Speaker 1 (06:36):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios. We're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Hey guys, welcome back. So there was a bombshell in
the Brian Walsh courtroom yesterday. We've got our reporter from WBCTV,
Penny Commit, on the phone. Good morning, Penny, Good morning.
I oh now you were there. Did anybody see this
coming at all? Did you have any warning this was
gonna happen? He pleads guilty to two of the three counts.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Oh my gosh, absolutely not. When we're sitting in there
and we start to hear the words change of plea please,
you know, all the reporters were teping out, our labbers,
trying to get sit up for the day. We all
kind of like sit up straight or start looking around.
Oh boy, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, before we go any further, let's play that clip
from inside the courtroom yesterday.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Sir, you're pleading guilty to these two indictments because you
wish to plead guilty because you are guilty.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
That is correct?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Mister Walsh. Did you in fact willfully remove or convey
the body of Anna Walsh or her remains, not being lawfully.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Authorized to do so?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Yes, Kara, do you now plead guilty to these indictments
willingly and voluntarily?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yes, Kara. So Penny at the courtroom, was that a
oh my god moment?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Absolutely? Like I said, no one saw that coming.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
But Penny, what, what's the strategy behind this? Do you think?
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Well?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Who's to say? So he still is on trial for
first degree murder. Now, we've talked to legal analysts who
say there's a lot of different strategies here. Our head
legal analyst, Jennifer Roman, thinks that maybe what his defense
is doing is positioning themselves to get that first degree
murder charge drop down to second degree murder, make a
(08:31):
deal with the prosecution, Hey, we don't even have to
do the trial. He will plead guilty to second degree murder,
which would give him the possibility of maybe getting out
of prison one day. Because first degree murder you have
no possibility for parole. That is a full life sentence.
So that's one theory. What's interesting too, is that if
his trial does move forward, they do not take any
(08:53):
type of plea deal. It's going to be a totally
different trial. On Walsh's body has never been found, so
there's always been this idea of reasonable doubt. Oh, could
she have run away and no one's ever heard from her?
Do we know for certain that she died? During this
plea change, he had to admit that Anna Walsh unfortunately
(09:14):
is gone, which was totally different. So now the trial,
if it moves forward, would be less of if she
died and how she died.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, because not only is she gone, but if he's
pleading guilty to moving the body, he knows where it is,
and that.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Was something we've never had confirmation of before that there
even was.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
A body exactly, So help most likely take the stand.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh, I would be shocked if he took the stand.
I would be kind of shocked. If the trial moved forward.
I'm leaning that they use this to negotiate some type
of plea deal to give him the possibility of proll
down the line. Of course, there is no way for
us to know for sure, and yesterday they acted like
(10:03):
they were moving forward business as usual. They called an
eighty four potential jurors, thirty five were interviewed and they
ended up seating nine.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Right, Well, here's the part I still don't get. Many.
If he's pleading guilty to moving the body, why would
he have access to the body. If he didn't commit
the murder.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Well, that's the question. They can maybe argue, oh, she
died accidentally. He was the only one that's there, and
you can't be forced to testify in your own trial.
They could paint some narrative of there's reasonable doubt that
anything happened. She tripped and fell and hit her head,
and he panicked and didn't know what to do and
moved the body, and then where she fell down the stairs.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, let's say that's the case hypothetically, right, why not
tell them now where the body is or what happened
to the body.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Well, this happened way back in twenty twenty three, and
I'm assuming that part of this plea deal he doesn't
have to give information. I will say that the prosecution
was going through the statement of facts as they do.
You know, Brian Walsh has agreed to these facts. And
for a second they mentioned a dumpster, something about putting
a body in a dumpster, and I'm so sorry for
everyone listening to be so graphic this early in the morning. Yeah,
(11:21):
but the second the prosecution said that, the defense stood
up and was like, we are not agreeing to any
specific details. Just that a body was improperly disposed and moved,
so that whole line about the dumpster was taken out.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
But did you say a couple of minutes ago that
they may cancel the trial.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well, legal analysts have hypothesized that maybe this is a
big strategy to get him a plea deal on a
lesser charge. So right now he's charged for first degree murder,
which is a full life sentence. There's no way to
note for sure. This is just you know, legal mindset
ideas out there that perhaps he's trying to get that
(12:03):
first degree murder charge down to a second degree murder charge,
take a deal on second degree, and that would offer
him the possibility of parole down the line.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, so just go off to prison, so that wouldn't
be the need for a trial. There's an agreement, we'll
see you by.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And also he could be using the fact that he
knows where the body is as a as a negotiating tactic. Yeah,
give me that in the move, give me the second
degree murder charge. I'll tell you where the body is.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well, it will be.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Really interesting to see what happens today. I think we'll
know today. I can't imagine they continue with jury selection
calling all these hundreds of people in if they plan
to take a plea deal. So I think we'll have
an idea today, but who's who's to say. I mean,
we could have several more days of jury selection left,
and these things take time. You know, these lawyers have
(12:54):
to draft these plea deals. And it looks like looking
at the paperwork they originally draft to this deal last week.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, So as it stands now, the calendar would be
that opening statements I think would happened the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Yep, wow, yep, Monday, December first.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That was a shock, man.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
The trial is expected to last three to four weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh boy, if there is one.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
If there is one, there is a trial. Oh my god, Penny,
great job. You were right there. And you know what's
interesting to us here on the Billion Lisa Morning Show, Penny,
is that the US mint canceled the Penny And we
have you on the Billion Lisa Morning Show from.

Speaker 5 (14:46):

sensitive and caring and good looking.

and says, yeah, her career may take a different direction
after this coming tour.

think it might not happen again for a long, long,
long long time.

Sure, you know.
Speaker 11 (15:40):
So I'm going to give it my all and it's

last hurrah.

Can I ask you something? What is it with celebrities
and the need to have an alcohol?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Well? It makes that money, like it's it's it makes
a lot of money. Like look what George Clooney sold
his company for.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah he really hit it big, was he?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But he was in very early on it, yeah, very early.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
But I always talk about this whenever I go to
a b I've never heard anyone order a famous liquor,
you know, if it's like can I get a vodka whatever?
Or Tito's in this? They never say, oh can I
get an espresso martini with Fletcher Azul. It's always just
you know the well you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Well, I agree, but I think that people you know,
have liquor at home too, and like I would have
Fletcher Azul in my bar at home.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh there you go, Yeah, as do I. By the way,
delivered personally by Mark Lahlberg. I love Fletcher. I should
probably get that in right.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:35):

from Yes Grace Diddy. Yeah, that was that was That
was That was one.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Of the originals.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Yeah, I mean, look at Bethany Frankel, though she had
the skinny girl that was big, cashed in.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
On that big.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Didn't she make a billion dollars?
Speaker 1 (21:49):

back then it was a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
And it was one of those fake drinks in a
model like are they pre mixed? It was pre mes Yeah,
I know what you mean. You see all these celebrities
that announced this liquor, like j Lo had a vodka. Yeah,
you never hear about it. Again.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Ryan Reynolds has made a lot of money on his
Oh yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But again, you could be standing at a bar four
people deep and you still never hear them order those
celebrity liquors. It's always the regular liquors that you always have.
Bill gets the same vodka in as Cosmo get a one.
I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying. Tom Brady
doing his power rankings for the NFL this week, and

They overcame a slow start against the Jets, but they
still sit at number four this week. It was a
huge game from Drake Drake May May it's an awesome nickname.
I missed out there, Drake May Jake May May.
Speaker 9 (22:41):

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Lisa Kiss one eight.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
The Cambridge Dictionary has picked its word of the year,
and the word is parasocial. A parasocial relationship is a
one sided connection where you feel close to a celebrity,
an influenza, even a fictional character or an AI bot.
You feel close to them. Someone you know only through
a screen or a story, and someone who does not
(24:50):
know you at all, Like if you thought you knew
a star personally or felt an emotional connection for an influenza,
that's a para social relationship and bions of people experience
it every day.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Okay, Okay, someone needs to explain this to me.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Parasocial I think it's I think it's brilliant that they
picked it as the word of the year because we
just experienced it when Taylor Swift Taylor Swift got engaged
to Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
As a group here, we were overjoyed.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
We were so happy for her, feeling like it was
one of our best friends that she had finally met
her guy and it was finally going to work out.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Riley, I gotta go to you. You're the biggest Swift
ye I know. Did you suffer from parasocial when Taylor got.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Engaged When we announced it. This is funny, I actually
used that word. I said, Oh my god, I don't.
I try not to feel parasocial about people, but this
is like my one exception. I felt like it was
my sister getting engaged, Like I've been looking up to
this woman for years and she got engaged.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I was like, oh my god, this impacts me personally.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
We all had a feeling of like, oh my god,
this is the best thing that's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Does it make me a bad person that I didn't
feel that?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I thought it was very cool. Actually I thought it
was fake. You'll recall, remember, Yeah, I thought it was
an arrangement with the NFL and the record label. And
now I can't believe. I think it's fabulous the way
it all worked out.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But that, I mean, that makes sense. I mean, I
know you like Taylor Swift. Yeah, you're not a super fan.
I wouldn't expect you to feel some emotions towards her.
But is there any celebrity, any music artist, billy in
your lifetime that you've ever felt an emotional connection with
ohm because that would make that would be a power
social relationship.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Do you want me to say who it is so
you can make fun of me?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I know what you're up to, old on, Lisa, I'll
keep my hands off the button. Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I think Bruce Bringsteen would be one.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Okay, definitely that you connected with.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, I mean I went to see him probably twenty
times in concert with the Eat Street Band, So yeah, okay,
I have to.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Kind of do a shout out to all the authors
out there, because I think there are a lot of
authors that have parasocial relationships. There are readers like Ellen Hildebrand,
like her Hilda Babe group is such a group that like,
they love her and they love her books and they
feel very connected to her. So I have to say,
maybe I would have a parasocial relationship with an author.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
So her army are the Hilda Babes. Yes, oh, I see,
I didn't know that, now I know.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
But it's Emily Henry. She's another author. She has a
huge following. I think a lot of people really like
you know, connect with her too.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
How about you, justin do you have a parasocial relationship?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Before I answer that, do we think is this a
negative thing? Lisa?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
No, I I don't. I don't believe it to be
negative because it could be.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
But in these specific examples that we gave, these are
all like very positive feelings of connection.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Not an obsession.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
No, But it just gives people something to connect over
and that isn't a bad thing.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Okay, Okay. The reason one I can think of is
Ed Sharon because Ed Sharon I lost one of his
best friends and he wrote a song about it, and
the song is very similar to I Lost a friend
as well. So when I listened to that song, it
gets me very emotional. So I guess that would be
an emotional connection, you know, because the stories are very
similar the way his friend passed and my friend passed,
(28:23):
and the song is very very heavy, So I guess
that would be my parasocial.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I think a negative parasocial would be what's happening with
Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, that whole
sort of like love triangle thing that a lot of
I think in that case there could have been because
they were reaching out on social and being really mean
to Hailey Bieber, all of Selena Gomez, all of her fans.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Like, I think they were taking it very a little
too seriously.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Now I'm being honest, but I think over the last
six months, I think I've developed a parasocial relationship with
Justin Bieber. That might sound creepy at the outset, but
I'm just saying, And you know what locked it in
for me? This past week, I saw a video it
could have been an old video clip where we did
a drum off with the drummer from the Roots on
(29:12):
on Fallon and he was better.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, drums, that's from a while ago. Yeah, he's
very good on it. It's amazing, like he was better,
yeah than the Roots drummer. I'm surprised, Billy that you
didn't name a drummer that you connected with, name Bruce,
but no.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah, I wonder if anyone has a parasocial relationship with
any of us.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Oh, that would be creep Well, no, that would be great,
that'd be awesome that Actually, I would love that on
International Man's Day if Billy or h oh, Lisa you
could be my first. Okay, yeah, I'd say it would
probably be Lisa. That's why I would say, really, yeah,
they tend to love him. How you doing talk about the.
Speaker 14 (29:52):
Biggest parasocial relationship.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Because I don't think I'm the only one.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
Do you remember when Tom Brady got traded to the
book Heartbroken?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
We all felt yeah, come on, yeah, yeah, that's a
really good example.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Let's go bucks.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
We were like it was painful.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, that's shout out to that Talkbacker. That was a
perfect parasocial Tom Brady and what we felt when he
left New England.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, there's a listener. Lisa I think her name is
I want to say Emily. Nice girl. But she has
a parasocial relationship with Billy. Yes, she's the one that
watches you walk your dog in Charlestown, Titus.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, it's a one sided, unreciprocated sense of intimacy with you, Billy.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, this is Emily. Yeah, like many of Emily on
the streets of Charlestown.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, she's seen you multiple times but hasn't approached you.
She's your biggest fan and you have no idea that
she exists. Well, now you do kind of, but you didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Does she follow me?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Okay when I'm walking the dome A little weird here, No,
Myerica's number one Marina Charles some Marina.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I'm just throwing that out.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I see this classic Pilly cost Now it's topic time
with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
A couple of minutes ago, we're talking about the fact
that parasocial is now the word of the year, and
we were going around the room talking about if we
have any parasocial relationships, so to speak. Producer Riley brought
one up that I think Riley and I shared Lisa
and Justin, and that was when Brad Marshan left and
then won the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, just his leaving, I really feared it. It's similar
to the Tom Brady situation. Yes, you define you feel connected, and.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
The same with Ray Borki years ago when he left
the Bruins went to the Avalanche and won a Stanley Cup. Yeah,
I'm just thinking of outthers. Okay, all right, it's real easy.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Basically, parasocial is what we all as listeners feel towards
you guys. Basically when you go out in public and
everybody goes, oh my god, you're Billy Costa. Yeah, and
you don't know who they are, That's that's parasocial.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Ah get it. Yeah, And oh my god, I should
have thought about this example of somebody with a parasocial
relationship with Billy one of our talkbackers, which one, you
don't know.
Speaker 14 (32:08):
Which morning guy, especially Billy list that I'm over the
moon this morning.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
It's National Manday and I just found out how to
find my relationship with you, Billy.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I guess we're in a parasocial situationship. Oh yeah, I'm
feeling it. Yeah, I'm feeling it.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Let's go to Kim and Walpole in line one, heiny' Kim,
parasocial relationship, you have one, Hi, I was gonna.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
Say the same thing. My friends and I genuinely feel
like we're friends with you.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Guys. We text about you, we talk about you.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
And then I finally got to meet Billy at Lisa's
book club and you know, I introduced myself. We took
a picture. Then your son came over and you were
so sweet. You're like, oh, this is my friend, Kim,
come Meeter, this is adorable.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I think a lot of it is the nature of
this show, Billy Relasia, the Morning Show. I mean, all
of us were very open about everything in our lives
and people, I mean they know our children's names, they
know our dogs names, they know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
When the kids were born.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yes, we're on the air.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah I know. And that's not that's not a negative thing, No,
not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's a good connection.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good too.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
For any of my original one directioners out there, I
just think we remember being in college and the day
that I found out that Sane was leaving, I cried
on my way to class. I was so heartbroken. That's
my parasocial.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, you feel such a connection.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I just thought of another one. I always, always, always
thought Justin Timberlake was such a superstar. Do you remember
when the story broke least when he was on the balcony? Yes,
and I think the New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, they said he was having an affair and I was.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Like, oh, I hope the same end of Justin timber
That's sad, Captain.
Speaker 15 (33:56):
I must admit I never heard a parasocial before in
my life, but I believe I'm developing a parasocial relationship
with the Princess of Protocol, the lovely Lisa Donovan from Milton, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Hi, are you feeling at least? I didn't think this
was gonna be about us?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I know it's not.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I have a parasocial relationship with my best friend Dolly Parton.
Oh I can see that. People adore her.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, she's loved. You can see that too.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I've definitely had a parasocial relationship with John Gotti. Rest
in peace. They don't make men like that anymore. Nowadays.
Everyone's a snowflake.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
They melt under pressure.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, that came out on the field, John Gotti.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, oh my god, remember you know that John Gotti
once wore a Raiders jacket, you know, and so there's
a picture of him wearing it, and I think the
former owner of the Raiders, so the current owner has
it framed in the office of wearing the Raiders Jack
and you.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Could if you think back to the days when the
Sopranos were huge, I bet a lot of people had
James Gandolfini.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Including Sopranos, including your son Alex.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yes, my son Alex has watched the entirety of the Sopranos.
That's multiple seasons, probably eight or nine times. Yeah, start
to finish. He's a bigger fan than I am. I
thought I was a big fan, Yeah, bigger.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
I feel like I'm in a parasocial relationship with the
characters in every show that I binge watch or every
book that I read.
Speaker 16 (35:29):
Maybe that's weird because they're not real people, it's true.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, yeah, maybe they should have been the word of
the year. Yeah, yes, yeah, I'm thinking that it was
a negative thing, which it can be. Obviously it could
turn into something negative.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
But yeah, like an obsession.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, you just that's what That's what music and TV
and movies they're supposed to do, is a voke emotion and.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Connection and connection. Definitely.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Karen Reid would probably be a local parasocial for a
lot of people. I was at event last week and
I heard you was there. I immediately searched the room
so that I could get an opportunity to just walk
up to her and kind to try to have a
normal conversation with her.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
That's a very I think we all had parasocial relationships
to Karen.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
I also think Mel Robbins probably has a lot of
people that have a parasocial relationship with.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Her, right, Yep, absolutely absolutely, because Mel think about what
she talks about, she connects with people. But Karen Reid,
it was the pink people.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it was massive crowds of pink polarizing.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, all parasocial. Let's go to Kristen and haveoral
line one.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Hey Kristin parasocial you got one?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (36:34):
So I am someone who's active in online communities, and
I've noticed, like with streamers like someone like Valkya or excuc,
people will come to their defense on arguments that they're
not even a part of yep, and so I feel
like that's uncomfortable for them. I've definitely seen some streamers
talk about how they're uncomfortable with the facts that some
people will be parasocial on their behalf.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
That's a good one too, any others or just that one.
Speaker 16 (37:00):
I just think in general, just anything on the internet
when people come to the defense of someone else when
they're not even responding to the argument.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh yeah, a good example.
Speaker 16 (37:09):
Yeah yeah, that's a negative one.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
But the trolls, I think are opposite of parasocial. There's
a lot of anger from the trolls, but dm or
is exchanging things. There's a parasocial Oh yeah, oh yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
The trolls are everywhere. They're never going to go away. Okay,
let's go to line three. Michelle's on She's got an
interesting one, and this isn't my wife is Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Good morning, Michelle. You're not my wife, are you? Honey? No,
I'm not your wife. Okay, good I sing with your
friend Dookie. Oh oh, so you know Dookie, I do.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
So I went to this.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Place and GM spot and I'm next to the sky.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
He's playing a guitar and he says he's Dooky.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
And then I'm like, are you really caused.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
His friend Dookie?
Speaker 5 (37:54):
He's like, yes, I was so Starstruckki. I knew all
about you.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I knew everything you did in Cambridge.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Now you don't know everything. I haven't told all the stories.
Some could still get me in prison, but.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
A few.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Well on behalf of Dukie, my childhood best friend. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
That's an interesting one.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, he plays a guitar. I don't know if you
knew that he's in a band.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I did we have them all the time?
Speaker 4 (38:26):
What?
Speaker 10 (38:29):
Well, then, I guess you could say I'm feeling parasocial
about Whitney Levitt leaving Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Like not, Okay, I feel personally victimized.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Okay, don't any of us watch Dancing with the Stars,
but I believe producer Riley I do.
Speaker 9 (38:47):
Yes, Okay, actually I have been watching Dancing the Stars.
I didn't watch it last night, so that was a
major spoiler. But she's one of the secret lives of
Mormon Wives girls two on this season. Now they are
both gone, and she was actually a really good dancer,
so I'm surprised that she got eliminated. But people are
(39:08):
very polarized by her because she's kind of annoying to people.
So spoilers, But that's okay. I can understand where that's
coming from. Because a social media slash reality star, I
feel like those people fall into that category of people
getting obsessed with them.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Is the Alligator kids still in it?
Speaker 9 (39:26):
Yes, Robert, Yes he's still there when Yeah he's really good.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, people love him.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
The Irwin kids, both kids are doing something. Yeah, bindy
bendy Irwin and yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Oh wow, Okay, well now you're going to waltkch the episode.
Speaker 9 (39:45):
Now, yeah, I'm still going to keep up with I
want to see Robert, and I like a couple other people, Elaine,
like a couple of people that I like.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
I didn't picture you as a Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Person, I I, yeah, I don't know why I'm like
into it.
Speaker 9 (39:57):
And I like judging people about stuf that I know
nothing about. So you're not a dancer, right, Oh absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I got no moves.
Speaker 14 (40:08):
Moves Yeah, good morning. I think the best example of
parasocial was the poor young man that was so distraught
over Britney Spears and begged all of us to leave
her alone totally blew up online.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Oh yeah, Chris Crocker. That was his name, Chris Crocker
alone
Now best morning show in Boston, Billie and Lisa in

Speaker 3 (03:19):
They did well. Last year. There was a big upset. Ever,
at one and Arlington stormed off the field, but you
are welcome back.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah, there were two hundred Arlington kids and they all
just stampeded out of there, like the minute the turkey
dropped to the ground, they were gone. By the way,
let me tell you how big turkey toss is. Yesterday
I got a call from NPR.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I know they're doing the history of Turkey Toss.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
All they wanted to talk about was turkey toss. They
can't believe this event, and I had to try to
explain it, and they going, what happens?
Speaker 3 (03:52):

once they finalize it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You hear this yesterday, Ariana Grande is suggesting her next tour,

The Kendon microphone, no one ever knows when he's talking
into the Candon microphone. Tink of that too. Okay, you're
a cook, make me some eggs. You're not a celebrity. Okay.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
From the Planet Fitness Kiss one of eight studios. We're
back with Villy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Hey guys, welcome back. So there was a bombshell in
the Brian Walsh courtroom yesterday. We've got our reporter from WBCTV,
Penny Commit, on the phone. Good morning, Penny, Good morning.
I oh now you were there. Did anybody see this
coming at all? Did you have any warning this was
gonna happen? He pleads guilty to two of the three counts.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Oh my gosh, absolutely not. When we're sitting in there
and we start to hear the words change of plea please,
you know, all the reporters were teping out, our labbers,
trying to get sit up for the day. We all
kind of like sit up straight or start looking around.
Oh boy, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, before we go any further, let's play that clip
from inside the courtroom yesterday.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
Sir, you're pleading guilty to these two indictments because you
wish to plead guilty because you are guilty.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
That is correct?
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Mister Walsh. Did you in fact willfully remove or convey
the body of Anna Walsh or her remains, not being lawfully.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Authorized to do so?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Yes, Kara, do you now plead guilty to these indictments
willingly and voluntarily?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yes, Kara. So Penny at the courtroom, was that a
oh my god moment?
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Absolutely? Like I said, no one saw that coming.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
But Penny, what, what's the strategy behind this? Do you think?
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Well?
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Who's to say? So he still is on trial for
first degree murder. Now, we've talked to legal analysts who
say there's a lot of different strategies here. Our head
legal analyst, Jennifer Roman, thinks that maybe what his defense
is doing is positioning themselves to get that first degree
murder charge drop down to second degree murder, make a
(08:31):
deal with the prosecution, Hey, we don't even have to
do the trial. He will plead guilty to second degree murder,
which would give him the possibility of maybe getting out
of prison one day. Because first degree murder you have
no possibility for parole. That is a full life sentence.
So that's one theory. What's interesting too, is that if
his trial does move forward, they do not take any
(08:53):
type of plea deal. It's going to be a totally
different trial. On Walsh's body has never been found, so
there's always been this idea of reasonable doubt. Oh, could
she have run away and no one's ever heard from her?
Do we know for certain that she died? During this
plea change, he had to admit that Anna Walsh unfortunately
(09:14):
is gone, which was totally different. So now the trial,
if it moves forward, would be less of if she
died and how she died.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, because not only is she gone, but if he's
pleading guilty to moving the body, he knows where it is,
and that.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Was something we've never had confirmation of before that there
even was.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
A body exactly, So help most likely take the stand.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh, I would be shocked if he took the stand.
I would be kind of shocked. If the trial moved forward.
I'm leaning that they use this to negotiate some type
of plea deal to give him the possibility of proll
down the line. Of course, there is no way for
us to know for sure, and yesterday they acted like
(10:03):
they were moving forward business as usual. They called an
eighty four potential jurors, thirty five were interviewed and they
ended up seating nine.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Right, Well, here's the part I still don't get. Many.
If he's pleading guilty to moving the body, why would
he have access to the body. If he didn't commit
the murder.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Well, that's the question. They can maybe argue, oh, she
died accidentally. He was the only one that's there, and
you can't be forced to testify in your own trial.
They could paint some narrative of there's reasonable doubt that
anything happened. She tripped and fell and hit her head,
and he panicked and didn't know what to do and
moved the body, and then where she fell down the stairs.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, let's say that's the case hypothetically, right, why not
tell them now where the body is or what happened
to the body.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Well, this happened way back in twenty twenty three, and
I'm assuming that part of this plea deal he doesn't
have to give information. I will say that the prosecution
was going through the statement of facts as they do.
You know, Brian Walsh has agreed to these facts. And
for a second they mentioned a dumpster, something about putting
a body in a dumpster, and I'm so sorry for
everyone listening to be so graphic this early in the morning. Yeah,
(11:21):
but the second the prosecution said that, the defense stood
up and was like, we are not agreeing to any
specific details. Just that a body was improperly disposed and moved,
so that whole line about the dumpster was taken out.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
But did you say a couple of minutes ago that
they may cancel the trial.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
Well, legal analysts have hypothesized that maybe this is a
big strategy to get him a plea deal on a
lesser charge. So right now he's charged for first degree murder,
which is a full life sentence. There's no way to
note for sure. This is just you know, legal mindset
ideas out there that perhaps he's trying to get that
(12:03):
first degree murder charge down to a second degree murder charge,
take a deal on second degree, and that would offer
him the possibility of parole down the line.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah, so just go off to prison, so that wouldn't
be the need for a trial. There's an agreement, we'll
see you by.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
And also he could be using the fact that he
knows where the body is as a as a negotiating tactic. Yeah,
give me that in the move, give me the second
degree murder charge. I'll tell you where the body is.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Well, it will be.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Really interesting to see what happens today. I think we'll
know today. I can't imagine they continue with jury selection
calling all these hundreds of people in if they plan
to take a plea deal. So I think we'll have
an idea today, but who's who's to say. I mean,
we could have several more days of jury selection left,
and these things take time. You know, these lawyers have
(12:54):
to draft these plea deals. And it looks like looking
at the paperwork they originally draft to this deal last week.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, So as it stands now, the calendar would be
that opening statements I think would happened the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Yep, wow, yep, Monday, December first.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
That was a shock, man.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
The trial is expected to last three to four weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh boy, if there is one.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
If there is one, there is a trial. Oh my god, Penny,
great job. You were right there. And you know what's
interesting to us here on the Billion Lisa Morning Show, Penny,
is that the US mint canceled the Penny And we
have you on the Billion Lisa Morning Show from.

Speaker 5 (14:46):

sensitive and caring and good looking.

Billy and Lisa. Now the entertainment updates with a Billy constep.

long long time.

Speaker 11 (15:40):
So I'm going to give it my all and it's

Can I ask you something? What is it with celebrities
and the need to have an alcohol?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Well? It makes that money, like it's it's it makes
a lot of money. Like look what George Clooney sold
his company for.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah he really hit it big, was he?
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But he was in very early on it, yeah, very early.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
But I always talk about this whenever I go to
a b I've never heard anyone order a famous liquor,
you know, if it's like can I get a vodka whatever?
Or Tito's in this? They never say, oh can I
get an espresso martini with Fletcher Azul. It's always just
you know the well you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
Well, I agree, but I think that people you know,
have liquor at home too, and like I would have
Fletcher Azul in my bar at home.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh there you go, Yeah, as do I. By the way,
delivered personally by Mark Lahlberg. I love Fletcher. I should
probably get that in right.

from Yes Grace Diddy. Yeah, that was that was That
was That was one.
Speaker 1 (21:40):

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Yeah, I mean, look at Bethany Frankel, though she had
the skinny girl that was big, cashed in.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
On that big.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Didn't she make a billion dollars?
Speaker 1 (21:49):

back then it was a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
And it was one of those fake drinks in a
model like are they pre mixed? It was pre mes Yeah,
I know what you mean. You see all these celebrities

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Ryan Reynolds has made a lot of money on his
Oh yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But again, you could be standing at a bar four
people deep and you still never hear them order those
celebrity liquors. It's always the regular liquors that you always have.
Bill gets the same vodka in as Cosmo get a one.
I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying. Tom Brady
doing his power rankings for the NFL this week, and
he had this to say about Drake May the Pats.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
They overcame a slow start against the Jets, but they
still sit at number four this week. It was a
huge game from Drake Drake May May it's an awesome nickname.
I missed out there, Drake May Jake May May.
Speaker 9 (22:41):

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Almost one would argue too much.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Yeah, we're brought to you by Dover Rug and Holme.
There really is an art to fitting carpeting along a staircase.
Have you ever tried, at least on your own? It's impossible, right,
It's not a curved wall, cutting and binding it perfectly.
It's almost like having a tailor, a well made suit.
And you'll get just that at Dover Rug, Natick Boston,
Burlington or doverrug dot com and there you go, justin.
(24:20):
Come on, Real Housewives of Rhode Island. You hid storylines
and plots.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's reality TV, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Lisa Kiss one eight.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
The Cambridge Dictionary has picked its word of the year,
and the word is parasocial. A parasocial relationship is a
one sided connection where you feel close to a celebrity,
an influenza, even a fictional character or an AI bot.
You feel close to them. Someone you know only through
a screen or a story, and someone who does not
(24:50):
know you at all, Like if you thought you knew
a star personally or felt an emotional connection for an influenza,
that's a para social relationship and bions of people experience
it every day.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Okay, Okay, someone needs to explain this to me.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Parasocial I think it's I think it's brilliant that they
picked it as the word of the year because we
just experienced it when Taylor Swift Taylor Swift got engaged
to Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
As a group here, we were overjoyed.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
We were so happy for her, feeling like it was
one of our best friends that she had finally met
her guy and it was finally going to work out.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Riley, I gotta go to you. You're the biggest Swift
ye I know. Did you suffer from parasocial when Taylor got.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Engaged When we announced it. This is funny, I actually
used that word. I said, Oh my god, I don't.
I try not to feel parasocial about people, but this
is like my one exception. I felt like it was
my sister getting engaged, Like I've been looking up to
this woman for years and she got engaged.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I was like, oh my god, this impacts me personally.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
We all had a feeling of like, oh my god,
this is the best thing that's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Does it make me a bad person that I didn't
feel that?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I thought it was very cool. Actually I thought it
was fake. You'll recall, remember, Yeah, I thought it was
an arrangement with the NFL and the record label. And
now I can't believe. I think it's fabulous the way
it all worked out.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
But that, I mean, that makes sense. I mean, I
know you like Taylor Swift. Yeah, you're not a super fan.
I wouldn't expect you to feel some emotions towards her.
But is there any celebrity, any music artist, billy in
your lifetime that you've ever felt an emotional connection with
ohm because that would make that would be a power
social relationship.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Do you want me to say who it is so
you can make fun of me?
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I know what you're up to, old on, Lisa, I'll
keep my hands off the button. Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I think Bruce Bringsteen would be one.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Okay, definitely that you connected with.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, I mean I went to see him probably twenty
times in concert with the Eat Street Band, So yeah, okay,
I have to.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Kind of do a shout out to all the authors
out there, because I think there are a lot of
authors that have parasocial relationships. There are readers like Ellen Hildebrand,
like her Hilda Babe group is such a group that like,
they love her and they love her books and they
feel very connected to her. So I have to say,
maybe I would have a parasocial relationship with an author.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
So her army are the Hilda Babes. Yes, oh, I see,
I didn't know that, now I know.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
But it's Emily Henry. She's another author. She has a
huge following. I think a lot of people really like
you know, connect with her too.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
How about you, justin do you have a parasocial relationship?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Before I answer that, do we think is this a
negative thing? Lisa?
Speaker 1 (27:41):
No, I I don't. I don't believe it to be
negative because it could be.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
But in these specific examples that we gave, these are
all like very positive feelings of connection.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Not an obsession.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
No, But it just gives people something to connect over
and that isn't a bad thing.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Okay, Okay. The reason one I can think of is
Ed Sharon because Ed Sharon I lost one of his
best friends and he wrote a song about it, and
the song is very similar to I Lost a friend
as well. So when I listened to that song, it
gets me very emotional. So I guess that would be
an emotional connection, you know, because the stories are very
similar the way his friend passed and my friend passed,
(28:23):
and the song is very very heavy, So I guess
that would be my parasocial.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
I think a negative parasocial would be what's happening with
Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber, that whole
sort of like love triangle thing that a lot of
I think in that case there could have been because
they were reaching out on social and being really mean
to Hailey Bieber, all of Selena Gomez, all of her fans.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Like, I think they were taking it very a little
too seriously.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Now I'm being honest, but I think over the last
six months, I think I've developed a parasocial relationship with
Justin Bieber. That might sound creepy at the outset, but
I'm just saying, And you know what locked it in
for me? This past week, I saw a video it
could have been an old video clip where we did
a drum off with the drummer from the Roots on
(29:12):
on Fallon and he was better.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, drums, that's from a while ago. Yeah, he's
very good on it. It's amazing, like he was better,
yeah than the Roots drummer. I'm surprised, Billy that you
didn't name a drummer that you connected with, name Bruce,
but no.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Yeah, I wonder if anyone has a parasocial relationship with
any of us.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Oh, that would be creep Well, no, that would be great,
that'd be awesome that Actually, I would love that on
International Man's Day if Billy or h oh, Lisa you
could be my first. Okay, yeah, I'd say it would
probably be Lisa. That's why I would say, really, yeah,
they tend to love him. How you doing talk about the.
Speaker 14 (29:52):
Biggest parasocial relationship.
Speaker 8 (29:54):
Because I don't think I'm the only one.
Speaker 14 (29:57):
Do you remember when Tom Brady got traded to the
book Heartbroken?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
We all felt yeah, come on, yeah, yeah, that's a
really good example.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Let's go bucks.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
We were like it was painful.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, that's shout out to that Talkbacker. That was a
perfect parasocial Tom Brady and what we felt when he
left New England.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, there's a listener. Lisa I think her name is
I want to say Emily. Nice girl. But she has
a parasocial relationship with Billy. Yes, she's the one that
watches you walk your dog in Charlestown, Titus.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, it's a one sided, unreciprocated sense of intimacy with you, Billy.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, this is Emily. Yeah, like many of Emily on
the streets of Charlestown.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Yeah, she's seen you multiple times but hasn't approached you.
She's your biggest fan and you have no idea that
she exists. Well, now you do kind of, but you didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Does she follow me?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Okay when I'm walking the dome A little weird here, No,
Myerica's number one Marina Charles some Marina.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I'm just throwing that out.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I see this classic Pilly cost Now it's topic time
with Billy and Lisa in the morning.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
A couple of minutes ago, we're talking about the fact
that parasocial is now the word of the year, and
we were going around the room talking about if we
have any parasocial relationships, so to speak. Producer Riley brought
one up that I think Riley and I shared Lisa
and Justin, and that was when Brad Marshan left and
then won the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, just his leaving, I really feared it. It's similar
to the Tom Brady situation. Yes, you define you feel connected, and.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
The same with Ray Borki years ago when he left
the Bruins went to the Avalanche and won a Stanley Cup. Yeah,
I'm just thinking of outthers. Okay, all right, it's real easy.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Basically, parasocial is what we all as listeners feel towards
you guys. Basically when you go out in public and
everybody goes, oh my god, you're Billy Costa. Yeah, and
you don't know who they are, That's that's parasocial.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Ah get it. Yeah, And oh my god, I should
have thought about this example of somebody with a parasocial
relationship with Billy one of our talkbackers, which one, you
don't know.
Speaker 14 (32:08):
Which morning guy, especially Billy list that I'm over the
moon this morning.
Speaker 8 (32:12):
It's National Manday and I just found out how to
find my relationship with you, Billy.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I guess we're in a parasocial situationship. Oh yeah, I'm
feeling it. Yeah, I'm feeling it.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Let's go to Kim and Walpole in line one, heiny' Kim,
parasocial relationship, you have one, Hi, I was gonna.
Speaker 8 (32:31):
Say the same thing. My friends and I genuinely feel
like we're friends with you.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Guys. We text about you, we talk about you.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
And then I finally got to meet Billy at Lisa's
book club and you know, I introduced myself. We took
a picture. Then your son came over and you were
so sweet. You're like, oh, this is my friend, Kim,
come Meeter, this is adorable.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I think a lot of it is the nature of
this show, Billy Relasia, the Morning Show. I mean, all
of us were very open about everything in our lives
and people, I mean they know our children's names, they
know our dogs names, they know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
When the kids were born.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yes, we're on the air.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah I know. And that's not that's not a negative thing, No,
not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's a good connection.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I'm feeling pretty good right now.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good too.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
For any of my original one directioners out there, I
just think we remember being in college and the day
that I found out that Sane was leaving, I cried
on my way to class. I was so heartbroken. That's
my parasocial.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Yeah, you feel such a connection.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I just thought of another one. I always, always, always
thought Justin Timberlake was such a superstar. Do you remember
when the story broke least when he was on the balcony? Yes,
and I think the New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, they said he was having an affair and I was.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Like, oh, I hope the same end of Justin timber
That's sad, Captain.
Speaker 15 (33:56):
I must admit I never heard a parasocial before in
my life, but I believe I'm developing a parasocial relationship
with the Princess of Protocol, the lovely Lisa Donovan from Milton, Massachusetts.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Hi, are you feeling at least? I didn't think this
was gonna be about us?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I know it's not.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
I have a parasocial relationship with my best friend Dolly Parton.
Oh I can see that. People adore her.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yeah, she's loved. You can see that too.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
I've definitely had a parasocial relationship with John Gotti. Rest
in peace. They don't make men like that anymore. Nowadays.
Everyone's a snowflake.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
They melt under pressure.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, that came out on the field, John Gotti.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Yeah, oh my god, remember you know that John Gotti
once wore a Raiders jacket, you know, and so there's
a picture of him wearing it, and I think the
former owner of the Raiders, so the current owner has
it framed in the office of wearing the Raiders Jack
and you.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Could if you think back to the days when the
Sopranos were huge, I bet a lot of people had
James Gandolfini.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Including Sopranos, including your son Alex.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Yes, my son Alex has watched the entirety of the Sopranos.
That's multiple seasons, probably eight or nine times. Yeah, start
to finish. He's a bigger fan than I am. I
thought I was a big fan, Yeah, bigger.
Speaker 5 (35:21):
I feel like I'm in a parasocial relationship with the
characters in every show that I binge watch or every
book that I read.
Speaker 16 (35:29):
Maybe that's weird because they're not real people, it's true.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Yeah, yeah, maybe they should have been the word of
the year. Yeah, yes, yeah, I'm thinking that it was
a negative thing, which it can be. Obviously it could
turn into something negative.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
But yeah, like an obsession.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, you just that's what That's what music and TV
and movies they're supposed to do, is a voke emotion and.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Connection and connection. Definitely.
Speaker 6 (35:50):
Karen Reid would probably be a local parasocial for a
lot of people. I was at event last week and
I heard you was there. I immediately searched the room
so that I could get an opportunity to just walk
up to her and kind to try to have a
normal conversation with her.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
That's a very I think we all had parasocial relationships
to Karen.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
I also think Mel Robbins probably has a lot of
people that have a parasocial relationship with.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Her, right, Yep, absolutely absolutely, because Mel think about what
she talks about, she connects with people. But Karen Reid,
it was the pink people.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it was massive crowds of pink polarizing.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, all parasocial. Let's go to Kristen and haveoral
line one.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Hey Kristin parasocial you got one?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (36:34):
So I am someone who's active in online communities, and
I've noticed, like with streamers like someone like Valkya or excuc,
people will come to their defense on arguments that they're
not even a part of yep, and so I feel
like that's uncomfortable for them. I've definitely seen some streamers
talk about how they're uncomfortable with the facts that some
people will be parasocial on their behalf.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
That's a good one too, any others or just that one.
Speaker 16 (37:00):
I just think in general, just anything on the internet
when people come to the defense of someone else when
they're not even responding to the argument.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh yeah, a good example.
Speaker 16 (37:09):
Yeah yeah, that's a negative one.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
But the trolls, I think are opposite of parasocial. There's
a lot of anger from the trolls, but dm or
is exchanging things. There's a parasocial Oh yeah, oh yeah. Oh.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
The trolls are everywhere. They're never going to go away. Okay,
let's go to line three. Michelle's on She's got an
interesting one, and this isn't my wife is Oh.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Good morning, Michelle. You're not my wife, are you? Honey? No,
I'm not your wife. Okay, good I sing with your
friend Dookie. Oh oh, so you know Dookie, I do.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
So I went to this.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
Place and GM spot and I'm next to the sky.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
He's playing a guitar and he says he's Dooky.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
And then I'm like, are you really caused.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
His friend Dookie?
Speaker 5 (37:54):
He's like, yes, I was so Starstruckki. I knew all
about you.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
I knew everything you did in Cambridge.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
Now you don't know everything. I haven't told all the stories.
Some could still get me in prison, but.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
A few.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Well on behalf of Dukie, my childhood best friend. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
That's an interesting one.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, he plays a guitar. I don't know if you
knew that he's in a band.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I did we have them all the time?
Speaker 4 (38:26):
What?
Speaker 10 (38:29):
Well, then, I guess you could say I'm feeling parasocial
about Whitney Levitt leaving Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Like not, Okay, I feel personally victimized.
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Okay, don't any of us watch Dancing with the Stars,
but I believe producer Riley I do.
Speaker 9 (38:47):
Yes, Okay, actually I have been watching Dancing the Stars.
I didn't watch it last night, so that was a
major spoiler. But she's one of the secret lives of
Mormon Wives girls two on this season. Now they are
both gone, and she was actually a really good dancer,
so I'm surprised that she got eliminated. But people are
(39:08):
very polarized by her because she's kind of annoying to people.
So spoilers, But that's okay. I can understand where that's
coming from. Because a social media slash reality star, I
feel like those people fall into that category of people
getting obsessed with them.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Is the Alligator kids still in it?
Speaker 9 (39:26):
Yes, Robert, Yes he's still there when Yeah he's really good.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, people love him.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
The Irwin kids, both kids are doing something. Yeah, bindy
bendy Irwin and yeah.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Oh wow, Okay, well now you're going to waltkch the episode.
Speaker 9 (39:45):
Now, yeah, I'm still going to keep up with I
want to see Robert, and I like a couple other people, Elaine,
like a couple of people that I like.
Speaker 2 (39:51):
I didn't picture you as a Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Person, I I, yeah, I don't know why I'm like
into it.
Speaker 9 (39:57):
And I like judging people about stuf that I know
nothing about. So you're not a dancer, right, Oh absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I got no moves.
Speaker 14 (40:08):
Moves Yeah, good morning. I think the best example of
parasocial was the poor young man that was so distraught
over Britney Spears and begged all of us to leave
her alone totally blew up online.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
Oh yeah, Chris Crocker. That was his name, Chris Crocker
alone
