(upbeat music) - Oh boy, good morning everybody and welcome into the Billie and Lisa morning show. Here we go, it is a Wednesday morning and Lisa Donovan, what's the weather gonna be like? - Oh, it's gonna be a hot one. Very humid if you like warm weather. Today's your day. - You love warm weather. - I do, it's gonna be like 90 degrees. It's very summer like, so get out and enjoy. - So 90 degrees in humid and you'll probably run 10 miles. - Well, you know what, I won't today 'cause I have the book club tonight. - Big book club event tonight. - Little busy today, so we'll have to do the run tomorrow. - Are we still all on board for tonight's book club event or the entire morning show? - The only one I'm asking that is you. - I am so on board. - Okay, I'll be there with producer Riley. - Oh good, I'll be there. - Good, well then we're all on board. - Yeah, this is cool that you and producer Riley are carpooling all the time. - That's very green of you. - Yeah, she's my neighbor. She lives in Salem, New Hampshire, so. It's good, we have little car talks. She actually listens to me unlike Winnie. She listens to my advice. - And you're not dropping any footprints out there, you know, you're just doing the right thing every single morning. So when do you start carpooling in the mornings? - I get her a little bit earlier than her. If she ever wants to get up that early, she's welcome to come with me. - Yeah, but then she leaves later than you. - Right. - Justin went to wait. He'd be like, listen, I gotta go to the gym, so you're gonna have to figure out a ride home. - Yeah, like legs happen today, I gotta go. - You know who was trying to figure out rides this morning, parents, because it's back to school? - It is for a lot of school districts it is. Some aren't, some are going back after Labor Day, but I know like where I live in the town of Milton, they are, but yeah, this is a big day. This is a big day for parents. Get the kids back in school. - I know Walpole is too. - Well, stonom schools were supposed to open today, but now it's not 'til next week the contractor didn't finish the job, I guess, at the high school. - Yeah, so that's delayed. - I'm sure those high schoolers are so sad about that. - Oh no, they interviewed the kids, the kids are like, this is the greatest musician. - Absolutely. - Another day on Fortnite. - It's a gift. - It's good to know that the contractors aren't just growing up at our projects. You know, they can't even get the schools open on schedule. - It's consistent, yeah. - So stonom gets a break, not until next week, sometimes certainly not until after a Labor Day. And I wake up this morning and I can't figure out whether I should be more concerned or afraid of Triple E or the, there's a-- - West Nile. - West Nile. - Well, Triple E is more localized. I mean, it's Plymouth, they're spraying, they're spraying out in Worcester, another town. So, I don't know, I mean, be mindful of it, but I wouldn't not go outside because of it. - I will say yesterday I was at my pool to late like 6.30, I was just laying by the pool doing nothing. And around that time, a bunch of like flies, mosquitoes, and I've had like three bites on my foot yesterday. - Well, and today's gonna really make it worse 'cause it's gonna be like really humid out there. - I could actually, yeah, there they are. I could be sitting here right now with Eastern Equine and Cephalitis because I got two brand new mosquito bites this morning on the way to work. - Ooh. - Well, they love you. - Yeah, that's the problem. I'm one of those people they talk about. - You're so sweet, Billie. - The mosquitoes, I don't know what it is. Maybe they're just angry with me. - Well, just put bug spray on and we're like, don't sit out like a twilight. That's the worst time. - You know what the irony is of all this though, is that Bill is gearing up for a big trip to Africa. He's very nervous. - Oh, God. - 'Cause they wanna be with the, you know, with the wildy animals. And then you're gonna die before you can get to Africa 'cause of West Nile. - Yeah, the good news is that he has all of the mosquito repellent gear now, all of the shirts and stuff. So why don't you just start wearing it now? - Okay, do you really think the mosquito repellent clothing really repels mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are angry individuals, okay? If they want you, they're gonna get you. By the way, Tripoli was born in Africa. I'm going to the birthplace of the mosquito. - Yes, you are. - Okay, what is that call? That's called just going where your wife kicks you. - Yeah, this is exactly what it is. - That's exactly what it is. - You're a good boy. - Yeah. - And then in Marblehead, coyotes are attacking joggers. - Ooh. - Like, they're so much to be worried about this morning. - Yeah, that poor woman in Marblehead, they think she might have rabies, they don't know. - That's horrible. - Gosh. Oh boy, so Tripoli, West Nile, coyotes. - Is there any positive news? Well, we have Lisa's book. - Yeah, it is. Jocelyn Maine tonight. - Yeah, now, Lisa, I know it sells out every single time you have a book club. - Yes. - Is there any last minute chance for people to go there tonight to Jocelyn Maine? - Honestly, if you want to DM me and you really want to go, I will fit you in. Again, just DM me at Lisa Donovan 108. I do have my own personal guest list, so they take a couple of seats for me. - Well, that's not that nice. - Yeah. - Are we guest listed at the morning show? - You are a guest listed. - We don't get a seat though, at least we're standing remotely. - Well, again, this is a furniture store. So luckily there are a lot of places to set. - You know what's funny about the standing room thing you just said, Winnie? On the very first book club, I went with Lisa's husband, Tim, and Lisa put the two of us outside the building. - Well, because I needed the seats. - Yeah, there was standing room only, and we were standing outside looking for the window. - They weren't. - And I'm not even exaggerating now that I think about it. - I know, I was in the room and you guys weren't. - I was there? - Yeah. - I was in the room. Ben Mezrich was the first, he was great. - He was great. - Yeah. - Well, Erin Gates is tonight. She is gonna be really great. I just had a fun conversation with her yesterday. So she's an influencer, a blogger. She's an interior decorator, author. I mean, she's doing everything. - Okay, so big back to school day today. Okay, so we wanna hear from a lot of moms, a lot of parents, okay? What are they thinking this morning? It's a lawyer. - Oh, yeah, but yeah, like, what's the first thing they wanna do? You know, now that they have their freedom again. Anyway, you're welcome to give us a call, even now 617-93-11108, or Justin, they can talk to you through the talk back, right? - Yeah, we really encourage that, you know, using the talk back mic. It's a way to get your voice heard on the Billion Lisa Show, be a part of the conversation. You can respond to the things that we say. You know, for example, Billie's the movie guy. You know, he finds these movies and he always comes in with these recommendations, which we appreciate. Thank you, Bill, for that. Yesterday's was, what was the name yesterday? - I watched it last night. - What was it called? - Vanished in two seconds or something. - Vanished in two nights. - Vanished in two nights. - Really, I watched that vanished into the night movie last night. I would have rather watched "Paint Drive" total waste of two hours next. - Yeah, I have to say, I kind of turned it off halfway through. - It's really, okay, and was it dubbed over? - Yeah, well, the only person who wasn't was the woman, the wife, she was American, so she was speaking, and, you know, normally, and then everybody else was speaking Italian. - Oh, that's what it was. She spoke. - Right, she's American, everyone else was from Italy. - Oh, okay. - So she was speaking English. - Right. - Are you speaking Italian? - Listen, it was an artistic movie. - It was, it was beautifully shot. You know why he liked it? There's a lot of boat scenes in it. - Exactly. - Oh, you should have said that. - Closing around the mighty Mediterranean. - All you need is boat b-roll. I don't know why you're watching the movie. You can just-- - It's like boat porn for you. (laughing) So freakas. (laughing) - It really is. - It really is. - We have Billy Eilish tickets at 710 this morning. You understand that show sold out in seconds. We've got your tickets at 710. Entertainment is next. The Kelsey brothers have their $100 million deal. That's next. We'll break it down. - From the Planet Fitness Kids 108 Studios, we're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning on his 108. - Hey, guys. So welcome back. Again, this morning we've got so much going on. We'll get to entertainment in a couple of seconds. We'll talk about back to school and what moms and dads are going through. But Justin, let's get a couple of talkbacks in first. - Yeah, the cool thing we always talk about on the iHeart app and leaving talkbacks is you can do so from around the world. We think that's pretty cool. - Kelly, man, our morning team. This is Vegas Ray, calling in from the beautiful island of Nexos, Greece. Just wanted to touch base with you guys. He's had some SIM card issues in Sicily and wasn't able to do it. But now in beautiful Nexos and thinking of you guys listening to you and just wanted to check in, wish you guys all the best in a great week. Have a good one. - It was having SIM card issues in Sicily. - Mm. Now he's in Greece. Oof. - Oh, buddy, Mike Rocket there is in Greece. - All the rockets are all over Micanos. - Been sending Billy and I pictures of Micanos. I've never seen anything like it. - Yeah, it's my bucket list. I would go there. - Mine too. - Yeah, he said Billy would love where he is 'cause it's the gay capital of Europe. - I know, I got that Texas word. - Right. - Well, even your friends like that, that's sad. - Okay, really, we were in P town. Mike was the only one that got hit on, okay? - Yeah, honestly, Mike is inviting. I feel like Mike's easy to talk to. His aura is very open and like, - It is, yeah, he likes to chat. - What are you saying about me? What's wrong with my aura? - Yeah, yeah. - Well, that's a little questionable sometimes, but anyway, speaking of gay. - Good morning, it's the mayor of the South Bend. Summer, lovein', had me a blast. It's the end of summer. So come on over to the Colony rooftop hotel and to celebrate the end of summer. And certain blood types are attracted to that triple E. My blood type is channel one, of course. And I wanna welcome all the college boys back to town. - Woo! - Have a great day. Now, the entertainment update with Billy Costa. - Well, somebody's gonna have a great day at 7.10 this morning because we were giving away Billy Eilish take it, she comes to the TD guard in October 11. Totally sold out show. Kettle one is my vodka choice as well. - I was thinking the same thing. - Yeah, mine too. - Maybe we should be hanging out with the mayor of the South end at the rooftop at the Colony Hotel. - You'd fit right in, Bill. - Travis and Jason Kelsey are waking up this morning $100 million richer. They did the much anticipated podcast deal with Amazon's Wondery Plus. What do we know about Wondery Plus? - Not really up on Wondery Plus Plus. - They obviously, they have a hundred million dollars to spend. - Apparently because according to this deal, their New Heights podcast will still be widely available on podcast platforms but will be available early and ad-free on Wondery Plus. - Alright now. - 100 million, 100 million, Travis. - Alright now. - Yeah, you got it, babe. - Wondery Plus is its own platform, like own app. - I guess so, yeah. I mean, you would know before I knew. - I've never heard of it. Justin, have you? - I had never heard of it, no. - No. - No, it's a, yeah, it's a podcast platform it looks like. - It is true crime business, comedy or sports podcasts. All on Wondery Plus. - So as if they needed it, Travis and Taylor Swift have something else to celebrate now. And I guess any kind of a pre-nup is really not necessary now because-- - He's moving into some Taylor money there. - Yeah. - Right, yeah. - They both have Taylor money. - They got Taylor money. - Man. By the way, I don't know if you knew this but their podcast was named podcast of the year at the 2024 I-Hard podcast award. - It's a really good podcast. - Yeah, it should have won it, it was great. - Yeah, really good podcast. And they have a new episode out today. And today's episode will have Adam Sandler as their guest. - Oh, that's fun. - They're venturing really off from sports now. - Yeah, well Happy Gilmore too, Travis is gonna be in. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm sure they'll talk about that. - That'll be a good conversation. Those two with Adam Sandler. - Yeah. - Arba Hosir is canceling outdoor postponing shows with vocal problems, he has a virus. Just thought I'd share that with you and-- - That isn't too sweet. - No. - Wow, Justin, that was like your dad joke of the morning. - Too sweet. - Yeah, 'cause it's on. - Of course. - Halsey confirming the new album On The Way. Don't forget, she's been really sick. What is it that she's had? - Lupus and Cancer. - Oh my God. She dropped the trailer yesterday. - I really thought this album might be the last one I ever made. When you get sick like that, you start thinking about ways it could have all been different. What if this isn't how it all went down? - Wow, it's pretty heavy. She almost lost her life. - Yeah. - It was really, really serious. - Oh, some of the pictures of her in the hospital bed were scary. - You'll see her at the I Heart Radio Music Festival in September. - Oh, that's right. Two nights in September, the I Heart Radio Music Festival. Hey, you know who finally showed up? Harry Styles, where's he been? He's been working on new music. - Well, he showed up at Niall Horan's show in Manchester, England. He didn't jump on stage though. He was just in the audience dancing. - He's out and about. He's working on something. Supposedly, he broke up with a girlfriend, so now he's kind of out there working on new music, visiting friends. - Who was the girlfriend? - She was an actress, beautiful. - Well, she had the big Harry Styles. - Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if 2025 is the year of Harry Styles. - Oh, totally. - It comes back. - Big huge comeback. - And I'm looking forward to it. - Yeah, we don't forget, he went on. That tour he went on was like two years. - It was. - Oh, that's right. - Yeah. - And you went? - I did, Madison Square Garden. - Mm-hmm. New York City, baby. Home of the brave. Whoa. Carrie Underwood is gonna have a big year coming up 'cause she's gonna replace Katy Perry on American Idol 20, 20 years after she won American Idol. - I think I can be honest and constructive, but still kind. And I think that's the whole point 'cause people are coming in and, you know, it's dreams. And you're a part of somebody's story from that moment on. So I think it's important to be honest, but I think it's also very important to be kind. - What's interesting is it kind of sounds like Katy Perry there. - A little bit. - A little bit? - No. - But okay, a little bit. - Lisa, you can appreciate this next story because the Dunavans were recently in Iceland walking the glaciers. Did you kiss the rocks or something? - No, I did not, but I guess I was supposed to. - Well, Ludacris was in Alaska and he drank potentially dangerous glacier water. Check it out right here. - Listen, man, half the world's glaciers are here in Alaska. I couldn't come here and just have a show. You know, I got a bucket list. So as I like to call it the bucket list, I've never tasted fresh, glacial water ever in my life. And this is the first. - Oh my God. - It's weird because my son, my younger son Riley told me to do that. He's like, you gotta drink the water. And I was like, I don't think that's a very good idea. - Oh, did Riley drink the water? - I don't think so. - So he wanted to taste it. - He wanted to do it, but he wasn't gonna do it. - Hmm, wow. I'd love to go to Alaska. - Oh, it looks beautiful there. - Right? The video of Ludacris drinking the water looks incredible. - Yeah, that's funny. Alaska really not on my bucket list. - It's an, Alaska's important bill. - Let's get better acquainted with Alaska so we can understand why it's so important to us. - Okay. - Alaska's vast undeveloped regions are a storehouse of natural wealth. There are magnificent mountain ranges bearing precious ores of gold, silver, and copper. And along the coastline, there are untapped deposits of oil. - You know what I did do though with the water? I rubbed it all over my body. Like all my arms and stuff. - Oh, really? - Yeah. I don't know. - Sounds like a moment. - No, I don't know. I just felt like... - Did it feel refreshing? I don't know. - Everybody else around you. Are you rubbing it all over yourself? - No, I was just on my arms. I mean, 'cause it was so cold there. It wasn't like we were in our bathing suits, but I don't know. I just wanted to feel that water. - Water. - Yeah. - All right now. - Oh my god. (laughing) - This is already off to a very wacky life. - Oh, it's gonna be crazy. Trust me. God, I am so tired. The brothers from Oasis are back together, launching a series of shows in England. They've had a long-standing, well-documented feud, and let's not forget, they gave us Wonderwall. ♪ 'Cause baby ♪ ♪ You're gonna be the one that saved me ♪ - I'm telling Justin and Riley how excited I am to have Oasis back. - He refused to even do the story, Lisa. He said it was a non-story. - No, this is a big deal. - Oh, it's a big deal. - And you know what? - Haley is somehow from the 1975 is somehow connected to, and I guess there's a new clip that resurfaced, and he was like telling them to get back together to like put their differences behind. - If Maddie Haley supports the reason, that's a problem. - Yeah, if I was listening to any sort of advice for Maddie Haley, I need to just move to Alaska. - No, but I mean, I don't even follow Oasis. I know the one song, but even I knew that was a big deal. - Oh yeah. - They hate it. - I know. - Oh my god. - All I know is when I was younger at a party, if a dude pulled out a guitar at the party and sang Wonderwall, he was going home with a girl that night. - Oh yeah. You heard a party where a guy broke out a guitar? - A couple of times. - Really? - Yeah. - Yellowstone is definitely coming back, but without Kevin Costner, and I'm kind of happy about that. I was sick of him with this fake cowboy action. - Are you kidding me? You wish you were him. - Well, you are. Wish you washy. - Yeah. You fantasize about being him. - You have to do a Kevin Costner story every day in the entertainment report. - Well, because I'm a huge Yellowstone fan, and you know, "Horizon" was a big flop, but the characters played by Kelly Riley and Cole Houser. I don't like Kelly Riley's character, but I think Cole Houser is the show, and it's gonna be a six season coming to Paramount, and Cole Houser, don't forget, was in Goodwill Hunting. He was one of their friends hanging out at the bar. - Oh, thank you for reminding me. It's a little fun fact. - I don't want to forget that. - Got enough stuff you get here. Okay, the iPhone 16 series is on its way. There's an event September 9th, Monday, one o'clock. It'll take place at Steve Jobs Theater, and yeah, they're gonna be announcing a lot of different stuff, but the iPhone 16 is the deal. Is that gonna change anybody's life? - It's supposed to have some really good upgrades. There's gonna be some good chat GPT upgrades with Siri, which is cool. There's another feature, right, where you will be able to control your phone with your eyes. - Oh, okay. - A little weird, but-- - But the thing about the new iPhones is when you do the iOS update, you get all the new things, really, anyways, it's-- - Not all of them, but a lot of them, yes, you do. - A lot of them you do, so it's like, you don't necessarily need the new phone all the time. I know the eye thing you probably need the new phone for, but most of it, you can get the upgrades on the iOS update. The last couple of upgrades haven't been that great. This one you're saying is gonna be considerably better. - Will you get it? - Yes. - Will you get it? - I mean, eventually, I'll though force me too, when my battery dies. - Same with me, I'll have to, eventually. - So you're getting it too? - Well, eventually. But the thing now is they do have, the newer ones have that universal USB charger, like Billy's Samsung now. - Well, Samsung is the advanced technology. I've said that from the beginning. Everybody knows that. It's so funny, it's so advanced, you don't know how to use your iPhone. - Yeah, you can't do anything. - That's in the irony, man. They keep talking about how Samsung is an advanced technology over iPhone. I don't use 10% of the technology available in my Samsung. - No, you don't use 95% of it. - Yeah, it's... - I gotta say, I can barely turn it on. - I gotta say Joe Rogan just switched from iPhone to Samsung. - See, I told you. - I told you. - Because of technology. - He went green. - He did. - Oh, God. - It's the phone of the future. And finally, Sean Mendez has been added to the iHeart, no, to the VMAs. - Back to me. - He said he got iHeart, oh, it's the VMAs. - Yep. - September 11th. - He's back out there. Just like Harry Styles. - What's he gonna perform? - I wanna his new song, I guess. - So the new year is gonna feature big comebacks by Sean Mendez and Harry Styles. - Hopefully. - Oh God, I can't sleep at night. And we're brought to you by Ocean Edge, resorting golf club. It was an experience that quintessential Cape Cod summer. It's not too late. By the way, September, October will be beautiful there. You've gotta check it out. It was named Best Hotel Cape Cod by Boston Magazine, the villas, the rooms, the private beach, the swimming pools.

Billy Eilish is coming to town. October 11th, she'll be at the TD Garden. Now, you gotta, I'm telling you, this show sold out in seconds. Everybody wants to see Billy Eilish in Boston, the TD Garden. But only one person listening right now will be going. Okay, I need caller 25 at 617-931-1108. You know the drill. You're gonna need a code word. And the code word is Billy. - Oh, okay. Well, I had to know. - Billy is gonna be the code word. - He just changed it on us. - Yeah. - Well, Billy is giving away Billy. It makes sense. - Yeah, exactly. - You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, there you go. We talk about how high key excited Lisa is for Oasis to get back together. When Billy was reading that story, did you hear? Well, yes. - Yeah, Oasis is getting back together. The brothers are finally gonna make up. Billy does not care one bit. We're all happy though. - Yeah, I like when people put feuds behind them, right? - Yeah, yeah. This was an ugly one. - Yeah. - This is brother. - Brothers, yeah. - Yeah, this one was deep rooted. - Mm, sibling hate. - Yeah, but come on, dude, hit machines. ♪ Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you ♪ ♪ By now, you should ♪ - What, Bill, you're shaking your head. You don't like Oasis? - It's very kumbaya to me. Give me another one. You have another one? - Billy, opposite kumbaya, they've been feuding. - No, I mean, the music. That's the ultimate irony of Oasis. The music is very kumbaya, but they're killing each other. - We're a little champagne supernova. - Oh, they did that? - Yeah. - I love that song. - It's a great song. - It's an Oasis. - Oasis, back. - They had great intros of songs. - Yeah. - I feel like a lot of the great hooks, but also great intros. - But they're all so silent, can't wait. ♪ She knows it's too late ♪ ♪ 'Cause we're walking out by ♪ - They kinda, in almost every song, they kinda sound like they're on a verge of a fight. - Right? It's almost like while he's singing, he's looking at the crowd with one eye and looking at his brother with the other eye with hatred, thinking about how he's gonna get back at the brother. - I don't know. I guess Maddie Haley played a part. - He did. - Well, there you go. - Yeah. - Which is a little weird. - Yeah. - But, I mean, everybody wants them to get back together. - Doesn't it seem like Maddie Haley would be a good fit for them? - Yeah. - At three of them, they could just kill each other. They could just sit up there and rip butts on stage. - I'm kidding. You can't take anything I say seriously. I don't know anything about Oasis. - No, I know. The boats got you stressed out. - Oh, more than you know. - You're very stressed out. - It's just crazy. Let's go to Christina. We'll make her happy. Hey, Christina. - Hi. How are you? - Good, Christina. Hey, where you callin' from? - I'm calling from Holbrook. - Oh, nice. Well, you don't hear much about Holbrook. - No, it's very small. - There's a good pedicure place there, though. Christina, if you need a good pedicure. - Oh, is it MJ's? - No, Alor. Next to CBS on the Brace line. - Oh, I do. - Yeah, very good pedicure. - Can we get to the bill? - Can we get to the bill? - Christina, I don't know where you're going for your pedicures. - Oh, you've got another option now. - Yeah. Do they do waxing there? - Yeah, they do. - Well, there you go, Christina. You can get a Brazilian before you go to the bill. I was shocked. Do you have the code word? - Billy. - You've got that right. Billy is the code word, and now you've got tickets for Billy Eilish. Okay? - I'm so excited. Thank you so much. - Please say hello to Holbrook for us. (laughing) - Hey, don't forget, 9/10 this morning, we're giving away a trip to Vegas to the I/O Radio Music Festival that's $1,000 plus a trip to Vegas. That's pretty cool, but coming up next, it's back to school. Are you a parent saying, "Hallelujah," or are you crying your eyes out? Do you wanna talk to you? We'll do that next, and kiss one of you. - Billy and Lisa. - Kiss 108. - Okay, back to school. It's a big day, right? - Yes. - Today, a lot of school systems go back today. - It's always staggered, but a lot seem to be going back two days. So this is a big day for kids, teachers, and also their parents. - Mm. - I can't believe they're going back to school with a great day that says, "What do you want to do one?" - Oh, yeah. - When do you want to go? - Speaking of that, my niece Lila is going to third grade today in Walpole. And then my niece Mia starts Tuesday kindergarten, so that's big do-ins in our family. They're very smart little girls. They're better readers than me. That's not really-- - Well, have a great school year, girls. - Yes, have a great school year. - And it's always still strange to me that schools all go back at different times. Didn't they used to all go back on the same day? - I think maybe, but, you know, they're staggered for a reason, but yeah, but my kids go back on the fourth, so. - See, that makes sense to me. You get through the summer, you get through the Labor Day weekend, and it's time to go back. - Well, a lot of the schools are going today and tomorrow, and then have Friday off and Monday off. - Right. - Yeah. - I think it's to get a couple days in before-- - I just in case there's a snow problem, you never know. - Justin, how are the talk backers handling back to school? - They're doing okay. Yeah. I mean, parents are happy. I know that my wife is jumping for joy right now. - I bet. - They made my son's birthday. He drove us crazy the last two days. - Did you get him a new backpack, new sneakers, all that kind of stuff? - Yeah, we got him all that. We got him some sneakers last night. He wanted white sneakers. We tried to talk him out of it, but he creased them already, which is like a dagger in the heart to me when he creased the sneaker. - Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. - But we're excited, you know? - I think of you, Justin, because of all the mornings you'll say to me, "Yeah, I got to get right home. I got to get home real fast because the kids are home." - That was Justin. - Justin's working, yeah. - 'Cause I didn't have camp the last two days of summer. - Yeah, both kids. - "I got to go. I got to go. I got to go." - They're just sitting around, like waiting for school to start at a certain point. - Yeah. - Board, board. And then when you get the text from the wife that says E-T-A, question mark. - Oh, yeah. - It's not even like, "Hey, what time are you going to be home?" It's like, "Eat. What time are you going to be home?" - Yeah. And then when you get home, they're like, "At the door, say, 'Fine, you're home. Here they are. Here. Your turn. You got them." - I'm going in my room. - Yeah. - But yeah, it's crazy. Stoningham, though, is not done. - Yes. - Did you post Stoneham? - It's Stoneham. - It's Stoneham. - It's okay. They were supposed to go back today, but they're not. - Well, construction delays in the high school. - Yeah. - There's a shark. - That's crazy. Yeah, they were interviewing some of the kids outside the school. - When I heard about it, I was like, "Yes." Because I got to spend more time at home and enjoy summer a little bit more. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah. - That's good, 'cause today's going to be really hot. - Yeah. - Oh, I know. - It's a beach day. I was wondering that since a lot of schools don't have AC. - Right. Well, maybe they'll be doing a lot of outdoor classroom work today around, you know, they'll all sit in a circle. - Yeah. - It's so cute. - It's going to be very humid, though. - Yeah, it'll be fun, I know. It's always kind of fun. Meet the new teachers, meet the new students. - Do they still have outdoor recess? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Oh, of course they do. - I used to love that. - Yeah. - Oh, gosh, yeah. - Yeah. - Do you think they just keep them inside all day, Bill? They keep them locked up all day now? - No, I didn't know. It's been a long time. My kids have been out of school for so long. I didn't know if recess was still a thing. - No, it's definitely still a thing. It's my son's favorite class. - Yeah. - Oh, you go outside. You play a kickball. - He's everybody. He still do. - They do dodgeball kick, although you're probably not allowed to play dodgeball anymore. - Yup, soccer. - No, they play dodgeball. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, they play football. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, they run around the whole playoff. - Yeah. - So, yeah, I know some parents are sad, especially those little little ones, like going to first greater kindergarten, like when he's nice, you know, it's emotional, but the ones that are a little bit older, you're like, go. - Yeah. I don't know. - Just go. - Good morning, everyone. Let's not forget our teachers who are heading off to work today to greet your little cherubs on their first day of school. I hope everyone has an awesome day. - I know. - Yeah, by the way, teachers too have it tough because they started going in a couple of weeks earlier to set up the classrooms. They do a lot of work for them to be creative. - Most, a lot of teachers have their own kids. - Yeah. - Right? - Yeah. - So, they've got double duty. They're shipping their kids out to school and then they go back, they go into the classroom. - I can't imagine taking care of 25 plus kids all day long and then going home and having to take care of my own children. - It's a lot. - Not for a lot of children. - I would be a heavy drinker. (laughter) - You know? I can't imagine in the classroom all day with like 25, even 30 kids in some classrooms. - No, I have a high respect now for teachers, way more than I did when I was younger. You know, they're taking care of our kids, you know, day in and day out. - Not very much though. - And their problems. - It's not easy. - No. - That's for sure. - God. It's a crazy time in the year for everybody, crazy time in the year. But it's back to school time and you know what else, it's topic time. And that's got to be the topic, right? Everybody's talking about it. - Well, yeah, if your kids are going back, what's the one thing you're looking forward to most? - Yeah, like when that door closes to the school bus and they're gone for the first time, all summer long, what's the first thing you're planning like, "Oh my God, I can't believe I can't wait to what?" But anyway, we'll take your calls and your thoughts on back to school 6179311108. Justin, talk back, how do they get there? - I heart radio app the red microphone there and we'll take some emotional parents too. - Oh yeah. - We'll mix those in too, but yeah, we want to hear what your hallelujah moment's going to be today. - Keeps 108. - What is the topic? - Today we're going to be talking about... - Billy and Lisa present topic time. - Talk amongst yourself. - Topic time. - Well, we're going to talk amongst ourselves and we're going to talk with everybody else because it's back to school week, it's back to school day for a lot of cities and towns today. We mentioned earlier this morning, Stonum was supposed to go back today, but that's all till next week. - Right. - They had construction issues at the new high school. - Right. - It's always slightly staggered, but it seems like a lot of kids are going back to that. - Oh yeah. Everybody's freaked out. Let's start with Corrie. Corrie, good morning. What's your story? - Good morning. I'm a first grade teacher in Rutland, math, and we started yesterday, but I also have a little kindergartner on my own starting tomorrow, kind of in the middle of both aspects of it. - Well, we were talking about that. - Yeah. - A lot of teachers have to do both. - Yeah. It's crazy. I'm in the thick of it right now. I can't really go with her to her orientation today, so my husband's going to take the reins on that, so hopefully it goes well for her. - I can't even imagine what it's like for you. So you've got a full classroom of kids, and now you've got a kid that's going to school, you and your husband are trying to juggle everything. - Yeah. And we have a one-year-old who doesn't sleep well. - Oh, my God. - Oh, my God. - Oh, my goodness. - Oh, I hear that. - You're in the thick of it. - Yeah. But, you know, you just count your blessings, everybody's healthy, and do them well, so. - That's true. - Well, thank you for listening to us, and thank you for checking in, and good luck on the new school year. - Yeah, thank you. Shout out to my little kindergartner, Tess, and to my first graders at Mayquag Elementary. - And beautiful Rutland, Massachusetts. - Really? Do you know what Rutland is? - No idea. - No idea. I could actually find Rutland for Mom, and that's a lot easier than Rutland, Massachusetts. - Thanks. - You know, you just go right up there. Let's go to Megan. Megan, you're next. Tell us your story. - Good morning, guys, so just like the last caller, I am a teacher starting my 24th year. - Oh, good for you. - I can hear her. I had two little kids, but today I have a freshman in college. A freshman senior, and we're all starting today. - Wow. - Milestone. - That's crazy. - It is crazy. - How about your college kid, is he going far away, or? - He's going to Roger Williams University, and we only live 15 minutes away, so he's commuting the first couple of years. He's being smart about it. - Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's good. - Yeah. - And then a freshman in high school. What town again? - She goes to Dartmouth, hi, and I teach in Lakeville. - Oh, okay, so Shell Coast, obviously Rhode Island, yeah. - Hey, do you know that Lakeville is the one and only vacation week I had as a child? - Oh, I know, your kiss, your first kiss there, right? - Oh, yeah, you know the story. - Oh, she knows. - She was from Texas. - No. - Buena Vista Shores, does that still exist? - Yeah, that's not really that nice anymore. - It wasn't that nice name on it. - It never was. I never thought the name matched the place. - That sounds really amazing. - Buena Vista Shores, you know. - Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, a lot of teachers, you know, going back to happy, be back in the classroom, but bum the summers over. - It's nice to see the kids excited for school. The parents excited to send their kids back to school, and then you realize that you, yourself, you are the back to school, because you are the teacher, and your long vacation has ended. I sound pretty bitter. I'm very excited to start the new year, but just wish summer was ending. - Yeah, a lot of people wish it was endless summer. Every year, everybody says, same time this year, can't believe the summer's over. Boy, that summer full of buy. - You know, when I was younger, my dad used to say, "Oh, July 4th, summer's over," and I'm like, "Are you crazy?" Sorry, and now that I'm an adult, he's right. He's so right. - Really? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Once the fourth is over, you get some summers old. - Yeah. - Mentally. - Yeah, just in general. - Well, if you walk around the stores, they start putting all the backpacks out, back to school pencils and everything. - Oh, yeah. - It's crazy. - The other thing that's crazy that I just, I can't figure out for the life of me. I mean, I know why they do it, but teachers, you know, they end the school year, right? They think the summer off, and they stop listening to our show. Like they just, you guys are not driving to work. - I don't think so. - It's salty about it. - Huh? - It makes me a little salty that they just think they can take the summer off from us. - Yeah. But then they always come back, which we love. - Hello again to my favorite morning show people. The teacher is back today. No kids till next week, so good luck for those people jumping. You've been in with the kiddos today, but I am happy to hear your voices. Happy to be back. I'm sure you've missed me too, right? - We have missed you. We've missed all of you. - Yeah. - And again, a reminder. - Yeah. - When you take the summer off, you can listen in your house on your smart speaker on your phone. - At any time of the day or night. - Yeah. It's free. Anyway. Oh, look who it is. - Hi, everybody. It's Abel. I hope you guys had a great night. It's time for me to go back to school today. And I hope you guys have a good school year, and don't go to the principal's office. And I just want to give a shout out to my new teacher, Ms. Hilton and all the other second-grade teachers. - Oh, thank you. - Thank you. - Good luck, Abel. - Yeah. - I love Abel, like members of my own family, but he's going to wear out a path to the principal's office. Let's be honest. - Well, I like how he's starting off the school year, right? - Yeah. - Right? - No, he's actually doing a lot better now. - Yeah. - And so, yeah, they love him over there. And his teacher, the Baron in Salem, New Hampshire, Mrs. Hilton, shout out to her. - And it's so cool that he sent us a talk back. - Well, look who his dad is. - Yeah. - They call me the gosh father. - Oh, God, yeah. He's got to get on that. - Yeah, he knows what's up. He knows what to do. That's awesome. Back to the phones we go. Karen, you're up next. What's your deal? - Hi. This is Kareem. I'm the funnest teacher at Concord Middle School, and I am colonned because I am super excited to go back to school. Today is my first day with my students. - Oh, nice. Concord. - Yeah. - Good old... - You know, beautiful Concord. Justin, you spent a lot of time. - Oh, they didn't even do today. - Yeah, not today. - I have to say, my kids always love their Spanish class. They love it. - I like it. - Love it. Love it. Love it. - What was your class like in that? - Oh, my God. - I'm sorry. Can you talk to her? - I know. I'm trying. I'm trying. Go ahead and repeat that. - She's saying the thing. - I was saying that I love my job. I... We do music, we do some a little cooking, it's very interactive, and I believe that teaching should be handsome, but just memorizing charts and birth conjugation and a lot of that. - Wow. Did you say you do cooking in class? - Yes. We read a book and bring ingredients that are related to the culture that we beat. - It's so great. It's so informative and the kids love Spanish class. - Yeah. I want to be in your class. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Billy speaks Spanish. - I got it. He got it. - Is that really him? - Yes. - That's when Enrique Santos was in studio. - Oh, no. Do it again. Do it again. - Yeah. - I got it. He got it. - Enrique Santos. - Enrique Santos. - That's a her, the Spanish teacher. What was her name? - Karlie de la Cruz. Hernandez. - Okay. - That's awesome. - Let's go to Lauren next, Lauren. What's your story? - Good morning gang. I am happily retired and not returning to school this year. It is the best feeling in the world. - So are you calling a quote because the rest of us have to go to work? - Yeah. Sorry, Winnie. It's going to be your turn, honey, someday. I'm promise. - Well, you know what? You've earned your right to go. - Totally. - I sure have 34 years. - So what are you going to do with yourself now? - That feeling, anything and everything I want. - You need to be up at 7.48 in the morning. Why aren't you sleeping? - Well, you know, I don't know. - Come on. - I was into the morning show. - You got it. You're having your hallelujah moment. - Yeah. - She's having her coffee with us. - She's jumping down it. - Yeah. - And I just want to shout out to Justin. I am a former Barren School Bobcat. Best school ever. - There we go. - There we go. - Where's that? - Yeah, Barren School in Salem, New Hampshire. - So nice. - That's where Abel goes. - That's where he goes. - I'm Bobcats. - He's a bad guy. - He's a bad guy. - Yeah. You know what? We love all the teachers. - Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I've got to tell you, I don't have any sympathy for these teachers going back. You had a whole summer while the rest of us were still working. - Okay. All right. - So no sympathy. - Okay. All right. Well, we don't want to go negative. - I don't think we're out. - We're not. - No. - We're just embracing everybody in every situation. - Yeah. And I don't ever kind of disagree with that because, you know, first of all, teachers don't make nearly what they should be making. A and B, yeah, they get the summer off, but they work so hard they've got a classroom full of kids every day. - They do. And they worked over the summer too. A lot of them are in. - A lot of them do. - They do. And they work really hard to have their classroom set up creatively. They do their homework, I think, most of the summer too. - They do. Yeah. - So there. - That lady was there. That lady was a little salty. - Yeah. And a little salty. - You could have became a teacher if you wanted the summer off, honey. - Yeah, a little bit. And the teacher who's having her first year of retirement, I want to know what that's like. She's just going to get up every morning and not have to go anywhere or do anything. Ah, and might as well say it when he pension. - I know. - Oh, the pension. - That's a good thing about being a teacher, pension. - Yeah. All right. Well, here come the teachers. - I want you to know that I am a teacher and I do not take the summer off from you. So thank you for giving a shout out to teachers and Abel is just adorable. Have a great day. - Oh, thank you very much. - He really is a cool kid. He handled that very well. - He did. Well spoken. - He poised. My wife texted me actually. She said he's literally off the rails hyper this morning excited. - Oh, yeah. See, that's good. - He's excited. - I like that. Yeah. - Go see all his friends. - Yep. - So how old is Abel? - He's seven. - I remember that last year for first grade on the very first day of school, like today, Billy told him on the air live to just skip school. Yeah, you know, don't, you know, just different. - You make a statement on the first day. You play hooky. - Yeah. - Don't, yeah. Don't listen to Uncle Bill. - Everybody in school knows who you are. - Yeah. All right. Let's give a shout out to all the happy parents today. Do as close on the bus, just feed yourself, get expensive coffees, honestly, all your own self-care. Take care of kids all summer is expensive. Just feed them. It's expensive on your sanity, just love yourself, give yourself drinks and food and enjoy it. - Yeah. Lots of drinks. Yeah. What do you say, Bill? - Oh, my gosh.
