Speaker 1 (00:56):
Condy. Yeah, you're very total.

Speaker 9 (01:00):
Did you know that I was not born in India?

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, okay. The intro music was a little bit of
a joke of Gandha. You gotta kind of.

Speaker 7 (01:07):
Go with it.

Speaker 10 (01:08):
Hey, there you are, Okay, great, Oh look at you
with your long flowing locks.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I mean, it's just hair.

Speaker 11 (01:15):
Bill.

Speaker 12 (01:19):
Indian people grow hair. It's our specialty everywhere, superpower.

Speaker 10 (01:25):
Not born in India, but certainly Indian roots. So Gandhi,
we gotta ask you a little personal thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:33):
So you travel the world a lot, which is very impressive.
So congratulations on that. And you're traveling with this this
boyfriend dude of yours.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
So what's the deal with that? Anything going on there?
I mean, what do you mean exactly? Well, you know, engagements,
marriage or anything like that.

Speaker 12 (01:55):
No conversations, no, no, no, no, no, no engagement, nothing
like that.

Speaker 9 (02:00):
I don't I'm not really a big fan of marriage.
It's not my thing.

Speaker 13 (02:03):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (02:03):
It looks good on everybody else. I love it for
everybody else, but for me because.

Speaker 9 (02:08):
You know, I don't want to have kids.

Speaker 12 (02:09):
I don't want to do any of that stuff, so
there's no rush and it's not a big, you know
thing for me. I think it's more romantic for someone
to wake up every morning and choose me, no strings attached.

Speaker 9 (02:20):
So I just that's how I like to roll.

Speaker 10 (02:21):
Okay, if you're just tuned in and if you're new
to the show. By the way, Gandhi work with us.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
How many years Gandhi here on the Morning Show?

Okay, we're not going to go there, Gandhi, behave yourself,
behave yourself.

Speaker 12 (02:48):
My gosh, I love it. It's great. I really miss
you guys. I was telling Lisa that earlier. But New
York is awesome. There's always something to do. It's crazy.
You never know if you're gonna get stabbed by someone
in the middle of the street.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
We gotta jump over the rats on your way to work,
and you.

Speaker 9 (03:04):

Speaker 10 (03:08):
Justin was giving me a list of the people who
have been in your studio just the last week alone, like, oh,

Chris Pratt, Kim Petris, and I guess ed Sheeran's dropping
by this morning.

Speaker 9 (03:24):
Yeah, he's going to be here around eight twenty.

Speaker 12 (03:27):
I'm trying to get Lisa to come down and say
hi to him, but she said something about having to work.

Speaker 9 (03:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (03:31):
Oh no, listen, No, she can go whatever she can go,
she can go.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I want to go on record. Okay, justin you're good
with this.

Speaker 10 (03:38):

to go down the hall with you and say hi
to insurance.

Speaker 7 (03:44):
Lisa can do no wrong.

Speaker 9 (03:45):
Oh good, good, good good.

Speaker 3 (03:47):

Winnie was court side at the Celtics game a couple
of nights ago, right, and she kept popping up on TV.
And every time she popped up, she wasn't paying any attention.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
That's a lie.

Speaker 10 (04:15):
That's a lie, and asking anybody should run into Can
I get a picture?

Speaker 1 (04:19):

So it was Sunday nights. Ashley and I were the
host of it. It was on Kiss at like ten
o'clock and when he was our phone screener. But of
course you know her stories about whatever happens in the
shade of the night. With her, we're always wonderful. Yes, yeah,
there's a lot of weird stuff going on.

Wow, lots of stories.

Speaker 10 (05:13):
So, Ganda, you're on cruise ships more than anyone. I
know what's going on with that.

Speaker 12 (05:20):
So our show here has actually partnered with Norwegian Cruise Lines,
so they hook us up with trips and we get
to go and check out all of the different ships.
They have a brand new Italian fleet, so then we
get to see the world.

Speaker 9 (05:32):

Speaker 1 (05:34):
What's your favorite place you've been to.

Speaker 9 (05:36):
Oh, man, I don't know. That's really tough. The Greek
isles are awesome. I love Greece.

Speaker 12 (05:42):
I'm going to Thailand in a month, and I think
that that's going to be the one.

Speaker 9 (05:46):
Wow, Cruisoh, we're just going.

Speaker 12 (05:48):
First time to Thailand, first time, you know. I saw

Now, well yeah, I actually am because we're on in
Philadelphia too, So you know the Sixers, those Phillies. Philly
fans are insane, the biggest sports creeps on the planet.

Speaker 9 (06:28):

Speaker 10 (06:33):

Speaker 10 (06:59):
Well, why don't you guys do New York today before
Lisa has to fly back home.

Speaker 9 (07:03):

what time she has to get out of here. Been
stalking her a little bit, and every time I walk
by you guys are on the air.

Speaker 9 (07:11):
It's crazy.

Speaker 10 (07:11):

the screen smiling and stuff. Oh yeah, his smile looks amazing.

Speaker 9 (07:37):

So go get your tickets and uh yeah, hurry.

Speaker 7 (08:48):

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Martin is kind of a big show. We just mentioned it.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
Yeah, okay, Paul rank On West in the building, I
like that.

Speaker 13 (09:05):
Go Apparently I'm sold out because you kept going You're

Speaker 7 (09:11):
I'm like, no, I'm not. It's like fifty tickets left.
They're done.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You know it would play white music, but we know
they're doing right here. He's here, White Chicks is here.

Speaker 7 (09:25):
Speaking.

Speaker 13 (09:25):
It was a song that I would play and if
I ever do.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
You have to know something there is going to be
a new scary movie.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yes, there's definitely going to be a new scary movie.
I am writing that right now with my brothers.

Speaker 13 (09:39):
We are in the lab and I can definitely say
that we are bringing the next scary movie next summer.

Speaker 10 (09:45):
Now, you got to know that there's a clip from
the original Scary Movie that we play so many times
on this show. If you mind, I'd like to play it,
go for it.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's my childhood best friend's name is Dukie.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
I didn't lie.

Speaker 13 (10:08):
I called him Dookie. That wasn't even his name. It's
just like, what's the name for we did friend Dookie.
But that's when commercials was good. Like I don't know
what what if I was like in today's world, Like
I'm looking for that thing that stands out that fits in,
and I haven't found it yet.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
So I'm I'm looking.

Speaker 13 (10:26):
I'm gonna go look through the super Bowl commercials and
things like that. But if nothing sticks, then, you know,
I think it's important to just make fun of the
world pop culture, you know, everything that's going on today,
and you know, laughter brings us, brings us all together.
So I'm looking forward to just having people in the
theaters laughing hysterically.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
Again like we did when we had the First Game movie.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
We're talking to the famous Marlon Ways.

Speaker 13 (10:49):
Kind of famous parents, not as famous as kiss.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
This is wrong.

Speaker 13 (10:55):
This is a big deal, right because I'm sold out.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
I got like two tickets. I'll be so mad at you.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, we sell out every morning.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
Okay, we're done.

Speaker 13 (11:08):
We're done, is already sold out, no needs the tickets.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
This is a big deal. It's a big deal.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
That came out wrong. Okay, that's exactly We're a big
deal here. When did you decide you were going to
do and pull his goneads?

Speaker 7 (11:28):
Right now?

Speaker 8 (11:29):
Take a look at these, put them right on the table,
shiny things.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Right, yeah, and you hear them hit the table to slap.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
When did you decide yes on a scary movie?

Speaker 7 (11:44):
One?

Speaker 13 (11:44):
We was working on the deal for probably but six months.
It's just something that I really wanted to make happen.
And we were so far in terms of bringing this back,
and you know, especially after all the bad blood that
we went through when they stripped the franchise from and
you know, but the regime change and Jonathan Glickman, who

(12:05):
is the new chairman of meryri Max, you know, he
was like, you know, there's only one way to do
this movie, and that's to bring the Wayans back because
you know, we created Frankenstein. And I've been saying the
only one that knows how to make Frankenstein behave is
doctor Frankenstein. We are Doctor Frankestein. Nobody can you can't
mimic Wayan stuff. That's the great thing we left in

(12:28):
Living Color and season four, Season five, it was done
people's like, I don't what is this? When did the
Living Color turn into Mad TV? This is wild? So
you know, I think we have this special formula that
only we know how to put together because that's how
we grew up, It's how we see the world.

Speaker 7 (12:46):
And so I'm.

Speaker 13 (12:47):
Looking forward to doing Scary Movie six reunited with my
brothers first and foremost. That that's powerful because we haven't
worked together in twenty years.

Speaker 10 (12:54):
Yeah, you mentioned that earlier and I wanted to comment
on it. So you guys still work together the wayans? Yeah,
you still Just.

Speaker 13 (13:00):
I just did Damon show. Papa's House is gonna be
on CBS if you haven't seen the show. It's a
really funny show with him and his son, little Damon,
and I got to go on this show and it
was so cool to see my brother and his son
work together. And I was jealous because I was like,
they're making a lot of money together, and I was

(13:20):
looking at my son, like, you failure, your.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Son, You get out of my house. I want you
to live in my house.

Speaker 13 (13:31):
Like he pretends to live in his dad's house, but
in real life, you really lived in my house and
we ain't making no money. This is a deficit. You
are a liability, and little Damon's an asset. I didn't
tell him this, but I was thinking it all along
the shore, all the time I was eating breakfast. So
I'm gonna be on that show March twenty fourth on
CBS Papa's House, and it's a really funny episode where
I play Damon's shady brother Melvin.

Speaker 10 (13:53):
As far as I'm concerned, there's never been a show
like in Living Color. Oh ag one of the greatest
things ever.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
I'm concerned.

Speaker 13 (14:01):
And one day, you know, we're gonna do some kind
of version of I think Wayne's Family Variety Show is
something that I think the.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
World way ahead of its time. Yeah, so good. It
had d Wayne's name on it. That's what's going on.

Speaker 13 (14:14):
You know. It didn't just come into Keenan had a
great vision. Damon was a wonderful like General Kim wrote
some great sketches like you know, and then they found
great talent like Jim Carrey wrote, Yes, David Allen Greer
and Tommy Davis and Jamie Fox, myself, Sean j Lo

(14:35):
and her butt. We No, No, it's been around. I
knew that. I said, that's a star. I don't know
what I used to fly from. I was in school
with Howard University, and I used to fly to be
in the end credits of a Living Color And I
don't know.

Speaker 7 (14:54):
I know there's some o pp and it. There was
some great music stars, But the whole time.

Speaker 13 (14:58):
I just kept looking at the fly girls butts, like,
do you understand what I'm seeing here?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Guys?

Speaker 7 (15:04):
This is the show.

Speaker 13 (15:05):
I was Magellan. I knew the world was around and
nobody believe me.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Well, you mentioned school.

Speaker 10 (15:11):
Is it true you went to the same high school
with like Jennifer Aniston.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
I mean, I've got a list of a Tennessee shall.

Speaker 13 (15:17):
Yeah, Timothy, and Timothy is way younger than me. Oh yeah,
I would have stole his lunch money and always and
Brody two time Oscar winn to congrats. Hey Brody, congratulations.
I'm I'm very proud of you. When I see you,
I want to rob you of one of your statues.
You don't need to you being greedy, But I'm very.

Speaker 7 (15:34):
Proud of him.

Speaker 13 (15:35):
He was a year younger than me, and you know,
he's always a hard worker. And you know, I think
for me, I don't think people I haven't scratched the
service of all, I I just can't wait till I
have a movie coming out with It's called Him. It's
a psychological heart thriller. It's a Jordan Peel Monkey Paul production,

(15:56):
directed by a great director, Justin Tipping, and starring Tyreek
Withers with myself, and it is a powerful movie and
I can't wait for people to see that.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
Now.

Speaker 10 (16:04):
We do have to mention a correction on the show
This Morning You because everybody.

Speaker 7 (16:08):
I'm not saying us no, because you guys are a
big spread. Whatever you say here bumbus the truth.

Speaker 10 (16:16):
Everybody's been saying that there's going to be a White
Chicks movie.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
They're lying.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
They're lying there. How did they get that short?

Speaker 13 (16:23):
Because someone asked me on the carpet when we went
out ina a c P or ward last year, when
I mean this year, when I won for my guest
star episode for bel Air, they asked me what I
would we do another White Chicks? And I was like, yes,
we would. You know, I'm thinking, after first, let me
do scary movie and then you know, we'll tackle White Chicks.

(16:43):
And they're like, oh my god, they're doing it. Listen
to people, there's no deal. So none of this is happening,
because you know, before I sit in seven hours of makeup,
we gotta sit down and make a deal.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
So I'll let people know.

Speaker 13 (16:57):
If I when I announced it on my social media
that this is happening, like I did with Scary Movie,
and I took the picture with the ghost face and
I announced that we are doing this scary movie.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
Six the waynes are definitely back on board.

Speaker 13 (17:09):
That's a done deal. That's a done deal. So if
we do the same thing with white chicks. When it
comes together, people are talking about it, but we nothing,
you know, signed, When the ink is still not signed,
I don't I don't get excited about it.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
You've got enough going on right now. And yeah, I
gotta ask.

Speaker 7 (17:24):
And I'm not that excited to do seven hours of makeup.

Speaker 13 (17:26):
You know, I love white women, but god damn, seven
hours of makeup come on, sas I want to play
black man. Black black man means no makeup rolls in.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
It comes through the game. You know what I'm saying.
I got to ask you earlier on the show.

Speaker 10 (17:40):
We're asking people to call in and send messages about
the album and that they could listen to for an
entire year, just that one album. If there was one
album that you had to listen to for an entire year,
what would it be?

Speaker 4 (17:51):
I know.

Speaker 9 (17:55):
From the Planet Fitness Kids, One Away Studios.

(18:24):
The Social Network, which was written by Ben Mesick, good
friend of the Billy and Lisa Show.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Good morning Ben, Hey, good morning Billy. How are you
good now? Ben?

Speaker 10 (18:32):
First things first, you were the very first person on
Lisa Dunnovan's book Club, and now it's international.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
It's amazing. Listen, it's the best book club in America
for sure.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
I love it, Ben, help launch it.

Speaker 10 (18:44):
So yeah, Oh, she's all over the country. Now she's
going to Tampa, She's going everywhere.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
I mean, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (18:52):
So I got to ask you ben, when there's a sequel,
do you get another.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Hit as in what.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
Check?

Speaker 6 (19:02):
I do get a checked? Yeah, you know, I get accredation.
You know, it has to say something about the story
based on or something like that, and you know they
are it is being pushed as a sequel, even though
it's going to be take place I think about fifteen
years later. But it's uh, yeah, I'm I'm as involved
as as you know. One who created the first one would.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Be yeah, oh yeah, wait a minute, did you write
the sequel?

Speaker 11 (19:31):
No?

Speaker 6 (19:31):
So basically, Aaron, you know, has been trying to figure
this out and crack this story for a while, and
he and I go back and forth, and I knew
he was working. I knew kind of the direction he
was going. But it's not No, I did not write a.

Speaker 7 (19:44):
Book or anything.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
And so it's really, uh, it's Aaron's script and he's directing.
So it's going to be hit ballgame, but it's going
to be related to the social network. I think as
much as Sony can relate it, just because that was
such a cultural moment, I think you would say, so, yeah,
it's it's his own story, but it's based on true
events and it will have. You know, I hope Jesse

(20:09):
will be back. I can't imagine it with a different
Mark Zuckerberg. So you know, it'll be the same characters really,
the way we drew them. So it's pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
It isn't so much has happened.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh god, yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
About listen, you can you can pretty much blame Facebook
for everything.

Speaker 10 (20:28):
Well, I think what happened with Facebook after the movie,
the social network, it just blew.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
Up, blew up. When we wrote that. When that movie
came out, you know, Facebook was a little thing. It
hadn't ip o' yet. Mark was not the new Mark
you see now.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
It was even a little thing on the Harvard campus.
I mean, you know, nobody.

Speaker 6 (20:46):
Knew, nobody knew about it and uh, and so it's
such a it became such a big company afterwards. That
was like its origin story. It's like the Marvel universe.
That was like the origin story of Wolverine. And now
we can see the Avengers assemble.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
It really changed, It changed the world.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah, yeah, I think it did. And uh and now
now we'll see what he does with it. But I
think it's gonna be much more about you know, where
does that go? Like the Mark wants to rule the
world and change the world, and then he really did. Yeah,
and then a lot of sort of. I mean, you
could look at it negative or positively, but I think
knowing Aaron, it'll be It'll be somewhat dark and funny

(21:23):
at the same time.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
You know, Justin brought up a good point the other day.

Speaker 10 (21:26):
Do you think the sequel is going to include Zuckerberg's.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Like UFC fighting and jiu jitsu and everything.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
Now he's transformed, He's transformed into this like you know,
you're gonna have to work out all the time and
wear a necklace and his hair, and yeah, I think
it will. But I think to some extent it probably
you know, a little bit of the transformation of someone
from like a robotic nerd to who we see today.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
Now, aren't you close enough to Jesse Eisenberg at this
point or even justin Timberlake.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
You just give them a call and Askham, So, are
you going to be in the sequel or not?

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (22:01):
I know, Jesse.

Speaker 6 (22:02):
I haven't kept up with Justin. That would have been cool,
but no, Jesse and I have kept up because I'm
doing this movie with the Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder.
I think I talked about last time, and Jesse is
friends with them, so I've kept up with him. He's
he's brilliant. I think he's just as genius. I mean,

(22:22):
I could ask him, but I think it's easier just
I mean, it'll it'll come out. I'm sure he's trying
to figure out, you know, I'm sure. Listen, how can
he not come back? It's the best role ever, and
I'm sure he'll come back.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
That would be my guest.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Do you know the timing of this, like when they
are slatings, Oh.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
Yeah, this is all happening. We're in they're in casting
and and they've already I mean, this is this is
a thing, you know, it's it's actually I would bet
they're filming by the fall. That would be my guest
at the end of the summer. So I bet this
comes down next year.

Speaker 10 (22:52):
That would be great. Ben, I'm thinking of you. You know,
it'd be great. You could talk to your buddy Aaron.
I don't think I didn't notice you call him by
a first Darrn. It would be awesome if they you
got them to give you a cameo in the movie.
I mean, you wrote the book that created the movie.
You wol at least deserve a cameo.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
I mean, listen, I'm I'm with you, Billy, I really,
I really, well.

Speaker 10 (23:16):
Maybe they can have Chess Eisenberger that beat the spit
out of you in the movie.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
Yeah, a good realistic scene at this point. You know,
I can reprise my role as sexiest bachelor from that.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
To bring that back.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah. Yeah, you know what where ye.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Give me plug your new book it's coming out right
at the beginning of twenty twenty second.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
Well it's it's it's coming out in the spring of
next year. But it's the Chess scandal, the cheating scandal
of Magnus, Carlton and Hans Nieman, which was this big
cheating scandal in chess, and it's all about.

Speaker 8 (23:53):
That's the Yes, sorry, you already.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Booked for the book books.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
He's booked for the booklet.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Okay, yeah, man.

Speaker 6 (24:02):
A lot of fun. And that's a Nathan Fielder movie.
Nathan Fielders writing and directing. If you know his work,
I'm sure there'll be a lot of anal beads and
we can only hope.

Speaker 13 (24:11):
What up is Jalen Brown from the Boston Susics And
we're back with Bailly and Lisa in the morning, we kiss,
went away, Billy and Lisa, and we've all them.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
So Lisa Donovan is sitting on a survey about dating
and what coupon's lease.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
This survey had two thousand people in the study of
US adult singles and dating, and more than half fifty
six percent said that it's perfectly acceptable to use a
coupon on a first date.

Speaker 10 (24:38):
Now, I got to start this conversation by saying, by
the way, my wife Michelle would not hesitate to putting
a coupon on the table when the.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Bill came, but on a first date, probably not.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Yeah, So here's another little interesting statistic. A nearly half
forty eight percent say they're happy to split the bill
on a date. Women are less likely than men to
one a second date if they paid half the bill.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, I'll clip with you, but I'm back you're not
coming down.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
They also say that a third say that being cheap
is when someone avoids basic spending like tipping, and feel
like cheap is also when it affects others negatively. So
there's a big difference between being frugal and being cheap.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
Oh yeah, that would be a bad sign. Too.

Speaker 10 (25:24):
If you're out on a first date, you pick up
the tab, but you don't tip.

Speaker 7 (25:29):
Yeah, I mean I would overtip.

Speaker 10 (25:30):
Yeah, you want to impress the person to some degree.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Also, they're saying that people are not impressed when a
lot of people flash a lot of cash to impress
on a first date.

Speaker 9 (25:41):
Oh well, yeah right.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
I agree.

Speaker 15 (25:44):
I don't need to just spend three hundred.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Dollars in a first date.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
They say an average for a first date is one
hundred and twenty five dollars. That's what people are comfortable spending.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
That's acceptable.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
I think if you're in a drink, I think that's
a good number.

Speaker 10 (25:56):
Yeah, but I think it's a problem if you're going
to the date thinking about what you're going to spend, Like,
just go on the date.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Well, you can pick a different restaurant, you know, an
expensive one versus kind of media one.

Speaker 7 (26:07):
You know.

Speaker 15 (26:08):
But to me, fait Bill, you're dated when last time
you dated you were a very successful.

Speaker 4 (26:13):
Person that had fun.

Speaker 15 (26:15):
I'm saying people like around my age like things are
some people can't afford to spend three or on one
date so expensive.

Speaker 10 (26:22):
But when I was a kid, I would literally work
and save money until I had enough to take a
girl lot when you were a kid.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
It costs ten cents to go the movies. It's a
good point.

Speaker 8 (26:32):
Like you could actually go on a date with coins
right for the whole with coin It's like an old
Western and on the table.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
If you don't have a lot of money, you don't
want to spend a lot of money on a first date.
You can always just depending on where you pick. Yeah,
you can pick a really expensive restaurant.

Speaker 7 (26:51):
You can go to, like you know Chilis.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, I go Chili all the time.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Chili.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
You can go to the ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
You love the ninety nine?

Speaker 2 (27:00):
We love it.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Don't you get free cheese and crackers?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well you get popcorn, free popcorn, the cheese and crackers.

Speaker 15 (27:04):
I believe in one ninety nine.

Speaker 7 (27:05):
But you have to deal.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yeah you know.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Okay, Now let me ask you this, Lisa. You're on
you're on a date, first date. Second guy pulls out
a coupon? What do you do?

Speaker 7 (27:17):
Would you again?

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Okay, you're full of least you would judge this guy?

Speaker 9 (27:21):
I just did. At this stage of my life, I just.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
I would like.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
To be I like people being a frugal.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
I don't like people being cheap, right, you know, So
if a guy is gonna like put the coupon out,
I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (27:36):
Lisa's not going on a first date where they accept coupons.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Okay, that's another part.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Okay, you have to be in a place that takes
what about.

Speaker 7 (27:44):
A gift card.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Oh if a guy use a gift card, and I
think that's totally great and fine, that's that's money.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
I would until I was out alone.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
No, I think I would be okay with that. Okay, yeah,
that'd be cool.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
All right, Well, I see I I put the gift
card in the in the coupon in the same char
to on a first date.

Speaker 10 (28:04):
Yeah, that's another thing. My wife Michelle would have no problem.
Said no, let's she will actually try to talk me
into going someplace because we have a gift card.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
And I'm like, well you go someplace real.

Speaker 9 (28:16):
Oh my god, I'm the same way. Let's go ahead
to let get.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
On the checks.

Speaker 15 (28:23):
Well, well, recently we had Jimmy and from Quin from
Fuji and he was gracious enough to get some gift cards. Yeah,
the new Mason, Me and my boyfriend went and I
was like I got a gift card, wasn't at.

Speaker 17 (28:39):
First?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean I would go out
on a second day with really yeah, yeah, if he.

Speaker 8 (28:46):
Used a coupon, you would not go on a second
day with a coupon.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I did not say coupon.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
I said I would not go out on a second
date with a guy whof he used a coupon.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
But gift card, the gift card, I would be. I
would be fine.

Speaker 10 (28:57):
Gift cards kind of okay, Yeah, I regift the gift cards.

Speaker 15 (29:02):
Oh can you a gifterent to me?

Speaker 4 (29:04):
Well, you get a lot of your mails for free.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
No, I don't.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
That is the work in the restaurant. I'm not trying
to throw a shot.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
Big misconception. My biggest end of month bill is restaurants.

Speaker 15 (29:16):
Okay, Well, I used to serve Billy at a restaurant
a lot and he never paid.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
So okay, that's an exception to the Yeah see what
I mean, Boston.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Everybody get and we're back with a Billy and Lisa
in the morning.

Speaker 11 (29:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Kiss.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Well.

Speaker 10 (29:32):
The topic this morning, I guess, is budget dating, especially
on the first date, and especially if that date of
yours is putting coupons on the table, but we'll take
general first date nightmare stories. Uh, we'll start with the
Kendle who's checking in from Hanover in Massachusetts.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
A good morning, Kendall.

Speaker 18 (29:50):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
What have you got for us?

Speaker 18 (29:54):
I was just calling to say I love a gift card.
I think it's perfectly acceptable to use on a date
as well as you are leaving a generous tip. You're
not paying the whole bill, leave a good tip.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, that's a good point. On the gift card.

Speaker 10 (30:07):
If you're using a gift card, you always over tip
or give more tip than you normally would have. I
didn't realize that because you're not spending as much money,
it's not going you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It's just you're doing the right thing.

Speaker 15 (30:18):
No, I think you can give twenty percent of whatever
the bill was so you don't have to give more.
But if the bill was one hundred and you had
a fifty all a gift card, you would tip one
hundred and not fifty.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
And if you don't need to tip like fifty on
one hundred, I.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
Think we're all in agreement that a gift card is
okay even on a first date.

Speaker 1 (30:34):
Right, if you've got the gift card, why not use it.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
It's money.

Speaker 5 (30:37):
I disagree, Okay, it's okay. I just wouldn't. I wouldn't
on a first date when I'm trying to impress.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yeah, a girl, I just wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
I can see that I wouldn't either. I'm just saying
it's okay for everybody.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
Second date, all.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
Gift cards, it gets to the second date.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yeah, it's all off the table by that.

Speaker 19 (30:55):
Your sister went on a date with a guy and
he picked her up and they have to go back
to his house because he had coupons for the movie
and a restaurant, and needless to say, she.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Never went out with him again.

Speaker 19 (31:07):
Yeah, approvals, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 14 (31:11):
Coupons for the movie.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Oh my god, they sell those gift cards dinner in
a movie. My wife and I get those for Christmas
every year.

Speaker 7 (31:18):
No way, dinner in a movie.

Speaker 10 (31:20):
But this guy reacts back home because he had a
coupon for the movie.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Oh boy, Yeah, there's a red flag. It could be
a sign of what's to come.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, definitely right.

Speaker 17 (31:30):
Yeah, yeah, went on a date with a firefighter from
the South.

Speaker 11 (31:34):
Sure.

Speaker 14 (31:35):
He was so sweet and so nice. After we went.

Speaker 17 (31:38):
Out to dinner, he took me back to his house
and we're sitting on the couch chatting when his girlfriend
birth into the house, called me every lovely name in
the book, and eventually the cops had to be called
to get her out and to get me safely out.

Speaker 14 (31:52):
We had no idea. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
That's a situation.

Speaker 10 (31:56):
Yeah, that's a good first date story, right then, cots
ca Yeah, in the fact that you went back to
the house.

Speaker 15 (32:02):
You know, okay, I'm okay if you have a coupon,
as long as you don't have a girlfriend.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Yeah, used the coupon, but don't have a girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, I love it. When they crushed the door.

Speaker 11 (32:14):
I have a good one about the coupons. Went on
a date. When it was time to pay, he said
about splitting fifty to fifty. I said, no problem. When
the waitress came over, he pulled out a loyalty cards
and a coupon, so it was a fifty percent off
his entree. Plus he has points on his lids, be

(32:36):
cars off the bill, so.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Date, you know, he's a loyal customer.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
But that's just the next level that.

Speaker 10 (32:44):
Meanwhile, he's using the loyalty points and for his own
half of the day.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Oh my god, that's like a creep that's so creepy.

Speaker 15 (32:52):
He could have put that on the top and then
split whatever was let her use it. Yeah, yeah, here,
keep it to yourself until the time.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
You know, you know what's funny about this this topic
time today is you know, we found this study and
we you know, we talked about it, and I was
thinking to myself, people really do this?

Speaker 7 (33:11):
Is this?

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Is this something that's really happening, and it is crazy.

Speaker 20 (33:15):
So I was casually seeing this guy and was you know,
we were on a crust couple of first dates.

Speaker 14 (33:20):
I think it's my er second and I got one
on her breakfast. He got a couple of things. I'm
pretty sure you got two laundries at breakfast.

Speaker 20 (33:29):
And I genuinely forgot my wallet in the car and
I expressed that out loud and he I could tell
he was frustrated, and he looked at me, and I said,
what's wrong?

Speaker 14 (33:37):
If he looked at me dead in the face of
my you know, I can't keep paying for you. I
was aghast.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
Oh, well that ended.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
I'm always shocked when I hear these stories. This really happens.

Speaker 5 (33:51):
Well, you wonder why so many people have such trouble dating. Yeah,
that's all you hear about, you know, the dating world.
You can't find somebody. Well, it's reasons like this.

Speaker 20 (34:00):
I have never been turned off more in my life.
When I had been dating this guy for six months,
this guy expressed to us our waiter, that it was
his first day on the job. We have been great customers,
We were so awesome. Nice boyfriend gets the bill he's
signing his him and he goes, yeah, I'm not giving
that guy a tip.

Speaker 14 (34:18):
I was like, excuse me. I think we lasted for
a couple more weeks after that.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Why did he want to give me a tip?

Speaker 5 (34:25):
He probably messed up the order. I was asking Winny
about this early because she used to be a server.
That's kind of an old trick for servers where if
you mess up at a table, maybe you forgot something,
you kind of maybe throw it in there because you
feel that, oh, I just started it's my first.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Week the kitchen.

Speaker 7 (34:42):
Those are server tricks. So I'm really busy back there.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Not that that's right or wrong, but I'm just assuming
that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
You gotta be nice.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
You gotta be nice to the waiters, you know, what
I mean, Bill, I.

Speaker 10 (34:54):
Never believed in the water thing. Okay, dude, I just had.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
A bottle of water in the car. Leave me alone
and bring me a drink.

Speaker 10 (35:06):
No, that's really a fat peep of mine that I
don't know when it happened. And I know restaurants do
it for money, right because then they without telling you.
If you say I'll just have sparkling, they bring you
a giant bottle.

Speaker 17 (35:18):
No.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
But they're not as aggressive as they used to be.
They really aren't. They always offer you tap water within
the mix, which I appreciate, and most most service come
over and they're like, I'm sure you just want the
top water.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Yeah, I mean they know they get it.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Like when did it become a course?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Because it raises the bill, like I have.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
My water, where's my drink?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Some people do like sparkling water, they get the whole bottle.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Yeah, I don't drink, so that's your drink.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Okay, it's not mine.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
That's okay.

Speaker 15 (35:47):
But they don't know that you're going to assume that
you're a freak for Cosmo.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
All day. You're not doing me any favors. I've had
water all day. I will I'm here to relax. I
would like a cocktail. He seems very relaxed.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
Yeah, actually almost unrelaxed.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Guys.

Speaker 21 (36:11):
One of my first aid horror stories is with a
man I met online. We went to a Mexican restaurant.
The vibes were good. He was super sweet, and we
