You know, Lisa was just talking about her outfits in

will be costume changes.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm guessing we never know.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I've never brought a costume change.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I haven't either. We always talk about it, then we
never do because we're so busy.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah you should.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, there were a couple of kiss concert Slash and
jingle Balls where I wore a woman's gown and I
don't think we have to go in a much detail
about that.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You can track down happy track down the pics online.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Total humiliation to my sons who were very young and
sitting in the audience when her dad came out in
a wedding gown and.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I was the one who dressed you, which is even weirder.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
You also hang the picture up in your house.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yes, no, that was a I had it blown up
for some reason and framed and you know, We had
like a family room downstairs with kind of a den office,
and I had it hanging on the wall and it
was me dressed as Britney Spears. Yeah, and this is
where they would bring their friends to hang out. And
obviously they'd walk in and pause if you're just say
(03:25):
who's that?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
If you're just joining the show and you don't know
what we're talking about. Used to do skits at Kiss
concert and Billy dressed up in a wedding gown to
get married when gay marriage became legal, and it was
right around Kiss concert. I have to say that our
friend Bill here is a bridezilla, like in a lab
salute bridezilla.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
All I said to you one day is if I'm
going to be a bride and a woman and a gown,
I want to look beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I dried my vest.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Boy, I made a homely woman. I just justin. You
can't imagine how homely I am.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I've seen the pictures. But and also you didn't do
it just once. You did it multiple times, multiple time.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, because I was Britney Spears.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
One year, you're Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Olivia Newton John another year. Oh, and don't forget I
was Carmen Miranda with a fruit basket on my head
another year. And then of course the wedding gown.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, well that was yeah, the pinnacle. There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
No wonder my children look at me strangely. Well, yeah,
come on, it's crazy. It's a Friday before jingle Ball.
It's gonna be a crazy show this morning. In fact,
at nine ten this morning, we're gonna have a big
preview to jingle Ball. We'll put you in the mood.
We left clips soundbites from all the artists showing up
(04:43):
at jingle Ball this Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, and we're having a big staff brunch tomorrow. I
had a jingle Ball, absolutely fun. I've never gone. This
is my first year.
Speaker 1 (04:51):

North End. That's where I headed tonight. By the way,

little drive through. You're going.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Do you have hot toddies?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
We have everything.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Some sort of a festive cocktail.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
No, there's not. Well, no, this beer downstairs, but no
one drinks in the house.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, so there's that. I bought my ticket. You have
to pay in advance and book your appointment to drive
your car through the lights in Mathua.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
They also have their own radio station, so when you
pull in, you two does the light drive through and
has a radio station you tune to, you turn to,
and then you play that station while you drive.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Do they want to host oh god?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
From the Planning Fitness it's one of eight studios. We're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So Lisa Dunavan is sitting on this list the most
asked questions of Alexa in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
All right, so do you want to know what the
number one question was from twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, let's start there.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Okay, do you want to guess or do you want
me to tell you?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I think I know, okay, so you can tell me.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Okay. The number one question posed to Alexa this year
was what does AI mean?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It makes sense?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's that's all anyone's talking about.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Well, everyone's talking about it, you know a lot of
people don't know understand what it is or really understand
the impact that it has and is going to have
on our world. I mean, Time magazine just named the
AI people behind AI on the you know on the
forefront as the person of the Year the year.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yah Taylor Swift was the most asked about celebrity, especially
in countries like Australia. The other celebrities that were the
most asked about were Christian Ronaldo of course not surprised,
Taylor Swift, and Elon Musk. Now jingle Ball has some
connection to this list. For example, Musk came in there
(07:10):
when it came to questions about spouses of celebrities with
nosy users most commonly asking who Ed Sheeran is married to.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh, that's his child sweetheart, right, Jarrett.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, some people are really interested about what his whole
situation is.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh yeah, well he's a curious fellow yep.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Swift was the most played artist via Alexa, followed by
Bruno Mars and then number three was Kate Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You know what we can ask at You're on backstage
at jingle Ball Sunday night. Hey do you see that
You're in the AI list of most asked questions?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Actually, yeah, that's me right, I should write that down.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And then I love this this little section. Australians were
most interested in knowing how tall Subruden Carpenter is.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh, she's so short?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah? What is she for? Ten?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yes, we're done. You're like a little chicken nugget.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And then who Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhart is married to?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And then that's that's weird to me. I thought Millie
Bobby Brown's partner would have been asked about.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I totally agree. They also are very interested in who
mister Beast is, Yeah, and how much money he makes?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Who's I asked, who's mister be You know? I had
an Alexa.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I don't know where it is. He's a YouTuber, Yeah,
the most popular YouTuber worth about a billion dollars A.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, so that's it. So that's pretty much the list.
I'm not surprised. Other questions that they ask are what's
the diameter of the earth? And how long do I
poach an egg for?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh? Yeah, that's a tough one. Poaching eggs is not easy.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Have you ever poached an egg? Anybody in the room?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You never poached?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
We used to poach them at at friendlies when I
was a grill cook. But we use the microwave to
poach them. Yeah, that's right. I remember saying system for
doing that. But yeah, and it didn't really come out
that well. Not a lot of people ordered ordered it
that way from there. But a good poached eggs eggs, Benedict,
(09:10):
you like, I do, no good, No, Bill, I can't
get near them. Why is it the sauce?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's too much soupy sauces and everything's dripping in. It's great.
Why do you have to drench the egg and all
this stuff? Just have an egg? That's so difficult.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So we have an Alexa fridge at home so we
can ask the the Alexa questions, which is good, but
it's not good when you know, because the kids can
ask in anything. Oh so any questions that we have
to monitor it kind of.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So what's the most asked question on your fridge.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Probably like math questions. Hi, homework, not homework because he
knows he's not allowed to do that, but just general
math questions. If he has I'll like walk in and
he just wants to know what this and this plus
is and.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What do you think he's asking if you're not in
the room.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, we do our best to monitor.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Can you put restrictions on it?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I'm not sure. We haven't caught him asking anything bad. Yeah,
but it is. It is nice. That's right there in
the kitchen. So that's pretty cool. I didn't even know
that existed Alexa in a refrigerator either.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So your refrigerator basically talks to you.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, it's a screen. It has TV. We can watch
TV on it, we can stream music, we can You.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Have that cool thing where the cat. I saw that
yesterday because we were facetiming his house and he has
a video and the refrigerator on the screen of his
cat close up making these fangush smiles.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It's like so creepy. Well, it was the elf elves,
elves on the shelves. We have two elves. The our
cat Jacks hung the elves from the light in the
kitchen and then the elves are jacks made a video
on the TV on the fridge.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh I thought Abel hung the elves.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, no, the cat did string them up. It's a
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's quite a house.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, I'm telling you, let's always have a view into
the window of Justin's house would be one of the
most amazing things on earth.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah. So, you know, we had Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelcey last week. They don't argue, haven't been in one argument.
Last time we got into a little argument because we're
hosting Christmas at my house, a ton of people coming,
family and all that, and my wife wrote an itinerary
like times they have to arrive, this is when the
Yankee Swap is the festivities dinner, this you know, second
(11:28):
block schedule. Yeah, and she showed it to me and
I was like, okay, I'm okay. Does everybody get the schedule,
even the guests? Everybody, Yeah, that's the schedule. And then
she got all worked up that I wasn't like supportive
of her schedule. You know, much work I put into this,
I might just tell them to be here at four o'clock.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So what are the parameters of the Yankee swap.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
To get the twenty five dollars limits and you don't
have to participate, and kids will automatically get gifts.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Someone's gonna sit in the corner and refuse to participate for.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Some reason, might not want to participate, which is fine,
it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I have my epic Yankee swap next week. You know,
the one that's all.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Over the top destroyer and what was it called the
demon iSER, the woman.

a blast man.

Yeah, Pats Bills Sunday one o'clock and we're guaranteed there
will be a TV set up backstage at jingle Ball
so we can watch the rest of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Has to be right.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I think it's the biggest game of the year for
the Patriots, as do I one o'clock kickoff Jillett's Stadium.
Now we want to talk about Timothy's Schallo May. There
is a rumor release and I'm sure you've seen it
that Challo May is secretly this UK rapper SD kid, Yes,
who's never shown his face.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Only shown his eyes, and he does strike a resemblance
to Timothy Schallo May. I will say that, but he's
never shown his face, he hasn't revealed his identity, so
it's kind of that been this buzz online and in
the rap world, like is that Timothy Schallomey?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's hard to decide based on just the eyes with
a mask covering the rest of his face, but they
think they know. But it turns out Challow May has
a long history with rap, going back to high school
when he performed for his statistics classes. Also in high school,
(19:07):
he did a live performance rap in front of a
live audience.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Tim hold up your pants when he does that leg dancing.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
It'sus hilarious on YouTube. Remember he also wrapped with Pete
Davidson on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
He was he was trying so hard not to laugh.
I mean, Keenan Thompson comes up and pushes him back down,
try not to show how much he was laughing at
Pete Davidson and everything that was going on.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Anyway, yesterday, for the first time, he was asked, are
you s D kid?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I got no comment on that? Oh come on, I
got two words on that.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
To two words.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
What's wrong with him? We've asten someone reading to readbook.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
All will be revealed in due time. So it's either him,
I don't think it's him, or he's just kind of
keeping the rule, keeping it alive. Yeah, keeping it going.
He's a huge hip hop fan, so I'm sure it's
not him that he definitely knows s the kid. They
probably are doing it together.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
When he was asked, he kind of pulled the Jordan Hudson,
we're not talking.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
About this, Yeah, keeping it going.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
We'll see Jason Kelsey's wife Kylie commenting on that conversation
between jac and Travis on the podcast about never ever
having an argument.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No notice how my.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Husband was oddly quiet during this segment. He did ask
a couple clarifying questions, but for.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
The most part knew that he.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Could not say that. After almost eight years married.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
We absolutely argue.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, that's a real answer.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, I respect that, and that's why I'd like her.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Well, they also have many children together, and that's where
a lot of the arguments come in.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Kids in money. Yes, yep, those are the biggest sources
of arguing Kylie, kids and money. I love Kylie.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So in other words, we'll revisit Travison Taylor.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
If they have kids in a few years.
Speaker 4 (21:16):

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, it's the holidays, it's the Friday before the jingle Ball.
It's a crazy weekend, but it's also a very festive
weekend and now least we're talking about various and get together.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
It's for the holiday, okay. And one that's very common
this time of year our Yankee swaps. Sometimes they're called
the white Elephant. They're essentially the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, I've never heard white elephant before. I'd go down
to Nantucket and go to the white Elephant and nobody
would be there.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I think in New England it's called the Yankee swap, okay,
but elsewhere it's called the white elephants.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
All right, So usually it's like twenty five dollars or less. Limits, right,
there's always a limit. I go to an epic one.
I've talked about it every year. It's next Thursday night.
It's at least fifty to like could Sometimes it's like
one hundred people, one hundred women, okay, and the limit's
fifty okay. Or they ask you to just do something
(24:51):
really crazy so you can spend more than the limit.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh well, this is the famous one where you brought
the fame miss.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Item I did from Goop. I ordered it several years ago.
It was the Womanizer and that was like the hot
item that just get that was stolen over and over
and over again.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah, I remember, and I remember that year because oh
I purchased I purchased it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You heard Lisa's story and went out and got the
Womanizer I did.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Yeah. Wow, it's a big hit in my house going
up there.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
So but we have a list of things. But I
do have to say that one year Billy went to
a Yankee swap and they themed it shark tank item.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, okay, things seen on shock tank, right.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Which I thought was a good idea to give people
someone of a focus.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
That's where I got the squatty partty right, yeah, which
you never used you should use.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I gave it to you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Did you give it to me?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I gave you my squatty partty, And then the next
year you got me the torch Porsche or.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Whatever it'sh Tush is great. Hook that up too. I
can send someone to your house. My friend Allen will
come and hook it up at.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Your It needs a whole plumber to visit.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You know I think that sometimes Yankee swap gifts should
be funny, right, So like the Skim's murkin.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, kind of good to throw that in legendary moment
last year when we found out what American was right
at a Yankee swap.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But don't they lead to arguments sometimes because somebody's really
mad the last pick came from them. Like they still
get their.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Thing, Yeah, they they get their items stolen, but it's
usually the gift cards, dunks, Starbucks that people want. You
have to go into the Yankee swap or White Elephant
just planning to get something silly or get your things stolen.
That's the fun, right, people take it too far.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
My favorite Yankee swap was with my friends Brian and
Mitzi and Frank and Penny and and we're about ten
of us. But Frank owns a giant cannabis company. So
his secret Santa was a big box of pre roll
joints and.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Edibles that was in my Yankee swap last year and
now I think it went. That was a big hit
that got passed around.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, everybody is crawling around on all fours. It was
just embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Oh that's a mess, geez. But if you looking for
some ideas of things that popular, I do have a
list here. How about a mini waffle maker?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You know that's actually a really good one. Yes, yeah,
because you can use it to make pizza, hash browns,
grilled cheese.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, that's all of those, and that's twenty five dollars
a less.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Yeah, Bill, you would like this a throw blanket. You
love throw pillows. It's a lot of those. Yeah, I know,
but it's something you would like.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I would take another one.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Sure my wife wants. If you've seen these on Instagram
or Facebook ads, the comfy cozy blanket things you wear.
It's like a blanket that you wear.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh yeah, big blanket. Yeah. I almost got that from
Michelle and I showed it to hers that I have
no interest. Okay, oh really, yeah, but it seems like
a great idea.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
You put it on and it's like wearing a pillow case.
She's always cold. Yeah, okay. This next one on the
list is actually this was on my list before I
even saw this list. This is a great gift idea
for someone. An electric frother.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yes, I just it's like, you can do it for coffee.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I have one at home. It is a game change.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yes, that is a great thing for a Yankee swap.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
And it's cheap too. So if you make coffee and
you mix cream or milking it, yeah, you just stick
it in there. It mixes perfectly, okay if you use
if you use like pre workout like I do, if
you put it in and mix it with a spoon
or shake it up, it doesn't fully mix. Frother will
mix it.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Can you use it for cocktails?
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Anything you want? Anything you want to mix, anything you
want to mix. Also on this there's some weird things
on this list. How about how about a tile tracker? Yeah,
you attach it to your wallet, camera, bill it. This
would be good for you. Anything you don't want to use,
you can attach it to it and you use the
Life three sixty app to track it, so when you
lose things. I lose things all the time, so that'd
(28:46):
be good for you. Okay, what else is on here?
Give me one more? Oh? How about this one? A
bag of fair trade coffee?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Okay, that's truly not moving.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's not moving. I need it doesn't scream from.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Like Apple air tags. That's good to throw it. I
got those at a Yankee.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So how much of those?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I don't think they're that expensive.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
No, they're not that expensive.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
But if you have a twenty five dollars limit, like
my house is a twenty five dollars limit, you can't
go over.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh god forbid, I got the tags from doctor Sean.
Oh yeah, plastic service.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
That's a good gift. Have you used them? No, unbelieving
someday someday you will.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, they're still there.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
It's the season.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Hey, it's your girl, Sarah from Maine.
Speaker 12 (29:30):
So every year at our Christmas.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Party we do an X rated Yankee swap where someone
has to bring basically some kind of vice, like something
for sexy time, something alcohol related.
Speaker 13 (29:41):
Or maybe some other kind of recreational drug. And we
have found that not only do people love it, but
it makes for them a much more fun Christmas.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Party after the Yankee swap. So just an idea, Bye.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
What's more fun than being someone other than yourself?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I always get fun things. I mean I always try
to get something that's either practical or that I use,
or something silly.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
You I think something really silly is fun and then
it can pop up in Yankee swaps from you know
from now on, Well, the tush will bring it back.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Was funny but also very practical. It's very good. Yeah,
the tushy is very good. You attach it to your
toilet and it just makes for a better experience. I
thought you would love it. It's still in the trunk
of my car. I can have someone come over free
of charge.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And you keep saying that this plumber does not exist.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Okay, my friend Allen is a plumber. Yeah, but he's
not coming anywhere. Yes, him, go to your house ready
for this. He brings it up every time I see him. Hey,
I'd really like to do that for Billy, I'd really
like to come.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I have to say I bought the tushy too, and
it's still in my trunk.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Oh, it's a plumber for everybody. Oh my god, we
both have him in the trunk. Everybody can get one.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Take guys, you welcome ax to. We're talking about Yankee swaps.
Why up into all of these holiday games that people play,
gift giving, gift swapping ideas. Yeah, and everybody's got an idea,
everybody's got a complaint to, everybody's got a great story.
And that's why we're doing it. Heading into jingle Ball weekend.
You want to start with the chalk pack justin.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
I want to go to Terry online one. I think
she wants to explain something to us.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh, boy, Terry, are we in trouble for something?
Speaker 12 (31:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Absolutely, Okay, go ahead, Terry. What have you got?
Speaker 10 (31:27):
I always thought a white elephant was I've been to one.
You wrap up something like random in your house, any
of it and like a white elephant table at a
bazaar or something is.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Interesting. Take on it.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You're giving away your furniture stuff in your house.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
I've never heard that before, just like like a statue
or a trophy or something that's in your house. It's
more of a joke thing. It's not really a serious swap.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Actually, that's a good thought. Justin didn't you do that
for me one year? You gave me a hideous cat?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's still in my office.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Yeah. Yeah, it was a silly gift. It's a statue
of a cat what you kept, which I thank you
for that, you white elephant did me. Yeah. So they're
pretty much the same from what I'm reading. But the
white elephant it's more funny silly gifts.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Hey, but the Yankee swap is too, I mean adds
funny silly stuff in there.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Yeah, the Yankee swap is more of a common regional
name for white elephants. Maybe here in New England. Huh's
pretty much the same thing. But thank you for the call, Terry,
thanks for carrying that up.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
So this year, our family, instead of getting a gift
because most people regift stuff, we are getting gift guards,
either to a restaurant or for an experience like bowling
or top golf or ect growing something like that. Sure
they can regift, but it's not as lethal as getting
(32:56):
an actual gift.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, that sounds expensible.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Gift cards. Yeah, so you said bowling or what hop golf,
acts throwing, you know, experiences for gift cards.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
No, gift cards are really popular. You can't go wrong everybody.
Everybody will use them.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Those and scratch tickets, Yeah, those are another one that
was your big big I'm going.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
To a Yankee swap this weekend and the price limit
was fifty dollars. I was going to get a fifty
dollars scratch ticket. Is that lame or do you think
it would cause problems if something actually did win?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
So I always about this, like what happens, Yes, you
give the scratch ticket and there's a big winner. I
was going to ask this, do you ask for a cut?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, Like, let's say that give the scratch ticket person
wins like a million dollars. Are you obligated to give
everybody at the party some money? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I've been to plenty of Yankee swaps where scratch tickets
are given out and then after it's all done, everyone's scratching.
And I always think to myself, what if someone hits
a mill or one hundred thousand, They'll never tell you. Yeah,
they just put it, they tell you.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
So I am going to a met swap tomorrow. She
doesn't like the Yankee, so she calls it a met swap.
And I have a mini omelet maker, and then I'm
getting a pepper onion and mushrooms and some eggs and
putting it in a cold bag. And that's what I'm
giving for a gift.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
What do you all think maybe she can grill it
up right there at the party once it's she's giving it.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
That's a gift. She's giving an omelet maker and then
all the things making.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
What did they call it?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I couldn't a met swap?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
What is that person hosting it as a Mets fan,
not a Yankee? She doesn't want to use the word yankee.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, okay, give me a break.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
It's it's silly.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
So when I was younger, we used to do like
all the little cousins would do, like a Secret Santa
kind of deal, and then the adults they would do
the Yankee swap. Or they might have started doing like
a Secret Sanna, but then they started doing a Yankee swap.
And one year my dad ended up with two dollars
bills on like two two dollars bills, and he thought
they were fake, so he threw him in the fire
(35:06):
right behind him.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Those are worth money now, yes, if they are printed
before I think it's nineteen seventy something, it could be
worth money. So check I have some two dollar bills
at home. Yeah, I'm going to check them out.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
We have money, three dollar bill.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Okay, let's go to Carl online one in Weymouth. Good morning, Carly.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Hi, guys, Hi Carl.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Sorry, Bill was trying to get it to get it together.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Carly. You need to understand I get
a real kick out of myself. That's okay, Okay, here
you go. What have we got, Carl?
Speaker 6 (35:44):
All right?
Speaker 10 (35:44):
So last night we had our office holiday party.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And we did it was we brought our.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Own gifts like a Yankee swap like you would do typically.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
We wrapped them up.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
And everybody put a hint on their gifts, and then
we auctioned off the gifts with fake money and.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Everybody had to bid against each other for what they
thought was in the present. So it got it got
pretty competitive and they were good gifts.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
There was like some books, there's some scratch tickets, there.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Were games, there were uh sweatshirts.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
So it was fun. We had a great time.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Sounds a little gamey for me.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Was there a price limit? Yeah, we gave everybody two
hundred dollars again sake money, but yeah, and it was fun.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
It was like everybody was trying to.
Speaker 13 (36:43):
Outbid each other for a gift that they had no
idea what was really.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Behind it, oku idea.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It was different, it was different. Yeah, I would do
that different office.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah, exactly good.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
It's one of those things you think going in is lame,
but then you end up having a b Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Drinks are flowing, yeating, good food, having fun. That's what
it's all about.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
It.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
One year my work did are gift swap so that
means bringing the worst gift you've ever received.
Speaker 13 (37:13):
And swap it.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
So I brought in a picture that my father had
given me brains of his.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
Will, and that was the worst gift I had ever received.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
What's that remind you of? Bill?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
What the regift?
Speaker 4 (37:29):
It's not jogging any memories for you of the time
I got you when I had no money. I had
was working at Friendlies, slipping burgers and working here, and
I had no money for a gift. So my wife
suggested that she would blow up a picture of Billy
and I beautiful picture and put it in a beautiful
frame and give that as a gift. So I gave
it to Bill and Lisa, and then a couple of
(37:51):
days after he said, oh, thank you, it was in
the trash office.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Lie, there's no way I have that. You're somewhere in my.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Out because I took it out of the trash and
put it back in your desk.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
No, no, no, no, no, I know exactly where that
picture is in the house, and I'm going to bring
it in Monday morning, and you know what I'm going
to do. I'm going to regift it to you.
Speaker 13 (38:16):
Good morning, Billy and Lisa Crewe.
Speaker 12 (38:18):
I just wanted to share some big swap ideas that
I've used in the past, and they were very successful.
It's more of a twenty five to fifty dollars limit though,
either packing compression cubes or a weighted vest.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Have a good day, all right, okay, the weighted vest.
So my worst gift ever was that fifty pound weighted blanket.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Oh god, I remember verge of all your cluster phoebus
and you got the idea from me?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
I know.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Yeah? Could you wear a weighted vest?
Speaker 13 (38:48):
Though?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Least when you work out?
Speaker 1 (38:49):
It's a good idea, I think.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
So.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Yeah, they're nice.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, they say jog with it.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, even just walking you can ruck. You can ruck
with it.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, I'll walk with it.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Yeah that's rocking. Okay, you could do that would be good.
But I remember that with the blanket. It's like, what
am I going to do with this?
Speaker 14 (39:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Suffocating me?
Speaker 4 (39:04):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
The biggest regift on earth is champagne. Oh we must
have twenty bottles of champagne lying around in a closet
because it's never good champagne. And like everybody just know,
if somebody's coming to your house with the bottle of champagne,
they got it from someone else. So true, Yeah, it's
(39:27):
so number one. Yeah, don't even bother because they're just
going to take it and put it in a closet.
No one's drinking it.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
But if it's worth money, it's never worth money. It's
not worth anything.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
They got it from someone else, who got it from
someone else.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
That bottle of both clicko or whatever you're ners. Okay, no,
I know, but that has been passed around like ten times.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Yes, yeah, because when do people drink champagne? I don't never,
so I don't.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
New Year's Eve, yeah, I guess. But even think about it.
Next time you're at a party and somebody's having a
toast and they opened a bottle of champagne, pay attention
to how few people drink it?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Right?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Okay, yeah, I've never had champagne, never never tasted it.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, it's not my favorite.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Yeah, not so much. My uncle got a corilling iron.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Unfortunately he's bald.
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billie and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on Kiss
one Away.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Well, I think that Lisa Dunn have been said at
best couple of minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Frigid Friday, freezing Friday, frigid Friday. Yeah, it's biting cold
out there with a windshill.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Isn't it frigid every day?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Well, it seems to be. You know, it's supposed to
be in the forties right now in and around Boston,
so yeah, we're way below twenty three.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Yeah, this is the coldest and windiest start to a
winter I can remember, which makes me very scared of
the coming winter.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
And the snow on the ground. You know, it's it's
snowed whatever so many days ago and it's been so
cold it's still on the ground. Yeah I am.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And most years recently we get away without snow through December. Yes,
I mean there was that jingle Ball with a big snow.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Storm, remember that we couldn't make it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We're still doing jingle Ball at Songis Arena in Lowell
and we all got stranded.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
On it was a parking lot.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We're playing football out on the highway happened at the

You know, Lisa was just talking about her outfits in
which she's gonna wear on stage, off stage, backstage. There
will be costume changes.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I'm guessing we never know.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I've never brought a costume change.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I haven't either. We always talk about it, then we
never do because we're so busy.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah you should.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, there were a couple of kiss concert Slash and
jingle Balls where I wore a woman's gown and I
don't think we have to go in a much detail
about that.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You can track down happy track down the pics online.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Total humiliation to my sons who were very young and
sitting in the audience when her dad came out in
a wedding gown and.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I was the one who dressed you, which is even weirder.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
You also hang the picture up in your house.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yes, no, that was a I had it blown up
for some reason and framed and you know, We had
like a family room downstairs with kind of a den office,
and I had it hanging on the wall and it
was me dressed as Britney Spears. Yeah, and this is
where they would bring their friends to hang out. And
obviously they'd walk in and pause if you're just say
(03:25):
who's that?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
If you're just joining the show and you don't know
what we're talking about. Used to do skits at Kiss
concert and Billy dressed up in a wedding gown to
get married when gay marriage became legal, and it was
right around Kiss concert. I have to say that our
friend Bill here is a bridezilla, like in a lab
salute bridezilla.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
All I said to you one day is if I'm
going to be a bride and a woman and a gown,
I want to look beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I dried my vest.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Boy, I made a homely woman. I just justin. You
can't imagine how homely I am.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I've seen the pictures. But and also you didn't do
it just once. You did it multiple times, multiple time.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, because I was Britney Spears.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
One year, you're Olivia Newton John.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Olivia Newton John another year. Oh, and don't forget I
was Carmen Miranda with a fruit basket on my head
another year. And then of course the wedding gown.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Yeah, well that was yeah, the pinnacle. There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
No wonder my children look at me strangely. Well, yeah,
come on, it's crazy. It's a Friday before jingle Ball.
It's gonna be a crazy show this morning. In fact,
at nine ten this morning, we're gonna have a big
preview to jingle Ball. We'll put you in the mood.
We left clips soundbites from all the artists showing up
(04:43):
at jingle Ball this Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, and we're having a big staff brunch tomorrow. I
had a jingle Ball, absolutely fun. I've never gone. This
is my first year.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You're coming over the borders, as is producer Riley for
a big brunch. Well, shout out Straika on Hanover Street,
North End. That's where I headed tonight. By the way,
justin in case you're interested, I am going to the
Festival of Lights Lights in Mathuin.
Speaker 4 (05:04):

little drive through. You're going.
Speaker 1 (05:11):

good boy.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Oh we're you going with Titus? Yeah, it's right in
my house. It's like five minutes from you're going to
ask me to drive by. I'm not going to make
you drive by.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Do you have hot toddies?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
We have everything.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Some sort of a festive cocktail.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
No, there's not. Well, no, this beer downstairs, but no
one drinks in the house.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, so there's that. I bought my ticket. You have
to pay in advance and book your appointment to drive
your car through the lights in Mathua.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
They also have their own radio station, so when you
pull in, you two does the light drive through and
has a radio station you tune to, you turn to,
and then you play that station while you drive.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Do they want to host oh god?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
From the Planning Fitness it's one of eight studios. We're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
So Lisa Dunavan is sitting on this list the most
asked questions of Alexa in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
All right, so do you want to know what the
number one question was from twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, let's start there.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Okay, do you want to guess or do you want
me to tell you?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I think I know, okay, so you can tell me.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Okay. The number one question posed to Alexa this year
was what does AI mean?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It makes sense?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's that's all anyone's talking about.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Well, everyone's talking about it, you know a lot of
people don't know understand what it is or really understand
the impact that it has and is going to have
on our world. I mean, Time magazine just named the
AI people behind AI on the you know on the
forefront as the person of the Year the year.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yah Taylor Swift was the most asked about celebrity, especially
in countries like Australia. The other celebrities that were the
most asked about were Christian Ronaldo of course not surprised,
Taylor Swift, and Elon Musk. Now jingle Ball has some
connection to this list. For example, Musk came in there
(07:10):
when it came to questions about spouses of celebrities with
nosy users most commonly asking who Ed Sheeran is married to.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh, that's his child sweetheart, right, Jarrett.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yeah, some people are really interested about what his whole
situation is.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh yeah, well he's a curious fellow yep.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Swift was the most played artist via Alexa, followed by
Bruno Mars and then number three was Kate Pop Demon Hunters.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You know what we can ask at You're on backstage
at jingle Ball Sunday night. Hey do you see that
You're in the AI list of most asked questions?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Actually, yeah, that's me right, I should write that down.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
And then I love this this little section. Australians were
most interested in knowing how tall Subruden Carpenter is.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Oh, she's so short?
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah? What is she for? Ten?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yes, we're done. You're like a little chicken nugget.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And then who Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhart is married to?
Speaker 4 (08:06):
And then that's that's weird to me. I thought Millie
Bobby Brown's partner would have been asked about.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I totally agree. They also are very interested in who
mister Beast is, Yeah, and how much money he makes?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Bill?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Who's I asked, who's mister be You know? I had
an Alexa.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I don't know where it is. He's a YouTuber, Yeah,
the most popular YouTuber worth about a billion dollars A.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, so that's it. So that's pretty much the list.
I'm not surprised. Other questions that they ask are what's
the diameter of the earth? And how long do I
poach an egg for?
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh? Yeah, that's a tough one. Poaching eggs is not easy.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Have you ever poached an egg? Anybody in the room?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
You never poached?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
We used to poach them at at friendlies when I
was a grill cook. But we use the microwave to
poach them. Yeah, that's right. I remember saying system for
doing that. But yeah, and it didn't really come out
that well. Not a lot of people ordered ordered it
that way from there. But a good poached eggs eggs, Benedict,
(09:10):
you like, I do, no good, No, Bill, I can't
get near them. Why is it the sauce?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's too much soupy sauces and everything's dripping in. It's great.
Why do you have to drench the egg and all
this stuff? Just have an egg? That's so difficult.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So we have an Alexa fridge at home so we
can ask the the Alexa questions, which is good, but
it's not good when you know, because the kids can
ask in anything. Oh so any questions that we have
to monitor it kind of.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So what's the most asked question on your fridge.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Probably like math questions. Hi, homework, not homework because he
knows he's not allowed to do that, but just general
math questions. If he has I'll like walk in and
he just wants to know what this and this plus
is and.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
What do you think he's asking if you're not in
the room.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, we do our best to monitor.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Can you put restrictions on it?
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I'm not sure. We haven't caught him asking anything bad. Yeah,
but it is. It is nice. That's right there in
the kitchen. So that's pretty cool. I didn't even know
that existed Alexa in a refrigerator either.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
So your refrigerator basically talks to you.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, it's a screen. It has TV. We can watch
TV on it, we can stream music, we can You.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Have that cool thing where the cat. I saw that
yesterday because we were facetiming his house and he has
a video and the refrigerator on the screen of his
cat close up making these fangush smiles.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
It's like so creepy. Well, it was the elf elves,
elves on the shelves. We have two elves. The our
cat Jacks hung the elves from the light in the
kitchen and then the elves are jacks made a video
on the TV on the fridge.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh I thought Abel hung the elves.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, no, the cat did string them up. It's a
whole thing.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
That's quite a house.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, I'm telling you, let's always have a view into
the window of Justin's house would be one of the
most amazing things on earth.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah. So, you know, we had Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelcey last week. They don't argue, haven't been in one argument.
Last time we got into a little argument because we're
hosting Christmas at my house, a ton of people coming,
family and all that, and my wife wrote an itinerary
like times they have to arrive, this is when the
Yankee Swap is the festivities dinner, this you know, second
(11:28):
block schedule. Yeah, and she showed it to me and
I was like, okay, I'm okay. Does everybody get the schedule,
even the guests? Everybody, Yeah, that's the schedule. And then
she got all worked up that I wasn't like supportive
of her schedule. You know, much work I put into this,
I might just tell them to be here at four o'clock.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So what are the parameters of the Yankee swap.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
To get the twenty five dollars limits and you don't
have to participate, and kids will automatically get gifts.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Someone's gonna sit in the corner and refuse to participate for.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Some reason, might not want to participate, which is fine,
it's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I have my epic Yankee swap next week. You know,
the one that's all.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Over the top destroyer and what was it called the
demon iSER, the woman.

Stepan Diggs birthday party. Oh yeah, it looked like quite
a blast man.
Speaker 9 (17:50):
Yeah, Pats Bills Sunday one o'clock and we're guaranteed there
will be a TV set up backstage at jingle Ball
so we can watch the rest of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Has to be right.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I think it's the biggest game of the year for
the Patriots, as do I one o'clock kickoff Jillett's Stadium.
Now we want to talk about Timothy's Schallo May. There
is a rumor release and I'm sure you've seen it
that Challo May is secretly this UK rapper SD kid, Yes,
who's never shown his face.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Only shown his eyes, and he does strike a resemblance
to Timothy Schallo May. I will say that, but he's
never shown his face, he hasn't revealed his identity, so
it's kind of that been this buzz online and in
the rap world, like is that Timothy Schallomey?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's hard to decide based on just the eyes with
a mask covering the rest of his face, but they
think they know. But it turns out Challow May has
a long history with rap, going back to high school
when he performed for his statistics classes. Also in high school,
(19:07):
he did a live performance rap in front of a
live audience.
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Tim hold up your pants when he does that leg dancing.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
It'sus hilarious on YouTube. Remember he also wrapped with Pete
Davidson on Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
He was he was trying so hard not to laugh.
I mean, Keenan Thompson comes up and pushes him back down,
try not to show how much he was laughing at
Pete Davidson and everything that was going on.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Anyway, yesterday, for the first time, he was asked, are
you s D kid?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
I got no comment on that? Oh come on, I
got two words on that.
Speaker 10 (19:52):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
To two words.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
What's wrong with him? We've asten someone reading to readbook.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
All will be revealed in due time. So it's either him,
I don't think it's him, or he's just kind of
keeping the rule, keeping it alive. Yeah, keeping it going.
He's a huge hip hop fan, so I'm sure it's
not him that he definitely knows s the kid. They
probably are doing it together.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
When he was asked, he kind of pulled the Jordan Hudson,
we're not talking.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
About this, Yeah, keeping it going.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
We'll see Jason Kelsey's wife Kylie commenting on that conversation
between jac and Travis on the podcast about never ever
having an argument.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
No notice how my.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Husband was oddly quiet during this segment. He did ask
a couple clarifying questions, but for.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
The most part knew that he.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Could not say that. After almost eight years married.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
We absolutely argue.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yeah, that's a real answer.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, I respect that, and that's why I'd like her.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Well, they also have many children together, and that's where
a lot of the arguments come in.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Kids in money. Yes, yep, those are the biggest sources
of arguing Kylie, kids and money. I love Kylie.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So in other words, we'll revisit Travison Taylor.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
If they have kids in a few years.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Yeah, see how it's going.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Didn't Kylie have the number one podcast for a bit?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
It's really popular?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And finally, Justin Bieber went back to the bowling Alley
where he shot the music video for his song baby,
and he relived it and I was like, baby, baby, Baby,

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Well, it's the holidays, it's the Friday before the jingle Ball.
It's a crazy weekend, but it's also a very festive
weekend and now least we're talking about various and get together.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
It's for the holiday, okay. And one that's very common
this time of year our Yankee swaps. Sometimes they're called
the white Elephant. They're essentially the same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, I've never heard white elephant before. I'd go down
to Nantucket and go to the white Elephant and nobody
would be there.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I think in New England it's called the Yankee swap, okay,
but elsewhere it's called the white elephants.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
All right, So usually it's like twenty five dollars or less. Limits, right,
there's always a limit. I go to an epic one.
I've talked about it every year. It's next Thursday night.
It's at least fifty to like could Sometimes it's like
one hundred people, one hundred women, okay, and the limit's
fifty okay. Or they ask you to just do something
(24:51):
really crazy so you can spend more than the limit.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh well, this is the famous one where you brought
the fame miss.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Item I did from Goop. I ordered it several years ago.
It was the Womanizer and that was like the hot
item that just get that was stolen over and over
and over again.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah, I remember, and I remember that year because oh
I purchased I purchased it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You heard Lisa's story and went out and got the
Womanizer I did.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Yeah. Wow, it's a big hit in my house going
up there.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
So but we have a list of things. But I
do have to say that one year Billy went to
a Yankee swap and they themed it shark tank item.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, okay, things seen on shock tank, right.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Which I thought was a good idea to give people
someone of a focus.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
That's where I got the squatty partty right, yeah, which
you never used you should use.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I gave it to you.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
Did you give it to me?
Speaker 1 (25:52):
I gave you my squatty partty, And then the next
year you got me the torch Porsche or.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Whatever it'sh Tush is great. Hook that up too. I
can send someone to your house. My friend Allen will
come and hook it up at.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Your It needs a whole plumber to visit.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You know I think that sometimes Yankee swap gifts should
be funny, right, So like the Skim's murkin.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, kind of good to throw that in legendary moment
last year when we found out what American was right
at a Yankee swap.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But don't they lead to arguments sometimes because somebody's really
mad the last pick came from them. Like they still
get their.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Thing, Yeah, they they get their items stolen, but it's
usually the gift cards, dunks, Starbucks that people want. You
have to go into the Yankee swap or White Elephant
just planning to get something silly or get your things stolen.
That's the fun, right, people take it too far.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
My favorite Yankee swap was with my friends Brian and
Mitzi and Frank and Penny and and we're about ten
of us. But Frank owns a giant cannabis company. So
his secret Santa was a big box of pre roll
joints and.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Edibles that was in my Yankee swap last year and
now I think it went. That was a big hit
that got passed around.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, everybody is crawling around on all fours. It was
just embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Oh that's a mess, geez. But if you looking for
some ideas of things that popular, I do have a
list here. How about a mini waffle maker?
Speaker 3 (27:14):
You know that's actually a really good one. Yes, yeah,
because you can use it to make pizza, hash browns,
grilled cheese.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Yeah, that's all of those, and that's twenty five dollars
a less.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Yeah, Bill, you would like this a throw blanket. You
love throw pillows. It's a lot of those. Yeah, I know,
but it's something you would like.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I would take another one.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
Sure my wife wants. If you've seen these on Instagram
or Facebook ads, the comfy cozy blanket things you wear.
It's like a blanket that you wear.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Oh yeah, big blanket. Yeah. I almost got that from
Michelle and I showed it to hers that I have
no interest. Okay, oh really, yeah, but it seems like
a great idea.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
You put it on and it's like wearing a pillow case.
She's always cold. Yeah, okay. This next one on the
list is actually this was on my list before I
even saw this list. This is a great gift idea
for someone. An electric frother.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yes, I just it's like, you can do it for coffee.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I have one at home. It is a game change.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Yes, that is a great thing for a Yankee swap.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
And it's cheap too. So if you make coffee and
you mix cream or milking it, yeah, you just stick
it in there. It mixes perfectly, okay if you use
if you use like pre workout like I do, if
you put it in and mix it with a spoon
or shake it up, it doesn't fully mix. Frother will
mix it.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Can you use it for cocktails?
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Anything you want? Anything you want to mix, anything you
want to mix. Also on this there's some weird things
on this list. How about how about a tile tracker? Yeah,
you attach it to your wallet, camera, bill it. This
would be good for you. Anything you don't want to use,
you can attach it to it and you use the
Life three sixty app to track it, so when you
lose things. I lose things all the time, so that'd
(28:46):
be good for you. Okay, what else is on here?
Give me one more? Oh? How about this one? A
bag of fair trade coffee?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Okay, that's truly not moving.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It's not moving. I need it doesn't scream from.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Like Apple air tags. That's good to throw it. I
got those at a Yankee.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
So how much of those?
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I don't think they're that expensive.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
No, they're not that expensive.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
But if you have a twenty five dollars limit, like
my house is a twenty five dollars limit, you can't
go over.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh god forbid, I got the tags from doctor Sean.
Oh yeah, plastic service.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
That's a good gift. Have you used them? No, unbelieving
someday someday you will.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, they're still there.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
It's the season.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Hey, it's your girl, Sarah from Maine.
Speaker 12 (29:30):
So every year at our Christmas.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Party we do an X rated Yankee swap where someone
has to bring basically some kind of vice, like something
for sexy time, something alcohol related.
Speaker 13 (29:41):
Or maybe some other kind of recreational drug. And we
have found that not only do people love it, but
it makes for them a much more fun Christmas.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Party after the Yankee swap. So just an idea, Bye.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
What's more fun than being someone other than yourself?
Speaker 4 (30:02):
I always get fun things. I mean I always try
to get something that's either practical or that I use,
or something silly.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
You I think something really silly is fun and then
it can pop up in Yankee swaps from you know
from now on, Well, the tush will bring it back.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Was funny but also very practical. It's very good. Yeah,
the tushy is very good. You attach it to your
toilet and it just makes for a better experience. I
thought you would love it. It's still in the trunk
of my car. I can have someone come over free
of charge.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
And you keep saying that this plumber does not exist.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Okay, my friend Allen is a plumber. Yeah, but he's
not coming anywhere. Yes, him, go to your house ready
for this. He brings it up every time I see him. Hey,
I'd really like to do that for Billy, I'd really
like to come.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I have to say I bought the tushy too, and
it's still in my trunk.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Oh, it's a plumber for everybody. Oh my god, we
both have him in the trunk. Everybody can get one.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Take guys, you welcome ax to. We're talking about Yankee swaps.
Why up into all of these holiday games that people play,
gift giving, gift swapping ideas. Yeah, and everybody's got an idea,
everybody's got a complaint to, everybody's got a great story.
And that's why we're doing it. Heading into jingle Ball weekend.
You want to start with the chalk pack justin.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
I want to go to Terry online one. I think
she wants to explain something to us.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Oh, boy, Terry, are we in trouble for something?
Speaker 12 (31:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Absolutely, Okay, go ahead, Terry. What have you got?
Speaker 10 (31:27):
I always thought a white elephant was I've been to one.
You wrap up something like random in your house, any
of it and like a white elephant table at a
bazaar or something is.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Interesting. Take on it.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You're giving away your furniture stuff in your house.
Speaker 10 (31:44):
I've never heard that before, just like like a statue
or a trophy or something that's in your house. It's
more of a joke thing. It's not really a serious swap.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Actually, that's a good thought. Justin didn't you do that
for me one year? You gave me a hideous cat?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Yes? I did.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's still in my office.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Yeah. Yeah, it was a silly gift. It's a statue
of a cat what you kept, which I thank you
for that, you white elephant did me. Yeah. So they're
pretty much the same from what I'm reading. But the
white elephant it's more funny silly gifts.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Hey, but the Yankee swap is too, I mean adds
funny silly stuff in there.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
Yeah, the Yankee swap is more of a common regional
name for white elephants. Maybe here in New England. Huh's
pretty much the same thing. But thank you for the call, Terry,
thanks for carrying that up.
Speaker 6 (32:31):
So this year, our family, instead of getting a gift
because most people regift stuff, we are getting gift guards,
either to a restaurant or for an experience like bowling
or top golf or ect growing something like that. Sure
they can regift, but it's not as lethal as getting
(32:56):
an actual gift.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
Yeah, that sounds expensible.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Gift cards. Yeah, so you said bowling or what hop golf,
acts throwing, you know, experiences for gift cards.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
No, gift cards are really popular. You can't go wrong everybody.
Everybody will use them.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Those and scratch tickets, Yeah, those are another one that
was your big big I'm going.
Speaker 13 (33:15):
To a Yankee swap this weekend and the price limit
was fifty dollars. I was going to get a fifty
dollars scratch ticket. Is that lame or do you think
it would cause problems if something actually did win?
Speaker 4 (33:28):
So I always about this, like what happens, Yes, you
give the scratch ticket and there's a big winner. I
was going to ask this, do you ask for a cut?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yeah, Like, let's say that give the scratch ticket person
wins like a million dollars. Are you obligated to give
everybody at the party some money? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I've been to plenty of Yankee swaps where scratch tickets
are given out and then after it's all done, everyone's scratching.
And I always think to myself, what if someone hits
a mill or one hundred thousand, They'll never tell you. Yeah,
they just put it, they tell you.
Speaker 14 (34:02):
So I am going to a met swap tomorrow. She
doesn't like the Yankee, so she calls it a met swap.
And I have a mini omelet maker, and then I'm
getting a pepper onion and mushrooms and some eggs and
putting it in a cold bag. And that's what I'm
giving for a gift.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
What do you all think maybe she can grill it
up right there at the party once it's she's giving it.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
That's a gift. She's giving an omelet maker and then
all the things making.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
What did they call it?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
I couldn't a met swap?
Speaker 4 (34:36):
What is that person hosting it as a Mets fan,
not a Yankee? She doesn't want to use the word yankee.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, okay, give me a break.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
It's it's silly.
Speaker 7 (34:45):
So when I was younger, we used to do like
all the little cousins would do, like a Secret Santa
kind of deal, and then the adults they would do
the Yankee swap. Or they might have started doing like
a Secret Sanna, but then they started doing a Yankee swap.
And one year my dad ended up with two dollars
bills on like two two dollars bills, and he thought
they were fake, so he threw him in the fire
(35:06):
right behind him.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
Those are worth money now, yes, if they are printed
before I think it's nineteen seventy something, it could be
worth money. So check I have some two dollar bills
at home. Yeah, I'm going to check them out.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
We have money, three dollar bill.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Okay, let's go to Carl online one in Weymouth. Good morning, Carly.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Hi, guys, Hi Carl.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Sorry, Bill was trying to get it to get it together.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Carly. You need to understand I get
a real kick out of myself. That's okay, Okay, here
you go. What have we got, Carl?
Speaker 6 (35:44):
All right?
Speaker 10 (35:44):
So last night we had our office holiday party.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
And we did it was we brought our.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
Own gifts like a Yankee swap like you would do typically.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
We wrapped them up.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
And everybody put a hint on their gifts, and then
we auctioned off the gifts with fake money and.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
Everybody had to bid against each other for what they
thought was in the present. So it got it got
pretty competitive and they were good gifts.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
There was like some books, there's some scratch tickets, there.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
Were games, there were uh sweatshirts.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
So it was fun. We had a great time.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Sounds a little gamey for me.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Was there a price limit? Yeah, we gave everybody two
hundred dollars again sake money, but yeah, and it was fun.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
It was like everybody was trying to.
Speaker 13 (36:43):
Outbid each other for a gift that they had no
idea what was really.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Behind it, oku idea.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It was different, it was different. Yeah, I would do
that different office.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah, exactly good.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
It's one of those things you think going in is lame,
but then you end up having a b Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Drinks are flowing, yeating, good food, having fun. That's what
it's all about.
Speaker 10 (37:04):
It.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
One year my work did are gift swap so that
means bringing the worst gift you've ever received.
Speaker 13 (37:13):
And swap it.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
So I brought in a picture that my father had
given me brains of his.
Speaker 13 (37:20):
Will, and that was the worst gift I had ever received.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
What's that remind you of? Bill?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
What the regift?
Speaker 4 (37:29):
It's not jogging any memories for you of the time
I got you when I had no money. I had
was working at Friendlies, slipping burgers and working here, and
I had no money for a gift. So my wife
suggested that she would blow up a picture of Billy
and I beautiful picture and put it in a beautiful
frame and give that as a gift. So I gave
it to Bill and Lisa, and then a couple of
(37:51):
days after he said, oh, thank you, it was in
the trash office.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
Lie, there's no way I have that. You're somewhere in my.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Out because I took it out of the trash and
put it back in your desk.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
No, no, no, no, no, I know exactly where that
picture is in the house, and I'm going to bring
it in Monday morning, and you know what I'm going
to do. I'm going to regift it to you.
Speaker 13 (38:16):
Good morning, Billy and Lisa Crewe.
Speaker 12 (38:18):
I just wanted to share some big swap ideas that
I've used in the past, and they were very successful.
It's more of a twenty five to fifty dollars limit though,
either packing compression cubes or a weighted vest.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Have a good day, all right, okay, the weighted vest.
So my worst gift ever was that fifty pound weighted blanket.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Oh god, I remember verge of all your cluster phoebus
and you got the idea from me?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
I know.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Yeah? Could you wear a weighted vest?
Speaker 13 (38:48):
Though?
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Least when you work out?
Speaker 1 (38:49):
It's a good idea, I think.
Speaker 6 (38:51):
So.
Speaker 4 (38:51):
Yeah, they're nice.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Yeah, they say jog with it.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, even just walking you can ruck. You can ruck
with it.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yeah, I'll walk with it.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Yeah that's rocking. Okay, you could do that would be good.
But I remember that with the blanket. It's like, what
am I going to do with this?
Speaker 14 (39:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Suffocating me?
Speaker 4 (39:04):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
The biggest regift on earth is champagne. Oh we must
have twenty bottles of champagne lying around in a closet
because it's never good champagne. And like everybody just know,
if somebody's coming to your house with the bottle of champagne,
they got it from someone else. So true, Yeah, it's
(39:27):
so number one. Yeah, don't even bother because they're just
going to take it and put it in a closet.
No one's drinking it.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
But if it's worth money, it's never worth money. It's
not worth anything.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
They got it from someone else, who got it from
someone else.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
That bottle of both clicko or whatever you're ners. Okay, no,
I know, but that has been passed around like ten times.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Yes, yeah, because when do people drink champagne? I don't never,
so I don't.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
New Year's Eve, yeah, I guess. But even think about it.
Next time you're at a party and somebody's having a
toast and they opened a bottle of champagne, pay attention
to how few people drink it?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Right?
Speaker 4 (40:00):
Okay, yeah, I've never had champagne, never never tasted it.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Yeah, it's not my favorite.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
Yeah, not so much. My uncle got a corilling iron.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Unfortunately he's bald.
