This morning on the Billy and Lisa Show, the conversation took a weird turn as they dived into the world of quirky coworkers and the weirdness that comes with them. From the infamous James, who used to work at the station and had a fake radio show, to the mysterious "night people" who allegedly target Billy, the hosts shared some hilarious and cringe-worthy stories about the people they've encountered in the workplace.

The conversation also touched on the topic of social media, where the hosts discussed the things that annoy them the most. From the algorithm to sympathy seeking, they shared their thoughts on the latest trends and how they affect our daily lives. They also took calls from listeners who shared their own pet peeves about social media, including the over-sharing of food and the constant posting of updates on LinkedIn.

The hosts also reminisced about their own experiences with weird coworkers, including a producer who would disappear for hours at a time and a nurse who wore a Grateful Dead t-shirt under her scrubs. They also shared some crazy stories about concerts, including a caller who described a wild experience at a Jack Harlow show.

If you're curious about the weird world of coworkers and the latest social media trends, tune in to this episode of the Billy and Lisa Show to hear more about the hosts' hilarious and cringe-worthy stories.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this morning show in Boston.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Billy and Lisa in the morning. It's just a great
start to my day.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
On Kiss one aweight.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
Good morning, everybody, Welcome, Welcome to the Billy and Lisa Show.
Justin Billy and Lisa on a Wednesday morning. So much
to get to this morning. First of all, Noah Con.
It is Noah Con week here in Boston. Several more
shows sold out at Fenway in The Noah contest is ongoing.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
If you want to score a last minute.

Speaker 4 (00:28):
Tis all you have to do is well stream Kiss
one to wait on the iHeartRadio app and leave a
talkback every time you hear a Noah kN song.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
It's that easy, so.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Make it good. Make sure you're listening. You can enter
as many times as possible. Tap the red microphone when
you hear a Noah song and let us know, plead
your case and you could win.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
So I want to start with this.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
We were talking about weird coworkers list Do you remember
why we had this conversation where it started?

Speaker 6 (00:53):
Well, we were listening to old clips of the John
and James Show and there was an old employee that
used to work here named James Raji and you know
Justin was pulling up all these like hilarious clips of
him doing this fake radio show.

Speaker 5 (01:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
What also started because Billy was doing weird things this morning,
like complaining about everybody arout in the building. And that's
how I got to James, because we were thinking about
the weirdest coworkers we've ever had, and James, the former
intern slash employee, is probably the weirdest of all time,
even weird of them.

Speaker 7 (01:25):
Oh, he gets the title hands down, Like he's in
a totally different league than me if I'm weird.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
So he used to work here back on the Maddie
in the morning show, and he was an intern. Then
he got hired and he was kind of a producer
slash he was on air sometimes. But then one day
we discovered that he was in a separate studio during
the show recording demos and.

Speaker 5 (01:47):
Like audition tapes for other radio stations, you know, for
his own Yeah, but it was his own show. So
his name was James, but he had a partner named John,
who no one knew who John was.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
John wasn't in the radio business, no, But.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
It was the John and James Show.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's the John and James Show.

Speaker 7 (02:04):
Okay, But to be clear, it was never a show. No,
it was just a make believe show that he would record.
And by the way, the John part of the show
was also made up. He didn't exist.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
No, apparently we asked them if John is his best friend,
but John lives somewhere else in the country. I just
don't understand why it was the John and James Show
and not the James and John Show.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Right, that's weird.

Speaker 8 (02:28):
It's time for Boston supporting show John Hunt and.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
James kiss.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
So old school listeners probably remember this. This is a
big deal on the show because he.

Speaker 7 (02:45):
Got caught, Yeah, we uncovered it making audition tapes to
him to the competition.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
He was making them during the show, that.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Was the big thing. If he was recording them after
the show, that would be different. But he would just
disappear and be in another studio and no one knew
what he was doing.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
But the other weird thing, if you listen that never
happens in the business, that he also made himself the
voice of the intro to him.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
He was the imaging guy. He was introducing him.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Yeah, he was having fun though.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Hey, it's John and James on Kiss.

Speaker 9 (03:19):
Up.

Speaker 8 (03:20):
We've got Demie Lovado on the show next half hour.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's a great new song.

Speaker 8 (03:24):
Oh hard on you.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's going everywhere.

Speaker 8 (03:26):
Everybody loves they We're gonna talk to you about that
and a bunch more too, because you don't like the
chat of course, James.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
But here's the thing, here's my theory.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
If that existed now, he would be a huge hit
on social like he would yeah for the young generations
now he would be the thing on social media.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Oh you're not listening to John and James. Oh they're
so funny.

Speaker 4 (03:53):
It is some truth to that, because you never know
what's poppy, what's gonna be popular rights not on social media,
but imagine his This poor kid though, like we out
of them and then played all these clips on the air.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
They were never meant to be heard. I'm just.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Letdy gog you and I Letty go go just went away.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
Okay, So again it got us talking about weird people
that are working around you know, like this building.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Weird people in the office.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
Every office has a weirdout right that you see in
the kitchen, or they're lingering too long somewhere, they use
the bathroom too.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Long, or they don't flush.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Something's going on.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
There's a non flusher in the building.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
Every day, the bathroom down the hall, not the one
where you exit the area, but the singular bathroom down
the hall. Every single morning, somebody poops and doesn't flush,
and there are.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
A lot of signs up saying like make sure are
you double flush?

Speaker 7 (05:00):
And that's weird, right, so that person is weird among us.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, and then there's also, right, Lisa, the beef between
Billy and the night people. Yes, oh, the quote unquote
night people. We don't know who these people are, but
he's convinced that they come in and they only target him.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Yeah, in his desk, in his computer. That's the only bill.

Speaker 8 (05:27):
The Ken did. Microphone, No one ever knows when he's
talking into the candid microphone.

Speaker 7 (05:33):
These people at night, I'm telling you, they operate on
all fours. They just crawl around like beetles. It's like
amazing the low level of humanity that they are. Like,
I'm surprised they even speak our language. You Usually they
just communicate with noises, you know, because their arms are
really short and their legs are longer than their arms,

(05:55):
and they walk on their fingertips.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
These people work here.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
The microphone, Lisa who's weirder, the non flusher or Billy Man?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know, stuff different like pop into your brain.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
I don't know, but thoughts like that are constantly occupying
my brain.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, just.

Speaker 7 (06:21):
Like when you hear that, you have to understand that's
really coming from my brain. Like these things float around
in my cranium.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
We hear it every day every morning.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, going off, But yeah, I mean, Billy's definitely one
of the weirder ones here.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Very strange. You have strange thoughts.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
About the night crawlers, about salespeople, oh everybody.

Speaker 8 (06:46):
McCabe Okay, the Ken did microphone. No one ever knows
when he's talking into the candid microphone.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
You won't be telling us how to do our show?

Speaker 7 (07:00):
Was that last time you saw somebody knocking at the
door for a McKay bodyguard? And I love McCabe's a
nice guy, and I really do love McCain.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we all do McCain. It's not the right woman,
it's not I really love McKay.

Speaker 7 (07:17):
But let's be honest, A little weird, right, I mean
he goes to concerts alone.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
I mean that's like is okay, oh yeah, but that's
what he likes doing that he likes because he likes
it and he's you know, he's involved with picking our
music and yeah, he is stay connected.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, he's heavily involved on Kiss Want to Wait. But
he goes to a lot of shows solo, which some
people do in solo travel and just stands up back.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah. I guess he would be kind of a weirder
coworker McCabe. I think so, I a.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
Coworker who would need lunch.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I was too happy.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
That was an interesting one.

Speaker 10 (07:49):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
The two happy ones, they're always happy. They want with that,
but like we know you, we know.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You're upset sometimes, right, show that other side of you.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yeah, and that's the interesting side. The ones that overdo
it with happiness are miserable.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Right because they're happy all the time and they're putting
on show me the other side.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Anyway, our phone number eight seven seven six one seven eight.
Are you like Billy or do you have a Billy
at your work? Give us a call. We want to
talk to you or leave us a talk back on
the iHeartRadio speak like the small arms calling around.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
From the planet Fitness Kiss one Await Studios. We're back
with Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Okay, the conversation today is a weird one.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
We may end up in trouble with a lot of people,
but we're talking about you know, like most people have
a weird person in the workplace. That doesn't mean a negative,
it's just weird, strange.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, yeah, there's just a lot of different personalities, yes, right,
you know, and sometimes people can be annoying or yeah,
a little weird.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
Do weird things, you know. Billy is probably one of
the weird ones here. We're all weird in the.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Sense he says some really weird things.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
Oh my god, all the rants he has over the years.
It's been so many.

Speaker 11 (09:13):
Talk directly to me, then let's see how it works out. Yeah,
be looking for a new face in the morning. Why
talk about me, talk to me. Come in here right now.
Shave the skin right off your face.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yeah, so that's where the conversation came from.

Speaker 7 (09:37):
I don't know why it's that it caused the conversation
because those are made up tapes that you edit and
create magic.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
But that's okay. Of course.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Hey, it's Sarah for Maine and I.

Speaker 12 (09:48):
Actually have a weird coworker in the sense that it's
a hilario Baldwin situation where she speaks with the British accent,
refers to herself as a brit She basically has told
everyone that she's British, but then some of our coworkers
sent out she's actually from Maine. She only lived in
England from ages like nineteen to twenty seven and has

(10:10):
been living in Maine since nineteen ninety eight, but literally
talks like she's British.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
I think some people, if they can speak with a
British accent, they think it's more sophisticated.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yes, well that's Hilaria Baldwin. Yes, that's the exact same story.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well hers is Spanish, hers is yeah, Spain.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Really is actually Hillary from Boston.

Speaker 13 (10:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Madonna used to have a weird like English acts.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
She goes in and out.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah really, Oh yeah, it's very strange.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Britney spears does it occasionally with some weird acts.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well we're not talking about Brittany no wit.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
No, we closed the door and we close it unless
there's a positive update for getting some help.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Then we move on.

Speaker 14 (10:52):
I feel like most people that work in medicine are
a little weird.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
But I'm a nurse.

Speaker 14 (10:57):
I worked in an intensive care unit in a little
local hospital, and we had an amazing uh intensivist I
see you, doctor, that was amazing, super smart. But every
time we had somebody like dying or I'm gonna have
to talk with the family about removing life support, he
would wear a grateful dead t shirt Undernita scrubs.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh that's so weird. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (11:24):
Bill?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Don't laugh?

Speaker 5 (11:25):
Oh, Riley turned his micae off.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's so weird.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I knew this would have.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
I don't even know what to say.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
About that either.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, see here, here's the thing.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
If you're weird, and yeah I think I am. You're
a fan of weirdness, you know, you appreciate weirdness.

Speaker 15 (11:47):
You know, m.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
You know, historically we've had some in the building, you know,
just a little different.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:58):
But on the other hand, they could think that difference.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh and it works both ways.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
You know, we're we're not calling people out, but kind
we kind of are, and they could be calling us out.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
We are the aliens in this building. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Wait, and I'm okay with the strange noises. No, he
does make strange noises. Oh yeah, yeah, no, in a
weird way. We are you know what I'll go further.

Speaker 7 (12:25):
We are the weird corner of the building that people
avoid so long as we're here.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
People really try to keep a distance.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
And they did put us in the corner.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
If you think about it, you think that an accident
on the far side. Yeah, no, one really comes.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Okay, I'm following.

Speaker 16 (12:42):
I have a really weird corker right now that disappears
all the time.

Speaker 10 (12:47):
And when I called.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
Him on Thursday, because we.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Work in a hospital, if we wear these things around.

Speaker 17 (12:54):
Our next weeks of each.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Other and I call them and like, hey, like where
are you?

Speaker 18 (12:58):
He been missing for an hour?

Speaker 9 (13:00):
And he was like in the shower.

Speaker 19 (13:03):
He was taking a shower on the clock.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Leaves for hour.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
That's really See, that's strange, that's weird.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah, yeah, we really can't disappear. No, you want to
have that type of job. Although Billy did once leave
early the show.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Don't you run the stairs sometimes?

Speaker 4 (13:23):
I did after I had knee surgery, Yeah, and I would.
I did my physical therapy on the backstairs.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Weird. Oh No, to the average person here, you're very weird.
I mean we know it.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
We're close to it, so we don't think anything about it.
But you easily could be the weirdest person in the company.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
With your life and fifty radio stations.

Speaker 7 (13:48):
Possibly because of your obsession with you and what you
have to do every day to maintain you, which is
a positive thing. Right, You're in great shape. You do
eat nothing but great food, positive food, healthy food, clean food.
You exercise every day. You cold plunge you, you know,

(14:10):
you hot plunge whatever.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I'm not getting the weird part, Lisa, that he has
weird There is no You're unlike anyone else here.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Well, they should be get on my level, right, No,
come doing the team's.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Part of the weirdity.

Speaker 7 (14:23):
You judge everybody well no, well, in my head, yes,
and your little skull everybody that walks past you, you're
immediately judging that.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Well, everybody could benefit from a cold plunge.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
I think, okay, but that's your opinion. You would it
would help them, So you look down on them?

Speaker 4 (14:42):
No, no, no, no, no, no no no. I don't look
down on them. I just think, hey, you know what,
if somebody bothers me and they're in the building, I
think if they did a cold plunge, maybe they would
be nicer.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 20 (14:55):
Sometimes to get through these weird co workers and or
and are bad co workers.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
You gotta have some nicknames, you.

Speaker 20 (15:01):
Know, make fun light of it, like et they always
want to go home, or we got motion light only
works when someone's coming or season, or you got U
turn can turn any simple little thing into something difficult,
and we got side Quest, one of my personal favorites.
Can turn any simple task into a three hour adventure.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one O eight Studios. We're
back with Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
Hey, what's up everybody?

Speaker 4 (15:27):
Good morning, Welcome into the Billy and Lisa Show on
a Wednesday morning, and not just any Wednesday. It's the
morning after the first Noah Khan show at Fenway Park,
the first of four sold out shows. Producer Riley A
lifelong Dream was in the house. Riley Moments highlights talk to.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Us well, justin.

Speaker 13 (15:45):
I think that might have been one of my favorite
concerts in a long time. My voice is actually still
horse this morning. Only got a couple hours of sleep,
but it was all worth it to see Noah Kahn
in the pouring rain. I don't think the rain let
up at all, but Noah Khan was extremely excited to
be back home at Fenway Park.

Speaker 7 (16:06):
I'm guys a lot and.

Speaker 15 (16:10):
The rest set up after the last time I played
here that I might never be back here, and y'all
fold out four and I just listen to.

Speaker 21 (16:17):
History of This ball Park.

Speaker 13 (16:19):
It was an amazing mix of some of his older
stuff in this new album. The stage setup was really cool.
I loved when you played dial drunk. And one thing
about Noah is he is always going to be super
grateful to his fans, but he's also going to throw
in a lot of jokes.

Speaker 20 (16:36):
I know, think it for expensive and that folks made
today and had to spend a lot of money more
than you went at the common Man for one for
don so oh it's too expensive gral sign.

Speaker 13 (16:48):
And another really cool moment is that we got a
little cameo from Drake May. Overall, just an amazing, amazing
show and that was only night one.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Guys, what did we learn?

Speaker 5 (17:08):
All right?

Speaker 4 (17:09):
So three more shows at Fenway If you want to
win last minute tickets, we have the Noah contest going
on right now. Every time you hear Noah khn song
on Kiss want to wait and you're listening on the
iHeart app, you want to leave a talk back a

how you can possibly when last minute Noah con tickets.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Good luck.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
And speaking of Noah, some crazy stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Has been happening at his shows, Like people have been
pooping their pants at the shows and throwing it on
the floor. Crazy crazy stuff happens at concerts. Let's go
to Gwyneth in Boston.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
What's up? Gwyneth's all right.

Speaker 9 (17:43):
So I went to a Jack Harlow concert at the
House of Blues, probably like two or three years ago,
and it was like three things happened, and it just
kept getting crazier. So we bought our tickets like last
minute on a resale website and get to the door
and we're like getting checked in by this guy who's

(18:03):
like wedding and his like pupils are like bigger than
the iris of his eyes witch and he's telling me that,
like my tickets aren't working. I'm like, I just bought
them off sub hub, like I don't know, and he's
like okay, step to the side, and he's like checking
people in and he's like ignoring us, and I'm like

(18:25):
I tell my friend, I'm like, he's just like he's
on drugs. Like, let's just go in. So we just
go in. We get better spot in the house than
we had even bought, so it seemed like they had
oversold the place. Like once the concert started happening, we
were star deemed, and there were these college boys next
to us who also seemed like their pupils where bigger

(18:48):
than their irishes, and they were having like a really
good time at the show. I was like, this is
Jack Carlow, not the Grateful Dead. What's going on? Yeah,
But so these guys were like pushing us. So my
friend like pushes this fun guy and he dumps his
drink on her out of anger, and we're like, okay,
we gotta like get out of here to a safer spot.

(19:09):
And we moved to a safer spot, and then all
of a sudden, we are in the middle of a
fist fight between like a man who is hard of
hearing and this other guy who I don't know's like crazy,
and this crazy guy tries to like pull out his
like co clear implant thing.

Speaker 10 (19:27):
It's like magnetized, like the ones that I'm like magnetic.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Oh yeah, the one attached to your skull.

Speaker 9 (19:42):
So right, so we start to like pull up that
and that's when the like heart of hearing guy he
locked in and he like beats.

Speaker 10 (19:50):
The crap out of that guy.

Speaker 9 (19:53):
And we were like all right, all right, Like that
was all in the span of like the first fifteen
minutes of being there.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
The weird are like, yeah, anybody thrown out?

Speaker 9 (20:05):
Well, So we went to try to like tell the
security guard like this guy is doing whatever, and security
guard looked at us like like yeah, which guy point
him out? And we like pointed him out and he
sort of just like nodded to us.

Speaker 7 (20:20):
I just need to know did the cochular ear implants
survived the fight.

Speaker 9 (20:25):
It was like dangling, like.

Speaker 10 (20:30):
Not appetized to his skull anymore.

Speaker 9 (20:34):
It was crazy.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Well, good one, thanks for the call. Wow, that's crazy
things happening at concerts. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
I like how everyone's pupils were so everyone's messed up.

Speaker 22 (20:49):
Happy Monday. This is cam. It's not crazy, it's just gross.
I took my daughter years and years ago to our
first concert Creed all excited, jammed in the garden like
Sadin is the girl in front of.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Us totally wasted.

Speaker 22 (21:03):
She did nothing but throw up the entire concert, the splashing,
the stench, the wretching. That's all you could hear waiting
first Scott to sing you.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Can you do Me Higher?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
And that's all we could hear throwing.

Speaker 17 (21:16):
Up thirty minutes from Houston, Texas.

Speaker 15 (21:28):
And one year the mayor of my town got Vanilla
Ice to perform at Fourth of July Festival and no
one ever believes me into a show my video it
was the funniest thing ever.

Speaker 17 (21:41):
He was performing the nineties and Ninja Turtle song. It
was funny.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
Noah, Ice Baby, Ice, Ice Baby.

Speaker 4 (21:50):
He's in the news right now because he's he was
going to do the two fiftieth.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh yeah, he pulled out and then I know he
didn't pull up.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Yeah he was.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
He's the only one the last.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
Well, what else you got going on?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh boy?

Speaker 17 (22:07):
All right?

Speaker 4 (22:07):
We got Sara from Maine here with a little PSA
for the callers of this show.

Speaker 23 (22:10):
It's your girl, Sarah from Maine. And this is a
PSA to everyone who called into this show and has
the privilege of actually sharing their story on air. Make
it three sentences fit your story, as if it's a
talk back. If you're going on and on and on
and on. You've lost us, You've lost the plot. This

(22:32):
is not your podcast, this is a morning show. Make
it quick, three sentences, Max, get to the point and
then get off the phone.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Get to the point.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
I know it's tough though, because you want to hear
the end of the story.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
And you don't want to be rude either.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Eventually, we like the tall woman, you know, that was
like t went on, Oh my god, like did you
split the towel or not?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
You know, that's what we want to know. Oh boy,
so much crazy stuff.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
I'm trying to think. There was another one too.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
Oh the Kanye concert that I went to at the
TD Guard and that was one of the most insane
concerts of all time. Yeah, it was like complete madness.
The march lines are a big issue at shows because
the lines are just so long and then once you
get up there, it's like a wash pit in the
march line.

Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yeah, that happened to me at Boston Calling. I waited
in a march line for two hours.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
And didn't Taylor when she came with the Ears tour.
She had the trucks with the merch there at like
six in the.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Morning or something.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, and there were still lines.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
They were lining up at five am.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Prett shirt. Oh god, so long.

Speaker 18 (23:35):
As the most recent Charlie Pooth concert in Boston in May,
people were calling for a medic and he heard so
he stopped what he was saying and he asked for
the nedict to come and attend to a woman who
was on the floor, and they attended to her and
everybody applauded, and he continued on that he's just a

(23:58):
lovely human being.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
Yeah, Charlie's the best. Yeah, he's the best.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
And it seems like that's been happening a lot the
last year or two, where you know, people are passing
out in the stands and the artist will stop the
tour and make sure the person is taking care of.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Not Travis Scott. Oh that was a tragedy. That was horrible.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
That was that was not handled.

Speaker 8 (24:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Does it does?

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Simon the bomb throwing up on me? Does that count?

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Show?

Speaker 24 (24:23):
Know?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Is that like an interview after the show? Oh?

Speaker 5 (24:26):
It to tod to the show, but it's part of
the event.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah. So you're just sitting there, one on one.

Speaker 6 (24:32):
Standing waiting, Yeah, and he's at the bar pounding shots. Yeah,
that's when David Cory said you have to interview him,
and I was like, oh.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
He's not really like coherent, so.

Speaker 6 (24:42):
There, and then he just yeah, hurls right all down
the front of my shirt.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
I was that's a good one. What do you think.

Speaker 6 (24:51):
I don't think anyone else could ever claim that, right, No,
the entire world.

Speaker 7 (24:55):
No, No, I don't think that many people got that
close to Simon Bond, right, you know what they say.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
You know, sometimes you choke on it, kissed.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
We were talking off the air a couple of minutes
ago about social media and what about social media really
annoys us? And apparently Lisa, there's a whole list of
things that annoy people.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Well, on lest the trends could be something that annoys people. Yeah,
all the new trends, like that's the newest trendy you
want trend It's so true.

Speaker 6 (25:27):
But I do have a few on this list that
I think we can probably all agree on. The First
one is the algorithm, the non chronological feat It's frustrating
for a lot of people when you're not seeing what
you want to see right.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Another one is sympathy in order and not in order.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Another one is sympathy seeking I'm making cryptic posts to
get attention, but refusing to elaborate in the comments really annoying.
Another one is humble bragging, posting a photo to brag
while pretending itself deprecating.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I give you an example of that. It would be
doing what. Yeah, I'll just leave that one all. Yeah,
we'll just see that.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
I'm gonna move on. Another one is.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Over sharing children that constantly posting photos of your kids.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
So here's the thing about that.

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Like for me personally, I understand that people get very
upset when people criticize their kids or say anything about
their kids. I know one hundred percent when I post
my kids that people don't like it. I don't some
people do, and some people don't like. They don't care.
They don't like my kids or my family.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
It's that they don't really, they just don't care about
I know.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
But I know that when I post, I just for
anyone that ever asked me or says anything to me
about it. If you follow me on social media, I'm
gonna post things like work and family because that's my life,
you know what I mean. But I understand you don't
want to see my kids, and I'm perfectly fine. With that,
but I don't want to see them either. Call me crazy.

Speaker 7 (26:54):
What if you're constantly posting your children, how are you
going to explain to them to get off the screen
and when.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
They get a little bit older. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
I mean the screen time issue is a big issue
with children, and it's.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
Hard to get in the way from it if you've
been putting them on screen time yourself.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, you also have to be careful with kids too.
It's like there's weird people out there.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
Well, this is constantly posting photos of kids who can't
consent to their lives being documented.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
That's like a big thing. The other one is airing personal.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Drama, posting intimate personal financial or family drama publicly just
to get attention.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
Yep, happens all the time. Facebook is infamous for that,
or to trigger or go fund me. Well a lot
of people do that.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
The the funding thing is is a it serves a
good purpose. It really does in most cases.

Speaker 7 (27:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, But like if you're putting a go fund me
up for like you need a new car, you know,
help help me get a new car?

Speaker 5 (27:50):
Can you donate to my goal?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Some people get one.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Yeah, yeah, Like I have a friend now that's battling cancer,
and is it go fund me for him?

Speaker 1 (27:56):
And it's doing very very well. Yeah, so it does certain,
it's absolutely absolutely.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
We were talking off the air about the lip thing.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
Oh my god, this is my aid number one.

Speaker 7 (28:07):
I don't know who started it, why it exists, and
why it's constant, just the posing for a picture on
social and it's always like you're holding a drink at
a bar somewhere or you know, we have to see
what you're having for dinner.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
That's another one. The food. I don't care what you're eating.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
That's a big one.

Speaker 7 (28:24):
You know, don't show me the plate at dinner time.
But it's the pursing of the lips. So the tersing
what do they call it when they roll.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Up the dust? The Kardashian Why is.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
That still going on?

Speaker 1 (28:38):
Who started that?

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Oh god, yeah, yeah, I see it's it was really
pick Okay, they'll do it into the camera.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
There's a camera in fronty. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
But do you guys like the food posting the constant
like this is what I had for dinner?

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Well, there's two different types for me, right what Bill saying,
you're showing your dinner? I understand that food influences are
great for me. It's the people who are gorging on food. Yeah,
the muck bangs.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's disturbing.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
And what's sad is that they're killing themselves.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
They're not only killing themselves, but their followers are.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Cheering them on.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
Yes, yeah, every time you get a new follower, that
follower is someone that knows you're trying to kill yourself.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
Well, they're also generating income because to all the engagement
of people that it's rage baiting essentially it is, you know,
so they're commenting and liking it, and they're sharing the
post to all their friends, and that they're making money
from it.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
But they're killed at least twelve muck bangers that you
watch every day.

Speaker 5 (29:31):
Well, we talked about algorithm. Yeah, my whole algorithm is
people doing muckbangs.

Speaker 7 (29:37):
Like giant amounts of food, yeah, piled on top of
each other, and they're gonna sit and eat it in
one sitting.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
But it's actually there is a sad element to this.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
There's one in particular who weighs about five hundred pounds
and if you scroll down on his page you can
see just a couple of years ago he weighed about.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
One hundred and fifty pounds.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Wow, so he's gained all this weight from eating on
soulie because he just.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Wants the attention. It's it's it's people. Well, they're they're.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
Addicted to negative attention, yes, in a lot of ways,
and social media is just driving that.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
And people pay them to eat more. Yes, yep, you
keep eating, here's more money. Yeah, Like, what is going on?

Speaker 4 (30:16):
My wife and I have a going way back when
we first got together with Facebook and into you know,
Instagram and TikTok. We have a rule in our marriage
where we do not put any of our drama or
fights or anything, no subliminal posts, nothing about our personal
marriage on right.

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Right, And I one hundred percent agree with you, Like,
there's no place for that.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
But it is funny though, because you can always tell
when people break up. You know, it's the subliminal post thing.
It's the changing of the profile picture, like you know,
when stuff's going on.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, you know, wow, Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 18 (30:52):
One thing I hate that people do on social media
is post about this big news they got coming.

Speaker 25 (30:58):
They can't wait to tell you, and then you never
hear about it.

Speaker 20 (31:02):
Just spit it out, don't make us wait because whatever
you've got to say probably isn't that important anyways.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Well, yeah, that's like a that's like a radio rule, right,
you never tease something and not follow through.

Speaker 6 (31:13):
Well that was on this list, like sympathy seeking, making
cryptic posts and then not following up on them.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
Right, Yeah, putting something out there and then just leaving.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
It alone, letting just burn.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:24):
I also don't like the stupid trend things like, you know,
a person just posing and doing something stupid on TikTok
or something. In fact, if my producer is listening over
to meet Boston Dining Playbook right now, they're expecting me
to do a couple of those today, which I will
not be doing.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
I'm making this formal announcement, Lisa.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
He will want to know there's some new because they
send me a video of an example, and it's just
you're walking down the street mining your business and then
a couple of people walk by and you screaming shout
in their face for no reason.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
But why would I do that?

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Every trend it's on the dining plate playbott against.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
My will I know.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
But again, if you're listening.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Producer, yeah, don't even asked today no, I think.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
That Billy will do it.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
He's just lashing out right now because because this is
a safe space for him.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
But later he's going to do it.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
I'm ay.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
It's the radio show. Don't pay atten, this is the TV.

Speaker 13 (32:21):
Now it's Topic Time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 7 (32:25):
Topic Time presented by Catches Law Group, New England's Personal
injury Experts.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
If you've been heard on the job through no fault
of your own, by the way.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Especially nurses, if you're listening, set up a free consult
at catches law dot com. Uh So, we're going over
a list of things that just annoy the hell out of.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
People on social media, on TikTok whatever.

Speaker 7 (32:45):
Let's go to the phones. So Lucy wants to chime
in and Walpole, good.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Morning, Lucy, good morning. What do you hate?

Speaker 9 (32:54):
I hate?

Speaker 3 (32:55):
I don't mind the food videos, but I hate when
they make it the ASMR and they choose so like
closely to the microphone and you hear everything that they're
eating and chewing. Yes, that is the worst.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Yeah, because that's fairly new too.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
Now they have the handheld mic, the little handheld mic
that they so that sound can be clearer.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, the food.

Speaker 7 (33:17):
Food is out of control on social It's a food,
it's a meal.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
But let me like Billy, you know, Billy has a
lets me meet Boston right a TV show in a
food show, your influencers on there.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
I do love a lot of the.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Boston influencers and they do a great job.

Speaker 5 (33:32):
I really do. I follow a bunch of them. I
think they're fantastic.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
But I just don't like when people try to do
the food influencing thing and they kind of don't do
it well or I don't put enough effort into it.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
Like the chewing thing.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
I can understand that. You know, they no one wants
to hear you chewing. Yeah, it's gross.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Luckily, our humpsters on Meat Boston, by the way, on
Nesson are thoroughly trained there.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
They're trained professionals.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
Yeah, Or they don't do the correct editing where you know,
when you take a bite and this food on your mouth,
they don't edit that out and go to the next shot.
They leave the food on their mouth and they're trying
to review the food, but all you're thinking about is
the cole sloth.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
That's on their upper lip.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, wipe your mouth please.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Yeah. I do like that. I like the guy that's
on your show. I think his name is Key.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Key. He's good.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
We want to be a stay at home dad. Yeah,
he has a good profile.

Speaker 7 (34:21):
Yeah, he's very good. AJ's great, Sean and Boston is awesome.
Let's go to Kristin.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
She's in Debtam Kristin. What do you hate about social allow? TikTok?

Speaker 25 (34:31):
I totally hate when people right, hey, hope the testes
will come back okay, and then cricket. This is the
reason I'm off social media because then you see them out,
you're wondering if they're okay. Do I bring it up?
Don't I bring it up? They never mentioned it again.
You start prayer circles, you want to launch specialists at
them for god knows what, and you still have no

(34:51):
idea what's wrong with them?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yeah, you lost me at the beginning.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Can you say it again?

Speaker 25 (34:57):
When people on social media Facebook, especially, hope the test
results come out okay, and then you see them out
and about and you can't ask, you ask because they
never said anything again. They put the prayer hands up
and you're like, oh God, are they all right?

Speaker 10 (35:17):
Do you need something?

Speaker 25 (35:17):
Could I get you anything? Nothing?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
That's the worst thing.

Speaker 25 (35:20):
Ever and you become consumed in it.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Well that's that sympathy seeking and the addiction to attention thing. Yeah, yeah,
good one. Justin you got talkbacks in there too.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
Right, let's go to Susie real quick and Wellesley, she's
been on hold.

Speaker 7 (35:34):
Oh hey, Susie, sorry for putting you on hold. But
it's a hot topic. That's why we call it topic time.

Speaker 21 (35:39):
What have you got, Susie that they okay when pregnant
women show their bellies big belly pictures. I mean, we
know you're pregnant, but why do you need a mid
drift and hip huggers to show everyone every week the veins,
the popped out belly button on and be done with it?

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Where something pretty and be done with it? Yeah, I
know exactly what you're talking about. Well, a lot of celebrities.

Speaker 7 (36:11):
I think they started it right on the coverage of magazine.

Speaker 6 (36:13):
Well to me, Moore was the first one, remember yeah,
oh yeah, ye iconic yep, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 16 (36:19):
The thing I hate the most is when the influencers
are posting and trying new things and they do that
click clack with their nails on the whatever it is,
and then they're so dramatic like, oh my gosh, guys,
oh my god, this is amazing.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
I've seen it.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
It's everywhere.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Well, it's kind of like a you know, snowball effect.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
It is you start seeing other people do it, and
then you do it, and some people do it really well.

Speaker 5 (36:47):
Other people just come off as annoying.

Speaker 16 (36:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (36:49):
Something that bothers me to my core about social media
is how much people care about social media.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 19 (36:59):
It's just this thing in this world that people care
way too much about.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Bother that's through core. But you can't get away from it.
That's the thing.

Speaker 7 (37:10):
And the same people who are complaining about it are
the same people who are going, We're.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Right back at it.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
It's addicting. Yeah, it's very addicting.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
And that's part of the reason why I wanted to
start reading is to get off of social media at night.
You know, it's important for me to be on it
because of work. That's not just an excuse. Yeah, I
get a lot of my stuff on social media, but
on it like scrolling, doom scrolling all night long.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
It's terrible.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
And speaking of you know, we're talking about trends. That's
a trend now people are more and more trying to
get away from it.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Like you said, you're reading.

Speaker 7 (37:39):
We did a whole story a week or two ago
a topic time on the show about even gen z
ers now who are putting down knitting.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Yeah, agen z is they're also not drinking, not having sex. Yes,
it's a whole new world out there.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
Yeah, let's go to Kat and Milton. She doesn't like LinkedIn?
What's up with that?

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Hey, Cat, what's up in? Milton?

Speaker 13 (38:00):
Hi?

Speaker 24 (38:01):
Thanks for having me. Okay, people don't think of this
as a social media app, but it has become one. LinkedIn.
I'm all for networking, I'm all for growing your career,
but the updates on LinkedIn have gotten so.

Speaker 9 (38:14):
Over the top lately, meaning what explain.

Speaker 24 (38:19):
Like you know, kind of using it to you know,
like just at least it was just kind of saying
it on some social on some other apps is just
like you know, you say, like oh, new chapter loading soon,
like just tell us where you're going, or getting updates
that are just yeah much like yes, yes, exactly.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Nobody cares Kat, right at the end of the day, nobody.

Speaker 24 (38:47):
Right, No, it's it's your job. Nobody really cares. Like
everyone hopes you do well, but it's just a job.

Speaker 7 (38:54):
Well, they're all like the star of their own little movie,
you know, essentially, Yeah, it is.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
Well.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
You know my best friend zeb Yeah, we love. He's
big on social media. His dream when he was a
kid was to be an actor, and that was his
lifelong dream. He wanted to do movies and he never
kind of went down that road and social media has
kind of given given him that link.

Speaker 7 (39:16):
And with the cardigan sweaters.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
I love his little dances.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Yeah, he's great.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Great.

Speaker 19 (39:24):
One time, my aunt posted a Facebook live of my
uncle who came home drunk and later than he should
have tried to get in the house, but she couldn't
because she locked him out, and she went live with
it as he was screaming and they were fighting, and
it was an entire life for the whole family and
all of her Facebook friends to see, absolutely mortifying their divorce.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
Now, yes, and I'd follow that, I mean, where are
they anything? I would follow?

Speaker 4 (39:55):
But that sparked another one for me that drives me
crazy is going live live all the time. That's showing nothing.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (40:05):
That's dicey going live?

Speaker 26 (40:06):
Yeah, good morning guys, especially Billy, you don't really chap
my ass online is when I'm on Billy's profile and
I see his nice picture of him with the nice
button down shirt. It's like Billy unbuttoned a few buns, dude,
share the wealth.

Speaker 9 (40:26):
Oh, let's go.

Speaker 5 (40:29):
To Christen and Bridgewak.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Christian, please step in. What have we got for us? Christian?

Speaker 9 (40:36):
Good morning.

Speaker 27 (40:37):
So my social media pet peeve is when people post
on social media they make this big, long post about
how they need to take a break from social media
and just keep posting on social media about the break
that they need to take.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, that means they have exactly.

Speaker 7 (40:56):
Yeah, it's it's hard to know what to believe on
social media half the time. But earlier that message, earlier
about the fight live, fight at the door, the guy
comes home drawnk something like that could end up in
tragically it's true, and you're going live.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
It's you're kind of.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Making light of something that's it's not that light.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Well, they're divorced now, I'm right saying.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Think about how many divorces happened from social media? Yeah right,
I can't even imagine all the drama that comes off.
Oh my god, I have so many talkbacks on this
as so many people are calling about this topic.

Speaker 1 (41:29):
It's crazy.

Speaker 20 (41:30):
Pay those stories you can add on Instagram where it's
like ad yours and it's like.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
My boyfriend, my lover, or like National Boyfriend Day. Oh please, Stephane.
He's probably cheating on you.
