This just announced a couple of minutes ago, Post Malone going to be doing Fenway Park, September 18th. Tickets on sale this coming Friday. You're screwed, Justin, because your wife, Jen, is so into Post Malone. You're going to have to get a position on stage. I mean, I could if I would. Yeah, so Post Malone, he does this thing at the end of his shows where he stays after, and he talks to all the fans, but all the people that are in the pit, or in the front row, and he signs things and all that. And it's my wife, Jen's dream to be there. And so this is my opportunity. Oh, there you go. There you go. He's doing Fenway. It's huge. I love this. You know, and this is in support of his country album, which comes out in August. You know, he's in his country era. You're gonna have to pony up. Yeah. I'm actually Bill. Can I, can I have some help on this? Like, what kind of help would you? A little bit of a floater would be nice. You're gonna be a little pricey. Come on, Bill. Come on. I might be packing a few condos. There we go. You know what I'm saying? Since we're talking about Fenway Park, don't forget Noah Khan's coming in for two nights. July 18th and 19th, the Fenway Park. Cane Brown's coming back. I saw him last summer. He made me a fan because I went to see Darius Rucker, who was the opening act for Cane Brown. Yeah. And Cane was amazing. I liked him a lot. Well, the cool story on that is that, you know, when the show got announced, Darius was not the headliner. It was a Cane Brown show at Fenway. And Billy was so mad. Yeah. He wanted to kill Cane Brown. Then he went to the show and met Cane Brown, and he sang a completely different too. Cane Brown's July 20th. And then you've got Blink-182. Wow. Coming to Fenway Park, July 23rd. And then Def Leppard is on the road with Hart. And Jeff Leppard and Hart are doing Fenway August 5th and 6th. Did you say Hart? Yes, I did. Whoa! Oh, yeah. I feel like that song was big during, like, dance, dance, revolution, and, like, guitar hero. Well, yeah. I mean, it looks '80s, right? '70s, '70s, '80s. The video game. Oh, yeah. They had a lot of hit. ♪ Trying to understand ♪ ♪ Try, try, try, understand ♪ And they're miss 70s. They are. I have to say, I have such respect for women that are rockers. Yeah. Yeah. That is so cool. It is. And they did an interview recently I watched in a live performance, and they sounded great. Yeah. They sounded great. And Journey's also going to be a little sad. I love Journey. Come on, Lee. ♪ Don't stop ♪ Oh, my God. Donovan. Whoo! Journey, part. Oh, my God. There's no better song than that song. Wow. Yeah, you got to be there. And then Def Leppard. Mm. He's got the one-armed drummer, right? Yeah. Yeah, who we were going to have him on the show. Yes. But then the management was like, um, yeah, that's really not your format. Yeah, like, yeah. He's going to do Zalex down the hall. Yeah, you're dying to come in. Yeah. The one-armed drummer. Yeah. It's disrespectful. I should have his name in front of me, but I don't. Mm. How about Green Day? Did I mention them? Green Day? Wow. This is like an emo's kid dream this summer. Yeah. August 7th, Green Day. And then Pearl Jam. September 15th and 17th. Two nights out at Fenway Park. Pearl Jam's huge. Wow. And then the next night, um, post? And then post the on a Wednesday. Yeah. Wow. Again, post Malone. The big news this morning. Fenway Park, September 18th. Tickets on sale this coming Friday. Are we doing weird stories? We're doing weird stories, yes. And, uh, you know, people are always complaining about these leaf blowers. Oh, yeah. Well, look at that. 2024 coming in hot. We may have a solution to those loud leaf blowers. We'll do weird stories next. And, oh, is this Justin Timberlake? Ooh, ooh. Filly and Lisa, every morning. Just one, oh, wait. ♪ Things that make you think ♪ Ooh. ♪ That makes you think ♪ Ooh. ♪ Things that make you think ♪ Ooh. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I love this story, because, you know, leaf blowers that all landscapers have and use on a regular basis. Whether it's fall or not, they're just blowing debris away from your patio or driveway or wherever. Well, they're so loud, right? That's like the one thing that you can't stand about it. Well, a group of engineering students at Johns Hopkins came up with a silencer for leaf blowers that makes them 37% less loud. This challenge was an open-ended question. It was essentially, can you please reduce the noise of our leaf blower? You hear them, and they're just traditionally very loud, very annoying. The intensity of the high-pitched noise of the leaf blowers, the noise often travels long distances, and you can still hear it. The walls, our product, makes the blower less noisy. It ultimately dampens the sound as it leaves, but it keeps all that force still there, which is the beauty of it. Yeah, people get crazy about the leaf blowers. Oh, yeah. So loud. Crazy. Yeah, they are pretty loud. I have a really high-powered one. I just try to be respectful. I use it, you know, after 10 a.m. and not after, you know, after 10 a.m. and before 6 p.m. Yeah. It's also annoying if you're not jogging or something, and somebody's got a high-powered leaf blower, and they're blowing debris up into your eyes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's why we have landscape. Obviously, I live in an apartment car. We have landscapers. When I had the first floor one, I mean, on my porch, I couldn't go outside because everything was being blown up on my porch. I use mine for everything. I use it. I'm blowing everything. Snow. Oh, God. Yeah. Just debris. Just no matter what it is, I get the leaf blower. If you were in Kent and you'd be doing police investigation with it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? If I was in Nashville, I'd be doing other things too. Okay. So I know this segment is called "Weird Stories." This is really about as weird as it gets. Thank you for this, Justin. You're welcome. A 38-year-old guy in Missouri was arrested after, wait for it, trying to have sex with a seat on the train. What? Oh, God. That's disgusting. Oh, my God. And it turns out, if he makes bond, clearly he's going to be banned from having any contact with the train. Yeah. This guy has a problem. He's a-- You know, he's a-- The ejecta filia, people? Well, he's a sex offender. He's a skin dog already. He's a sick person. He was already in jail on, you know, sexualated charges. So he's mounting the seat on the train. He got out, and yeah, he was trying to ride the train. [MUSIC PLAYING] We talked about before people that were in love with cars and Apple Tower, and they have done things to them, you know, actually. But-- The good news is he's back in jail. He's locking it in right now. Hopefully he won't be on any time soon. Oh, God. I was going to say, what's next for this guy, a keyhole? I don't know. A train seat, though? Come on, baby. You've got to get on board this funk train. [LAUGHTER] OK. [INTERPOSING VOICES] All right, this is-- this is dedication, OK? There was a man from New Jersey that had a virtual argument with another gamer, you know, on one of those gaming sites or whatever. So he flew to Florida to find the other gamer and attacked him with a hammer. Particularly noteworthy is that it originated from an online altercation. The suspect flew from Newark, New Jersey to Florida, apparently to confront the victim in person. The victim's stepfather reported being awakened by screams for help. When he went to see what was going on, he found his steps on on the ground, struggling with the attacker who was in possession of a hammer. The victim and the stepfather managed to disarm, came, and restrained him until our deputies arrived on scene. Yeah. OK. This is a current concern of mine. You know, my son plays Fortnite on Xbox. He has a headset that we are monitoring heavily because he's playing with people that he doesn't know. Right. And he gets into these arguments with these grown men. My son is seven. So I'm really trying to watch. And I kid you not last night. He was in his room. I was listening. And he starts screaming about the game to somebody. And I run in and I said, who are you yelling at? And he said, this guy is doing something. And I go, who's the guy? You ready for this? He goes, it's some guy named Killer Steve. OK. OK. You never want to be in an argument with Killer Steve. No, OK. No, especially when you're seven. Yeah. I don't turn it off right now. God's Lisa, what have you got there? This is beware out there because this happened in Boston last week. A woman lost $12,000 in a slight of hand scam at an ATM. Yeah. Here's how it all went down. So listen up. Be careful of it. It's confusing. It's a little confusing. But this might help it makes sense. Megan Bates is still in disbelief. She says it on Friday afternoon. She was in East Boston. Went to this ATM to take out cash to go to lunch. She says about 10 seconds after walking away, a man called her over saying there was still money in the slot. And there was an issue with the machine. Give me your card. And he took my card out of my hand and put it in the machine. He's like, put your pin number in. He's like, you have to close the train's action because it's still open. And it happened so fast. I didn't even really think about it. She says the man was super nice. And she thought he was trying to help her. She went to lunch and thought nothing of it. Until the next day, when looking at her bank statement, she saw three withdrawals of $4,000 each missing from her account. That's crazy. I still don't understand. And then she said that her debit card that was given back to her wasn't her debit card. It was for some other guy. Yeah, right of hand. He swapped it out. Yeah. So he got her debit card and he got her pin number. Right. Wow. So that's that's a. This is scary. Man. Basically, anybody comes near you when you're at the ATM. Get rid of them. Well, wait a minute. I thought like this woman has $12,000 in her ticket. Cool. I mean, good for you. But like, I was like, that's a lot of money to hold where someone can access it. Like I said, I was at the arcade with my nieces and I took money out, you know, for them to play. And the person before me left, they're slipping. And they had $38,000 in their checking. And I'm like, good for you. But like, that was easily been taken out. The ATM was, you know, hacked. Well, you can limit how much cash you can take out of an ATM too. You can. And also, you can only take out certain amount of money out of your savings. Right. So sometimes they penalize you if you take too much out. So I think people keep it in their checking. Yeah. That's crazy. OK. The world's ugliest dog has been named again. It's an eight-year-old Pekingese that named Wow Fang. We have both the announcement and the proud owner right here. The world's ugliest dog is wild thing. He got second three years in a row. First year, nothing. So then three years in a row, he got second. And we're like, let's just go again, because it's so much fun. If not, we'll go back the next year. He was ugly enough this year. Even ugly is cute. There you go. Wow. Wow. They're very proud. I was looking at the entire lineup of the ugly dogs. What's crazy is that wild thing is actually pretty cute to me. Wow. He's not really an ugly dog, but it's a top prize. Ugliest in the world. Wendy, wrap it up. OK. This one is so 2024. So there were two porch pirates, which lose people that steal your Amazon packages off your porch. And they didn't know each other. So they were both attacking the same house or plotting on the same house. And they physically fought over the package. And one got away with it. It was an end to be a phone. But they were in a physical altercation trying to fight over stealing somebody's stuff. To have these two scumbags come in our community and get into a potentially deadly altercation. Overselling a package is unbelievable. You got to see this video, Billy. So the FedEx or UPS driver delivers the package in front of the house. He drops it and he hasn't even made it back to his truck yet. And these two guys come running up to see who can get it first. And then they start fist fighting over the package. I have a question. Do these porch pirates know what's in the package? I mean, they shouldn't have an idea. I don't think they do. I don't think they do. I feel like they do. But they must be following the truck around. Yeah, but how would they know what's in the package? I don't know. Technically, unless you hacked their Amazon account or something, I don't really know how you would know it. Or could the driver be in on it? Oh, yeah. Well, there's a whole conspiracy theory in the sneaker world. You know, these high-end sneakers that you get, that there's a conspiracy that the drivers know when the sneakers are coming or what's in the box. Yeah, and they call somebody. I totally believe that. Yeah, no, I mean, no one knows proven anything. Yeah. But, you know, things disappear. Yes. That's all I'm saying. Well, you got an entertainment buddy. We got a lot. Sabrina Carpenter has her first number one song of her career. And we're kind of surprised at what song it is. Yeah. And that's up next. Hey, this is Rhianna. So, we're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning. One kiss, one of eight. Yeah, we're back. And they just did earlier this morning, Justin. We were talking about Post Malone going to Fenway Park, September 18th. We had all of that right. Post Malone will do Fenway Park, September 18th. But the tickets are on sale Monday. Yeah, Monday 10 a.m. Yeah, that's a big show right there. There's a little confusion there, but, you know, a lot of Posty fans. Yep, a lot. Monday at 10 a.m. But anyway, let's get to the commute here. Hi, morning crew. It's listener Kathleen. I always appreciate Lisa's traffic report. I just wanted to help her out today. By exit three on 93 South, there was a deer strike. Listener Kathleen, hit a deer. Oh, Kathleen. Oh, you hit the deer. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, I have to say, I have been talking about this for the past couple of weeks. In every report, I've had a deer strike. Oh, they just run out. They just run out. It's freakish right now. Yeah. And that's so weird that she hit one. Kathleen, yeah. And, you know, sometimes you have to do -It's dirty work with the dance. -Oh, tonight we were out late. We took a ride on the... after the country, and we hit one of the dears. A testicle of blood came from it. I told you. Anyway, no reminds of mine either. It's nice. I'm gonna take this. It's okay. -Okay, yeah. Just need to bring it back. You know? -Well, the poor thing, you know, we got... I hit him and we hit the deer and it's poor. What do you call it? -The poor. -The poor. The poor. -The poor. The poor. The hoof got caught in that grill. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it all. -Ooh. -Now, the entertainment update. -I got it. If I hit a deer, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. -No. -I've come close. -They're so beautiful. -Okay, let's start with some sports. Why not? We've got a Stanley Cup champion. The Panthers beat the Oilers in a game seven last night. He was the final quarter. -The floor. Trying to end it up against the wall, which would be fitting. Three seconds to go. The floor to Panthers have won the Stanley Cup. -And let's face it, you're playing a game seven. You're a team from Canada. You want to have a Canadian singing the anthem. And they did. They had Alanis Morissette. -♪ And the rockets red glare ♪ ♪ The bombs bursting in air ♪ ♪ Gave proof through the night ♪ ♪ That our flag was still there ♪ -I wonder who's saying, "Oh, Canada." -I think they do both, right? -Museur only. Alanis Morissette, by the way, is heading out on tour. She's going to do the Xfinity Center July 9th. -Her HBO documentary, "Jagged," is fantastic. -Mm-hmm. -The one that's an Alanis fan. -Me. I actually saw Alanis perform at the Xfinity Center before it was the Xfinity Center. -Tweeter Center. -When her -- that album came out, "Jagged Little Pill." -Wow. -Yeah, I've seen her a couple of times. She's amazing. -She is amazing. -I'm amazing. Red Sox got a walk-off win over the Blue Jays last night. We got a call here. -Sure one. That's it. That's a base hit. There comes Rafaela. Rounding. Trying to score the throw home. He wins it. -Game over. -The Red Sox pull it out seven to six. They walk it off against Toronto. -Jaren Duran, his first career walk-off in the Sox. I'm in the win column. [ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, Duran and the Sox are a hot. The Sox have won 11 of their last 14 games, and there's seven games above the 500. Margot Socks. Duran's hot. He is hot. I don't mean -- -We know. We know. We know. We know. -That's a ball player. [ Laughs ] -We got you though. -And the entire Celtics team at the Red Sox game last night, and they got to throw out the first pitches. Part of that announcement. -The two Jays, number seven, Jaylen Brown. And number zero, Jason Tatum. -I don't think he needed to announce the numbers on their jerseys. -Why are you so offended by this? You don't like that they're being called the Jays. You don't like that at the time of their numbers. -That's kind of -- -Well, I feel like -- -Pink hat-ish. Hey, the Jays are coming. -Oh, okay. Mr. Blue Hat. -I am an official pink hatter, so -- [ Laughter ] -I love it. I love it, Jaylen. -Now, Billy has -- Billy has, like, once it hits a start on a day -- -Yeah. - -- of talking about the same story, he gets tired of it. -Done. -He doesn't want to hear it. On to the next. -Oh, the Karen retrial, when the jury -- the jury -- like, when the results come, he'll be like, "All right, I've done this. I'm done." -Can we move on now? -We did it. All right. -We can't end. -We still have to go to that bar. -Oh, yeah, we are. -Yeah. -Which one? -We're doing the whole tour. -We'll do all of them. We'll bar hop. -We're going to do a canton tour. -Yeah, we want a bar hop with the townies. -All right. -There will be there. That's all they do. -The country singer Riley Green got to do batting practice at a Phillies game, and the announcers couldn't help but notice. -Take a look at some of the swings. Look, look, he's a big dude. -Look at those bars. -Yeah. That would have been a double play. -But that one went out over the last one. -Yeah, he had one off the state farm side and looks at our field. -Nice swing. -It was a nice swing. -He did a post-game concert, too. -He's amazing. -He's so hot. -I don't know how that's even humanly possible. -I mean, he's such a big man. -To me, that beautiful. -Yeah. -I got to tell you, it's not easy. -The veins in his arm? -Oh, it only makes sense. You're so good. -He's got a lot of veins. Justin is so into -- like, he would give every dollar he's ever owned, Justin, to get the bicep vein. -Yeah, I do have one. It only comes out when I get a pump in the gym, you know, when I'm really lifting, but not -- I want it regular, like, all day. -Like, just existing when you're existing. -Yeah. -Well, I think we asked Riley Green on this show how he gets that vein. -I don't know. I've always kind of been like that ever since I was a little, like, real vascular, you know? But I do a lot of forearm workouts. You know, at least you like that movie, so that's just long over the top at arm wrestling movies. -Oh, I love that movie. -That's sort of -- yeah, that was "Turn Your Hand Backers" and all that. That was kind of my thing when I was a little -- -He's very vascular how he is. It's a big man. -I love that. -Yeah, boy, the big vascular is just -- Hey, Shabuzzi launching a headlining tour. Now, before he launches that tour, he's going to be doing Bernie's beach bar at Hampton Beach August 7th. -This is so cool. -They've probably booked him, like, a long time ago. -Oh, yeah, and it sold out instantly. But then he launches the tour, which, by the way, comes to Royale, also a good place to see a show in Boston September 16th. -You want to hear something crazy? -Yeah. -Do a little bit of research on this? -Yeah. -The same night. Ready for this? Teddy Swims is going to be at the Hampton Beach Casino. -Oh, wow. -The same night he's at Bernie's beach bar? -Yeah. -This is an amazing night. -Yeah. -They should join each other on stage just walking next door. -They should. -You know, in one hour, Shabuzzi joins him and the other hour he -- -New Hampshire really comes alive in the summertime. -Wow. -I guess so, yeah. -Hampton Beach is fireman. -Just don't go swimming in the water, there's sharks. -Well, then there's that. You want to hold on to your limbs as long as you can. Sabrina Carpenter has her first ever number one song. We're all kind of surprised. It's not espresso. It's not feather, but it's please, please, please. We have a clip here. ♪ Please, please, please ♪ ♪ Don't prove I'm right ♪ -Wow. ♪ Please, please, please ♪ -Okay. -Winnie, if you're going to join in on the clap, at least clap with them. -I did! -No, you were off by like an 8th of a beat. I'm just saying. -Please, Winnie. Please. -Sorry. I like this song a lot, but I love espresso. -Oh, I'm surprised. -It's the song of the summer. It was on the top 30 countdown as the number one song. -It could hit a fifth week in a row at number one this weekend. -Right. So that's all we care about. -You know why this upsets Billy, though? 'Cause this just proves that his countdown means nothing. -Excuse you? What? What? -It means I'm going number one. -Well, you know, behind the scenes, Winnie has a resentment against the countdown because we fired him. -We gave her a segment and then we took it away because it was really nothing. -You could always give it back to me, but you just want -- you just don't -- you just dingle on my face. -We don't see the need. -Yeah. Producer Riley's working hard at that -- getting that segment. -Fine. -Can you imagine? -Okay. -No, I love Riley. Give Riley a little segment on your little show. -Come on. Producer Riley, you're ready to step up. Let's go countdown. That means nothing. It's not like it's Ryan's tea crisis countdown. -Are you kidding me? The Kiss Top 30 countdown. By the way, I heart and kiss Saturday mornings at nine and Sunday night, so what time Sunday night? -7 o'clock. -It competes with your food show, right? -King of all media. -Oh, my God. Please, I just feel like that. King of all media. -King of all media. I'll send it again, okay? Ben Affleck, I actually like this story. Ben Affleck finally. -Hey, everyone.

We have a clip. -Don't flash your light on the side. We're driving down to the bottom of the cabin, right? Don't do that. That's dangerous. You don't even know what that's mean. You don't even know what that's mean. That's right. Ben Affleck, you know that. You know that. You're right, man. -Stop. It's dangerous what you guys are doing. You understand? I can't see. You gotta get somebody hurt doing this. My daughter's coming down here. If you flash the lights on her, you're putting her in danger. You understand that? -I mean he's protecting his kid. But he has a great point. And I think he said exactly what needed to be said he wasn't rude or mean. He was telling them to chill out. And honestly they should. -Of course they should. -It can get dangerous. -Yeah. Finally Kevin Costner was on Kelly Clarkson yesterday. And talked about the end of the movie, the body color. -I love that movie. -We always, I've seen it like ten times I think. But you know in the end where I'll always love you, starts acapella. Apparently that wasn't the movie maker's idea or Whitney's idea. It was Kevin Costner's idea. -It wasn't that wild about it on the record side of things. And I said well you guys need to get over that. I said don't be too sure they won't play it on the radio. I said but for me Whitney was doing almost an apology moment at that point. And what better way to let somebody know they really mean what they're singing to you when they say I don't even need the music behind me. Let me sing to you what I feel about you. And of course the band kicks in and we know when it does, the hair on your arms stands up. But that was just kind of an instinct that I had. Let's not have any music. Let's let her stand out there. -Yeah. -Just bear and say you were important to me at a certain moment in your life. -The airport scene. -Oh my God. -He's right. -Yeah. 100% okay. ♪ If I should stay ♪ ♪ I would only be ♪ ♪ And you're with me ♪ -So good. -And then she runs and then runs. Oh my God. -I'm crying right now. -You're right. -No it is. I'm telling you that was such an impactful moment and he's so right. It needed to be that way. -And produce varieties looking through the glass. Who is that? Who's Whitney Houston? -I know. -Houston, Texas? -Hey, we're brought to you by the 99 restaurant visit the 99 restaurants the day after the Red Sox win. Oh, that's today. -Yes, it is. -And 99 rewards members get a free kids meal with every adult entree. Purchase the 99 restaurant the official family restaurant of the Boston Red Sox. And there you go. -Winnie better put some respect on the countdown. -Bye, this is Billy Costa. Listen, within these two CDs that you've got Kiss 108's 40 biggest songs. It's not available to buy. You can't find it in any store. So if you have a copy, you're one of the lucky ones to enjoy. -From the Planet Fitness Kiss 108 Studios. -We're back with Billy at Lisa in the morning on Kiss 108. -And welcome back, everybody. Here we are in the 9 o'clock hour. Very quickly, I want to say a happy wedding anniversary to Joe and Julie Piantidosi. The Piantidosi's, that's Piantidosi baking, where quality is the tradition. -Yeah, I love Joe. He had me, I think he had Lisa too, maybe Winnie on his own eighth. -Yeah, and he also, he texted me all the time. He texted me a happy Father's Day. -Yeah, he texted me a Happy Father's Day. -He did? -Yeah, he's a sweet guy. -Yeah, so Piantidosi bread is right down the street here. -Yeah, the factory is right down in Malden. -Yeah, so I grew up in Malden on Charles Street, right around the corner. And as a kid, they used to, I don't know if they still do, sell bread. You could go get fresh bread. -Oh, yeah. -Those are a little side counter. -Right down in the oven. -And every Sunday, my grandmother would give me $5 to go down and get a loaf of bread. -Wow. -Every weekend, and we would have, you know -- -You know what I love about it? It's so old school to walk into a place and wait for the hot bread to come out of the ovens, and you pick it up and you take it home. But he's got a bunch of other stuff besides bread coming out of those ovens down there in Malden. -He's just a good guy. -He's such a great friend to have. He's so thoughtful. And so Joe and Julie, we love you and Happy Anniversary. 30-year wedding anniversary. -Yeah, Joe's cool. -Joe's cool. I got no problem with Joe. -Not at all. -Yeah. -Okay, so I think everybody listening right now, I don't care whether you're at work, on your way to work, if you're in your car, you're stuck in traffic, constantly you're asking yourself on a daily basis, what the hell has happened to traffic? It makes no sense all of a sudden. There's no more -- it used to be the morning rush hour and the afternoon rush hour. Now there's no predicting when the rush hour is going to be -- -And it's not in your head, folks. It's actually for real. There was a study just done this year. The worsening delays put Boston in the top five. We're actually number four cities in the U.S. for the worst traffic. And Billy's right, the travel periods have changed. It's no longer the morning commute. It's now throughout the afternoon that the traffic is the worst. -It's impossible. And you don't know why. Every day you're like, "Where's everybody going?" I don't understand. -And in the greater Boston area, Interstate 93 South, Winnie. Our ride home ranked among the 10 busiest U.S. corridors coming in seventh. -It's the treacherous ride. It's worth it to get home. But no matter what you leave, you can leave at it. At 10.30, 1.30, noon, 4.30, you're going to hit something. -The road to Canton and Milton. -It was a lot of the Randall. -Yeah. And forget the ride to the Cape. You can never explain that. People are going to the Cape. It's not like they used to leave on Friday. They're weekend on the Cape. Now they're going down on Tuesday. They're going down on, well, you can't predict it. -Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Recently, I left the radio station to go south on 93 at 10 a.m. And I was bumper to bumper traffic. -Yeah. -You do that every day, Lee. -Yes, it's maddening. You actually now need to think about, do I really have to go to where I need to go? -Yeah. -Do I really have to go to that restaurant? -Is it worth it? -Is it worth it? -I plan hours in advance. I'm like, "Okay, if I go to the gym, I work out down the street. Way better than you and Everett." So I'm like, "Okay, if I don't leave Everett until 12, then that means I'm not going to get home until 1. If I have something that'd be right before 2.30, I have to shower and get ready." Then you have to literally plan your whole day around it. -And the other weird thing is when you're expecting it to be at its worst, it's not. And then when you're not expecting any traffic, it's bumper to bumper. -You'll fly. -Yeah. -It's crazy that. -Yeah, 93 North is not bad when I go home. But they're doing a ton of work on 93 North now. So my fear is that it's moving North. -But you're already past the city. At least you have to go through the city. -Yeah, it's terrible. -So at least you're on the right side of things. You know what I mean? -By the way, the Sumner Tunnel is closing July 5th for a month. -It is. Just like it did last year. -And here's the thing about closing the tunnel. It's one of those things you forget. So now you're driving, you're going to usually go to. Suddenly you hit the tail, you're saying, "Oh my God, it's closed. Now what do I do?" -And I also want to remind everyone that 93 Northbound, the tunnel will be closed tonight from 11 until 5 a.m. tomorrow morning, because they're doing work. -That's more traffic. -Wait a minute. -Yes. -You're talking about-- -The tunnel that Winnie and I use. -The tunnel heading into town from the south shore. -From 11 p.m. tonight until 5 a.m., they're doing work. -I will say my dad's in charge of this job of the tunnel, and he said they'll be done probably four tomorrow. -Or not. -Is that because we were worried because I came in between four and five. -But he said that they have to be done. The masked dog, because they were with masked dog, they have to be done. So they will be done. -You know the other thing about these projects on the road, do you ever know you drive by? -There's either no one there, except for the trucks and the blinking lights and those lights that they would are in from space. It looks like you're on another planet or the International Space Station. And either there's no one there at all or anyone there is just standing around. -They work hard. Trust me. -Her dad is part of that trip. -My dad's literally the project manager of this thing. -No, I have a friend that used to work overnight on the highways, and he used to do the bridge repair with the jackhammer. There will be eight hours of jackhammering. -Is hands vibrate? -Oh my God. It's like a hundred pounds that bad. -That can't be good for your tendons. -No, definitely not. -The full body situation. -It's a good thing we have good traffic reports here on Kiss. -Lisa, thank you for everything that you say, the traffic. -I try. -When Lisa's out, we have Winnie doing traffic and all that. -Heavy traffic in Chelmsford on Route 3 southbound exit 81A. -Where's that? -With your traffic on Winnie. -She has no idea where you're going with Winnie on the traffic. -You know, it's just a road driving. -And then there's an accident in Weymouth. The shoulder is blocked on Route 3 at exit 38 with Winnie on your traffic. -How do you block a shoulder? -I don't know. -Kiss 108. It's the morning wrap-up on Billie and Lisa in the morning. -All right, at this point of the show, we look back at everything that happened on this Tuesday edition of the Billie and Lisa show. A big congratulations to listener Natalia going to see Justin Timberlake this weekend. -She's excited. - Natalia's ready to go, baby. -Yes. -Yes, she was our double play winner. How it works is every time you hear Justin Timberlake songs or, you know, same song or a different song back-to-back. We call her 25 like Natalia. You'll go see JT this weekend and qualify for that grand prize, which is a hotel, stay, spa, dinner, all that stuff. Your next shot, I can tell you now, will be with the Vibros this afternoon between 5 and 6 p.m. So the Karen Reid trial is winding down this week. We had Katherine Loftus in to, you know, give us a recap, answer your questions. -Hi, good morning, Justin. My name is Jean. I just listened to your review of the Karen Reid case. I was hoping you could give me the name and the person you all speak to in the morning because my shift normally is 7 a.m. So I miss your usually after review of the Karen Reid case and is she on Facebook? Does she have a page? Greatly appreciated. Have a great day. -Her name is Katherine Loftus and if you go to the podcast page of Billy and Lisa in the morning, we have everything isolated there. It's all in order so you can just go there and catch up if you're behind. And her Instagram and TikTok is note my objection and she'll be back on tomorrow. But the big, one of the big parts of the court yesterday was this Dr. Dan, right, Lisa? -Oh, God, he is Dan Wolf. -Yeah, he's an accident reconstructionist. -Yeah, I watched a little bit of it and I happened to notice Aunt Bev, Judge Bev. She was kind of drooling over him as was everyone else. -Hi, been watching that trial and the handsome Dan, the man, the expert on automobile crashes. I love his nickname. It's called Crash Daddy, meow. -Oh, boy. -Okay. -Oh, my. -Yeah, you know what comes next? -Yeah. [laughter] -Yeah, Katherine will be back on tomorrow. We had our weird stories segment at 8.15 and Billy had one of the ugliest dog was crowned this week. Yeah, he actually is pretty cute if you ask me, but... -Billy Titus could never compete in ugliest dog because he's so handsome and even more than being handsome. You know what? He's a good boy. -You're a good boy! He's a tightest. -Yeah, I don't know if I agree with the ugliest dog contest. -No. -What are you doing? -I don't even know why it exists. But some people take pride in it. The winners love winning. -Oh, they're so lovable. -Yeah, if you go back and listen to the podcast, we had the audio of the owner and she seemed pretty happy. And finally, if you're looking for something to do this week, here's an idea for you. -Good morning. It's the mayor of South Bend. I have something fun today that doesn't involve care and read. Come on down to the Boston Common Frog Pond. It's official opening day. Fun Stocks at 11 a.m. They'll have free frozen treats, free refreshments. They have a Lego Pit with a Lego expert. You can even meet the official mascot, Frog Pond Freddy. We need to have a great day. -Yeah, I mean, that's something to do with the kids. -Yeah, maybe you'll meet the mayor there. -Well, it's open now for the whole summer. -That's right. Yeah, I'm sure the mayor will be down there. The mayor of the South Bend, who's a talk backer, by the way, is a listener who joins the show every day. You can too, by the way. I feel like he goes to all these events. -Oh, you're probably seeing them. -Yeah. I feel like every event that he announces on this show, he goes to. -Yeah, he'll be down there with a big safari hat on. -Oh, just go to shorts. -Well, you know what? If you don't know what he looks like, you can just listen for him. -Really? Really? -We'll come right back, Billy. One of our listeners needs your advice. -Oh. -You're going to love this. A boating question. -Okay. -That's next. -What's up, Boston? It's Sabrina Carpenter. And you're waking up with Billy. And Lisa in the morning on Kiss 108. -Hey, guys. Welcome back, Justin. We have a question from the audience. -Yeah, it's going to be really hot today. Really beautiful. Great day to jump on the boat. -First boat day of the season today. We're going to take it up to Gloucester. Billy, if you have any wrecks where we should stop, what we should do. Thinking about Myo Marker for some cocktails to go. -You can go. -You know, maybe a little wing or sheet. Beach action. Again, Billy, let me know. Where should we go? What should we do? -Okay. If they're going to Gloucester, they mentioned the Myo Marker. My guess is they're docking at Cape Ann Marina, which is right there on the river. So, I would say venture off into town. There's a restaurant there called Tono, which is really, really good, owned by Anthony Cotterano. Great chef. He actually is the owner chef of Preza in the north end. -Love Preza. -You may want to check out Tono in Gloucester. It would be a good stop. Get a couple of cocktails, a really good dinner under your belt. I'm just saying. -I love wing or sheet beach. It's my favorite beach. -Oh, yeah. Beautiful. -It's really nice. And apparently, there's a boating side to it. Is that a wing or sheet? -Oh, where people beach their boats? -Yeah. -Yeah, it's right on the Anascomam River. -Well, you always say you don't go to the part where everyone else goes, you have a boat, you go to a different part. -Well, there's a private winger. Are you leading me here? There's a private wing or sheet beach? -Well, yeah. Well, I was talking about one day, at least, to Billy, about how it's my favorite beach. It's our favorite beach, wing or sheet. And Billy goes, "Oh, wow. I don't go to the part that you go to." -Oh, he did not say that. -Yeah, I go to the private section. -No, I happen to have some friends who have homes on the private wing or sheet. -That's all I said. -Got it. But when you come around and enter the Anascomam, there's a beach side there, and people don't pull up their boats and beach them and just kind of hang out there. -Sounds fun. -Yeah, that's a fun spot. But yeah, enjoy Gloucester, Gloucester is fabulous. You'll get out there on the Greasy Pole. By the way, if you're in Gloucester, you may want to go to the Beauport Hotel. -Oh, yeah. It's the Greasy Pole. -It's this Friday. -The Greasy Pole is this weekend. -Yeah. -There you go. -Yeah, it is. If they're going to be in Gloucester this weekend, that's what she said, right? You have to get into the harbor and watch the Greasy Pole. -Totally. -Pull the boat into the harbor, drop your anchor, or you can raft up off somebody else's boat. There'll be hundreds of boats in the harbor. -I love that. I love that competition. -They do the Greasy Pole over the water. -Right. -Right? -Oh, yeah. -Yeah, in Malden, they have St. Rocco's feast every summer. They do a Greasy Pole. -Yeah. -But it's on the ground. It's up. And then you have to climb up other people to get the piece of meat, the Gaba Ghoul, or whatever it is. -The Gaba Ghoul. -Wait a minute. -What? -So when you fall, you land on the Earth? -Yeah. Yes. Yes. -Well, that's for other people. -You take everybody down with you. -It's a team effort. -Yeah. -So all the big guys get at the bottom, and then they climb on their shoulders, and then the smaller guys from one their shoulder, all the way up top until the smallest guy gets the meat. -But if you fall, you can break your neck. -Very much so. -And in the Greasy Pole, you could hurt your privates. You know, you slip and... There's definitely some injuries there. -Well, you can bang something. -Yeah. -You're just going to land in the harbor. -Well, there's a lot of injuries, I mean injuries, but there's alcohol too involved, so sure. You don't really feel it. -Wow. -Well, there's some good old-fashioned glossure advice. -I love it. -And it's a different story. -Well, you know, it's a Greasy Pole. -The more grease on it, the more you slip on it. -Yeah. -You're going to watch that. [laughter] -You can always head down the Key West, right? -We always have a spare pull. -Always. -Yeah. -Always. -We'll take care of you. -Well, ask and answer, right? So, listen, if you ever have any questions or anything for Billy or Lisa or anybody, you can always hit us up on the Talkback mic. It's on the iHeart app. That's where she left that question. You just tap that microphone when you're listening to Kiss Live. -Mm-hmm. -I like that. -This is table grey, and we're back with Billy and Lisa in the morning on Kiss Live. -And we're back. Only a couple of minutes left. We want to remind people, we will be addressing the Carren Reed trial tomorrow morning on the show because we'll have Catherine Loftus back in because today is a big day. Closing arguments, chances are the jury's going to get the case, so there's going to be a lot to talk about. -A lot to talk about tomorrow morning. -Can't wait. Let's get to it. -Let's go! Because people want us talking about Carren Reed. -They do. -I think that's well documented. -But I can't wait to not talk about it anymore. -It's been a lot. -I'm fatigued. -Lisa and I have been in the trenches with this. -Do you understand, Winnie and I watch every second of the testimony. -Yeah. -It's hours long. -Yeah, it's been my whole life. -It's been for two months. -Yeah. -So you go home. -Yes, yes. -You're watching the stream, or you're watching TV. -So I record it, and then I watch it, like, I'll start at five o'clock, and I will go, like, until nine o'clock. -So you're not watching a capsulation of what happened that day. You're watching the stream start to finish of the testimony. -The whole thing. -That's crazy. -I leave here. I put YouTube on YouTube. You can scream it from all these different, you know, news sources. I'll stream it in the car. I'll stream it when I get home. I'll stream it on a walk. And if I miss something, I'll try to go back and catch up. I want to very miss. -It's a lot. -I'll be on a run or something, and I'll put it on my, you know, air pods. -So what we're saying is, tomorrow morning, we'll be talking about the Karen Read Trial for that stage five Karen that happened to send us a talk back. -No, Billy, I'm going to have to change the station. -Well, somebody was listening during your report in the six o'clock. -Yeah. -You know, it's long. It's 10 or 12 minutes long. -Oh, yeah. -And they didn't hear a mention of Karen Read, and they were upset. But we covered entertainment report that I want to talk about Karen Read. -7 to 8 is our Karen Read Trial. -Yeah, okay. -We have the attorney in. Take all your questions. -You can always listen to the Billy and Lisa podcast because they're all there. -That's right. -You're going to go back and revisit some of the things we talked about. They're all there wherever you find your podcast. -All right. But in the meantime, we have to get out of the way. You know, he's very sensitive, this mighty one. But the mighty McCabe, it's like if we're two seconds over, he gets all attitudey on us. -Well, he runs, like, full speed studio. -Yeah, I mean, he wakes up in the morning and he's like a shotgun out of bed. He wants to get on the air. So the mighty one is up next, and it's all yours, buddy. -Okay. Round two. Name something that's not boring. -Laundry? Ooh, a book club. Computer solitaire, huh? -Ah, sorry. We were looking for Chumba Casino. -Chumba? -Chumba? -That's right. ChumbaCasino.com has over a hundred casino-style games.
