Boston and Lisa, you had another packed house last night
the book club.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
There were no seats left and we were in a
furniture store, so all the seats, all the chairs, everything
was being you know, used last night at josson Maine
and Burlington, which is, by the way, a beautiful, beautiful store,
all decked out for the holidays.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's even better than the sellout that you have no
seats in a furniture store. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah. But of course there were no seats because we
had Ellen Hildebrand, who is just an amazing novelist person,
fun guests to have. Everyone loves her, and we were
talking about her new book, The Academy, which she wrote
with her daughter Shelby.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That must have been fun. I know. We get some
people that were there.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Hey, morning, Jean, it's Amanda. I'm on my way to
work and I just thought I would call in to
say that last night's book club event was awesome. It
was my first ever and I really hope to get
to some more of them in the future. Lisa, you
did a great job and Ellen was funny as usual.
(02:12):
Thanks for doing what you do now.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You had a newbie there last night.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
We had a lot of newbies, which was amazing, so
many new faces and some OG's too. So we just
we just had a packed house, a lot of fun.
We raised a lot of money for raising a Reader
Massachusetts again and.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So the winning streak is alive. Another sold out, another
packed house.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Yeah, it was really And you've got one this week,
another one I do.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I have Jeff Benedict who did my book club about
six months ago. We were at the reviewer for that one,
and he's back. He wrote the Dynasty and the Tiger
Woods book, the Lebron book.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He's a sports right now. But we'll be down in Hartford.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So if you guys want to come, if you know
people that are in Hartford or in you know sort
of that you know down eighty four.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, what did they do if they want to go
to Hartford?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
This just DM me and I'll put you on my list.
But Jeff is amazing. He's coming out with a Tom
Cruise book, so we're going to talk a lot about that.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
No one's written about Tom Cruise.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Oh is he kind of right about the scientology?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes, he's writing about everything. So the book's coming out
in twenty twenty six. He'll be back in Boston for that.
But we just have a lot to talk about with
the Patriots and now the Rabel's there and what's going
on with Belichick, and he always has some great insight
on all that kind of stuff. So if you want
to meet Jeff, you know, just come to Hartford.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And since the last time you had him on, the
Celtics have been on it. I mean, the brother Patriots
have been on an incredible winning street. Yeah, number one
in the FC. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So that's this Thursday from six State at Farmington Gardens,
which is a beautiful event space. And then I'm back
at the Newbery on November sixth with Marissa Melter but
that's completely sold out.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well that's quite a tour, yeah, the Lisa Book Club tour.
Justin you have an update from over the borders in
New Hampshire with those chickens of yours. You're now urinating
in the yard I heard.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Thanks to our listeners. Yeah, the raccoons did not come
as far as I can see. Last night. We had
seven the other night. A lot of our listeners is
recommended coyote urine and human urine around the chicken coop.
So my wife got the coyote Urin put it around
the coop. I did urinate myself to protect them.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
A coyote justin cocktail.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
It's just the more the better to protect the poor chickens.
Because God forbids something happens. I don't know what I
would do. I don't see any other ring camera.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Lisa, you'd have to buy more chickens.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, yeah, clean out the coop.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah you worked that.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The urine worked, I guess so yeah. No, I got
no alerts, no text. I looked at the video to
the last night, no animals, so there's that.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Hey, it's Sarah from mein Lisa, thank you again for
another lovely book club event.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
And Justin, I saw you took my suggestion and bought
the coyote urine.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So does that make me a wildlife urine influencer.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
If ll Bean's motto is be an outsider, maybe my
motto can be.
Speaker 10 (05:00):
P and outsider.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
I'll have to clearly workshop that anyway, Thanks again Lisa
for last night, and I.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Hope you all have a great day. Love you bye.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I think we're all gonna come up and pe in.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
The art from the planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So at least I want to get clear on today's weather.
It could get messy this morning, but nice this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right, so you're gonna have to pack for both.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, rain showers throughout the morning and then clearing out
some of this afternoon tempts in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Okay. Meantime, the Celt's going to open the season in
the TD Garden tonight with the Sixers. It's a seven
point thirty tip off. Coach Joe Mizzoula on the new season.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
Karn ask for a better preseason up until today, and now.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You know, we go into you know, a season where
there's every flowry, changes and challenges and opportunities, and we
have to fight to keep that identity on both us
the four. Let's go. Jaylen Brown questionable for tonight's game
with the hampstring injury. But it is a big week
for our buddy Jalen Brown. He turns twenty nine years
old this coming Friday. Friday has been declared Jalen Brown
(06:11):
Day in the City of Boston. At least, so you
want to read part of that proclamation he posted.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yes, whereas Jalen Brown's off court contributions to Boston outshine
his on court resume, including launching multiple businesses such as
Juice seven four seven, which have both opened retail stores
in Boston and cultivated local talent, and whereas the Juice
Foundation focuses its work on bridging the gap in underserved
(06:37):
communities by offering programs for youth ranging from financial literacy
to leadership and activism.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Don't forget he also speaks at Harvard on a pretty
irregular schedule, and Jalen Brown talks about his drive to
accomplish so much and give back so much.
Speaker 12 (06:53):
I was taught principles and values, a moral compass that
you have internally. You know, there's a there's laws that
we follow and a bye as citizens, and then there's
like universal laws that you know, you could feel internally
what's the right thing to do or what's the wrong
thing to do, regardless of what the circumstance is. And
I've always my family has always guided us to have
(07:16):
that strong moral compass, regardless of somebody's looking, somebody's not looking.
So I don't know where it came from. I don't know,
you know, it's just been a part of who I've
been and who I am.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Such a nice guy. Keep in mind, Jalen is a
four time All Star. He helped lead the Celtics to
their eighteenth NBA Championship in twenty twenty four. He got
the finals MVP. By the way, and hard to believe,
but Jalen has been with the Celtics for ten years now.
Crazy and he talks about coming to Boston for the
(07:47):
first time and what he was.
Speaker 12 (07:48):
Thinking all of the stuff that you hear about Boston
on the way in. I didn't know what to think,
you know, so I was quiet. I kind of like
was just kind of observing but coming in, like if
I would be honest, like this is I had never
been to Boston really before. I didn't know much anybody here,
(08:10):
so I was a little bit afraid, but like it
what helped me a lot. I used to hang out
on Harvard's campus a lot, Coach Amacker, because I just
had got out of I just got out of college
at UC Berkeley. Coach Amacker. I made friends with some
of the guys at Harvard and he would let me,
like he would let like the people know, like Jalen's
(08:30):
gonna be hanging out on campus. I'll be at Felipe's
I'll be working out in the gym. He just let
me kind of hang out be in his office. And
I had been used to a college environment because that's
where I just came from. I was in college, so
having that environment be extended to me helped me get
more comfortable. So shout out to coach Amicker for that.
(08:51):
But that helped me a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
So hard to believe.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, DJ pup Dog from Jamming Down the Hall was
at the event last night, right, Yeah, he was there
for the problem. He posted some good pictures and videos.
Jason Tatum was there, popped out with a lot of
work with his Jews Foundation and you know, sneakers and everything.
But yeah, it looked really cool. Now a lot of
people probably know, maybe not that Jalen Brown is wicked smart.
(09:16):
Oh yeah, Like he gives lectures at Harvard and MIT.
He's a very good chess player.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, Bill Ny the science guy is his all time
on IDOL.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Yeah, so much so that when he was getting draft
for you know, getting drafted, a lot of teams passed
on him because they thought he was too smart and
that he would get bored playing basketball. And luckily the
Celtics got him. So he's just a cool dude.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Man.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I always think about he came into this building one
time to talk about one of his events, maybe the
Jews Foundation. Yeah, yeah, And typically when these athletes artists
come in, they have a huge entourage with them. So
I got the call a text that he was here.
So I went out to the to our you know,
third floor of the door, and he wasn't there. So
I texted the bag and so he's not here. You know,
he's down in the lobby. So I go down there
(10:00):
and he's just sitting by himself in the chair. As
people were walking around, they had no idea it was.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Him, no manager, no agent, Jalen on the couch.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
And I got to walk up with him, getting the
elevator with him, chat with him all the way up.
He came on. He was fantastic, so nice, took pictures.
Just a really soft spoken but really good dude.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
He's so calming his voice. I could listen to it
all day.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh yeah, and so committed to health and fitness. You
might wonder what's his secrets.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Fascinating. That's one of the best forms of resetting your body,
resetting your spirit. Getting in an alignment. When you fast
for certain periods of time, your nervous system resets, your
gut bio on resets, you push all the bacteria, the
(10:49):
bad bacteria levels no drop, and so many times like
what's in our stomachs has an effect on our emotions
and feelings, like we don't understand, like the bacteria that
is in you, it craves sugar, it craves stress, it
craves all of these different things that can hijack your
(11:11):
nervous system. It's your second brain. So being able to
fast kind of recess the levels in your second brain
that allows you to get back to the discipline or
the version of you that you want to be.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Like we said, he's very smart. I'm so hungry, I
could ride a horse.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
It's really fasting is really really good for you. I
do internet fasting off and on. I think he does
serious fasting though, like one to two days, maybe even
three or four days. Some people do five days only water.
So happy birthday to Jalen Brown. Congrats Jalen Brown. Good
luck on the new season. And remember Jalen if you
(11:49):
need any help, We're always.
Speaker 12 (11:51):

Speaker 6 (12:23):

So he just walked up from behind pants.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Me core memory like, wow, we'll never leave me.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
I gotta be honest, Justin when I said at least
have you ever been a six Flags?

That wasn't the answer. I was inspecting that today's today's world. Yeah,
it's he got a register for that one.

connected rather commented, oh my god, she loves it. Here's
a clip right here.
Speaker 6 (17:35):

Speaker 2 (17:39):
No, there's no chance it'll become an official song, right Like,
it's just like an internet mashup.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I love it, but actually it could if the Backstreet
Boys and Taylor both you know, you have the licensing
for the music. Yeah, they could.

Meantime, Charlie Pooth was on Fallon last night talking for
the first time about the baby on the way.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
On Thursday, also released the music video for Changes That

Well, does it there's a there's a part in the
video where you and your beautiful wife Brooke are dancing
together and you're both holding her tummy.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I didn't leave much up to the imagination. Yeah, we'll
be uh, we're expecting a baby in March. Yeah. Until now,
all we had was the picture in the video. So
Charlie Pooth likes to call himself Professor Pooth. We see
that online. He's a teacher of music. So he asked
(19:33):
Jimmy Fallon the night before he came on the show
last night to send him a voicemail of him singing
a song, and Jimmy chose Charlie's new song Changes.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
There's been some changes and a life.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
No, it's good and I like this part at the
end here word.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
No kind of improvised it. I improvised. So last night
Charlie took Jimmy's voicemail and created a song.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Look what happens when you put everything together.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
There's been some changes and nine folk.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I just can't get enough.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
He's done it with us since studio he has so
I couldn't play the whole thing. So Charlie how he
created it was he took parts of Jimmy singing like
the there's been some changes and took that like made
a high hat with it. So he built the beat
with Jimmy's own voice. It's incredible. Go watch it on YouTube.
It's fantastic.

(21:54):
five on the line right now. It's Heather. Yes, what
do you know? Heather? Your callar twenty five? Do you
have the keyword amusement? And this is exciting you? Bet
it is. You're going to jingle Ball for starters, but
you qualify for the one hundred and eight thousand dollars
jingle Ball jackpot. You will hold on right, Heather? Of course,
(22:18):
I will thank you so much. Okay, Lisa had a
packed house last night. I did.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
We had Ellen Hildebrand, Queen of the Beach Reads. She's
off Nantucket.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
She wrote a book about private schools, private boarding schools,
called The Academy with her daughter Shelby and she was
at jos in Maine with us last night. Sold out
every it's a furniture store, and there wasn't a seat left.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All the sofas were taken, every chair.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I usually lay on the coach.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yep, take up three seats. You're very comfortable.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
But yeah, she was there and she talked about I
asked her how the idea for the academy came about.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
The stories were crazy, and at some point in the
middle of her sophomore spring, I said, were She was
telling me a particularly scandalous story, and I said, writing
a novel, and she very famously said, don't temp me
with a good time.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I was like, okay, So she said yes.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
And then we just as she moved through boarding school,
we just were keeping notes and we called it straight
to the pages and STP and everything that happened. We
were just writing down, and then when we went to
write it, we created the characters together and discussed their arcs. Okay,
pause here to let you know because some of you've
(23:29):
already read the book.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yes, there's obviously a book two.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, and there's going to be a show on a
streaming very popular streaming service that probably had the perfect couple.
She couldn't say exactly what it was, but you can
figure it out and that will be coming out in probably,
you know, twenty twenty seven, follow twenty twenty seven. And
then I asked her a really important question about how
she got started in writing and was she always a writer?
Speaker 7 (23:54):
My teacher, missus Buckwelder, you know, years and years and
decades decades later, came to my signing when I signed
in my hometown, and she sat in the front, and
I was able to say to her, you know, maybe
I showed extraordinary talented age seven, but more likely I
was enthusiastic about making up stories and writing them down.
And you encouraged me, and you called me an author,
(24:15):
and you sent me on my way. So for if
we have any teachers in the audience, do we have
any teachers?
Speaker 12 (24:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
That is the power of education, right there, is believing
in your kids and noticing their talents.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I thought that was really important to point out that
she was given this award as author of the Year
in second grade and it really propelled her to believe
in herself.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, Ellen was a teacher at one point. Okay, yeah,
so I don't know, she's a really cool lady. Obviously,
she just really is engaging with her fans, so beautiful night.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
To answer Lewis Capaldi's question, Hey, Lisa, what's going on?
What's going on? It's Alsia's book Club, because you have
another event this week, we do.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Jeff Benedict will be in Hartford Farmington Gardens. He wrote
The Dynasty, the Patriots, that huge Apple TV doc, Little
bron Book, the Tiger Book. He's coming out with the
Tom Cruise book. So yeah, if you want to go, like,
if you're down in that area, just DM me and
I'll put you on the list. It's this Thursday night
at six o'clock Farmington Garden or.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Take the drive. Let's fill up Hartford, fill up hart
for it. Hey, We're brought to you by Dover Rugg.
They will come to your house. We've talked about this.
You go to the store, you see rugs you like,
they'll bring them to your house and lie them on
the floor. They're the only place that does it. Go
to Dover rug Nadic Boston, Burlington or doverrug dot com
and there you go. So you a teacher, eh, Lisa
(25:37):
kiss Hey.
Speaker 17 (25:38):
Guys had a question. So I've been seeing this guy
for a couple of weeks, and uh, Lisa, I know
you're kind of newly on the dating scene, so I
wanted to pick your brain. But we have now gone
what was basically our third date. He invites me over
and I discover that he lives at home with his parents. Yeah,
it's it's super awkward. He does not tell me this.
(25:59):
He's going to make me dinner, and I discovered that
he is essentially a failure to launch and has never
moved out.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
He is thirty four. Is this a red flag? Okay, run,
don't walk?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Okay, who's cooking dinner?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
His mom's mom's.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Got to be the mother? We want it now?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So I think the biggest thing is that he just
didn't tell her, because that's a that's kind of a
that's like a big deal.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Right, he invited her over and tell him didn't.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Tell her who his roommates are, basically right, It's almost
like it was a practical joke.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I know, you know, Hey, let's go over and want
to come over to my place, and doesn't mention that
his place is his mom and dad's place.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
And it's too bad. Sounds like she's really into this dude.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah, I mean, I guess. So the conversation is when
is it too old to be living with your parents?
And I know that you know, it's it's tough out there.
I mean, it is a rent in Boston particular, even
outside of Boston is so expensive and some you know,
obviously he's probably trying to save some money.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, maybe he's got one of those you know, apartments
above the garage setups or something, or maybe it's a
finished basement and he's got his own entrance or something.
I need more information from her, right, but but but
it's still too old. It's a red flash.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I think it's I think I think that's too old.
I think even if you know you have to, you
know things are tight. I still think there's a way
to not live with your parents, right, You get a
couple of.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Roommates, you make it work. Yeah, but at seventeen, my
dad said, what are you moving out at seventeen seventeen? Yeah,
but you know, I'll be honest with you. I'd love
to live with my mom, do my laundry, cook my day,
and that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
But it's it's it's painful when you're dating because this
awkwardness happens.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Right, My wife and I have this thought at my
house that because we have a split, right, so we
have full two full houses upstairs and down. Obviously my
mother and her mother lived downstairs. But we have this
thought that my son's probably never going to leave.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, it makes sense, see what I mean. There's an
example where it makes a lot of sense for your
son able when he gets older, he can take over
for the basement at some point. I mean, you've got
that much spase. You can also add to that house.
You'll get so much land up there.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Okay, but what if what if it's my son, he
lives downstairs and he brings a girl there and doesn't
tell them that we live upstairs.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Is that different? You got to say where you live.
If you invite somebody to your place, you got to say,
by the way, my mom and dad live upstairs. But
I have my own sight.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I just want you to know.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Shepherd entrance, this is the setup. Yeah, you're not walking
in and there's Dad on the barker launcher in the
living room.
Speaker 18 (28:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
For me, that story that the red flag is that
he just never mentioned it.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I want to know who's cooking dinner. He invited her
over for dinner. Is he cooking the dinner? And where
are the parents when he's cooking dinner? Family joining them
for dinner. I think it's a family dinner.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, this is so awkward. Yeah. I told this story before.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
But one time I had a hook up with the girl,
a one night stand whatever, and I ended up going
to our house and I slept over after we hooked up.
And the next morning I woke up and she was like,
do you want breakfast? And she brought me downstairs and
her mom and dad were at the table. They had
cooked breakfast. She didn't tell you, and she didn't tell me.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I walked down.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Now I'm eating eggs and baking with the mother and
the father and they're like, oh, so, what's your name?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And dad knows you just climbed on his daughter.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Well, we didn't talk about that, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I guess they were probably used to it.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
It's interesting because I saw this story in the news
today because Dakota Johnson was part of this vogue, you know,
like they asked her questions yea, yeah, this video, and
one of the questions was about red flags.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Do you have any red flags? Men who wear flip flops?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
In public, run.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Run flip flops another one, but just walking around. I mean,
it's one thing if you're a man on a boat
or you're okay with men, foot.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Flops absolutely interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, that's right with foot flops.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
So if I, okay, if I walked in tomorrow morning
to the office wearing flip flops, you wouldn't walk into
Justin's studio immediately and privately say what's going on with Bill?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Well, I think it's a luck. I think some guys
can pull it off.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Okay, don't I don't wear I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Flip flops in the winter is weird because we live
in New England.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But flip flops in the.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Summer, Okay, if it happened to you, you'd come in
the next morning. Yeah it was okay, but it was
wearing flip flops.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
No, it has no don't I don't mind flip flops. Wow, Okay,
Devil's Advocate.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
I am the primary care taker for both of my
parents and we cohabitate, is what I like to say,
because it's just what works.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Back for our family.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
However, whenever I need somebody new, it's probably one of
the first things I lest of now, and I'm not
super keen on hanging out there even though I have
a completely separate apartment.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
See yeah, so she does the right So yeah, so
she puts it out there like this is this is
what we do. This is our living arrangement.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And it's much more common now, right it is, you know,
because they have the two comes, they can help out
with the rest.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
But a lot of people have to take care of
their parents.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Oh yeah, and then there's that, right, she's taking care
of the property, she said, she's a caretaker.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Yeah, for the house. You heard what she said. She
just tries not to like hang out there, invite people
over for dinner, and you tell them immediately by the way,
I live with my parents. You know, I take care
of the problem, you know. So you got to let
somebody know. So this poor listener, I'm thinking about my
situation now her she was probably so awkward when she
got there and there are the parents, like, hey, welcome in,
(31:32):
I have a seat. We're having pot roads it's meat.
Speaker 16 (31:36):
The meat we want it now the me.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
So a couple of minutes ago we're having this conversation.
We get a talk back from a woman who said, yeah,
she went on a date with a guy. He invited
her to his house for dinner. Went to the house.
It's his parents' house and it.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Was a family dinner and he's in his mid thirties
and he never told her.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
If that's not a giant red flag. So we're talking
about red flags out there.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Here's the message from one of our listeners. By the way,
if anyone ever has any questions, you can always even
talk back and ask us our advice. Well, mainly Lisa
is because that's who we listen to on the show.
Film and I will chime in too.
Speaker 17 (32:10):
Hey, guys, had a question. So i'ven't seeing this guy
for a couple of weeks, and Lisa, I know you're
kind of newly on the dating scene, so I wanted
to pick your brain. But we have now gone what
was basically our third date. He invites me over and
I discover that he lives at home with his parents. Yeah,
it's it's super awkward.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
He does not tell me this.
Speaker 17 (32:31):
He's going to make me dinner, and I discover that
he is essentially a failure to launch and has never
moved out.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
He is thirty four, is this a red flag.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Well, if he looks like Matthew McConaughey, I would keep him.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
But movie exactly, I'm surprised you didn't bring that up.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Bill. You're a big rom com guy. Yeah, I turned
of a big Matthew McConaughey fan. But I can't believe
this woman would have another date.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Well, the thing is, he just never told her, like
that's something you should say, like especially by the way,
this is my living situation, or and this is why
I do it and just give our heads up rather
than hey, we're having dinner with mom and dad tonight,
or how.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
About you're not invited to your place for dinner, you
go out to dinner.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Yeah, we don't know the situation right with that's we
don't know, like we're taking care of the parents that
happens too, or it's because rent is so expensive.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I think they're all they're all good reasons why this
guy may be living there, But he just should have
said something.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
By the way, my brother, I go ahead of this
guy's listening, feel free to call in and give us
your side of the story. Exactly.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
My brother was living in my parents' basement for a
year after college. He brought a girl home who knew
that he was living with this parent. We met her
the next morning as she was leaving, and then she
got mad at my brother when he broke up with
her shortly after because he had brought her home to
meet his entire family.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Okay, see the family dynamic and the dating stuff and time,
doesn't you know, it gets a little crazy. I'm just saying.
Speaker 15 (33:57):
I feel like most people I know that have just
gotten a or going through a divorce moved back in
with their parents just temporarily, and in that time they.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Might start dating people.
Speaker 15 (34:06):
So in that situation, I don't think it's really a
big deal that they.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Live with their parents as long as they get out
shortly after.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Well, that's even sadder you go get divorced and move
in with your parents.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
But again, she's right, there are a lot of different situations.
But again, it's just always good to give someone that
you're dating the heads up that that's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, don't invite somebody back to your place when there
is no your place, right.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
When it's our rule number one exacts place exactly right, mind, dad.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I experienced this with someone on Bumble I met went
out with him for a while. He told me he
was helping out his parents.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
He's fifty two, just so you know, Oh.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Boy, I'd safe because it's all ages.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, he still has the high school posters on his
bedroom wall. In fifty two years. Probably you got the
lava lamp.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
Yeah, on the Good Morning Winceday.
Speaker 18 (35:00):
This is Kim.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
I actually have the opposite situation. You talk about kids
living at home. What if you're an adult. I'm an
adult dating someone for four and a half years whose
kids still live with him. They're in the late twenties.
Every time I go over there, it's, you know, there's
no signs of affect. Shit, Oh my god, here come
the kids. It's it's like living in high school again
and the kids of the parents.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
It's interesting.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, she seems to be well four years twenties. The
kids are in their twenties. That's you know, the early twenties.
Maybe in college.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's kind of okay. I mean things have changed, the
economy has changed, and a lot of times in your twenties,
it makes sense. I think it's pretty normal if you're
looking to start your life, stay.
Speaker 19 (35:41):
Home, right, No other catty here being a thirty four
year old and never living on your own, I guess probably,
especially for a guy, is crazy, like what's his social circle?
Does he have friends?
Speaker 18 (35:54):
Are they like?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
What's up with this?
Speaker 19 (35:57):
That's wild. I mean I live with my parents a
little bit for graduating undergrad but that was mostly just
to help them financially. I could have lived on my
own a fight. Oh that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, I always it was never an option. It was like,
you're you couldn't wait to live on your own.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Oh yeah, you look forward to it your whole life.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
You get your place, or you get your place with
your roommates.
Speaker 18 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Usually if you're going to college, you go to college
and you're never coming back, right, I mean you're coming back,
but I mean you're living in home.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Change.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
Interesting. When you're young, when you're a kid, you can't
wait to grow up, and then when you grow up,
you just wish you were young again.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Totally.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
That's how life.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Works, right, well, especially with the cost of everything now.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Yeah, it's so expensive.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
So you're telling me women will not date a man
who lives at home with his parents, but they will
date a man.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Who lives at home with his wife. That's just crazy.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
That's a point. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
It's a real good point. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
We also mentioned Dakota Johnson. She did to sit down
with Vogue took some questions about red flags kind of
similar to this topic right here, and she was asked this,
do you have any.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Red flags men who wear flip flops in public?
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Run run flipflops for men? Yea or nay?
Speaker 15 (37:13):
Just because Justin brought this up, I hate men and
flip flops. I've been with my husband for twelve years,
and when he breaks out the flip flops in the summertime, Oh,
the ick settles in so thick, like get those dogs
out of my face.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Oh god, I have the complete opposite reaction.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
No ick, No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I love flop flops.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
I get real subconscious about my feet, so I don't
really wear the mountain public, even though my nothing wrong
with my feet, but I feel like people will look
at them.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's just me.
Speaker 13 (37:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
A show Alway says, why don't you put on your
floop flops?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I you can wear slides.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
I do.
Speaker 6 (37:53):
I don't want flip Well what's the difference?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
So slides slides are like have the band, and then
flip flaps.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
Are like the v oh, I don't the v ever,
I don't wwann a pair of those. I wear slides.
I wear UFOs. Oh yeah, they're the best.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
You wear slides, slides, you wear slides. I can't be
her front.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
What do you mean I got the UFOs from you?
About it?
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I know UFO is different because well I have four
different pair of UFO, but slides. Why not get the
flip flops? No, through the toe wear flip flops. You
can actually jog in their flip flopsy.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
So you do wear flip flops.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I wear them all the time. Now you wear them
out like I'm not going out to dinner or going
to visit somebody wearing flip flops.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
Right, I wear UFOs every day around my house. I
don't wear them out.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
I know the other thing about slides. Strangely, my feet
won't work in slides. They never stay on my feet.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Really, yeah, they share that with you.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Warning flops on guys are like skinny cheese on guys.
Speaker 17 (38:52):
It should not happen.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I do not want to see get hairy ugly toes.
My god, how about flip flops and pretty much outrage
at flip flops on guys? Yeah, Okay, Like you go
to like Nantucket, the Vineyard, the Cape.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Well, you go to like Rhode Island, everybody's wearing flips.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
You're talking about beach towns. That's where flips live.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
But we're surrounded by beach town So what's wrong with
guys wearing flip flops?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
It's just not from me.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
No, you're going out to dinner with the Okay, let
me ask you hypothetically, if.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
You guys, if it was a very casual restaurant, I
wouldn't think anything of it.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Okay. So let's say you're going on a date. A
guy's coming to pick you up, he shows up for dinner,
he's taking you out to dinner, he's wearing flip flops.
You would call me from the restaurant and say, I
got a problem. Again.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Again, it depends on where you're going to dinner, and
it depends on the time of year.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I guess the only place you should be going is
a clamshack because you're not going in, you're just sitting
at a picnic table outside.
Speaker 6 (39:51):
Yeah, okay, Okay.
Speaker 18 (39:52):
Being someone who's twenty five in Boston, I got to ask,
when's the right time to move out in this economy.
I mean, me and my girlfriend both work really good jobs.
We're making great money. But we did house haunted and
it's not looking too great. So when can we expect
to move out? Mid thirties, late thirties, Like, what's the
(40:13):
average time.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He's never moved.
Speaker 6 (40:16):
No, it's really tough. My brother and his wife live
downstairs from my mother's house. My mom lives upstairs. It's
a two family. My mother owns.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, and that's different.
Speaker 6 (40:25):
They have a decent amount of money saved and they
still have not been able to get out because you know,
the mortgage interest rates.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
It's so hard.
Speaker 6 (40:32):
The house market is so hard.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
But I do have to say there is something nice
about that family dynamic where the family's all together.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I think that support system can go a long way.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, that makes sense to me. If you've got a
two family in the family, right, mom and daddy living
in one level and the next level is available, that
makes so much sense to move in. Yeah, and you
help with the mortgage.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
You can help your parents.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah, it's a win win. You're paying rent which goes
towards their mortgage, and you have a place to live.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
It's just it's like everybody is respectful of people's privacy
in their space.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
Yeah, I think for that talk back or the original question,
I'm getting the idea that the guy lived.
Speaker 5 (41:09):
With his within the house, not to something like in
his childhood bedroom. Yeah, he had a bedroom right off
the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, that's failure to launch.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 20 (41:21):
Good morning guys, especially Billy listen. The topic is very
simple today. If you're in your thirties, then you live
with your parents. It's a giant red flag. But if
you're in your thirties, then your parents live with you.
You're a good guy. If you're in your thirties and Bill,
you want to live with me, come on over, Bill,
Now this morning show in Boston, Billy and Lisa in

on Kids one Away.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome into the Billy and Lisa
Morning Show. It is a Wednesday morning. We will get
some rain this morning, right.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Lisa, it's headed at our way.

Yeah, and then it will clear out by this afternoon
we'll have some sun and it'll be in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, so we're gonna have a Sunday day once we
get through this rain, which unfortunately comes during the morning
drive exactly. Okay, We've got jingle Ball tickets this morning

TD Garden against the Sixers. It's Jaylen Brown Day in
Boston this Friday, and it's also his birthday.

Well it's well deserved. He does a lot for the community.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And we're going to give back to Jalen exactly at
six forty this morning, because he's always giving back to
Boston and Lisa, you had another packed house last night
the book club.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
There were no seats left and we were in a
furniture store, so all the seats, all the chairs, everything
was being you know, used last night at josson Maine
and Burlington, which is, by the way, a beautiful, beautiful store,
all decked out for the holidays.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
That's even better than the sellout that you have no
seats in a furniture store. Exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah. But of course there were no seats because we
had Ellen Hildebrand, who is just an amazing novelist person,
fun guests to have. Everyone loves her, and we were
talking about her new book, The Academy, which she wrote
with her daughter Shelby.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That must have been fun. I know. We get some
people that were there.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Hey, morning, Jean, it's Amanda. I'm on my way to
work and I just thought I would call in to
say that last night's book club event was awesome. It
was my first ever and I really hope to get
to some more of them in the future. Lisa, you
did a great job and Ellen was funny as usual.
(02:12):
Thanks for doing what you do now.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You had a newbie there last night.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
We had a lot of newbies, which was amazing, so
many new faces and some OG's too. So we just
we just had a packed house, a lot of fun.
We raised a lot of money for raising a Reader
Massachusetts again and.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So the winning streak is alive. Another sold out, another
packed house.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Yeah, it was really And you've got one this week,
another one I do.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I have Jeff Benedict who did my book club about
six months ago. We were at the reviewer for that one,
and he's back. He wrote the Dynasty and the Tiger
Woods book, the Lebron book.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He's a sports right now. But we'll be down in Hartford.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
So if you guys want to come, if you know
people that are in Hartford or in you know sort
of that you know down eighty four.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, what did they do if they want to go
to Hartford?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
This just DM me and I'll put you on my list.
But Jeff is amazing. He's coming out with a Tom
Cruise book, so we're going to talk a lot about that.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
No one's written about Tom Cruise.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Oh is he kind of right about the scientology?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes, he's writing about everything. So the book's coming out
in twenty twenty six. He'll be back in Boston for that.
But we just have a lot to talk about with
the Patriots and now the Rabel's there and what's going
on with Belichick, and he always has some great insight
on all that kind of stuff. So if you want
to meet Jeff, you know, just come to Hartford.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
And since the last time you had him on, the
Celtics have been on it. I mean, the brother Patriots
have been on an incredible winning street. Yeah, number one
in the FC. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So that's this Thursday from six State at Farmington Gardens,
which is a beautiful event space. And then I'm back
at the Newbery on November sixth with Marissa Melter but
that's completely sold out.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well that's quite a tour, yeah, the Lisa Book Club tour.
Justin you have an update from over the borders in
New Hampshire with those chickens of yours. You're now urinating
in the yard I heard.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Thanks to our listeners. Yeah, the raccoons did not come
as far as I can see. Last night. We had
seven the other night. A lot of our listeners is
recommended coyote urine and human urine around the chicken coop.
So my wife got the coyote Urin put it around
the coop. I did urinate myself to protect them.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
A coyote justin cocktail.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
It's just the more the better to protect the poor chickens.
Because God forbids something happens. I don't know what I
would do. I don't see any other ring camera.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Lisa, you'd have to buy more chickens.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, yeah, clean out the coop.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah you worked that.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
The urine worked, I guess so yeah. No, I got
no alerts, no text. I looked at the video to
the last night, no animals, so there's that.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Hey, it's Sarah from mein Lisa, thank you again for
another lovely book club event.
Speaker 8 (04:45):
And Justin, I saw you took my suggestion and bought
the coyote urine.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
So does that make me a wildlife urine influencer.
Speaker 9 (04:54):
If ll Bean's motto is be an outsider, maybe my
motto can be.
Speaker 10 (05:00):
P and outsider.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
I'll have to clearly workshop that anyway, Thanks again Lisa
for last night, and I.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Hope you all have a great day. Love you bye.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I think we're all gonna come up and pe in.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
The art from the planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
So at least I want to get clear on today's weather.
It could get messy this morning, but nice this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Right, so you're gonna have to pack for both.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, rain showers throughout the morning and then clearing out
some of this afternoon tempts in the sixties.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Okay. Meantime, the Celt's going to open the season in
the TD Garden tonight with the Sixers. It's a seven
point thirty tip off. Coach Joe Mizzoula on the new season.
Speaker 11 (05:42):
Karn ask for a better preseason up until today, and now.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You know, we go into you know, a season where
there's every flowry, changes and challenges and opportunities, and we
have to fight to keep that identity on both us
the four. Let's go. Jaylen Brown questionable for tonight's game
with the hampstring injury. But it is a big week
for our buddy Jalen Brown. He turns twenty nine years
old this coming Friday. Friday has been declared Jalen Brown
(06:11):
Day in the City of Boston. At least, so you
want to read part of that proclamation he posted.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yes, whereas Jalen Brown's off court contributions to Boston outshine
his on court resume, including launching multiple businesses such as
Juice seven four seven, which have both opened retail stores
in Boston and cultivated local talent, and whereas the Juice
Foundation focuses its work on bridging the gap in underserved
(06:37):
communities by offering programs for youth ranging from financial literacy
to leadership and activism.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Don't forget he also speaks at Harvard on a pretty
irregular schedule, and Jalen Brown talks about his drive to
accomplish so much and give back so much.
Speaker 12 (06:53):
I was taught principles and values, a moral compass that
you have internally. You know, there's a there's laws that
we follow and a bye as citizens, and then there's
like universal laws that you know, you could feel internally
what's the right thing to do or what's the wrong
thing to do, regardless of what the circumstance is. And
I've always my family has always guided us to have
(07:16):
that strong moral compass, regardless of somebody's looking, somebody's not looking.
So I don't know where it came from. I don't know,
you know, it's just been a part of who I've
been and who I am.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Such a nice guy. Keep in mind, Jalen is a
four time All Star. He helped lead the Celtics to
their eighteenth NBA Championship in twenty twenty four. He got
the finals MVP. By the way, and hard to believe,
but Jalen has been with the Celtics for ten years now.
Crazy and he talks about coming to Boston for the
(07:47):
first time and what he was.
Speaker 12 (07:48):
Thinking all of the stuff that you hear about Boston
on the way in. I didn't know what to think,
you know, so I was quiet. I kind of like
was just kind of observing but coming in, like if
I would be honest, like this is I had never
been to Boston really before. I didn't know much anybody here,
(08:10):
so I was a little bit afraid, but like it
what helped me a lot. I used to hang out
on Harvard's campus a lot, Coach Amacker, because I just
had got out of I just got out of college
at UC Berkeley. Coach Amacker. I made friends with some
of the guys at Harvard and he would let me,
like he would let like the people know, like Jalen's
(08:30):
gonna be hanging out on campus. I'll be at Felipe's
I'll be working out in the gym. He just let
me kind of hang out be in his office. And
I had been used to a college environment because that's
where I just came from. I was in college, so
having that environment be extended to me helped me get
more comfortable. So shout out to coach Amicker for that.
(08:51):
But that helped me a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
So hard to believe.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, DJ pup Dog from Jamming Down the Hall was
at the event last night, right, Yeah, he was there
for the problem. He posted some good pictures and videos.
Jason Tatum was there, popped out with a lot of
work with his Jews Foundation and you know, sneakers and everything.
But yeah, it looked really cool. Now a lot of
people probably know, maybe not that Jalen Brown is wicked smart.
(09:16):
Oh yeah, Like he gives lectures at Harvard and MIT.
He's a very good chess player.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, Bill Ny the science guy is his all time
on IDOL.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Yeah, so much so that when he was getting draft
for you know, getting drafted, a lot of teams passed
on him because they thought he was too smart and
that he would get bored playing basketball. And luckily the
Celtics got him. So he's just a cool dude.
Speaker 8 (09:39):
Man.
Speaker 6 (09:39):
I always think about he came into this building one
time to talk about one of his events, maybe the
Jews Foundation. Yeah, yeah, And typically when these athletes artists
come in, they have a huge entourage with them. So
I got the call a text that he was here.
So I went out to the to our you know,
third floor of the door, and he wasn't there. So
I texted the bag and so he's not here. You know,
he's down in the lobby. So I go down there
(10:00):
and he's just sitting by himself in the chair. As
people were walking around, they had no idea it was.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Him, no manager, no agent, Jalen on the couch.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
And I got to walk up with him, getting the
elevator with him, chat with him all the way up.
He came on. He was fantastic, so nice, took pictures.
Just a really soft spoken but really good dude.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
He's so calming his voice. I could listen to it
all day.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh yeah, and so committed to health and fitness. You
might wonder what's his secrets.
Speaker 12 (10:27):
Fascinating. That's one of the best forms of resetting your body,
resetting your spirit. Getting in an alignment. When you fast
for certain periods of time, your nervous system resets, your
gut bio on resets, you push all the bacteria, the
(10:49):
bad bacteria levels no drop, and so many times like
what's in our stomachs has an effect on our emotions
and feelings, like we don't understand, like the bacteria that
is in you, it craves sugar, it craves stress, it
craves all of these different things that can hijack your
(11:11):
nervous system. It's your second brain. So being able to
fast kind of recess the levels in your second brain
that allows you to get back to the discipline or
the version of you that you want to be.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Like we said, he's very smart. I'm so hungry, I
could ride a horse.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
It's really fasting is really really good for you. I
do internet fasting off and on. I think he does
serious fasting though, like one to two days, maybe even
three or four days. Some people do five days only water.
So happy birthday to Jalen Brown. Congrats Jalen Brown. Good
luck on the new season. And remember Jalen if you
(11:49):
need any help, We're always.
Speaker 12 (11:51):
Here, Billy and Lisa when we're bawling Billy and Lisa

So he just walked up from behind pants.

connected rather commented, oh my god, she loves it. Here's
a clip right here.
Speaker 6 (17:35):

Speaker 2 (17:39):
No, there's no chance it'll become an official song, right Like,
it's just like an internet mashup.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I love it, but actually it could if the Backstreet
Boys and Taylor both you know, you have the licensing
for the music. Yeah, they could.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Meantime, Charlie Pooth was on Fallon last night talking for
the first time about the baby on the way.
Speaker 11 (18:53):
On Thursday, also released the music video for Changes That
that's got a lot of people talking.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I feel like I know what you're gonna ask.
Speaker 11 (19:00):
Well, does it there's a there's a part in the
video where you and your beautiful wife Brooke are dancing
together and you're both holding her tummy.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I didn't leave much up to the imagination. Yeah, we'll
be uh, we're expecting a baby in March. Yeah. Until now,
all we had was the picture in the video. So
Charlie Pooth likes to call himself Professor Pooth. We see
that online. He's a teacher of music. So he asked
(19:33):
Jimmy Fallon the night before he came on the show
last night to send him a voicemail of him singing
a song, and Jimmy chose Charlie's new song Changes.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
There's been some changes and a life.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
No, it's good and I like this part at the
end here word.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
No kind of improvised it. I improvised. So last night
Charlie took Jimmy's voicemail and created a song.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Look what happens when you put everything together.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
There's been some changes and nine folk.
Speaker 15 (20:13):

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I just can't get enough.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
He's done it with us since studio he has so
I couldn't play the whole thing. So Charlie how he
created it was he took parts of Jimmy singing like
the there's been some changes and took that like made
a high hat with it. So he built the beat
with Jimmy's own voice. It's incredible. Go watch it on YouTube.
It's fantastic.

It's so good. His voice is incredible. Love who, by
the way, said this week his new album is going
to be all happy songs.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
It sounds like he's in a good place me telling
it right.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Hey, Lisa, what's going on? Well, there's always something going on.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You're happy, right there.
Speaker 2 (21:32):

(22:18):
I will thank you so much. Okay, Lisa had a
packed house last night. I did.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
We had Ellen Hildebrand, Queen of the Beach Reads. She's
off Nantucket.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
She wrote a book about private schools, private boarding schools,
called The Academy with her daughter Shelby and she was
at jos in Maine with us last night. Sold out
every it's a furniture store, and there wasn't a seat left.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All the sofas were taken, every chair.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
I usually lay on the coach.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yep, take up three seats. You're very comfortable.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
But yeah, she was there and she talked about I
asked her how the idea for the academy came about.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
The stories were crazy, and at some point in the
middle of her sophomore spring, I said, were She was
telling me a particularly scandalous story, and I said, writing
a novel, and she very famously said, don't temp me
with a good time.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So I was like, okay, So she said yes.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
And then we just as she moved through boarding school,
we just were keeping notes and we called it straight
to the pages and STP and everything that happened. We
were just writing down, and then when we went to
write it, we created the characters together and discussed their arcs. Okay,
pause here to let you know because some of you've
(23:29):
already read the book.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yes, there's obviously a book two.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, and there's going to be a show on a
streaming very popular streaming service that probably had the perfect couple.
She couldn't say exactly what it was, but you can
figure it out and that will be coming out in probably,
you know, twenty twenty seven, follow twenty twenty seven. And
then I asked her a really important question about how
she got started in writing and was she always a writer?
Speaker 7 (23:54):
My teacher, missus Buckwelder, you know, years and years and
decades decades later, came to my signing when I signed
in my hometown, and she sat in the front, and
I was able to say to her, you know, maybe
I showed extraordinary talented age seven, but more likely I
was enthusiastic about making up stories and writing them down.
And you encouraged me, and you called me an author,
(24:15):
and you sent me on my way. So for if
we have any teachers in the audience, do we have
any teachers?
Speaker 12 (24:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:22):
That is the power of education, right there, is believing
in your kids and noticing their talents.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I thought that was really important to point out that
she was given this award as author of the Year
in second grade and it really propelled her to believe
in herself.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, Ellen was a teacher at one point. Okay, yeah,
so I don't know, she's a really cool lady. Obviously,
she just really is engaging with her fans, so beautiful night.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
To answer Lewis Capaldi's question, Hey, Lisa, what's going on?
What's going on? It's Alsia's book Club, because you have
another event this week, we do.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Jeff Benedict will be in Hartford Farmington Gardens. He wrote
The Dynasty, the Patriots, that huge Apple TV doc, Little
bron Book, the Tiger Book. He's coming out with the
Tom Cruise book. So yeah, if you want to go, like,
if you're down in that area, just DM me and
I'll put you on the list. It's this Thursday night
at six o'clock Farmington Garden or.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Take the drive. Let's fill up Hartford, fill up hart
for it. Hey, We're brought to you by Dover Rugg.
They will come to your house. We've talked about this.
You go to the store, you see rugs you like,
they'll bring them to your house and lie them on
the floor. They're the only place that does it. Go
to Dover rug Nadic Boston, Burlington or doverrug dot com
and there you go. So you a teacher, eh, Lisa
(25:37):
kiss Hey.
Speaker 17 (25:38):
Guys had a question. So I've been seeing this guy
for a couple of weeks, and uh, Lisa, I know
you're kind of newly on the dating scene, so I
wanted to pick your brain. But we have now gone
what was basically our third date. He invites me over
and I discover that he lives at home with his parents. Yeah,
it's it's super awkward. He does not tell me this.
(25:59):
He's going to make me dinner, and I discovered that
he is essentially a failure to launch and has never
moved out.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
He is thirty four. Is this a red flag? Okay, run,
don't walk?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
Okay, who's cooking dinner?
Speaker 1 (26:11):
His mom's mom's.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Got to be the mother? We want it now?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
So I think the biggest thing is that he just
didn't tell her, because that's a that's kind of a
that's like a big deal.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
Right, he invited her over and tell him didn't.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Tell her who his roommates are, basically right, It's almost
like it was a practical joke.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I know, you know, Hey, let's go over and want
to come over to my place, and doesn't mention that
his place is his mom and dad's place.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
And it's too bad. Sounds like she's really into this dude.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah, I mean, I guess. So the conversation is when
is it too old to be living with your parents?
And I know that you know, it's it's tough out there.
I mean, it is a rent in Boston particular, even
outside of Boston is so expensive and some you know,
obviously he's probably trying to save some money.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well, maybe he's got one of those you know, apartments
above the garage setups or something, or maybe it's a
finished basement and he's got his own entrance or something.
I need more information from her, right, but but but
it's still too old. It's a red flash.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I think it's I think I think that's too old.
I think even if you know you have to, you
know things are tight. I still think there's a way
to not live with your parents, right, You get a
couple of.
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Roommates, you make it work. Yeah, but at seventeen, my
dad said, what are you moving out at seventeen seventeen? Yeah,
but you know, I'll be honest with you. I'd love
to live with my mom, do my laundry, cook my day,
and that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
But it's it's it's painful when you're dating because this
awkwardness happens.
Speaker 6 (27:51):
Right, My wife and I have this thought at my
house that because we have a split, right, so we
have full two full houses upstairs and down. Obviously my
mother and her mother lived downstairs. But we have this
thought that my son's probably never going to leave.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, it makes sense, see what I mean. There's an
example where it makes a lot of sense for your
son able when he gets older, he can take over
for the basement at some point. I mean, you've got
that much spase. You can also add to that house.
You'll get so much land up there.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Okay, but what if what if it's my son, he
lives downstairs and he brings a girl there and doesn't
tell them that we live upstairs.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Is that different? You got to say where you live.
If you invite somebody to your place, you got to say,
by the way, my mom and dad live upstairs. But
I have my own sight.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I just want you to know.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Shepherd entrance, this is the setup. Yeah, you're not walking
in and there's Dad on the barker launcher in the
living room.
Speaker 18 (28:40):
Right.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
For me, that story that the red flag is that
he just never mentioned it.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
I want to know who's cooking dinner. He invited her
over for dinner. Is he cooking the dinner? And where
are the parents when he's cooking dinner? Family joining them
for dinner. I think it's a family dinner.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Yeah, this is so awkward. Yeah. I told this story before.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
But one time I had a hook up with the girl,
a one night stand whatever, and I ended up going
to our house and I slept over after we hooked up.
And the next morning I woke up and she was like,
do you want breakfast? And she brought me downstairs and
her mom and dad were at the table. They had
cooked breakfast. She didn't tell you, and she didn't tell me.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
I walked down.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Now I'm eating eggs and baking with the mother and
the father and they're like, oh, so, what's your name?
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And dad knows you just climbed on his daughter.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Well, we didn't talk about that, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I guess they were probably used to it.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
It's interesting because I saw this story in the news
today because Dakota Johnson was part of this vogue, you know,
like they asked her questions yea, yeah, this video, and
one of the questions was about red flags.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Do you have any red flags? Men who wear flip flops?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
In public, run.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Run flip flops another one, but just walking around. I mean,
it's one thing if you're a man on a boat
or you're okay with men, foot.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Flops absolutely interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, that's right with foot flops.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
So if I, okay, if I walked in tomorrow morning
to the office wearing flip flops, you wouldn't walk into
Justin's studio immediately and privately say what's going on with Bill?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Well, I think it's a luck. I think some guys
can pull it off.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Okay, don't I don't wear I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Flip flops in the winter is weird because we live
in New England.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
But flip flops in the.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Summer, Okay, if it happened to you, you'd come in
the next morning. Yeah it was okay, but it was
wearing flip flops.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
No, it has no don't I don't mind flip flops. Wow, Okay,
Devil's Advocate.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
I am the primary care taker for both of my
parents and we cohabitate, is what I like to say,
because it's just what works.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Back for our family.
Speaker 8 (30:37):
However, whenever I need somebody new, it's probably one of
the first things I lest of now, and I'm not
super keen on hanging out there even though I have
a completely separate apartment.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
See yeah, so she does the right So yeah, so
she puts it out there like this is this is
what we do. This is our living arrangement.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
And it's much more common now, right it is, you know,
because they have the two comes, they can help out
with the rest.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
But a lot of people have to take care of
their parents.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Oh yeah, and then there's that, right, she's taking care
of the property, she said, she's a caretaker.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Yeah, for the house. You heard what she said. She
just tries not to like hang out there, invite people
over for dinner, and you tell them immediately by the way,
I live with my parents. You know, I take care
of the problem, you know. So you got to let
somebody know. So this poor listener, I'm thinking about my
situation now her she was probably so awkward when she
got there and there are the parents, like, hey, welcome in,
(31:32):
I have a seat. We're having pot roads it's meat.
Speaker 16 (31:36):
The meat we want it now the me.
Speaker 8 (31:39):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
So a couple of minutes ago we're having this conversation.
We get a talk back from a woman who said, yeah,
she went on a date with a guy. He invited
her to his house for dinner. Went to the house.
It's his parents' house and it.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Was a family dinner and he's in his mid thirties
and he never told her.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
If that's not a giant red flag. So we're talking
about red flags out there.
Speaker 6 (32:00):
Here's the message from one of our listeners. By the way,
if anyone ever has any questions, you can always even
talk back and ask us our advice. Well, mainly Lisa
is because that's who we listen to on the show.
Film and I will chime in too.
Speaker 17 (32:10):
Hey, guys, had a question. So i'ven't seeing this guy
for a couple of weeks, and Lisa, I know you're
kind of newly on the dating scene, so I wanted
to pick your brain. But we have now gone what
was basically our third date. He invites me over and
I discover that he lives at home with his parents. Yeah,
it's it's super awkward.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
He does not tell me this.
Speaker 17 (32:31):
He's going to make me dinner, and I discover that
he is essentially a failure to launch and has never
moved out.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
He is thirty four, is this a red flag.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Well, if he looks like Matthew McConaughey, I would keep him.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
But movie exactly, I'm surprised you didn't bring that up.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Bill. You're a big rom com guy. Yeah, I turned
of a big Matthew McConaughey fan. But I can't believe
this woman would have another date.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Well, the thing is, he just never told her, like
that's something you should say, like especially by the way,
this is my living situation, or and this is why
I do it and just give our heads up rather
than hey, we're having dinner with mom and dad tonight,
or how.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
About you're not invited to your place for dinner, you
go out to dinner.
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Yeah, we don't know the situation right with that's we
don't know, like we're taking care of the parents that
happens too, or it's because rent is so expensive.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
I think they're all they're all good reasons why this
guy may be living there, But he just should have
said something.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
By the way, my brother, I go ahead of this
guy's listening, feel free to call in and give us
your side of the story. Exactly.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
My brother was living in my parents' basement for a
year after college. He brought a girl home who knew
that he was living with this parent. We met her
the next morning as she was leaving, and then she
got mad at my brother when he broke up with
her shortly after because he had brought her home to
meet his entire family.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
Okay, see the family dynamic and the dating stuff and time,
doesn't you know, it gets a little crazy. I'm just saying.
Speaker 15 (33:57):
I feel like most people I know that have just
gotten a or going through a divorce moved back in
with their parents just temporarily, and in that time they.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Might start dating people.
Speaker 15 (34:06):
So in that situation, I don't think it's really a
big deal that they.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Live with their parents as long as they get out
shortly after.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Well, that's even sadder you go get divorced and move
in with your parents.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
But again, she's right, there are a lot of different situations.
But again, it's just always good to give someone that
you're dating the heads up that that's what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah, don't invite somebody back to your place when there
is no your place, right.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
When it's our rule number one exacts place exactly right, mind, dad.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I experienced this with someone on Bumble I met went
out with him for a while. He told me he
was helping out his parents.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
He's fifty two, just so you know, Oh.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Boy, I'd safe because it's all ages.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Yeah, he still has the high school posters on his
bedroom wall. In fifty two years. Probably you got the
lava lamp.
Speaker 10 (34:56):
Yeah, on the Good Morning Winceday.
Speaker 18 (35:00):
This is Kim.
Speaker 10 (35:00):
I actually have the opposite situation. You talk about kids
living at home. What if you're an adult. I'm an
adult dating someone for four and a half years whose
kids still live with him. They're in the late twenties.
Every time I go over there, it's, you know, there's
no signs of affect. Shit, Oh my god, here come
the kids. It's it's like living in high school again
and the kids of the parents.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
It's interesting.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, she seems to be well four years twenties. The
kids are in their twenties. That's you know, the early twenties.
Maybe in college.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's kind of okay. I mean things have changed, the
economy has changed, and a lot of times in your twenties,
it makes sense. I think it's pretty normal if you're
looking to start your life, stay.
Speaker 19 (35:41):
Home, right, No other catty here being a thirty four
year old and never living on your own, I guess probably,
especially for a guy, is crazy, like what's his social circle?
Does he have friends?
Speaker 18 (35:54):
Are they like?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
What's up with this?
Speaker 19 (35:57):
That's wild. I mean I live with my parents a
little bit for graduating undergrad but that was mostly just
to help them financially. I could have lived on my
own a fight. Oh that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, I always it was never an option. It was like,
you're you couldn't wait to live on your own.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Oh yeah, you look forward to it your whole life.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
You get your place, or you get your place with
your roommates.
Speaker 18 (36:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Usually if you're going to college, you go to college
and you're never coming back, right, I mean you're coming back,
but I mean you're living in home.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Change.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
Interesting. When you're young, when you're a kid, you can't
wait to grow up, and then when you grow up,
you just wish you were young again.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Totally.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
That's how life.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Works, right, well, especially with the cost of everything now.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Yeah, it's so expensive.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
So you're telling me women will not date a man
who lives at home with his parents, but they will
date a man.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Who lives at home with his wife. That's just crazy.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
That's a point. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
It's a real good point. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
We also mentioned Dakota Johnson. She did to sit down
with Vogue took some questions about red flags kind of
similar to this topic right here, and she was asked this,
do you have any.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Red flags men who wear flip flops in public?
Speaker 6 (37:10):
Run run flipflops for men? Yea or nay?
Speaker 15 (37:13):
Just because Justin brought this up, I hate men and
flip flops. I've been with my husband for twelve years,
and when he breaks out the flip flops in the summertime, Oh,
the ick settles in so thick, like get those dogs
out of my face.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Oh god, I have the complete opposite reaction.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
No ick, No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
I love flop flops.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
I get real subconscious about my feet, so I don't
really wear the mountain public, even though my nothing wrong
with my feet, but I feel like people will look
at them.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
It's just me.
Speaker 13 (37:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
A show Alway says, why don't you put on your
floop flops?
Speaker 1 (37:51):
I you can wear slides.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
I do.
Speaker 6 (37:53):
I don't want flip Well what's the difference?
Speaker 1 (37:54):
So slides slides are like have the band, and then
flip flaps.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
Are like the v oh, I don't the v ever,
I don't wwann a pair of those. I wear slides.
I wear UFOs. Oh yeah, they're the best.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
You wear slides, slides, you wear slides. I can't be
her front.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
What do you mean I got the UFOs from you?
About it?
Speaker 2 (38:12):
I know UFO is different because well I have four
different pair of UFO, but slides. Why not get the
flip flops? No, through the toe wear flip flops. You
can actually jog in their flip flopsy.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
So you do wear flip flops.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I wear them all the time. Now you wear them
out like I'm not going out to dinner or going
to visit somebody wearing flip flops.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
Right, I wear UFOs every day around my house. I
don't wear them out.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
I know the other thing about slides. Strangely, my feet
won't work in slides. They never stay on my feet.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Really, yeah, they share that with you.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Warning flops on guys are like skinny cheese on guys.
Speaker 17 (38:52):
It should not happen.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I do not want to see get hairy ugly toes.
My god, how about flip flops and pretty much outrage
at flip flops on guys? Yeah, Okay, Like you go
to like Nantucket, the Vineyard, the Cape.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Well, you go to like Rhode Island, everybody's wearing flips.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
You're talking about beach towns. That's where flips live.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
But we're surrounded by beach town So what's wrong with
guys wearing flip flops?
Speaker 6 (39:19):
It's just not from me.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
No, you're going out to dinner with the Okay, let
me ask you hypothetically, if.
Speaker 3 (39:24):
You guys, if it was a very casual restaurant, I
wouldn't think anything of it.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Okay. So let's say you're going on a date. A
guy's coming to pick you up, he shows up for dinner,
he's taking you out to dinner, he's wearing flip flops.
You would call me from the restaurant and say, I
got a problem. Again.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Again, it depends on where you're going to dinner, and
it depends on the time of year.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I guess the only place you should be going is
a clamshack because you're not going in, you're just sitting
at a picnic table outside.
Speaker 6 (39:51):
Yeah, okay, Okay.
Speaker 18 (39:52):
Being someone who's twenty five in Boston, I got to ask,
when's the right time to move out in this economy.
I mean, me and my girlfriend both work really good jobs.
We're making great money. But we did house haunted and
it's not looking too great. So when can we expect
to move out? Mid thirties, late thirties, Like, what's the
(40:13):
average time.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
He's never moved.
Speaker 6 (40:16):
No, it's really tough. My brother and his wife live
downstairs from my mother's house. My mom lives upstairs. It's
a two family. My mother owns.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, and that's different.
Speaker 6 (40:25):
They have a decent amount of money saved and they
still have not been able to get out because you know,
the mortgage interest rates.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
It's so hard.
Speaker 6 (40:32):
The house market is so hard.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
But I do have to say there is something nice
about that family dynamic where the family's all together.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I think that support system can go a long way.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, that makes sense to me. If you've got a

Speaker 1 (40:53):
You can help your parents.

Yeah, it's a win win. You're paying rent which goes
towards their mortgage, and you have a place to live.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
It's just it's like everybody is respectful of people's privacy
in their space.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
Yeah, I think for that talk back or the original question,

Speaker 5 (41:09):
With his within the house, not to something like in
his childhood bedroom. Yeah, he had a bedroom right off
the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, that's failure to launch.
Speaker 6 (41:18):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 20 (41:21):
Good morning guys, especially Billy listen. The topic is very
simple today. If you're in your thirties, then you live
with your parents. It's a giant red flag. But if

you want to live with me, come on over, Bill,
