Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on kids.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
All right, Good morning, everybody, let's get this Tuesday going.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
I'm Justin.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
It is the Billy and Lisa Show. That's Billy Costa,
Lisa Donovan, myself, Justin and Winnie. Producer Riley's here. We
have a lot to get to this morning, but I
want to start with this. Recently, Jordan Hudson, that's Bill
Belichick's girlfriend, was in a beauty pageant in Portland, Maine,
and we sent an undercover listener there to take notes.
Her name is Sarah from Maine, and yes she lives
(00:33):
in Portland, Maine.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Good morning, Sarah from Maine.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Good morning, team, how are you today?
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Good?
Speaker 6 (00:38):
It's actually good to talk with you because we all
always get the talkbacks.
Speaker 7 (00:41):
Sarah. I was waiting for this all weekend.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Literally, okay, I was so.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh sorry, I was so I was happy to do it.
And you know, flex these journalistic skills and be your
official correspondent up here in the North.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
While you did a great job. We loved your reporting.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
You sent in several reports from the scene where Jordan,
Bill Belichick's girlfriend was competing in the pageant.
Speaker 8 (01:08):
I think for a second time.
Speaker 6 (01:10):
Last year she finished runner up and second, and this
year not so much.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Right, she didn't get the Belichick bump.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
That's correct. And you know, I'd never been to a
pageant before, and I learned a lot. So the runner
up actually takes the responsibilities of Miss Maine if for
some reason she cannot fulfill them. And so I think
that you know, Jordan, who have received even third place
(01:37):
with all the bad press around her, was that was
actually very kind of them to give her that because
you know, I also learned how much these you know, misnames,
these beauty queens go out and do during their reign.
And I mean, my gosh, if you had all the
bad press that she has rolling around, you know, it
(01:58):
would not it would not be good. And I will
say the contestants were lovely. They did a fantastic job.
Everyone was great. Alaria said, Bill.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
He was locked in ye row, I saw your post.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, he was front row, he was engaged, he was
looking up the whole time. He wasn't really. It was
classic Bill Belichick, like whether he's on the sidelines at
a football game or the sidelines of a beauty pageant.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
He's in.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
He wasn't looking at his phone, he wasn't showing a
lot of emotion, not really like cheering, clapping, but but
he was in. He was locked in.
Speaker 9 (02:36):
Did you there, did you witness Bill and Jordan's father
talking and all?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, So I definitely I didn't realize that was her father.
I thought that was her brother. He's very young, so io.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Bill Belichick can be Jordan's father's father.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Easily, if not father's father's father. Wow, yeah, yeah. I
was hoping to maybe get a little bit closer, but
they definitely, you know, he was bodyguard roped off. I
tried to. I got a little bit of a video
and then he totally looked at me taking a video,
and then I panicked.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
Was the bodyguard for Bill or for Jordan?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I think for Bill, I would assume. I mean, Jordan
was up on stage and there was you know there
really there weren't a ton of people in attendance. It
was definitely mostly families. And I gotta say, and she
was also not the person who got the loudest cheers,
like there were a bunch of girls who Yeah, and
(03:41):
now I said in my when I talk back, there
wasn't a lot of drama. There really wasn't. The biggest
thing was when they announced that she was the second
runner up. She got such a little sour puss on
her face. I saw, Yeah, it was very un beauty
(04:02):
pageant of her.
Speaker 10 (04:04):
It was.
Speaker 11 (04:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
It's interesting though, because the winner, the first place winner,
loses because all the attentions on Jordan and she came
in third place, and nobody talks about the woman that won.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I know, and I feel I feel bad, although you
know what, then she'll go out and she'll do her
thing for a year and she'll you know, and honestly,
at the end of the day, like who care?
Speaker 9 (04:30):
That's why do you think? Why do you think this
girl beat out Jordan?
Speaker 12 (04:36):
Well?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, first of all, this girl was stunning.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
I was.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I was messaging Justin during the pageant and I was like, oh,
I'm calling it now. Bangor and Cumberland County are going
to be the top two. Not Jordan's Jordan. Again, no
hate or shade, She's She's a gorgeous girl, but she
has a bit of a different look and I I
think that these girls have a little bit more of
(05:02):
a girlish look to them, and they look now a
little bit more beauty pageant, girlish look and again they
won because you can't have Miss Maine have it being
banned from the unc SI. Yeah wins, Yeah, whoever wins
(05:24):
is about to go play in the Drive for Cure,
you know, golf tournament with Patrick Dempsey. You can't have
Patrick Dempsey.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Wait a minute, doctor dream is involved?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What?
Speaker 8 (05:37):
Wait a minute, I gotta know what?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
So what are.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
The responsibilities of Miss Maine, like like the John Deere
showcase or something like what job?
Speaker 8 (05:47):
Like what exactly do they do.
Speaker 6 (05:50):
Like ring the cow bell on the farm fest or
like I don't like.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Well, like I just said, go to the Drive for
the Cure and they play alongside Patrick Dempsey.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I did.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I saw that last year. You know it's a little cringe.
That's okay. Yeah, I think they're you know, they trot
them around. I oh wait I read it.
Speaker 9 (06:14):
Wait wait I have mean so Sarah, I have to
ask one more detail. It was reported that when she
came out in her swimsuit, did she come out to
Pink Pony Club by Chapel Roone.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Oh yeah, okay.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Please don't ever make me see that video?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
And we go there comes Jordan's second runner up.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
What's up, Boston, I'm Justin Bieber. Just turn up this
party right now and we're.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Wait, so you have to understand the way it works
around here, Okay, Justinthan.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Then we get in about four or four thirty in
the morning, and.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Justin seems like he always has a story, right, lad, Yes.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
There's always something going on in that studio.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
And for the past few days, like most of last week,
he's coming and says, something weird is going on.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Like everywhere I go during the course of day, I'm
hearing this weird big name.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
He would pull and go at.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Least do you hear that? Okay, I'm like, yeah I do.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
It was here and at home, Well, it started here
at work. I started to hear this sound.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
You know this sound?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, it tells you that your smoke detector needs batteries exactly.
So it sounded like it was coming from the corridor
outside the Kiss one O Wait studios. Okay, So it
was every day. It was bothering me. Right, I'm like, somebody,
figure out, I'm out there looking for the smoke detector.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I want to find it.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I emailed the head of engineering asking him to please
replace the batteries.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Okay. So then I go home, okay, yeah, and I
hear this the right Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
So I can't figure out which smoke detector it is.
So I'm standing at the smoke detectors waiting to hear
the sound and I can't. So I take all the
batteries in my house and I replace all of them upstairs.
And then I sit down and I'm watching TV and
I hear and I'm like, are.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
You planning on going home today to replace.
Speaker 8 (08:00):
All the batteries of.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Double A's to go downstairs to Nonny's house, my mother
in law.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
And replace all that happening at work and at home.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I got to myself, Wow, this is crazy, but it
does happen. You don't replace bad Okay, that's true. So
then on Friday, Santi and Ashley came by to say
goodbye from the Jaman Show down to show.
Speaker 6 (08:20):
Yeah, and so then they're in here talking and it
goes off and they go, what's that sound.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I said, well, it's the smoke detective and they're like,
oh my god, you got to get that fixed. Like
I know, I sent an email to engineering. Okay, follow
me now. So now all weekend it's going off in
my house. So this morning they text me first thing
and they said, hey, ours is going off down here
at the Jammin studio. Can you screenshot the email you
sent to the engineering So I screenshot it and I
(08:49):
sent to him and they're like, okay, we're going to
try to get this fixed for you.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So then after that conversation, I start getting talkbacks from
our listeners about the smoke detective.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
I heard you guys were having issues with your batteries.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And your smoke detectors and building okay.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So now I'm like, okay, they must be talking about
their issue, which is my issue as well.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Anybody over there need any nine volt batteries.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
And it's something you never know you need. The nine
vaults are always missing.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And then finally I got another talk back of somebody saying, hey,
justin if you look behind the TV in your studio,
maybe you'll find it. And that's when I knew I
knew something was going on. It was a prank.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Santy from Jammin was at it again. Where do you
come up with these ideas?
Speaker 13 (09:38):
I saw this product on the TikTok shop so I
bought it. I think each one of them was like
fifteen bucks, so I bought two of them. And then
I thought the perfect person was obviously him, because Justin
is a go to person because he's.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So mad, like all the time.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I'm not mad, so yeah, off here.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (09:54):
But I also know that he goes to the bathroom
at a certain time, So when he passed the studio
one time, I ran down him behind the TV and
took off, and then I put the second one in,
like I think last Wednesday, right in his bag because
that way like like it's like it's just happening here.
But then he goes home, it's following him in the car.
It's like just around the house hopefully to get this
(10:15):
entire reaction, and its totally not know.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
When you're in the car, it's going off in the
bag and the bags probably in your back seat or
the passengers.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Because I listened to music or I'm on the phone
loud too, so that would have that would have blew it.
But I mean, everyone in my house is all up
in arms about the smoke detector. They can't figure it out.
Have you called Jen your wife yet and tell her?
And you found the source. I texted her. She hasn't
texted me back, but it's in It's in the trash.
I threw it away late last night. I ended up
finding it. I didn't know what it was though, so
(10:42):
I was going through my gy Yeah, it's a little
thing and it says you've been pranked, but it doesn't
say what it.
Speaker 13 (10:47):
Is, and then you can turn it on in it if.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
You saw it last night.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Bill didn't know. I had no idea. Well, I had
a thought maybe it was santy, but it just says
you've been pranked. It says in the say anything about us?
Sound under her?
Speaker 14 (11:00):
Yeah, but you didn't even put together this morning when
they asked for the email.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Didn't put it together.
Speaker 13 (11:04):
Well, because you don't assume that somebody's gonna pull that
type of prank on you with like a fire alarm.
You just think that fire alarms are actually happening. Yeah,
because it's relatable, right.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Totally, everyone's been through it.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I'm starting to think, like you need a hobby or something.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
Because.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
I've ever met the chops at the TiO, Like, I've
never even heard the.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Thing from there.
Speaker 13 (11:25):
Why if I think on this last time around, she
was up, she was upsetting me.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
She's like, what are you doing? You're almost forty five?
Speaker 13 (11:30):
Like, you need to stop with all these games, but
I can't because they're like so much fun and they
pay off every single time.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Oh you got him? Yeah, this was a good one.
Speaker 13 (11:38):
I think after this one, like I have to stop
because how can I top this?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
What do you think your best one of all time was?
Speaker 13 (11:43):
I think it's this one. I think it's this one
because it lasted like a week and it followed him
homeolving other people.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
It was a moment. So so listen to this, right, billy.
I was.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
I was at home Friday night watching a movie with
Abel and it goes off and he goes, Dad, I
don't know what that is.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Hold on.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I go out there and I stood under the smoke
detector in my living room for ten minutes waiting, which
we've done that.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Yeah, Because you hear it in your house, you're like,
where's it coming?
Speaker 6 (12:09):
And they're not usually easy to get to the smoke detector.
You have to get on a ladder exactly.
Speaker 13 (12:14):
And that's why you don't assume that it's a prank
or some forty five year old from war games.
Speaker 7 (12:19):
This is the best one ever.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I don't know, this might be the My favorite Santy
one was the April Fool's Day prank when they tied
a mannequin to the balloons and they flew out and
then Santy called in pretending he was he was the person.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Of the people.
Speaker 13 (12:32):
The police, and then the police came and the police like,
what are you doing.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
I'm like, I'm just pretending like it's that. It's like,
get the balloons down, But it does happen.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You remember, you know Obama when he was president, he
once gave a speech from the Oval Office and the
smoke detector went off.
Speaker 9 (12:49):
Noaving because we speak, our nation faces a multitude of
challenges at home.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Our top priority is now that wasn't you.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
From one to Wait Studio.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
So we're back with Villy and Lisa in the morning
kissin eight.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
This next moment is gonna be very cool. Special guest
in the building. The name is Patrick Hines. What up, everybody,
It is justin here. Welcome back Billy and Lisa's show.
Patrick Hines is a former intern of this show who
has gone on to do many great things, including having
one of the biggest podcasts in the world.
Speaker 15 (13:25):
I heard on the after show that Patrick Hines will
be in studio on Friday, and I cannot wait to
listen to his segment. I started listening to his true
Crime Obsessed podcast the last time he was on your show,
and if you haven't listened to it yet, you have
to get on that. A big fan of Patrick, You've
read his book, and I'm excited for Frider's show.

So you love this.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Oh my god, I do.
Speaker 11 (13:51):
It is such an honor and a thrill to be here.
May I tell you I, as you know, I interned
you for you for a year in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I remember it like.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Everyone was like, they don't remember you. I was like,
I know, I know.
Speaker 11 (14:04):
I was not a memorable figure in nineteen ninety eight,
but I remember you guys, and it was so life changing.
And I remember every day being like, maybe today's day
they're gonna ask me to be on the air. Maybe
today's the day they're gonna ask me to be on
the air. And it never happened, But here I am.
I can't I can't believe it.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
So we wouldn't even let you in this room.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Bare Now you're at the big.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Well, I'm so old and I'm from so long ago
that we were actually across the street at the other
at the.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Other building, and but you all did let me in
the room. I remember.
Speaker 11 (14:32):
This was back when the ads I think were on
like plastic tapes or something. Oh the cards, Yes, the cards,
and so I would come in in between like ad
breaks and stack them up for you or for Corin
or whoever it was. I was putting them in the
in the mission. That was the only time I got
to be in the room where it happened. But every
time I would look around and be like, oh my god,
it's happening Maddy in the Morning show and Billy, and
(14:53):
I was saying before we started, you all were so
famous to me, like so so so famous I was.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I couldn't believe I was there.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Uh, well, it's a great time. And we were talking
off air. The grouping of interns that we had at
that time was amazing because Jody Charles uh kind of
ran the board.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
She was the executive producer.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
She was I think Carinn was right and that Jody
was my bossing the book looking exactly yeah, yeah, do.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
You know that.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Jody Charles went on to become the press secretary for
Mitt Romney when he was governor. No, from this show
to press secretary for the governor of that.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Jody was so smart.
Speaker 11 (15:32):
She was very work driven, very focusing, and that does
not surprise me at all.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
I mean, you didn't like her at the time, but
didn't like her, but that was her one in the
grouping of interns.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
Now I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Her name was Jordana, Yes, and didn't she do something
weird in New York City where she lied naked in
a glass box to day.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
Look, I this vaguely rings the bell. I see it
talking about when when the people were like you.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I remember you.
Speaker 11 (16:00):
I'm like, of course he doesn't remember me, but he'll
remember Geordana. And I've got to meet you in the
hallway and you were like.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I'm like, I know you don't remember me, but I
was here with Jordana. You're like George. Of course.
Speaker 11 (16:09):
She was just like young, very smart, beautiful, young woman
and she she would always do crazy things like that.
She was always like auditioning for like v H one,
DJ J for a day or whatever.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
She was the original reality star reality shows kicked.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
Yes, and she was like obsessed with John Stamos. I
remember that was like her business. Who isn't currently who
still isn't obsessed with John Stamos.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
You know I was also here, Remember Randy, Randy was
like the.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Okay, Randy was my intern, Yes, and he became our
stunt guy.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (16:40):
Well I was here the day that he broke onto
the film set and shoved a cell phone into George
Clooney's hands.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
George Clooney, that's a legendary star.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I was in the studio that day.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
George Clooney was shooting the Batman movie in Glocester, Massachusetts,
and we sent Randy in a robin suit, yes, as
Batman's raw Yeah, and some I said, just keep getting
past the gate.
Speaker 8 (17:03):
Just just said.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You know how you did it.
Speaker 11 (17:05):
What you told him to do was that the mayor
was on the phone for George. They walked him to
George and you hear him on the tape go, I'm sorry,
it's the mayor, and then it's Matt Siegel the other
end of the phone.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Randy was in the dressing room with George Coloney.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, Batman, I'm Rob and I've arrived and I'm like,
this really isn't happening, and well, I remember.
Speaker 11 (17:27):
In the studio there was like some red police siren
that started going off, like it was.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Like the hotline.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Oh yeah, it was a wild time.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It was incredible to me.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
So, what if anything from your experience here on this
show led you to be able to do something that
gets two hundred and fifty million views.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well that's an old number. We're over four hundred million time.
Speaker 11 (17:50):
No, that's not you, that's I. Look if that's our team,
that's our team who sent that to you? I I
was like, I was thinking about this last night.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I actually got emotional in my hotel room.
Speaker 11 (17:59):
I was like, it wasn't working for you all was
like a life changer because I was just this like
poor kid from Cape cod who got a scholarship to
go to Emerson and and I wanted to be an actor.
And I quickly learned I was no good at that.
I was this little gay boy with this like high
pitched voice.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
And didn't know what I was going to do in
the world. And I came and.
Speaker 11 (18:17):
Worked for you guys, and I my eyes were open
to like fabulousness and famous people and like and and
working among that was like possible for me.
Speaker 6 (18:27):
Well, it's funny because off the air you mentioned that
you were from Yarmouth down in the Cape, and I said, oh,
a couple of weeks ago, I shot the TV show
in South Yarmouth, yea Red Jacket, and you worked there.
Speaker 11 (18:38):
I worked at the Red Jacket for like six years,
and that was another the two most the most formidable
things in my work life were the Red Jacket and
working for you guys.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
We say we were at.
Speaker 11 (18:48):
Least ahead of the red of the Red Jacket for sure,
for sure, but you know you all took me seriously
and you gave me an opportunity. I'm a very hard worker,
and you gave me the opportunity to do that. And
so you know, I when I moved to New York
and I found my way to podcasting, I was saying
to you like this was my only experience.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Working in audio was working with you guys.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
And I remember when I was working in bookings for
you guys, we used to send at Christmas, we would send.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Like little gifts to like the big agencies. I remember what.
Speaker 11 (19:15):
We would send them to Avenue of the Americas, and
that sounded so fabulous to me. And now I live
in New York. I'm like, oh, it's just sixth Avenue,
like you know, and I see it all the time and.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm like, oh my god, I did it.
Speaker 11 (19:25):
But you know, working for you guys is in my
book that I that I wrote, and it's in my dimensions.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
I'm in your book. You are wow.
Speaker 11 (19:33):
So my book is called a failure is not not
an option.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
It's the twelve silly.
Speaker 11 (19:38):
Stories of like my biggest most embarrassing failures in my life.
And one of them is about a weekend or really
just a night that I spent with the actress b
Arthur from The Golden Girls.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Of course, yes I was. I was asked to be
her host.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
In a Minute you slept with Beyond, I.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
Had sex with the Arthur, the only woman I've ever
been with and weirdly the most masculine sexual experience to
my life.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
But it was amazing for both of us.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
I'm sure it was.
Speaker 6 (20:05):
It was to remember that I call show this and
by the way, you are a best seller.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yes, yes, the book was the best seller.
Speaker 11 (20:13):
And but I got that gig being her host and
guide for the weekend because I had lied to my
friends at school who had invited her to come receive
an award talking about all of the celebrities that I
worked with on The Maddie in the Morning Show, which
you all probably smartly kept me away from all the letlaries.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I never worked at any of the celebrities, but I.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Well, you have a very high pitch for I know,
I'm very loud.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I'm very loud, but I I uh so.
Speaker 11 (20:38):
Anyway, there's a whole chapter in my book about like
when I when I gave up the idea of being
an actor, I got an internship working for you guys,
and what it was like to like work on The
Maddie in the Morning Show.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
It was just like wild and wonderful and so great.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
So what makes your podcast so damn popular?
Speaker 9 (20:53):
Well?
Speaker 11 (20:53):
So true True Grum Obsessed is my original podcast. We've
been at it for nine years, and I think that
the fact that it's a true grum I guess by
itself automatically puts it in a a in a genre
that people just really love and respond to.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Ours is really different from others.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
We recap true crime documentaries and we started doing that
before the documentary craze. You know, it's me and my
co host, Julian Pensavali. So it's like a loud gay
guy and this like super opinionated, sassy girl, and we
sort of just like no holds barred. We say everything
we think. We sort of just like leave it all
on the floor. It's very high energy, it's very fast paced,
(21:28):
and it's and it's funny, you know it's it's it's
fun and endearing.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
You got a talkback Justin you guys.
Speaker 12 (21:33):
I'm so excited Patrick Hines is coming on. My worlds
are Colliding Jillian and Patrick to kind Obsessed one of
my very favorite podcasts. So glad to listen.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Okay, these talkbacks are incredible.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
What a creation. We didn't have this when you were
here in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
This is what no we normally have electricity.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
And Justin is the godfather of the talkback mafia.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Justin, I love you, Oh thank you. I maybe we'll
have a b Arthur moment.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I don't know who.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
The day is young, the day is young.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I am married, but thank you the same.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I mean, you know, wake up, be honest, change smokers.
You're waking up with billion Lisa getting you ready to work.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
I kiss one eight.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
So this is interesting. There's a list now of the cities.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
That are the riskiest to drive in and Lisa, I'm
looking at the ten riskiest cities. Okay, yeah, these are
the riskiest cities, the most collision prone cities in the
entire country.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
At number nine, yes, it is Providence, Rhode Island.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Okay, Number five, Springfield, Massachusetts.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
At number four, Worcester, Massachusetts. Now at this.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Point, wait, this is a nationwide this is nationwide top.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Ten the country.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Yes, driving cities.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
Are you wondering what the riskiest city in America would
be in terms of driving and colliding into one another?
Speaker 7 (23:05):
Let me gas, is it Boston Villain?
Speaker 6 (23:06):
It is definitely Boston, Massachusetts, number one, number one in
the country.
Speaker 9 (23:10):
Drivers are almost three and a half times as likely
to be in an accident compared to the national average.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Well, because we're so angry and aggressive.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
We're an angry city when it comes to driving.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Everybody leaning on the horn, banging into each other.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
And you know what it is, too is I never
realized I was that way until I drive in other places. Yeah,
if I go to Florida and I'm driving in Florida,
I get like aggressive and angry, and I don't even
realize I'm doing it because they're driving too slow or
you know, yelling.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
And you know, the Northeast, which includes Boston, which is
number one, is riskier for driving overall. In the top ten,
We've got four in the top ten. We're an angry bunch.
Speaker 14 (23:51):
And New York's I mean in the top ten.
Speaker 7 (23:53):
Well, New York has a lot of public transportation options.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Yeah, Like, whenever I talk to people in New York,
they don't.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Even own a car, most don't, right, So yeah, they're
taking public transportation, which wants to be a little dangerous
to me.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
But uh yeah, well then that's a conception.
Speaker 14 (24:09):
Everyone thinks, oh new York so aggressive? There are you know,
there's so much traffic, but we have way more drivers
actually in this area, we do.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Yeah, how did we become number one?
Speaker 14 (24:18):
Oh my Billy, I'm not surprised at all. Really, it's
still aggressive.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
So let's talk about insurance rates.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
Oh they're so high, right, Oh yeah they must be.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah here they're the highest.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
I believe they're going up to every year. For what
it's worth. Texas leads the nation for safe driving.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh they'll shoot you though, for.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Most of them are on horseback. Well, Texas is easy going.
Speaker 7 (24:46):
Okay, let's wide open spaces.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Driving in Texas is so easy.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
Yeah, I've been a das a couple of they just
went in March in Literally ten miles.
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Is ten minutes. And plus they're the highways are much wider.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Like we're just trying trying to fit too many cars
into a very small space, and that creates problems. People
get angry, they start bumping into each other. Then you've
got distracted driving with all everyone on their cell phones.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Every time I get in the car now, I think
we have way too many cars.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
No matter what time, way, what road you're taking, it's
all jammed.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Oh I just feel like we're all squeezing in.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But I drove in New York recently and I almost
hit a million people with the petty cabs.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
Yeah, but they weren't.
Speaker 14 (25:28):
They weren't in the car.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That's true. I almost hit them on my car though,
that was for sure.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Yeah, I would never take a car through New York City.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
No, it's it's pretty brutal. It's pretty brutal. But yeah,
in Boston it's not. It's not even just the accidents,
it's the road rage and oh god, people get so angry.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
And then I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Like, I love bicycles, right, I love riding my bike,
but there's something about the bike lanes that make no
sense in certain cities around Boston.
Speaker 9 (25:58):
I have to say, I love biking too, but it's
been very distracting all of the new configurations of the city.
Speaker 16 (26:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Do you know in the city of Medford the bike
lanes are in the middle of the road. Now, that
doesn't seem like a good idea to me. That you've
got cars on both side of you, sides of.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
You, and now you've got these white poles too. Oh yeah,
they have to watch out for and not hit.
Speaker 14 (26:19):
Well, no offense to our biker friends, but I mean,
we don't have the climate to bike all year round,
so why are the bike lanes taking up all the
space all year round?
Speaker 6 (26:27):
That's always been a pet peeve of mine, Like why
don't they open up all the lanes when it's cold
weather and snowy weather? Why do we have to you know,
acknowledge the bike lanes and the other lanes. That bug
me is when you now park your car in the
middle of the street.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Yeah, because the bikelne, the lane closest to the curve
is a bike lane.
Speaker 7 (26:44):
It's not even more confusing.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Yeah, God, who's thinking of all this stuff?
Speaker 4 (26:49):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Number one in the whole country though. Yeah, we love
our city. Yeah, I see what I mean.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Okay, that's the anger.
Speaker 15 (27:02):
We're talking kissed one way and we're back with Billy
and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Hey, I think it was definitely correct.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
And I was telling her early. When I went to
pick up a client last Thursday Juneteenth, I went down
to East sam It normally takes me two hours from
Burlington to go to East Ham Thursday, it took me
four and a half hours. Where's the accident? It wasn't
a major accident.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Yeah, oh the Cape driving don't even get don't.
Speaker 11 (27:39):
Right?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
But you know, you know the main two problems. So
of course they brought all the people back, you know
that was working from home. That is it. But the
biggest problem that we have in Boston is since COVID,
nobody caught foos. So everybody is you.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Know what, you're right, very true.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
People are still worried to carpool think.
Speaker 7 (28:00):
Of v lane is never really that busy.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Ever, Right, Well, my thing on driving to the Cape
is you got to own a helicopter. You just can't.
Let's go to Jackie next. Jackie, You're up next. What
do you think Boston the worst in the country.
Speaker 17 (28:17):
I definitely agree with it. It's so good morning everybody.
I to me, it makes me think of like when
Boston first became a city, and I think a lot
of people don't think about. You know, the streets weren't
really streets. They were cow paths in horse treets.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Okay, that you were around when Boston became a city.
Speaker 17 (28:42):
But to me, it's it's it's it's in the it's
in the history. So now like it's not like we're
in New York City, everything is like in a block
or Washington, DC, and everything is in a circle and
like the white houses in the middle. Boston is like
tiny little streets in the alley.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
There's no mapping to it.
Speaker 10 (29:04):
It's just the way it was.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Clearly, we need to go back to horse and buggy,
you know. I can't recommend that enough.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
My friend was in Pennsylvania this weekend for wrestling tournaments
and there were horse and buggies on the road.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Amish.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Oh, yeah, pictures.
Speaker 8 (29:20):
I think that is so cool.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
It such an hour and a half away from my girl.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Oh my god, Let's go to Kim next. Kim, what
are your thoughts on this survey?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Hi?
Speaker 17 (29:31):
How are you good?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Go ahead, Kim.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
I grew up outside of Pilly, lived outside of New York.
The streets in Boston are not gritted, so when I
moved up here, it was like, and I come from
a motor family. My father invented Mobile one oil. My
I restored cars for.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
My life, and.
Speaker 7 (29:54):
Your father founded mobile one oil.
Speaker 10 (29:58):
Yeah, he invented it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Oh wow, Oh yeah, I use Mobile one oil.
Speaker 10 (30:06):
Really everybody does everybody who's smart?
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Does?
Speaker 10 (30:09):
They all come your cards? Your horses come out of
the factories, are restored courses. The old three fifty six
is the nine to eleven?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Well is your dad Bill Maxwell?
Speaker 10 (30:22):
No?
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Okay, I won't give his name out.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Why would you proud of it?
Speaker 10 (30:28):
He invented him and he invented it starting in nineteen
fifty six and brought it to market in New York.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Okay, New York? All right?
Speaker 10 (30:38):
Oh it's a great story.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Are you extremely wealthy? That's what I came about.
Speaker 10 (30:45):
No, I'm I'm extremely happy that he was given credit
for it on the patent. Ah, I'll give you the
patent number on the aside. But I'm very proud of
him for being like in the most.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Brilliant as you should as you should be.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Okay, yeah, it's not always about the money.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 14 (31:07):
If my dad had meant a mobile one oil, I
would want to trust fund.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Bill Maxwell invented the oil.
Speaker 14 (31:14):
So is he not Bill Maxwell?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Then we're on Bill Maxwell.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Well, he's he's credited the I'm not going to say
she came in the patent number.
Speaker 4 (31:25):
I think.
Speaker 14 (31:25):
Yeah, she's proud of her father, exactly, You're not that proud.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
She won't tell us his name.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Okay, let's go to Mike next. Let's get back to
the survey.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Mike.
Speaker 16 (31:35):
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, happy Bundy. Everybody.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Hey Mike, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 16 (31:43):
My biggest thought is I wasn't even going to call
it until I was sitting in a red light, and
I see it all the time, and I was just
sitting at it. If you are the first character red light,
my advice this is more of a p s A.
Just to count to three to five before you go
through that red light, because people run red lights all
the time everywhere. I'm on the South Shore. I drive
(32:05):
for a living. I'm an outawabile damage appraiser. Oh boy,
I see it all the time. People run no regard
for red lights anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:15):
You know what else bugs me about drivers is when
there's a like it goes yellow and red and they're
still moving across the intersection and now they're blocking both ways.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
That aggravates me.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
You know, when the light goes from the green to
yellow and they're still trying to get through the lights,
so now they're blocking both intersections.
Speaker 16 (32:35):
Yeah, these people that are talking about you know, oh
the roads, the roads, taught the roads. It's the human
being driving the car. All right, Okay, show some courtesy
and you know, just it's start for the red lights.
Because I'll tell you since COVID, I have more claims
because people running red lights.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Interesting.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Yeah's in the business, so he knows.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah, that's the second message I got about that this
is land uber driver. I agrouped at least. And then
one of the problems we have is the red light.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
So at the wed light, there's always someone that go
through the red light.
Speaker 8 (33:10):
Always everybody's in a hurrying boss.
Speaker 14 (33:13):
And then if you wait at the green light while
the people are running red lights, you have to behind you, honking.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Like exactly as soon as it turns green. Yeah, I'm
telling you, we got to go back to horse and buddy.
When that happens.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
When I'm out of red light, it turns green and
within point one second, if I don't move, they honked her.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I just stay.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
I just said the keeping yeah, okay, give me a second.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Gee yeah, And then they get all worked up and
then they start chasing you.
Speaker 18 (33:39):
So that assessment's definitely correct. One time I was trying
to merge. This lady was not letting me merge. So
last minute I did merge, and I gave her the
finger because I was annoyed. She pulled up next to me.
She's screaming at me through the window, calling me a.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
Fat by word.
Speaker 18 (33:52):
And then I was driving and throughout the whole time
she was driving next to me, thinks she's going to
call the police, and I'm like, why are you going
to call the police, like you're the one screaming at me.
Speaker 13 (34:03):
I cried.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
After that.
Speaker 18 (34:04):
It was traumatizing a lot.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Of road rage out there too. Road rage, oh so much. Yeah,
no go ahead, no, Winny, you go ahead.
Speaker 14 (34:13):
Well, you know how biggest road rage person is.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
You're sitting right next to him.
Speaker 14 (34:17):
I am, yeah's absolute psychle.
Speaker 9 (34:21):
He actually followed someone once, Yeah, like for several blocks. No,
I thought it was like for like several miles.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
What were you going to do?
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Huh?
Speaker 4 (34:32):
What myself?
Speaker 8 (34:35):
I was going to express myself or or.
Speaker 6 (34:37):
I might have been planning like in the event they parked,
I would then key the car.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Didn't you also.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Key someone's car as he did?
Speaker 8 (34:45):
Yeah, well he stole my space. He like legitimately flipped
me the burden.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
And I was waiting five minutes for this parking space
downtown and then he pulled around me and into.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
The parking space.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
How's your car now, buddy, your brand new BMW Okay,
never be the same. The car will never be the same.
If you're listening. Never, it's not the same. The minute
you try to sell it, they're gonna see the key,
the gouge.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
You're not helping this list. You know you're not helping
the list.
