I mean that's a no. BillyCosta, welcome in. Thank you,
I'm Billy, You're Billy. Yes, Billy It has come on the podcast
today to air out some grievances thathe has. Okay, we'll get to

(01:07):
that in a second. And thenalso in the building is producer Riley formerly
known as Riley. Yeah, sheis now producer Riley. Does she have
a Micael do let me see say, hello, High World. That is
Riley. No, I'm sorry,what is it? Bill? Producer?
That's right, Billy and Lisa inthe Morning Present, a behind the scenes

(01:30):
look into Boston's favorite morning show.That's a little too much information guy,
the After Show podcast. Here's Justin. So I want to get everybody a
heads up that are listening to thispodcast. What's that? Justin? Executive
producer, Justin. Uh, thisis either going to be the greatest podcast

(01:52):
of all time or the one thatgets us canceled and fired. Yeah,
it could go either way, youknow what I mean? So, uh,
anyway, Bill, what do youwant to say? What's going on?
Oh? I don't know. Ijust you know. Well, the
good news is that we tweaked theBilly and Lisa Morning Show a little bit.
This week. We kicked off anew segment we call topic Time.

(02:14):
That's right, that's right, alittle behind the scenes. You will hear
my beautiful wife, Michelle's voice atthe top of the saxe gart to figure
out how to send that. Shejust can't figure out how to send her
talk back. Well, we werethinking about it because Michelle. The only
sound clip we have of Michelle yourwife is when she came in and said
coffee time, right. So thenwe decided on the name of topic time

(02:37):
to replace right now, and itsounded like coffee time. So we're trying
to get Michelle to record something.She's recorded one hundred and ten talkbacks from
her house. Not one has madeit to your boy, and then she
tried it this morning. Got allfrustrated because the minute she said topic time,
Titus the Dog started marketing. Shetold me that I sent her a
tutorial how to do it, andshe told me that's what she didn't it

(02:58):
sense, yeah, because it's alittle green check. She's sending it to
Kiss ninety five seven in Cincinnati.Oh, I imagine some other Kiss station
is stealing Topic Time from us,right, imagine they stole our segments and
used her voice. Thank you,Riley, I'm sorry, producer Riley.
Okay, that's Winny over there.That's that's Winny. Yeah, when it

(03:21):
when it frot? Okay. SoBill, we had this meeting. We
changed a bunch of things up.It was a good meeting, but here's
the grievance. There was one partof the meeting that Billy can't let go,
and I gotta say, I agreewith you, Bill, I agree
with you. So it was twothings, really, and you know one
was the first one I understand,and that is that Riley who's our assistant
producer. She answers our phones.Billy refers to her as Riley, which

(03:46):
is her name. But there isconfusion with Riley Donovan, who is a
part of our show. A lotof people that listen, a lot of
people because you because you have we'vehad him on for two or three years
ago, Riley Donaldan. I understandthat. That means in anywhere in the
country there's somebody named Riley. They'rebeing confused. You're how ridiculous this is.

(04:11):
First of all, Riley Donovan,who's Lisa Donovan's son, is on
the show five times a year.Okay, producer Riley who used to be
Riley, but apparently nobody got it. So Riley our sist producer, our
assistant producer, Riley or whatever?How about Riley, Well, we can't

(04:32):
do so basically in the meeting isgoing forward, we can never use our
own names. We call it apRiley AP. I like the idea that
people think that a fourteen year oldis working here answering the phones, yeah,
yeah, so you will confuse Riley. I just think it's funny that
they think it's Riley answering the phones. We're not talking about brainiacs. Okay,

(04:56):
that's not insult our audience. Okay. So in that meeting, okay,
they said that they want Billy toonly refer to Riley as producer Riley.
People know who she is. Billycan't let that go. That's one,
Okay. I kind of understand thatone. I do. I get
it. It can be no oneis confused. Okay. The second one
is the one that really is drivingBilly crazy such bullshit, and if you

(05:18):
listen to the show today, youcan hear Billy really like laying into this
and really putting on for this.Okay, I'll take it from here,
Okay, said Donovan. Arguably mybest friend, right, so for over
twenty years, over twenty years,right, I call her both in studio,
out of studio, on the street, at home. I talked to

(05:40):
her in the afternoon, he had, Donovan, what's up? Well,
can I call her Donovan? Butwell, let's go back to why you
were married to Alisa right at thetime, So that's why you always call
her Lisa Dunovan because you had awife, Lisa exactly, So that's where
it stems from. But no,it's like a term of endearment, Hey,
Donovan, and it just works forme. Right, So on the
show, I'm sorry, who's confusedsince I've called her Donovan for twenty two

(06:06):
years? Who's confused by the nameDonovan? Or or maybe I'm missing something
I told her? Someone's feelings gettinghurt because I call her Donovan? Like,
am I violating some rule that I'mnot aware of? You know?
With the feelings people out there?How can he say Donovan? I can't

(06:28):
believe he's calling her Donovan. That'sso disrespectful. I can't even believe it.
He's a monster, he's saying doneevent for God's sakes, shut up,
I shut your hole, whoever youare. Hold on. It's so
funny, right pause rate that.Bill. And So we had this big
two hour meeting and then they dida two and a half hour they did
a recap of all the things thatwe talked about, and we love all

(06:51):
of it, right, all thisstuff about. We discussed everything right there,
right now, change, et cetera, et cetera. And then at
the very end the last bull bulletpoint says call Riley, producer Riley.
I wasn't even there for this,okay, right, and then this is
the last line and all this ishow they wrap it up. Call Lisa,
Lisa period. No, Donovan,you don't you dare say you understand

(07:20):
because you are the feelings people.I have no feeling. I can feelings
people. I literally don't. Youcan't say that. I can't believe he
said that. I don't want tobe canceled. Brow Did I tell you
not to say something? Here's thegist of the meeting. They loved the

(07:40):
show. They just don't like us. But when we are the show,
less of us is what I pulledfrom the meeting. Okay, we actually
airing this. Yeah, it'll beup, but it's not. It's not
regulated by the FCC, so youwon't get in trouble. That's the good.
No. I just don't want toget fired anything. They can't trust

(08:01):
me. They count the minutes.Yeah, no, they for reasons to
fire me every minute of every day, especially now if I ever Heaven forbid,
say Donovan, you know why Idon't agree with it. Honestly,
you know what I say, causeyou can be fired for cause that's gonna
be my cause he fucking said Donovan. He told him not to say Donovan.

(08:24):
You know why I agree with itbecause I don't agree with it,
is because one of the last meetingsthat we had many months ago, they
said very the same people said tous. They said, you know,
Justin and Whinnie, you're kind ofnewer on the air, so we want
to kind of your names are notas known. Then they said, Billy
and Lisa, everybody knows you andBoston like, you don't have to say
Billy Costa or Lisa Donovan or sayBilly from you know, the Morning Show

(08:48):
or Lisa, but Winnie and Justin, you guys have to and all of
a sudden, don't say Donovan.It's confusing. I don't I don't get
it. And the funniest part wasI wasn't there for that part of the
meeting. Right, So the nextmorning, right, I don't know anything
because who never says anything to me? The executive producer, So sad,
I'm so happy that you brought thisup because you didn't say anything. Your

(09:09):
pussy asked executive producer. Justin said, no, don't stay any to him.
I don't want to upset him beforethe show, and I said,
we got to tell him at somepoint. He said, we'll do after
the show. No, Big Isay done of it on the show.
The Big Boss walks in right itlooks at me, says, you can
never say done of it, andI'm looking at him like what, yeah

(09:33):
would hours before that, but Justindidn't want to upset I stand by that
as the executive. As the executiveproducer of the show, it is my
job to not do things to affectthe show. If I tell you things
about the show that I think mayupset you, I don't tell you before
the show or during the show.I wait till after. And unfortunately,

(09:54):
yeah, the Boss after that moment, I didn't sleep a wink last night.
Yeah. Oh, I was thinkingabout somebody whose neck I could ring
like. I was just thinking nothingbut severe hurt, just something. So
that was just I was going toget back to my roots. I was
going to get from the of thenight and I was gonna slash tires of
strangers cars. That's how the strangersare you gonna hurt random people. I

(10:20):
had to hurt something someone. Michelle'slike, where are you going? I
said, I can't sleep. Ican't sleep, But you left the house.
I got up and left the room, pacing around the house. What
can I destroy? Oh? Ididn't know this. I came close to
throwing an entire deck furniture off thedeck. Yeah, that's say about you.

(10:50):
You know what it is? Bill? I think Billy is just.
I do agree with you, butI think also Billy is just. You
know, he's a lot of stressgoing on. You're too busy. You
got too many things going on.Not only does he have ten TV shows
and a radio show. Now youhear what the new thing? What new
thing? Book? There? Doing? A book? A book? Right?
That work goes into that about it? Why do you why? Now?

(11:11):
The thing would annoy me about?He owns this whole concept. Nothing
not talking over nothing you say isgoing to matter. We're already three quarters
of the way. Who wants abook? But that's a topic for another
day. Well, yeah you're doing. What are your thoughts? You need
to make a blog? Yeah hedoesn't. He'd have when he had helped

(11:35):
him to do it, when hewould write it. Yeah, more than
vlog. Either between a vlog anda part is written. One is video
video, but is vlog the sameas a podcast. No, there used
to be a vlog for the morningshow many years ago. They'd follow over
the camera and yeah, when youcan, I ask you something. I

(11:56):
saw your your Instagram post holding hands. Yeah, is that a new chapter?

saw she was wearing white boots.No, she wasn't. She was wearing
Nikes. She was wearing a jailsuit. She was a grout fan,
wearing a gray olf. That's whatyou wear in prison, a gray sweatsuit.
You get to take those home?No, well yes, actually,

(12:16):
