Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on Kids
run Away.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome into the Billy and Lisa
Morning Show. This is the Friday edition, the Big Friday Show.
And I get a couple of words for you, Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Cold huh, A little but little chilli start.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Oh boy, is it ever cold that overnight last night?
What's it going to be like today?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
We'll start out with some sun and then we'll have
more clouds later, but temseling the upper fifties.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Maybe a pop up shower tonight, but not too bad.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Pretty nice weekend though.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Nice weekend.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Yeah, it's the thirties. When I got in my car
this morning and I have to go home and do
leaves because from this week and the wind and the.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Storms earlier this week, I.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Got to keep up with it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
There's so many leaves on my front yard. The issue
of my house is my neighbor who I love across
the street doesn't touch his leaves until the very end
of the season. So I clean up mine to kind
of stay with them, and then his just blow all
over my Yah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's very common. Do you have any kind of machinery
to deal. I know you're up in North Country. I
have a very high powered blower. I'll be blowing all
day today when.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I get home, and then you bag all the leaves yourself.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
No, I blow them into the woods. But today, when
they're so thick, I this sounds very sexual. I blow
them into a big pile, and I have a tarp
that I rake them on, and then I dragged the
tarp into the woods.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's what landscapers do.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, well, you may want to check on the legality
of that. I don't know if that might be frowned
upon because the woods are not your property.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Okay, okay, I'm just saying I went for this, mister lawyer.
I went through this in Lindfield. You can't blow that's
what that's their home. I'm putting the leaves in their home.
I'm just saying, check. When did you get some sort
of a citation or Okay, well, you know what, I'm
not going to blow leaves today. I'm just gonna go home,
take a nap. Leave the leaves alone. It says it
(01:56):
right in it, leave all right, I have alone.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Just to burn the leaves. That's the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well, kid. It smelled so nice.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think you have to get a special permit in
different towns to be able.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
For that to burn them. Yeah, have you ever burned them?
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Nor?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I never have. I do have a fire pit, but
it's very small. Yeah, it would take a lot long time.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
LISTA you have a late night? Did you just pull
in from Hartford this morning?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You know almost we weren't done in Harper for Alisa's
book Club with Jeff Benedict from the Dynasty book and
the Apple TV doc, yet we were. We were with him,
he got He is such a great storyteller. I mean
I could just listen to him forever. He just has
so many great fly on the wall stories from being
embedded with the Patriots for several years writing his book.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, on this show, he was great.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
He's so great.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And then we asked him about Bill Belichick and what
his thoughts on on what's going on with Bill?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And yeah, he don want to know what's going on
with Jordan. Does he have any thought?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
She said that that wasn't the story.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
That the real story is that no NFL team picked
him up, and there were teams like the Titans who
ended up taking somebody that you know, no one knew,
and you know there were a lot of the there's
a lot going on there, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What he said. No one wanted to deal with Bill. Nope, No,
sounds like us some days and yesterday, you know what
to say.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I skipp right over that anyway, But it was the
drive was great, ninety five to seven, our sister station,
A wonderful group of people down there, Courtney and Savannah.
So we did the interview and yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
We're back, We're back from Hartford.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Yeah, so yesterday, and.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I want to thank ninety plus sellers because they sponsored it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, you always want to thank the people providing the one.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Ninety plus sellers doesn't mean Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So yesterday, as we were saying goodbye the very last
break of the show, yesterday we had late breaking news.
And the late breaking news was this massive FBI investigation
into the FBI and excuse me, the La Cosa Nostra.
(04:02):
I didn't even know that mob still existed, that's the original.
But after we left with the breaking news, the story exploded.
Yeah I did, I mean it blew up big time.
Oh yeah. Thirty people arrested, including three former Celtic players,
one of which is a current coach of the Trailblazers,
(04:25):
one of which is.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
A current play Yeah, and I think it's going to
get bigger.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think so too.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I said to Billy yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You never want the FBI to show up at your
house in one of those battering rams.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, No, first you get the.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
It's the FBI, and you're like, oh.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Sometimes you don't. Sometimes you don't get that though. Sometimes
they just come in hundreds. But if they're just coming in,
there's the blunt sound.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Of the battering rams the door, which basically took your
front door off its hinges.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Yeah, and you're in bed. Imagine this is how you're
waking up.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
They don't mess around.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And then you get out of bed, and what's the
first thing you do. I mean, I'm not experienced with this,
but you're gonna walk over to the window and look
outside and see what's going on. And you're seeing SWAT
trucks and dozens of guys in helmets and masks and
rifles like machine guns, and you're still sleeping.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That all wake out exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Every time you see the swat trucks. You know, the
Fox trucks still black.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Yeah, you know you're it's a platoon of like agents
walking behind the swat truck right because they're afraid of
oncoming gunfire. Like, and then your neighbors are like, it's
going on at Bob's house.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It looks like airport.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You're going you're doing the purple walk. Oh yeah, your
purple Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
They have like the alien lights outside your house.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You have to put some boxes on when you get
out of bed. You'll never forget this moment.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Everybody in the house is up and Noddy's downstairs, right,
and then send my house the house.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Now, I'm bringing it to your house because your yard
and property is so big.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
They're gonna be coming out of the wood woods like
the hands.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They're gonna use the trails that I built as a roadmap,
and they're gonna roll right over the chicken head the
hen house.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Yeah, Like those trucks don't stop, they're coming in.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The chickens will be flying everywhere from.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
The planet Fitness Kiss One Away Studios. We're back with
Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, we're back. So you know, when you do a
live morning radio show like the Billy and Lisa Morning Show,
there's really nothing like a big buzz story and boy,
do we have one this morning? A massive two year
investigation into illegal sports betting, fixing games, faking injury, sharing
(07:13):
inside information. Thirty people arrested, including three former Celtics players.
The scandal involving the NBA and the mafia. The FBI
had this message yesterday. My message to the defendants who've
been rounded up today is this, your winning streak has ended.
(07:34):
Your luck has run out. And now we go to
WBZTV sports guy Levin Reid. He is live on the phone, Levin,
I'm not lying. This is a big buzz story.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I would say this when I got a chance to
hear everything was breaking yesterday. The buzzword when we've always
heard the words organized crime. But the FBI directed to
tell and he threwn mafia. It kind of stopped me
in my track and he mentioned organized crime family and
I was like, Okay, what is happening? And I didn't know.
And as you go through it, the one thing I
think we all thought was, Wow, the NBA has got
(08:08):
a huge problem because obviously these are three players and
they were all doing multiple different things to kind of
gamble and make sure the game was whether it be
rigged or not rigged or let so the betters know
that something else was going on. And maybe we all thought,
when you know, when they started legalized gambling and better,
(08:28):
that something like this would happen. But nobody knew that
it would be so wide ranging, or maybe they didn't
know and we were just naive to it. But this
was crazy yesterday eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Why just see NBA.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
It's not just the NBA. I think for what this
was telling us is that it could go on all
over the place. It can go on everywhere. I just
think they why they focus on the NBA because I
just think it's easier to do. You have only twelve
to fourteen players that are on the bench and only
maybe eight or nine that play, so it's easier for
(09:01):
you to say, Okay, this guy at least for a guy.
People who are doing the investigation, they can say, this
guy is the guy that's making some of the problems here,
instead of you know, we're not looking at Will Campbell
on the offensive line and saying I don't want to
put his name out there with this thing an offensive line,
then making a mistake and letting a guy go through.
It was very easy to do point shaving, as they've
done in the past, and it seems like the NBA
(09:22):
has always been whether it be with Tim donaghye and
the refereeing. Now we have players and coaches, they're always
in front and center when it comes to gambling and
just illegal, illegal things that just to help the game
get along and help the betterest kind of profit.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, ironically, it seems like recently we've been seeing more
stories involving refs and or empires, and.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I think for all of us it's a reason why
when we watch games, when we're looking for flags and
when we're looking for something. What's the first thing that
everybody said this game at sixth Because every game.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Everybody's talking about it. Here's some of what you had
to say yesterday.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
I'm ashamed that that those guys will put their families
and their careers in jeopardy like that. There's old saying
in the hood. All money ain't good money. So if
you're making nine million dollars and you're dealing a certain
things like how much how much more do you need?
Especially especially if you know you get caught, you can
do jail time, lose your career, you know, put and put,
(10:24):
you know, put put a bad image on yourself. Or
your family or on the NBA they dropped.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The ball and Levin, here's someone what Stephen A. Smith
had to say.
Speaker 11 (10:31):
Yes, gloracity and the substance of the case itself. That
has to be determined and that has to bear out,
and we have to keep our eyes and ears to
the to the grind about that to decipher you know
how significant this is. But there's no question that it's serious.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So Levin, you think it's going to spread to other sports?
Speaker 9 (10:54):
I think I think the one thing that was taking
when I listened to all of that little one, I
think I don't know if I think it's I don't
know if it's not already going on in other sports.
So I can't say if it's going to spread or not.
I would be naive to say that it's not going on.
But if you listen to the conversation that they had
with FBI Director Patel when he said that, and when
we all understand that Terry Rozier he was brought up
(11:15):
on an NBA investigation a couple of years ago and
they took his phone and then they just let him go.
So in my mind, when I read all of that stuff,
I thought, well, this is because of that, maybe the
NBA was was on it and the FBI was like, no, no, no,
no no. We've been working on this for a long
time away from this what you mentioned, because we need
(11:37):
to get finish this story.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You mentioned Terry Rozier justin had a video montage earlier
this morning that somebody dropped overnight last night, and god,
some of the things he was doing on the court
were really obvious. He was throwing games like the games like.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
He's grabbing an ankle, he's moving this way, he's faking
injuries on the side. It was weird to watch. And
again like but if you're not looking for it, you
don't you don't think about it. But when you when
this is brought into you know, to the forefront, you're
thinking to yourself, Oh my god, what is that all about.
It's it's a It was. It was a bombshell. It
(12:14):
was a bombshell to watch this all kind of unravel
yesterday in front of our eyes.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And we haven't even talked about the Polker side of it,
like all the machines and everything with the X rays,
looking at the cards from the underside. When about you
to start learning how many people lost so much money.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
I felt like we were watching like Ocean's eleven Yes,
and they were describing it. I was like, oh, they
were like cameras underneath the tables. I'm like, I've heard
of that, and camel's in the card dishes. I was like,
I know about that. I'm like, how how far reaching
were they for that? All these players and were losing
tens and millions of dollars man, you know, and and
(12:52):
and again through different types of crime families that were involved.
And again I felt it felt strange for him for
them to mention crime families and then throw out the
family's means. I was like, oh, like, it was such
a weird thing that we because again we're not watching
Good Fellas. This was on a Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Levin I thought the same thing they said, Lacas nostra,
I said that still exists.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
I literally was again, I would have walked by the
television if they said and you know, organized crime families.
When you said mafia cosha, you said the Gambino family.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I'm like, oh, man, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (13:31):
These guys walking around with Derby hats and tiny cigars
And I'm like, oh boy, we got trouble now, Levin,
thank you so much for coming on.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We can watch you on WBZ TV.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
You guys can real quick. You guys can have me anytime.
I feel weird that I was done the first time
I'm on the show. We're talking about gambling, So you
can have me on if you want to talk about
like you know, like tell a stript. I know nothing
about it, but you can still have me on.
Speaker 12 (13:55):

Entertainment Report continues, So how about this Stranger Thing series
finale's going to drop on Netflix and Hit movie theaters
on the same day, New Year's Eve, and then it'll
happen on New Year's Day as well. Quickly Kimba Kardashian
on season seven, the premiere of The Kardashian says she
(20:38):
has a brain aneurysm.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
There's like a little aneurysm. Whoa. They're like, just stress,
and I'm like, why are the this is happening.
Speaker 17 (20:46):
I always felt really bad and always protected and always
like wanted to help, and this was the first time
I didn't feel that responsibility personally.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Should have stuck it out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I could have helped, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Well, as it happens, as many as seven million people
in the US have them, and they say it's very
common in women.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But I didn't know that it was caused by stress.
That's my question.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
It doesn't necessarily have to be stressed, Okay, but I
guess Kim's got a lot of stress in her life.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
And she Kanye West, Yeah, that was a big stressor.

them on. This way, it all works, you know what
I'm saying. Go to Dover Rugnatic Boston Burlington or doverrug
dot com and there you go. Oh Holly.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
As a police officer myself, we don't stop people going
through a quote unquote yellow light.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Well, Billian Lisa kiss one a way, Hey.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Guys, it's Poller in Boston.
Speaker 14 (21:55):
I got a good topic for you. Do you have
any Uber horror stories from an Uber ride?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Last night?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
We went to assembly and we got this horrible Uber driver.
Speaker 14 (22:06):
He got us back to Ever in three minutes, speeding
through traffic.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I saw my life flashed before my eyes.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Road rage, high beaming, people cutting people off, same any good.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Any thing worse than that is when they drive too slow.
First of all, I want to be very careful. We
love Uber drivers less drivers, and we have a lot
of them listening every morning. But everybody's got a little
pet peeve. It's not necessarily the driver's fault. It's just
they are who they are and we are who we are.
I think they use too many scented trees.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Well, Also, you know, if you're an Uber driver and
you're listening to this segment, which a lot of them do,
that are out of the roads right now, you can
hear what people have to say.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Maybe make some adjustments. Okay, you know, back off on
the scented trees.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Okay again, we love our Uber and left driver, we
love them.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
One tree is fine, one scented tree. But sometimes they'll
have them on every air freshen air, the house in
the back hanging down.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It becomes too much, too much.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah, I have I just have a general question about
Uber and Lyft drivers. Sometimes I've been in their cars
and they're on the phone the entire time, and I'm
always wondering, like, who are they talking to?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Probably the Uber office, Yeah, you know, they're probably giving
them their next trip.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, they're on the phone the entire trip.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
No, I get the impression the house calls a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh, like what's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Yeah, tell them what's going on? The kids are getting
ready that because I mean you know, I mean they're.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
In the car all day, You're right, and they're on
and sometimes overnight too.
Speaker 10 (23:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
I always think they're talking to you know, if they
have family in another country, yep, you know those different
time zones. Yeah, yeah, they'll be talking to them. But yeah,
the center tree, that the smell thing, if it's too much,
can be overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Oh, you have to open the window.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Yeah, and then you know, if they talk a lot,
maybe you're not in the mood to be so chatty.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I love when you get into a lift and say
that you need something very fast, so you get like
the the higher level once in a while. Oh yeah,
like just once in a while, and they have the
little bottles of water.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Now I try to go with the black car as
much as I can. Well, okay, Michelle, on the other
hid don't.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I don't, but I'm saying I had to once recently
because I had to get somewhere quick and that was
that was the one of that was available in like
one minute, and it was like so it was like, oh,
this is.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
So cool, it's luxury. I only took a black car
one time because of Bill. I went to his boat
and he ordered me an uber and it was a
black car and I was like, so this is how
Bill lives. I will say this.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Michelle is the opposite of me, as you know. And
the problem is she's the one that usually orders the
Uber or the lyft, and one time, like she finds
the cheapest possible level of uber. Okay, on oh, I
don't even know what it is. But all I know
and I'm not even making this up. One time she
ordered the car. The car pulled up at Charlestown Marine,
a number one marina in the world by the way,
(24:59):
pulls up. It was missing the front quarter. The car
was missing the entire right front quarter. And it pulled up.
And I didn't say anything. I just looked at Michelle
and I said, really, did you hop in? And you
know what's weird is you know we were going to
like a restaurant. You know, we had to pull right
(25:21):
up in front of the restaurant. I had him pull
over like two blocks in the restaurant. I didn't want
to be seen getting out of the car.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Well, you know, missing a quarter, did you have to
respect the hustle?
Speaker 17 (25:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
He was right? Oh yeah, he was all in What
seat care he lost the quarter somewhere and whatever, leave
it there, just keep driving.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
So I have a horror story, not about uber but
about taxis because I drove a taxi. Oh when I
was younger, my father got me a job driving for
a local you know, cab company. Yeah, And so one
time I picked up a passenger and from Malden Station
and we were driving, and I was not in my
(26:00):
right mind, obviously, and I ended up getting into an
accident and crashed into a tree. And then you know,
he was okay and I was okay. I don't really remember,
but I apparently I crashed and then I got out
and just just ran home and you left.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
You left the customer and the the in the taxi
and took off, and he's like pinned up against the tree.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
So obviously, you know, they came to get me, and
they cuffed me and they arrested me. They brought me
into court, and I just remember that the judge or
the DA was reading like the facts of the case
man and the guy. The guy gave a witness report
that I was driving and I had rap music playing
so loud that he was trying to talk to me
(26:42):
and say, hey, can you can you slow down a
little bit, But I was like botting my head to
the music and I must have just not been paying attention.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
H God.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That was the end of my, uh my taxi career.
So no more.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Hey, guys, what Lisa was saying about them being on
the phone. My horror story is I got into an uber.
The guy was on his phone and I just happened
to say, excuse me because I had to say something.
He puts his hand up and says I'm speaking, rolls
his eyes and just ignores me. It was very intense.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Again, that's a rare incident. Okay. We love our Uber
and the drivers, although we'd love to hear from them.
I know a lot of them are listening to this show.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
One other little thing that happens every once in a
while when you're traveling, right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
You order the Uber. Sometimes it's very early in the morning, it's.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Still dark out, and once in a while I'll notice
they won't even get out of the car and you
handle your own luggage like there's no helping, Like, and
you've got like four giant suitcases.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You're going somewhere, you know far. And it rarely happens,
but sometimes I'm like, how about that. He never even
got out of the car to say hello. I don't
think they're supposed to, right, Oh, they always do.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Oh they always help me, the Uber driver.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Oh yeah, I get right out and they start taking
the luggage and you slip into the back seat.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, wow, Bill, you had to load your own luggage.
You pour through.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
I'm just saying it happens once in a little baby,
just saying you want a good tip, you know, at
least come out of the car and acknowledge, you know,
Can I help you with that?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'll even say no, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Maybe they're not supposed to, or maybe it's not part
of the deal.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
No time, I'm gonnaut Oh okay, just saying, so, did
that affect their tip? Is the question?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
No, you still tipped? Yeah, Oh you're a sucker. It
didn't affect this. So it didn't affect their tip?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He's yeah. I mean because they're working so damn hard
they do it in the morning.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
You wanted an uber black a few years back to
get to a wedding.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was supposed to be a brand new Denali.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
The guys showed up with a early two thousands pickup.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Truck with a would rack on the back and a couple.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
On the what was on the roof a canoe.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I gotta respect that. I love that guy.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
We're having a conversation here this morning about uber drivers. Now,
I want to be clear, these are not complaints. These
are more like curiosities. The uber drivers, and let's go
to the phones first. And Katie, you're calling from Wellesley.
You have an uber a story for us?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I do.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
My husband is an uber driver good and he absolutely
hates drunk women because he says they're really really loud
and obnoxious. And he's had like a couple of people,
men in particular, proposition him for sex.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I'm sorry, it's your husband like a strikingly handsome dude.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I think he is, but I don't know what other
people think.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
So let me get this. So guys get in the
backseat of his uber and come on to him. Yes, ah,
that's so cool. Did he ever bring anybody home?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
No, he hasn't brought anybody home.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
A good story, Yeah, I like that one. That's a
good start. Thank you Katie for the call from beautiful Wellesley.
Let's go to BC and Wallfam. Good morning, BC, Good
morning guys.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
Thanks taking the call. So I'm not strikingly handsome like
the last callers husband. I'm on Chicago about two weeks ago.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
For a conference.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
So I happened to be about six to two, maybe
like three hundred and ten pounds, And of course the
uber pulls up. The uber is a like a PRIs.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
You know.
Speaker 15 (30:35):
Of course, the driver happens to be about the same
size as me, but about two feet shorter, and she
has the seat so far back that she's literally looking
like ball the eyeball with me.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
So I'm like, God, there is going to be a
long ride.
Speaker 15 (30:49):
So the ride from where I was to you know
O'Hare was about an hour and forty five minutes.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
Oh god, the first.
Speaker 15 (30:57):
Words out of this woman's mouth now, I'm married with
two kids, could play hockey, the whole thing, like, we're
always like running crazy. And the first word out of
the slavey's mouth is, you know, my husband's not acting
right at home. I'm like, oh no, I can't wait.
I hear this at home a lot. I can't just
seven minutesa it was an interesting ride, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Wait a minute, she said, what, my husband's not home
right now?
Speaker 15 (31:19):
Just no, just not acting right at home. And I'm like, oh, lady,
please don't do this to me.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
For an hour and.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Forty five minutes, so she wanted to chat.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
Oh no, she's saying he was not acting rightly. She
wanted to complain about her husband precisely a lot of
the same things we were doing at home myself, so
you know, wasn't a great ride for me for sure?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, hour in forty five minutes. Boy, all right, thanks
for the call. BC. Let's go to Hillary. Hillary is
in Newton. Good morning, Hillary, Good morning.
Speaker 16 (31:50):
So I had I tend to chat a lot with
Uber drivers and we were just chatting about life, and she.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Asked if I was married, if I he wasn't coming
on to me, but you know, I said no, and
he was.
Speaker 13 (32:05):
Like, oh, well you can't be happy, and I was like,
I'm very happy.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
And he called me a liar.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
He said, you're a liar.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Confrontational car.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
He called me a liar, and then I was gotten
out of the car.
Speaker 16 (32:21):
But we were on the highway and when we got
to where I was going, he was like, well I
have someone I could.
Speaker 13 (32:26):
Set you off with.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh god, I'm.
Speaker 16 (32:29):
So happy I had something to say. I was like, well,
if he's anything like you, I'm not interested.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
And I thought that was a car.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, Hillary, can will you ask you a question? Are
you happy right now?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm very happy, liar.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Let's go to Jordan. We're getting a lot of calls.
Good morning, Jordan, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
How are you guys?
Speaker 13 (32:51):
Doing today.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
We're great, go ahead.
Speaker 16 (32:54):
So I have an uberstory. I was with my cousins
in Nashville celebrating one of their twenty first birthday and
we got in the Suber and while we were driving,
there was a ton of traffic and the.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
Uber driver was driving really crazy, like stop and go
really fast. Like I was like, oh my gosh, we're
going to get into an accident, and sure enough, he
hit the person in front of us. While we're in
the car. Everyone's okay, thank god, but it was it
was just like a fender bender and he started to
drive away, and I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
My gosh, wait a minute, it was a hit and run.
Speaker 13 (33:28):
Yes, he was gonnait and run with us in the car.
I was when you got to pull the car over,
and we ended up he ended up pulling over. But
it was the weirdest thing I've ever I've ever encountered
it an Uber.
Speaker 16 (33:38):
It was so crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, maybe his license was expired or something and he
didn't want to get involved. But good one. I like
that one. Nashville's kind of a crazy place.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Hey do you guys ever fill out that little survey
when you book the Uber where they ask you if
you want air conditioning or heating?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Or do you want to talk or not talk? They
actually ask you those questions. I have seen it. I've
never filled it out me either.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Yeah. Yeah, if you don't want someone that's gonna speak
to you.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, it's just too involved. Just bring the car.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah, so they have an option? Do they have an
option for like helping with luggage?
Speaker 3 (34:09):
I haven't seen that, but it's usually time based, right,
It's always like which car is going to get here
the quickest?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I know where he's going with the luggage thing. Poor Bill,
you know they didn't help with the luggage. You didn't
like it. This is land overdriver for the luggage. I
only help ladies and old people. I don't help young
men because even if you do that, they don't did well,
Bill's not necessarily a spring chicken, Okay, but why do
(34:37):
we have to go there? All that matters is he
thought I was a young man. He did, yes, and
he still got tipped regardless. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
I mean it's just it's curiosity, I say, are not complaints.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
They're curiosity. Is like, why do most immediately get out
of the car and help you with the luggage, and
then some just sit there and say, yeah, you're on
your own.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I just picture Billy, right, Lisa, you know, dragt his luggage,
putting it in.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Looking at the guy, yeah, giving him the eyeball.
Speaker 14 (35:04):
This guy who I didn't scammed by a lift driver
when I was in LA two years ago. This guy
said he was a lift driver, but he really wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
He had one of those signs in his car.
Speaker 14 (35:12):
I didn't book it through the app. I was with
my brother two in the morning. I just wanted to
get back to the hotel, and he ended up picking
my MX card, giving me back someone else's MX card
and went on a shopping spree overnight, cracked up my
MX card thousands of dollars worth of charges.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I was scammed, Wicks. That happened to me. Remember somebody
scammed my MX card. Suddenly I had two hundred Uber
charges within four days on my AMEX and we had
a filet with MX. The weird thing about it, MX
paid for it, you know, because they knew it was
a hack. But they denied Michelle and Uber from then
(35:50):
on like she did something wrong, like she was and
I have to use left level or I have to
book the ubernow, which means we're booking the book.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Oh right, so she's banned from Uber from the app, yeah,
and it's because we were victims of fraud credit card fraud.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
And yet they canceled Michelle's Uber account. Well, let's go
to Todd in line one. Need him, Hey Todd, what's up? Hey,
guys love the show.
Speaker 12 (36:15):
We were in Silly about a year ago, and we
left an hour early to go to seventy six ers game.
The hotel was maybe fifteen minutes away, so we'd have
a ton of time to explore the arena. After about
twenty minutes, we look on the Uber driver's map and
it says arrival times thirty minutes. And we said to me,
are you going the right way? Said, oh yeah, I'm fine,
Novas area. I know ways better than Uber does, better
(36:36):
than Ways does. And you know, next thing we know,
we're crossing a bridge and we're like, isn't that in
New Jersey? And we've had tell us you know, you
were not in a great place, So what's across the bridge?
We said, do us a favorite? Can we just get
out here? You let us out there, and within about
five seconds, the Uber app said, it looks like you've
departed early from your vehicle, would you like another one?
(36:59):
And yep, they sent another car. We got there just
on time. But wow, yeah, no idea where he was
taking it.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
But I will say Uber is a very well run organization,
as is Lyft. Can you remember when we didn't have Uber.
You had an incredible invention.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I know Uber left.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Imagine being an early investor into Uber. Yeah, and Kutcher
was an early investor.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
It was if someone would tell you that you would
hop into a stranger's car and take off, you'd be like, no,
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
But we all do it, and you order it and
it's there in like four minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
We were taught as kids, don't talk to strangers, don't
get in people's car, right, And that's exactly what we do,
and that's.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
What we do every single day.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
So I had a friend that took an Uber to
head to work and the Uber driver ends up getting
into an accident.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
They get out of the car and the Uber driver goes,
I wasn't driving.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
You were driving, And my friend was like, uh, no,
you were driving.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
And though he was extremely intoxicated, got arrested on the spot.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah you're not driving. From the back seat, no, no,
you know, you just can't drive from the back seat
and he'll never be an Uber driver again. Yeah, which
is sad, and it's sad. They make decent money. I mean,
it's all about how much you work. It's a hustle.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
My wife's two uncles have a side job doing ubering.
Make a lot of money. They make good money. Oh hustle,
you know, as a second job.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
So good morning, it's the Mayor of the South.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Then I'm taking a walk.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
It's chilly out.
Speaker 11 (38:33):
I had to go get my Mega Million's ticket because
it's worth seven hundred million.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
You know, could you rerun my Uber story?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Remember when I opened.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
The back seat of the Uber and there was a
big dildo on the seat.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
That was a good one.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
You know. We tried to forget that story, mister mayor,
but yeah, that was back in April. How can we
forget Yeah day, thank you,
Now this morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 3 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on Kids
run Away.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well, good morning, everybody. Welcome into the Billy and Lisa
Morning Show. This is the Friday edition, the Big Friday Show.
And I get a couple of words for you, Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Cold huh, A little but little chilli start.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Oh boy, is it ever cold that overnight last night?
What's it going to be like today?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
We'll start out with some sun and then we'll have
more clouds later, but temseling the upper fifties.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Maybe a pop up shower tonight, but not too bad.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Pretty nice weekend though.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Nice weekend.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Yeah, it's the thirties. When I got in my car
this morning and I have to go home and do
leaves because from this week and the wind and the.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Storms earlier this week, I.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Got to keep up with it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
There's so many leaves on my front yard. The issue
of my house is my neighbor who I love across
the street doesn't touch his leaves until the very end
of the season. So I clean up mine to kind
of stay with them, and then his just blow all
over my Yah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
That's very common. Do you have any kind of machinery
to deal. I know you're up in North Country. I
have a very high powered blower. I'll be blowing all
day today when.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I get home, and then you bag all the leaves yourself.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
No, I blow them into the woods. But today, when
they're so thick, I this sounds very sexual. I blow
them into a big pile, and I have a tarp
that I rake them on, and then I dragged the
tarp into the woods.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That's what landscapers do.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, well, you may want to check on the legality
of that. I don't know if that might be frowned
upon because the woods are not your property.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Okay, okay, I'm just saying I went for this, mister lawyer.
I went through this in Lindfield. You can't blow that's
what that's their home. I'm putting the leaves in their home.
I'm just saying, check. When did you get some sort
of a citation or Okay, well, you know what, I'm
not going to blow leaves today. I'm just gonna go home,
take a nap. Leave the leaves alone. It says it
(01:56):
right in it, leave all right, I have alone.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Just to burn the leaves. That's the worst.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well, kid. It smelled so nice.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I think you have to get a special permit in
different towns to be able.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
For that to burn them. Yeah, have you ever burned them?
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Nor?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I never have. I do have a fire pit, but
it's very small. Yeah, it would take a lot long time.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
LISTA you have a late night? Did you just pull
in from Hartford this morning?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You know almost we weren't done in Harper for Alisa's
book Club with Jeff Benedict from the Dynasty book and
the Apple TV doc, yet we were. We were with him,
he got He is such a great storyteller. I mean
I could just listen to him forever. He just has
so many great fly on the wall stories from being
embedded with the Patriots for several years writing his book.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, on this show, he was great.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
He's so great.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And then we asked him about Bill Belichick and what
his thoughts on on what's going on with Bill?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
And yeah, he don want to know what's going on
with Jordan. Does he have any thought?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
She said that that wasn't the story.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
That the real story is that no NFL team picked
him up, and there were teams like the Titans who
ended up taking somebody that you know, no one knew,
and you know there were a lot of the there's
a lot going on there, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What he said. No one wanted to deal with Bill. Nope, No,
sounds like us some days and yesterday, you know what
to say.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I skipp right over that anyway, But it was the
drive was great, ninety five to seven, our sister station,
A wonderful group of people down there, Courtney and Savannah.
So we did the interview and yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
We're back, We're back from Hartford.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Yeah, so yesterday, and.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I want to thank ninety plus sellers because they sponsored it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, you always want to thank the people providing the one.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Ninety plus sellers doesn't mean Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So yesterday, as we were saying goodbye the very last
break of the show, yesterday we had late breaking news.
And the late breaking news was this massive FBI investigation
into the FBI and excuse me, the La Cosa Nostra.
(04:02):
I didn't even know that mob still existed, that's the original.
But after we left with the breaking news, the story exploded.
Yeah I did, I mean it blew up big time.
Oh yeah. Thirty people arrested, including three former Celtic players,
one of which is a current coach of the Trailblazers,
(04:25):
one of which is.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
A current play Yeah, and I think it's going to
get bigger.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think so too.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I said to Billy yesterday.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You never want the FBI to show up at your
house in one of those battering rams.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, No, first you get the.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
It's the FBI, and you're like, oh.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Sometimes you don't. Sometimes you don't get that though. Sometimes
they just come in hundreds. But if they're just coming in,
there's the blunt sound.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Of the battering rams the door, which basically took your
front door off its hinges.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Yeah, and you're in bed. Imagine this is how you're
waking up.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
They don't mess around.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And then you get out of bed, and what's the
first thing you do. I mean, I'm not experienced with this,
but you're gonna walk over to the window and look
outside and see what's going on. And you're seeing SWAT
trucks and dozens of guys in helmets and masks and
rifles like machine guns, and you're still sleeping.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That all wake out exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Every time you see the swat trucks. You know, the
Fox trucks still black.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Yeah, you know you're it's a platoon of like agents
walking behind the swat truck right because they're afraid of
oncoming gunfire. Like, and then your neighbors are like, it's
going on at Bob's house.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It looks like airport.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You're going you're doing the purple walk. Oh yeah, your
purple Yeah.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
They have like the alien lights outside your house.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You have to put some boxes on when you get
out of bed. You'll never forget this moment.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
Everybody in the house is up and Noddy's downstairs, right,
and then send my house the house.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Now, I'm bringing it to your house because your yard
and property is so big.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
They're gonna be coming out of the wood woods like
the hands.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
They're gonna use the trails that I built as a roadmap,
and they're gonna roll right over the chicken head the
hen house.
Speaker 7 (06:37):
Yeah, Like those trucks don't stop, they're coming in.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
The chickens will be flying everywhere from.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
The planet Fitness Kiss One Away Studios. We're back with
Billy and Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, we're back. So you know, when you do a
live morning radio show like the Billy and Lisa Morning Show,
there's really nothing like a big buzz story and boy,
do we have one this morning? A massive two year
investigation into illegal sports betting, fixing games, faking injury, sharing
(07:13):
inside information. Thirty people arrested, including three former Celtics players.
The scandal involving the NBA and the mafia. The FBI
had this message yesterday. My message to the defendants who've
been rounded up today is this, your winning streak has ended.
(07:34):
Your luck has run out. And now we go to
WBZTV sports guy Levin Reid. He is live on the phone, Levin,
I'm not lying. This is a big buzz story.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I would say this when I got a chance to
hear everything was breaking yesterday. The buzzword when we've always
heard the words organized crime. But the FBI directed to
tell and he threwn mafia. It kind of stopped me
in my track and he mentioned organized crime family and
I was like, Okay, what is happening? And I didn't know.
And as you go through it, the one thing I
think we all thought was, Wow, the NBA has got
(08:08):
a huge problem because obviously these are three players and
they were all doing multiple different things to kind of
gamble and make sure the game was whether it be
rigged or not rigged or let so the betters know
that something else was going on. And maybe we all thought,
when you know, when they started legalized gambling and better,
(08:28):
that something like this would happen. But nobody knew that
it would be so wide ranging, or maybe they didn't
know and we were just naive to it. But this
was crazy yesterday eleven.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Why just see NBA.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
It's not just the NBA. I think for what this
was telling us is that it could go on all
over the place. It can go on everywhere. I just
think they why they focus on the NBA because I
just think it's easier to do. You have only twelve
to fourteen players that are on the bench and only
maybe eight or nine that play, so it's easier for
(09:01):
you to say, Okay, this guy at least for a guy.
People who are doing the investigation, they can say, this
guy is the guy that's making some of the problems here,
instead of you know, we're not looking at Will Campbell
on the offensive line and saying I don't want to
put his name out there with this thing an offensive line,
then making a mistake and letting a guy go through.
It was very easy to do point shaving, as they've
done in the past, and it seems like the NBA
(09:22):
has always been whether it be with Tim donaghye and
the refereeing. Now we have players and coaches, they're always
in front and center when it comes to gambling and
just illegal, illegal things that just to help the game
get along and help the betterest kind of profit.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, ironically, it seems like recently we've been seeing more
stories involving refs and or empires, and.
Speaker 9 (09:46):
I think for all of us it's a reason why
when we watch games, when we're looking for flags and
when we're looking for something. What's the first thing that
everybody said this game at sixth Because every game.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Everybody's talking about it. Here's some of what you had
to say yesterday.
Speaker 10 (10:01):
I'm ashamed that that those guys will put their families
and their careers in jeopardy like that. There's old saying
in the hood. All money ain't good money. So if
you're making nine million dollars and you're dealing a certain
things like how much how much more do you need?
Especially especially if you know you get caught, you can
do jail time, lose your career, you know, put and put,
(10:24):
you know, put put a bad image on yourself. Or
your family or on the NBA they dropped.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The ball and Levin, here's someone what Stephen A. Smith
had to say.
Speaker 11 (10:31):
Yes, gloracity and the substance of the case itself. That
has to be determined and that has to bear out,
and we have to keep our eyes and ears to
the to the grind about that to decipher you know
how significant this is. But there's no question that it's serious.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
So Levin, you think it's going to spread to other sports?
Speaker 9 (10:54):
I think I think the one thing that was taking
when I listened to all of that little one, I
think I don't know if I think it's I don't
know if it's not already going on in other sports.
So I can't say if it's going to spread or not.
I would be naive to say that it's not going on.
But if you listen to the conversation that they had
with FBI Director Patel when he said that, and when
we all understand that Terry Rozier he was brought up
(11:15):
on an NBA investigation a couple of years ago and
they took his phone and then they just let him go.
So in my mind, when I read all of that stuff,
I thought, well, this is because of that, maybe the
NBA was was on it and the FBI was like, no, no, no,
no no. We've been working on this for a long
time away from this what you mentioned, because we need
(11:37):
to get finish this story.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You mentioned Terry Rozier justin had a video montage earlier
this morning that somebody dropped overnight last night, and god,
some of the things he was doing on the court
were really obvious. He was throwing games like the games like.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
He's grabbing an ankle, he's moving this way, he's faking
injuries on the side. It was weird to watch. And
again like but if you're not looking for it, you
don't you don't think about it. But when you when
this is brought into you know, to the forefront, you're
thinking to yourself, Oh my god, what is that all about.
It's it's a It was. It was a bombshell. It
(12:14):
was a bombshell to watch this all kind of unravel
yesterday in front of our eyes.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And we haven't even talked about the Polker side of it,
like all the machines and everything with the X rays,
looking at the cards from the underside. When about you
to start learning how many people lost so much money.
Speaker 9 (12:32):
I felt like we were watching like Ocean's eleven Yes,
and they were describing it. I was like, oh, they
were like cameras underneath the tables. I'm like, I've heard
of that, and camel's in the card dishes. I was like,
I know about that. I'm like, how how far reaching
were they for that? All these players and were losing
tens and millions of dollars man, you know, and and
(12:52):
and again through different types of crime families that were involved.
And again I felt it felt strange for him for
them to mention crime families and then throw out the
family's means. I was like, oh, like, it was such
a weird thing that we because again we're not watching
Good Fellas. This was on a Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Levin I thought the same thing they said, Lacas nostra,
I said that still exists.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
I literally was again, I would have walked by the
television if they said and you know, organized crime families.
When you said mafia cosha, you said the Gambino family.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I'm like, oh, man, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (13:31):
These guys walking around with Derby hats and tiny cigars
And I'm like, oh boy, we got trouble now, Levin,
thank you so much for coming on.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
We can watch you on WBZ TV.
Speaker 9 (13:41):
You guys can real quick. You guys can have me anytime.
I feel weird that I was done the first time
I'm on the show. We're talking about gambling, So you
can have me on if you want to talk about
like you know, like tell a stript. I know nothing
about it, but you can still have me on.

Entertainment Report continues, So how about this Stranger Thing series
finale's going to drop on Netflix and Hit movie theaters
on the same day, New Year's Eve, and then it'll
happen on New Year's Day as well. Quickly Kimba Kardashian
on season seven, the premiere of The Kardashian says she
(20:38):
has a brain aneurysm.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
There's like a little aneurysm. Whoa. They're like, just stress,
and I'm like, why are the this is happening.
Speaker 17 (20:46):
I always felt really bad and always protected and always
like wanted to help, and this was the first time
I didn't feel that responsibility personally.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Should have stuck it out.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I could have helped, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Well, as it happens, as many as seven million people
in the US have them, and they say it's very
common in women.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
But I didn't know that it was caused by stress.
That's my question.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
It doesn't necessarily have to be stressed, Okay, but I
guess Kim's got a lot of stress in her life.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
And she Kanye West, Yeah, that was a big stressor.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Anyway, We're brought to you by Dover rugg at Home.

the rugs, and then they'll put them in a truck
and bring them right to your house so you can
check them out on the floors you want to have
them on. This way, it all works, you know what
I'm saying. Go to Dover Rugnatic Boston Burlington or doverrug
dot com and there you go. Oh Holly.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
As a police officer myself, we don't stop people going
through a quote unquote yellow light.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
Well, Billian Lisa kiss one a way, Hey.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Guys, it's Poller in Boston.
Speaker 14 (21:55):
I got a good topic for you. Do you have
any Uber horror stories from an Uber ride?
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Last night?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
We went to assembly and we got this horrible Uber driver.
Speaker 14 (22:06):
He got us back to Ever in three minutes, speeding
through traffic.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I saw my life flashed before my eyes.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Road rage, high beaming, people cutting people off, same any good.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Any thing worse than that is when they drive too slow.
First of all, I want to be very careful. We
love Uber drivers less drivers, and we have a lot
of them listening every morning. But everybody's got a little
pet peeve. It's not necessarily the driver's fault. It's just
they are who they are and we are who we are.
I think they use too many scented trees.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Well, Also, you know, if you're an Uber driver and
you're listening to this segment, which a lot of them do,
that are out of the roads right now, you can
hear what people have to say.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Maybe make some adjustments. Okay, you know, back off on
the scented trees.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Okay again, we love our Uber and left driver, we
love them.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
One tree is fine, one scented tree. But sometimes they'll
have them on every air freshen air, the house in
the back hanging down.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It becomes too much, too much.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Yeah, I have I just have a general question about
Uber and Lyft drivers. Sometimes I've been in their cars
and they're on the phone the entire time, and I'm
always wondering, like, who are they talking to?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Probably the Uber office, Yeah, you know, they're probably giving
them their next trip.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, they're on the phone the entire trip.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
No, I get the impression the house calls a lot.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Oh, like what's going on?
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Yeah, tell them what's going on? The kids are getting
ready that because I mean you know, I mean they're.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
In the car all day, You're right, and they're on
and sometimes overnight too.
Speaker 10 (23:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
I always think they're talking to you know, if they
have family in another country, yep, you know those different
time zones. Yeah, yeah, they'll be talking to them. But yeah,
the center tree, that the smell thing, if it's too much,
can be overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Oh, you have to open the window.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Yeah, and then you know, if they talk a lot,
maybe you're not in the mood to be so chatty.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I love when you get into a lift and say
that you need something very fast, so you get like
the the higher level once in a while. Oh yeah,
like just once in a while, and they have the
little bottles of water.
Speaker 14 (24:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Now I try to go with the black car as
much as I can. Well, okay, Michelle, on the other
hid don't.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I don't, but I'm saying I had to once recently
because I had to get somewhere quick and that was
that was the one of that was available in like
one minute, and it was like so it was like, oh,
this is.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
So cool, it's luxury. I only took a black car
one time because of Bill. I went to his boat
and he ordered me an uber and it was a
black car and I was like, so this is how
Bill lives. I will say this.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Michelle is the opposite of me, as you know. And
the problem is she's the one that usually orders the
Uber or the lyft, and one time, like she finds
the cheapest possible level of uber. Okay, on oh, I
don't even know what it is. But all I know
and I'm not even making this up. One time she
ordered the car. The car pulled up at Charlestown Marine,
a number one marina in the world by the way,
(24:59):
pulls up. It was missing the front quarter. The car
was missing the entire right front quarter. And it pulled up.
And I didn't say anything. I just looked at Michelle
and I said, really, did you hop in? And you
know what's weird is you know we were going to
like a restaurant. You know, we had to pull right
(25:21):
up in front of the restaurant. I had him pull
over like two blocks in the restaurant. I didn't want
to be seen getting out of the car.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Well, you know, missing a quarter, did you have to
respect the hustle?
Speaker 17 (25:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
He was right? Oh yeah, he was all in What
seat care he lost the quarter somewhere and whatever, leave
it there, just keep driving.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
So I have a horror story, not about uber but
about taxis because I drove a taxi. Oh when I
was younger, my father got me a job driving for
a local you know, cab company. Yeah, And so one
time I picked up a passenger and from Malden Station
and we were driving, and I was not in my
(26:00):
right mind, obviously, and I ended up getting into an
accident and crashed into a tree. And then you know,
he was okay and I was okay. I don't really remember,
but I apparently I crashed and then I got out
and just just ran home and you left.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
You left the customer and the the in the taxi
and took off, and he's like pinned up against the tree.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
So obviously, you know, they came to get me, and
they cuffed me and they arrested me. They brought me
into court, and I just remember that the judge or
the DA was reading like the facts of the case
man and the guy. The guy gave a witness report
that I was driving and I had rap music playing
so loud that he was trying to talk to me
(26:42):
and say, hey, can you can you slow down a
little bit, But I was like botting my head to
the music and I must have just not been paying attention.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
H God.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
That was the end of my, uh my taxi career.
So no more.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Hey, guys, what Lisa was saying about them being on
the phone. My horror story is I got into an uber.
The guy was on his phone and I just happened
to say, excuse me because I had to say something.
He puts his hand up and says I'm speaking, rolls
his eyes and just ignores me. It was very intense.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Again, that's a rare incident. Okay. We love our Uber
and the drivers, although we'd love to hear from them.
I know a lot of them are listening to this show.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
One other little thing that happens every once in a
while when you're traveling, right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
You order the Uber. Sometimes it's very early in the morning, it's.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Still dark out, and once in a while I'll notice
they won't even get out of the car and you
handle your own luggage like there's no helping, Like, and
you've got like four giant suitcases.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
You're going somewhere, you know far. And it rarely happens,
but sometimes I'm like, how about that. He never even
got out of the car to say hello. I don't
think they're supposed to, right, Oh, they always do.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Oh they always help me, the Uber driver.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Oh yeah, I get right out and they start taking
the luggage and you slip into the back seat.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, wow, Bill, you had to load your own luggage.
You pour through.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
I'm just saying it happens once in a little baby,
just saying you want a good tip, you know, at
least come out of the car and acknowledge, you know,
Can I help you with that?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
I'll even say no, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Maybe they're not supposed to, or maybe it's not part
of the deal.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
No time, I'm gonnaut Oh okay, just saying, so, did
that affect their tip? Is the question?
Speaker 5 (28:35):
No, you still tipped? Yeah, Oh you're a sucker. It
didn't affect this. So it didn't affect their tip?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
He's yeah. I mean because they're working so damn hard
they do it in the morning.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
You wanted an uber black a few years back to
get to a wedding.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was supposed to be a brand new Denali.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
The guys showed up with a early two thousands pickup.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Truck with a would rack on the back and a couple.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
On the what was on the roof a canoe.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I gotta respect that. I love that guy.
Speaker 8 (29:09):
Now it's topic time for the Billy and Lisa in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
We're having a conversation here this morning about uber drivers. Now,
I want to be clear, these are not complaints. These
are more like curiosities. The uber drivers, and let's go
to the phones first. And Katie, you're calling from Wellesley.
You have an uber a story for us?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I do.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
My husband is an uber driver good and he absolutely
hates drunk women because he says they're really really loud
and obnoxious. And he's had like a couple of people,
men in particular, proposition him for sex.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I'm sorry, it's your husband like a strikingly handsome dude.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I think he is, but I don't know what other
people think.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
So let me get this. So guys get in the
backseat of his uber and come on to him. Yes, ah,
that's so cool. Did he ever bring anybody home?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
No, he hasn't brought anybody home.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
A good story, Yeah, I like that one. That's a
good start. Thank you Katie for the call from beautiful Wellesley.
Let's go to BC and Wallfam. Good morning, BC, Good
morning guys.
Speaker 15 (30:19):
Thanks taking the call. So I'm not strikingly handsome like
the last callers husband. I'm on Chicago about two weeks ago.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
For a conference.
Speaker 15 (30:28):
So I happened to be about six to two, maybe
like three hundred and ten pounds, And of course the
uber pulls up. The uber is a like a PRIs.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
You know.
Speaker 15 (30:35):
Of course, the driver happens to be about the same
size as me, but about two feet shorter, and she
has the seat so far back that she's literally looking
like ball the eyeball with me.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
So I'm like, God, there is going to be a
long ride.
Speaker 15 (30:49):
So the ride from where I was to you know
O'Hare was about an hour and forty five minutes.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
Oh god, the first.
Speaker 15 (30:57):
Words out of this woman's mouth now, I'm married with
two kids, could play hockey, the whole thing, like, we're
always like running crazy. And the first word out of
the slavey's mouth is, you know, my husband's not acting
right at home. I'm like, oh no, I can't wait.
I hear this at home a lot. I can't just
seven minutesa it was an interesting ride, to say the least.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Wait a minute, she said, what, my husband's not home
right now?
Speaker 15 (31:19):
Just no, just not acting right at home. And I'm like, oh, lady,
please don't do this to me.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
For an hour and.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Forty five minutes, so she wanted to chat.
Speaker 15 (31:28):
Oh no, she's saying he was not acting rightly. She
wanted to complain about her husband precisely a lot of
the same things we were doing at home myself, so
you know, wasn't a great ride for me for sure?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, hour in forty five minutes. Boy, all right, thanks
for the call. BC. Let's go to Hillary. Hillary is
in Newton. Good morning, Hillary, Good morning.
Speaker 16 (31:50):
So I had I tend to chat a lot with
Uber drivers and we were just chatting about life, and she.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Asked if I was married, if I he wasn't coming
on to me, but you know, I said no, and
he was.
Speaker 13 (32:05):
Like, oh, well you can't be happy, and I was like,
I'm very happy.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
And he called me a liar.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
He said, you're a liar.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Confrontational car.
Speaker 8 (32:17):
He called me a liar, and then I was gotten
out of the car.
Speaker 16 (32:21):
But we were on the highway and when we got
to where I was going, he was like, well I
have someone I could.
Speaker 13 (32:26):
Set you off with.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh god, I'm.
Speaker 16 (32:29):
So happy I had something to say. I was like, well,
if he's anything like you, I'm not interested.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
And I thought that was a car.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Yeah, Hillary, can will you ask you a question? Are
you happy right now?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm very happy, liar.
Speaker 5 (32:46):
Let's go to Jordan. We're getting a lot of calls.
Good morning, Jordan, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
How are you guys?
Speaker 13 (32:51):
Doing today.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
We're great, go ahead.
Speaker 16 (32:54):
So I have an uberstory. I was with my cousins
in Nashville celebrating one of their twenty first birthday and
we got in the Suber and while we were driving,
there was a ton of traffic and the.
Speaker 13 (33:07):
Uber driver was driving really crazy, like stop and go
really fast. Like I was like, oh my gosh, we're
going to get into an accident, and sure enough, he
hit the person in front of us. While we're in
the car. Everyone's okay, thank god, but it was it
was just like a fender bender and he started to
drive away, and I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
My gosh, wait a minute, it was a hit and run.
Speaker 13 (33:28):
Yes, he was gonnait and run with us in the car.
I was when you got to pull the car over,
and we ended up he ended up pulling over. But
it was the weirdest thing I've ever I've ever encountered
it an Uber.
Speaker 16 (33:38):
It was so crazy.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, maybe his license was expired or something and he
didn't want to get involved. But good one. I like
that one. Nashville's kind of a crazy place.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Hey do you guys ever fill out that little survey
when you book the Uber where they ask you if
you want air conditioning or heating?
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Or do you want to talk or not talk? They
actually ask you those questions. I have seen it. I've
never filled it out me either.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Yeah. Yeah, if you don't want someone that's gonna speak
to you.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, it's just too involved. Just bring the car.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
Yeah, so they have an option? Do they have an
option for like helping with luggage?
Speaker 3 (34:09):
I haven't seen that, but it's usually time based, right,
It's always like which car is going to get here
the quickest?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
I know where he's going with the luggage thing. Poor Bill,
you know they didn't help with the luggage. You didn't
like it. This is land overdriver for the luggage. I
only help ladies and old people. I don't help young
men because even if you do that, they don't did well,
Bill's not necessarily a spring chicken, Okay, but why do
(34:37):
we have to go there? All that matters is he
thought I was a young man. He did, yes, and
he still got tipped regardless. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
I mean it's just it's curiosity, I say, are not complaints.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
They're curiosity. Is like, why do most immediately get out
of the car and help you with the luggage, and
then some just sit there and say, yeah, you're on
your own.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
I just picture Billy, right, Lisa, you know, dragt his luggage,
putting it in.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Looking at the guy, yeah, giving him the eyeball.
Speaker 14 (35:04):
This guy who I didn't scammed by a lift driver
when I was in LA two years ago. This guy
said he was a lift driver, but he really wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
He had one of those signs in his car.
Speaker 14 (35:12):
I didn't book it through the app. I was with
my brother two in the morning. I just wanted to
get back to the hotel, and he ended up picking
my MX card, giving me back someone else's MX card
and went on a shopping spree overnight, cracked up my
MX card thousands of dollars worth of charges.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
I was scammed, Wicks. That happened to me. Remember somebody
scammed my MX card. Suddenly I had two hundred Uber
charges within four days on my AMEX and we had
a filet with MX. The weird thing about it, MX
paid for it, you know, because they knew it was
a hack. But they denied Michelle and Uber from then
(35:50):
on like she did something wrong, like she was and
I have to use left level or I have to
book the ubernow, which means we're booking the book.
Speaker 5 (35:59):
Oh right, so she's banned from Uber from the app, yeah,
and it's because we were victims of fraud credit card fraud.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
And yet they canceled Michelle's Uber account. Well, let's go
to Todd in line one. Need him, Hey Todd, what's up? Hey,
guys love the show.
Speaker 12 (36:15):
We were in Silly about a year ago, and we
left an hour early to go to seventy six ers game.
The hotel was maybe fifteen minutes away, so we'd have
a ton of time to explore the arena. After about
twenty minutes, we look on the Uber driver's map and
it says arrival times thirty minutes. And we said to me,
are you going the right way? Said, oh yeah, I'm fine,
Novas area. I know ways better than Uber does, better
(36:36):
than Ways does. And you know, next thing we know,
we're crossing a bridge and we're like, isn't that in
New Jersey? And we've had tell us you know, you
were not in a great place, So what's across the bridge?
We said, do us a favorite? Can we just get
out here? You let us out there, and within about
five seconds, the Uber app said, it looks like you've
departed early from your vehicle, would you like another one?
(36:59):
And yep, they sent another car. We got there just
on time. But wow, yeah, no idea where he was
taking it.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
But I will say Uber is a very well run organization,
as is Lyft. Can you remember when we didn't have Uber.
You had an incredible invention.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I know Uber left.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Imagine being an early investor into Uber. Yeah, and Kutcher
was an early investor.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
It was if someone would tell you that you would
hop into a stranger's car and take off, you'd be like, no,
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
But we all do it, and you order it and
it's there in like four minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:34):
We were taught as kids, don't talk to strangers, don't
get in people's car, right, And that's exactly what we do,
and that's.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
What we do every single day.
Speaker 8 (37:41):
So I had a friend that took an Uber to
head to work and the Uber driver ends up getting
into an accident.
Speaker 5 (37:50):
They get out of the car and the Uber driver goes,
I wasn't driving.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
You were driving, And my friend was like, uh, no,
you were driving.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
And though he was extremely intoxicated, got arrested on the spot.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Yeah you're not driving. From the back seat, no, no,
you know, you just can't drive from the back seat
and he'll never be an Uber driver again. Yeah, which
is sad, and it's sad. They make decent money. I mean,
it's all about how much you work. It's a hustle.
Speaker 10 (38:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:20):
My wife's two uncles have a side job doing ubering.
Make a lot of money. They make good money. Oh hustle,
you know, as a second job.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
So good morning, it's the Mayor of the South.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Then I'm taking a walk.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
It's chilly out.
Speaker 11 (38:33):
I had to go get my Mega Million's ticket because
it's worth seven hundred million.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
You know, could you rerun my Uber story?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Remember when I opened.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
The back seat of the Uber and there was a
big dildo on the seat.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
That was a good one.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
You know. We tried to forget that story, mister mayor,
but yeah, that was back in April. How can we
forget Yeah day, thank you,
