Wow, best morning show in Boston.

Billy and Lisa in the morning. It's just a great
start to my day on kids.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well, now, good morning, everybody. Welcome in. It's the Billy
and Lisa Morning Show. It is a Wednesday morning. Lisa
has another day off till you know, she took a
few days off, well deserved. We miss her. But she's
coming back, trust me on that. But Gianna is still
in Lisa's seat, and and Justin we were just talking
off the air. Then you know this better than anybody else.
(00:29):
Traditionally on Wednesday morning, I always have a frog in
my throat. Oh yes, and yet I'm frogless this particular Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And you know what's crazy. I have a frog.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Ah, I got a little frog in my throat.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But Shanna gave me a hot tip. In the event
I get a frog in my throat? What do I
do with Janna?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You have to do a lip trill.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
How can you not? Just like a motor boat, I
can't here, I can't do and we don't have big
enough lips.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, I can't do that, but I do have a
little bit of a something. But yeah, Wednesdays are Billy's Day, Gianna.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
All right, good morning, it is Wednesday. Excuse me, okay,
got a little Yeah, how do you in the middle
of a conversation? How do you pull that up on
the screen. That's shocking to me.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't know, but I'm upset that I have the
frog and you don't. So yeah, well you know what
it is. It's probably the cold. It's very, very cold cold.
Oh my god, it's cold.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Everyone's calling her Joanna now every comment everything.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, my Instagram people are like Joanna.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah. I love it. It's like everywhere Riley goes. She's
producer Riley. So when you come on this show, you
get a name that sticks. Yeah, just be thankful. It's
(01:58):
just Joanna. It could be worse.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Oh yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Hey we could see the government open up today. Wow.
That would be nice, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Finally you see the trend.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh my god, boy, you've got more than a frauds
got like a python in your goodness.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I have to go home.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No, you've got to learn how to lip trill and
do it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Again, trill it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If you have a beverage with a straw, you can
also blow bubbles. And I only know this because I
went to speech therapy.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
What was wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I have a pull up on my vocal cord from
yappin too much, which is why I'm a little rasmore.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Shut the hell up once in a while, it doesn't hurt.
I mean, God, Hey, power Ball tonight six hundred and
twelve million, and the Mega Million's Friday is nine hundred
and sixty five million. We're not doing it, Gianna, You're
not here. But we had this tradition where we would
each equally buy two quick picks and then we share
(02:59):
in the jackpot. And the last two times we were
doing it as a group, I was the only one
that bought the tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I forget.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I forget.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
That could be a dilemma. What if I had won
and they did not participate because you were supposed to
show your tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I wouldn't have shared.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Really, No, Oh, how pissed would you if you went
from a chunk to nothing? How pissed would Lisa be
if she went from a massive chunk to nothing? Well,
a rule is a rule. You didn't buy in? You
still clearing your throat out.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, I'm having some issues here with the voice.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Big day for Pats fans today, a big day for Gronk.
He signs that one year deal which allows him to
retire as a Patriot. That's a pretty big deal. And
this I love John Taffer from Bar Rescue. He was
in the studio once before people went nuts. Everybody loves
this guy.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I was just watching Bar Rescue last night.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
No way, sam My brother is a huge fan.
Speaker 4 (03:57):

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, I'm telling him come in. He's welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
All He's got to be at his best.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What do you come here to do every day? Because
this can't be your result, This can't be you at
your best. Please tell me just like you you're best. Yeah, Drake,
if you're coming in, man, you better be at your best.
All right, Tapper's gonna shake you down.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios, We're
back with A Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, I'm Billy and I'm here and Lisa's got the
day off again today. But Gianna is sitting in Lisa's chair.
Good to see you again.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Gee, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I like that one Joel Joanna.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'll never hear that song the same, oh man So.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Joe Bieber's wife Hayley and a GQ interview, talks about
selling her cosmetics company Road for one billion dollars.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I always said that I would never sell the company
unless it was a billion dollars. I was very determined
that I wouldn't do it for anything under that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But I think undred million is good, but a billion
is like, that's a fun.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I was just like, it's going to be this or
I'm not doing that was my like goal. But of course,
like when you hear that, it's it's a real thing
and the number is real, and that's a real situation
being put in.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Front of you.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
It's definitely like whoa, Okay, it's it's it's very cool.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Think about that for a minute, A billion or nothing?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Uh, Gianna?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Can I ask you, as a female before she sold it?
Were you a fan of the line, did it sell?
Did your friends use it?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So it was like viral on TikTok okay and I
want to the products I asked for them last Christmas
and got them and they made it made my skin
break out really bad. But but I use her lip
peptide daily. I just bought another one like this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So people do use it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
People use it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But again, her billion dollar products made you break out.
It's dead pimples all over your face.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I literally have scars. You can see them right now.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh my god, they're still there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's a billion dollar.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Dollar Meantime, her husband Justin has been posting videos from
his Coachella rehearsals. Yesterday, Haley was in the studio lying
on the couch under a blanket, and Justin suddenly got
up out of his chair and started singing to Haley,
wait up for.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Your suit is up?
Speaker 9 (06:53):
That gave back way and he saw that Casey get
a small and he saw that can'sye gain a small?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, that's the song all I can take. It's from
his new album. And by the way, if my wife
Michelle hit for a billion I'd sing to her every day.
I'm not sure she'd want to hear it, but I mean,
you know what, you got to step it up.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I'm something jealous of them that I can sing like that,
you know, I can't even talk, like, do I just
go home? I?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Can I have a way on with you?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't know, I get something A cough drop.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I need more than a cough drop anyway. Justin also
rehearsed the song Daisy's for Coachella.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Check it out, Demi Albee better still get the messes
instead of a line.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
It's just three days. But I could connect him if
he didn't.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
You know, I respect He's a jam if you need something.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And by the way, Daisy's number one on mine and
Justin's kiss top thirty countdown for five weeks, just shy
of six weeks.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Wow, just come on, Justin, I'm done?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What is going to be heard from me again today?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Meantime? Justin jumped on the drums for some go baby.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
So Crioma shooder, discerning me, Cryoma shooed when heavy you
need you better believe that I can hold all the
week shoot me inside.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It wasn't much drumming on the song. You can tell.
He was just kind of tapping old baby on the
high hat with a snare drama. Couple of time you
basically fell right collapsed around. Justin Bieber wants cheek.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I did kiss when I Wait's jingle Ball in twenty twelve.
I was there as a Bieber fever girl Kiss want
to Wait listener and begged my father for meet and greet.
That's when you could get meet and greets back then.
I met Justin Bieber and fell to the floor after crying, hyperventilating.
(09:06):
I think someone that worked here and I don't know
who it was, like, can you get up? Like really
really sad.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And embarrassing for the entire company.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
It was the best day of my life, though.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Did you say it was twenty twelve?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Twenty twelve?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
This was justin backstage at twenty twelve at jingle I
got to tell you there are a lot of people
outside waiting for you. They've been waiting all days, since
very early this morning. But you're used to that, right.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
It's crazy. I'm so blessed to have so many great fans.
My fans are incredible, and you know, it's it's great
to just see see how far I've I've come, and
they they they're still by my side, They're still waiting
outside for hours and just it's it's great. So I
always make sure that I go outside and show them
love and sign autographs and take pictures and you know,
do as much as I can for them.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Justin, thank you so much, thank you. Back to jingle Ball,
welcome back to Boston.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
Thank you so much, joined the city if you get pleasure,
so much.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Thank you guys. I love you so While all that
is going on, Gianna's at his feet, drooling and slobbering,
and he wasn't even paying attention to his number one fan.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Let's do you one better. Let's take you back to
two thousand and nine. Justin, a little kid from Canada
had just signed with Scooter Braun. How did the Usher
thing happen?
Speaker 12 (10:18):
The Usher thing? I was like twelve years old and
I thought I'd enter a same competition for fun. I
wanted to put the videos on YouTube for my friends
and family that couldn't be there, so posted the videos
on YouTube. I got found by this guy named Scooter,
who brought me to Atlanta and introduced me to some
people and ended up meeting Usher. I didn't get to
sing for him. I was really upset, so I ended
up going back to Canada. And then a week later
(10:40):
I get a call saying Usher wants to.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Meet with me.
Speaker 12 (10:43):
He's still my videos on YouTube. So I ended up
going to meet with him and he wanted to sign me.
But then a week later, Justin Timberlake also wanted to
sign me, so it was kind of like they both.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Wanted to sign me.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And any regrets, No, not at all. It's going pretty well.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, it's going really well.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Did you ever talk to Justin Timberlake.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I haven't talked to him.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
God, I would think i'd give you a call and say, hey,
by the way, congratulations. No hard feelings.
Speaker 12 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean I never really like and I didn't
have a relationship with him. I just had a meeting
with him, but like, he's a really nice guy. I
guess to like hang out watch March Madness with him.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh yeah, oh cool.
Speaker 13 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Scooter Brown became a little bit of a regret.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, just a little guess what Bill though?
Speaker 13 (11:21):
I was?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I was there as well?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
You were there? What a baby carriage?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I think I was like ten or eleven. I was
in the front row. And Justin Bieber was one of
the first acts to go on at jingle Ball that year,
and he had a broken leg.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
How old were you in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And nine eleven, twelve eleven or twelve.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh my god, for you?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, careful not Justin. So imagine your dad was already
connected back then. He had you in the front row exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I bagged and begged and begged, and I.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Was there, all right, don't forget. Justin's freaking out over there,
just speaking. And Justin Bieber's a Brina Carpenter co hosting
Coachella nixt to April. There you go. I can't wait,
Justin you okay? Have you tried a glass of water?
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Like?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
At least it's getting worse. I'm losing my voice.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
It's kind of like a vibe you think you think so? Actually,
maybe not?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I could bring ai Justin?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
No, No, like this, don't you have a gallon of
water next to you?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Just start drinking electrolyts.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, so much for the electrolytes.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He's chugging.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Wow a whole ship, would you?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Brother?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Oh he's still going king all right?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Hold on, let me say, oh, oh does that sound
a little better?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well that's much better. So you're gott drink your electrolytes?
Why do you bring them in if you're going to
ignore them?
Speaker 3 (12:45):
All right? I got them here oh.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
God, Billy and Lisa all the morning and we have
a Turkey Toss alert, a Turkey Toss alert. Apparently there
are a few slots still open for Turkey Toss this year.
Every year, it's a tradition on the Morning Show. Every year.
We do it the Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving. We have
high schools from all over New England sign up. They
(13:09):
come in and they compete and you have a shot
at winning the Turkey Toss. And there are a lot
of football players in high school that would say they'd
rather win Turkey Toss than their actual Turkey Day game.
I'm just saying it's a big event. We've got cheerleaders
in marching bands and school buses and crowds of kids.
It's awesome. And they throw a frozen bird into the air.
Gianna is so tiny, I could launch her as the turkey.
(13:32):
Well it so happens. Gianna is the turkey. Yeah, Turkey Toss.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I am the turkey probably I would. You know, I
wouldn't mind being launched in the air. That could be fun.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Okay, you just putting it out there. Yeah what not,
Hey Drake, she's looking to be launched. But here's the deal.
You still have time to sign up. You've got to
do it really fast. You just go to Kiss Oneaway
dot com slash Turkey Toss, and you will need permission
from the front office. It used to be just fly
(14:04):
by the city of your pants thing and just come
in you compete, but there are rules now, so you
have to be signed up at your front office at
school and so that they give it to go ahead
and we'll see you with turkey toss again. Kiss Runaway
dot com slash Turkey Toss.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I could eat a whole turkey right now.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
That's Evil Ai Justin. Yeah, this happened before my voice
went out. Yeah, so then you know evil Evil Justin
came out.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Going on.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I don't know. I need some honey, a teaspoon of something.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Was yesterday Chess day for you or something? Maybe it's
strained something in your vocal cords.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
No, it did not work out yesterday.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Do you have a neck day?
Speaker 3 (14:44):

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Have my traps.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I could use them.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
His traps are strangling his vocal cords.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, I don't think that has to do with working out.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well, a lot of your neck has to do with
your vocal cords.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
When I again in speech therapy, I learned that you
have to do next stretches as well.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I love next stretches.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It's my kids going to a trampoline park. That's what
it is.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
It's because you get a scream at them all night.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
No, it's just it's full of disease and sickness. A
million kids running around. I call it strap throat city.
There's just nothing but sickness.
Speaker 2 (15:29):

radio station?
Speaker 4 (15:38):

the coldest November in history? Oh yeah, it is coldest
coldest November since the Romans, Uh and Caesar and Cleopatra.
(17:01):
And like, I'm like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Johnny got to tell the truth, and I said, we.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Got to research it. And we research it. Not only
is there not not the coldest November, but it's not
even one of the coldest November.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
It was sixty like a few days ago.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I've been waking up at three o'clock. I'm not I'm
not used to it. My brain's not used to it.
And I'm trying to show for up and help out.
And I saw a headline that said the coldest Novembers
from starting at nineteen five.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You said, anyway, it's cold. It's okay, it's cold cold,
Yes it is. We've got a pair of jingle ball
tickets for Colle twenty five right now, six one, seven night.
And the keyword is going to be frog. I can
do it. Justin has a big frog in.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Good morning. It's the Mayor of the South.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Then, poor Justin.
Speaker 14 (17:55):
Billy said, you sounded like you had a python down
your throat.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I had a python on my throat last weekend.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
And I feel great.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I'll be here all morning, silly Ladisa.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Now the entertainment with Billy hotstad On just one wait.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh boy, that doesn't say good morning, thanks, mister Dane.
I feel better, Okay, serious story. Jimmy Kimmels, a longtime
friend longtime bandleader Cleto Escabido died this week at just
fifty nine years old. He addressed it in the monologue
(18:33):
last night.
Speaker 15 (18:34):
We've been on the air for almost twenty three years,
and I've had to do some hard monologues along the way.
But this will this one's a hardness because late last
night early this morning, we lost someone very special who
was much.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Too young to go.
Speaker 15 (18:50):
And I'd like to tell you about him, if you
don't mind me.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
His name is Kleito, but we all told him to. Yeah,
Kimmel and Cleto go way back to when they were
just nine years old. They lived across the street from
each other. In the nineties, Cleto toured with Paula Abdul
with Mark Anthony. In two thousand and three, Kimmel brought
(19:16):
Cleto on the house band, so he's been the house
band since two thousand and three. Kimbo had some old
stories to share last night.
Speaker 15 (19:24):
Alito was the leader growing up, I was the sidekick.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
He was the star.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
Cleto played saxophone. I played clarinet. That's kind of all
you need to know about it. When I was a
local DJ at a junkie little radio station in Palm Springs.
Cleto was on stage playing the twenty thousand people. And
then a few years went by and our rules reversed.
It was my show, my name was on everything. I was,
all of a sudden the star. And a lot of
(19:48):
people who have a huge amount of talent would have
a problem with that. Cleito never did, not a twinge
of jealousy, envy, passive aggressiveness, none of that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Ever, the opposite.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
He was proud of me, He loved me.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He she loved.
Speaker 15 (20:01):
Seeing all of this happen. We'd be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
As kids, they used to stay up late and watch
David Letterman. Yeah, because their dream was to be on
late night. Yeah, and they made it happen.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Really sad Cletok fifty nine years old, So sad. Breaking
news this morning. Sabrina Carpenter has another gig. She's going
to start in and produce a musical movie based or
inspired by Alice in Wonderland. You have any other good
on this one? Gee.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
A lot of people on social media are debating whether
or not she's going to play Alice because knowing Sabrina,
you know she's a little out there the thinking she
might even be the mad Hatters or like the cheshire
Cat or something.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, quite a week. She picked up six Grammy nominations.
Earlier this week, oh TMZ caught up with AJ from
the Backstreet Boys at the airport. The Backstreet Boys are
heading back to the Sphere in Vegas. AJ was asked
who they would most like to have joined them at
the Sphere.
Speaker 16 (21:00):
I don't know if she'd ever do it, but I
think Taylor would absolutely destroy it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Cour she's a fan of you.
Speaker 16 (21:07):
She is a fan, and we're a massive fan of hers.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I mean, she's the sweetest.
Speaker 16 (21:10):
She's been so kind to my my daughter's anytime they've
had a chance.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Can you know, hang out and you know, meet her
at her show.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
She's just the best.
Speaker 16 (21:17):

Yeah, that's that's what everybody's.
Speaker 17 (21:55):
Saying, is the Hi, Justin.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
I used to suffer with the whole throat issue, and
I find gargling with hot water in salt really helps.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And you can do that in the studio.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I do not have salt none.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's no sense.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's got to be some of the business about down
in the kitchen, down the cafeteria.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
All right, I'll check it out.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah. Meantime, Justin Bieber, we mentioned this earlier, was posting

Speaker 3 (23:24):
That's a good it's a jam.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Well, if you're listening, you had to see gian and
producer Riley both dance in the minute we hit that song.
So that's gonna be a giant hip. Let's get a
jingle Ball winner. I mean, Olivia Dean's coming. Why not
call her twenty five and caller twenty five? Is you Stacey?

Okay, hold on. The new Eddie Murphy documentary Being Eddie
drops on Netflix today. He was on Kimmel last night
talking about it.
Speaker 19 (24:39):
Uh, you know, the documentary started off. I wasn't even
thinking people gonna be coming in the house and stuff
like that. The documentary when we started doing it, it
was supposed to be like, Okay, I'm gonna go back
and do stand up and we're gonna we're gonna monit.
We're gonna go and document all the steps getting back
to the stage again. And then it turned into this
thing where people will come because the pandemic hit and
(25:00):
it's we stopped and people then we could only do interviews,
you know, at the house with camera up. It was
nobody around and it kind of happened like we didn't
plan for it to happen the way it happened.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
All right, I'm looking forward to that, think about it.
Eddie Murphy goes way.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Back, way way back.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Was Saturday Night Live his first gig.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
He was definitely early on that, I mean early cast
member on Saturday Night Live. But the story with Eddie,
he was the stand up king and then he like
went away from stand up, you know what I mean.
And he made a bunch of movies, but he is
the king of stand up.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
What was the movie you did with Arsenio Hall.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Coming to America?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:38):
What about him being Donkey in Shrek? Hello? One of
my favorite movies is how could.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I have missed that he was Donkey in Shrek? For
God's sakes? Come on now, No, He's been in a
lot of movie.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, oh my god, so many.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah. Documentary drops two day and we're brought to you

only way I want my beef. Mm, slow simmered baby.
So grab the friends, grab the family, grab the entire neighborhood,

Speaker 19 (26:23):
There you go, Hey, justin, you need a tea spown
of honey with some lemon Lisa kiss.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
So there's a chance we could see the government to
reopen at some point today. So everybody's got their fingers crossed.
And let's face it, Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
And Gianna, you were on TikTok last night you found
something interesting about Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, I was scrolling away and I saw this video
of a lady explaining a text that she got from
her daughter in law and it was nine rules the
daughter in law was giving to the entire family for
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
So for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, oh, I got to hear this.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
My daughter in law just sent the Christmas rules VRS
follows one. No gifts that make noise, contain sugar, or
require any batteries. Number two, all wrapping paper must be
neutral tone. No Santa faces. That's overstimulating for the children.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I hate this already, No Santa.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
It has me neutral wrapping paper, and now they want
to control the wrapping paper that you're wrapping the gifts in.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh boy, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Number three. If you bring a dish label all ingredients,
list any aldergens, and note emotional intentions. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Who is this woman?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Johna some lady?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh it was her daughter in law that wrote the
list when she posted a list. Oh so she's roasting
our daughta correct her daughter a law.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And it's like everyone in the comments was like, this
is the only time I'll agree with someone's mother, right, okay.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Number four refer from comparing Christmas pass they're creating new
traditions and don't want to blur are passed with their present.
Number five. No photos unless everyone can sents, signs and
approves the lighting.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Number six.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
No questions about politics, religion, or how you're doing emotionally.
Number seven.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Don't question how you're doing emotionally. You can't you can't
have a conversation about your life.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Now you have to be a robot.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
So far, I think politics is the big ones.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The big one, that's the big one is down.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Yeah, children on what kind of cookies that they loved? Santa,
he gets kale and water for aniration. Right, be prepared
to leave promptly at eleven thirty.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Hold on, Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Santa gets kale in water in water, not cookies and milk.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
No one is going to this woman's house for holidays.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I would have blocked her. I would have blocked her,
but you blocked on every platform.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
An hour and a half is ample time to celebrate.
And finally, number nine, all the cars must be parked
facing four forward because the HOA demands symmetry. Well, I'll
be spreading my holiday cheer courtesy of Jim Beam and check.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
What's the HOA. That's probably at condo. If you have
a condo, Yeah, you know the hoa.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
They have rules.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, yeah, so your car has to be parked facing forward.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I mean I can understand that one.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
If they have rules where you live, you know, I
understand that you have neighbors, But some of these other things,
it's just absolutely crazy, insane.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I think family members should rise up and someone should
say I'll do the holidays, yeah, and don't invite her.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Right what everyone else responded? I would love to know.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, it's just it's just so controlling. It takes the
fun right out of it. The holidays are supposed to
be fun.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, but let's face it, the holidays do traditionally bring
family drama. Oh yeah, oh every family I mean crazy.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
It starts with where we're having the holidays. Who house
we're going to. That's always the first big issue. You know,
we had it at that house last year. We got
to have it here, and then like you know, we're
gonna go, We decide on a place, and then one
person complains it becomes a whole fiasco.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's the initial argument.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
How about the one if he's going, I'm not coming,
Oh my god. Yeah, such a project because a lot
of people in the family, the extended family, haven't spoken
for years. Yeah, they may have had an argument like
twenty years ago. They're still holding a grudge. So that
person's not allowed, right.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Right, Uncle Mark is whoever is posting on Facebook crazy stuff? Yes,
there's always a crazy social there's always a fighting on
social media all the time.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
So Jihanna, what do you do for the holidays.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
My family's a little different because I have two sides.
I have my mom's side in my dad's side because
they're not together right, So I always get really stressed
out because I try to satisfy both sides. I have
to go to one go to the other especially, and
then Thanksgiving always falls around my birthday, so both sides
like to have a cake. So I'm always like, Okay,
(31:02):
I need to get to my mom's at this time,
and then I need to go back to my dad's
house at this age.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Oh and then who had the better cake?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Who is?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And this and that.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's like and I'm so thankful to have, you know,
two sides of the family. And now that I have
my boyfriend Jake, his side lives in New Jersey. So
that's a whole other outlayer that we have to figure
out this year.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's another thing with the extended family. Sometimes you have
to go visit one that's in New Jersey to day
with the one here. And for years I did Christmas
Eve at my house when I was raising my family
in Lynnfield, Big I just invited everybody, everybody from the neighborhood,
the whole extended family, everybody, and then nobody's complaining. You know,
if you don't like him, go to another part of
(31:41):
the house. Yeah, God, leave each other alone. Okay, what
do you do now? Last year was the first year
that my son, Chris Chris Costa, took over Christmas Eve
and it was awesome. He and Hannah, his wife, had
the family Christmas, which is my birthday, and they like
(32:02):
to make it. I hope they don't make a deal
about it anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
But yeah, Johanna, did you know Billy's birthday is Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I did.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
It's the forgotten birthday.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
It's good for us because we can rope two gifts
into one. So your one gift is his Christmas present
and his Birthday gift.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's a nice way of putting it. Really, Thank God,
I could save you a couple of time.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I'm just being honest. That's how it is. Yeah. The
other issue when it comes to to get together is
during the holidays is alcohol. Yes, you know, there's always
somebody or multiple people that get too drunk. There's always
an outburst. Does that happen in your any of your families?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You don't even know. And it also ties into politics,
because that's the only rule that I could agree with
that this girl on because you mix alcohol and politics.
My family, a lot of people think the complete opposite.
They have different views.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
So you have a divide in your.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I have a divide in my family on my mom's side.
And one year it resulted in you know, I think
things were thrown, somebody mooned, somebody.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh yeah, well that's always a celebratory thing.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I'm not gonna say what relative. It's funny now, but
I was trying to traumatize me as a child, and
it was all over politics, and they had some liquor justin.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I gotta tell you a funny story about my brother. Okay,
he lived down in Sarasota, Florida, And so my niece, Gina,
who works for iHeart in New York, the headquarters. You've
got a big gig. She's a liberal and my dad
is hardcore conservative.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Your brother.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah, So whenever she brings the kids to visit my
brother down in Sarasota, she has to stay in the
guest bedroom and my brother intentionally has a giant framed
picture of President Truma in the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Disaster.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Disaster.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's so divisive and it takes all
the fund right out of the family, let me tell you.
Speaker 17 (33:49):
Yeah, oh man, and the chaos of having families that
are sort of I don't want to say broken, but
there's a lot of separations in my family. So one
of my cousins just stepped up and said, you know what,
We're gonna all get together on December sixth, So we
have a random Saturday Christmas with everyone that can make it.
(34:12):
And it just makes holidays easier.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yes, I love that. Why not you get out of
the way early.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Leave it alone. Yeah, it's Christmas.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I start feeling festive when we go on vacation, like,
you know, a few days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, then I stop getting festive, right fair, But.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I'm seeing the Christmas decorations everywhere already.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
They're all of my houses.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Are lit up in houses around me.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
And yeah, how about this, Okay, I want to take
a glimpse into my house. My crazy wife, she she
decorates the whole house in Christmas. She buys a brand
new bath mats and shower curtains that are green to
go along with the theme. So I walk in the
bathroom and there's a green shower curt It is hideous, hideous,
(34:59):
and look at it. I go, why would she buy that?
And then later on she walks in and goes, why
did I buy that curtain?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
It's hideous? Why would I do that?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
And she won't stop talking about it the whole day,
this hideous why would you buy it?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Well, you get caught up with everything when you're out
during the holidays. You're leading up to the hall as
you in.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
When you go to like a TJ Max or somewhere,
I think they pump things into the air that hypnotize
you and.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You just start buying.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, and then you black out. Because I've had moments
like that, I'm like, I actually really buy that.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah, I remember that. She does that all the time.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Now we have to get a new Santa for the
porch because the Santa got decapitated last year. The head
came off and we had to glue the head back
on and now the head's like not staying, so we have.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
To buy it outside the elements.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
So I had it time down to the porch.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Hey, I got you a Christmas tree this year?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
You did?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah? At all?
Speaker 20 (35:49):
Mad at one of the Wayfair properties.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, it's a little tree.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
So now it's topic time with the Billy and Lisa
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, Mariah Carey said it. Yes, it's time for the holidays.
It starts with Thanksgiving, it takes us through Christmas in
New Years, and let's face it, it creates a lot of
family drama. And we had a list of some people
who are issuing rules. Now, if you're coming to the
house for the holidays, John, my.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Daughter lad just sent the Christmas Rules VRS. Follows one.
No gifts that make noise, contain sugar, or require any batteries.
Number two, all wrapping paper must be neutral tone. No
Santa faces that's overstimulating for the children. Number three if
you bring a dish label all ingredients, list any allergens,
(36:41):
and no emotional intentions. Interesting. Number four refer from comparing
Christmas past. They're creating new traditions and don't want to
blur our past with their present. Number five, no photos
unless everyone consents, signs and approved the lighting.
Speaker 21 (37:02):
I don't know who this woman is that made this
crazy Christmas list of things you can't do at the
Christmas party, but it reminds me of this documentary I
saw years ago, called the Grinch who Stole Christmas.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
That's so true.
Speaker 22 (37:15):
I'm calling BS on that email. I don't think anybody
could possibly be that obnoxious. I think they asked chat
GPT to find the most obnoxious rules that people have
around holidays and put them all in one email, because
I think if somebody really was that obnoxious, there's no
(37:36):
way that somebody else would have wanted to marry them
and pro create.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Let's go to Dave calling in from Belmont. Good morning, Dave,
your thoughts on the holidays?
Speaker 10 (37:48):
Good morning.
Speaker 9 (37:49):
I had to laugh, Gianna, you are so spot on
about home goods.
Speaker 12 (37:53):
I walked in there this weekend to buy one item.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
It was a toothbrush, and sixty five dollars later and
an hour of my time, Oh yeah, two baskets full
of Christmas.
Speaker 23 (38:04):
I probably have a green curtain in there too that
I don't even know that I need.
Speaker 14 (38:08):
I mean, I was, I don't know what came over me.
Speaker 16 (38:11):
I couldn't stop buying stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, it's like you get possessed in there by some
sort of home goods demon?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Is this home goods?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Home goods?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Do you know what I bought from Home Goods one time,
sparkly hand chairs, giant giant hand chairs, you know, chairs
in the shape of a literal.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Hand Okay, yeah, all right, and.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
They were disco.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
They were Disco designed and you bought them. You have
them still.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Correct, they're in a storage unit.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I gotta tell you it's happened to me at home Goods.
I was in Florida once and we walked into Home Goods.
I left with furniture like it's crazy, Like you say, hey,
look at that outdoor furniture.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
What you're saying that's my conspiracy theory and I'm sticking
to it.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No, there's something there too.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
My wife's the same thing, you know, that thing with
the j shawaker and the green one that she hates.
That's not the first time. She just buys things and
then complains about them after. Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 14 (39:07):
This is why I think Friendsgiving is so popular, because
nobody wants to spend five hours with crazy Uncle Bob,
but everyone wants to spend time with their friends, people
they're choosing to spend the holidays with. So I'm hosting
my first ever friends giving. It's gonna be a dessert
party this year, and super excited for that.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I love that, Gianna. You seem like a friends giving girl.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I just started doing it last year, and I do
it the day before Thanksgiving because thank goodness, my friends
and I don't really have responsibilities to prepare for Thanksgiving
the next day. And we did the whole let's go
out in our hometown and it was in Revere, and
I got really sick and tired of that real quick.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Oh, I thought you're gonna say you got beat up.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I almost beat somebody up.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is a big go out
on the town kind of a night right. You meet
old friends even and from high school, from college and
all that it is.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
And like not to toot my own horn. But I
started like not being able to get into bars in Revere,
and I was like, what am I doing waiting in
a line?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Can I ask you something? I think? Do you think?
And be honest, do you think? In my family I'm
the one no one wants to be around.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Yeah, well they talk about you behind your back. Who's
gonna take Uncle Billy?
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Really already?
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah? Oh yeah I know that for a fact.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Oh no, my son, Chris, that's sharing with you.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
I can't say who it is, but they love you daily.
But you're a huge pain in the ass well because
you criticize every holiday.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
You don't eat the food.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You complain about the food, the gluttony that everybody's eating.
You know, he thinks that every holiday Gianna is about
food and he hates it.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Nobody wants to gorge geat regardless of the holiday, it's
all around giant, multiple plates of food. You know what,
I'm going to spend the holidays with Johanna's dad, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
We were just talking off the air about how Billy
wants to hang out with Eddie.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah too.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah, yeah, we are a new best friend.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah, he was great.
Speaker 8 (41:03):
The biggest issue every year at Christmas is the Yankee Swap.
It's been going on for over fifteen years and every
year the rules need to be repeated. People fight over
the rules, People fight over gifts. Somebody always brings an
extra gift which throws off all the numbers. We have
(41:25):
to give out numbers eighty five times. So yeah, the
Yankee swap is always eventful.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
I'm glad you brought that up. Me too, that's a
big issue.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
The best is when they because you can steal other
people's gifts. Yeah, it's like everybody wants the Dunks card
or the Starbucks card. Yes, you know, and they're like,
some little kid will get it and the mom will
be so happy, and then then the older guy will
steal the card from the kid.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Yeah, big drama.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
No, nothing causes more drama and arguments and hate than
the Yankee swap.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah, we do one too.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
About these stupid gifts and you want the one you
want and then somebody walks up and just takes it
from you toward the end of the game. You thought
you had it.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah, and it' supposed to be a fun thing.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
What are the people that complain and cry about the
gift they got, like they want, you know, they got
something they didn't like and now they're upset, sulking in
the corner.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Or when they make the price above twenty or twenty
five dollars.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Yeah I hate that.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, all opped out, it's twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Or if they set the price and the one person
comes in having spent two hundred.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Yeah, yeah, they overdo it. The overdoer. Oh that's a
good one right there. Let's go to Katie and.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Woover on line one.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Hey, Katie, Good morning. What have you got for the holidays?
Speaker 13 (42:30):
Good morning. We got some family cananigans going on. I'm
talking like, you know, the holidays are just like cuckoo
because I have to I'm not married, so and I
don't have kids, so I just have to tolerate, you know,
the kids, the dogs. It's just craziness. I would like
to skip over it. I think I actually welcome actually
(42:51):
Gianna to the show. You add a good piece of
a little Lisa to the show.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
And I love you, thank you, I love you back.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
I appreciate that unit.
Speaker 13 (43:03):
I can totally relate to her, even though I'm twenty
years older. That just like you know, I just come
and don't have to bring anything to Thanksging, but I
have to kind of be like the babysitters last dogs
that are because it's just like craziness.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Yeah, they're shoving the dogs and the kids off on
you because you don't have anything.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Let's go to Paula next. Paula.
Speaker 20 (43:23):
You're on the air as we say, Paula. Oh, Paula,
Paula called back. She got disconnected. It's all good, good.
She had a good Yankee swap one so oh, call back.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Paula.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
So, my mom has hosted Christmas Eve every single year
for the past twenty seven years.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
She has three sisters.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
For some reason, her and her sisters decided to have
a conversation about what's going to happen when her parents,
who lived down in Florida passed away. Now, one of
my aunts was very drunk, and needless to say that,
I ended with everybody screaming at each other and all
of the cousins hysterically.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Wow, I've been there.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
They start speculating about death. Well, you know, Joe and
Mary down there in Florida, what are we going to
do once they die?
Speaker 4 (44:11):
The clock's ticking on them, So we got to stop
planning ahead for the future.
Speaker 18 (44:16):
I don't have a family, so never had to deal
with any big family holiday events or anything like that.
But got married a couple of years ago to a
guy whose family is half Italian.
Speaker 22 (44:28):
Half Irish, and one alcoholics.
Speaker 18 (44:31):
So to say that family holiday events are traumatic would
be a bit of an understatement. I literally got whiplash
from the drama the first year.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
So yeah, fun part alcoholic. Oh we got Paula back. Paula,
you're back, give us your story.
Speaker 24 (44:52):
Oh, we have this god awful, hideous ulog that's been
going around our family for years. It's this this ceramic,
big ceramic, gold and all different colored yule log. It's hideous,
and people shake boxes do everything. Is sometimes a picture
(45:13):
in a small box that you got the yule log,
and everybody screams when you know, it's just a madhouse
when the Yankee swaps.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Got But what purpose does the U log serve?
Speaker 24 (45:27):
None at all? You hide it until next year because
no one can figure out who got it last year.
Who's bringing in the box or the bag going to
get that U log because no one remembers who's got
it the year before.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
So a sad holiday tradition. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
I mean, if the yule log makes somebody that happy,
it's all.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
About the one thing nobody wants.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
I guess, can I ask a question? I got, what's
a yule log?
Speaker 1 (45:57):
I don't know. That's why I said, what's its purpose?
I would saying like they keep things in it?
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I guess ulog is a cake. That's what I see.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah, that's what I thought it.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
That's what I thought it was. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
I passed the U log around. It's a cake.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
I guess let's go to Laurie online too. She's got
a good Yankee Swap store.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Here, right, Laurie, let's go Yankee swap. Come on, give
us some good stuff.
Speaker 23 (46:20):
So I agree with you. Yankee swap you get all
different ages, different people, whatever. So what we did is
now we have themes. So every year you let someone
know prior what the theme is, what the dollar value is.
For example, like one year you had to buy stuff
from a thrift shop and it couldn't be more than
fifteen dollars. And then when you opened it up, like
(46:42):
you had to wear it, you had to put it on.
So it made it more fun and it wasn't more
about it was more about fun than getting like the
best gift. Another time it was like a grocery store.
You had to go in the grocery store and buy
something under ten dollars. And so it was just a
theme and it just took the what do you get
for all ages kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
So all due respect, this sounds like absolutely I.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Love that one.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
One.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
I guess how many Yankee swaps do I have this year?
I think I have at least one usually have a
couple like two or three every year.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
I only had one in my life, and thank god
it's over. It stopped like two years ago.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
We do it every year.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
My friends Brian and Mitzi would have it.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Did it go Okay?
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Beautiful night, lobster dinners, that it comes from love and
North end Over And then the Yankee swap came. You
knew you weren't going to see some of these people
ever again. After the Yankee swaps, the arguments got so deep.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
Yeah, I love this conversation all from that stupid list
from that woman on TikTok about the things, all from
the stupid list, that list of.
Speaker 17 (47:50):
Rules for holidays.
Speaker 5 (47:52):
If I was in her family, I would break every
single one of those and then some and show up
and have a blast.
Wow, best morning show in Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning. It's just a great
start to my day on kids.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Well, now, good morning, everybody. Welcome in. It's the Billy
and Lisa Morning Show. It is a Wednesday morning. Lisa
has another day off till you know, she took a
few days off, well deserved. We miss her. But she's
coming back, trust me on that. But Gianna is still
in Lisa's seat, and and Justin we were just talking
off the air. Then you know this better than anybody else.
(00:29):
Traditionally on Wednesday morning, I always have a frog in
my throat. Oh yes, and yet I'm frogless this particular Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And you know what's crazy. I have a frog.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Ah, I got a little frog in my throat.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
But Shanna gave me a hot tip. In the event
I get a frog in my throat? What do I
do with Janna?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You have to do a lip trill.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So I can't do that.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
How can you not? Just like a motor boat, I
can't here, I can't do and we don't have big
enough lips.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah, I can't do that, but I do have a
little bit of a something. But yeah, Wednesdays are Billy's Day, Gianna.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
All right, good morning, it is Wednesday. Excuse me, okay,
got a little Yeah, how do you in the middle
of a conversation? How do you pull that up on
the screen. That's shocking to me.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't know, but I'm upset that I have the
frog and you don't. So yeah, well you know what
it is. It's probably the cold. It's very, very cold cold.
Oh my god, it's cold.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Everyone's calling her Joanna now every comment everything.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, my Instagram people are like Joanna.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah. I love it. It's like everywhere Riley goes. She's
producer Riley. So when you come on this show, you
get a name that sticks. Yeah, just be thankful. It's
(01:58):
just Joanna. It could be worse.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Oh yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Hey we could see the government open up today. Wow.
That would be nice, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Finally you see the trend.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Oh my god, boy, you've got more than a frauds
got like a python in your goodness.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I have to go home.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No, you've got to learn how to lip trill and
do it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Again, trill it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I can't do that.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
If you have a beverage with a straw, you can
also blow bubbles. And I only know this because I
went to speech therapy.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
What was wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I have a pull up on my vocal cord from
yappin too much, which is why I'm a little rasmore.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Shut the hell up once in a while, it doesn't hurt.
I mean, God, Hey, power Ball tonight six hundred and
twelve million, and the Mega Million's Friday is nine hundred
and sixty five million. We're not doing it, Gianna, You're
not here. But we had this tradition where we would
each equally buy two quick picks and then we share
(02:59):
in the jackpot. And the last two times we were
doing it as a group, I was the only one
that bought the tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I forget.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I forget.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
That could be a dilemma. What if I had won
and they did not participate because you were supposed to
show your tickets.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I wouldn't have shared.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Really, No, Oh, how pissed would you if you went
from a chunk to nothing? How pissed would Lisa be
if she went from a massive chunk to nothing? Well,
a rule is a rule. You didn't buy in? You
still clearing your throat out.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, I'm having some issues here with the voice.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Big day for Pats fans today, a big day for Gronk.
He signs that one year deal which allows him to
retire as a Patriot. That's a pretty big deal. And
this I love John Taffer from Bar Rescue. He was
in the studio once before people went nuts. Everybody loves
this guy.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I was just watching Bar Rescue last night.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
No way, sam My brother is a huge fan.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, he hasked to come in and meet him to

Speaker 1 (04:02):

Speaker 5 (04:10):

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, I'm telling him come in. He's welcome.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
All He's got to be at his best.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
What do you come here to do every day? Because
this can't be your result, This can't be you at
your best. Please tell me just like you you're best. Yeah, Drake,
if you're coming in, man, you better be at your best.
All right, Tapper's gonna shake you down.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios, We're
back with A Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Well, I'm Billy and I'm here and Lisa's got the
day off again today. But Gianna is sitting in Lisa's chair.
Good to see you again.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Gee, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I like that one Joel Joanna.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'll never hear that song the same, oh man So.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Joe Bieber's wife Hayley and a GQ interview, talks about
selling her cosmetics company Road for one billion dollars.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
I always said that I would never sell the company
unless it was a billion dollars. I was very determined
that I wouldn't do it for anything under that.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But I think undred million is good, but a billion
is like, that's a fun.
Speaker 7 (05:25):
I was just like, it's going to be this or
I'm not doing that was my like goal. But of course,
like when you hear that, it's it's a real thing
and the number is real, and that's a real situation
being put in.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Front of you.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
It's definitely like whoa, Okay, it's it's it's very cool.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Think about that for a minute, A billion or nothing?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Uh, Gianna?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Can I ask you, as a female before she sold it?
Were you a fan of the line, did it sell?
Did your friends use it?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So it was like viral on TikTok okay and I
want to the products I asked for them last Christmas
and got them and they made it made my skin
break out really bad. But but I use her lip
peptide daily. I just bought another one like this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
So people do use it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
People use it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
But again, her billion dollar products made you break out.
It's dead pimples all over your face.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I literally have scars. You can see them right now.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh my god, they're still there.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
It's a billion dollar.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Dollar Meantime, her husband Justin has been posting videos from
his Coachella rehearsals. Yesterday, Haley was in the studio lying
on the couch under a blanket, and Justin suddenly got
up out of his chair and started singing to Haley,
wait up for.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
Your suit is up?
Speaker 9 (06:53):
That gave back way and he saw that Casey get
a small and he saw that can'sye gain a small?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, that's the song all I can take. It's from
his new album. And by the way, if my wife
Michelle hit for a billion I'd sing to her every day.
I'm not sure she'd want to hear it, but I mean,
you know what, you got to step it up.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
I'm something jealous of them that I can sing like that,
you know, I can't even talk, like, do I just
go home? I?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Can I have a way on with you?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I don't know, I get something A cough drop.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I need more than a cough drop anyway. Justin also
rehearsed the song Daisy's for Coachella.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Check it out, Demi Albee better still get the messes
instead of a line.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
It's just three days. But I could connect him if
he didn't.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
You know, I respect He's a jam if you need something.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
And by the way, Daisy's number one on mine and
Justin's kiss top thirty countdown for five weeks, just shy
of six weeks.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Wow, just come on, Justin, I'm done?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
What is going to be heard from me again today?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Meantime? Justin jumped on the drums for some go baby.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
So Crioma shooder, discerning me, Cryoma shooed when heavy you
need you better believe that I can hold all the
week shoot me inside.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It wasn't much drumming on the song. You can tell.
He was just kind of tapping old baby on the
high hat with a snare drama. Couple of time you
basically fell right collapsed around. Justin Bieber wants cheek.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I did kiss when I Wait's jingle Ball in twenty twelve.
I was there as a Bieber fever girl Kiss want
to Wait listener and begged my father for meet and greet.
That's when you could get meet and greets back then.
I met Justin Bieber and fell to the floor after crying, hyperventilating.
(09:06):
I think someone that worked here and I don't know
who it was, like, can you get up? Like really
really sad.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And embarrassing for the entire company.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
It was the best day of my life, though.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Did you say it was twenty twelve?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Twenty twelve?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
This was justin backstage at twenty twelve at jingle I
got to tell you there are a lot of people
outside waiting for you. They've been waiting all days, since
very early this morning. But you're used to that, right.
Speaker 11 (09:27):
It's crazy. I'm so blessed to have so many great fans.
My fans are incredible, and you know, it's it's great
to just see see how far I've I've come, and
they they they're still by my side, They're still waiting
outside for hours and just it's it's great. So I
always make sure that I go outside and show them
love and sign autographs and take pictures and you know,
do as much as I can for them.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Justin, thank you so much, thank you. Back to jingle Ball,
welcome back to Boston.
Speaker 11 (09:51):
Thank you so much, joined the city if you get pleasure,
so much.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Thank you guys. I love you so While all that
is going on, Gianna's at his feet, drooling and slobbering,
and he wasn't even paying attention to his number one fan.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Let's do you one better. Let's take you back to
two thousand and nine. Justin, a little kid from Canada
had just signed with Scooter Braun. How did the Usher
thing happen?
Speaker 12 (10:18):
The Usher thing? I was like twelve years old and
I thought I'd enter a same competition for fun. I
wanted to put the videos on YouTube for my friends
and family that couldn't be there, so posted the videos
on YouTube. I got found by this guy named Scooter,
who brought me to Atlanta and introduced me to some
people and ended up meeting Usher. I didn't get to
sing for him. I was really upset, so I ended
up going back to Canada. And then a week later
(10:40):
I get a call saying Usher wants to.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Meet with me.
Speaker 12 (10:43):
He's still my videos on YouTube. So I ended up
going to meet with him and he wanted to sign me.
But then a week later, Justin Timberlake also wanted to
sign me, so it was kind of like they both.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Wanted to sign me.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And any regrets, No, not at all. It's going pretty well.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, it's going really well.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Did you ever talk to Justin Timberlake.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I haven't talked to him.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
God, I would think i'd give you a call and say, hey,
by the way, congratulations. No hard feelings.
Speaker 12 (11:04):
Yeah, I mean I never really like and I didn't
have a relationship with him. I just had a meeting
with him, but like, he's a really nice guy. I
guess to like hang out watch March Madness with him.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh yeah, oh cool.
Speaker 13 (11:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Scooter Brown became a little bit of a regret.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, just a little guess what Bill though?
Speaker 13 (11:21):
I was?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
I was there as well?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
You were there? What a baby carriage?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I think I was like ten or eleven. I was
in the front row. And Justin Bieber was one of
the first acts to go on at jingle Ball that year,
and he had a broken leg.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
How old were you in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And nine eleven, twelve eleven or twelve.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh my god, for you?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, careful not Justin. So imagine your dad was already
connected back then. He had you in the front row exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
I bagged and begged and begged, and I.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Was there, all right, don't forget. Justin's freaking out over there,
just speaking. And Justin Bieber's a Brina Carpenter co hosting
Coachella nixt to April. There you go. I can't wait,
Justin you okay? Have you tried a glass of water?
Speaker 5 (12:08):

Speaker 1 (12:47):
God, Billy and Lisa all the morning and we have
a Turkey Toss alert, a Turkey Toss alert. Apparently there
are a few slots still open for Turkey Toss this year.
Every year, it's a tradition on the Morning Show. Every year.
We do it the Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving. We have
high schools from all over New England sign up. They
(13:09):
come in and they compete and you have a shot
at winning the Turkey Toss. And there are a lot
of football players in high school that would say they'd
rather win Turkey Toss than their actual Turkey Day game.
I'm just saying it's a big event. We've got cheerleaders
in marching bands and school buses and crowds of kids.
It's awesome. And they throw a frozen bird into the air.
Gianna is so tiny, I could launch her as the turkey.
(13:32):
Well it so happens. Gianna is the turkey. Yeah, Turkey Toss.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I am the turkey probably I would. You know, I
wouldn't mind being launched in the air. That could be fun.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Okay, you just putting it out there. Yeah what not,
Hey Drake, she's looking to be launched. But here's the deal.
You still have time to sign up. You've got to
do it really fast. You just go to Kiss Oneaway
dot com slash Turkey Toss, and you will need permission
from the front office. It used to be just fly
(14:04):
by the city of your pants thing and just come
in you compete, but there are rules now, so you
have to be signed up at your front office at
school and so that they give it to go ahead
and we'll see you with turkey toss again. Kiss Runaway
dot com slash Turkey Toss.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I could eat a whole turkey right now.
Speaker 4 (14:22):

His traps are strangling his vocal cords.
Speaker 3 (15:01):

your vocal cords.

the coldest November in history? Oh yeah, it is coldest
coldest November since the Romans, Uh and Caesar and Cleopatra.

And like, I'm like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Johnny got to tell the truth, and I said, we.

Got to research it. And we research it. Not only
is there not not the coldest November, but it's not

Speaker 3 (17:14):
It was sixty like a few days ago.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I've been waking up at three o'clock. I'm not I'm
not used to it. My brain's not used to it.
And I'm trying to show for up and help out.
And I saw a headline that said the coldest Novembers

Speaker 1 (17:33):
You said, anyway, it's cold. It's okay, it's cold cold,
Yes it is. We've got a pair of jingle ball

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Good morning. It's the Mayor of the South.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Then, poor Justin.
Speaker 14 (17:55):
Billy said, you sounded like you had a python down
your throat.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Oh boy, that doesn't say good morning, thanks, mister Dane.
I feel better, Okay, serious story. Jimmy Kimmels, a longtime
friend longtime bandleader Cleto Escabido died this week at just
fifty nine years old. He addressed it in the monologue
(18:33):
last night.
Speaker 15 (18:34):
We've been on the air for almost twenty three years,
and I've had to do some hard monologues along the way.
But this will this one's a hardness because late last
night early this morning, we lost someone very special who
was much.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Too young to go.
Speaker 15 (18:50):
And I'd like to tell you about him, if you
don't mind me.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
His name is Kleito, but we all told him to. Yeah,
Kimmel and Cleto go way back to when they were
just nine years old. They lived across the street from
each other. In the nineties, Cleto toured with Paula Abdul
with Mark Anthony. In two thousand and three, Kimmel brought
(19:16):
Cleto on the house band, so he's been the house
band since two thousand and three. Kimbo had some old
stories to share last night.
Speaker 15 (19:24):
Alito was the leader growing up, I was the sidekick.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
He was the star.
Speaker 15 (19:28):
Cleto played saxophone. I played clarinet. That's kind of all
you need to know about it. When I was a
local DJ at a junkie little radio station in Palm Springs.
Cleto was on stage playing the twenty thousand people. And
then a few years went by and our rules reversed.
It was my show, my name was on everything. I was,
all of a sudden the star. And a lot of
(19:48):
people who have a huge amount of talent would have
a problem with that. Cleito never did, not a twinge
of jealousy, envy, passive aggressiveness, none of that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Ever, the opposite.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
He was proud of me, He loved me.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He she loved.
Speaker 15 (20:01):
Seeing all of this happen. We'd be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
As kids, they used to stay up late and watch
David Letterman. Yeah, because their dream was to be on
late night. Yeah, and they made it happen.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Really sad Cletok fifty nine years old, So sad. Breaking
news this morning. Sabrina Carpenter has another gig. She's going
to start in and produce a musical movie based or
inspired by Alice in Wonderland. You have any other good
on this one? Gee.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
A lot of people on social media are debating whether
or not she's going to play Alice because knowing Sabrina,
you know she's a little out there the thinking she
might even be the mad Hatters or like the cheshire
Cat or something.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Well, quite a week. She picked up six Grammy nominations.
Earlier this week, oh TMZ caught up with AJ from
the Backstreet Boys at the airport. The Backstreet Boys are
heading back to the Sphere in Vegas. AJ was asked
who they would most like to have joined them at
the Sphere.
Speaker 16 (21:00):
I don't know if she'd ever do it, but I
think Taylor would absolutely destroy it.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Cour she's a fan of you.
Speaker 16 (21:07):
She is a fan, and we're a massive fan of hers.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I mean, she's the sweetest.
Speaker 16 (21:10):
She's been so kind to my my daughter's anytime they've
had a chance.
Speaker 1 (21:14):

at her show.
Speaker 3 (21:16):

Speaker 17 (21:55):
Saying, is the Hi, Justin.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
I used to suffer with the whole throat issue, and
I find gargling with hot water in salt really helps.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
And you can do that in the studio.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I do not have salt none.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's no sense.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
It's got to be some of the business about down
in the kitchen, down the cafeteria.

All right, I'll check it out.
Speaker 1 (22:15):

talking about it.
Speaker 19 (24:39):
Uh, you know, the documentary started off. I wasn't even
thinking people gonna be coming in the house and stuff
like that. The documentary when we started doing it, it
was supposed to be like, Okay, I'm gonna go back
and do stand up and we're gonna we're gonna monit.
We're gonna go and document all the steps getting back
to the stage again. And then it turned into this
thing where people will come because the pandemic hit and
(25:00):
it's we stopped and people then we could only do interviews,
you know, at the house with camera up. It was
nobody around and it kind of happened like we didn't
plan for it to happen the way it happened.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
All right, I'm looking forward to that, think about it.
Eddie Murphy goes way.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Back, way way back.

member on Saturday Night Live. But the story with Eddie,

went away from stand up, you know what I mean.
And he made a bunch of movies, but he is
the king of stand up.

And let's face it, Thanksgiving is right around the corner.
And Gianna, you were on TikTok last night you found
something interesting about Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, I was scrolling away and I saw this video
of a lady explaining a text that she got from
her daughter in law and it was nine rules the
daughter in law was giving to the entire family for
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
So for the holidays.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah, oh, I got to hear this.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
My daughter in law just sent the Christmas rules VRS
follows one. No gifts that make noise, contain sugar, or
require any batteries. Number two, all wrapping paper must be
neutral tone. No Santa faces. That's overstimulating for the children.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I hate this already, No Santa.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
It has me neutral wrapping paper, and now they want
to control the wrapping paper that you're wrapping the gifts in.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh boy, oh my god.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
Number three. If you bring a dish label all ingredients,
list any aldergens, and note emotional intentions. Interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Who is this woman?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Johna some lady?
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Oh it was her daughter in law that wrote the
list when she posted a list. Oh so she's roasting
our daughta correct her daughter a law.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And it's like everyone in the comments was like, this
is the only time I'll agree with someone's mother, right, okay.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Number four refer from comparing Christmas pass they're creating new
traditions and don't want to blur are passed with their present.
Number five. No photos unless everyone can sents, signs and
approves the lighting.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Number six.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
No questions about politics, religion, or how you're doing emotionally.
Number seven.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
Don't question how you're doing emotionally. You can't you can't
have a conversation about your life.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Now you have to be a robot.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
So far, I think politics is the big ones.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
The big one, that's the big one is down.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
Yeah, children on what kind of cookies that they loved? Santa,
he gets kale and water for aniration. Right, be prepared
to leave promptly at eleven thirty.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Hold on, Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Santa gets kale in water in water, not cookies and milk.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
No one is going to this woman's house for holidays.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
I would have blocked her. I would have blocked her,
but you blocked on every platform.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
An hour and a half is ample time to celebrate.
And finally, number nine, all the cars must be parked
facing four forward because the HOA demands symmetry. Well, I'll
be spreading my holiday cheer courtesy of Jim Beam and check.
Speaker 4 (29:11):
What's the HOA. That's probably at condo. If you have
a condo, Yeah, you know the hoa.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
They have rules.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, yeah, so your car has to be parked facing forward.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
I mean I can understand that one.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
If they have rules where you live, you know, I
understand that you have neighbors, But some of these other things,
it's just absolutely crazy, insane.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I think family members should rise up and someone should
say I'll do the holidays, yeah, and don't invite her.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Right what everyone else responded? I would love to know.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, it's just it's just so controlling. It takes the
fun right out of it. The holidays are supposed to
be fun.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, but let's face it, the holidays do traditionally bring
family drama. Oh yeah, oh every family I mean crazy.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
It starts with where we're having the holidays. Who house
we're going to. That's always the first big issue. You know,
we had it at that house last year. We got
to have it here, and then like you know, we're
gonna go, We decide on a place, and then one
person complains it becomes a whole fiasco.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
That's the initial argument.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
How about the one if he's going, I'm not coming,
Oh my god. Yeah, such a project because a lot
of people in the family, the extended family, haven't spoken
for years. Yeah, they may have had an argument like
twenty years ago. They're still holding a grudge. So that
person's not allowed, right.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
Right, Uncle Mark is whoever is posting on Facebook crazy stuff? Yes,
there's always a crazy social there's always a fighting on
social media all the time.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
So Jihanna, what do you do for the holidays.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
My family's a little different because I have two sides.
I have my mom's side in my dad's side because
they're not together right, So I always get really stressed
out because I try to satisfy both sides. I have
to go to one go to the other especially, and
then Thanksgiving always falls around my birthday, so both sides
like to have a cake. So I'm always like, Okay,
(31:02):
I need to get to my mom's at this time,
and then I need to go back to my dad's
house at this age.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Oh and then who had the better cake?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Who is?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And this and that.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
It's like and I'm so thankful to have, you know,
two sides of the family. And now that I have
my boyfriend Jake, his side lives in New Jersey. So
that's a whole other outlayer that we have to figure
out this year.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's another thing with the extended family. Sometimes you have
to go visit one that's in New Jersey to day
with the one here. And for years I did Christmas
Eve at my house when I was raising my family
in Lynnfield, Big I just invited everybody, everybody from the neighborhood,
the whole extended family, everybody, and then nobody's complaining. You know,
if you don't like him, go to another part of
(31:41):
the house. Yeah, God, leave each other alone. Okay, what
do you do now? Last year was the first year
that my son, Chris Chris Costa, took over Christmas Eve
and it was awesome. He and Hannah, his wife, had
the family Christmas, which is my birthday, and they like
(32:02):
to make it. I hope they don't make a deal
about it anymore.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
But yeah, Johanna, did you know Billy's birthday is Christmas Eve?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I did.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
It's the forgotten birthday.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
It's good for us because we can rope two gifts
into one. So your one gift is his Christmas present
and his Birthday gift.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That's a nice way of putting it. Really, Thank God,
I could save you a couple of time.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I'm just being honest. That's how it is. Yeah. The
other issue when it comes to to get together is
during the holidays is alcohol. Yes, you know, there's always
somebody or multiple people that get too drunk. There's always
an outburst. Does that happen in your any of your families?
Speaker 2 (32:36):
You don't even know. And it also ties into politics,
because that's the only rule that I could agree with
that this girl on because you mix alcohol and politics.
My family, a lot of people think the complete opposite.
They have different views.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
So you have a divide in your.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I have a divide in my family on my mom's side.
And one year it resulted in you know, I think
things were thrown, somebody mooned, somebody.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Oh yeah, well that's always a celebratory thing.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I'm not gonna say what relative. It's funny now, but
I was trying to traumatize me as a child, and
it was all over politics, and they had some liquor justin.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I gotta tell you a funny story about my brother. Okay,
he lived down in Sarasota, Florida, And so my niece, Gina,
who works for iHeart in New York, the headquarters. You've
got a big gig. She's a liberal and my dad
is hardcore conservative.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Your brother.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Yeah, So whenever she brings the kids to visit my
brother down in Sarasota, she has to stay in the
guest bedroom and my brother intentionally has a giant framed
picture of President Truma in the bedroom.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
This is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Disaster.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Disaster.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's so divisive and it takes all
the fund right out of the family, let me tell you.
Speaker 17 (33:49):
Yeah, oh man, and the chaos of having families that
are sort of I don't want to say broken, but
there's a lot of separations in my family. So one
of my cousins just stepped up and said, you know what,
We're gonna all get together on December sixth, So we
have a random Saturday Christmas with everyone that can make it.
(34:12):
And it just makes holidays easier.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yes, I love that. Why not you get out of
the way early.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Leave it alone. Yeah, it's Christmas.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
I start feeling festive when we go on vacation, like,
you know, a few days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, then I stop getting festive, right fair, But.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
I'm seeing the Christmas decorations everywhere already.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
They're all of my houses.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Are lit up in houses around me.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
And yeah, how about this, Okay, I want to take
a glimpse into my house. My crazy wife, she she
decorates the whole house in Christmas. She buys a brand
new bath mats and shower curtains that are green to
go along with the theme. So I walk in the
bathroom and there's a green shower curt It is hideous, hideous,
(34:59):
and look at it. I go, why would she buy that?
And then later on she walks in and goes, why
did I buy that curtain?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
It's hideous? Why would I do that?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
And she won't stop talking about it the whole day,
this hideous why would you buy it?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Well, you get caught up with everything when you're out
during the holidays. You're leading up to the hall as
you in.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
When you go to like a TJ Max or somewhere,
I think they pump things into the air that hypnotize
you and.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
You just start buying.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Yeah, and then you black out. Because I've had moments
like that, I'm like, I actually really buy that.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Yeah, I remember that. She does that all the time.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Now we have to get a new Santa for the
porch because the Santa got decapitated last year. The head
came off and we had to glue the head back
on and now the head's like not staying, so we have.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
To buy it outside the elements.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
So I had it time down to the porch.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Hey, I got you a Christmas tree this year?
Speaker 3 (35:48):
You did?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah? At all?
Speaker 20 (35:49):
Mad at one of the Wayfair properties.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, it's a little tree.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
So now it's topic time with the Billy and Lisa
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Well, Mariah Carey said it. Yes, it's time for the holidays.
It starts with Thanksgiving, it takes us through Christmas in
New Years, and let's face it, it creates a lot of
family drama. And we had a list of some people
who are issuing rules. Now, if you're coming to the
house for the holidays, John, my.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Daughter lad just sent the Christmas Rules VRS. Follows one.
No gifts that make noise, contain sugar, or require any batteries.
Number two, all wrapping paper must be neutral tone. No
Santa faces that's overstimulating for the children. Number three if
you bring a dish label all ingredients, list any allergens,
(36:41):
and no emotional intentions. Interesting. Number four refer from comparing
Christmas past. They're creating new traditions and don't want to
blur our past with their present. Number five, no photos
unless everyone consents, signs and approved the lighting.
Speaker 21 (37:02):
I don't know who this woman is that made this
crazy Christmas list of things you can't do at the
Christmas party, but it reminds me of this documentary I
saw years ago, called the Grinch who Stole Christmas.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
That's so true.
Speaker 22 (37:15):
I'm calling BS on that email. I don't think anybody
could possibly be that obnoxious. I think they asked chat
GPT to find the most obnoxious rules that people have
around holidays and put them all in one email, because
I think if somebody really was that obnoxious, there's no
(37:36):
way that somebody else would have wanted to marry them
and pro create.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Let's go to Dave calling in from Belmont. Good morning, Dave,
your thoughts on the holidays?
Speaker 10 (37:48):
Good morning.
Speaker 9 (37:49):
I had to laugh, Gianna, you are so spot on
about home goods.
Speaker 12 (37:53):
I walked in there this weekend to buy one item.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
It was a toothbrush, and sixty five dollars later and
an hour of my time, Oh yeah, two baskets full
of Christmas.
Speaker 23 (38:04):
I probably have a green curtain in there too that
I don't even know that I need.
Speaker 14 (38:08):
I mean, I was, I don't know what came over me.
Speaker 16 (38:11):
I couldn't stop buying stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, it's like you get possessed in there by some
sort of home goods demon?
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Is this home goods?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Home goods?
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Do you know what I bought from Home Goods one time,
sparkly hand chairs, giant giant hand chairs, you know, chairs
in the shape of a literal.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Hand Okay, yeah, all right, and.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
They were disco.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
They were Disco designed and you bought them. You have
them still.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Correct, they're in a storage unit.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I gotta tell you it's happened to me at home Goods.
I was in Florida once and we walked into Home Goods.
I left with furniture like it's crazy, Like you say, hey,
look at that outdoor furniture.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
What you're saying that's my conspiracy theory and I'm sticking
to it.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No, there's something there too.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
My wife's the same thing, you know, that thing with
the j shawaker and the green one that she hates.
That's not the first time. She just buys things and
then complains about them after. Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 14 (39:07):
This is why I think Friendsgiving is so popular, because
nobody wants to spend five hours with crazy Uncle Bob,
but everyone wants to spend time with their friends, people
they're choosing to spend the holidays with. So I'm hosting
my first ever friends giving. It's gonna be a dessert
party this year, and super excited for that.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I love that, Gianna. You seem like a friends giving girl.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I just started doing it last year, and I do
it the day before Thanksgiving because thank goodness, my friends
and I don't really have responsibilities to prepare for Thanksgiving
the next day. And we did the whole let's go
out in our hometown and it was in Revere, and
I got really sick and tired of that real quick.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Oh, I thought you're gonna say you got beat up.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
I almost beat somebody up.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving is a big go out
on the town kind of a night right. You meet
old friends even and from high school, from college and
all that it is.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
And like not to toot my own horn. But I
started like not being able to get into bars in Revere,
and I was like, what am I doing waiting in
a line?
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Can I ask you something? I think? Do you think?
And be honest, do you think? In my family I'm
the one no one wants to be around.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
Yeah, well they talk about you behind your back. Who's
gonna take Uncle Billy?
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Really already?
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Yeah? Oh yeah I know that for a fact.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Oh no, my son, Chris, that's sharing with you.
Speaker 4 (40:29):
I can't say who it is, but they love you daily.
But you're a huge pain in the ass well because
you criticize every holiday.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
You don't eat the food.
Speaker 4 (40:38):
You complain about the food, the gluttony that everybody's eating.
You know, he thinks that every holiday Gianna is about
food and he hates it.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
Nobody wants to gorge geat regardless of the holiday, it's
all around giant, multiple plates of food. You know what,
I'm going to spend the holidays with Johanna's dad, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
We were just talking off the air about how Billy
wants to hang out with Eddie.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yeah too.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah, yeah, we are a new best friend.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah, he was great.
Speaker 8 (41:03):
The biggest issue every year at Christmas is the Yankee Swap.
It's been going on for over fifteen years and every
year the rules need to be repeated. People fight over
the rules, People fight over gifts. Somebody always brings an
extra gift which throws off all the numbers. We have
(41:25):
to give out numbers eighty five times. So yeah, the
Yankee swap is always eventful.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
I'm glad you brought that up. Me too, that's a
big issue.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
The best is when they because you can steal other
people's gifts. Yeah, it's like everybody wants the Dunks card
or the Starbucks card. Yes, you know, and they're like,
some little kid will get it and the mom will
be so happy, and then then the older guy will
steal the card from the kid.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
Yeah, big drama.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
No, nothing causes more drama and arguments and hate than
the Yankee swap.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
Yeah, we do one too.
Speaker 1 (41:55):
About these stupid gifts and you want the one you
want and then somebody walks up and just takes it
from you toward the end of the game. You thought
you had it.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
Yeah, and it' supposed to be a fun thing.
Speaker 4 (42:03):
What are the people that complain and cry about the
gift they got, like they want, you know, they got
something they didn't like and now they're upset, sulking in
the corner.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
Or when they make the price above twenty or twenty
five dollars.
Speaker 3 (42:14):
Yeah I hate that.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Yeah, all opped out, it's twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Or if they set the price and the one person
comes in having spent two hundred.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
Yeah, yeah, they overdo it. The overdoer. Oh that's a
good one right there. Let's go to Katie and.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Woover on line one.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Hey, Katie, Good morning. What have you got for the holidays?
Speaker 13 (42:30):
Good morning. We got some family cananigans going on. I'm
talking like, you know, the holidays are just like cuckoo
because I have to I'm not married, so and I
don't have kids, so I just have to tolerate, you know,
the kids, the dogs. It's just craziness. I would like
to skip over it. I think I actually welcome actually
(42:51):
Gianna to the show. You add a good piece of
a little Lisa to the show.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
And I love you, thank you, I love you back.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
I appreciate that unit.
Speaker 13 (43:03):
I can totally relate to her, even though I'm twenty
years older. That just like you know, I just come
and don't have to bring anything to Thanksging, but I
have to kind of be like the babysitters last dogs
that are because it's just like craziness.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Yeah, they're shoving the dogs and the kids off on
you because you don't have anything.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Let's go to Paula next. Paula.
Speaker 20 (43:23):
You're on the air as we say, Paula. Oh, Paula,
Paula called back. She got disconnected. It's all good, good.
She had a good Yankee swap one so oh, call back.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Paula.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
So, my mom has hosted Christmas Eve every single year
for the past twenty seven years.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
She has three sisters.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
For some reason, her and her sisters decided to have
a conversation about what's going to happen when her parents,
who lived down in Florida passed away. Now, one of
my aunts was very drunk, and needless to say that,
I ended with everybody screaming at each other and all
of the cousins hysterically.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Wow, I've been there.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
They start speculating about death. Well, you know, Joe and
Mary down there in Florida, what are we going to
do once they die?
Speaker 4 (44:11):
The clock's ticking on them, So we got to stop
planning ahead for the future.
Speaker 18 (44:16):
I don't have a family, so never had to deal
with any big family holiday events or anything like that.
But got married a couple of years ago to a
guy whose family is half Italian.
Speaker 22 (44:28):
Half Irish, and one alcoholics.
Speaker 18 (44:31):
So to say that family holiday events are traumatic would
be a bit of an understatement. I literally got whiplash
from the drama the first year.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
So yeah, fun part alcoholic. Oh we got Paula back. Paula,
you're back, give us your story.
Speaker 24 (44:52):
Oh, we have this god awful, hideous ulog that's been
going around our family for years. It's this this ceramic,
big ceramic, gold and all different colored yule log. It's hideous,
and people shake boxes do everything. Is sometimes a picture
(45:13):
in a small box that you got the yule log,
and everybody screams when you know, it's just a madhouse
when the Yankee swaps.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Got But what purpose does the U log serve?
Speaker 24 (45:27):
None at all? You hide it until next year because
no one can figure out who got it last year.
Who's bringing in the box or the bag going to
get that U log because no one remembers who's got
it the year before.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
So a sad holiday tradition. Thanks for the call.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
I mean, if the yule log makes somebody that happy,
it's all.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
About the one thing nobody wants.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
I guess, can I ask a question? I got, what's
a yule log?
Speaker 1 (45:57):
I don't know. That's why I said, what's its purpose?
I would saying like they keep things in it?
Speaker 3 (46:02):
I guess ulog is a cake. That's what I see.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Yeah, that's what I thought it.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
That's what I thought it was. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
I passed the U log around. It's a cake.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
I guess let's go to Laurie online too. She's got
a good Yankee Swap store.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Here, right, Laurie, let's go Yankee swap. Come on, give
us some good stuff.
Speaker 23 (46:20):
So I agree with you. Yankee swap you get all
different ages, different people, whatever. So what we did is
now we have themes. So every year you let someone
know prior what the theme is, what the dollar value is.
For example, like one year you had to buy stuff
from a thrift shop and it couldn't be more than
fifteen dollars. And then when you opened it up, like
(46:42):
you had to wear it, you had to put it on.
So it made it more fun and it wasn't more
about it was more about fun than getting like the
best gift. Another time it was like a grocery store.
You had to go in the grocery store and buy
something under ten dollars. And so it was just a
theme and it just took the what do you get
for all ages kind of a thing.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
So all due respect, this sounds like absolutely I.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Love that one.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
One.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 4 (47:13):
I guess how many Yankee swaps do I have this year?
I think I have at least one usually have a
couple like two or three every year.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
I only had one in my life, and thank god
it's over. It stopped like two years ago.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
We do it every year.
Speaker 1 (47:27):
My friends Brian and Mitzi would have it.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
Did it go Okay?
Speaker 1 (47:30):
Beautiful night, lobster dinners, that it comes from love and
North end Over And then the Yankee swap came. You
knew you weren't going to see some of these people
ever again. After the Yankee swaps, the arguments got so deep.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
Yeah, I love this conversation all from that stupid list
from that woman on TikTok about the things, all from
the stupid list, that list of.
Speaker 17 (47:50):
Rules for holidays.
Speaker 5 (47:52):
If I was in her family, I would break every
single one of those and then some and show up
and have a blast.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
