Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
In the morning.
Speaker 4 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on Kiss
run Away.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, good morning everybody, and welcome into the Billy and
Lisa Morning Show. It is a Thursday today, and boy,
the way it's cold.
Speaker 5 (00:17):
Out there, Lisa, Yeah, today's really cold. Fifties cool.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yep, yep, yeah, it's cold out there. You know when
I noticed it was cold last night before I went
to bed, I took the dog. He took good boy
Titus out for a walk, and all I could smell
was the burning of fireplaces all over town.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And I'm like, oh, boy, yep, it's starting.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
There's a sign.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
Well, that's a big discussion right in Massachusetts around this time.
When do you put the heat on? You know, some
people try to hold off as long as possible to
try to save money. Other people, as soon as it
gets a little bit cold, it goes on.
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Mine kicked on.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Oh it did?
Speaker 8 (00:52):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Ours did too.
Speaker 9 (00:53):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (00:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's funny you bring that up, because last night I
climb in bed and I turned my wife and I say,
is it possible we could put the heat on? For
God's sakes? You know, I had four blankets on me,
you know, And of course the answer was no, Well
she's a real penny pincher. We love her though, Yeah,
we love her. You know, I think I love her, Yes,
she do, Yes, I do. So there's that something else
(01:18):
that's concerning me. And Alisa happened to notice it this
morning that I've lost at least two layers of skin.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Billy's molting face, like literally molting.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
I looked over at him and I said, what is going.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
On over there?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Yeah, you're peeling. Yeah, I can see it from here.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You have to understand, in Africa it was ninety eight
degrees bright sunshine every day and would be sitting basically
in the desert, okay, sun beating. I had number fifty
on and I never even used sunscreen.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
One of those big hats that you see over there, right,
it's for a reason.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, anyway, I'm sure over furry hats. Doesn't the skin
replace itself at some point?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It does?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Okay, so I'll just shed for about a week. What
if it just keeps on paling and keeps on shred At.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
One point I thought he was growing a beard, and
it was like, really gray, that's what it looked like
and then I'm like, no, it's his skin coming off.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
You kind of get the lotion.
Speaker 10 (02:08):
He rubs the lotion on skin or else it gets
the hose again.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Just in any updates on that RV the camper that
my wife wanted.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Now, I think we scared her with our topic earlier
this week. Thank god.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What you can do bonus points. Brother, it's just surprise
her without saying anything. Make arrangements to rent an RV.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Yeah, that's something that I could do for love.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Then I have to drive it. Yeah, I have to
learn about it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's the cool part. You know, how cool you'll look
driving an RV in New Hampshire.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
My kids in the back yelling and screaming.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, but in New Hampshire, that's a sign that you've
made it. I know your driving an RV. You drive
up ninety three, that's all you say? The campus. Maybe
I will. I'm telling you. Get the RV rented for
like a long weekend. When's the next long weekend with Thanksgiving? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Pretty much?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, you can make Thanksgiving dinner on the RV. How
cool would that?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
You're out the campfire?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah? Anyway, Lisa, I'm guessing you and your son Riley
were on the couch in your robes.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Last night watching The Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
He's down to three now they go to hometown dates
and a lot happened last night.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But Riley, I have to say, he's still on his
game and you're going to find out why. At six
forty this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight Studios, we're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, so another episode of The Golden Bachelor last night.
Obviously I didn't watch it, but I'm guessing you and
your son Riley were on the couch last night.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
We absolutely did, because Riley loves it and mel got
spiritual and he was with six women.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
And I think we have Riley on the phone.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Hey, Riley, good morning.
Speaker 10 (03:59):
So some just put my phone on my face.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
In the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, some woman just OpEd and left the show on
her own.
Speaker 10 (04:09):
We lost Carol.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
What happened there?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
She took herself out and.
Speaker 10 (04:14):
She too, she took her She walked herself out because
she was telling Cindy early on the episode. She says
she should look Cindy. If I don't get this one
on one, I have to go home. I have to
see my dog, I have to see my children. So
she didn't get the one on one and she left.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, I think we have that moment right here.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think I need to be honest with him. I
don't think he's my guy.
Speaker 10 (04:41):
I don't know if I can continue on this journey
with you. This is hard because I really care about that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You have to be true to yourself and.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
The music doesn't help.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It really doesn't.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Now, who's that male voice that's crying? Mail is crying
over Carol leaving the show?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, because you have to be yourself, right, Yeah, Riley,
let me ask you something as a Yeah, as a fifteen.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Year old, what does this make you think about grown ups?
I don't know just what's going on when there's.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Won like Riley talking to the phone place thanks.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
I just think of the show as as like a
really like fine like cheese, like as it gets older,
it gets like it's like what people want to be
eating more. And I don't mean that in terms. I
mean that in terms of the show, like people want
to I think they get more genuine as they get older.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I thought you were going to say, as the cheese ages,
it gets smellier.
Speaker 10 (05:54):
No, I feel like they get it, gets more genuine,
and I feel like, I mean, obviously the season Nicole
is our villain, but I feel like generally they're there
for the right reason, so it gives me a good impression.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
On Yeah, that's true. I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
So your girl Cheryl was in the ice bath, and
all I could think of was justin because she she
hated it.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I saw your Instagram story justin.
Speaker 11 (06:19):
I thought you were having able to jump into a
trash can.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
At first, I didn't realize it was.
Speaker 11 (06:24):
Your ice bath.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, Riley, I had my son Abel, he's eight years old,
on the cold Plunge last.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Night for a personal record, right story.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
It was an honor of the Golden Batchelory.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Wow, Riley, you welcome anytime over to my house.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Yeah. I like the ice bath, so, Riley.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But the person you chose to win is still in it, right.
Speaker 10 (06:46):
I know, Peg, She's still in it. You know I was.
I wasn't too sure about my choice after I said that,
But I feel like he sees the fire in her
and I see it too.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
No, I agree, you're like spot on because Cheryl went
home and that was your number one pick from day one,
and then you kind of like left Cheryl behind.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
I left Cheryl, I revised it, and now I'm going
with Peg.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
I would really like to see Debbie win, but I
don't think it's gonna happen. I would like to see
her win, I just I just don't see it between them,
and Debby's had a lot of luck. She's never been married,
so I would love to see her get married.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
We can we talk about Nicole for a second, the villain, Yeah,
because she's off, but she had a lot to say.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
Nicole keep kept like talking bad about the women. She
kept talking about her business on the show. She was
telling the woman that's why I'm on the show. I'm
here to promote my ve can cookbook business. And on
the way out, she was like, call me when it
doesn't work out with the other woman, which I don't
think it will.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Did you say she has a heathen cook business?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Now it's a vegan.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Although Ben too.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yeah, but it was like so amazing, Like she was
such a beat you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
She was like, call me when it doesn't work out.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Oh yeah, man, good riddance. Oh boy, Wait, till Riley,
you're going with Peg. Now PEG's your pick.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
I feel like I still have to go with Peg.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Wow, she's in the world. Yeah, Ronny, I'm going to
ask you. A couple of minutes ago, you said the
words I saw the fire in her? What did you
mean by that?
Speaker 10 (08:27):
She's just she doesn't look like she would like fall
over and just start wincing. She looks like she'd fall
over and get up again. The other woman they seem
like they'd fall over and they'd start moaning and be like.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Oh my leg Those are like the wisest words I've
ever I know, Like his terminology is like, it is
bizarre to me.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Roddy, did anybody ever tell you at school that you've
got away with words?
Speaker 10 (08:55):
Well? I don't really know what I'm talking about a
lot of the time.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But I love this kid.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
He makes it sound good.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
At least I make it sound good. I find sign
my way to yea.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know, it's weird. Occasionally he sounds like Uncle Mark,
right right. Yeah, I gotta tell you, Riley, I wish
I were younger so I can hang out with you.
Speaker 10 (09:20):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Okay, you can still hang out with them, Bill, all right?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So who are you picking still?
Speaker 10 (09:26):
I'm still gonna go with Peg. I see the fire
in her.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
All right, she can get up.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
She's gonna fall back down.
Speaker 10 (09:33):
She's gonna get up.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's what they say. Yet right back up, all right, Peg,
We're all all in her corner. All right?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Bye, Riley, Thank you, Joy School.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
She looks like she'd fall over and get up again.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios, we're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And we've got dingle ball tickets right now for Collar
twenty five. You'll need the keyword. The keyword is going
to be Olivia and the number to call six months,
seven nine, three eight Billy and Lisa Now.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
The entertainment updates with the Billy GODSAPI run away.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And I'll explain in a couple of minutes why the
keyword is Olivia. Meantime, Celtics had another preseason game last night,
Celts and the Raptors in the Garden. Celtics won the game,
by the way, although Jalen Brown pulled up lame with
a leg injury. We'll probably get an update on that today,
but great night to be at the Celts game last night.
(10:30):
In Boston. Mark Wahlberg shot scenes for his new movie
during the halftime. In the movie called Weekend Warriors, about
a dad who takes his autistic son to see every
NBA team so he can choose his favorite team in
the NBA. The scene was at halftime last night and
it had his son in the movie doing a half
(10:53):
court shot, which, by the way, he drained.
Speaker 12 (10:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Shout out to one of our listeners, Brianna, she was there.
She sent me a bunch of pictures in video that
we watched this morning. Pretty cool to be there for
that moment.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, because you wouldn't have known, right you're there all
of a sudden, you could be in a movie, like
a cameo in the Mark Wahlberg movie. By the way,
The Seltzer open the season next Wednesday with the Sixers
in the TV Garden and Mark's brother Donnie's a new show,
Boston Blue, premieres tomorrow night on CBS. Might remember we
had Donnie on the show recently when he was in
(11:27):
Boston shooting.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
It was the most fun. But I could see, you know,
and the crew was like, oh my god, the city
loves you, and I was like overwhelmed. Every now and
Thenain a director would look at me and go, Okay, Donnie,
you gotta say no to Sully and Timmy.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Donnie's going to be coming in again soon because he's
coming back to Boston for something and he's still doing
some shooting in and around town for Boston Blue tomorrow
night on CBS. I know I'll be watching with.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You, Lese, I absolutely will be. I love that show.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You kind of have to watch, right and Blue Bloods.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I love Blue Bloods.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Sabrina Carpenter is the guest host and the musical guest
on Saturday Night Live this weekend. They dropped the promo
yesterday at Spoofs at least said one of your favorite
shows of all time Sex in the City, New York.
Speaker 13 (12:15):
Is one big apple and I'm taking my bike at
Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Sabrina, what are you up to in these heels?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Probably like five four NA excited for the weekend?
Speaker 9 (12:27):
Sorry, huns, I prefer a strong end.
Speaker 13 (12:30):
Oh thank god, it's mister big O.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's actually mar Solo, but I'll take it.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Hey, Sabrina, I had a question about the punkin Patch.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Catch anything for a fan?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, I'm a writer.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The woman wondered what she'd gotten herself into.
Speaker 13 (12:47):
Having won over the cast and crew, the only thing
left to do was what is she writing?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh idea, the computer is not even on. Leave it
to Sabrina Carpenter right sore. Most of those promos leading
up to the show in the weekend are not funny.
For some reason, one of the funniest shows in the world,
but they're not funny.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
She was hilarious. That's two weeks in a row. You
were in Africa last week. Bad Bunny did a good
one too. They're getting better, Sabrina.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
This week brought Olivia Dean out on stage in Austin, Texas,
and Labia Dean don't forget doing our sould out jingle balls.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
A lot of puppets in the crowd, which is really
not what I'm looking for. Actually it's not my type.
But I do see someone beautiful up the front right here.
What's your name, georgeous, Olivia?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I'm gonna taken aback by your beauty?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Where are you from.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
London?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Olivia?
Speaker 13 (13:50):
I don't have like a lot of good pickup lines,
but could I be the man you need?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
One of the biggest songs.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
To tell you up?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When I heard this song play on Kiss Went Away.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I stood in my kitchen and I looked at my
old Bows radio and I said, who is that?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Before before I heard the song, I heard it described
as it's addictive, and I heard it and it was
stuck on my head all weekend. Now it's going to
be stuck on my head all day today.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
No, but she's coming to jingle Ball, which is like
the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
We got her and I remember the morning after your
experienced that you came into Justin and I'm raving about
the song.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, I said, I need to know who is this?
I've never done that.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, and don't forget we're gonna have the K Pop
Demon Hunters sing along at jingle Ball. Speaking of jingle Ball,
and we're giving away tickets in a couple of seconds.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
That's that song has taken over my life. No, you
don't understand my daughter, she's only three years old. It's
NonStop on YouTube. That's golden.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And they should bring it a jingle Ball. Well, they're
bringing it back to movie theaters for three days starting Halloween,
big Halloween costume and we've got the sing along at
Yes we do. And Jlow sat down with Howard Stern
this week defending the NFL's decision to have Bad Bunny
as the halftime.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The whole thing is crazy.
Speaker 14 (15:15):
I'm very much an artist who's about projecting love, being love,
doing that, putting that on to the universe. And I
feel like as artists, it's about sharing different ideas, different cultures,
all of the things. And so I think it's I
applaud the NFL for doing that, and especially at this time,
to go, hey, we're going to put this artist in
(15:35):
here for everybody to see because he's probably the biggest
artist on the planet right now. Really that's the thing
that they usually do, so that, to me is a triumph.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
For all of us. So yesterday we talked a lot
about Kim Kardashian's interview with the Call Her Daddy, and
she had so much to say, but she talked a
lot about Kanye on a whim would just give away
all their classic cars, right, Josh, I mean that's like.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Ferrari's Lamborghinis specifically, what did you just give.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Them to front?
Speaker 15 (16:13):
Yep, we had like five Lamborghinis and I'd come home
and they'd all be gone, you know. If he was
in an episode and I'd be like, oh, wait, where's
all our cars, like my new car, and it would
be like, oh, he gave him away to all of
his friends.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And then I'd be like, huh okay, wow, well.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's kind of rich people problems.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Well yeah, they have a lot of rich people problems.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Like she could have just said cars, yeah, you know,
but I'm actually glad she said it because it really
like really shows you know, what she went through married
to him.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, and she talked a lot about Burken bags, and
they talked a lot about Burkins and marks on the
show yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Another rich person's problem. She was obsessed with this one
Burken bag.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
That was close to one hundred thousand dollars and her
sister ended up getting it. It was just like she
was no, I know, like she it was like a
four minute story about this like extravagant handbag. But I
mention it because I have a book club coming up
November sixth at the Newberry Hotel with Marissa Meltzer, who
wrote the book about Jane Burkin, which is what the
(17:17):
Burken bag is named after, Jane Burkin. So the book
club is about that, And I posted the link to
the book club. If you want to come, it's at
Lisa Donovan one eight.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
So even though we may never have a Burkin never
none of us and a lot of people listening to
this show, we can learn about where they come from
and why they're so popular.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Yep, the backstory, I think secretly, I don't truss.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's the way above mine.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
You've got to know someone who knows someone that's like.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, new research suggesting now that's in Taylor Swift song
about Travis's junk came out. He's been playing much better
on the field. This is not a joke because before
the lease of Wood the song, Travis had fifteen catches
for one hundred and eighty eight yards and one touchdown.
After the release of the song, in just two games,
(18:10):
he had thirteen catches for one hundred and thirty nine
yards and one touchdown.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
And there you go, travel I would his love was
the key.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, you know what he's doing. He's strutting and stuff. Yes,
now the word is out.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I've never been referred to as a Redwood tree, and
I don't think I ever will.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Britney's ex Kevin Federline getting a lot of attention for
his memoir, which is among other things, says he caught
Britney cheating with him with a woman in bed, and
at least of Brittany now is responding to all these accusations.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
She went on AX yesterday and said, the constant gaslighting
for my ex husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting. I
have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with
my boys. Relationships with teenage boys as complex. Yeah, she
said that she's going to try and reach out to
the two of them. I think Preston is Sean Preston's
twenty and Jayden's nineteen.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
But her book publish.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Her pr person said that sadly this book comes out
after child support has ended.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
With Kevin.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Okay, who's going to read that book? You're going to
have him in the book club.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
I don't think I will, But I actually think a
lot of people will read that book.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, in the money, Okay. So during the course of
the Billy and Lisa Morning Show, I go in and
out of the studio, as does Lisa, and usually when
I walk into my office for some reason later in
the show, the Mark and Kelly Show is on the at.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Least Billy's on a Mark and Kelly obsession right now,
I'm tetually a fan of the show. Yeah, I like
Mark and Suelos.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But it's very well produced.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, they definitely turned up the heat on production on
that show anyway. So I walk in yesterday and they
introduced this boy band, right, apparently that was on the
X Factor Show or one of those shows making the band,
and I hope you get the name of the band right,
but I think it's Morning to Sunshine or something like that. Whatever.
It's four kids, right, two of which are from the
(20:13):
US and the other two from Australia. But you're ready
for this. Their song is written by Benson Boone and
they're performing in Boston. This is like totally by accident.
I saw them yesterday and now they're in Boston tomorrow
night at Royale.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
So justin you know, I knew you were going to
say this.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We got to get to the record guy, and we
got to get these guys in. This would be their
biggest interview yet. I mean, I love the Mark and
Kelly show, but this is the Billy and Lisa Morning
Joe guy.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
If anyone's listening that has a connection to Royale, make
my life easier and just reach out to me on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Please, Yeah, let's get the Royale people on it, and
while out of I'll book Kelly and Mark two. Hey,
we're brought to you by Wilson Farm. How about pumpkins,
Mom's hot cider donuts. It's all fall at Wilson Farm

and there you go, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
I love getting dressed up, I love the candy, and
I love scaring people.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Silly Lisa.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So when we go to restaurants, we all have our
own pet peeves, right, I know I've got a couple,
Like when they ask me what kind of water I want?
How about something wet?
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Or if you go out to dinner with a handful
of people and some guy just decides to order apps
for the table, Like, I don't even know this guy,
How does he know? What? If I'm going to like
anything he's ordering? But the servers, the wait staff they
have their own pet peeves about things we do lees
that bug them exactly.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
So we have the top three or four things that
really bug servers. The number one thing that they've said
on TikTok recently is that when a table of twenty
walks in without a reservation, there's only one server on
the floor and they all want separate checks.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That is a nightmare situation.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, but what would be the solution today?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, a lot of people I know, I've been to restaurants.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
If we've been there with big groups, there are only
so many credit cards that they can take.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Oh, you know, the limit as a limit.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
So I've been with a big group and usually one
person will step up and say, you know what, I'll
pay for it, and then you guys just vento me.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Right, that's like the easiest way to do it.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
So I've done that way before and it's not gone good?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Are you getting your money?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Getting the money from every single person? And then you
feel weird asking them because you don't want to ask
they forgot what's the limit? That's what I want to
know of people, you know, So we've done it when
there's like five or six guys, we've split the but
we don't say each our own separate checks. Will say
split it evenly, yes, amongst us. But I wonder what
(23:04):
the limit is, you know, is it five people, is
it ten people? I mean, there's probably not a certain
number of cards, but I get that that's annoying. You know,
we tip extra just because we know it's enough, of course,
but if you're out with the group.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
My thing is usually one of us will pay, knowing
that the next time we're out one.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Of the other people.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
That's another way to do it too, if you go
out with the same group of people. The number two
thing on a list for a server is when a
table of high school students walks.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
In yep, oh boy, yeah. Yeah. So this this one
translates to translates from me to the gym. Yeah, because
I'm in support of anybody at any age going to
the gym. I think it's a wonderful thing. But there's
this trend if you go to the gym, you know
what I'm talking about of high school kids, younger kids,
and what they do is they gather around equipment.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh my god, that's happening to me right now.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
And the why in trust and they do one of
the time, and then they'll just sit there and talk
and they're on their phones. Yes, and it's like a
whole like I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, a lot of them, even if they're alone, will
sit at a machine in between sets, right, so I
can just get on their phone and start talking to
people and searching things and I'm like, could you get
off the machine please?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Yeah. So I can see at the restaurant how this
would translate there too, when they walk and.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You're like, oh, oh god, this is going to be
a night because.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Not only you thinking they're going to make a huge
mess and maybe pains in the in the butt, but
they're also probably not going to leave a huge tip.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
No, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And half of them are going to give you a
fake ID.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
The next one is all servers have been cut for
the night. You're the only one left on the floor
and you have to roll all the silverware in the
entire restaurant.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
I know. I served for one week. I was a
line cook and I did serve for one week. And
let me tell you, my worst memory was rolling silverware.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yes, well mine was filling up the ketchups.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh that's another one.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, all the condiments. It was just such a pain
in the neck.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's such a hard do you know I never told
you justin I just told Lisa. I was a waiter
one night for one night only, and I quit.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Where was this?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It was a really cool place in Boston called Jason's
and I ended up being the DJ at the club instead.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
You switched from waiter to TDJ billy host. I was
a waiter one day, but I just couldn't deal with that.
I think it was half way through the first night.
I just said, this isn't for me.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I actually really enjoyed working in restaurants.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I did. I liked it.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
I liked it. I like serving, but I liked the atmosphere.
It's a tough job, man, it is dealing with people.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
You got to like juggle so many, like different orders
coming in and who came in first, and you know,
it's it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But I I liked it. I worked at the Atlantic
Fish Company in Chesta Hill.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Did you work at Cheers?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I did. I was the receptionist.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Receptionist at the Hampshire House.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
At the Hampshire House.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
That was fun and we would we would go out
afterwards like all the servers.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I had a great time.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Okay, So that's our list. But we have a lot
of people that listen to this show who work in
restaurants and probably our servers and definitely have their own
pet peeves.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I have a couple of things to act really quickly. Yeah,
one I saw recently at a restaurant which I was
like appalled by. There was a people at a table
next to us. The server was taking everybody's order. They
got to this one girl and she was on her
phone while she ordered. Oh like, did not even look
up at the service. She was talking and giving her
order while scrolling on problems. She wasn't looking at the
(26:29):
menu in her phone because the menu was right.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Then I watched her. She was scrolling, but not a menu.
It looks like pictures, see what I mean. There are
so many good ones. So we want to hear from
the wait staff out there, all the weight people give
us your pet peeves.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So a couple of minutes ago, Lecia had a long
list of pet peeves that waitstaff would have complaints about
us as restaurant goers, right.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Exactly one.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
The top one was with tabletop of twenty walks in
with no residservation and then they went all separate checks.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, and that's the biggest one, right, that's really the
biggest thing, is it? Justin? My boy, Captain Mike Ka,
please tell me you don't go out to dinner with
your grown men friends and have the server split the tab.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Yeah, it's only like four of us, and you know
we haven't gone out recently. Yeah, it might be different.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Now yeah, well, guess what, Justin, We've got your cousin
Jackie on the phone right now. No way, he wants
to join the conversation. Hey, hey, Jackie, what's going on?
Give us some dirt on Justin?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
No, no, no call on the topic, Jackie. Please.
Speaker 16 (27:40):
I don't have that much dirt on Justin. He's pretty
open about his past, so I would say he's a
pretty honest guy, so you know, I don't really have
much shirt on him.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Okay, now give us the dirt on restaurants on us.
Speaker 16 (27:52):
So one of my biggest huppis so I worked in
a restaurant for about fifteen years that one of the
biggest things was when you say down, they would provide
you with like bread and they're like oil and romano
cheese dip. And we used to get kids come in
all the time, late night, like nine p forty five,
we close it ten and they'd be like, oh yeah,
can we just get some bread and water? I'm like,
(28:13):
what is this prison?
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Like what was going on?
Speaker 16 (28:16):
And that was and it was like the end of
the night. We're trying to clean up, tossing the broad
away because we don't have anyone coming in, and like
a group of five or six kids would come in
and be like, we.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Just get some bread.
Speaker 16 (28:25):
It's like they wouldn't even they were dirty a table,
wouldn't leave any money or tip, and we're like, okay,
so what just happened?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I had that said they wouldn't order anything, like not
even a soda now, No.
Speaker 16 (28:37):
We'd just get bread and water. And I was like, okay,
I feel like they're in prison.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I wouldn't allowed. I wouldn't think so I think you
would have to order something.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Well, they're probably stoned out of their minds, all right.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Start the chairs, Yeah, probably.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
All right, good one jacket, Jack, thank you. I wanted
to keep it on the phone to talk more about Justin,
but we'll do that another time.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
No, she was right out. I'm pretty honest. I don't
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Let's go to Michelle, she's in Quincy. Michelle joined the conversation.
What have we got?
Speaker 12 (29:05):
I was going to say that I think I'm no
longer a server, but when I was, like, the worst
would be one getting flagged down by a table, just
in general. But even worse when you are walking with
like an armful of plates for another table and they're
trying to, you know, flag you down to ask for
something like on your way to do something else. I
(29:25):
think that's the worst.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
You know, what I've always been impressed with is sometimes
you can walk by with a tray of Martini's in
one hand, balancing them without dropping a drips. How do
they do?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
That's the talent?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Did you do that when you were waiting?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I can't remember, but hopefully I did.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I don't know what a talent. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
You have to see them. They have the trades going
up their arm, yes, the food of the drinks. Yeah,
I always think what if they drop?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I used to get so nervous when someone would order
a bottle of wine, because again I was like in
my early twenties and then you have to open it
up at the table and then you're struggling with the
cork and it's like so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think it's gotten a lot easier because more and more,
even good wines are now twist tops.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
So my wife worked at Tuscan Kitchen. Oh yeah, yeah,
and she had to go through a week of training
and it was like super helpful to her all about wine.
She had to learn how the meat was made, the
cheeses so she could talk about the food and the
wine at the table.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
So Joe Farrell, who owns the Duskan Kitchens, is a
good friend of mine, believe it or not. For a
couple of weeks he has trials where he invites people
from the public to command so the people can practice
everything they've learned on wines and cheeses and everything else.
So it's pretty comprehensive.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Yeah. And by the way, that was not what I
told the story before my wife throwing the change back
in the guys the customers face, that's what I might
Tuskin that was at a previous restaurant.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Retell the story because it's one of my favorites of
all time.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Well, you know, it was happening a lot where at
this restaurant she would serve at, these people would come
in and they would like the bill would be forty
nine dollars, fifty dollars like a one dollar tip. So
this one guy came in with his family and the
bill was something like ninety nine dollars and ninety eight
dollars and he left one hundred bucks a dollar a
(31:12):
dollar change, so she had enough. So as he was
walking out, she got his change all in coins and
walked up to him and said, sir, you're change and
he turned around. He said no, no, no, hunh that's
for you, and she just whipped the change rate in
his face. She got written up.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It was a whole and say did you get in trouble?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Of course she did. She didn't get fired because they
kind of understood, but yeah, what are you doing. I'm
surprised the tipping thing hasn't come up in this conversation.
That's for you, Yeah, that's for you.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
God Hi, This is Alison from Attleborough and I served
in bartended for years and one of my biggest pet
peeves was when customers would wave their hand at you
to get your attention, or even worse they would snap
their fingers at you, as if you were some sort
of dog that they could beckon.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
That's awful.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
That happened, so rude. It's great getting this side of it,
their side about us.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Yeah, who snaps their fingers?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
That's horrib does that?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
My first pet peeve is when someone snaps their fingers
at you. I am not a dog. Please don't do that.
You do not need to do that to get my attention.
I'll be over in a minute. And the other is
when people don't pick up after their young kids. I
totally get it. I'm a mom, I have young kids,
but please don't leave a tornado and a disaster behind
after your dinner. Just pick up the couple things or
(32:32):
plate or whatever they do.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, just try your best. Yeah, sleme up after your kids.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Justin You know who snaps their fingers? The guy that
left the coins for Jen.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Oh yeah, there he goes. He's definitely a finger snapper
for sure.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
One other thing with my wife a pet peeves. You're
served for a long time. So people do this thing.
I can't demonstrate it like live, but when they want
it a refill on their drink. Oh yeah, yeah, when
she's walking by the table. If it's empty, they'll slurp
out of it very loudly.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I thought you were going to say, they shake the glass.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
That'd be worth No, they'll, you know, she'll, they'll drink
out of it and make that sound, you know, like
it's the drives are crazy so much. I can't do
it in the house. She starts yelling at me when
I do it.
Speaker 9 (33:17):
Good morning, Chris from Salem. I am a part time
server in downtown Salem, so it's the craziest time of
the year. But my biggest pet peeve has to be
when you order water for the whole table and it
doesn't get drunk. Don't order the water if you're not
going to drink it.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
See, they've got a lot of complaints about us. There
are things we do we don't even know we're doing.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, you don't gotta worry about bill though.
Then they without telling you. If you say i'll just
have sparkling, they bring you a giant bomb.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
I've had water all day.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I'm here to relax. I would like a cocktail costing
sometimes water. Yeah, you want still sparkling, and they will
bring you a giant gallon bottle of sparkling water. I
just wanted a glass of sparkling water. Either way, I
don't even like sparkling water.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
I'm a sparkling guy.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Oh yeah, I'm a tap water girl.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I always said, yeah, just take it from the tap. Okay,
I'll take bilge water if that's all you have. Something wet.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
My peeve is when you ask the table au they're
ready to order, and they say yeah, and you go
to take the order and they're like, hmmm, would you
get the chicken palm or the fish and chips? Well, ma'am,
you're not ready to.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Order, are you so true?
Speaker 10 (34:37):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (34:38):
The other thing is someone as a server if they're
annoyed by people that order things that are on the menu,
but then they want it to be made this way. Oh,
and then they don't want this sauce, they want something else,
and then they want this taken off. And it's not
an allergy situation. It's just a preference. I wonder if
that's a big one.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Well, keep in mind it's a problem for the staff
in the kitchen. They're like, oh, really right, really the
menu is not good enough?
Speaker 6 (35:01):
Okay, hun, you know you want to customize.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Yeah, it's like like one thing is fine, but like
three things, it's like, well, why don't you just order
something else?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah? Or if you get a beautiful steakhouse, right and
you come out you're the chef, you walk by a
table and they're sprinkling ketchup on his steak. Oh yeah.
Speaker 17 (35:19):
You have to work at a golf course and the
leagues would come in at night and there would be
upwards of probably twenty twenty five people at one table,
and they would all have separate checks.
Speaker 13 (35:31):
So that's what I would do.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I would separate it out and swipe twenty five different
cart Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
That is a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
How much time that.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's such a nightmare.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
And then when they close out at night, it's just
more work.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
More work, And they've got other tables. So while she's
doing all this calculating, the other tables are not waiting around.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Because in the serving industry, right, it's time. Time is
so important, you know, and if you know your time's
being held up, And now with people like you.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Know they used to bring if you went with the
big group, now Venmo's everywhere, it's just so easy to
kind of like be able to do it without handing
over twenty cards, right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Venmo each other. Yeah, let's go to Nina and Weymouth
online too.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Hey Nina, good morning. What have you got to add?
Speaker 18 (36:14):
Hey, good morning? Oh my god, the worst pet peeve.
I worked at Joe's in Dedham before it closed, and
they would have the same two different couples would come
order food and then always like make some sort of
complaint so they could get a discount or get the
whole meal taken off. Oh it was unbelievable. Oh yeah,
(36:35):
oh yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Do you know there are people that do that, knowing
on their way to the restaurant they're going to do that.
They're going to come up with a complaint, hoping they
get a discount half off or they get the meal
free or Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Wasn't there a story of a guy who got arrested
because he was faking heart attacks at restaurants really so
he didn't have to pay the bill. I saw that story.
That's a that's classic right there.
Speaker 12 (37:00):
You know.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
I kind of feel like there's a possibility that Bill Costa.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Might be a finger snapper set snapping his fingers and
being like, hey, do you know who I am?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
I am?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
The Dining Playbook serve me,
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:03):
In the morning.
Speaker 4 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on Kiss
run Away.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, good morning everybody, and welcome into the Billy and
Lisa Morning Show. It is a Thursday today, and boy,
the way it's cold.
Speaker 5 (00:17):
Out there, Lisa, Yeah, today's really cold. Fifties cool.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Yep, yep, yeah, it's cold out there. You know when
I noticed it was cold last night before I went
to bed, I took the dog. He took good boy
Titus out for a walk, and all I could smell
was the burning of fireplaces all over town.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
And I'm like, oh, boy, yep, it's starting.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
There's a sign.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
Well, that's a big discussion right in Massachusetts around this time.
When do you put the heat on? You know, some
people try to hold off as long as possible to
try to save money. Other people, as soon as it
gets a little bit cold, it goes on.
Speaker 7 (00:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Mine kicked on.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Oh it did?
Speaker 8 (00:52):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Ours did too.
Speaker 9 (00:53):
Yep.
Speaker 8 (00:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's funny you bring that up, because last night I
climb in bed and I turned my wife and I say,
is it possible we could put the heat on? For
God's sakes? You know, I had four blankets on me,
you know, And of course the answer was no, Well
she's a real penny pincher. We love her though, Yeah,
we love her. You know, I think I love her, Yes,
she do, Yes, I do. So there's that something else
(01:18):
that's concerning me. And Alisa happened to notice it this
morning that I've lost at least two layers of skin.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Billy's molting face, like literally molting.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
I looked over at him and I said, what is going.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
On over there?
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Yeah, you're peeling. Yeah, I can see it from here.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You have to understand, in Africa it was ninety eight
degrees bright sunshine every day and would be sitting basically
in the desert, okay, sun beating. I had number fifty
on and I never even used sunscreen.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
One of those big hats that you see over there, right,
it's for a reason.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, anyway, I'm sure over furry hats. Doesn't the skin
replace itself at some point?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
It does?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Okay, so I'll just shed for about a week. What
if it just keeps on paling and keeps on shred At.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
One point I thought he was growing a beard, and
it was like, really gray, that's what it looked like
and then I'm like, no, it's his skin coming off.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
You kind of get the lotion.
Speaker 10 (02:08):
He rubs the lotion on skin or else it gets
the hose again.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Just in any updates on that RV the camper that
my wife wanted.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Now, I think we scared her with our topic earlier
this week. Thank god.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
What you can do bonus points. Brother, it's just surprise
her without saying anything. Make arrangements to rent an RV.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Yeah, that's something that I could do for love.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Then I have to drive it. Yeah, I have to
learn about it.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's the cool part. You know, how cool you'll look
driving an RV in New Hampshire.
Speaker 6 (02:42):
My kids in the back yelling and screaming.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, but in New Hampshire, that's a sign that you've
made it. I know your driving an RV. You drive
up ninety three, that's all you say? The campus. Maybe
I will. I'm telling you. Get the RV rented for
like a long weekend. When's the next long weekend with Thanksgiving? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Pretty much?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, you can make Thanksgiving dinner on the RV. How
cool would that?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
You're out the campfire?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah? Anyway, Lisa, I'm guessing you and your son Riley
were on the couch in your robes.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Last night watching The Golden Bachelor.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
He's down to three now they go to hometown dates
and a lot happened last night.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
But Riley, I have to say, he's still on his
game and you're going to find out why. At six
forty this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight Studios, we're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, so another episode of The Golden Bachelor last night.
Obviously I didn't watch it, but I'm guessing you and
your son Riley were on the couch last night.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
We absolutely did, because Riley loves it and mel got
spiritual and he was with six women.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
And I think we have Riley on the phone.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Hey, Riley, good morning.
Speaker 10 (03:59):
So some just put my phone on my face.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
In the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, some woman just OpEd and left the show on
her own.
Speaker 10 (04:09):
We lost Carol.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
What happened there?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
She took herself out and.
Speaker 10 (04:14):
She too, she took her She walked herself out because
she was telling Cindy early on the episode. She says
she should look Cindy. If I don't get this one
on one, I have to go home. I have to
see my dog, I have to see my children. So
she didn't get the one on one and she left.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, I think we have that moment right here.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think I need to be honest with him. I
don't think he's my guy.
Speaker 10 (04:41):
I don't know if I can continue on this journey
with you. This is hard because I really care about that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You have to be true to yourself and.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
The music doesn't help.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
It really doesn't.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Now, who's that male voice that's crying? Mail is crying
over Carol leaving the show?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, because you have to be yourself, right, Yeah, Riley,
let me ask you something as a Yeah, as a fifteen.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Year old, what does this make you think about grown ups?
I don't know just what's going on when there's.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Won like Riley talking to the phone place thanks.
Speaker 10 (05:27):
I just think of the show as as like a
really like fine like cheese, like as it gets older,
it gets like it's like what people want to be
eating more. And I don't mean that in terms. I
mean that in terms of the show, like people want
to I think they get more genuine as they get older.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I thought you were going to say, as the cheese ages,
it gets smellier.
Speaker 10 (05:54):
No, I feel like they get it, gets more genuine,
and I feel like, I mean, obviously the season Nicole
is our villain, but I feel like generally they're there
for the right reason, so it gives me a good impression.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
On Yeah, that's true. I agree with you.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
So your girl Cheryl was in the ice bath, and
all I could think of was justin because she she
hated it.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I saw your Instagram story justin.
Speaker 11 (06:19):
I thought you were having able to jump into a
trash can.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
At first, I didn't realize it was.
Speaker 11 (06:24):
Your ice bath.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, Riley, I had my son Abel, he's eight years old,
on the cold Plunge last.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Night for a personal record, right story.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
It was an honor of the Golden Batchelory.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Wow, Riley, you welcome anytime over to my house.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Yeah. I like the ice bath, so, Riley.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
But the person you chose to win is still in it, right.
Speaker 10 (06:46):
I know, Peg, She's still in it. You know I was.
I wasn't too sure about my choice after I said that,
But I feel like he sees the fire in her
and I see it too.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
No, I agree, you're like spot on because Cheryl went
home and that was your number one pick from day one,
and then you kind of like left Cheryl behind.
Speaker 10 (07:02):
I left Cheryl, I revised it, and now I'm going
with Peg.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 10 (07:07):
I would really like to see Debbie win, but I
don't think it's gonna happen. I would like to see
her win, I just I just don't see it between them,
and Debby's had a lot of luck. She's never been married,
so I would love to see her get married.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
We can we talk about Nicole for a second, the villain, Yeah,
because she's off, but she had a lot to say.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
Nicole keep kept like talking bad about the women. She
kept talking about her business on the show. She was
telling the woman that's why I'm on the show. I'm
here to promote my ve can cookbook business. And on
the way out, she was like, call me when it
doesn't work out with the other woman, which I don't
think it will.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Did you say she has a heathen cook business?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Now it's a vegan.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Although Ben too.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Yeah, but it was like so amazing, Like she was
such a beat you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
She was like, call me when it doesn't work out.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
Oh yeah, man, good riddance. Oh boy, Wait, till Riley,
you're going with Peg. Now PEG's your pick.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
I feel like I still have to go with Peg.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Wow, she's in the world. Yeah, Ronny, I'm going to
ask you. A couple of minutes ago, you said the
words I saw the fire in her? What did you
mean by that?
Speaker 10 (08:27):
She's just she doesn't look like she would like fall
over and just start wincing. She looks like she'd fall
over and get up again. The other woman they seem
like they'd fall over and they'd start moaning and be like.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Oh my leg Those are like the wisest words I've
ever I know, Like his terminology is like, it is
bizarre to me.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Roddy, did anybody ever tell you at school that you've
got away with words?
Speaker 10 (08:55):
Well? I don't really know what I'm talking about a
lot of the time.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But I love this kid.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
He makes it sound good.
Speaker 10 (09:03):
At least I make it sound good. I find sign
my way to yea.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know, it's weird. Occasionally he sounds like Uncle Mark,
right right. Yeah, I gotta tell you, Riley, I wish
I were younger so I can hang out with you.
Speaker 10 (09:20):
Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Okay, you can still hang out with them, Bill, all right?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So who are you picking still?
Speaker 10 (09:26):
I'm still gonna go with Peg. I see the fire
in her.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
All right, she can get up.
Speaker 7 (09:32):
She's gonna fall back down.
Speaker 10 (09:33):
She's gonna get up.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
That's what they say. Yet right back up, all right, Peg,
We're all all in her corner. All right?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Bye, Riley, Thank you, Joy School.
Speaker 10 (09:43):
She looks like she'd fall over and get up again.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios, we're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And we've got dingle ball tickets right now for Collar
twenty five. You'll need the keyword. The keyword is going
to be Olivia and the number to call six months,
seven nine, three eight Billy and Lisa Now.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
The entertainment updates with the Billy GODSAPI run away.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And I'll explain in a couple of minutes why the
keyword is Olivia. Meantime, Celtics had another preseason game last night,
Celts and the Raptors in the Garden. Celtics won the game,
by the way, although Jalen Brown pulled up lame with
a leg injury. We'll probably get an update on that today,
but great night to be at the Celts game last night.
(10:30):
In Boston. Mark Wahlberg shot scenes for his new movie
during the halftime. In the movie called Weekend Warriors, about
a dad who takes his autistic son to see every
NBA team so he can choose his favorite team in
the NBA. The scene was at halftime last night and
it had his son in the movie doing a half
(10:53):
court shot, which, by the way, he drained.
Speaker 12 (10:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Shout out to one of our listeners, Brianna, she was there.
She sent me a bunch of pictures in video that
we watched this morning. Pretty cool to be there for
that moment.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, because you wouldn't have known, right you're there all
of a sudden, you could be in a movie, like
a cameo in the Mark Wahlberg movie. By the way,
The Seltzer open the season next Wednesday with the Sixers
in the TV Garden and Mark's brother Donnie's a new show,
Boston Blue, premieres tomorrow night on CBS. Might remember we
had Donnie on the show recently when he was in
(11:27):
Boston shooting.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
It was the most fun. But I could see, you know,
and the crew was like, oh my god, the city
loves you, and I was like overwhelmed. Every now and
Thenain a director would look at me and go, Okay, Donnie,
you gotta say no to Sully and Timmy.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Donnie's going to be coming in again soon because he's
coming back to Boston for something and he's still doing
some shooting in and around town for Boston Blue tomorrow
night on CBS. I know I'll be watching with.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
You, Lese, I absolutely will be. I love that show.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
You kind of have to watch, right and Blue Bloods.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
I love Blue Bloods.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Sabrina Carpenter is the guest host and the musical guest
on Saturday Night Live this weekend. They dropped the promo
yesterday at Spoofs at least said one of your favorite
shows of all time Sex in the City, New York.
Speaker 13 (12:15):
Is one big apple and I'm taking my bike at
Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Sabrina, what are you up to in these heels?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Probably like five four NA excited for the weekend?
Speaker 9 (12:27):
Sorry, huns, I prefer a strong end.
Speaker 13 (12:30):
Oh thank god, it's mister big O.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
It's actually mar Solo, but I'll take it.
Speaker 10 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Hey, Sabrina, I had a question about the punkin Patch.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Catch anything for a fan?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
No, I'm a writer.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
The woman wondered what she'd gotten herself into.
Speaker 13 (12:47):
Having won over the cast and crew, the only thing
left to do was what is she writing?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh idea, the computer is not even on. Leave it
to Sabrina Carpenter right sore. Most of those promos leading
up to the show in the weekend are not funny.
For some reason, one of the funniest shows in the world,
but they're not funny.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
She was hilarious. That's two weeks in a row. You
were in Africa last week. Bad Bunny did a good
one too. They're getting better, Sabrina.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
This week brought Olivia Dean out on stage in Austin, Texas,
and Labia Dean don't forget doing our sould out jingle balls.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
A lot of puppets in the crowd, which is really
not what I'm looking for. Actually it's not my type.
But I do see someone beautiful up the front right here.
What's your name, georgeous, Olivia?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I'm gonna taken aback by your beauty?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Where are you from.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
London?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Olivia?
Speaker 13 (13:50):
I don't have like a lot of good pickup lines,
but could I be the man you need?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
One of the biggest songs.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
To tell you up?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When I heard this song play on Kiss Went Away.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
I stood in my kitchen and I looked at my
old Bows radio and I said, who is that?
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Before before I heard the song, I heard it described
as it's addictive, and I heard it and it was
stuck on my head all weekend. Now it's going to
be stuck on my head all day today.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
No, but she's coming to jingle Ball, which is like
the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
We got her and I remember the morning after your
experienced that you came into Justin and I'm raving about
the song.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Yeah, I said, I need to know who is this?
I've never done that.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Yeah, and don't forget we're gonna have the K Pop
Demon Hunters sing along at jingle Ball. Speaking of jingle Ball,
and we're giving away tickets in a couple of seconds.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
That's that song has taken over my life. No, you
don't understand my daughter, she's only three years old. It's
NonStop on YouTube. That's golden.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And they should bring it a jingle Ball. Well, they're
bringing it back to movie theaters for three days starting Halloween,
big Halloween costume and we've got the sing along at
Yes we do. And Jlow sat down with Howard Stern
this week defending the NFL's decision to have Bad Bunny
as the halftime.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
The whole thing is crazy.
Speaker 14 (15:15):
I'm very much an artist who's about projecting love, being love,
doing that, putting that on to the universe. And I
feel like as artists, it's about sharing different ideas, different cultures,
all of the things. And so I think it's I
applaud the NFL for doing that, and especially at this time,
to go, hey, we're going to put this artist in
(15:35):
here for everybody to see because he's probably the biggest
artist on the planet right now. Really that's the thing
that they usually do, so that, to me is a triumph.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
For all of us. So yesterday we talked a lot
about Kim Kardashian's interview with the Call Her Daddy, and
she had so much to say, but she talked a
lot about Kanye on a whim would just give away
all their classic cars, right, Josh, I mean that's like.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
Ferrari's Lamborghinis specifically, what did you just give.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Them to front?
Speaker 15 (16:13):
Yep, we had like five Lamborghinis and I'd come home
and they'd all be gone, you know. If he was
in an episode and I'd be like, oh, wait, where's
all our cars, like my new car, and it would
be like, oh, he gave him away to all of
his friends.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
And then I'd be like, huh okay, wow, well.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's kind of rich people problems.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Well yeah, they have a lot of rich people problems.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Like she could have just said cars, yeah, you know,
but I'm actually glad she said it because it really
like really shows you know, what she went through married
to him.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, and she talked a lot about Burken bags, and
they talked a lot about Burkins and marks on the
show yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Another rich person's problem. She was obsessed with this one
Burken bag.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
That was close to one hundred thousand dollars and her
sister ended up getting it. It was just like she
was no, I know, like she it was like a
four minute story about this like extravagant handbag. But I
mention it because I have a book club coming up
November sixth at the Newberry Hotel with Marissa Meltzer, who
wrote the book about Jane Burkin, which is what the
(17:17):
Burken bag is named after, Jane Burkin. So the book
club is about that, And I posted the link to
the book club. If you want to come, it's at
Lisa Donovan one eight.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
So even though we may never have a Burkin never
none of us and a lot of people listening to
this show, we can learn about where they come from
and why they're so popular.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Yep, the backstory, I think secretly, I don't truss.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's the way above mine.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
You've got to know someone who knows someone that's like.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, new research suggesting now that's in Taylor Swift song
about Travis's junk came out. He's been playing much better
on the field. This is not a joke because before
the lease of Wood the song, Travis had fifteen catches
for one hundred and eighty eight yards and one touchdown.
After the release of the song, in just two games,
(18:10):
he had thirteen catches for one hundred and thirty nine
yards and one touchdown.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
And there you go, travel I would his love was
the key.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, you know what he's doing. He's strutting and stuff. Yes,
now the word is out.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
I've never been referred to as a Redwood tree, and
I don't think I ever will.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Britney's ex Kevin Federline getting a lot of attention for
his memoir, which is among other things, says he caught
Britney cheating with him with a woman in bed, and
at least of Brittany now is responding to all these accusations.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
She went on AX yesterday and said, the constant gaslighting
for my ex husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting. I
have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with
my boys. Relationships with teenage boys as complex. Yeah, she
said that she's going to try and reach out to
the two of them. I think Preston is Sean Preston's
twenty and Jayden's nineteen.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
But her book publish.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Her pr person said that sadly this book comes out
after child support has ended.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
With Kevin.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Okay, who's going to read that book? You're going to
have him in the book club.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
I don't think I will, But I actually think a
lot of people will read that book.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Yeah, in the money, Okay. So during the course of
the Billy and Lisa Morning Show, I go in and
out of the studio, as does Lisa, and usually when
I walk into my office for some reason later in
the show, the Mark and Kelly Show is on the at.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Least Billy's on a Mark and Kelly obsession right now,
I'm tetually a fan of the show. Yeah, I like
Mark and Suelos.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
But it's very well produced.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, they definitely turned up the heat on production on
that show anyway. So I walk in yesterday and they
introduced this boy band, right, apparently that was on the
X Factor Show or one of those shows making the band,
and I hope you get the name of the band right,
but I think it's Morning to Sunshine or something like that. Whatever.
It's four kids, right, two of which are from the
(20:13):
US and the other two from Australia. But you're ready
for this. Their song is written by Benson Boone and
they're performing in Boston. This is like totally by accident.
I saw them yesterday and now they're in Boston tomorrow
night at Royale.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
So justin you know, I knew you were going to
say this.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We got to get to the record guy, and we
got to get these guys in. This would be their
biggest interview yet. I mean, I love the Mark and
Kelly show, but this is the Billy and Lisa Morning
Joe guy.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
If anyone's listening that has a connection to Royale, make
my life easier and just reach out to me on Instagram.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Please, Yeah, let's get the Royale people on it, and
while out of I'll book Kelly and Mark two. Hey,
we're brought to you by Wilson Farm. How about pumpkins,
Mom's hot cider donuts. It's all fall at Wilson Farm
in Lexington. And by the way, while you're there, explore
their Pumpkin Village, which is open weekends through October from
(21:07):
eleven am until five pm. And you can enjoy photo
ops those are always fun, potato blasters and all that
fall fund. Just go to Wilsonfarm dot com for more
and there you go, Happy Halloween.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
I love getting dressed up, I love the candy, and
I love scaring people.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Silly Lisa.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So when we go to restaurants, we all have our
own pet peeves, right, I know I've got a couple,
Like when they ask me what kind of water I want?
How about something wet?
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Or if you go out to dinner with a handful
of people and some guy just decides to order apps
for the table, Like, I don't even know this guy,
How does he know? What? If I'm going to like
anything he's ordering? But the servers, the wait staff they
have their own pet peeves about things we do lees
that bug them exactly.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
So we have the top three or four things that
really bug servers. The number one thing that they've said
on TikTok recently is that when a table of twenty
walks in without a reservation, there's only one server on
the floor and they all want separate checks.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That is a nightmare situation.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, but what would be the solution today?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, a lot of people I know, I've been to restaurants.
Speaker 5 (22:21):
If we've been there with big groups, there are only
so many credit cards that they can take.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Oh, you know, the limit as a limit.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
So I've been with a big group and usually one
person will step up and say, you know what, I'll
pay for it, and then you guys just vento me.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Right, that's like the easiest way to do it.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
So I've done that way before and it's not gone good?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Are you getting your money?
Speaker 6 (22:44):
Getting the money from every single person? And then you
feel weird asking them because you don't want to ask
they forgot what's the limit? That's what I want to
know of people, you know, So we've done it when
there's like five or six guys, we've split the but
we don't say each our own separate checks. Will say
split it evenly, yes, amongst us. But I wonder what
(23:04):
the limit is, you know, is it five people, is
it ten people? I mean, there's probably not a certain
number of cards, but I get that that's annoying. You know,
we tip extra just because we know it's enough, of course,
but if you're out with the group.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
My thing is usually one of us will pay, knowing
that the next time we're out one.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Of the other people.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
That's another way to do it too, if you go
out with the same group of people. The number two
thing on a list for a server is when a
table of high school students walks.
Speaker 6 (23:30):
In yep, oh boy, yeah. Yeah. So this this one
translates to translates from me to the gym. Yeah, because
I'm in support of anybody at any age going to
the gym. I think it's a wonderful thing. But there's
this trend if you go to the gym, you know
what I'm talking about of high school kids, younger kids,
and what they do is they gather around equipment.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh my god, that's happening to me right now.
Speaker 6 (23:53):
And the why in trust and they do one of
the time, and then they'll just sit there and talk
and they're on their phones. Yes, and it's like a
whole like I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, a lot of them, even if they're alone, will
sit at a machine in between sets, right, so I
can just get on their phone and start talking to
people and searching things and I'm like, could you get
off the machine please?
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Yeah. So I can see at the restaurant how this
would translate there too, when they walk and.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You're like, oh, oh god, this is going to be
a night because.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Not only you thinking they're going to make a huge
mess and maybe pains in the in the butt, but
they're also probably not going to leave a huge tip.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
No, that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
And half of them are going to give you a
fake ID.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
The next one is all servers have been cut for
the night. You're the only one left on the floor
and you have to roll all the silverware in the
entire restaurant.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
What a nightmare.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
I know. I served for one week. I was a
line cook and I did serve for one week. And
let me tell you, my worst memory was rolling silverware.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yes, well mine was filling up the ketchups.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh that's another one.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, all the condiments. It was just such a pain
in the neck.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's such a hard do you know I never told
you justin I just told Lisa. I was a waiter
one night for one night only, and I quit.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Where was this?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
It was a really cool place in Boston called Jason's
and I ended up being the DJ at the club instead.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
You switched from waiter to TDJ billy host. I was
a waiter one day, but I just couldn't deal with that.
I think it was half way through the first night.
I just said, this isn't for me.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I actually really enjoyed working in restaurants.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I did. I liked it.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
I liked it. I like serving, but I liked the atmosphere.
It's a tough job, man, it is dealing with people.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
You got to like juggle so many, like different orders
coming in and who came in first, and you know,
it's it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
But I I liked it. I worked at the Atlantic
Fish Company in Chesta Hill.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Did you work at Cheers?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I did. I was the receptionist.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Receptionist at the Hampshire House.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
At the Hampshire House.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
That was fun and we would we would go out
afterwards like all the servers.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I had a great time.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Okay, So that's our list. But we have a lot
of people that listen to this show who work in
restaurants and probably our servers and definitely have their own
pet peeves.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I have a couple of things to act really quickly. Yeah,
one I saw recently at a restaurant which I was
like appalled by. There was a people at a table
next to us. The server was taking everybody's order. They
got to this one girl and she was on her
phone while she ordered. Oh like, did not even look
up at the service. She was talking and giving her
order while scrolling on problems. She wasn't looking at the
(26:29):
menu in her phone because the menu was right.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Then I watched her. She was scrolling, but not a menu.
It looks like pictures, see what I mean. There are
so many good ones. So we want to hear from
the wait staff out there, all the weight people give
us your pet peeves.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
So a couple of minutes ago, Lecia had a long
list of pet peeves that waitstaff would have complaints about
us as restaurant goers, right.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Exactly one.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
The top one was with tabletop of twenty walks in
with no residservation and then they went all separate checks.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, and that's the biggest one, right, that's really the
biggest thing, is it? Justin? My boy, Captain Mike Ka,
please tell me you don't go out to dinner with
your grown men friends and have the server split the tab.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Yeah, it's only like four of us, and you know
we haven't gone out recently. Yeah, it might be different.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Now yeah, well, guess what, Justin, We've got your cousin
Jackie on the phone right now. No way, he wants
to join the conversation. Hey, hey, Jackie, what's going on?
Give us some dirt on Justin?
Speaker 6 (27:35):
No, no, no call on the topic, Jackie. Please.
Speaker 16 (27:40):
I don't have that much dirt on Justin. He's pretty
open about his past, so I would say he's a
pretty honest guy, so you know, I don't really have
much shirt on him.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Okay, now give us the dirt on restaurants on us.
Speaker 16 (27:52):
So one of my biggest huppis so I worked in
a restaurant for about fifteen years that one of the
biggest things was when you say down, they would provide
you with like bread and they're like oil and romano
cheese dip. And we used to get kids come in
all the time, late night, like nine p forty five,
we close it ten and they'd be like, oh yeah,
can we just get some bread and water? I'm like,
(28:13):
what is this prison?
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Like what was going on?
Speaker 16 (28:16):
And that was and it was like the end of
the night. We're trying to clean up, tossing the broad
away because we don't have anyone coming in, and like
a group of five or six kids would come in
and be like, we.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Just get some bread.
Speaker 16 (28:25):
It's like they wouldn't even they were dirty a table,
wouldn't leave any money or tip, and we're like, okay,
so what just happened?
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I had that said they wouldn't order anything, like not
even a soda now, No.
Speaker 16 (28:37):
We'd just get bread and water. And I was like, okay,
I feel like they're in prison.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I wouldn't allowed. I wouldn't think so I think you
would have to order something.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
Well, they're probably stoned out of their minds, all right.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Start the chairs, Yeah, probably.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
All right, good one jacket, Jack, thank you. I wanted
to keep it on the phone to talk more about Justin,
but we'll do that another time.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
No, she was right out. I'm pretty honest. I don't
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Let's go to Michelle, she's in Quincy. Michelle joined the conversation.
What have we got?
Speaker 12 (29:05):
I was going to say that I think I'm no
longer a server, but when I was, like, the worst
would be one getting flagged down by a table, just
in general. But even worse when you are walking with
like an armful of plates for another table and they're
trying to, you know, flag you down to ask for
something like on your way to do something else. I
(29:25):
think that's the worst.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
You know, what I've always been impressed with is sometimes
you can walk by with a tray of Martini's in
one hand, balancing them without dropping a drips. How do
they do?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
That's the talent?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Did you do that when you were waiting?
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I can't remember, but hopefully I did.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I don't know what a talent. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
You have to see them. They have the trades going
up their arm, yes, the food of the drinks. Yeah,
I always think what if they drop?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I used to get so nervous when someone would order
a bottle of wine, because again I was like in
my early twenties and then you have to open it
up at the table and then you're struggling with the
cork and it's like so embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think it's gotten a lot easier because more and more,
even good wines are now twist tops.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
So my wife worked at Tuscan Kitchen. Oh yeah, yeah,
and she had to go through a week of training
and it was like super helpful to her all about wine.
She had to learn how the meat was made, the
cheeses so she could talk about the food and the
wine at the table.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
So Joe Farrell, who owns the Duskan Kitchens, is a
good friend of mine, believe it or not. For a
couple of weeks he has trials where he invites people
from the public to command so the people can practice
everything they've learned on wines and cheeses and everything else.
So it's pretty comprehensive.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Yeah. And by the way, that was not what I
told the story before my wife throwing the change back
in the guys the customers face, that's what I might
Tuskin that was at a previous restaurant.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Retell the story because it's one of my favorites of
all time.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Well, you know, it was happening a lot where at
this restaurant she would serve at, these people would come
in and they would like the bill would be forty
nine dollars, fifty dollars like a one dollar tip. So
this one guy came in with his family and the
bill was something like ninety nine dollars and ninety eight
dollars and he left one hundred bucks a dollar a
(31:12):
dollar change, so she had enough. So as he was
walking out, she got his change all in coins and
walked up to him and said, sir, you're change and
he turned around. He said no, no, no, hunh that's
for you, and she just whipped the change rate in
his face. She got written up.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
It was a whole and say did you get in trouble?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Of course she did. She didn't get fired because they
kind of understood, but yeah, what are you doing. I'm
surprised the tipping thing hasn't come up in this conversation.
That's for you, Yeah, that's for you.
Speaker 8 (31:37):
God Hi, This is Alison from Attleborough and I served
in bartended for years and one of my biggest pet
peeves was when customers would wave their hand at you
to get your attention, or even worse they would snap
their fingers at you, as if you were some sort
of dog that they could beckon.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
That's awful.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
That happened, so rude. It's great getting this side of it,
their side about us.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Yeah, who snaps their fingers?
Speaker 3 (32:07):
That's horrib does that?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
My first pet peeve is when someone snaps their fingers
at you. I am not a dog. Please don't do that.
You do not need to do that to get my attention.
I'll be over in a minute. And the other is
when people don't pick up after their young kids. I
totally get it. I'm a mom, I have young kids,
but please don't leave a tornado and a disaster behind
after your dinner. Just pick up the couple things or
(32:32):
plate or whatever they do.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, just try your best. Yeah, sleme up after your kids.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Justin You know who snaps their fingers? The guy that
left the coins for Jen.
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Oh yeah, there he goes. He's definitely a finger snapper
for sure.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (32:47):
One other thing with my wife a pet peeves. You're
served for a long time. So people do this thing.
I can't demonstrate it like live, but when they want
it a refill on their drink. Oh yeah, yeah, when
she's walking by the table. If it's empty, they'll slurp
out of it very loudly.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
I thought you were going to say, they shake the glass.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
That'd be worth No, they'll, you know, she'll, they'll drink
out of it and make that sound, you know, like
it's the drives are crazy so much. I can't do
it in the house. She starts yelling at me when
I do it.
Speaker 9 (33:17):
Good morning, Chris from Salem. I am a part time
server in downtown Salem, so it's the craziest time of
the year. But my biggest pet peeve has to be
when you order water for the whole table and it
doesn't get drunk. Don't order the water if you're not
going to drink it.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
See, they've got a lot of complaints about us. There
are things we do we don't even know we're doing.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, you don't gotta worry about bill though.
Then they without telling you. If you say i'll just
have sparkling, they bring you a giant bomb.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
I've had water all day.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
I'm here to relax. I would like a cocktail costing
sometimes water. Yeah, you want still sparkling, and they will
bring you a giant gallon bottle of sparkling water. I
just wanted a glass of sparkling water. Either way, I
don't even like sparkling water.
Speaker 6 (34:10):
I'm a sparkling guy.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Oh yeah, I'm a tap water girl.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I always said, yeah, just take it from the tap. Okay,
I'll take bilge water if that's all you have. Something wet.
Speaker 11 (34:22):
My peeve is when you ask the table au they're
ready to order, and they say yeah, and you go
to take the order and they're like, hmmm, would you
get the chicken palm or the fish and chips? Well, ma'am,
you're not ready to.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Order, are you so true?
Speaker 10 (34:37):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (34:38):
The other thing is someone as a server if they're
annoyed by people that order things that are on the menu,
but then they want it to be made this way. Oh,
and then they don't want this sauce, they want something else,
and then they want this taken off. And it's not
an allergy situation. It's just a preference. I wonder if
that's a big one.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Well, keep in mind it's a problem for the staff
in the kitchen. They're like, oh, really right, really the
menu is not good enough?
Speaker 6 (35:01):
Okay, hun, you know you want to customize.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Yeah, it's like like one thing is fine, but like
three things, it's like, well, why don't you just order
something else?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Yeah? Or if you get a beautiful steakhouse, right and
you come out you're the chef, you walk by a
table and they're sprinkling ketchup on his steak. Oh yeah.
Speaker 17 (35:19):
You have to work at a golf course and the
leagues would come in at night and there would be
upwards of probably twenty twenty five people at one table,
and they would all have separate checks.
Speaker 13 (35:31):
So that's what I would do.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I would separate it out and swipe twenty five different
cart Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
That is a nightmare.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
How much time that.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
It's such a nightmare.
Speaker 13 (35:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
And then when they close out at night, it's just
more work.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
More work, And they've got other tables. So while she's
doing all this calculating, the other tables are not waiting around.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Because in the serving industry, right, it's time. Time is
so important, you know, and if you know your time's
being held up, And now with people like you.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Know they used to bring if you went with the
big group, now Venmo's everywhere, it's just so easy to
kind of like be able to do it without handing
over twenty cards, right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
Venmo each other. Yeah, let's go to Nina and Weymouth
online too.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Hey Nina, good morning. What have you got to add?
Speaker 18 (36:14):
Hey, good morning? Oh my god, the worst pet peeve.
I worked at Joe's in Dedham before it closed, and
they would have the same two different couples would come
order food and then always like make some sort of
complaint so they could get a discount or get the
whole meal taken off. Oh it was unbelievable. Oh yeah,
(36:35):
oh yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Do you know there are people that do that, knowing
on their way to the restaurant they're going to do that.
They're going to come up with a complaint, hoping they
get a discount half off or they get the meal
free or Yeah.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
Wasn't there a story of a guy who got arrested
because he was faking heart attacks at restaurants really so
he didn't have to pay the bill. I saw that story.
That's a that's classic right there.
Speaker 12 (37:00):
You know.
Speaker 18 (37:00):
I kind of feel like there's a possibility that Bill Costa.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
Might be a finger snapper set snapping his fingers and
being like, hey, do you know who I am?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
I am?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
The Dining Playbook serve me,
