in the giraffes, right, Lisa.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
Yeah, he loves anam.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
He's a big softy.
Speaker 11 (03:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
So we'll check in with him at nine ten From.
Speaker 12 (03:55):
The Planet Fitness Kiss One Await Studios, we're back with
the Villy and Lisa.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
In the morning.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Good morning, everybody, welcome back to the show. It's a Tuesday,
October seventh, and yes you are listening to the Billy
and Lisa's show Billy Costa in Africa. We got mikey
V sitting in with us, the usual crew, myself, Lisa
and Winnie and Lisa had her book club last night,
Patricia Cornwell. This was a big one.
Speaker 13 (04:17):
Good morning, lovely morning crew. It's book club. Marsha checking
in on a Tuesday morning after Lisa's book club. Another
great event. Patricia was so engaging and she had so
many great stories, such a good storyteller. It was nice
to catch up with some oji book club members and
my sister and lam my niece were able to come
and we all had a wonderful time. So thanks again
(04:38):
for all your hard work and putting these together.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Yeah, so Patricia Cornwell was new to the book club.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
We had a lot of new book club members there
too at the review, which was amazing. So Patricia Cornwell,
if you don't know who she is, she lives in
the Boston area. She has sold over one hundred and
twenty million books. Her new book, Sharp Force, is out today.
Actually got the book before it officially came out yesterday,
and she.
Speaker 6 (04:59):
Did my book now.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Her series is based on k Scarpetta, So shows like
CSI and Bones basically got their start because of Patricia Cornwell,
because she started writing these books in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
You're burying the lead though. Lise Lisa got her Mikey
and Winnie before GMA this morning.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Before she boarded a flight for New York. She did
my book Club all right, So we broke it down.
So Amazon is coming out with the K. K. Scarpettas series,
So I asked her sort of how did this all
come about?
Speaker 14 (05:34):
She said, but what's Scarpetta doing? And I said not much.
And Jamie's production company knew they're the Halloween people and
I said, well, you know that kind of fits well.
So she championed it, and because of who she is,
she attracted other huge talent like Nicole Kidman, who basically said,
(05:57):
but you have to play my sister. She said to James,
Jamie wasn't planning on being in it. She also wasn't
planning on being the producer. But I told her that
I wanted that too, and so but she she brought
this whole thing to life.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, so she is Jamie Lee Curtis, who is having
a moment right now. Yeah, She's just been in everything
she was in the last show Girl recently, and yeah,
so she's executive producing the project. She's also starring in
it with Nicole Kidman. I also asked her what Nicole
brings to the character of Case Scarpetta.
Speaker 14 (06:30):
Garpetta's personality is probably a lot more like Nicole Kidman's
than mine. You know, I talk a lot, I think
in five hundred page increments, and Nicole is very quiet,
and she watches and she listens. She's very you asked earlier. Yes,
she's very intense, but in a quiet way, but intense.
(06:50):
And she's the opposite of Jamie. Jamie's very intense, but
she's has more of a volume in her intensity, shall
we say.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I also asked her when we're going to be able
to see this on Amazon Prime.
Speaker 14 (07:03):
The hope is it will be probably I'm not allowed
to say exactly what the date is, but it will
be early, like early early spring.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Good. I can't wait for this.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Hold on Lisse. So when she was talking about Nicole Kidman,
were you thinking hot? Love to ask which are her
thoughts on Keith Arabin.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I would love to have asked her that, but it
was so inappropriate. But she did spend a lot of
time on set, and she does have a cameo speaking
role in the series.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
So she's obviously met Keith and.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Oh, she's spent a lot of time. They filmed the
whole series in Nashville, and it's a two part series.
So Amazon has bought two seasons so far, and she
wants them to do more. And then I asked her,
there's no clip of this, but what books, because there's
so many Scarpetta books. So it's based on two different books.
So they go through Scarpetta as a young girl, and
(07:52):
then they go through Scarpetta as the medical examiner. She's
also coming out with a new project and she give
us the scoop on that.
Speaker 14 (08:01):
I never planned to do this, but when I finished
the scarpetit that you have right now. I had been
working with a producer about possibly a television series based
on my life or whatever, and as I looked at
it early rendering, I realized that nobody knows anything about
my life, So how the heck are they going to
do something like this, even if it should be done.
(08:22):
So I said, you know, I'll just start writing up
a little treatment, you know, with some little facts about myself.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Well, next thing you know, I was right in the
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yeah, she wrote the whole memoir. It's coming out in May,
and she'll be back doing My book Club when that
comes out too.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Yeah. I read one of the Scarpet of books a
long time ago. I don't really remember it, but it
had to have been like when did it start?
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It was a nineteen ninety post mortem kid out.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
That was I read one of the books. So she's
been around a long time.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Oh yeah, And she worked in a medical examiner's office
in Virginia for six years because she was so fascinated
by their job and what they do and how they investigate,
you know, suspicious deaths and stuff that.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
So she's just amazing. Bobby Carnival, you know, the actor.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He's one of my favorite act He's going to be
in the series two as her sort of you know,
medical examiner, police chief kind of partner.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah. Boardwalk Empire one of the greatest shows of all time.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, he was in Nine Perfect Strangers with Nicole Kidman.
He was in The Watchers with Naomi Watts. So yeah,
it's a really like stacked cast.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
So how do you get Patricia Cornwell, Like, how do
you get these authors of this caliber.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I've been wanting to have her for three years, so
I just sort of figured out through contacts how to
reach her people and reach her assistant and her publisher,
and that's how it happened.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
So what's next?
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I just posted the Ellen Hildebrand registration link. Ellen will
be doing her new book the Academy at Johnson, Maine

A house is down the street for the after party,

Speaker 6 (12:05):
You know this is a good add on.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I think after party with Ellen it Mike.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
It's gone really weird, really quick.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I want to go. Okay, all right, from one sold
out show to the to another. That would be our
jingle Ball presented by Capitol One, starring Ed Shearing, completely
sold out, just like Lisa's book Club. The only way
in is to win. And we have a pair of
tickets right now for caller twenty five. Give us a
call six one, seven, nine, three, one, one eight. I'll
(12:41):
take a key phrase and the key phrase will be
window watcher.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
Now the entertainment update with the Billy constap.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
All right, so yes, I am in for Billy because
he is in Africa right now. And we had Taylor
Swift on Jimmy Fallon last night and they played a
really fun game. He asked her five rumors and then
she had to go through and tell us which ones
were true and not true. So the big one was basically,
did ed Sheeran find out about her engagement on social?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Did you get to save the date for the wedding?
How did you find out about the engagement Instagram? Instagram?
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Yeah, like everyone else, you didn't even get a DM
in advance.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
No, yeah, we had that a couple of weeks ago
and Andy Cohen, So that's how he said he found out. Yeah,
And then Taylor revealed, whether that's true or false.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
He doesn't have a phone. It doesn't have a phone.
Any writ a whole album about an old phone that
he had.
Speaker 17 (13:37):
Or something, but he doesn't have one that works.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
It's true, that is true.
Speaker 17 (13:41):
So he doesn't have a phone. And this is like
one thing I love about him. It's very eccentric love it.
But when I'm going through being like, hey, like you know,
hey people, so should we FaceTime? I'm going through my
text and being like, who have I texted within.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
The last like months of my life? And he just
wasn't there. Because you have to like you have to
wear and you get a hold of him the bats
to email him.
Speaker 17 (14:08):
And then you want to set a FaceTime.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He has to find an iPad and they have to
give it to.
Speaker 17 (14:13):
Him like he's a child that give.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
The iPad two yes, and he walks episode of Blue
and then this is one of.
Speaker 17 (14:20):
My absolute favorite people on the planet. And I know,
and then when the news came out, I was like,
oh my god, we forgot to call ed.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
That's amazing. That is actually true.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
No phone. I wasn't even get on Instagram.
Speaker 7 (14:34):
He does have an iPad, so he walks around with
an iPad, which obviously essentially if you Internet is a phone.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
But yeah, so he doesn't have like a phone number.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
It is funny that he does have a song on
the new album called Old Phone Sad, which is funny
because you know he has an old phone but not
a new phone. How did you feel he had no phone?
I might feel great.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I would. I actually feel like it would be nice
to de compress. I'm always checking my phone. You know,
they tell you how much you picked your phone up.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
I picked my phone probably a thousand times today, and
I'm not even exaggerating.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
You all did, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
So moving on, Another rumor that was swirling around was
that during a wedding speech for Selena Gomez, Taylor talked
all about how Selena beat her down the aisle.
Speaker 17 (15:19):
I got to see her be the most elegant, gorgeous,
not not only bride, but just vision that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 17 (15:25):
I've never seen anything so beautiful as her on her
wedding day.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I love and she deserves all of this happiness. Benny
is he is the best. He is so funny.
Speaker 5 (15:36):
He's the best.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's the best.
Speaker 17 (15:38):
So I did make a speech, but I actually made
a point not to mention anything about my engagement. Nobody
wants you to be like, hey, I know, this is
your wedding day.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
But at one point was like, should I hide my ring?
Speaker 8 (15:54):
You know?
Speaker 6 (15:54):
And I totally agree with her that she didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And then there was another rumor that Travis was singing
on opal light like he was in the background.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
She said no to that, She said no, I didn't
pull it just she just said no.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Yeah, and then she also yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
And she also said that she's never watched a walked
a strange dog in Florida.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
In Florida.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
That was the other other, like.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
She's never actually walked a dog at all.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Yeah. And there's another part of the found interview last
night where she goes through her songs and kind of
explains them, like Life of a Showgirl some other ones,
and she talked about wood and the kind of you know,
the dirty meaning behind it.
Speaker 17 (16:29):
I brought this into the studio and I was like,
I want to do sort of like a I want
to like do a throwback.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Kind of timeless sounding song.
Speaker 17 (16:37):
And I have this idea about like I got to
knock on wood and we would knock on wood and
it would be all these superstitions. And it really started
out in a very innocent place, you know. It started
out like I don't know what happened, man.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I went off the rail.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I got in there.
Speaker 17 (16:58):
We started vibing and I don't know, I don't know,
but I love the songs.
Speaker 16 (17:07):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Tailor.
Speaker 6 (17:09):
It's great. It's so catchy.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
All right, So moving on, Matt Damon was in Boston
last night and he was in town at the Boston
Harbor Hotel. He was with Mingsai, He was with Joe
and Chang and they were cooking to benefit Family Reach,
and he had this to say, I.
Speaker 18 (17:23):
Can't imagine with the level of fear and trauma that
kind of accompanies that journey, having to worry about all
that other stuff. So the work here is incredible and
wonderful and I'm really happy to support it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
We actually I was invited to go to that last night,
but I could not because of the book club.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yeah, that was a billy cost the event I've ever
seen one, Ming Sai, Joyne Chang.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
It looked amazing.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
It looked amazing.
Speaker 19 (17:47):
Good morning, justin everyone. My name is Katie and I'm
calling in because I worked the event last night with
Matt Damon and Mingsai that you mentioned on yesterday's show.
The event was to support Family Reach, which is the
only national nonprofit focus solely on helping people with cancer
access food, housing, utilities, and transportation. You can find out
more about us at Familyreach dot org. The event went
(18:09):
amazingly and Matt Damon was a dream to work with
and meet. Thanks, guys, I hope you have a great
day today.
Speaker 16 (18:14):
Bye.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Oh I'm glad we know more about family reach.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Yeah, thank you for that. We appreciate not a baby
screaming backcount. I like it.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
She's a working mom. We love that.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yes, And I wanted to mention that Matt Damon's dad
passed away from cancer eight years ago, so he's deeply connected.
His friend, his buddy, Ben Affleck, was busy at work.
He was on the Red Carpet with his axe j Low.
They have a new project. It's The Kiss of the
Spider Woman.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
It was obvious to me very early on Jennifer's involvement.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
In this that she was gonna die or be great.
You know, she just was going to give it her all.
As she did. She worked enormously hard.
Speaker 18 (18:51):
This role you get to see, like all of her
many gifts.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I liked that they were together on the Red carpet.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He executive produced it.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Yeah, that was a nice nice of him to give
her that project that she wanted so badly.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Well, I can't wait to see the movie.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You know you're gonna go see it.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I mean, I don't know if I'll go to the theater.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Yeah, I'll see it eventually. Yeah, I don't know. It
was nice for him to say nice things about her too.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
I wonder if it's anything like that movie she did
about her album, remember when she was like dancing on
the right, because it's one. I think she sings in
this one too.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Okayud and everything, Yeah, okay, moving on. The NHL starts tonight.
The Bruins start tomorrow against the Capitals. But there was
something really cool that happened yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:35):

surprised in all this stage. Well, that's what I I
was very grateful. Yeah, of course, that's why I brought
you down. There's no I in trouble.
Speaker 16 (20:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
So Cam brought Chara into the garden and told him
it was about something else and then he's like, yeah,
we're retiring your number. Wow, And he was like really
choked up about it, and they posted it on Instagram.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
It was really cool.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, they hired him too. Yeah, he works with the room.
Wow he does.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah, I think a coach or something.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
True legend he's an operations advisor. Oh nice, But he
thought he was in trouble and many of them.
Speaker 3 (20:32):

Speaker 2 (21:20):
Day and Lisa all the morning on away Man.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
It's so funny, like every single weekend, you know, my
wife and I we have two small kids, and every weekend,
including this past weekend, the same thing happens. Usually on
Friday night or Saturday morning. We'll say to ourselves, hey,
maybe we should go out to dinner with the children,
and then it sounds like a good idea, and then
nine times out of ten we do not take them
(21:43):
out because they're young, and you know, we don't want
them to cause a scene, and it's really not fun
for us. And then I come in today and Lisa
stops telling me about this online viral story that everyone's
up in arms about. And what's that have to do
with screaming kids and restaurants.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
Yeah, kids and restaurants.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
So there's a debate online over a man and telling
a woman who was out with her kid that she
needs to quiet her kid down in a restaurant, and
it went viral.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
So this gentleman here is telling me to tell my
eight months.
Speaker 15 (22:09):
Old to stop screaming, Oh my god, because he has
sensitive ears.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
I know it's low, but he's an adult. He can leave,
and he chooses not to leave.
Speaker 11 (22:19):
He's choosing me to tell me to take my baby
off because he has.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
She's a child.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Sir, it's not I didn't do anything.
Speaker 18 (22:27):
You're closing restaurants after our discussion.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
They don't want to keep that.
Speaker 14 (22:31):
They want to get fish.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You came to me about my child.
Speaker 14 (22:34):
Did you not.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You can't remove yourself from this restaurant.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
No, you're disrespectful, you're entitled, and you're being previous right now.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I'm maybe I'm probably mistreated.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Man, I'm a happy married woman.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
What are you talking about? Baby?
Speaker 6 (22:48):
I'm teen years this week, so no one had mysterated me.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
You man, disrespect Okay, Oh, Mikey makes you want to
have kids. There's a lot going on there.
Speaker 10 (22:57):
I think the context of what kind of restaurant they
were at.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Okay, here's my thing, because I've had two kids, have
raised two kids, have taken them out to restaurants. You
when your kid is acting up like that and screaming,
as a parent, you should take your kid out of
the restaurant and calm them down. You take them out
of the restaurant. You have to be respectful of other
diners in the restaurant.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, it looked like fast casual I mean, like I
saw I saw the video and it looked I mean,
you might have had a server or it might have
been like you go to the counter and order.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, it wasn't like you know, a five stars. Yeah.
But my thing is it was weird that.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
He when she was like fighting with him, how he
brought up how men have mistreated you Like that wasn't
necessary that he assumed that she was mistreated woman like,
I don't know what that was about.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
That must have been prompted by something, though.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
I mean again, right, if they were in some sort
of takeout situation and sitting down, that's a little different. Again,
if your kid's still screaming a lot, you do just
take them outside.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
That that's why we don't take the kids out. I
mean we do sometimes, but you know, not every weekend
for sure. And that's what we do. If my kids
are acting up, I just take them out of the restaurant.
But the other argument, which my wife says, and I
do agree with her, it's like we need to teach
them how to behave in public. If we keep removing them,
they'll never learn. They'll think that it's okay to act
like that. I'm doing that part of it too.
Speaker 10 (24:16):
All my friends have kids now, the ones that do
take their kids out and about more often, those kids
actually act better and with more respect because they have
more experience doing so well.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
That was my thing, is that we need to take
them to places so that they can get used to
how you have to act and eventually they figure it out.
We did use devices, you know, you know, would give
them either a coloring book or something to play with
or an iPad when we would take them out to restaurants,
just to make sure that you were covered. But I
(24:48):
have to say, my kids are older, they're teenagers. They
know how to act in restaurants. Yeah, they do.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
I thought for a second you were going to be
like they still.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
Right, they kind of do.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Here's the other pet peeve of mine as a parent,
when you take your kids out they're younger and they
make a mess on the ground, whether it's popcorn crackers,
I think as a parent you should be responsible to
pick that up clean.
Speaker 6 (25:13):
For yes, before you leave, right.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
I agree with that, But I have left the mess
before I was so stressed out.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
Oh my god, walk away as just leave an extra tip,
like if you have really missing.
Speaker 6 (25:26):
You're right, and you don't have time.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But I have to say, as a as a parent
of young kids, I did reach down and try and
pick up as much as I could on my way
out the door with the screaming kids.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Arms right, and you know, beef up the tip a
little bit like when Yeah, exactly true. And as far
as the devices go, I know that's a hot topic
as well. Listen, we'll try to go out with no devices.
But you know, if my daughter is, you know, wiling
out to get restless their kids, right, I'll put a
phone in front of her and put Bluie on.
Speaker 10 (25:56):
I love Miss Rachel. All my friends who have kids.
Miss Rachel like changed the game. The kid gave me
screaming do whatever. Second, Miss Rachel's on, it's like a
whole different way. She's kind of grown out of it.
She's more into like kids YouTube, these little girls that
make these videos. But funny enough, Miss Rachel is on.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
We're gonna talk about this later on the show The
Top pop culture Hot Halloween Costumes. Miss Rachel is on there.
That's great one. Yeah, Miss Rachel least I am. Yeah,
he's kind of newer, but yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
You've heard after talking about her before.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so we'll put on Miss Rachel
in the restaurant because you know, we just want to eat.
The other thing is that when we get to the restaurant,
as soon as the server comes with the drink order,
we put the kids food in. Yeah yeah, absolutely right away,
and then we eat as fast as possible to get
out of there. Another hot just the way out. Yeah.
The spot we've been taking them to is the ninety nine.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Oh my god, I love the ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Ninety nine is the perfect spot for kids because it's
kind of dark, it's kind of loud, they're easy going,
and there's one in Salem, New.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Hampshire, so yeah, you can kind of just get lost
in there and no one's really going to say.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
And they still have the like the old school, like
yes they damn like in your own little area, you're
not like.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
In the public. It feelds if it's like separated.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
I took my nieces there on Sunday and they and
they also provide the coloring book are the coloring you
know menu, which is great if you don't have like
an iPad with you, so that like helps entertain them.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
To Chili's has an iPad system too.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:23):
Yeah, it's right at the table.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah, it's like when you can play games on it.
Yeah yeah, Mike, you can go to those types of restaurants.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Not yet, never say never.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
That's a hello to Lisa in West Roxbury. Lisa, Hello,
how are you today?
Speaker 12 (27:42):
I'm well, thank.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
You're preaching to the choirs.
Speaker 16 (27:44):
Thank you for saying that, because parents let their children
crass restaurants and then just get up and walk away
and it looks like are you joking?
Speaker 6 (27:52):
So thank you for preaching.
Speaker 12 (27:54):
Please clean up your kids.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
I don't the restaurant, but it's not.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
It's crazy. Wait till let me ask you this list.
Let me ask you this. So if the parent does
not clean them after the kid leaves a huge mess
but leaves a big tip, does that make it okay? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I always feel like sometime the person that's leaving the
mess isn't going to leave the big tip.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Yeah, well, at least before you go, let's have a
single long time.
Speaker 13 (28:19):
Can you say, mama, momma?
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Oh my god, Now you got miss Rachel in my head.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in
the morning.
Speaker 7 (28:31):
Dad.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
Today's topic all about kids. In restaurants misbehaving. You wanted
these parents that have you know, young kids that are misbehaving?
Does it drive you crazy? That is the topic today
and it's a hot one. Let me tell you. Let's
start with Jill in East Boston. Good morning, Jill, you're
on the air.
Speaker 16 (28:47):
Good morning, justin Lisa Lennie, how are you good?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Good?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Good?
Speaker 11 (28:51):
So I'm a mom of for kids and my mom
also works in food service, and I always think I
wouldn't want no one else to clean up, you know,
make a mess and have my mom cleaned it up.
So I make sure my kids and myself are always
cleaning up. And just a shout out to our favorite server,
Jay at the Prince Spaghetti House.
Speaker 16 (29:07):
He loves when we come because I am cleaning the table.
He doesn't have to do a thing.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
That's great.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
What restaurant was that?
Speaker 16 (29:13):
The Prince Spaghetti House on Root one?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh yeah, Prince of Prince Pizza.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Yeah, great spot. All right, Joe, Well, thank you so much, Havy,
fantastic day. Let's go to Ashley online too. Ashley, you're
on the air, Hi.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Good morning.
Speaker 20 (29:30):
So the worst is when you know the little kids
are not only coloring on the real menus because they're
all done with their kid menu coloring pages. They're now
coloring on the table and they're dumping the salt and
pepper into the candle holder and they're just making a mess.
And the parents they're just smiling, not even trying to
(29:51):
pick anything up.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Yeah, I've seen it right. It's horrible.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
Yeah, like gentle gentle parent parenting or something. I don't
like that, like a parenting issue. What he's allergy to kids?
It sounds like I know, Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
My god, I am sorry.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
I tried to turn my mic off new allergy to
this segment.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I turn my mic off. You're hearing me through Mikey's.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
It's a pure form of birth control for Yeah.
Speaker 21 (30:15):
I was out at a restaurant in Oxford this weekend
and there was a little boy running circles around the
restaurant and there was a musician playing guitar and singing,
and this boy was running and dancing and throwing toys.
And it turns out he's the line cook's son.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Okay, to watch out for those line cooks and their
kids running around. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I don't think my kids have run around the restaurant.
It's more just them. You know, kind of not staying
still and moving around.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You know, well, I think we have to make a
clear difference.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
And now I want to say I'm not a parent,
but we had to take a clear distance between kids
that are being kids in bad parenting.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Those are two completely different things.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Well, bad parenting would be not doing anything exactly, kids.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Misbehaved, right, Like like that person said that, you know,
people are the kids are coloring and they're dumping out
salt and pepper and the parents are laughing, like that's
that's just bad parent.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Yeah. And then from the other side of that as
as a parent of young children, and at least it
can identify with this too. It's like sometimes you have days, man,
with the kids that just they drive you absolutely insane,
and they catch you in a moment where like you know,
you've had enough for that day, for that weekend, and
you're just you have a bad moment, you know what
I mean, supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Yeah, it's so true. It's so true. Nothing's perfect. You're
not going to be perfect as a parent every single
time you go.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Out, right, But yeah, and I see listen, I see
all the talkbacks about you know, not giving kids devices
and that whole argument. I understand that that there should
be some you know, interpersonal communication and connection we try.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Okay, the device thing, I totally get what they're saying
in the point where you have to teach your kids
how to self soothe and to calm themselves down. But
like your point, some days you just want to go
out to dinner, You bring the kids along, you don't
have a babysitter, and you're going to put an iPad
in front of them because you and your wife want
to talk.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
Yes, right, and that's just the way it is.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
And I want to eat my food exactly, my burger right, yeah,
what triple burger?
Speaker 6 (32:15):
Yes, good morning, morning crew.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
What a great topic.
Speaker 12 (32:18):
I agree that if you have children you have to
take them out to restaurants, that you are responsible to
take them out if they are not capable of staying, and.
Speaker 16 (32:26):
Maybe even leave the restaurant altogether.
Speaker 14 (32:29):
However, I want to know.
Speaker 12 (32:31):
What is going through parents' heads when they are taking
a toddler out to dinner at nine o'clock at night
and expecting them not to be throwing tantrums.
Speaker 14 (32:40):
Why aren't they in bed?
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Well yeah, that's well again, Okay, nine o'clock seems late
for us as Americans.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
Sometimes it's a cultural thing.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
If you're from a different country, they eat dinner at
like ten o'clock at night. And in Europe all the
kids are out at dinner at nine ten o'clock a night.
You're like, oh my god, this is so weird. This
would never happen in the States.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
I'm so guilty of why are they in bed after
like eight o'clock? If I see you, you know.
Speaker 6 (33:03):
I know, yeah, definitely, yeah, I agree, Like, don't don't
do that.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
Yeah, Like you see kids out at like ten o'clock
at like Chili's or something, and I'm like, I'm there.
I'm like it's late for me, Like when like that's
why they're fussy. They're probably tired or.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Whatever at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Shut my eyes. Just talk for me in that situation.
Speaker 5 (33:26):
Let's go to Darena, Hampshire. Stephanie, good morning, Thank you
for joining. You're on the air.
Speaker 16 (33:31):
Hi, good morning. So I have like everything that you
guys are saying about, like parents not like letting their
children just like do whatever. I had like a really
great experience. I went to a restaurant. It was like
a vegan restaurant. So you don't really normally you don't
see children there, but there was a family of four
(33:51):
small little children and they I think probably the oldest
one was about eight years old, but she was having
a fit about not having her own plate, and the
mom was talking to her very gently, saying, you know
you're going to be sharing. This is what we're doing.
And you know, I finished up my meal and everything
and I left, but he the mom took the child outside,
(34:13):
and like I had to stand there for a couple
of minutes and was just telling her, like in a
soft voice, like listen, you know you're you're a big girl.
You can't do that kind of stuff. And like I
appreciated that. I thought that was like a really great
like parenting moment just because she wasn't allowing her child
to freak out in the restaurant, but also was like
a good teaching moman too, And I thought that was
really awesome.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
It sounds like it she sounds like the perfect mom
or yeah she wasn't.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
She was doing it, and like I'm.
Speaker 16 (34:41):
Assuming they went back in and enjoyed their meal, and
but like I thought that was really like a good outtake,
and like I don't have children on my own, but
like that's something that I would do if I had
my own children. And I don't know, I just thought
it was like really refreshing to see that.
Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah, it sounds like it's a great call.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Stephanie. Thank you for your input on that. That was
really good. Yeah, that she was able to see that
from that parent.
Speaker 15 (35:02):
It's not easy when it comes out to taking out
children to restaurants or supermarkets or anywhere. I'm very like
old fashioned, old school, Like I'm a ninetiest girl, and
so back then when we had to go out with
our parents, we just had to deal with it and
we understood with a look. So that's the same education
(35:23):
I'm giving my kids.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, we take out.
Speaker 15 (35:26):
Books, I take all the toys that fit in their backpacks.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Now, Mikey, obviously your dad has passed on. I never
met your dad, but I feel like I know him,
probably having Frankie talk about him. But he seems like
the type of dad that would give the look.
Speaker 10 (35:42):
Yeahs ye, hardheaded Italian. He would give you a look
and you'd shut your mouth too quickly.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
You want the look to work. It doesn't always work. Yeah,
you know, sometimes.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
I was terrified of my parents, really I just think
it was that generation, like we just we knew that.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I still get the look. Yeah, I still.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
The book while Oh my god, guys.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
So I was out to dinner one night in a
restaurant and there's an Indian restaurant and the family was
having a party there as well. The kids were running
riot and when I was in dinner, shoe landed on
my plate.
