Hey guys, and welcome back. I'm so excited. John Taffer

The key phrase good morning Morning Team Captain Mike Kea,
I heard my name mentioned on this very program yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now why would I say anything.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Derogatory about our special guests?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Gianna sitting in she's working her way up the radio industry.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I think it's fantastic. Best of luck.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Gee, wow, is he serious?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm sunning sounding serious?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
It's out.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He's very aggressive.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Well, I know because he calls mikey V and Frankie
be the scam artist vi bro Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well then there's that.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
So I didn't know if he also had like a
vendetta against me.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, Captain Mike special to us because when there were
changes on the show, like when Maddy retired, he was
kind of like you know, critical towards us.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But we turned him.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh yeah, we flipped him.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
We turned him.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
It's me happy, Thank you, captain.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You're making your way up. It's all good.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
I'm right with Georgina there. The first time I used the.

Road prop, hold on, hold on what she.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I'm right with Georgina there, boy, Georgina and Georgina, Okay,
go ahead.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I'm right with Georgina there. The first time I used
the road products, my face broke out. But I do
still use that lemon teeny lip tad tie thing. I
do like that.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh this is the Haley beeber.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I just applied it. I reapplied the jelly bean.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So the billion dollar line that she sold right made
you break out.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
People's faces are falling off.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, sadly, Well, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 6 (01:44):

But shout out to Gianna sitting in for Lisa this
this week, and then shout out to producer Riley, who's
doing the traffic.

Riley, you are killing it with the traffic report, and
I love, love, love that you stay.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Safe, safe or I hope everyone's okay.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, when Riley says stay safe in the traffic report,
I feel safer.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah. Isn't that weird? Yeah? It's comforting.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, it's rough out there. People are listening right now.
You know. Commuting, Yeah, it's not easy.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
There's traffic, there's angry drivers, you're tired, you don't want
to go to work. Yeah, and you hear that and
you're like, wow, I feel better.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
Let's have a round of a plus for producer Riley. Riley,

an easy thing to do, and you are doing it flawlessly.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Please tell me this is not you know what you're
doing best, John.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But this is you at your best.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Billy.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I'm doing my best. But man, you are larger than life.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
As they say, Bar Rescue is such such a good show.
We have another clip for you alson from Attleborough.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
And this isn't a question, but I just want to
say that.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
During the pandemic I would watch hours upon hours of
bar rescue every single day, and so I just want
to thank John for bringing me a little bit of.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Joy and those crazy days of isolation.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Gianna, you were watching it with your boyfriend Drake last
night and you said to John, you called the show
something our comfort show.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
His name is Jake by the life for show, It's
our comfort show. He put it on last night without
even knowing that you were coming in this morning.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So he was flabbergasted when.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I told her you you were set up for today.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I was set up for today, John.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's always good to see it was it two years
ago already.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But you last year. Billy. It's been a crazy year
for me, but it's always good to see you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
This is great John. By the way, he's back in Boston.
He's celebrating his new bourbon brown up butter bourbon.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yep, you happen to bring anyway?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
We did of course.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Morning, come on, it's bourbon time on the Billy and
Lisa's show. Anyway. He's going to be appearing in several
spots in and around Boston today at five o'clock, the
Liquor Hub in.
Speaker 3 (05:21):

Tomorrow at noon he'll be at mb Spirits in Waltham,
and then tomorrow night six o'clock. Well, you got two
gigs tomorrow, two gigs busy today Tomorrow night six o'clock
one stop liquors in a beautiful meth Thuin, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Where are you coming from this morning? I came from Florida,
so I have a place now in Wellington, Florida.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Where's Wellington?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
He's coast west coast. It's east coast of Florida. It's
about ten miles inland from Palm Beach and it's the
winter equestrian capital of the world. And it's just a
fascinating place. Horses walk by, golf carts drive by. It's
a really really unique place.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you an equestrian, John, I am not an equestrian.
Sometimes I horse around, but that's how who but honestly funing, No,
not really. My wife enjoys it. But it's very cool.
Said like, the world's greatest jumpers come there every year
from all these countries in the world, and they compete
for two million, three million, four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I always used to think that the most expensive horses
in the world are race horses. Some of these jumping
horses are worth forty fifty millions. Wow, And it's unbelievable
to see how their carred for and stuff. Anyway, So well,
it's really really fun to be there.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Mark Wahlberg's daughter is big into a crust ran although
I think she had an accident about a week agoing
over her arm or heard her arm or something. Sorry,
but okay, so you're in Florida. Now you're back in Boston,
and welcome back. I got to tell you, watching the
show makes me dizzy because I can't even imagine how
much production goes into bar rescue.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, you know, I was. I was mentioning briefly to
you earlier that you know, we traveled the crew of
about fifty seven. Oh and so it's five trucks. When
we go to a city. We have to do three
bars in each city to make the economic mix worth
because it's so expensive to bring everybody in.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Once we do.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That first night, I show up at about six o'clock
at night. I get it literally about a sixty second briefing.
This is John and George are in debt, this amount.
They're ready to kill each other. Blah blah blah. They're
losing such amount of money. I go in and do RECON.
I don't know what's going to happen till I go
in there building. I've never met these people. I've never
been in this place before. Some of them's all real. Yeah,
so it's all real. I'm not ahead of you, and
(07:24):
I think that's why I bought the rescue success sol.
I'm finding it out when you're finding it out. So
when recon ends, what people don't know is I take
all the employees, I put them all in vans in
the parking lot, and I designed the bar that night.
So I'm giving the demographic report a competitive report. I
look at my verticals, my horizontals. I don't know how
many sports bars are in the area, how many of
(07:44):
this are in the area, how many of that in
the era. So I come up with the concept that night.
The next morning, when we show up, what you see
on television is training and stress test. On day two.
What you don't see is we're approving the barstools, the
wallpapers were putting together to day.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You've got to work with in your designers.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I'm in the middle of everything. Nothing happens that I'm
unaware of.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Do you have your own interior designers that trouble with you.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
I do.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I have a designer we call an art director, and
I have a production team of about twelve just in
the art department for remodel. So then what will happen
is at the end of day two, all the logos
of the signed companies, the recipes and the food orders
and the beverage orders, the furniture's ordered. Here's a little secret.
If you look at Bar Rescue, the bar stools almost
(08:26):
never match because when you need sixty bar stools overnight,
you can only get twelve of this, six of these.
Nine of those, you can't get sixty at the same game.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Some inside stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Now, look at the episodes, you'll see I try to
put the yellow ones on one side and the green
on the other, or I mix them up. I try
to make it make sense. But when you're remodeling it
and that quickly, you deal with what you get. So
at the end of stress test, everybody goes home, they're
not allowed to come back to the bar and we
start construction. So we build it the night of day
two all day day three. That's why we train off Billy,
(09:00):
because we're building it on site. So we train them
at another location, and then the fourth day, that afternoon
we reveal it to them. So we do build it
in thirty six hours, and what you see in Bar
Rescue is pretty much day one, day two, day three,
day four, as it happens.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But here's the deal. You also have to play the
part of a family therapist a lot, because I've watched
a lot of episodes and it seems like the family
owned restaurants.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Or bars or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It seems like most of the families have one failed
member that's just screwing up the whole thing, and you've
got to sit down with that person, sit down with
the family, make it all work. And a lot of
times you'll give the failed member more responsibility. Yes, but
you have to make sure that everybody's on board with that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know, when somebody isn't caring and not working, it
can be a lot of reasons. And I believe I
need to find the primal reason. What is the primal
instinct that's causing them to shut down? Yeah, it could
be lack of pride. It could be that somebody is
stifling them. Yeah, could be they don't have confident. What
the heck is it? That's causing them to do that. Yeah,
I got to figure that out, and I got no
time to do it. So that's the trick once I
(10:09):
find out what it is that's causing them to do it.
Lack of motivation because he felt unimportant made him feel important.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Have you ever had to fire a family member?
Speaker 11 (10:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Absolutely? And you know what I tell families. You know,
in the business, you're not a family, You're a team.
You see, families protect each other in weakness. Little Johnny's trying,
They have little Johnny a break. Little Johnny doesn't feel
good today. Right, that's a family. You protect each other
in weakness. That's exactly what you don't want in a business.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So I say, be a.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Family outside inside, be a team. If you strike out,
you get benched, right, Billy, Yeah, sure, big.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Difference than a family. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
If you were to think of all the places you've
done and revamped and everything in families and bar owners
that you've met and spent time with, is there one
that stands out that whenever you're hanging out with somebody
at a bar having some of your brown butter bourbon,
that you say, you won't believe the worst thing that
ever happened to me. The worst place I had to
do is there one.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, there's there's one that always strikes me as the
most powerful. You know, Spirits on Bourbon is a very
successful rescue. They made millions and millions of dollars. It's
a great story, but it's not a family. It's two partners.
There was a family in South Carolina. They owned a
bar called Characters. You might remember this one. And in Characters,
they had their whole staff in like the most ridiculous
(11:27):
Halloween style costumes in the world. One of it was
Marilyn Monroe in other words, Burt Reynolds and and it
was just so tacky and awful. And there was a
daughter who cried all day every day because her brother
just beat the hell out of her because she couldn't
do anything right and the parents were stuck in this
awful situation. It was Charlie a Helen guy remember Andrea, Yes,
(11:51):
and Alexander was their last name. And I put in
moon Runners based on the original days of Moonshine. Oh yeah,
motion they would do it during the darkness of the
moon is when they would bring the moonshine down the
mountain and stuff. We put it together and we and
we fixed the family along the process. Wow, and the
daughter's life dramatically changed. The brother respected the daughter, the
(12:14):
parents were just enthralled by the entire thing. Now I
can tell them. I communicate with them often. They just
opened two new locations at the same time. Good for them,
and they're doing terrific. And when you fix a family, Billy,
it feels so good. I mean, the bricks and mortar
building a bard, that's great. But that's not why I
do it. Yeah, you know, I do it because I
want to look in their eyes and feel like I
(12:35):
made a difference to somebody or some family. And that's
really a powerful thing to that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well, the minute we said you were going to have
you on, we've been getting talkbacks and we've been getting calls.
People want to talk to John Taffer. We get some
right here.
Speaker 12 (12:47):
Hi, John, big fan of yours. Your show is always
on at my house every Sunday. You're yelling, brings me joy.
I have a question for you. What would you say
the grossest thing you've ever seen an employee do before?
Speaker 13 (12:58):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh boy, there's a couple I want to be there's
a clean show. But I found a used piece of
sexual apparatus behind the bar. Once. That was a shocker.
I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
and she was wearing open toe heels and the cockroaches
(13:21):
were walking across.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Her feet, all on her.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And we had a shut down production. It had a
Class five infestation. We had a shut down production tent.
The building fumigated or you know, fog it out and
then go back in. And it was a Class five infestation.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And now you've got to deal with the town and
with permitting, and you've got to clean it up and
have it reinspected.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And we have a production schedule, and now we're behind
in schedule, so the next bar has to push back
two weeks. But you know, that was a pretty disgusting one.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know what you was another one we kept back
and have some brown butter bourbon.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's why I shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
You're not going to drink that, are you? He opened
the bottle. He can't drink that on the air. He
gets drunk on one step.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Okay, there we go.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Oh my god, Oh he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh, we're doomed. Good stuff delicious right.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh, it almost made me swear on the air for
the first time.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Got some color in your face now, Billy.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Queen Eileen.
Speaker 13 (14:23):
I just wanted to thank John Trafford and Bar Rescue
for keeping my son entertained as he has undergone advanced
uh mesistatic cancer treatment since Memorial Day and Bar Rescue
has been on the TV quite a bit keeping him entertained.
He is doing well, but I wanted to thank John,
(14:45):
Thank you, that's terrific.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
If you get me a phone on rog you that
kid a call and say hello.
Speaker 14 (14:52):
Now the entertainment updated with a Billy Hopstep's.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Our buddy Ed Sharon right there headlining are our jingle
Ball December fourteenth, and the garden completely sold up. By
the way, we will have another pair of tickets with
McCabe at twelve ten today.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yep, and then again with Gianna and the Vibros at.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Three to ten and four ten and four ten.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So, Jimmy Kim, a longtime friend, longtime band leader Kalito Escuebazito,
died this week. He was only forty nine years old.
You can understand Kimmel got emotional last night.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
We've been on the air for almost twenty three years
and I've had to do some.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Hard monologues along the way.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
But this will This one's a hardness because late last
night early this morning, we lost someone very special who
was much too young to go, and I'd like to
tell you about him, if you don't mind me. His
name was Kalido, but we all called him two him.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Boy Kimmel. Sounds like it'd be a great friend, doesn't he.
He and Klido go way back to when they were
just nine years old. They lived across the street from
each other, and in the nineties, Cleto toured with Oh
I don't Know, Paula Abdul, Mark Anthony, and then in
two thousand and three Kimmel I brought Cleto on as
the band leader, and Kimmel had some really good old
(16:17):
stories to share.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Clito was the leader growing up, I was the sidekick.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He was the star.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Cleto played saxophone. I played clarinet. That's kind of all
you need to know about it. When I was a
local DJ at a junkie little radio station in Palm Springs,
Cleto was on stage playing the twenty thousand people and
then a few years went by and our roles reversed.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It was my show, My.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Name was on everything.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
I was, all of a sudden the star, and a
lot of people who have a huge amount of talent
would have a problem with that. Clito never did, not
a twinge of jealousy, envy, passive aggressiveness, none of that, ever,
the opposite.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
He was proud of me.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
He loved me, He loved seeing all of this happened.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
We loved being a.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Part of it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Cleto Escabido died at fifty nine years old.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
So young.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
When they were kids, they used to stay up late
and watch David Letterman because obviously it was Jimmy's.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Dream and he was the king at the time.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Letter And then when Jimmy got the job in two
thousand and three, he bought he brought Cleto on.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
He's been there ever since.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So all right, Kimmel's never brought out the clarinet?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Has he?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And maybe I just haven't seen it on the show.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That would be so cool. Maybe he will now this week.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I don't see a lot of.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Trip now, you really don't. Breaking news this morning, Sabrina
Carpenter has yet another gig. She's going to start in
and produce a musical movie based and inspired by Alice
in Wonderland and Gianna. You've got some thoughts on this.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Yeah, you'd assume that she's probably going to play Alice,
but their speculation on social media that she might even
be the Mad Hatter or like the cheshire Cat, because
you know Sabrina, she's kind of goofying out there and
she can do it all.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, maybe she's maybe she'll play everybody.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
One woman show.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Yeah, maybe she'll Yeah, never know.

earlier this week. And don't forget You'll co hnt co
headline the Coachella with Justin bieber Uh next April. And
TMZ caught up with AJ from the Backstreet Boys at
the airport the back Street Boys heading back to the
Sphere in Vegas, and the AJ was asked who they
(18:27):
would most like to have joined them on stage at
the Sphere.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
I don't know if she'd ever do it, but I
think Taylor would absolutely destroy it. Cool.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
She's a fan of you. She is a fan, and
we're a massive fan of hers.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
I mean, she's the sweetest.

the time. Yeah, Yeah, he's in it so fun.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Fact, Justin Bieber was posting videos from his giant warehouse
space turned playroom and the studio, and at one point
his wife Hayley, was napping on the couch under a blanket,
and he suddenly stood up and sang to her, wait.

He never stops all of its own. He was doing
nothing for a long time and just got really weird, right,
and now he's just producing and launching stuff left and right.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, he's back on it. Yeah, he had a little
little period there, right, Gianna, If we're talking to.

for a second, Yeah, okay, because that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
It's a play space. Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
When I saw that room and we've looked at it
a few times this week, right with the ballpit and
everything going on, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
A big studio.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It has a stage, has musical equipment, has ball pits,
and he basically sleeps there, has beds.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead. When I see that space, don't
take offense. I think of you, Justin.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
When I think of all the goofy stuff you have
set up at your house up there of North Country,
I think, if you put all that stuff together, you
have a Justin Bieber space.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah. Actually your kids would love a ball pit. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I set up my house so that I never have
to leave so I know what you're saying. Yeah, like
I never have to go anywhere. You try to get
me to go places during the week. I don't want
to go. No, I just want to stay home because
everything I need is there.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So put it all together.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Put a little studio in there.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I want to know a fun facts. Yeah, I do
have a ballpit. You do, complete with about a thousand balls. Yeah,

Speaker 1 (22:59):
You've got a chicken.

We have seven chickens with a chicken mansion.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And then you've got the complete gym. You've got a sauna,
You've got a cold plunge. Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Put a wall around that, bad boy.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
You're welcome anytime I want to go.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's quite the site when.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I come out of my sauna and I'm in my
underwear and then I get in my cold plunge.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
The neighbors kind of it's weird.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
The only time you guys are welcome, Jihanna, you are
welcome to thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I would also love an egg.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Oh hey, we have eggs. We get seven eggs. A day.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You have never brought one into us, though.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
I don't think you'd appreciate the egg as much as Gianna.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I love a good egg straight from a chicken.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Can we get back to your report now?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
We are brought to you by Dover Rug at Home.

If I'm talking to you that I'm standing on business,

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Second?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So we had John Tafford from Bar Rescue in the
studio this morning, Justine.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That was so good, wasn't it wasn't?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Yeah? It was incredible.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah, he's great Bar Rescue, great show. A lot of
people excited for that. A lot of people were sending
in questions, which we love. One of them was like,
what's the grossest thing you've seen while doing bar rescue?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
This was a fascinating one.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
and she was wearing open toe heels and the cockroaches
were walking across our feet like on her and we
had a shut down production. It had a Class five infestation.
We had a shut down production tent.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
The building.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, it's crazy the building.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I think I saw a video of that when they
tinted the building.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, you never want to fumigate. Never, But it was great.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
He's in Boston, he's got a bunch of events starting tonight.
And also he brought his bourbon in and did we
get that bottle away from Billy Gianna?
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, it was the polite thing to do to at
least taste the bourbon while he was sitting there.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I know, But you know how you get justin You
sure ain't kidding about Billy getting drunk on one sip?
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Is that good?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
He famously does, and he doesn't at events too, right, Gianna,
and it's like it's never good.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Always keep the alcohol away from Billy.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, well I just had a couple of SIPs of
wine and as least said, Donovan pointed out, I'm already loopy.
I'm sorry, that's just who I am.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Okay, what are you doing?
Speaker 14 (25:51):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss One Away Studios. We're back
with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And we're not only back, but we have the former,
the first Lady of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, our old
friend Lauren Baker's back in studio. She comes in every
year for her Wonder Fund. So welcome back, Lauren.
Speaker 15 (26:08):
Thank you, happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
And would you like a belt of bourbon before we
get going, because John Taffer was here a few minutes ago.
Speaker 15 (26:15):
No, I gotta admit I was a little bit jealous
of you. Bourbon for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, let's here if you want it or if you
need it. But the Wonderfund is an amazing thing. Did
you get involved? Was it twenty seventeen?
Speaker 15 (26:28):
Twenty seventeen, Yeah, we launched it and yeah, eight and.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
A half years ago and now it's Madam CEO.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yes it is.
Speaker 15 (26:41):
It's a great organization and we're still kind of a startup,
but our mission is to provide care and dignity and
resources and opportunities to every child who's engaged with the
Department of Children and Families, which is our states child
welfare system. And that means there are thirty five thousand
(27:04):
children in every city in town in Massachusetts who are
eligible for Wonderfund resources, Meaning.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
What like, how does it all work? How can children
take advantage? How can families of children in need or
involved with DCF, how can they take advantage of the
program of Wonderfund.
Speaker 15 (27:21):
We do everything that we do in partnership with the
social workers of DCF. So a social worker can make
a request on behalf of any child on their caseload
for emergency essentials like clothing or a backpack or a
winter coat, or they can request funding for any kind
(27:44):
of activity that that child might want to do. So
if they want to play sports, or go on the
eighth grade field trip, or go to prom or take
driver's ed summer camp, whatever they want to do, the
social worker makes the request and we say yes.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
And in some cases these are children who had to
be removed from their homes for their own safety, right,
So it's a sad situation.
Speaker 15 (28:07):
Yeah, no child wants to be involved with child welfare,
no family does. But when a family's in crisis and
the state steps in, DCF is there to ensure the
safety and protection of the child, and the Wonderfund, through
this great partnership we have, can really focus on how
(28:31):
that child feels and what they need to recapture those
moments of childhood that every child deserves.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
And.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
We'll do.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
We'll say yes to anything pretty much, and especially.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
With the holidays coming up.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I mean I've been there as a young child when
there's nothing, but I wasn't in strife like a lot
of young kids are removed from homes fighting for their
own safety, so I can't imagine it. So this is
the perfect time of year for this. Now, what is
the process? How does it work behind the scenes with
all the gifts being put together and being sent out?
Speaker 15 (29:05):
Well, every year, the Wonderfund does a massive holiday gift
drive where we distribute donated holiday gifts to thirty thousand
kids and it's not just one gift, it's everything anything
they want. So we will ask social workers to collect
the actual wish lists of kids and we let we
(29:29):
ask donors to sponsor a child, or ten kids or
a thousand kids, fulfill those wish lists specifically, and then
deliver them to an office, a DCF office, where the
social worker will take it to the child. The other
way we do it is.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
People can go.
Speaker 15 (29:47):
Online and purchase off of our Amazon wish list and
they can buy loose toys, and those toys come to
our warehouse in Newton, and we have volunteers coming over
to on box and sore and pack holiday gifts for kids,
and then they get shipped out to every DCF office
across the state.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I've seen the videos of the actual operation and it's
so uplifting to watch that knowing these piles of toys
are going to kids that really really need them.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
This is a great organization.
Speaker 15 (30:18):
Thank you, An, They's a great organization.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Are we doing an event together tomorrow night?
Speaker 15 (30:23):
I hope you're going to show up, Billy, because we're
really counting on you.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Okay, Jenny Johnson and I are going to be hosting
it again this year, and it's at the beautiful Lenox Hotel.
I don't know if you've been. It's all newly renovated
and it's just gorgeous. Hey Dan, how you doing so
tomorrow night? Can people still go tomorrow night? Because it's
a beautiful event.
Speaker 15 (30:43):
People can still go. Yes, we have maybe a few
tickets left. It's almost sold out. It is the Lenox
Hotel's Room in your Heart Holiday kickoff party, which is
it's the most fun party of the year. I got
to say, the Lex knows how to throw a party,
and this is really really great and it benefits the
(31:07):
Wonderfund's Holiday Gift Drive. So everybody who comes brings a
gift and we fill literally fill a hotel room at
the Lenox Hotel Okay from Florida ceiling with toys and gifts.
And people can find out about this. They can sign
up at WONDERFUNDMA dot org. Wonderfund.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Have you say this again, because did you say it's
just about sold out? Just about I'd like to walk
into a sellout tomorrow Okay, I'm just saying, So, where
do people go if they want to be at the
event tomorrow night?
Speaker 15 (31:39):
Wonderfundm dot org.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And for Jenny and I, it's basically our job to
tip everybody upside down and drain them of whatever money
they have.
Speaker 15 (31:48):
Oh, that would be lovely.
Speaker 10 (31:50):
That would.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
No.
Speaker 15 (31:52):
I mean it is so easy, right, It's so easy
to donate a gift or to donate money so he
can buy gifts. Because these are kids who, through no
fault of their own, are living in a really tough situation.
And when when your family's in crisis, what you want
(32:12):
for Christmas or or whatever holiday you celebrate, like, it's
just not a high priority. And a lot of these kids,
if you didn't, if you didn't fulfill their wish list,
no one would.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And you'll know you're doing the right thing. It's the
holiday season and you're doing good. And like tomorrow night,
you'll see your money at work, which is always good.
I know your husband, Charlie old buddy Charlie Baker is uh,
he's flying in for the event.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I'm assuming he is.
Speaker 15 (32:39):
He better?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Well, there are certain delays and or cancelations going on. Yes,
maybe they put them on a private or at least
they can do with the NCAA. I'm just saying, justin
you had your hand in the air.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I love the Wonder Fund so much. My wife and
I excuse me, I have a little frog of my throat,
but she inspired me. I want to Amazon, and I
just bought a light up basketball for a teenager and
it's super easy. You just sign into your Amazon and
there's an option that'll send it to the Wonder Fund.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
So it takes two seconds. I just bought it. It
was like twenty five bucks, not a lot of money,
and it's a light up basketball for a team.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Okay, So we want everybody listening to the Billy at
least the morning show right now. Everybody where are they going, Lauren,
so they can immediately make a donation and buy something.
Speaker 15 (33:23):
They're going to wonderfundma dot org.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
That's simple.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
Yeah, and there's a couple options. There's an Amazon option there.
You just click it right on the homepage. Takes two seconds.
I already place the order, it's already done.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
And you change the kids on justin just like that.
But you're always first in on this.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
You make me look bast Yeah. Let's sports are super
important for kids.
Speaker 1 (33:42):

No one ever knows when he's talking into the candid microphone.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Me, how are you doing? Ryan?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Your mock countdown?
Speaker 1 (35:23):
That is not to be used on a candid mic.

On Wednesday, says Kim.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
Good luck, justin. That's how mine started off.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Ten days ago was the laryngitis.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
And I've had the cough, the cold, the sinus for
the past ten days. Guess what, every morning you wake up,
it doesn't get any better.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Good luck.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
That's great, that's great.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
And you said you had a little a cough yesterday.

It's just my voice is a little bit not good.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
So, oh no, you've got to do warm water and salt.
You should be doing it all morning.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I'll do it when I get home. We don't have
salt here.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
There's a cafeteria one level down in the building.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Okay, some marckets of salt.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Okay, good morning, Justin.
Speaker 17 (36:28):
I was wondering if you could answer a question, do
you have chickens lay brown eggs or white eggs? If
you could maybe mention that on the radio or even
in the after podcast. Thanks.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
They are brown eggs of all different sizes. Some are
small and some are big.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Oh yeah, I really want one.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I'll bring some in. I eat about six a day.
Oh yeah, bring a few wins so we can have
eggs in the morning. They're really delicious. Have you had
like farm raised eggs. Oh, there's a huge difference. They
taste much better and they're much better for you.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Okay, well, you don't give me a lecture.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I'm just asking for a couple of eggs.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Okay, I'll bring them in, but just know what you're getting.
They're special eggs.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
You have to appreciate the egg.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Okay. With the appreciation, it's an egg.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, Okay, when all is said and done, it's an egg.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
No, because I'm gonna give you.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
I'll give you the eggs, Billy, and then you're gonna
report back and you're gonna say that was the best
egg I've ever had. They're fantastic. So you should see
the coup. By the way, she's got it all winterized.
My wife, she's a complete psycho.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I love her.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
But she has heaters in there. The water's heated. They
have a heated like area that they can go in.
They live better than me.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You have no idea.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It's like a mansion for hens.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah. And it started I know, you know, you probably
don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
It started with I want to get a little coop
with two chickens, and then she ordered nine, and so
the nine came and it was too small, So then
we had to build this big.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Mansion for the chicken.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
Yeah, she ordered the chickens.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
You can order them to be sent in. We gave
two away because they were eating the other.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Nay, are they still beating the spit out of that
one chicken?
Speaker 3 (38:12):
No, we we expelled two of them. We had we
had nine, now we have seven.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Where do they go when they're expelled?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
We gave them to a farm that took them. What
they do is as a pecking order. You haven't had
that term pecking order. So they attack one of them
and we have this giant fat chicken. Her name is Hennifer.
Jennifer is my wife, Hannifer get it. Or she's giant

and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
We're coming up on the holiday season. You know what
that means?
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Family parties, family drama. Gianna was doom scrolling TikTok last night.
Found a list that a woman had her daughter sent
it to her of rules for the holiday parties. It's
completely ridiculous. I'm not even gonna replay it now, but
that was our topic time, right, family drama.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
You know, the holiday's not coming up.
Speaker 18 (39:31):
I was a teacher at this preschool and I was
the only male teacher in this preschool. And one year
we had a Yankees to have Christmas party and everything
was all feminine and I opened something and then someone
opened a Cheesecake Factory gift card. I took it, and
I was like, perfect, No one will switch it with me.
This one older teacher walked on over handed me her
(39:52):
gift and took the gift card. So now I'm the
proud owner of a makeup bag and a candle holder.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
Oh and the Yankee swaps was a major topic because
there's always drama with the Yankee swaps.
Speaker 3 (40:05):
Yeah, always, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I was thinking I was a Yankee swap. That's where
I got that uh toilet thing? What was the original? Oh,
don't don't crap on the what do you call it?
The Oh my god, the squatty pot.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, still in my.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Trunk, drunk.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
I love my squatty pod.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
It's great. It's great for health.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
It that's what it means.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
God, Yeah, you should get that in a toushy. You
gave me a torchue that's in my trunk.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
You didn't you never? You know, I gotta call a
plumber ring. I have a plumber friend, my friend, best
friend Alan, one of my best friends.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Every time you bring him up, he stiffs me. He
doesn't show No, that's not true. I will send him over.
He'll hook it up, change your life.
Speaker 19 (40:43):
First year I went to my stepdad's family for a holiday.
It was like Christmas Eve or something, and I was
like twelve thirteen. They had a dildo that they just
regifted every year as a joke. Somebody would get the dildo.
It was traumatizing to say the least, big Polish family,
somebody would wrap a dildo year after you had clothes on.
(41:04):
I've ever been more traumatized. I think about it all
the time.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Okay, they dressed up the dildo.
Speaker 20 (41:11):
Wow, didn't She's a huge Christmas Christmas dildo. Last year,
Lisa Donovan brought a version of a dildo from Gwyneth
Paltrow's list.
Speaker 11 (41:22):
Okay to a Yankee swap. Oh yes, I remember that abulizer.
I forget what royer, I forget which one. And then
you gave her for Christmas? Didn't you give her the
candle that smells like a vagina. Yeah, the vagina, the
vagina candle.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
Let's say that one. Those are fun things for Yankee swaps.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
Also, this morning, we had John Taffer Bar Rescue in
the studio taking listener questions.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
How cool was that?
Speaker 4 (41:46):
One of the questions, what's the grossest thing he's ever seen?
Shooting bar rescue.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
and she was wearing open toe heels and the cockroaches
were walking from her feet like on her. Yeah, we
had a shutdown production. It had a Class five infestation.
We had a shutdown production tent.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
The building. This gross.
Speaker 9 (42:11):
Now.
Speaker 1 (42:11):

Hey guys, and welcome back. I'm so excited. John Taffer
from Bar Rescue was in the studio. He's right outside
the doors. He came in a couple of years ago.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
And you know what, the keyword will be bar Rescue.
Why not? The keyword is bar rescue.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
The key phrase good morning Morning Team Captain Mike Kea,
I heard my name mentioned on this very program yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Now why would I say anything.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Derogatory about our special guests?
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Gianna sitting in she's working her way up the radio industry.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I think it's fantastic. Best of luck.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
Gee, wow, is he serious?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I'm sunning sounding serious?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
It's out.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
He's very aggressive.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Well, I know because he calls mikey V and Frankie
be the scam artist vi bro Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well then there's that.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
So I didn't know if he also had like a
vendetta against me.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, Captain Mike special to us because when there were
changes on the show, like when Maddy retired, he was
kind of like you know, critical towards us.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But we turned him.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Oh yeah, we flipped him.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
We turned him.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
It's me happy, Thank you, captain.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You're making your way up. It's all good.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
I'm right with Georgina there. The first time I used the.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Road prop, hold on, hold on what she.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I'm right with Georgina there, boy, Georgina and Georgina, Okay,
go ahead.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
I'm right with Georgina there. The first time I used
the road products, my face broke out. But I do
still use that lemon teeny lip tad tie thing. I
do like that.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh this is the Haley beeber.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
I just applied it. I reapplied the jelly bean.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
So the billion dollar line that she sold right made
you break out.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
People's faces are falling off.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Yeah, sadly, Well, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
I'm right with Georgina there.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
This is great.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I don't know what I am anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But shout out to Gianna sitting in for Lisa this
this week, and then shout out to producer Riley, who's
doing the traffic.
Speaker 7 (01:55):
Riley, you are killing it with the traffic report, and
I love, love, love that you stay.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Safe, safe or I hope everyone's okay.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, when Riley says stay safe in the traffic report,
I feel safer.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah. Isn't that weird? Yeah? It's comforting.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, it's rough out there. People are listening right now.
You know. Commuting, Yeah, it's not easy.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
There's traffic, there's angry drivers, you're tired, you don't want
to go to work. Yeah, and you hear that and
you're like, wow, I feel better.
Speaker 8 (02:22):
Let's have a round of a plus for producer Riley. Riley,
you're doing an exceptional job with the traffic. That's not
an easy thing to do, and you are doing it flawlessly.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Keep it going, nice, jell.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
I'm right with Georgina there amazing, Billan Lisa kiss.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
What do you come here to do every day?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Because this can't be your result, This can't be you
at your best.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Please tell me this is not you know what you're
doing best, John.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But this is you at your best.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Billy.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I'm doing my best. But man, you are larger than life.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
As they say, Bar Rescue is such such a good show.
We have another clip for you alson from Attleborough.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
And this isn't a question, but I just want to
say that.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
During the pandemic I would watch hours upon hours of
bar rescue every single day, and so I just want
to thank John for bringing me a little bit of.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
Joy and those crazy days of isolation.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Gianna, you were watching it with your boyfriend Drake last
night and you said to John, you called the show
something our comfort show.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
His name is Jake by the life for show, It's
our comfort show. He put it on last night without
even knowing that you were coming in this morning.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
So he was flabbergasted when.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I told her you you were set up for today.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
I was set up for today, John.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's always good to see it was it two years
ago already.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But you last year. Billy. It's been a crazy year
for me, but it's always good to see you, my friend.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
This is great John. By the way, he's back in Boston.
He's celebrating his new bourbon brown up butter bourbon.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yep, you happen to bring anyway?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
We did of course.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Morning, come on, it's bourbon time on the Billy and
Lisa's show. Anyway. He's going to be appearing in several
spots in and around Boston today at five o'clock, the
Liquor Hub in.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Newton, Beautiful Newton.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Tomorrow at noon he'll be at mb Spirits in Waltham,
and then tomorrow night six o'clock. Well, you got two
gigs tomorrow, two gigs busy today Tomorrow night six o'clock
one stop liquors in a beautiful meth Thuin, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Where are you coming from this morning? I came from Florida,
so I have a place now in Wellington, Florida.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Where's Wellington?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
He's coast west coast. It's east coast of Florida. It's
about ten miles inland from Palm Beach and it's the
winter equestrian capital of the world. And it's just a
fascinating place. Horses walk by, golf carts drive by. It's
a really really unique place.
Speaker 9 (05:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Are you an equestrian, John, I am not an equestrian.
Sometimes I horse around, but that's how who but honestly funing, No,
not really. My wife enjoys it. But it's very cool.
Said like, the world's greatest jumpers come there every year
from all these countries in the world, and they compete
for two million, three million, four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I always used to think that the most expensive horses
in the world are race horses. Some of these jumping
horses are worth forty fifty millions. Wow, And it's unbelievable
to see how their carred for and stuff. Anyway, So well,
it's really really fun to be there.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Mark Wahlberg's daughter is big into a crust ran although
I think she had an accident about a week agoing
over her arm or heard her arm or something. Sorry,
but okay, so you're in Florida. Now you're back in Boston,
and welcome back. I got to tell you, watching the
show makes me dizzy because I can't even imagine how
much production goes into bar rescue.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, you know, I was. I was mentioning briefly to
you earlier that you know, we traveled the crew of
about fifty seven. Oh and so it's five trucks. When
we go to a city. We have to do three
bars in each city to make the economic mix worth
because it's so expensive to bring everybody in.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Once we do.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That first night, I show up at about six o'clock
at night. I get it literally about a sixty second briefing.
This is John and George are in debt, this amount.
They're ready to kill each other. Blah blah blah. They're
losing such amount of money. I go in and do RECON.
I don't know what's going to happen till I go
in there building. I've never met these people. I've never
been in this place before. Some of them's all real. Yeah,
so it's all real. I'm not ahead of you, and
(07:24):
I think that's why I bought the rescue success sol.
I'm finding it out when you're finding it out. So
when recon ends, what people don't know is I take
all the employees, I put them all in vans in
the parking lot, and I designed the bar that night.
So I'm giving the demographic report a competitive report. I
look at my verticals, my horizontals. I don't know how
many sports bars are in the area, how many of
(07:44):
this are in the area, how many of that in
the era. So I come up with the concept that night.
The next morning, when we show up, what you see
on television is training and stress test. On day two.
What you don't see is we're approving the barstools, the
wallpapers were putting together to day.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You've got to work with in your designers.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I'm in the middle of everything. Nothing happens that I'm
unaware of.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Do you have your own interior designers that trouble with you.
Speaker 10 (08:06):
I do.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I have a designer we call an art director, and
I have a production team of about twelve just in
the art department for remodel. So then what will happen
is at the end of day two, all the logos
of the signed companies, the recipes and the food orders
and the beverage orders, the furniture's ordered. Here's a little secret.
If you look at Bar Rescue, the bar stools almost
(08:26):
never match because when you need sixty bar stools overnight,
you can only get twelve of this, six of these.
Nine of those, you can't get sixty at the same game.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Some inside stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Now, look at the episodes, you'll see I try to
put the yellow ones on one side and the green
on the other, or I mix them up. I try
to make it make sense. But when you're remodeling it
and that quickly, you deal with what you get. So
at the end of stress test, everybody goes home, they're
not allowed to come back to the bar and we
start construction. So we build it the night of day
two all day day three. That's why we train off Billy,
(09:00):
because we're building it on site. So we train them
at another location, and then the fourth day, that afternoon
we reveal it to them. So we do build it
in thirty six hours, and what you see in Bar
Rescue is pretty much day one, day two, day three,
day four, as it happens.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
But here's the deal. You also have to play the
part of a family therapist a lot, because I've watched
a lot of episodes and it seems like the family
owned restaurants.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Or bars or whatever.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
It seems like most of the families have one failed
member that's just screwing up the whole thing, and you've
got to sit down with that person, sit down with
the family, make it all work. And a lot of
times you'll give the failed member more responsibility. Yes, but
you have to make sure that everybody's on board with that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
You know, when somebody isn't caring and not working, it
can be a lot of reasons. And I believe I
need to find the primal reason. What is the primal
instinct that's causing them to shut down? Yeah, it could
be lack of pride. It could be that somebody is
stifling them. Yeah, could be they don't have confident. What
the heck is it? That's causing them to do that. Yeah,
I got to figure that out, and I got no
time to do it. So that's the trick once I
(10:09):
find out what it is that's causing them to do it.
Lack of motivation because he felt unimportant made him feel important.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Have you ever had to fire a family member?
Speaker 11 (10:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Absolutely? And you know what I tell families. You know,
in the business, you're not a family, You're a team.
You see, families protect each other in weakness. Little Johnny's trying,
They have little Johnny a break. Little Johnny doesn't feel
good today. Right, that's a family. You protect each other
in weakness. That's exactly what you don't want in a business.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
So I say, be a.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Family outside inside, be a team. If you strike out,
you get benched, right, Billy, Yeah, sure, big.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Difference than a family. Yeah, Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
If you were to think of all the places you've
done and revamped and everything in families and bar owners
that you've met and spent time with, is there one
that stands out that whenever you're hanging out with somebody
at a bar having some of your brown butter bourbon,
that you say, you won't believe the worst thing that
ever happened to me. The worst place I had to
do is there one.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, there's there's one that always strikes me as the
most powerful. You know, Spirits on Bourbon is a very
successful rescue. They made millions and millions of dollars. It's
a great story, but it's not a family. It's two partners.
There was a family in South Carolina. They owned a
bar called Characters. You might remember this one. And in Characters,
they had their whole staff in like the most ridiculous
(11:27):
Halloween style costumes in the world. One of it was
Marilyn Monroe in other words, Burt Reynolds and and it
was just so tacky and awful. And there was a
daughter who cried all day every day because her brother
just beat the hell out of her because she couldn't
do anything right and the parents were stuck in this
awful situation. It was Charlie a Helen guy remember Andrea, Yes,
(11:51):
and Alexander was their last name. And I put in
moon Runners based on the original days of Moonshine. Oh yeah,
motion they would do it during the darkness of the
moon is when they would bring the moonshine down the
mountain and stuff. We put it together and we and
we fixed the family along the process. Wow, and the
daughter's life dramatically changed. The brother respected the daughter, the
(12:14):
parents were just enthralled by the entire thing. Now I
can tell them. I communicate with them often. They just
opened two new locations at the same time. Good for them,
and they're doing terrific. And when you fix a family, Billy,
it feels so good. I mean, the bricks and mortar
building a bard, that's great. But that's not why I
do it. Yeah, you know, I do it because I
want to look in their eyes and feel like I
(12:35):
made a difference to somebody or some family. And that's
really a powerful thing to that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well, the minute we said you were going to have
you on, we've been getting talkbacks and we've been getting calls.
People want to talk to John Taffer. We get some
right here.
Speaker 12 (12:47):
Hi, John, big fan of yours. Your show is always
on at my house every Sunday. You're yelling, brings me joy.
I have a question for you. What would you say
the grossest thing you've ever seen an employee do before?
Speaker 13 (12:58):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Oh boy, there's a couple I want to be there's
a clean show. But I found a used piece of
sexual apparatus behind the bar. Once. That was a shocker.
I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
and she was wearing open toe heels and the cockroaches
(13:21):
were walking across.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Her feet, all on her.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
And we had a shut down production. It had a
Class five infestation. We had a shut down production tent.
The building fumigated or you know, fog it out and
then go back in. And it was a Class five infestation.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And now you've got to deal with the town and
with permitting, and you've got to clean it up and
have it reinspected.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
And we have a production schedule, and now we're behind
in schedule, so the next bar has to push back
two weeks. But you know, that was a pretty disgusting one.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You know what you was another one we kept back
and have some brown butter bourbon.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's why I shouldn't.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
You're not going to drink that, are you? He opened
the bottle. He can't drink that on the air. He
gets drunk on one step.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Okay, there we go.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
Oh my god, Oh he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Oh, we're doomed. Good stuff delicious right.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh, it almost made me swear on the air for
the first time.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Got some color in your face now, Billy.
Speaker 6 (14:22):
Queen Eileen.
Speaker 13 (14:23):
I just wanted to thank John Trafford and Bar Rescue
for keeping my son entertained as he has undergone advanced
uh mesistatic cancer treatment since Memorial Day and Bar Rescue
has been on the TV quite a bit keeping him entertained.
He is doing well, but I wanted to thank John,
(14:45):
Thank you, that's terrific.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
If you get me a phone on rog you that
kid a call and say hello.
Speaker 14 (14:52):
Now the entertainment updated with a Billy Hopstep's.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Our buddy Ed Sharon right there headlining are our jingle

the way, we will have another pair of tickets with
McCabe at twelve ten today.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So, Jimmy Kim, a longtime friend, longtime band leader Kalito Escuebazito,
died this week. He was only forty nine years old.
You can understand Kimmel got emotional last night.
Speaker 10 (15:27):
We've been on the air for almost twenty three years
and I've had to do some.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Hard monologues along the way.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
But this will This one's a hardness because late last
night early this morning, we lost someone very special who
was much too young to go, and I'd like to
tell you about him, if you don't mind me. His
name was Kalido, but we all called him two him.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Boy Kimmel. Sounds like it'd be a great friend, doesn't he.
He and Klido go way back to when they were
just nine years old. They lived across the street from
each other, and in the nineties, Cleto toured with Oh
I don't Know, Paula Abdul, Mark Anthony, and then in
two thousand and three Kimmel I brought Cleto on as
the band leader, and Kimmel had some really good old
(16:17):
stories to share.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Clito was the leader growing up, I was the sidekick.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He was the star.
Speaker 9 (16:23):
Cleto played saxophone. I played clarinet. That's kind of all
you need to know about it. When I was a
local DJ at a junkie little radio station in Palm Springs,
Cleto was on stage playing the twenty thousand people and
then a few years went by and our roles reversed.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It was my show, My.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Name was on everything.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
I was, all of a sudden the star, and a
lot of people who have a huge amount of talent
would have a problem with that. Clito never did, not
a twinge of jealousy, envy, passive aggressiveness, none of that, ever,
the opposite.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
He was proud of me.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
He loved me, He loved seeing all of this happened.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
We loved being a.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Part of it.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Cleto Escabido died at fifty nine years old.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
So young.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
When they were kids, they used to stay up late
and watch David Letterman because obviously it was Jimmy's.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Dream and he was the king at the time.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Letter And then when Jimmy got the job in two
thousand and three, he bought he brought Cleto on.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
He's been there ever since.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So all right, Kimmel's never brought out the clarinet?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Has he?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And maybe I just haven't seen it on the show.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
That would be so cool. Maybe he will now this week.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I don't see a lot of.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Trip now, you really don't. Breaking news this morning, Sabrina
Carpenter has yet another gig. She's going to start in
and produce a musical movie based and inspired by Alice
in Wonderland and Gianna. You've got some thoughts on this.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Yeah, you'd assume that she's probably going to play Alice,
but their speculation on social media that she might even
be the Mad Hatter or like the cheshire Cat, because
you know Sabrina, she's kind of goofying out there and
she can do it all.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, maybe she's maybe she'll play everybody.
Speaker 5 (17:58):

(18:27):
would most like to have joined them on stage at
the Sphere.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
I don't know if she'd ever do it, but I
think Taylor would absolutely destroy it. Cool.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
She's a fan of you. She is a fan, and
we're a massive fan of hers.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
I mean, she's the sweetest.

He had several hit songs.

Yeah.

Yeah, same in the Katy Perry video for Last Friday Night.

the time. Yeah, Yeah, he's in it so fun.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Fact, Justin Bieber was posting videos from his giant warehouse
space turned playroom and the studio, and at one point
his wife Hayley, was napping on the couch under a blanket,
and he suddenly stood up and sang to her, wait.

He never stops all of its own. He was doing
nothing for a long time and just got really weird, right,
and now he's just producing and launching stuff left and right.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, he's back on it. Yeah, he had a little
little period there, right, Gianna, If we're talking to.

for a second, Yeah, okay, because that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
It's a play space. Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
When I saw that room and we've looked at it
a few times this week, right with the ballpit and
everything going on, it's.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
A big studio.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It has a stage, has musical equipment, has ball pits,
and he basically sleeps there, has beds.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah, yeah, go ahead. When I see that space, don't
take offense. I think of you, Justin.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
When I think of all the goofy stuff you have
set up at your house up there of North Country,
I think, if you put all that stuff together, you
have a Justin Bieber space.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Yeah. Actually your kids would love a ball pit. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
I set up my house so that I never have
to leave so I know what you're saying. Yeah, like
I never have to go anywhere. You try to get
me to go places during the week. I don't want
to go. No, I just want to stay home because
everything I need is there.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
So put it all together.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Put a little studio in there.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I want to know a fun facts. Yeah, I do

Put a wall around that, bad boy.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
You're welcome anytime I want to go.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's quite the site when.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
I come out of my sauna and I'm in my
underwear and then I get in my cold plunge.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
The neighbors kind of it's weird.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
That's interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
The only time you guys are welcome, Jihanna, you are
welcome to thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
I would also love an egg.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Oh hey, we have eggs. We get seven eggs. A day.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
You have never brought one into us, though.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
I don't think you'd appreciate the egg as much as Gianna.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I love a good egg straight from a chicken.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Can we get back to your report now?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
We are brought to you by Dover Rug at Home.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Second?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So we had John Tafford from Bar Rescue in the
studio this morning, Justine.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
That was so good, wasn't it wasn't?
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Yeah? It was incredible.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yeah, he's great Bar Rescue, great show. A lot of
people excited for that. A lot of people were sending
in questions, which we love. One of them was like,
what's the grossest thing you've seen while doing bar rescue?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
This was a fascinating one.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I went in to do recon in the bar in Austin,
Texas called Headhunters, and I did recon with my wife
and she was wearing open toe heels and the cockroaches
were walking across our feet like on her and we
had a shut down production. It had a Class five infestation.
We had a shut down production tent.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
The building.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, it's crazy the building.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I think I saw a video of that when they
tinted the building.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yeah, you never want to fumigate. Never, But it was great.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
He's in Boston, he's got a bunch of events starting tonight.
And also he brought his bourbon in and did we
get that bottle away from Billy Gianna?
Speaker 5 (25:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, it was the polite thing to do to at
least taste the bourbon while he was sitting there.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I know, But you know how you get justin You
sure ain't kidding about Billy getting drunk on one sip?
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Is that good?
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (25:27):
He famously does, and he doesn't at events too, right, Gianna,
and it's like it's never good.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
Always keep the alcohol away from Billy.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, well I just had a couple of SIPs of
wine and as least said, Donovan pointed out, I'm already loopy.
I'm sorry, that's just who I am.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Okay, what are you doing?
Speaker 14 (25:51):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss One Away Studios. We're back
with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
And we're not only back, but we have the former,
the first Lady of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, our old
friend Lauren Baker's back in studio. She comes in every
year for her Wonder Fund. So welcome back, Lauren.
Speaker 15 (26:08):
Thank you, happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
And would you like a belt of bourbon before we
get going, because John Taffer was here a few minutes ago.
Speaker 15 (26:15):
No, I gotta admit I was a little bit jealous
of you. Bourbon for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, let's here if you want it or if you
need it. But the Wonderfund is an amazing thing. Did
you get involved? Was it twenty seventeen?
Speaker 15 (26:28):
Twenty seventeen, Yeah, we launched it and yeah, eight and.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
A half years ago and now it's Madam CEO.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Yes it is.
Speaker 15 (26:41):
It's a great organization and we're still kind of a startup,
but our mission is to provide care and dignity and
resources and opportunities to every child who's engaged with the
Department of Children and Families, which is our states child
welfare system. And that means there are thirty five thousand
(27:04):
children in every city in town in Massachusetts who are
eligible for Wonderfund resources, Meaning.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
What like, how does it all work? How can children
take advantage? How can families of children in need or
involved with DCF, how can they take advantage of the
program of Wonderfund.
Speaker 15 (27:21):
We do everything that we do in partnership with the
social workers of DCF. So a social worker can make
a request on behalf of any child on their caseload
for emergency essentials like clothing or a backpack or a
winter coat, or they can request funding for any kind
(27:44):
of activity that that child might want to do. So
if they want to play sports, or go on the
eighth grade field trip, or go to prom or take
driver's ed summer camp, whatever they want to do, the
social worker makes the request and we say yes.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
And in some cases these are children who had to
be removed from their homes for their own safety, right,
So it's a sad situation.
Speaker 15 (28:07):
Yeah, no child wants to be involved with child welfare,
no family does. But when a family's in crisis and
the state steps in, DCF is there to ensure the
safety and protection of the child, and the Wonderfund, through
this great partnership we have, can really focus on how
(28:31):
that child feels and what they need to recapture those
moments of childhood that every child deserves.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
And.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
We'll do.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
We'll say yes to anything pretty much, and especially.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
With the holidays coming up.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I mean I've been there as a young child when
there's nothing, but I wasn't in strife like a lot
of young kids are removed from homes fighting for their
own safety, so I can't imagine it. So this is
the perfect time of year for this. Now, what is
the process? How does it work behind the scenes with
all the gifts being put together and being sent out?
Speaker 15 (29:05):
Well, every year, the Wonderfund does a massive holiday gift
drive where we distribute donated holiday gifts to thirty thousand
kids and it's not just one gift, it's everything anything
they want. So we will ask social workers to collect
the actual wish lists of kids and we let we
(29:29):
ask donors to sponsor a child, or ten kids or
a thousand kids, fulfill those wish lists specifically, and then
deliver them to an office, a DCF office, where the
social worker will take it to the child. The other
way we do it is.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
People can go.
Speaker 15 (29:47):
Online and purchase off of our Amazon wish list and
they can buy loose toys, and those toys come to
our warehouse in Newton, and we have volunteers coming over
to on box and sore and pack holiday gifts for kids,
and then they get shipped out to every DCF office
across the state.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
I've seen the videos of the actual operation and it's
so uplifting to watch that knowing these piles of toys
are going to kids that really really need them.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
This is a great organization.
Speaker 15 (30:18):
Thank you, An, They's a great organization.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Are we doing an event together tomorrow night?
Speaker 15 (30:23):
I hope you're going to show up, Billy, because we're
really counting on you.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Okay, Jenny Johnson and I are going to be hosting
it again this year, and it's at the beautiful Lenox Hotel.
I don't know if you've been. It's all newly renovated
and it's just gorgeous. Hey Dan, how you doing so
tomorrow night? Can people still go tomorrow night? Because it's
a beautiful event.
Speaker 15 (30:43):
People can still go. Yes, we have maybe a few
tickets left. It's almost sold out. It is the Lenox
Hotel's Room in your Heart Holiday kickoff party, which is
it's the most fun party of the year. I got
to say, the Lex knows how to throw a party,
and this is really really great and it benefits the
(31:07):
Wonderfund's Holiday Gift Drive. So everybody who comes brings a
gift and we fill literally fill a hotel room at
the Lenox Hotel Okay from Florida ceiling with toys and gifts.
And people can find out about this. They can sign
up at WONDERFUNDMA dot org. Wonderfund.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Have you say this again, because did you say it's
just about sold out? Just about I'd like to walk
into a sellout tomorrow Okay, I'm just saying, So, where
do people go if they want to be at the
event tomorrow night?
Speaker 15 (31:39):
Wonderfundm dot org.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
And for Jenny and I, it's basically our job to
tip everybody upside down and drain them of whatever money
they have.
Speaker 15 (31:48):
Oh, that would be lovely.
Speaker 10 (31:50):
That would.
Speaker 6 (31:52):
No.
Speaker 15 (31:52):
I mean it is so easy, right, It's so easy
to donate a gift or to donate money so he
can buy gifts. Because these are kids who, through no
fault of their own, are living in a really tough situation.
And when when your family's in crisis, what you want
(32:12):
for Christmas or or whatever holiday you celebrate, like, it's
just not a high priority. And a lot of these kids,
if you didn't, if you didn't fulfill their wish list,
no one would.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And you'll know you're doing the right thing. It's the
holiday season and you're doing good. And like tomorrow night,
you'll see your money at work, which is always good.
I know your husband, Charlie old buddy Charlie Baker is uh,
he's flying in for the event.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I'm assuming he is.
Speaker 15 (32:39):
He better?
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Well, there are certain delays and or cancelations going on. Yes,
maybe they put them on a private or at least
they can do with the NCAA. I'm just saying, justin
you had your hand in the air.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
I love the Wonder Fund so much. My wife and
I excuse me, I have a little frog of my throat,
but she inspired me. I want to Amazon, and I
just bought a light up basketball for a teenager and
it's super easy. You just sign into your Amazon and
there's an option that'll send it to the Wonder Fund.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
So it takes two seconds. I just bought it. It
was like twenty five bucks, not a lot of money,
and it's a light up basketball for a team.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Okay, So we want everybody listening to the Billy at
least the morning show right now. Everybody where are they going, Lauren,
so they can immediately make a donation and buy something.
Speaker 15 (33:23):
They're going to wonderfundma dot org.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Yeah, and there's a couple options. There's an Amazon option there.
You just click it right on the homepage. Takes two seconds.
I already place the order, it's already done.
Speaker 1 (33:36):

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Me, how are you doing? Ryan?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Your mock countdown?
Speaker 1 (35:23):

Ten days ago was the laryngitis.
Speaker 7 (35:55):
And I've had the cough, the cold, the sinus for
the past ten days. Guess what, every morning you wake up,
it doesn't get any better.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Good luck.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
That's great, that's great.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
And you said you had a little a cough yesterday.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Right, I can feel a little something. I feel fine,
It's just my voice is a little bit not good.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
So, oh no, you've got to do warm water and salt.
You should be doing it all morning.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I'll do it when I get home. We don't have
salt here.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
There's a cafeteria one level down in the building.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Okay, some marckets of salt.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Okay, good morning, Justin.
Speaker 17 (36:28):
I was wondering if you could answer a question, do
you have chickens lay brown eggs or white eggs? If
you could maybe mention that on the radio or even
in the after podcast. Thanks.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
They are brown eggs of all different sizes. Some are
small and some are big.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Oh yeah, I really want one.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
I'll bring some in. I eat about six a day.
Oh yeah, bring a few wins so we can have
eggs in the morning. They're really delicious. Have you had
like farm raised eggs. Oh, there's a huge difference. They
taste much better and they're much better for you.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Okay, well, you don't give me a lecture.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
I'm just asking for a couple of eggs.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Okay, I'll bring them in, but just know what you're getting.
They're special eggs.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
You have to appreciate the egg.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Okay. With the appreciation, it's an egg.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, Okay, when all is said and done, it's an egg.
Speaker 3 (37:24):

Speaker 4 (37:25):
I'll give you the eggs, Billy, and then you're gonna
report back and you're gonna say that was the best
egg I've ever had. They're fantastic. So you should see
the coup. By the way, she's got it all winterized.
My wife, she's a complete psycho.

I love her.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
But she has heaters in there. The water's heated. They
have a heated like area that they can go in.
They live better than me.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
You have no idea.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It's like a mansion for hens.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah. And it started I know, you know, you probably
don't know.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
It started with I want to get a little coop
with two chickens, and then she ordered nine, and so
the nine came and it was too small, So then
we had to build this big.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Mansion for the chicken.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
Yeah, she ordered the chickens.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
You can order them to be sent in. We gave
two away because they were eating the other.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Nay, are they still beating the spit out of that
one chicken?
Speaker 3 (38:12):
No, we we expelled two of them. We had we
had nine, now we have seven.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Where do they go when they're expelled?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
We gave them to a farm that took them. What
they do is as a pecking order. You haven't had
that term pecking order. So they attack one of them
and we have this giant fat chicken. Her name is Hennifer.
Jennifer is my wife, Hannifer get it. Or she's giant

Family parties, family drama. Gianna was doom scrolling TikTok last night.
Found a list that a woman had her daughter sent
it to her of rules for the holiday parties. It's
completely ridiculous. I'm not even gonna replay it now, but
that was our topic time, right, family drama.
Speaker 3 (39:30):

the only male teacher in this preschool. And one year
we had a Yankees to have Christmas party and everything
was all feminine and I opened something and then someone
opened a Cheesecake Factory gift card. I took it, and
I was like, perfect, No one will switch it with me.
This one older teacher walked on over handed me her

gift and took the gift card. So now I'm the
proud owner of a makeup bag and a candle holder.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
