Speaker 11 (07:01):

Speaker 2 (07:02):

Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's a really hard hunt.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Sounds like okay, smooth operata, that could be it?
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Oh yeah, did you know that one too? Though? It's
one weight with the Billy and Lisa's weird stories. So
I don't know if this has ever happened to you
find something in your sandwich wrap, like a hair or
something like that. Well, a woman in New Zealand posted
a video recently after she bought a wrap sandwich at
(07:30):
her favorite sandwich place and it came with a knife.
Speaker 12 (07:34):
I was just eating my chicken wrap and I bit
into this little orange bit. I'm like, that's a really
hard carrot. Look what they left in my wrap? Like goodness,
I eate from this side and from that side.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh that's pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, it was a knife, so she bit the handle
and not the blade.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Wouldn't it been so funny if she'd bit the other end?
How many millions is she doing for?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
She says she's not suing by the way everyone says
she should, and she's kind of making it out to
be a joke.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, okay, all right. So I walked in very early
this morning. Justin and I were getting together at about
four fifteen this morning, and as I walked into a studio,
he was playing a video of Martha Stewart and Martha
Stewart was doing a sexy ad for mac Makeup, and well,
(08:28):
I guess we'll just play some of it Justin and
it's very visual, but I think it works.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Before I do, I want to let everybody know that
Billy watched the video and said, I am not doing
this in my entertainment report. I have more class than this.
So I gave it to him for a weird story.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
And Martha Stewart, what gets me in the nude? How
about it?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Strawberry fresh picked from the garden, best in the hot sun, honey,
golden amber.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
She's rubbing it all over head.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Try eating one of these in a lily white bed
can't do it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Okay, personal personally, I can never unsee.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
So social is kind of like it's mixed reviews. It's
kind of split on yea, how people are thinking about
this ad?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Just her she's doing a billy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Exactly, Martha Stewart.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, you can see it for yourself. It's out there.
It's all over social as they say, what have we got?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Okay, So a social media account called Catherine Hates Boomers
is going viral after the woman claimed she knows the
real reason your boomer boss schedules so many meetings.
Speaker 13 (09:51):
Boomers love meetings. They'll have meetings about meetings. Meetings make
them feel important because next time somebody's trying to schedule
something like the doctor's appointment, the doctor says, can we
do it on Wednesday the twelfth, they can say no, sorry,
I can't. I have a meeting that day. Oh you're
an important person who has meetings. Anybody can email. Work
is about showing your title. An email just does not
convey that grandeur. They also love their paperwork, so they
(10:12):
can file things away in a drawer to never be
seen again. But having paperwork that makes you important. So
we can't work from home because nobody's going to see
when you're suiting. You're not gonna be able to tell
me you have meetings schedule.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I always say that most meetings could just be an email.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I hate meetings.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
I hate and we actually don't have as many as
most companies. But you know, feel like our job is
more like this.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
But they do his.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Meetings all day long.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The company does.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah, yeah, Billy loves it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I don't know who it is. Nobody even asked me
to do it, So who would I talk to a
person who never asked me. I know it, Sure we'll
do right, but shouldn't there have been a follow up conversation.
By the way, they like the meeting. It went well,
they want you to do the commercial. Here's the way
it's going to work.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I was that what's up?
Speaker 14 (10:59):
Bob sent it Serena Carpenter and you're waking up with
Billy and Lisa in the morning on Kiss one O eight.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
What's up? Everybody? Justin here and welcome back to the show.
So Joey McIntyre from The New Kids, a Boston legend,
is back with a new album, new tour. He's got
a residency in Vegas coming up. So much going on
he's back home in Boston.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'm home.
Speaker 10 (11:22):
I'm officially home. I'm on the on the air with you, Billy.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
And.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
A lot of people don't realize this, but you still
have a home here in Massachusetts. Are we allowed to
say where?
Speaker 10 (11:34):
I mean whatever, I'm not too precious about it.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It's uh, it's it's where the Pilgrim's first yea. Yeah,
I Donnie found a place there years ago, and then
I stayed at his place, and then I discovered it
because growing up in JP, you know, it was like, yeah,
Plymouth on the way to on the way to.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
The cave, you know what I mean? Who stays at Blimouth?
Speaker 15 (12:01):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
But everybody does not.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, it's a it's a it's a gem and it's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And and now do you have like blockheads gathering outside
the house? Yeah, you know, everybody secret out.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
No, it's nice.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I mean, I think you know as as our amazing
you know, it's hard to call them fans because they're
family at this point with us for so long. But
you know, fame or whatever whatever the hell you call
it is, is that a good place because I get
to do what I love to do. And uh, people
aren't sitting outside my house, you know.
Speaker 10 (12:37):
So it's a it's a it's a sweet thing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And you're launching a solo project, which has to be terrifying.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Well, I I enjoy. I enjoy the spotlight, I think.
So I'm not afraid of, you know, not sharing the spotlight.
But I think, you know, throughout the years, you know.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
Making my own music is important.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I mean, I have this beautiful, amazing ride called Nucas
on the Block or you know, and it's such a
part of me and the five of us are so
lucky and obviously this town has done nothing but embrace
us all these years.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
But you know, to have my.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Own thing and to carve my own path and have
my autonomy is very very important, so I can balance that.
So my new album Freedom is just like something that
was important to do, and to make a whole album
is a big commitment. But I did it and it's
exciting to be out and and share it and yeah,
so here I am.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Well. The first single off the album is called Freedom.
We have a clip here. Wow, it's like a giant production. Yeah,
I want to get to the bottom of something. Okay.
(13:54):
Justin is the executive producer of this radio program.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
And no, just no, I listen to know me is
to love me.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
But I heard a clip of you guys so graciously
playing the record, but it was sped up a little bit,
you know what I mean? And I was I was
wondering if if, if I was hearing things. So you
just didn't think the original tempo was fascinating.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I think if your imagination, because if it were sped up,
Justin would have had to speed it up.
Speaker 10 (14:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, you know we're going to launch an investigation.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You know, I got people we want to get sued
for entering your product.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
I got people, you know, on both sides of the
law that are going to take a look.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Justin, did we speed it up?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Well, it is radio and everything.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Crazy thing. I'm the crazy I'm the crazy artist who
you know. You know, Yes, it goes over everything with
the final.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, it's not like we were looking.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I should be very grateful that he even put it
in the cliff.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
No, we weren't looking to save time. Yeah, I think
it just worked better for the format. Okay, I think
that's what we did, right, Justin?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It wasn't fair, Okay, it's not a bad idea to
take criticism once in a while.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
You're the superstar in the world sign of an adult
and I'm trying to get there.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
But so, uh, I gotta ask you, because when Kendrick
Lamar did the super Bowl halftime a couple of weeks ago, uh,
somehow it was announced that the New Kids on the
Block did the very first pop super Bowl halftime show?
Is that true?
Speaker 10 (15:28):
They're they're giving us credit for that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I think we were the first act to be like
the guest act at the super Bowl. Obviously they always had,
you know, performances, but yes, we were the first pop
act to perform at the super Bowl in ninety I
guess it was ninety one earlier that I was.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
With Whitney Houston. That was That was when Whitney Houston is.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That when she's saying that, I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
I think it was bro it was.
Speaker 16 (15:52):
It was a long time ago in the world, the
best anthem of all time.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
I'm yes, I remember with that anthem, but the amber
being yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I mean, that was not so time, but we were
literally you know, that was like Taylor Swift Lever level game,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well, you guys at one point. What was it like
being on the super Bowl stage.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
You super Bowl when we looked at it, I mean,
are you we were we were still at the time,
it was we were still you know, I think teenagers
at the at the height of it was Mickey, it
was us and like Disney. So you got to remember
we were like teenagers. So did we want to be
(16:39):
dancing along you know, Mickey and many?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Not necessarily?
Speaker 16 (16:42):
Would it be the performance we would do now? No,
but wait a minute, you performed with Mickey and Minnie. Yeah, yeah,
wait a minute, Yeah it was.
Speaker 10 (16:55):
It was. Yes, so it was. It had a Disney
flare too.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And again even though we were, you know, we had
a huge following of the Disney generation or demo it was, yeah,
it was. It was at a time where again it
was there was a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I think, I'm here with Mickey and many.
Speaker 16 (17:18):
You guys have to be excited some big ceremonies here today.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh yeah, we just had so I.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Was before the New Kids, How well is that?
Speaker 10 (17:28):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
But I traveled the world with you guys.
Speaker 10 (17:32):
I did part of Scotland. I remember us came over
to Scotland too. You went, you know international with us.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, like they had me in People magazine as the
guy with new kids, and I thought it sounded a
little creepy. Yeah, but but it was quite a trick.
I was. No, it was good. I do remember this.
He didn't die. No, I swear be a little you
(18:00):
know the hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But I remember when
you got when we arrived in you know, England, in Scotland,
it was like the arrival of the Beatles for the
first time to America. I mean, tens of thousands of
people at the airport and yeah, did you ever fear
for your life?
Speaker 15 (18:19):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (18:20):
I think once in Korea.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
We we came into Korea once and the authorities didn't
want to believe us that it was going to be crazy,
and literally we had to get just picture like any
baggage claim area with like four thousand screaming people wanting to.
Speaker 10 (18:36):
Get at you. And yeah there was there was from
time to time.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
It was a little crazy, but you know, we were
teenagers with lots of energy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
So you and I everybody were staying at the hotel
right there in downtown Edinburgh, Scotland, and there were constantly
thousands of fans outside the hotel. You had to go
on a special entrance. It was great, but it must
have been nice, I guess.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
You know, back then, I don't know how they found
out about everything, but like there was just one place.
So instead of I guess social media where you're all
over the world, there was when they found out, everybody
went to that one place, you know what I mean,
the hotel, of the car whatever it was.
Speaker 10 (19:15):
And yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
What makes it sweet is that you know, we still
have what we have with our fans and and you know,
so we can look back at that madness but still
enjoy what we have and still get to act like
teenagers and rock stars. But everything in between is a
little bit more and more jail now.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
And now you have a Vegas residency. Is that started June?
Speaker 10 (19:41):
That starts June.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
We at the Dolby Theater, the MGM Theater, and we're
just starting to gear up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You know.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's to have all the bells and whistles and sit
down at a theater like that and create a show.
I mean, we love to to create something different every time,
and we've been able to have fun and pull it
off and surprise our fans and.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
To do that in Vegas is going to be amazed.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
If I was a pop star, I can't imagine anything
better than a Vegas residency. You don't have to go anywhere,
you don't have to get on a tour bus or
an airplane, you don't have to set up and break down.
You just take the elevator down right to that point.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Our last tour this summer, we almost died, so we
were we hadn't done outside shows and forever. It was
literally like ninety five degrees on the stage across America
like every night, and you know, of course our fans
were hanging in there with us, but we were drenched
every night. So to go to one place, like you said,
with air conditioning, it's going to be nice. But I
(20:41):
can't believe we still had something on the table. You know,
Las Vegas was still on the table. We've been able
to do so many things and mix it up and
we're very, very excited, So it's going to be good.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Were you really eleven years old when you're saying please
don't go girl.
Speaker 10 (20:55):
No, I was fourteen when I when I recorded it.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Just to take you back, don't speed.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It up.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
From the planet Fitness kiss one O Wait Studios.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
We're back with a Villy and Lisa in the morning kiss.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
So at Leasta right now is sitting on a list
of cringe worthy things that younger generations are doing right
now at weddings, and it's kind of going viral, right It.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Is, actually so a couple of them are drinking way
too much and behaving badly at a wedding and we
see it all the time. Another one is making the
wedding and like a place that you make your own announcement,
like you're having a baby or you're getting engaged.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
People hate that.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
No, it's like it's not your day. You wait for
your day. Another one is stealing the bride's thunder wearing
a white dress or something that looks more like a
wedding dress.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, you never want to outdo the bride.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
No, and it doesn't matter, like even if it's like
off white, just stay away from white. Another one is
during like the best man's speech, a lot of best
man's speeches, and I witnessed this at a wedding. They
make like real crazy jokes and they share embarrassing moments
that are like almost too embarrassing, And then you look
around the room and again a lot of weddings. There's
(22:08):
like a lot of different age groups at weddings, right,
your parents, your parents, friends, grandparents, and they kind of
look like, what what is this person talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, if you're the man of honor, don't try to
be a comedian exactly. You're not the star of the show.
It's best to be heartfelt.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Right. And then the other one, the last one, is
wearing something way too casual or too revealing, so you
never want to show up as the hot mess.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, every wedding has one, though, and then everybody's talking
about the president. You see what she was wearing. Oh
my god. Yeah, weddings always get people talking. Weddings always
cause chaos and family chaos among friends, and it's weird. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I don't mind the personal stories, but I agree, you
don't know, not too embarrassing. Oh yeah, but I like
a little bit of heartfelt, you know, showing your relationship.
You know, yes, don't go too far right, you know,
don't be a comedian. Don't get drunk and embarrass yourself.
Speaker 10 (23:06):
True love is hard to find.
Speaker 15 (23:09):
Sometimes you think you have true love and then you
catch the early flight home from San Diego and a
couple of new people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded
like a goddamn magic show, ready to double team your girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It stops, stops, yeah, and then the mic gets pulled
from you.
Speaker 17 (23:26):
You know.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
I was actually at one of those weddings. No way,
I'm telling you that the best man it went off
the rails. I was looking around like, I can't even
believe he's talking about these old like party stories. Yeah,
it was really cool.
Speaker 16 (23:40):
Well, a lot of best men really inappropriate because of nerves.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Right, we'll drink too much before their speech because they're
so nervous about the speech. They've thought about it for
weeks and weeks, so now they're trashed and it's time
to give it to speech. It's like a lot of
people are trashed in the wedding party before they even
get to the wedding, you know, because they have that
long photo session. Everybody's drinking. They're riding around in limos.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And it's maybe they wrote something down but they drank
too much and don't want to try to read it
and fumble through it, so they try to freestyle it
and then it goes off the risk.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah. Same, if you're asked to be an efficient, to
be heartfelt it's not your time for stand up.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Well, you've done it a couple of times.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah, it's the most nerve wracking thing you can do.
It's one of the most difficult things you'll do in life,
but one of the most valuable. And if you're asked
to officiate somebody's wedding, I mean, it's such an honor,
but you're nervous. But don't settle your nerves by trying
to be the funny guy.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
But I also think if an efficient knows the couple,
or like the best man of the main of honor,
don't make the speech or the ceremony about you.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Right, It's about the bride.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
If you're the friend of the of the groom, talk
about how the bride made the groom better. If you opposite,
talk about the groom making the bride's life better. If
you're the efficient, talk about like their love together.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
You know what I mean, Like, honey, he was a
hot mess until he met you.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You know, it's just for old hookups, old girlfriends.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Oh god, when the best man does dad talking about
the old girlfriend.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
No, I'm telling you that was part of the speech
that I witnessed.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, it's very common yeah, yeah, And for God's sakes, Bill,
don't drink too.
Speaker 10 (25:16):
Much at a wedding reception.
Speaker 18 (25:17):
Bill shows the telltale signs of being wasted on the
dance floor. He rips off his tuxedo shirt. He swings
it over his head and asks the photographer are you
getting this? He dives on the floor and does the worm.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Kids wait and we're back with a Billy and Lisa
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
So a couple of minutes ago, we were talking about weddings,
wedding etiquette, things that happen at weddings that people just
do not like.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
Am I crazy? Is the new normal for being in
someone's wedding? To spend five thousand dollars? I'm in a
wedding this June and the costs are likely going to
be around five thousand dollars with everything now, I'm in
other weddings coming up. Am I supposed to get a
second job?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Is it normal?
Speaker 11 (25:59):
Like ever everyone had me spending this, it would be
like fifteen thousand extra year. What do you do with this?
Especially as a non confrontational person who's usually a big
yes man?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
How yeah, don't even get me.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, if you're a people pleaser, you are going to
have a tough time during wedding season at a certain
stage of your life, because you're right, like five people
will get married like back to back.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah, And she's right, added up if you're invited to
be in five weddings is like twenty five grand.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
You know, when my really really best friends getting married
in August and she's having her bachelotte party and said,
when I know you don't want to come, I was like,
thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
She didn't even invite me.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
She's not asking me to go because she knows they
don't want to go. And I'm saving so much money
if I went, because I wouldn't have felt like I
had to go if she invited me.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
But she's like, don't come. I know you don't want
to come. It's great when they let you off the hook.
I had a niece that let me off the hook
once her wedding was going to be in the summer,
and she pulled me aside, uncle Billy, Look, I know
you love the boat. You'll be out boating. Don't feel
the need. Just get us a really nice gift. That's
really all They wanted a little bit of cash. Sure,
that's it, you know, because weddings are weird, especially the
(27:06):
big weddings. The bride and groom never really get to
engage with any of their friends or guests because they're
always being pulled around for ceremony.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
But it's the problem is is what that talkbacker was saying.
She was asked to be in all of these weddings,
and like, what do you do, like if you say no, Like,
is your friend going to be like upset with you?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
I honestly, I'm at the age where my friends have
gotten married or getting married, And like you have to
at some point. It is a financial hardship, Like it's
an amount of moneys to ask of somebody. I luckily don't
have friends like that. They know better than to ask
me these things. But like, I'll be generous, I'll get
you a good present, and I'll take you out, like
(27:45):
for dinner or something just us.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
But I don't want to go for a five day
dacation with girls I.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
Don't like or don't know, to celebrate you getting married.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah, the destination weddings, they're asking a lot, you know.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
They were like, let's just not invite whinnies. Yeah, miserable. Yes,
she's going to talk trash every single day until it comes.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
A friendship that's a real friendship.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
She knows that that's why she was let off the hook.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
So I was my.
Speaker 11 (28:07):
Best friend's made of honor.
Speaker 14 (28:09):
And during the speeches, the groom's brother went first and
he attempted to freestyle a fifteen minute speech that everybody
was so tired during it felt like they couldn't eat
their food, to the point where the wedding planner looked
at me and said, please make sure yours is short
(28:30):
and sweet, and I said absolutely, and I did it
in like a minute.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yeah, my mate. Bar of speech was a minute. That's
all you need.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Sure it's good. A couple of minutes, Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
And make it heart felt. Don't be the comedian at
the wedding or.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Share like disgusting old past experiences the.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Old girl for I remember the time we're an old
orchard beach.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Yeah, and whatever you do when you hit the dance floor,
don't feel then to grind.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
My mom got remarried a few years ago and it
was a beautiful, very elegant wedding, and towards the end
of the wedding, my stepbrother was very intoxicated and as
Billy would say, try to get a good grind in
with his cousin's new girlfriend, who he was too intoxicated
to know that was his girlfriend. So a big brawl
broke out with five people, and my mom was sitting
(29:23):
at a table on the dance floor crying that everyone
was fighting at her wedding.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah, weddings can be wrought with danger. A lot of
fights breakout at weddings. Police are called.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
It's like everybody's drinking for the most part.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Yeah, we have someone in my family that you like,
don't invite to weddings because one time he grinded on
like an eighty year old lady.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It happened to any wedding, Yeah, it happened more than
you think. You get a good grind, you know, a
good grind always leads to something better. Thanks Bill. Earlier,
one of our talkbackers was talking about the father of
the Brind hitting on one of the Brind's maids. I mean,
what crazy stuff happens.
Speaker 19 (30:01):
Yeah, So, I'm actually a wedding coordinator and one of
the weirdest things I've ever seen at a wedding was
during the garter toss moment, which I feel like is
a little cringey within itself. But the groom decided to
do this whole stripper shipping Dale type dance where he's
topping the floor, and it was just terribly, terribly awkward.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
They were very young, the.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Parents and grandparents were there.
Speaker 19 (30:27):
It was like secondhand embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh god, that was the groom doing that.
Speaker 11 (30:32):
The garter thing needs to be abolished.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
I do not need to see you pretending to like
eat your girlfriend or your wife's leg in front of
their grandmother just to find the place now.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, and they play the old school stripper song and
all like it's like.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Girl and all the women are desperately sitting there trying
to like, you know, grab it.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah, oh god, I don't. Yeah, I don't mean to
say going for the garter. She's opening her legs, like
what is going on?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Yeah, saved that for after we did that toss.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
I mean I didn't do the whole Chip and Dales dance,
but you did that sober too, sober?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh god, wow, in front of your parents. Shame on me. Yeah,
and grandparents.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
I was at a wedding and a guest at our
table who was filling in.
Speaker 20 (31:20):
For his dad.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
He was there with his mom.
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Got wasted at the open bar. He started taking off
layers and then it was out on the dance floor
and dropped the bride man of honor on the floor,
and needless to say, his mom had to rain him
in and make him leave.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Yeah. I don't get the undressing. Like I got to
be honest. At one of my son's wedding, all of
his childhood buddies just suddenly took all their shirts off.
I saw grabbing each other and wrestling on the floor.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
And I have to say. My older son, Max was
there with me and it was his first wedding. He goes, Mom,
is this what happens? Everyone takes their Yeah, I saw
that picture of video.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Billy.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I was like that, Yeah, I said, no, this is
just unique to the Costa family.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Anyway, happy weddings.
Speaker 20 (32:11):
When I was fourteen, my parents got married and my
aunt love her to death, but she's the crazy one
in the family. She got so drunk she went around
and flashed everybody her New.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
Knockers Boston, It's Sat McCrae and you're waking up with
Billy and Lisa in the morning on Kiss One Away.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Hay, Lisa, Hey, everybody justin here, welcome back to the show.
So a hot topic always on the Billy and Lisa
Show is restaurants, especially bad behavior in restaurants. I know, listen.
I used to work in a restaurant as a teenager
in my twenties, so I've seen it all, as you
probably have to. The moral of the story is, when
you're about to eat, be respectful.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (32:56):
I waited tables in college and I had this wonderful
family of four. They were very pleasant, very sweet. They
left a decent tip at the time it was fifteen percent.
But after they left, I didn't know this.
Speaker 8 (33:09):
Their child had threw up all over the table, and
all they did was cover it with a bunch of napkins.
So when I went to go clean the table, I
went to like, go pull all the napkins, and I
got covered in vomit.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Vomit with your bare hands too, I bet right.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Yeah, I mean, yes, absolutely, with my bare hands, all
over my tants and my apron.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
But I mean I would have cleaned it up if
they just would have told me.
Speaker 5 (33:34):
It just would have been nice.
Speaker 8 (33:35):
To know ahead of time. I wouldn't have minded cleaning
it up had I known ahead of time.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
You probably would have put some gloves on it. You know,
it's like.
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Yeah, absolutely, or made the busboy do it.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Hey, Josh, Washa, Yeah, get on this, will you? Good call?
Good call? Let's go to Danielle from Hey from Milton, Hey, Hey, Danielle.
Speaker 21 (33:56):
Hello, So I waited tables throughout college and then three
years after and I actually waited on you, billy about
fifteen years ago at a restaurant on the Cape and
still remember your order down to the drink, salad and

Speaker 4 (34:32):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Salad?
Speaker 6 (34:34):
Salad was salmon on top?
Speaker 21 (34:37):
No, Actually, all he ordered for food was a side
garden salad, shrimp, cranberry, and apple vinigarette.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Wow, ordered a garden no protein.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Okay, I'll tell you eight calories a shrimp, that's true.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, it was probably a light lunch. All right.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Let me ask you a question here, Danielle, did he
ask did he ask you for any did you offer him,
I should say any water.
Speaker 21 (35:06):
I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
Yeah about fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, you're gonna be careful. Yeah what else?
Speaker 21 (35:12):
It was very nice, but he was with a group
of guys that like came in after, you know. I
think it was golfing perps or something there was. It
was a big table and most of the guys, you know,
are hungry and ordering wats of food.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Maybe it was guys get away.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
It was probably a guy's get away. Where in the
cape was it's It was in Comet, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
Definitely, Yeah, guys got away.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
You and Rocket and all your all the guys with
Juky and all, like the hearty guys.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
If you're a waiter out there in Boston listening, never
offered Billy water.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I never believed in the water thing. Okay, dude, I
just had a bottle of water in the car. Leave
me alone and bring me a drink. Roxanne from Saga,
So go ahead, Roxanne, Hi, good.
Speaker 17 (35:58):
Morning, everybody. So I've been I was in the and
she for thirty thirty plus.
Speaker 8 (36:05):
She is.
Speaker 17 (36:05):
I did it raising my kids. I stayed home during
the day work at night. But when I was a
lot younger, when I started serving. I worked in a
breakfast place and I had a customer tell me, an
older woman telling me her coffee wasn't hot enough. We
just hadn't made the pot of coffee.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Yeah, so I took her cup of.
Speaker 17 (36:22):
Coffee back and I put hot pepper flakes in it.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Oh my god, did she drink it?
Speaker 17 (36:31):
And she said she drank it. She said it was
the best hop cup of coffee.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
She oh, yeah, there you go. Here's your coffee. Wow.
Speaker 17 (36:39):
Nothing, I mean the hot pepper flakes they don't sink,
they float on the top of the.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Coffeehow Yeah, well maybe she got the message.
Speaker 17 (36:47):
Yeah, yeah, I think so. She wasn't regular, unfortunately, but
she was just was naggy all the time.
Speaker 8 (36:54):
You know, leave you the.
Speaker 17 (36:55):
Ten cents, the fifty cents or whatever. You know, Yeah,
thirty years of it. It's you know, people want to
come in. I've been a hostess. They yell at you
because again, like you had said earlier about holding open tables. Yes,
that's the fam because you know that if the restaurants slammed,
you don't want to have a customer sitting there. I've
actually escorted out customers for yelling at me because they
(37:17):
couldn't sit down. Here's the door, go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
That's my girl.
Speaker 17 (37:23):
What's up Miranda on the flip side.
Speaker 21 (37:25):
So, I was a waitress and one time I was
serving a breakfast and I served a man an eggs benedict,
and I accidentally dropped it on his shoes.
Speaker 12 (37:35):
He was sitting with his shoes up on the booth
and he was with his two kids, and he made
me clean his shoes and.
Speaker 17 (37:41):
Kept being like, you need to buy me new shoes,
and they looked like they were just like old gross
tennis shoes.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Well, you got down on your knees and wiped off
the eggs benedict.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
Me and my coworkers did.
Speaker 17 (37:53):
Yes, you're a.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
Grown me on your feet up at a restaurant. That's
the whole other issue.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Kids too, Like what are you teaching your kids there?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Oh my god, terrible, terrible good morning.
Speaker 22 (38:06):
I used to work at a restaurant where this couple
would make a reservation for three people and bring their
stuffed raccoon who they called the raccoon da apostrophe raccoon,
and they would get very dressed up and they were
very well mannered and nice, and we accommodated them.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Hold on, let me get this shirt. So the couple
with the stuffed raccoon were nothing but nice. Yeah, but
these other people, like the eggs Benedit guy, are making
servers wipe their feet off.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
It sounds like he needed new sneakers anyway.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Right, What a wacky world. Oh my god.
Speaker 23 (38:47):
One time as a server, I was left two cents
for my tip. But little did they know that one
of the pennies was an eighteen sixty four Civil War
era Indian headpenny. And I'm a collector, so
