Billy a Lisa?

Speaker 13 (05:43):
Every morning?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Kis went wait, this is quickly becoming one of my
favorite segments on the show. It's the headline segment and
justin you have got headlines.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Yeah, and they could be real or fake. I'll read
the headline. You guys tell me whether you think it's
a real story or if I made it up.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's easy and people can play along.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
You play along as well. Coming out of Thanksgiving, Ocean
Spray investigating viral Thanksgiving videos that show cans containing water
instead of instead of cranberry sauce. It is watery, but
there should be sauce in the can.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I'm gonna say fake because I think I would have
seen this story.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Really, But that's just my guess. All right, I'm maning decision.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
I know I'm gonna I'm gonna go with I'm gonna
go with Bill on this. I'm gonna say it's fake.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
With job.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
With you. Yeah, the mus yeahst is investigating after several
people posted Thanksgiving videos as they opened the cans and
they only found water. Cans of water. Look at that water.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
Look is not not open four cans?

Speaker 4 (07:01):
So who's doing it? There's an investigation. Crazy as to
where it came from.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
We had an inside job, right because they have access
to the canning.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
It could be a mistake, a screw up.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, maybe it's just a screw up.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
Yeah, but there were several men in the plant. So okay,
we'll follow this story, all right. How about this headline
woman says she went to the wrong crystal shop after
being busted with crystal meth, says she was just looking
for clear quartz.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I'm going to go fake on this one.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, I mean, it's not a bad defense, right, right,
she had crystal meth, but she said she was she
was going to the crystal shop. She went to the
crystal shop. What do you think Bill, I'm gonna say fake. Yeah,
both say fake? Yeah? Okay, yeah, that one. That one's
definitely we're on the board. Definitely made that one.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Okay, that sounds like a vat Yeah, all.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Right, rail of fake headlines. A rabbit in Atlanta rescued
an entire family from a house fire.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
A rabbit in Atlanta rescued an entire family?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
That real? Or did I make that story up? You
hear about dogs doing this? Yeahs I had.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
A rabbit, and I don't know if a rabbit would
be able to do this, because.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm telling you I've always had the theory that animals
are on the rise.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I'm gonna go yes, right, I'm gonna go yes too,
because you can slightly train rabbits slightly.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Well, you had one, so you'd know I had one.
So you're both saying a real story, yes, all right.
A pet rabbit saved a woman and her family from
a house fire near Atlanta this past week. She woke
up in the middle of the night to her bunny
jumping around making lots of noise. It turned it turned out.
It turns out the back porch was on fire.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
She got everyone out, including her ninety two year old mother.
She got the rabbit out to and even had enough
time Billy to save the family's Christmas gifts that were there.
Oh that's good. Good, here's the whole home on it.
In one of the firefighters, he was jumping in the
cage like he never had.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
He was inside the kitchen where the fire was.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
He knew something was happening, and he started jumping and jumping. Fears.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
They had a warming fire in the evening and thought
they had full exting shirt on a wooden deck and
a metal barrel.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
It was the first one that I pulled a hole.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Usually it's a dog.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
This time it was a rabbit in a cage.

Speaker 14 (09:19):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Yeah, he was a good boy.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, if i'm dad, I'm a little humiliated because you know,
the rabbit had to.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Save the family. Be careful with those fires, Yeah, you
gotta be careful, all right. Last one here, real or
fake headline. A man runs a half marathon while wearing
one hundred and thirty seven T shirts.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm going to say this is real.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
One hundred and thirty seven shirts.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
A friend of one of my kids one time wore.
He would just put more and more underwear.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
On and he didn't know putting on one hundred.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Pairs of We have the Runs or something. He put
him on a package.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
No, yeah, it's really weird, but it's funny.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
I'm saying real.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'm saying real. I'm saying real.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah, I'm gonna say real. You're saying real too? Yeah? Absolutely,
yeah about that. You know what led me to reel
is like, who made up one hundred and thirty seven?
You don't make that number up? Yeah, sometimes you gotta listen,
listen to the way it's worded. But how about this
David record breaker Rush is back with another world record.
This time he ran a half marathon with one hundred

(10:27):
and thirty seven T shirts on. It looks like he
had a fat suit on. Yeah, his head appears very
small compared to the rest of his torso, his arm
stick out, and he needs someone else to get a
water bottle to his face. His little montage of him
running the race thirteen point one miles to go twelve
minutes for one mile. I can't actually get into my mouth,
am I right?

Speaker 13 (10:44):
Ping?

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Geek?

Speaker 8 (10:45):
He's asleep a little over an hour in my right
shoulder is the most painful thing right now.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Seven miles fo're halfway point. Now I'm getting hot. It's
a lot of shirts and why not one? Right? Maybe
he just kept putting them on until he felt like
that was the limit of T shirt.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, well you had to go bigger and bigger and
bigger shirts.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Right. Well, the end of the day, it's T shirt.

Anyway, that's what's going on. And we've talked a lot

first four episodes are out and there's a new record
set more than fifty nine million views. Fifty nine million
views in its first five days. And you get three
more episodes. This is big for you. Listen for you
justin three more episodes on Christmas Day.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
That's big. Cannot wait. I did see that Joe Carrey,
who plays Steve Harrington on Stranger Things from Newburyport, was
in Newburyport this week. Oh really. He was at a
coffee shop up there. I think it was named Olibya's
or Olives Coffee Shop. Oh cool. He took a selfie
with some of the workers there. Yeah. He comes home
pretty frequently. Yeah, to Newburyport. I mean he had that
song that we played on Kiss.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I like that song.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Yeah, And he was so excited to harr a song
on Kiss Went Away because he grew up in a Newburyport.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Well, Joe, if you're listening, feel free. You can buy
the studios anytime you want stop by.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
I think he can now that Stranger Things is out,
or maybe he has to wait until it's done. Well,
Netflix keeps it tight a ight lock Yeah, these bo people.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
So there's a mentalist guy. Ohs, the mentalist is getting
so much attention. There was an episode a couple of
weeks ago that featured Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Gronk, and
somehow Justin sent me this video. All of a sudden,
my son Chris is in the room with these three
guys and the mentalist Chris Costa, and I'm like, how
does this happen?

Speaker 4 (15:02):
I put the video on at my house. All my
friends were there, and I'm like, watch this guy. So
they're showing you know, Tom and Gronk and you know
he reads Tom's mind and all that, and then there's
Chris just sitting at the table with a bunch of
cards with Gronk. I go, that's Billy's son. Yeah, And
then it went one step further.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah, because the mentalist was at Barstool headquarters yesterday and
he read one of the employee's minds. I think the
kid's name was Dante, and asked him to think of
a friend, and he picks it up here this.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Moment, right, you have no idea who you're going to
think of. You don't know yet.

Speaker 10 (15:37):
Only when I snap my fingers. You're gonna think of
that one person right now? Did you just decide right
in that moment?

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yes, pick a letter in this person's firstname. Just grab
a letter out, just like I'm just gonna grab on out.
You got one? R? Are you even R?

Speaker 10 (15:49):
You didn't decide on a person until I snap my fingers, right,
You didn't write this down.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
You didn't wish for this. Nobody could know. Initials are
the same, aren't they? What's his name?

Speaker 7 (16:01):
Chris? Chris?

Speaker 14 (16:02):
What now?

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Chris wasn't in the room. I don't even think it
was in toime.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Is Chris friends with Dante's.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
How do they know each other? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
We're gonna find out, because right after nine o'clock, we've
got my son Chris calling.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Into the show. Yeah, I text you Chris when I
saw I couldn't believe it. I go, is this you?
And he goes you do. My phone is exploding right
now as soon as the video went out. But yeah,
it was Chris. Maybe this is the end with port
I know that's we need to get on Chris about that.
By the way, heads up.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Chris comes out in June.

Speaker 4 (16:32):
Yeah, we've got to reach.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Out to Dante, who can reach out to Portnoy. And
then Portnoy comes on the show for the holidays. Maybe
you can bake a cookie or something.

Speaker 14 (16:39):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
The difference here though, you got Chris Costa friends with
Dante from Barstool, possibly getting Portnoy, and then you got
his dad Bill. Plus I'll be cooking in the TV
diner a kitchen with Dante. Yeah, and then there's that.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
By the way, speaking of my friends, a happy birthday
to Mike Rockett. While we're thinking birthday, they Mike, Yeah,
it's his birthday today. We're having a birthday dinner tonight
shot by chef Dante.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
So how about this.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
The mentalist guy Ohs is calling into this show tomorrow morning.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
Can we put them?

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Can we can we do something with it. I don't
think he can read our minds over the phone thin either.
We can ask Chris at nine to ten. But it's
pretty cool. He's on Howich Stern right now. Then he's
doing Us tomorrow morning. He's doing Jimmy Fallon tomorrow night.
He was at Barstool yesterday. So we beat Fallon. We
beat Fallon. That's the only read I get there. Yeah,
we beat talent.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
And by the way, ohs the Mentalist is going to
be at Chevalier right down the street in Medford December twentieth.
That'd be a fun show to go. Do you've already
got tickets justin.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, I'll be there. I'm wondering what it's going to be.
If you're gonna pull people from the audience, Well, of
course he is. Ye, audience can be read. Oh you've
got to make it so you get pulled. I don't
think my mind can be read.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
Why.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
I don't know. I can't be hypnotized. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I think I I think my mind is strong. It's
probably best for people who would read your mind. They
don't want to know what's in there.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Now. It's a scary place.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, Hey, Sidney Sweeney on fallon this week, says they
have finally wrapped up shooting on the new season of
U Fouri.

Speaker 13 (18:14):
I wrapped the top of November.

This is it.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
You never know, We don't know, you never know. Howd
A feel was sweet?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
We're bittersweet.

Speaker 13 (18:24):
It was most of the crew I had worked with
since I was twenty when I did the pilot.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
So every single time.

Speaker 13 (18:30):
I'd go back, I felt like I was going home
and I was getting to see everybody.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
You get to know everyone's family, you do because we've worked.

Speaker 13 (18:36):
For so long together. We've been filming since February.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Hey, when's the new White Lotus season coming out?

Speaker 12 (18:40):

I think we have to wait.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
We won't see that until twenty twenty six. We know
where it's going to be, right in France. Yeah, Viva
la France. By the way, I'm assuming they'll start filming
next year and then maybe the end of twenty twenty six. Maybe.

I'll be here all morning. That's good there.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Hey, the president of the Kansas City Chiefs is finally
talking about how the team behind the scenes deals with
Taylor Swift being at Chiefs games.

Speaker 9 (19:59):
My job on in this was and I told Travis's like, look,
we're going to treat you in a relationship with the
same respect that we treat any other player in coach's relationship.
It's a relationship like we're not going to monetize it.
We're not going to go out there and go crazy.
You know, for a couple of years, you know, we
all those shots you see of Taylor in the stadium, Right,

(20:19):
he scored a touchdown, it makes a catch, it goes
to Taylor. Especially the first year, we never showed Taylor
on our big boards in our stadium.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
Really never.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
It was respectful. It's like, we're not going to do that,
like we're not taking advantage of this relationship. I joked
with him early on in the first year, we never
played a Taylor Swift song in the stadium when she's
in the building. Travis, to his credit, is all about
team and he's all about the guys, and he's all
about being a part of a team and not being separate.

(20:52):
And he said that separates me, like when we're playing
a game, when we're in that stadium, it's about us.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
I'm really glad he cleared that up.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah, I'm glad.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
There was a period where the people were taking shots
at Taylor and that you had no control. Absolutely well,
the networks who kept putting her on Now we don't
even know if she's there or not. They don't show
her on TV, right, and much higher security when she
is and Lisa Kim Kardashian has her own commandments.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Now well she's doing a masterclass and it launches tomorrow.
So she gave us a little tease and we actually
like these. She says, you are the product. They prove it,
you perfect it. Define yourself before others do. Bill, don't
follow the feed, be the feed. Turn failure into strategy.
Your customer is your co founder. Culture sets the time.

(21:37):
Know you're worth than ad tax empires are built before dawn.
And number ten is because I said, so you know what.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
I am the feed, Well it's better than the ten
crack commandments. The better to follow those commandments in the
ten thing absolutely every single day. They'll get high in
your own supply. Never never. We're brought to you by
Wilson Farm. Just the season.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
From the Planet Fitness, Kiss one O eight studios, We're
back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
This moment, right, you have no idea who you're gonna
think of. You don't know yet.

Speaker 10 (22:37):
Only when I snap my fingers. You're gonna think of
that one person right now? Did you just decide right
in that moment?

Speaker 7 (22:43):
Yes, pick a letter in this person's firstname.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
Just grab a letter out, just like I'm just gonna
grab one out.

Speaker 7 (22:47):
You got one?

Speaker 13 (22:48):
Are?

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Are you even r You didn't decide on a person
until I snap my fingers, right. You didn't write this down.
You didn't wish for this. No, we could know. Initials
are the same, aren't they. What's his name?

Speaker 7 (23:02):
Chris?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Okay, that's my son, Chris Costa. By the way, who's
on the phone right now?

Speaker 4 (23:11):
Chris? Did you know this? What's happening? Do you know
this kid? This isn't some sort of a ay thing,
is it?

Speaker 7 (23:18):
I had no idea. It's one of the craziest experiences
in my life. I know the kids.

Speaker 12 (23:21):
Dante's a friend of mine, has been a friend of
mine for a while and has been at barstool for
a while. But under no circumstances that I expect to
wake up or go to my phone tomorrow. Yesterday and
see my name come up on an O's video.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Yeah, so it was on the Barstool Instagram. Ohs is
the mentalist. Yeah you know who that is. He can
basically read people's minds. He's done it to a ton
of celebrities. He walked into the Barstool offices and he
asked Dante from Barstool to think of a friend, and
he thought about Chris. Now, are you really good friends?
He scrolled.

Speaker 12 (23:54):
He just asked him to scroll through his entire phone
book randomly without looking at the screen, and he said, okay, stop.
He stopped on a part of his phone book, and
he said, pick one of the names from the list
that is currently on your screen. And I just happened
to be the name on the screen.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Wow, and your phone I'm guessing. Blew up?

Speaker 18 (24:14):
It blew up.

Speaker 7 (24:15):
I mean, here's the crazy part. Okay.

Speaker 12 (24:17):
I know O's is now doing a show on YouTube
that is produced by shadow Line, which is Tom Brady's production. Ah,
Tom Brady, Tom Brady and I are business partners.

Speaker 7 (24:28):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (24:29):
I was at Tom's apartment when they filmed the first
episode of the show. So I've met O's and I've
been in the room for one of his mentalist shows,
and then out of nowhere, totally unrelated, unconnected, Dante is
at the barstool office and O's shows up and my
name gets pulled out of thin air on his phone.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well, you mentioned the show, and we saw the video.
There was a room somewhere, I think in Vegas or someplace.
You were in the room with Tom Brady, Julian Edelman
and Rob garn Kowski and Justin and Lisa and I
are saying, wait a minute, why is Chris and that good?

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Leave it? I saw Craig. Is that Chris cost still
like off to the side, So why were you in
the room?

Speaker 7 (25:10):
Man? We were a Tom's apartment.

Speaker 12 (25:12):
It was you know, we were in New York and
we were riffing cards, like we were literally just riffing cards.
And O's showed up unannounced. He was invited by you know,
Tom's team, because that's part of it. They wanted to
be totally off the cuff, totally random, totally unplanned. And
O's walks in and he just starts doing his thing
with with Tom and Bronk and Edelman and it was

(25:36):
so impressive and so mind blowing.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
I mean, it's it's literal witchcraft. It's I've never seen
anything like it.

Speaker 12 (25:43):
All of our jaws are on the ground, and it
was so cool that it, you know, immediately turned into
an idea for a show and the shadow Line team,
which I think is going to be one of the
coolest things on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Now you have to understand, Chris, as your father, I'm
still trying to adjust to things that you said, like, well,
we were in Tom's apartment, you know what I mean,
Like you say it very casually, and I'm on the
other end as your dad, and I'm thinking.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
What do you mean You're in Tom Brady's apartment.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Yeah, I guess, yeah, and Tom's my business partner of course, Yes.

Speaker 7 (26:15):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, a very odd, odd situation, that is
for sure.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Meantime, O's is everywhere. I mean, he's going to be
on with Howard today right now. Yeah, he's going to
be on the Fallon Show later this week. He's calling
into this show tomorrow morning. So what can you tell
us to prepare ourselves for O's in the morning tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
Well, there's nothing you can prepare for.

Speaker 12 (26:38):
And I'm not just saying this because I you know,
because of this video yesterday, because I've met O's. It
is the most impressive thing I've ever seen in my life.
I wouldn't call it magic. I don't know what to
call it, but everything he does is so impressive, and
he takes it to the next level.

Speaker 15 (26:56):
You know.

Speaker 12 (26:57):
When we were at Tom's house, he basically had Tom
and Gronk think of random football players. He said, close
your eyes and picture a football player walks in the room.
Think about that person, write them down, don't show anybody, right.
Tom picks a player, Bronk.

Speaker 7 (27:15):
Picks a player.

Speaker 12 (27:16):
O's guesses the players that they were thinking of, writes
them down, confirms it. So Tom and Gronk say the
name of the player, and then O's shows that he
wrote it down and confirmed it. But each player's jersey
number combined combined to be the code that unlocked Tom's
cell phone.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yeah, I've never seen anthing like it. Wow.

Speaker 14 (27:39):
Never.

Speaker 7 (27:39):
It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Now, something else I'm trying to get accustomed to, as
your dad is. Like, I did an event recently with
Gronk and he walked over to me and said hello,
But then he immediately.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Said, I love your son. Chris. Chris is the best
buddy of mine. And I'm like, what is going on here?

Speaker 14 (27:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (28:00):
Well, my relationship with Gronk is is totally unrelated to time.
I grew up playing baseball with his brother, Gordy. Right,
So Gordy and I played baseball for years and and
I became friendly with.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
Rob through Gordy.

Speaker 12 (28:13):
You know, we used to play poker on Thursday nights
at at Rob's house. We used to you know, went
out in la together.

Speaker 7 (28:20):
Like we just forget an organic friendship.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
Okay, yeah, Chris from now going forward, Billy now has
to introduce himself around Boston as Chris cost his father.
I'm not even kidding. It's like, you know, Chris is
my son, Like what is going on here now?

Speaker 2 (28:37):
And I say, I'm Chris's friend.

Speaker 12 (28:40):
And by the way, you go around and tell everybody, hey,
my dad is the host of Billy and Lisa in
the Morning.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
Has a game of course you do.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
But listen, now, we need a favor. Since Dante is
such a good friend of yours, as demonstrated with Oh's
the Mentalist, I believe now you and Dante we can
get to Dave Portnoy to get him on the show
and to have him do this.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
We can do.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
We have to make this happy.

Speaker 7 (29:09):
We can do.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
See now, that to me is interesting because here's a book, Chris,
It's coming out in June, and I already DMed him
and he DM me back and he gave me the
publisher's info and I emailed her.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
But we have to like take this now one step further.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
But this is a giant leads.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
Let me poke around a little bit.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Okay, because you just said we'll see what we can do.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Three weeks ago when I asked you if you had
a contact for Dave Portnoy, you say absolutely not.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
So let's call Christ.

Speaker 7 (29:39):
Several times for the show. Okay, I hope I've brought
in some cool people.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Yeah, I'm delivered.

Speaker 12 (29:44):
I'm not going to be I'm not going to sit
here and accept his blasphemy.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
Okay, Okay, you opened the America Mall last week in Minneapolis.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
What's the next stop? What's the next shop?

Speaker 7 (29:59):
Yeah, we just we just ad all of America. That
was amazing, and then we're going to open up our
new shop in Las Vegas on the fifteenth. Yeah, so
coming up in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
And before we let you go, Christ, we were talking
about Christmas decorations in the holidays and everything. Thinking back,
do you have any like weird Christmas stories from the house?

Speaker 7 (30:20):
Do I have any weird Christmas stories? I mean, you
ruined Christmas several times. I'm shy you can't. There was
a year I believe I was.

Speaker 12 (30:28):
Twelve years old, still firmly in the grips of the
Christmas spirit, and you, my father hanseled Christmas on Christmas Eve.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Well, it wasn't my fault.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
We were going on a big ski trip and I
bought you guys walkie talkies and you lost them.

Speaker 12 (30:44):
Yeah, well that is your obsessive compulsive disorder coming through
on the air.

Speaker 7 (30:48):
We were horrified as.

Speaker 12 (30:51):
Children, and it never left me, quite honestly, it never
left me.

Speaker 7 (30:55):
And never time we come across did you take the
train approach Christmas Eve? I get a little bit of anxiety.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
Man, you should clean use up. And then I stormed
out of the house.

Speaker 12 (31:05):
The quote the quote in front of our entire family,
because keep in mind, my father's birthday is Christmas Eve.
We celebrate it every year for our family. All of
our family are in the house. It is about nine
o'clock on Christmas Eve, and all you hear is there
will be no Christmas now.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
He's talking about the extended family. We had guests over.

Speaker 18 (31:29):
Oh yeah, my brother and his kids.

Speaker 7 (31:31):
And neighbors canceling aunts uncle.

Speaker 10 (31:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
So where were the walkie talkies?

Speaker 7 (31:35):
By the way, they were in your cool chest.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
He loves Christmas, he was telling us earlier on the
show when he lived alone, he decorated his whole apartment
with Christmas. Oh yeah, where did he go?

Speaker 7 (31:54):
He hung up right here.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Okay, so we're just talking about the joy of the holiday.
Am I still invited to your house? Yours in Hannah's house.

Speaker 7 (32:04):
Yeah, we're gonna go.

Speaker 12 (32:05):
We're gonna celebrate your birthday and blow out the candles
on the cake without you.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Thank you, send you a list of thank you Chris,
and and please work on Dave Portnite for us or
else you kiss. Let's get some talkback left over kind
of a sad day. We found out the light display,
the elaborate display in Saugus is no longer there. We
mentioned it yesterday in the show, and then someone left
the talkback saying that they were actually gone. Sad.

Speaker 13 (32:33):
Can we just talk about the tone of voice from
the guy from Stone who is.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
That's the main light sky move.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
He sounded so defeated and talking about that topic.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, I mean it's sad, But I think that guy
is talking about something else, because the place I'm thinking
of in Saugus is several neighborhoods that you drive through
and it's all lit up.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
But there's one main house on the Fellsway whatever the
road is there, that's super elaborate. That's the one he's
talking about. But he moved. He does sound sad.

Speaker 8 (33:07):
The Christmas lights and all that on the Fellsway and
Saugus is not happening this year because the person that
puts him up has moved, and I guess he has
donated him to the stoneum Zoos.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
That must have been a hard decision to move. Well,
you know, he sounds so defeated.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
It's great that the stoneam Zoo gets the lights, but
next man up, next person.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Now this guy can go to the stoneam Zoo and
see the same lights.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
And someone else can become king or queen of the lights. God.
I remember as a kid driving up there with my
family and I would get out of the car. You
could walk on the lawn. They had all kinds of
like little displays you could walk through. It's really sad
that they're going to see you're like the guy. Now, Yeah,
it's sad. I mean I've moved away since then, but
I grew up going there every single year.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Yes, tradition.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
I'll bet somebody right now is at home depost talking
so they can outdo the guy.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah. Well now the thing is nowadays they have those
companies which are fine where you can hire people. You
can hire this guy did it all himself. Yeah, August,
it was all by himself.

Speaker 15 (34:10):
I live like thirty five minutes away from Saugust and
my uncle used to take me to those lights. And
the other day when I was driving by, I was like,
oh my god, they don't have them set up. And
I was like, that's kind of weird. But there is
a huge Christmas lights display in Ipswich. It's on the
line Worker Road and it's it's a very elaborate Christmas display.

Speaker 7 (34:31):
It's it's very cool.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, my wife Michelle always makes me drive to the
Saugust area with all the lights and everything. I'm like, again,
well the lights are changing, it's the same light.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
But it's tradition, probably in her childhood.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
It is that she and her sister. Yeah, it's a
good it's a fun thing to do. I mean Christmas lights.
Let me tell you something, I like Christmas lights more
than fireworks. I don't care for fireworks on the fourth
of July Christmas lights. Right, You're right, and I'm not
huge with the fireworks. I'm not either. Well, plus Titus
freaks out. Yeah, well, that's another whole thing we mentioned earlier,

(35:06):
The Enchanted Village, Jordan's furniture and the blueberry muffins. Yes,
sponsor of dingle Ball. Of course, we love Jordan's. We
love the Enchanted Village.

Speaker 7 (35:13):
Morning Billy, Lisa and Justin.

Speaker 18 (35:15):
I am calling in to comment on those fabulous Jordan
furniture blueberry muffins that Recipes actually owned. And those muffins
are made by our mutual friend George Mantilla Matillias.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Oh yeah, shout out to them, George.

Speaker 18 (35:29):
And if you haven't tried one of those blueberry muffins,
they're worth every single calorie.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Run don't walk to.

Speaker 9 (35:35):
Jordan's m Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
But see when I was a kid, see I remember,
you guys are too young, but you would take the
elevator to the top floor of Jordan's to get the
muffins or Enchanted Village.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yeah, and you were young enough to. Santa was there
in the elves. It was just magnificent.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
And Jordan's does that now they do all of that,
plus state and the blueberry muffins, which we're famous Jordan
Marsh That's another thing I did when I was a
kid too.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
You grew up around here, you did these things. You
went to see the lights and sawgusts and went to
Jordan's furniture, the Enchanted Village and ate the muffins. It
cares one thing I'm known for.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's my muffin kids run away. It's the morning wrap
up on Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Well, the question of the morning was is it weird
if the guy has his house or apartment decorated for
Christmas when he lives alone and has no children. This
happened to one of my friends. She was dating a
guy went to his house for the first time, his apartment,
and it was full of snow globe, fake treats, yeah,
and light. So that's the question, right, Is it weird
enough should you go on a second date?

Speaker 7 (36:36):
I think as long.

Speaker 16 (36:36):
As he's not Buddy the Elf three hundred and sixty
five days a year. She has nothing to worry about.
I think it's a great flag.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I love the holidays.

Speaker 7 (36:44):
I decorate very early.

Speaker 16 (36:45):
I'm dragging my husband to Vegas to see the Bolagio
all done up this year. I say, go for it,
but only if it is on January first.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
If he continues it, then you know, you're yeah, yeah,
embrace it. It's nice. He's he's in the spirit, and
then move on.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Or they're going all the way to Vegas to see
the Christmas light Belagia. People are really into it. I
love Christmas.

Speaker 14 (37:11):
Stick with them through the Christmas season. Maybe he's just
really into Christmas. See how it goes after that. If
Valentine's comes around and you're still together and he has
freaking red hearts all over his place and cupids hanging,
then run.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
I doubt that's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
He's got the Easter bunnies all over the house on
the Easter, Yeah, that's a problem.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
He has an egg hunting A little Easter would be
kind of fun. Like yeah, Speaking of Christmas and decorations,
we were talking about the Saga's house that they moved
on the Fell's way there he had an elaborate display there.
I want to give a shout out to listener Kim.
I like our Instagram name the real Kim Shady's very good.

(37:54):
Kim grew up going to the house because her mom's
friend was the one who owned the house. Her and
her husband. Wow. Yeah, So she told me they moved
to the Las Vegas and she said, if you can
imagine the outside and how great that was, imagine what
the inside was. And when they moved, they gave away
a lot of the stuff inside. And Kim has a
bunch of stuff that was inside their house. Wow. Yeah.
They were you know, North Poles made of villages and

(38:17):
trains and workshops all inside the house. So these people
really intome and they moved to Vegas. And they moved
to Vegas, they probably got more bright lights out there.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
And these are the same people that donated all of
this stuff to the Stoneham Zoo.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Yeah yeah. Kim says that she would have taken more,
but she has a smaller house, so she shouldn't fit
at all. But they had the trains and the workshops.
At least his dad had the trains. Yeah yeah, Billy
wants me to get trains in my house. You know,
I have my dad gave me the trains.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
They're like sitting in the attic.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
I never put them up. Oh you do, no, I do? Yeah, yeah,
bring them in and justin set them up at ending
on the Sopranos kind of ruined the trains. Probably Baccalari
got whacked in the train Shop's heartbreaking scene for me,
it's all move on from the trains, okay. And finally
we had Chris Costa on Billy's Son. He is part
of well, he's part of Tom brady Land and Oh's

(39:11):
the Mentalist. If you go to the barstool Instagram, there
was a post yesterday of Oh's the Mentalist reading someone
from Barstool's mind. Chris is involved. We got him on
to talk about it, and we have Oh's tomorrow at
nine to ten. So we love Chris Costa.

Speaker 11 (39:24):
One of the best things about listening to Billy and
Lisa in the Morning is getting to see Chris Costa's
journey to becoming more famous than his father.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
So we'll see you in the morning, okay.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
