so called drouch and they told you, you know, no
watering the lawn, no washing the cars and the driveway,
I would do both. The sprinklers would be going off

I've already bought my tickets, thank you very much. Interesting
thing about buying Powerball tickets now, my wife Michelle, who

(02:44):
was the most frugal person I know, suddenly now wants
us to get the Powerball tickets online.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
You can get them on the jackpocket app. That's what
I use.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's where we're going, the jackpocket app. Yeah, I do
not use.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
I do not carry cash, so it's very easy because
I do it right from my phone. Yeah, so I
haven't bought a physical ticket in a long time. I
always use Jackpocket.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, what's interesting is A she's frugal, and b it
cost you a little extra if you do it online.
I'm just saying, but who cares. It's a couple of bucks,
it's one point three billion.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
I like going into the gas station and pulling out
two bucks and like saying okay, and I'm writing down
my numbers.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Well, a lot of people when they go to the
convenience rore wherever they go, they don't realize that they
need cash, right, you need cash, And like Justin said,
a lot of people are not carrying cash these days.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I'm all venmo all day.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
I am too, But I do like to have a
little bit of cash around the house.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Yeah, yeah, I get annoyed by cash.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Really.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
I want to get rid of it. I want to
put it in an account where I can then use
it digitally.

Speaker 3 (03:44):

closet or something.

crazy not to play. I know it's a long shot.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
The odds are not in your favor, anybody's favor. But
here's a fun fact. The odds are the same when
the jackpot is one hundred right, one hundred million or whatever,
and the fact is somebody's gonna win. Yeah, why not you?
You know you can't win if you don't play. So
you have your ticket spill.

Jack Jacket out. Yeah, the Jackpocket. I haven't bought a
ticket in person, which is fine in a long time.
I have the app, so I do it right on
my phone.

My quick picks on jack Pocket and I'm all sets.
So all right, it's easier, much easier. Let's go there.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
It takes her a while sometime, funny since she's all
about the money.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Yeah, yeah, I know a little behind on that one.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
When the Dancing with the Stars the lineup is being
announced on ABC this morning, there are rumors circulating that
Hilaria Baldwin otherwise known as Hella Ria, could be in
the lineup, but there was a rumor popping yesterday that
Jordan Belichick's gen could be in the dance.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Can you imagine that two most annoying people on the
same show.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm telling you, if you're ABC, you're crazy not to
book the two of right. Oh my god, people will
just hate Watch exactly.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
We will imagine if he became besties too.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Oh yeah, we'll hate Watch and our listeners too.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
She's an insufferable bitch.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Well, okay, In meantime, one thing's for sure. One of
Taylor Swift's tour dancers, Yeah, Yawn is going to be
in the lineup. He talks about it. Good morning America.
My name is Jan Radnik.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
I traveled all around the world with Aerostore and now
I'm coming to the ballroom.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Stage for Dancing with the Stars. Mira ball never goes
out of style and we are ready to win it.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
So he'll be a professional, right, yes, yep?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
And by the way, uh, did you see there was
a little dust up between Belichick and Jordaan on the
sidelines before the game the other night the UNC.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Game so she went down to the sidelines like to
what coach him, or.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
To like, I don't think she's supposed to be there.

Speaker 8 (09:58):
Now, those are the whole thing. They were saying, that
she would not be apart. Yeah, the football facility would
not be on the field right.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
Yeah, he walked right away, way away from her. The
memes are really funny. That was said quote and I
have twenty dollars for the concession stand. Watch away.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
Keep in mind the NFL opener tomorrow night, the Eagles
and the Cowboys. Patriots openers this Sunday, one o'clock kickoff
Patriots and the Raiders out at your Leette Stadium, and
reports say Stefan Diggs will be dressed and will be
ready to play for the Pats on Sunday. His girlfriend,
Cardi B had a victory in court yesterday. She was

(10:37):
found not liable for attacking a security guard. Things got
a little testy with the reporter outside of the courthouse.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Hey grdy, you're beautiful, Thank you, party.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Inside to claiming that I'll said he is publicly bragging
about getting you pregnant for the fourth time. Can you
foresee any perturnity issue with that?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
FID? Thank you?

Speaker 5 (11:00):
I still love even though you just I don't care.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
You just don't know that.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Do you think women asking those type of questions to me?

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Why do you feel as a man you got to
ask me.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Those type of questions as I do have.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
So Mas, are your mama ta respect women?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
She whipped the shop, Yes she did.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
I just I love her.

Speaker 8 (11:21):
I just say it so ironic that she was just
won the case about.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Not and then attack somebody and then assault. I try
to say that.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
She does make a good point. I have to say
what she was saying to that report.

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Definitely she looked beautiful and all her outfits that she
was wearing, so I don't I mean, if she is pregnant,
we to question the baternity is so gross. Now it's
when she's been with steff On for like a year,
like that's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Your theory and I'm not saying anything, but your theory
is that she looked.

Speaker 8 (11:58):
I don't like commenting on woman's bodies because obviously we
all have different shapes. The only thing I would say,
she's been pregnant three other times, so we've seen her
pregnant three times, and how she normally carries it does
look like she's carrying in her hips in her stomach,
but I don't want to assume but nope, because she
is again very shapely, So I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
But then the father would be That's that's what.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's what that question was.

Speaker 8 (12:23):
That respectful part was that I don't think she was
even mad that he questioned her pregnancy.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
I think she was mad that he questioned the fraternity.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yeah, so is it?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (12:31):
Offset?

Speaker 9 (12:32):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Stepan?

Speaker 3 (12:33):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
At this point? I feel like if I'm going to sleep,
the ghost.

Speaker 10 (12:36):
Is gonna because bitch that wants me?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Okay, okay, so there's potentially a third ye.

Speaker 8 (13:20):

makeup and like already glammed and like that was Kelly.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Were brought to you by the ninety nine Restaurants. To listen,

newest a big deal meal, the Chrispy Fried Twin Cash
with the North Atlantic Cod Crispy Shrimp just fourteen ninety
nine every Monday through Wednesday. That's today. You gotta love
the nines. And there you go.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
Billy and Lisa, all right, welcome back everybody. It is
a Wednesday morning, Billy and Lisa show Billy, you get
your coffee.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, I got a fresh copper coffee. Brother morning, Joe.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Yeah, Well you gotta be wide awake because uh, pall
ball is tonight.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Heh, Yeah, I get your tickets.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, I'm all set, I am in place and I
am ready to go. But here's the deal. Cash. It
gets us all thinking about cash because it shocks me
how many people around me, in my immediate circle, including
this room, nobody carries cash.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
Hey. I don't want to say I hate it. I
just I just don't do it. I never ever have cash.
When I do have cash, I go and deposit it
because I like being able to use it digitally Venmo, PayPal,
et cetera.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
For a woman when we go get our nails done.
There are still places where people do not use Venmo,
so you have to carry cash in those places to
give a tip, or you have to go out, go
to the ATM and walk back. So my question is
out there, do some people just not leave a tip

(18:21):
if someone doesn't have Venmo at this point?

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, And I bet people not carrying cash affects a
lot of people who count on getting cash. Well that's
the thing, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, so they're running the risk that if they don't
sign up for one of these things, that they're not
going to get their tip.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
My wife, Michelle doesn't carry cash. Yeah, if she's going
way she needs to tip someone, she'll take it from mine.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
So when my kids get cash, like in their birthday
cars and stuff like that. So sometimes Riley will have
like a stack of cash, and if I need, like
if I if I'm going to the nail plate from.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
And I put a little, IOU twenty dollars. It's gotten
up to like two hundred in some cases. He's like, Mom,
you really need to pay me.

Speaker 8 (19:00):
Back, telling me you did all those pliables, you bought
them every night.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
I'm just not a cash guy. I will avoid places
that take only cash.

Speaker 8 (19:11):
I've recently transitioned into having cash because I'm trying to
like spend better, and I feel like if I have
the actual cash, I'll spend that and then it's like, Okay,
I didn't take from my credit card or like my
debit card.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
So it's more of almost like a budget like thing.

Speaker 8 (19:28):
I actually am literally doing a challenge right now where
I have like a start amount of money to like
next week to see if I can like do it
with just cash. And I actually go to multiple places
that are cash only. There's an ice cream place that
I love that's there that's cash only. There's a coffee place,
I like, that's cash only, and there's a subshop.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
I like this cash only.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
You know what happens sometimes too, the cash only places.
They don't tell you in advance. Have you ever been
caught in a place that doesn't take cash? But they
never said anything to do? What do you do? Well?

Speaker 4 (19:55):
When you when you get the bill, you're sitting there
and then you're like, I'll be right back. I have
to go to the ATM.

Speaker 6 (19:59):
Yeah, but then smart enough that they double dip and
have an ATM.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yes, I was going to say that they like, no,
oh my god.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Yeah, there's like I mean, I don't I don't know.

Speaker 8 (20:09):
If it's bad or good to say it. But Town
Spot in Stoaton is cash only, but they have an ATM.
Coben Pizza and Quincy is casually but they have an
ATM forrozen parties and Quincy is casually but they have
an ATM.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Well they don't want to pay the credit card fees.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
But I learned something from you justin because a lot
of times when I pull up to a red light,
you know when the people are asking for money, and
you know, like veterans or whatever, homeless people, and I
always try to give money. Typically I have cash, but
I said, it dawned on me one day. I said, God,
this much really affect these people who stand on the

(20:44):
street corners and really expect But most people don't carry cash.
And justin you told me that they take Venmo.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
A lot of them have Venmo cash appaying their cell phone. Yeah. Well,
I mean, I'm sure they have some form of income,
be it you know, disability or whatever it is. But
I was in Times Square semi recently with my wife,
and you know, in Times Square they hand you things,
they want you to take people. And I told my
wife don't take anything. Ever, she had never been to
Times Square. She took a CD from a guy. Oh

(21:12):
and so as soon as she grabbed it, I knew
what was coming. We were surrounded by these people demanding
five dollars for the CD, and so I said, I
don't have cash. We didn't have cash, and they said, oh,
we take Venmo cash app wow, and they like wouldn't
let us go. I ended up Venmo and the guy
five bucks.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Well, what do you.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Guys do when you go through the car wash, because
that's a perfect opportunity. That's only cash like the guys
that when they drive the car right, that's another extent
to give them a tip.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah, if I.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Don't have cash, I just put my head down and
I drive off.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Oh my god, I'm I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
What you want me to do with the towel guy?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
You know in the Boston a lot, you know, shooting
the TV show. So I have to pull up to valet.
It's a lot just to park the car to get
the shoot another cash. So I if I know I'm
going some place like that and I don't have cash,
I'll stop in an ATM on my way because I
don't want to look like a cheap skate.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Yeah. I have done that. I have stopped and gotten cash.
I just prefer not to as.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
A twenty eight year old woman. Whenever I have cash,
which is rare, girl, math comes into play. Yep, all
of a sudden, that's free money.

Speaker 14 (22:19):
Yeah, that's play money.

Speaker 7 (22:21):
Yea.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
I have ten dollars in my wallet right now. I
have no idea how I got it.

Speaker 14 (22:25):
What am I gonna do?

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Maybe I'll buy a snack, I know, Maybe I'll get
a wresting it. Maybe I'll go buy whatever I want
for ten dollars, Like that's free. That's free money. I'll
go get an extra coffee today, like woo.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
You're right, it's like you found it on the ground
in the parking lot.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeap. She is so right because typically, yes, I have cash,
but when I have a lot of cash in my pocket,
I tend to spend it unnecessarily. She's right. It feels
like free money.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Oh yeah, here you go, because it's not an account. Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah, that's literally, like literally how I feel when I
have cash.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
I love it. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (22:57):
To Lisa's point, I only keep cash in my car
hidden somewhere for when I do get my nails done,
I can tip. They do take venmo for a tip,
but they always let you know they prefer cash. So
I keep cash in my car only for that reason.
And if I remember, I'll stop at the ATM on

(23:18):
my way because they do discount your full service if
you pay in cash. But usually I only have a
knock on hand for the tips.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
That's another good example. Like today, for instance, I'm going
to get a haircut, and I know that I can
put the haircut on a credit card, but the tip
has to be cash.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Wow, So you got to have cash, so I have
to have cash. You have to have cash for that. Yeah,
oh man, So.

Speaker 15 (23:40):
I literally never have cash on me.

Speaker 16 (23:43):
I have Apple Pay on my phone.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
I really even.

Speaker 16 (23:47):
Bring around my wallet that has my debit card.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
In my ID.

Speaker 17 (23:51):
But I always look like an ahole because I never
have cash on me to give my nail lady a tip,
or I'm in a they ask for cash donations, and
these places don't.

Speaker 15 (24:03):
They don't have venmo so Mosica, I don't.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Have funny Sorry.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
So the one point three billion dollar powerball jackpot tonight
has everybody a buzz and got us to talking, like, so,
who carries cash these days? I know I do, but
most people I know, most people around me don't ever
carry cash. So let's get some calls. First. Courtney's calling
in from Stoton. Good morning, Courtney, what's your story?

Speaker 15 (24:36):
Good morning?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
How are you good? Go ahead?

Speaker 15 (24:39):
So, I am a bartender, but I exclusively work in
cash only establishments, so I'm like the minority here. I
never have a card, Army, I always have cash.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh so you work at a bar and even the
bar is cash only. Yes, I don't think I've ever
been to a bar that's cash only.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
So many yeah like that. My question for you, Courtney
is what do you do.

Speaker 15 (25:03):
Now that I tell you where I work, but I'm not.
I don't need people just come to bog me there.
But there is some out there.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
But I've been doing it.

Speaker 15 (25:10):
Look like I've been in a same place for it
almost ten years. And it's cash holding, and it's I
mean I literally when I tell you, I never ever
have my If I have my card a card, it's
usually my husband's. I don't even I just I really
get gas. And when I get gas, I tip the
guy chewed dollars for pump me my gas because I
don't even put my own gas. So I think anybody
that does a service for you, whether it's like nails,

(25:31):
gas anything, that's somebody that works in this industry. I
always have cash on need to tip.

Speaker 6 (25:36):
But there's also places now that don't take cash at all.

Speaker 8 (25:39):
Do you ever run into that issue where you don't
have a card and it's and it's card only.

Speaker 16 (25:45):
Oh, I have my husband's car.

Speaker 9 (25:46):
OHR got a covered by the way, the full service
gas station still exists. I haven't been in one, and
so yesterday and this one the guy comes out in again.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
This one in Milton that I go to this too,
and Randolph.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Okay, you know in New Jersey it's against the law
to pump your own gas.

Speaker 8 (26:06):
And Weymouth, Weymouth, Massachusetts, you can.

Speaker 5 (26:10):
Every gas station they have a gas station attendant.

Speaker 7 (26:12):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
Wow. And do they still check the oil?

Speaker 13 (26:15):
No?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I think yeah, that's yeah, it's cars now, you can't
even check the oil.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
It can't.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Yeah, let's go to Kate and Quincy. Kate, go ahead,
give us your story.

Speaker 16 (26:27):
Hi, my sister just called me and asked me to
call and ask you guys your opinion on this. So
she hers babysitter only accepts cash, and she wants to
give her babysit or a raise this stot this year.
But the raise would be twenty seven dollars an hour,
and she doesn't want to figure out the math. So
she wants to know if you can say, I'll give
you a raise if you'll start accepting venmo. What do

(26:47):
you guys think about that?

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Oh, so you want to make a condition under which
she works for you. She must not be good at math.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
Yeah, yeah, twenty seven times three four that's pay the
problem checking pt for that to calculate.

Speaker 16 (27:01):
I mean, but she comes home with from a drinking night.
I don't think you're gonna want to like, you know
what I mean? And I think it easier.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, but that could work in your favor. If she
comes home buzzed and she can't figure out the money,
maybe you get some extra. She wouldn't even know it.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
Tell her I'll do it for like twenty four calfs
or Benmo, she doesn't do the math.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Yeah, but Benmo, you're gonna have to. You're gonna have
to report it now.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
You don't for babysitting. You don't have to because it's
if you're like a family friend.

Speaker 6 (27:29):
It's just considered.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I think it's the amount.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
If you want to take financial legal advice from winning,
I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
I think it's I mean, I think you have to
watch it depending on how much you're making throughout the year.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Or she could just start practicing math.

Speaker 18 (27:43):
Dwayne is pimping for three girls. If the price is
sixty five dollars for each trick, how many tricks will
each girl have to turn so Dwayne can pay for
his eight hundred dollars per day.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
Crack Habit get back to us on the answer please.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
You know, the million LEAs in Morning show is constantly
a learning experience. Okay, a little math lesson right there?

Speaker 18 (28:05):
Good morning.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
I am a small, big of accountant. I do a
lot of local shopping, and I recommend to try to
always pay cash if you're at a small local business.
These mom and pop shops especially are struggling just like
all of us in this economy, and credit card fees
are insane. So if you have access to cash, or
you can pay cash, please do them a favor and

(28:28):
pay cash. Have a great day, all right?

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Makes sense.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
It's gotten to a point where if I'm at a
place and I'm paying cash, I feel weird. I feel
like they're looking at me like, why is he paying cash?
I got a convenience store or something like?

Speaker 5 (28:41):
It's outdated?

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah a bit.

Speaker 19 (28:42):
I know.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
I get that failing too. I mean, I don't use
cash that much, but when I do, I get that failing.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yeah, Like I feel old, God, I'm paying cash. I
don't think they're expecting this. Are they going to have change?

Speaker 5 (28:52):
Don't you kind of get the failing that eventually? I
don't know how far away cash is going to go.
Definitely that's going to go away for sure, going to
be digital.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
Like what do you do with coins? These the coins thing?

Speaker 20 (29:03):
You know?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Yeah, that's an annoyance. Just keep it all the change, yeah,
I mean keep a piggy bank at home. We have
a piggy bank. We throw a change in.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
You know, you don't we have a you know, it's
funny you bring that up. My son Alex used to
take it every like two months or so. Cost Yeah,
and we have a giant spring water bottle field. But
who's carrying that and where are you carrying it to? Sure?

Speaker 4 (29:32):
At one point the kids were like rolling quarters, remember,
like you get the rolling the kids.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah, it actually would give them something to do on
a winter day.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
We had these little things that I call one for
Christmas one. Yeah, that rolls them for you.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
I remember I used to have.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 19 (29:50):
The problem with nobody ever having cash is as a
teacher finding that the students do not know how to
count coins. Yeah, they struggle to know what a quarter
is worth.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Oh yeah, that is probably good point.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, but it's true.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
But I'm telling you, yeah, Justin's right. Before too long,
coins are going to be gone. Act will be gone. Yep,
I live over in.

Speaker 6 (30:14):
The West End.

Speaker 16 (30:14):
And the only reason I ever have cash is so
that I can go over to modern racery that can
only their cash on my business. Otherwise I have no reason.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah modern only cash.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
I think it's a testament to your business because if
people go out of their way to make sure they
have cash, you must have a very good demand.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
Yes, a lot of places in the North End take
only cash. Yeah, there's an ice cream place there that's
only cash. Gelato gelato.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, I love some honey. We're going for gelato. Get
some cash.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
That's so good.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Good morning, guys.

Speaker 20 (30:45):
I'm on the topic of cash. I am thirty two
years old and I always carry a little bit of
cash for things like tips. I used to be a
server and I just know cash is better for tips,
so I always try to keep some. But I am
the only one of my friends that ever has cash.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
None of my friends carry cash. Bill's the only guy
I know person I know.

Speaker 7 (31:08):
Yeah, me too.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Everybody makes fun of me for carrying cash, even my
own wife. I don't have that cash. We love it, Yeah,
I love I do love it.

Speaker 6 (31:19):
I never had an issue with you carry you.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Never to stop during cash never.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
I never want fun fact. Whenever Billy does give me money,
maybe it's my birthday or for Christmas, he gives me
a little bit of walking around money. I leave the
radio station, I go right to the bank, and I
related every single time.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I usually do half and half.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
Well, the Christmas phonus, I go right to the bank
because I don't want to lose that.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Yeah, put it right end.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
That's usually in a band.

Speaker 5 (31:46):
Yeah, bands one thing Billy loves. On those special occasions,
he pull out the money and he'll take the bands off.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Oh yeah, then you know I want to You don't
know when it's gonna study.

Speaker 6 (32:01):
Oh these they're fresh at the atm he.

Speaker 5 (32:06):

Speaker 14 (32:09):
Warning everyone, I carry cash in case I come across
some keno.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
Anybody just want to pick some random numbers at a
random convenience store.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
You never know, I've never played that.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
I've never played that.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
You want to know a fun fact. You know who's
a really good kino player? My father really has won
a good amount of money in his lifetime playing.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
He one of the people you see in this convenience
store sitting down looking at the screens of the little counter.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
And I know he's got a whole strategy behind it.
He'll he'll go, Okay, so his strategy basically is you
don't just walk in and pick numbers. You need to
spend some time, like hours. He'll go and he'll watch
the screen for two or three hours and look for patterns. Wow,
and he wins. He's won a lot of money. He's like,
what the rain man a little bit, He's the Keno
rain Man. Wow, yeah, Keino buddy. Whenever I pay with cash,
