Now, best morning show in Boston. - Billie and Lisa in the morning. - It's just a great start to my day. On kiss 108. (upbeat music) - Good morning, everybody, and happy Friday. Here we go, it's another big Friday show, the Billie and Lisa morning show. What's the weather gonna be like today and for the weekend, Lisa? - You know, it's gonna be cooler today, like temps in the '70s, a cloudy start, but you'll see some sun later. - Some sun later. - Yep, you'll see some later. - And then the weekend's gonna be much nicer than they said earlier this week. - Yeah, it's not gonna be a total washout. - Yeah, sun and clouds for the most part. - Yeah, '70s, like, it'll feel cool on Sunday. It'll be like 70 for a high, but it'll be sunny. - And then beautiful all next week? - Yes. - Wow. - So tomorrow, Saturday, Lisa, it's gonna be-- - Cloudy. - No rain during the day. - Yeah, no, '70s and cloudy. - Yeah, you're good. - I'm good. - Yeah. - I'm good. - And we get problems on the red line this morning to talk about. - Yeah, so this is a big travel alert, so starting today, through the 29th of September, they're gonna be busing if you're on the red line between the Braintree branch, between JFK UMass and Braintree. So it's the Quincy Adams, Quincy Center, Braintree, Walliston, North Quincy. Those stops, they'll be busing because they're trying to improve the speed and do some track work, so. - And I guess there were a lot of traffic delays and no show buses and everything for the opening day in Boston yesterday. - Oh, for Boston Public Schools. - Yeah, what's that time of year? It's that time of year. Sabrina's Secret Sound still no winner, the V bros tried yesterday, Justin, right? But no winner. - Is it a vacuum? - That would be incorrect. - It is not a vacuum. - The only vacuum cleaner with dual suction, it's a singer. - It is not a singer. - Well, at least it was a different guess other than the espresso machine. - Yeah, twice. Yesterday. - They're trying to name it. Which one of her songs talks about vacuuming? - Anything, suction? - Yeah. - Well, you know what? They're all trying their best. - They're trying their best. - I'm not a big Sabrina Carpenter fan, but I am really competitive. So I looked her up on the Billboard charts and read the lyrics to her top five or six songs. And I mean, come on, it's so easy. - We've been saying this. - Yeah. - If you wanna play the secrets, that's Sabrina's Secret Sound. Just study the lyrics of the big songs. - The clues are in the lyrics. - They are. We're talking nonsense, feather. Please, please, please. - Yeah. - Espresso. - Espresso is like the only song I think anyone thinks that she has. - Well, it's such a big song. - Yeah. - The song of summer. - And everyone's trying to play this game. - Captain Mike here from the Talkback Mafia. That's it. I'm out of this contest. How many people are gonna save that answer? And that's not the only song Sabrina Carpenter has. - I mean, Captain Mike's out here playing. - It's so true. - And even he knows she has more than one song. - Even he knows. - Yeah, the songs that we play, all the hits. - We play lots of her songs. - Right. - But the most you can ask for in a game on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show is Passion. And that's what we're getting. We're getting Passion with the Sabrina's Secret Sound. We'll do it again at 710. We'll give them another shot, right? - Yes, yes, 710. - I feel confident. I feel good about today. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I would like to see a 710 winner so we can have a new sound at 810. - There you go. - That'd be great. That would make it a big Friday show. - Remember this? - Are you kidding me with how easy that secret sound was? - No point. - It was just like the rowing tickets that people. - Yeah, not anymore. - Yeah, apparently not. - Not so much. - Yeah, what do you want to say now? Anyway, last night the Chiefs pulled it off, 27-26. It came down to the wire, very cool play though. The guy who almost scored the game-winning touchdown but his toe went just outside the end zone is from Cambridge, Massachusetts, went to Cambridge, Ringen, Latin, where I went. - What's his name? - Isaiah Lakeley. - Isaiah Lakeley. - Yeah, I'm seeing you year transfer to course to Everett. - Right, the powerhouse. - I wonder if he did turkey toss. - I would hope so, right? - Oh my God, because I mean- - Isaiah Lakeley, don't we keep the lineups so years later from turkey toss? - He's only 24, so he would have been like six or seven years ago. - Well, then he definitely played the turkey toss or was at least at turkey toss because, you know, I mean, Everett is usually the juggernaut. - They are. - Multiple year winners. So I thought that was a cool story. We'll have the final play coming up in entertainment. I want to give a shout out to the nurses and the staff at Winchester Hospital. My wife Michelle had surgery there yesterday and said they were absolutely incredible. - How's she feeling? - She feels okay, and I'm sure she'll feel a little better today. Yeah, she came home. I picked her up at the hospital. - Oh, right. Okay. - Do you want to like the round up brownies? - You want brownies? - I probably sounded like I did. - No, we are okay. Good for you. - Thank you for listening to her help. - Hello, Bill. (applause) - Wow, what a good husband you are. - I'm trying to get the bio in out. (laughing) - Well, you don't want to balance that off. I should probably say because I was here yesterday, she took an Uber to the hospital. - Oh, well, I wasn't going to bring that up. - Well, I just did, okay? - Well, okay, well, that's questionable. - Honey, welcome home. - Yeah. - I'm glad she's feeling that. - You let her Uber to surgery? - He had the food show you had to do. - Okay. - Well, you know what, you know, I'm a working bee. - And I want to make a note that this was the day after we did a segment about what husbands do and don't do. And he called Michelle, his wife, her master, and she said you are the perfect part. - Well, she lied. - There is nothing wrong. And then the next day, take an Uber. - Yeah. - If my girlfriend let me Uber to surgery, we wouldn't be together. - Why do we bring that up? - Why do we bring that up? - Why do we bring that up in my mouth? (laughing) - That's funny. - Lisa, if I brought that up on the air, he would have came in here raging when we went to commercial. - Oh, and Justin, if you had your wife, Uber to surgery, he'd be all over you. - Oh, yeah. The whole show. That would be the whole show. - What a husband you are, buddy. - Is there any way we can edit that out? - No, it's saying everyone needs to know what a questionable husband you are right now. - God, what a moron. - Oh, God. - Well, I'm glad that she's saying. - I'm glad and hello. - Yeah. - Well, let me put it this way. You wouldn't let me drive her. - Oh, Shosh. If you said I'm coming hell or high water, she would have loved it. - Wow. - This started as a nice shout out to the staff and the Russians. - No, no, no. - At Winchester Hospital. - You shot yourself in the foot bill with saying, you know what? I even picked her up. - Yeah, please edit that. Can we edit that for the rest of the morning? - I'll try. - But pull Michelle, you know, she's having surgery and probably has some fear, some anxiety. And there's Bill. - You're listening to Food for Thought with Billie and Jenny. It's by you by the Box Center. - Oh. (laughing) - You know, it's Billie into 60 minutes, you know? - You know what it is? My wife's a hearty gal. She wanted to take into a room. - She looks out. - I got this. - Yep, she's in pain. She looks out the window. - I'm your Uber. - There's a Uber. (laughing) You did this to yourself. - Oh, no, no, no. No need to know any of this. - Yeah, I can't even go home. (laughing) Can I just sit outside the studio for the rest of the show? - Uh, but we do have entertainment coming up. We have a lot to talk about. First and foremost, of course, the opener last night of the NFL will have clips from that. Taylor Swift was in the suite, but. Was not paying much attention to Brittany Mahomes. It was that because of Brittany's support for Trump. Yeah, she was hanging out with mom and dad. - Oh, man. - Anyway, entertainment is up next. - Billie, you let your wife Uber to the hospital for surgery. Don't put yourself out, dude. (laughing) - From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios. We're back with Billie and Lisa in the morning on Kiss 108. - Yeah, we're back. It's a big Friday show and entertainment is standing by. Justin, I want to ask you for some talkbacks, but I'm really afraid to ask you for some talkbacks because I know where you're gonna go. - No, I'm not gonna, you and you abandoning your wife when she had surgery. - I did not abandon. - We're gonna move away from that. - Thank you. - Oh, come on. - Yeah, no, we'll move away from that. - Were there some talkbacks, though? - It's Friday. There was a bunch here. - Okay, I'm sure. - A lot of disappointment, but you picked her up, so that's good. (laughing) - Why aren't you aiming back? - Yeah, exactly. But listen, if you are listening to the Billie and Lisa show, you do not have the iHeartRadio app, make sure you get it. It's free to download. You listen to us, you tap the red microphone. It's called a talkback. That message comes to me and I'll put you on the radio. - Hey Justin, it's attorney Ken. I saw Beetlejuice last night. Oh my gosh, it was even better than the first one. I know you have Markman movie nerd in today. Excited to hear his thoughts on it. Catherine O'Hara, every time she spoke the entire theater, like burst into laughter, she was even funnier than she was in "Schitt's Creek." It's such a good movie. And all I have to say is Donna Summer, wait and see. Okay, bye. - I love it. - Wow, I want to go to the theater to see this movie. - Me too. - And that's cool. We got the early review was in. - Yep. - Yeah, early review. There you go. - Good morning. It's the mayor of the South Bend. I want to wish everybody happy Friday. Now I know probably Justin won't play this, but I just got my tickets to see boy George. He's coming to the Wayne Center on September 13. And I'm going to see him and he is an 80s legend. And I just want to say, could you play Justin's favorite song to Winnie every morning by boy George? Do you really want to hurt me Winnie? - Woo! Have a great weekend. - And Squeeze is joining boy George on stage at the box center. - Wow. - If you go. - Yeah. - Hey Winnie. ♪ Do you really want to hurt me ♪ - Now the entertainment update for the Billy Costa. - Okay, let's do it tonight on ABC. The Karen Read Trial, a clip from her sit down interview was released last night read talking about the night. John O'Keefe died in the snow. - My eyes are peeled. And I said he's right there. I jumped out the passenger side and I fell into the street. His eyes were shut and he had spots of blood in different areas on his face. And he was still, not stiff, but still. It was cold. I felt cold, but I didn't feel dangerously cold. And it was just an odd feeling to know that I'm okay. I'm not dying, but he's here with me and he's dying. And I can't warm him up. - Oh, okay. - Kind of interesting, but she wasn't the passenger seat. She wasn't driving. So I guess they were driving around looking for him. - Well we knew that. - Yeah. - That came up in the trial. - This is a two hour 2020 on ABC tonight. - At nine o'clock. - For her own thing, I hope she wasn't talking the whole time. - She doesn't really make herself sound that good. - Anyway, there it is. And there it will be tonight. - Yeah. - Nine o'clock on ABC. - We'll cover it on Monday after it is. - Can't wait. - Yeah. The Kansas City Chiefs are looking for the three Pete, three Super Bowls in a row and getting off to a good start last night. They beat the Ravens 27-26 and it came down to the final two minutes. Lamar Jackson drove the Ravens down field. They got the touchdown, but they went for the two and the win and it came so close. - The runners told it out of bounds. It's a new compete pass. The game is over. Here's the city this month. - Yeah, his foot less than an inch out of bounds in the end zone. She just went to 27-26 and the guy who stepped out of the end zone, Isaiah likely from Cambridge, Massachusetts, went to Cambridge, Wrench in Latin, seein' you your transfer to Earth effort, right Justin? - You know what they say about that football player? Isaiah likely? They say Isaiah, he ain't likely to get us that's down. - Aw, aw. - Or Isaiah. - He was so close. - And she's kingdom too, you know. - Yeah, I think he was out. - I mean, I saw the picture. I mean, he was. - He was. - It was by an inch, but he was out. - Well, it's a game of inches. - And I'll tell you, it was a good start to the season. - That was a good football game. - Yeah, that was fun to watch. - Yeah. Taylor Swift was in the Kelsey Suite, sitting next to Kelsey's mom and dad, so. - That's what I was watching. - Should we read something into this, Alisa, that she really wasn't warming up to Britney Mahomes? - That's all online this morning, how like have they fallen out? Because Britney last week liked Donald Trump post. - Right, basically. - So now they're trying to link the two together, saying that that's why she wasn't sitting next to Britney, because it's not, maybe she doesn't like to take sides and it's a blank thing. So again, I think that this is an overreach. - Right. - And I think that Taylor was just sitting with Travis's parents last night, 'cause Donna was also there in the suite. - Maybe they were planning the engagement. - You know what, you never know. - I just feel like people look so much into everything. Like, I don't think Taylor Swift cares who likes what. - Maybe she just doesn't like Britney that much and they're just cordial because, you know, their husband's plan to get, I mean, their point, whatever. - Or maybe they saw each other before the game started. - Possibly, yeah. - I mean, when you're in that situation, you don't, I mean, we're in public situation all the time, we don't have to have the same conversation with everybody. Like, you give more time to one another, I don't know. - I think this is an overreach. - It's all speculation. - Yeah. - That's all it is. Well, it's the speculative report. - Sometimes we call it that. - What did we think of Taylor's outfit? - I thought she looked fantastic. - Yeah, she always looks good. - She looks good. - Bill didn't like it. - She looked like cooler. Like, she looked like more like, I don't know, okay. - I just like when she walks in, you know, she smiles. She says hi to everybody. - Well, she's very nice. - Yeah, she's like a kind person. - Travis, by the way, gonna be on CBS Sunday morning this weekend and on it, he'll be asked how he feels about basically being Taylor's arm candy. - The life I chose, I guess. I have fun with it. It comes with the territory of, you know, wanting to do fun activities like this and signing up for cool sponsorships like this and endorsements. - Yeah, he talks about activities like this in the interview, he's sitting there in a gladiator costume for a new Pepsi commercial with Megan the Stallion. - Yeah, promoting gladiator too, when it kind of pays homage to the 2004 gladiator commercial, you know, and then his Travis Kelsey, as a gladiator. - His name is gladiator. - There he is. - On my signal, "Unleash Hell." By the way, Eagles and the Packers will play in Brazil tonight. That'll be on Peacock. Patriots kick off their season Sunday in Cincinnati with the Bengals. That's a one o'clock kickoff. Tom Brady yesterday, welcoming Bill Belichick to Instagram. - All right, guys. Party's over. Bill's here. It was a good run, but we gotta shut it down. Welcome, coach. - That was funny. - I love him. - Yeah, I love his new personality and a sense of humor. Anyway, Brady will make his debut on the Foxbox Sunday for the Cowboys Browns game. That's a 425 kickoff, I believe. Yeah, the Beetlejuice movie hit theaters, hits theaters this weekend, expected to do huge numbers and our movie expert, "The Movie Nerd." Will join us at 810 this morning. And reports this morning, say George Clooney and Brad Pitt will be doing an "Ocean's 14" movie. And at 910 this morning, we have a real-life mentalist coming in now. He says he can predict the exact score of the Patriots game Sunday, and we will put him to the test. - I'll tell you what. If he predicts the Patriots, you're gonna win. I'm gonna not believe him. - Well, we'll have him back in on Monday and see how he did. Should we place a bet based on what he predicts? - I'm not betting anymore. I'm sorry. - Yeah, I think I'm gonna be out of money at the end of September. - I never want to bet. - But I have to give you and Billy money for the tailor bet. - Hold right to talk. - Yeah, Travis doesn't propose by September 30th. - And it's new music Friday. We don't have much, but we do have the new Halsey, at least a clip, right Justin? ♪ I'm hoping that someone comes around ♪ ♪ And I'm safe figure it out ♪ ♪ I'm hoping that someone comes around ♪ ♪ I'm safe figure it out ♪ ♪ I'm safe figure it out ♪ ♪ I'm hoping that someone comes around ♪ - Ah, we're gonna world premiere it. ♪ I'm gonna need someone to kill me ♪ - Well, world premiere it right after eight o'clock this morning, the new Halsey. 50 Cent has been celibate for months. He went on Colbert to talk about it right here. - 50 Cent, are you celibate? - Listen, when you calm down, you can focus. All right, it's been good, I've been good to me. - Okay, but what's the money for if you're celibate? (audience laughs) - You know, there's a couple of motivating factors in our evolutionary biology and they don't include celibacy. - It's when things start getting complicated. Things start getting confusing 'cause people come up for different reasons. And then if you like go on a date, but you have no interest in anything, you can kind of, I can see you now. I say, damn girl, you fine, but you ain't got nothing going on. - Oh boy. - But he is sounding a little like he might be ready to go, right Justin? - How you doing Lisa? - Yeah. (laughs) - Now that would be an interest in Miley's. - Oh yeah. - He invited me to a party. - Yeah, at a mansion, if I recall, yeah. Keith Urban says he loves Miley Cyrus music because this is strange. She sounds like an ashtray. - I love Miley. - I love Miley. - I always love Miley. I love the voice, man. That's always like, no one's like, she says she sounds like an ashtray. - Yeah. (laughs) - And I mean that as a compliment. I mean that as a compliment. - Now we always say she sounds like she smokes 10 packs in there. And by the way, his wife, Nicole Kidman, in the perfect cup, Lisa, you started watching it? - I streamed the first two episodes. It's so good. It's beautifully shot. And Bono's daughter, Eve, is so good in it. And so is Megan Faehey, Nicole Kidman. They're all amazing. So go stream it, watch it. - All right. And finally, we always talk about the North End Feast. How about the Feast of St. Cosmo and DiMiano that happens every year in East Cambridge. And it's happening on Warren and Porter Streets where I grew up this weekend. And I've got the lineup. - Are you going to be there? - I go. - He needs to be there after the lineup. - You should be going up. - The Dookie and Sandra are a big part of my buddy Dookie and Sandra. Anyway, you know, who's going to be there? Brenda K. Starr. (bell ringing) - Oh, yeah. - Wow. - This is Billy right here. - Yeah, this is like old school kiss. - Wow. - Gotta tell this story. - Did you make out with her? - Not that I remember, but I do have a Brenda K. Starr story. They used to be a place in the financial district and I did a gig there every Friday night called Stocks and Bonds. - I remember it. - And I introduced Brenda K. Starr as the artist at Night Performing Live. Mariah Carey was her backup singer. - Oh, yes, yes. - That night and Mariah ended up well sleeping with Tommy Matala, the head of the record label and Brenda K. Starr was left in the dust and there he goes. - And then Mariah did, I still believe. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's right. - And you know who else is in the lineup? Snap. (upbeat music) - Oh, he's camboring. - The feast's going to be popping this weekend. - Some of the feasts have sent Cosmo into me now. - How much do they have? - And you know who else is going to be there? - They're going to be the original cover girl. (upbeat music) - Wow. - Also coming to the stage, the feast of St. Cosmo and DiMiano and Cambridge, Thelma Houston. - Hey! (laughing) - This is a lot of real things to say. - I have a family reunion this weekend. I'm canceling it. - Yeah. - I'm going to the feast. - Cancel everything because all that plus the crystals. (upbeat music) - They sound like they should be dead. - No one can move back. - Now my Houston probably are. - I think she's 80 years old. - Yeah. - How does she sound? - She sounds like an ashtray. (laughing) - This is quite the lineup. - And I gotta tell you, I really don't think it's the original cover girls. - Well, whatever. - It says the original. - And I used to host them at Rain in Malden, even then it wasn't the original cover girl. - They're listed as the original cover girls. - Yeah. - That's what it says. - But the important thing, the feast of St. Cosmo and Demiano, East Cambridge, all weekend, that's two night, tomorrow night and Sunday night. - I need to see Snap. - I have to go now. (laughing) - I didn't see anything interesting. - Yeah, and we're brought to you by Ocean Edge Resort and Golf Club. Experienced the quintessential Cape Cod summer at Ocean Edge Resort and Golf Club, named Best Hotel Cape Cod by Boston Magazine. They've got villas and hotel rooms, a private beach, swimming pools of wood, winning golf, go ball. How about four restaurants, live music and a beautiful spot. Go to OceanEdge.com and there you go. - She sounds like an ashtray. (upbeat music) - From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 studios. We're back with a villi and Lisa in the morning on Kiss 108. - Hey guys, and welcome back and happy Friday to you. It is time for the Sabrina Secret Sound. And before we say another word, I want everybody listening to know that all of us in studio here are rooting for you, okay? - Positive vibes, we're sending out. - So Lisa, make it as easy as you can. What happens here? - Sabrina Secret Sound, it's easy. You listen to the sound. The sound is inspired by one of Sabrina Carpenter's lyrics in one of her popular songs that we play on Kiss 108. So you guess the sound and then you guess the song that it came from and that's it. - That is the key. Keep in mind you need to connect the sound to a lyric in a Sabrina or at least a Sabrina Carpenter song, okay? - And some of them are easy. Some of them are a little bit harder, but we're really not trying to trick people. - No, we really want to give these tickets away. - It's in the lyrics. - It's in the lyrics. - So we need caller 25 at 617-931-1108. I can look directly at producer Riley. She's ready to take the calls and 617-931-1108. And while we wait just in, let's get some talkbacks in. - We'll have to hear the sound, Bill. - Oh, oh, I'm sorry. - Yes. - We can't, they're already outraged. We can't make them moral. - I think. - All right, that's the sound. And because I'm an idiot, let's play it again. Got it? That's the sound, but you need to connect it to a Sabrina song. - That's right. - Okay? - I have been non-sub listening to the Sabrina Carpenter songs and I cannot for the life, let me figure out this sound and what song it goes to. I'm getting so frustrated. - Well, a lot of people are. Yeah, you need to do your homework on this contest. You need to do your homework. And as soon as we get caller 25, we'll give them another shot. - You know what it is, the first two, this is the third sound. The first two sounds were a little bit on the easier side. So then we threw in a little bit of a harder one. That's what it is. - My favorite part of the show this week is all of the talk backers who call in so bent about the wrong guesses. I love it. Keep it coming. - Yesterday was an angry day. - Yeah. - A secret sound contestant and players, I should say. - Hello, we already did this special maker. That was like day one, first one we did. Pay attention, drop off mom. - Okay. And again, we need to be very clear. We love drop off moms and dads. - We do. - They're listening right now. - They're listening right now. - We want you to win. - Yeah. - Lisa and I came in this morning. We had a good vibe, right? We had a good feeling. - Yeah, sending out good vibes. - Yeah, we think somebody's gonna pick it up. We think caller 25 is gonna win. - Well, we have caller 25 right here. - Let's not. - Mikayla. - Mikayla? - Yeah. - Do us proud Mikayla. - Is it a chainsaw in taste? - Okay. - Okay Mikayla, we need to do your homework because we've already had that guess, right? - We had the exact guess. - We had the exact guess. - Wow, this is not going well. - A low-key, like, joining Winnyside for the first time ever. Like, it's getting ridiculous. - And I get the feeling Mikayla is in the same car with different people who guessed a chainsaw in a case and I still don't get the case. - I think, no, it's a music video game. - Oh, yeah. - I know when he was a chainsaw or a tega. - But this is based off of lyrics, not music videos. - Yeah. - It's actually a decent guess. - Yeah. - It's already been cast several times. - And also, it's not our game. Our game is based off lyrics, not music videos. - That's a good point. - All right, so we will play this song again at 8.10. - And I will say, I've had a lot of DMs from angry listeners and I'm not gonna lie, there have been people that say, "I know what it is," and they have told me the right answer. Obviously, I don't tell them, I don't respond, but I've had multiple people DM me the correct answer that they think it is. So people out there know what it is. - Yeah, so it's out there. - You just have to get it through. - Right. - Did someone just guess coffee grinder again? - Yeah, there are two, and I gave it to them. There are two guesses right there that have already been guessed. - And also, head over to the kiss when we eat website. - Yeah. - There's a page dedicated to this contest where we actually put all the wrong answers. - Yeah. - But if you wanna hear the sound, you can only hear it live on the radio. - 8.10 this morning, you can play again. - You'll play the sound again, be called at 25, you guess the sound, and the Sabrina Carpenter song that inspired the sound and you win the tickets. - You know, part of me thinks that people are guessing chainsaw on purpose. - No, they're not. - No. - Just to bust us. - If chainsaw is guessed at 8.10, I'm going home. (laughing) All right, coming up next. How early is too early for Halloween decorations? This is gonna be a choosy one. - Billy and Lisa. - Kiss 108. - All right, Lisa, let's kick off a possible topic of what have we got in front of you there? - Okay, we all have Halloween, right? Well, there's a woman in Ohio that says she's received a lot of complaints from members in her community because she's putting her super elaborate Halloween display up earlier than usual this year. - If I was disrupting somebody or, you know, bothering people, I'm not. You know, you could've came to me and said something like, "Hey, you know, why?" And I would've explained to them why I do it so early. - It broke my heart 'cause all my neighbors come and try to help me if they see me out here. - My husband was diagnosed a year ago with cancer. He can't do as much after his chemo treatments. He's usually down for two weeks. - Oh, that's sad. - Yeah. - Yeah, how early is too early? I feel like it gets earlier and earlier every single year. - Well, I'll tell you, I was walking around the past week or two and I couldn't help but notice people already had their Halloween stuff up and I was thinking, "Okay." - It's a little early. There's a couple of things at my house, nothing too crazy. - Can I ask you a question? - Sure. - Did you hear your wife was all into the giant skeleton? - Yep. - Has she ordered it? - She is looking for it currently. - Okay. - Really? - She should've looked like in the off-season, I feel like. - I think she did find it but she didn't, you know, jump on it but she still wants it. I don't want it because, I mean, it's cool but the thing is with those giant skeletons, they keep them up all year. That's the thing and you decorate them for Christmas and for whatever things you do. - I want to just tell you the one on a pony all year so you'll recognize. - We're gonna put the giant skeleton winning. - And your big ass garage? - No, it's full of stuff. - Bro, I need more and you have the yard soon. - No, no, Justin's mother-in-law has her own garage and then Justin has a garage. And every time I go there, there's plenty of room for it. You make space for, you know, you're being dramatic. - Right. - You take it apart, there's plenty of room for it. - So there's a couple of decorations at my house but some houses I've seen are fully decorated like at a moment's house and yeah, people get upset about it. I don't really know why. Maybe it's the lights or, I don't know. All I know is all I care about is the shrunken head costume that we had in studio from the Beetlejuice movie. It's the best. - It's the best costume of all time. - It's all I care. It's the best costume I've ever seen. - Yeah. - I don't know, I guess it didn't bother me. If that's what you want to do with your time, go ahead. Why do I care? - Yeah, but hey, Justin, what's going on, man? This is Carlos. I know you guys are talking about the Halloween decorations. You guys were talking about a house last year in Winchester. They got these huge skeletons. I saw that right now, man, and they got different ones. They got a bunch of huge skeletons outside the house, but it's crazy. - Yeah, remember the Winchester house? - Yeah. - Yeah, and there's one right across the street from me that has like 10 different giant skeletons out on the lawn. They haven't gone up yet. - Oh, so they're not up yet? - Not those, but I'm telling you, I've seen people with full decorations already up as a marker. - Because people think that October 1st should be the start of Halloween. That's the issue. - Okay, hi, this is Jane from New Hampshire calling about the Halloween decorations. I know there are people out there that love Halloween. They love it, it's their favorite holiday. I do not want to see one Halloween decoration, not one witch, not one ghost, not one spider web, nothing. 'Til at least October 1st. Put your pumpkins out, make a scarecrow. - Okay, Jane. I will say, I think it really bothers people when it's somebody next door that overdoes it with the Halloween decorations. - Is it the lights? I mean, if you're just driving around, it doesn't bother you. - A lot of the decorations make noise. - Yeah, you're right. - Okay, so that would be the one reason why I would be upset is if every two seconds, like if somebody walks in front of the giant scarecrow or the witch that you hear that. - Oh my God, so it hasn't gone up yet, but we have a dead nurse skeleton, a life-sized one that my wife hangs up on the garage. And when you walk by it, he goes, "Ahh!" - Yeah, like after a while, it'd be like, I would go next door and I would rip it down, right? - Jen climbs up on the garage. - She gets really into it. - She's a hardy gal. - Yeah. - Well, that's right, she does all the carpentry work. - Yeah, I love your wife. - Yeah, she says that's her. That's how she feels after a long day with me and the children. - Yeah, I can totally relate. But that would be like the only reason why I think people would get upset is the sounds. - Yeah, and maybe the attention of cars driving by and stopping, making, taking pictures, so. - My personal feeling is if that's something that you're into, then do it and enjoy it. There's so few things in life that you can actually enjoy, like that, so. - But what if one of the houses that has all the traffic building up all day and night is next to your house, would you love it then? - No, you're right, it would be, I would hate it. - So, Lisa, you enter you out on this. - I think I'm okay with putting it up whenever you want to. - Lisa's out, she's in. - Boo! (laughing) Anyway, topic time is next, and you know what? This could be the topic. Let's go 617-931-1108. When is it too early to put up the Halloween decorations? And by the way, do you have one of those neighbors that goes all out with the music and the scaring and the screaming? Anyway, 617-931-1108 because topic time is next. - Keep going away. - What is the topic? - Today, we're going to be talking about-- - Billy and Lisa present topic time. - Talk amongst yourselves. - Topic time. - And we have a lot of talkbacks, we have a lot of phone calls very quickly. We did not have a winner in the Sabrina Secret Sound earlier this morning at 7-10. We will do it again at 8-10 in please. We want a winner on a Friday. - Did someone say chainsaw again? At this point, names should be written down and they should be banned from any future, kiss one away, give away, contest, anything. Pay attention people, oh my goodness. - It's the level of anger that shocks me. - 8-10's next shot. - Yeah, 8-10. Come on, let's get a winner on a Friday. Meantime, the topic is when is it too early to put up Halloween decorations? - I'm already seeing a lot of them, but let's start with the phones and Sara, you're first. What have you got? - Hi, good morning, everyone. I'm so excited. My neighbor, I live in Tuxbury. My neighbor has started his decorations, I think the end of June or like the 4th of July. He has a huge display, he does every year. He allows walkthroughs to come through. Me and my friends are Halloween party and we all go over and I believe every year he raises money. I think one year it was like the Wounded Warriors project. So, I love it, he puts in so many hours and I think it's awesome. - I love that he's raising money. That's a really good use of it. - Yeah, and is he right next door to you? - No, he isn't, so that is the convenient thing. It's on my street, but it's not right across from me. So, it doesn't directly affect every time I look out my window. Maybe that's why I love it. - Yeah, that's what I was gonna say, yeah. - It brings a lot of people to the street. It's like Friday and Saturday nights. He usually has everything lit up, but I see him like before it's even dark, he goes out and he turns everything on. And it's a huge amount of time and energy he puts in and everyone in the community loves it. So, if Reverend Hooks Bay stopped by Oakland as. - Well, thank you for the call, that's a good start. We give to Wounded Warriors, it's a great charity. Let's go to Michelle next, Michelle, what do you think? - I think just do what makes you happy. You want to put your decorations up, put them up. And if you don't like it, mine your own business. - There we go. - Yeah, don't look at 'em, you don't want to listen to 'em. Put your iPods in, you want people to rain on your parade. - Put your iPods in, that's a good one. - Yeah, okay, well, I mean, but I'm telling you, she would think differently if she had one of those over-the-top houses, the traffic jams and everything right next door. - True, yeah. - Yeah, families are pulling up next door. - Right. - They're all getting out of the car, they're being loud enough to see that part. But I do think overall, minding your own business. Listen, I say it all the time. It costs nothing to wake up in the morning in mind your own business. That's all I'm saying. - Let's go to Tabitha next. I like that name Tabitha. Good morning, Tabitha. Where are you calling in from? - From Salisbury, Massachusetts. - That's beautiful, Salisbury. - Good morning, everybody. - Good morning, Tabitha. What do you say about the Halloween thing? - I say it's never too early to decorate for Halloween. Can we discuss the people that decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving and leave their lights up till February? Why are we talking about decorating for Halloween too early? (laughs) - Yeah, there are some people that leave their Christmas decorations up you around. - The lights, right? - Yeah. - And they put the lights on every night and okay, Merry Christmas. But good one, let's go to Ken next. It's a good topic, Ken, what do you think? - Yeah, so I agree with just 100%. People should mind their own business. The average Massachusetts homeowner pays between 10 and $20,000 a year in property taxes. I own my house, I pay that much money to fund the schools and everything else. If I wanna put up Easter decorations right now, I'm gonna put them on. (laughs) - Now, did you plan on putting up? - Honestly, as long as no one is violating like a noise ordinance and, you know, there's not, you know, massive amounts of traffic. Let people do what they wanna do. If they're not breaking the law, this is America. Let them do what they want to do. - That's right. - I agree. Enjoy your life, enjoy what you like doing. - Yeah, and you know the best thing about enjoying other people's decorations, you didn't have to do your own. - Don't have to take them down. - Don't have to take them down. - Take them down. - That's a pain in the end. - By the way, Ken, happy Easter, buddy. (laughs) It looks like Steve has the opposite opinion. - Oh, okay, Steve, let's go. You're on the other side. - Oh, this is his home for me. So I told my wife, October 1st, should be the only day you start putting up decorations. It's already started, which she has a Halloween Christmas tree up. Okay, we have Halloween toilet paper. Last night we went to the Paranormal Cirque Show at Rockingham Mall, which was incredible, but I am already hating Halloween. - Yeah. - She's really into it. - Yeah, well, it's hard when you're significant other or spouse is really into it and you're not into it. You know, there's, I was at Hingham Shipyard last weekend. There's a store, a giant store that's just Halloween. - It's called the Spirit of Halloween. - Yeah. - It's like a popper. - They're all over the place. - Yeah. - They hadn't opened yet. - Yeah. - I didn't know what their official opening date, but I couldn't believe it. I said, this is just for Halloween. - That's it. - Yeah. - Every year. - The haunted houses start next Friday. - I love the haunted house. - I love the haunted house. - I do too. - Yeah, I think I'm going to opening night. - And don't forget the candy. - Oh, the candy. - You gotta load up on the candy. - Yeah, Bill loves the candy. - Good morning, guys. In my opinion, if people can put their Christmas decorations up two months in advance, then I can put my Halloween decorations up two months in advance. Halloween is the new Christmas in my opinion. - Yeah, absolutely. - Who do you think wins Halloween or Christmas? I think more people do Christmas than Halloween, but I think Halloween is growing. - Well, the thing about Halloween is you can kind of get away, depending on the decorations, it's more fall inspired. So Halloween can be generic. Like, people will fall like scarecrows. That's like, that's fall. - Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, it's fall. - People love Halloween, right? Salem Mass, obviously, is the big Halloween spot. Even like our friends, Salem Waterfront Hotel, right? So, you know, I have a relationship with them. I'm the voice of the Salem Waterfront Hotel. So I said to Mike Rockman who owns it. He goes, "You know, anytime we need a reservation, just call me." I said, "Okay." So then I called him last year and I go, "Hey, I need a reservation for, um, for October." He was like, "What are you crazy on?" - Yeah, they booked a year in advance. - Yeah, it's been booked for months and months. And by the way, I'll use this opportunity to promote Wicked Night at the Salem Waterfront Hotel that I host every year. And it's happening again this year, bigger and better than ever. And the entire hotel is newly renovated. - Are you gonna get the shrink-shrunkin' head costume? - I'm thinking about it. - You should. - Yeah, you should. - Well, get it before it sells out, Bill. - I know you've been online. You've probably already gone for it. - Halloween. - No, there's a limit. You can only buy two. - Oh, they have it, Spirit of Halloween? - Yeah. - Yeah. - They have it. - Oh, okay. - On the topic of decorating too early for Halloween, my mother-in-law has a life-size Michael Myers figurine who lives in the basement in a closet. And on September 1st, every year he comes upstairs and joins us in the living room next to the window so all the neighbors can be terrified. (upbeat music) - Oh man, man, that's creepy. - Oh, the scariest haunted house I ever went in. See, a lot of times you go to these haunted houses there's so many people, right? You're in these big lines. So the scares happen in front of you. But I went to one when it was just about closing and there was nobody in there. And at one point we walked into a room and the lights went dark. You couldn't see it to feel your way out. And then a strobe light kicked on and there was a life-size Michael Myers standing there. It was crazy. Yeah, I can't wait for the haunted houses. - There's a house in Abington that has about four skeletons outside. Started for Halloween, but they've just kept it year round. And now they do fun themes. They have a summer theme. They dress them up for Christmas. And right now they have on pre-caring red shirts, so. (all laughing) - That's awesome. (laughing) Wow. Yeah, that's the only thing with the gigantic skeletons. My wife Jen, she wants one, but I know it'll be up all year round. It's gonna have a turkey next to it in November. It's gonna have a Santa hat at Christmas. You know? - Oh, that's not bad. - I have some fun with it. - I know. I know. It's just that on the lawn, I gotta go around it with the lawn mower. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. - What happened to me? - I don't know. It's really annoying. - It really is. - I have to say something that bothers me significantly more than putting decorations up too early is leaving them up way too late. I'm on my way to work right now. And every day I drive past this house that still has inflatable peeps, like Easter peeps on their lawn. and that track's increasing. (laughs)
