Now this morning show in Boston, Billie and Lisa in

Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's what we do, it's who we are. We are
a great start to your day, Lisa Donovan.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We try and be right.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What's going to be weather wise?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Today we're back into the cold weather guys, cloudy forties.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Although I'll still take the forties given the winter we
had with zero and single numbers and ten degrees and wind.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, we had a lot of win yesterday. I have
to say I was in Boston and I literally I
was near the John Hancock. I don't even know how
that even happened.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, the wind came out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It was intense, like fifty mile an hour gus.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, and for most of the day it was very calm,
very mild, beautiful, and then suddenly wind it came back.
I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with wind. I don't know why, but.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I think it's this time of year.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We're playing the match game this morning, and today could
be the last day of the match game.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:02):

Speaker 1 (01:43):

true guess incorrectly because so many people are calling and
trying to be called twenty five.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's not easy.
Speaker 3 (01:50):

It's funny.
Speaker 11 (06:37):
Actually today I was coming in to the studio. It's
probably like five forty five when I came into this
room and the moon was right there.

Okay, did you hear about the restaurant on the Moon.
The food is terrific, but there's no atmosphere now the
entertainment updates with the Billy Gotza.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Okay, we've got another update on Wendy Williams. Reports say yes,
she will call into the View this week, but it
will not be tomorrow. It's going to be on Friday.
Speaker 11 (07:14):
I want it in person, me too, I do too.
I need to see her in the flesh.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
She did call into Good Day in New York yesterday
from the hospital, so I guess she's still in the hospital.
But she confirmed yesterday she did pass the psych exam
with flying colors, and she wants the guardianship lifted.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I have options, but in terms of getting out of guardianship,
that is my number one eight number one.
Speaker 12 (07:42):
Most important thing.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Listen.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Of course, of course the financial advisor.
Speaker 13 (07:46):
Of force, somebody to look after my money.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
You know what I'm saying, because that I have right
now is all with my guardian person.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It's exactly what we said yesterday.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's a lot. And how is the money dwindling?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
At this point it has to be. There isn't a
bottomless pet. I mean, she made a good living.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, and doesn't she sound fine?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
She does?
Speaker 3 (08:07):
She sounds fine.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah, So let's get rid of the guardianship. Then again,
who am I to say? I'm just saying, let her
live her life. Meantime, Michelle Obama's podcast, the first two

Speaker 3 (09:53):
I just I saw him in concert recently. He is
as good as he ever was. And I love their
friendship together, Like they toured together, they did an album together.
So yeah, you wouldn't expect that, like there's like a
brotherhood there.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Didn't you do the gym music all that must have
been a good thing.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That's where it was.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, it was shaggy shaggy. Sizza went on Kimmel last night.
I don't forget. She's heading out on tour with Kendrick Lamar.
That tour comes to Gillette Stadium May twelfth, but it
also goes to Toronto for two shows. That's Drake's home town.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
It's an international tour because you're going to Toronto for
two nights, Yes, we are.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Is Are you worried about that at all? Are you worried?
I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I wouldn't be either.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, it's going to be so fun.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Yeah, but what if you know who shows up to
the show in Toronto.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Who knows who?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
You know, who knows the wizard will just wave his
wand and you know that's.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
What the man behind the curtain is curtain.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
She says she's also going to be appearing on an
episode of Sesame that was actually.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
The most intense womb celebrities I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Who was Elmore, Big Bird? I at the Grouch.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
I got to talk to Cookie Monster.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Besides cookies over and over again.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
It's terrible diction and alliteration, very poor vocabulary, the tons
of yes, I was really inspired.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I just say that if I'm that big bird, I was.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Right, Yeah, you never do No, it's going to be
an amazing experience that Working on Sesames for an episode Barstools,
Dave Portnoy says he was asked to take a job
in the government. I thought a call a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
I don't know when I got the call, and it
was like, hey, would you have any interest Dave in
joining the Department of Commerce, the Commerce secretary under Lutnik
or the guy working under him. And they're like, but
a caveat of joining the government is somebody would have
to run bar store. You can't run barstool and work.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
For the government.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
By the way, I never even if I wanted to
do that, It wasn't They never like followed up. They're like,
let us know if you could find somebody to run
barstool and.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You're interested, and if you are interested.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
We'll schedule a call in a week to go over
the next steps. That never happened.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Dave fort get out of Swampskot, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
That take on me playing on the name was playing
in the background.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I love I love that song.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's funny.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
He says, you can't run be in the government and
run a company when Elon.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That was his point.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
He went on and on after that, that was his point.
Why can't he run that? And Elon is running Tesla
and everything else while he's on the government.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well special everybody.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I think it's probably best that Dave they never called back. Right,
he's good. He's good at barstool.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And Amazon, by the way, is running all of the
old episodes now of the Apprentice seasons one through seven
that used to get twenty million day people week.

job with the Lions Group. Oh wow, like an act,
like a legit job, and we had like them do challenges.
They had to fill a club one night. Wow, you know,
like five hundred people they had to get to come

of people. Yesterday we talked about Neo being polyamorous, having
four women in his life, and he talked about it
on iHeart with Big Boys neighborhood in La.

We got y'all all go out together, like all five
of y'all. Yeah, absolutely all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Now, whose schedules?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Like, you know what I'm saying, is it a the schedule?
Because I'm the busiest.
Speaker 14 (14:02):
I'm the one that always got something to do, Like
nine nights are the random?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
No, it's random. But I'll go all right.
Speaker 14 (14:09):
So for example, on this tour, you know, I'll let
this one come out for seven days, then she go home.
Then this will come out for seven days, and then
this will come out for seven.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Days, and then we do something altogether. Yea, I love

Speaker 14 (14:29):
And then you know, with us says holidays or whatever,
mind you. They again, they all get along with each other.
I have no problem hanging out with each other. But
I think one of the most important things about this
is understanding that these are four individual rights that need there.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
It was harder to lie. Huh, way harder, Yeah, way harder.
That's why I'm man like man. I wasted so much time,
so much money.

Shaggy from the Planet Fitness Kiss one Away Studios. Well,
we're back with the Villy and Lisa in the morning
on kiss.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Hey, welcome back everybody. Before we get to the match game,
Lisa big announcement with the book club. There is a
registration going on, but it's selling out.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
It is so yesterday in the nine o'clock hour, we
had Jeff Benedict, who wrote the book The Dynasty, and
then he created the ten part docuseries for Apple TV
about the Patriots and Bill Belichick and Tom Brady and
the Craft family. So he is doing the book club
April second at the Revere Hotel. The link is live
to register, so you can go to Lisa Donovan went away,
(17:37):
go to the Kiss Instagram and register because we want
to see you there. It was an amazing interview, but
again it happened very late in the show.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yes, yeah, he was a great guest yesterday. It'll be
a great book club.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And you'll meet him. So yeah, he wrote the Tiger book,
he wrote the Lebron book. We're such a sports town,
so this is this is a little something different for
Lisa's book Club.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
And trust me, it will so out within minutes. So
get there now, don't waste any more time. I feel
like it's the match game playoffs right now, because we
could wrap it up today. We've got two more prizes
on the board. All we need now is a caller
twenty five, six, one, seven, nine eight, And while we
wait for call of twenty five, while we're coming up
(18:20):
on Saint Patty's Day, and the tradition is the big
parade in South Boston. And apparently there was more trouble
than understand. There's been a history of trouble at the
Saint Patty's Day parade, but last year worse than every least.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
There were over a million people, I'm afraid. And last
year there was a lot of you know, obviously drinking.
There was a lot of violence, assaults, overcrowning, disorderly conduct
like people you know, peeing everywhere. Okay, so every year.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Once you have open urination, it's time to put put
in place some restrictions exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So the restrictions are they're going to start it earlier.
They're going to start at eleven. Thirty usually starts at one,
so it'll be over by two instead of over by four.
So they're trying to sort of like make it a
little bit more family friendly.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
See, I think it's a band aid. I don't think
there's going to be a big difference moving it to eleven.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They're just going to start drinking earlier.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
A lot of people have been drinking all night before
the Saint Patty's Day Parade, or at least started early
in the morning. The trouble makers are going to be
the trouble makers. All you need is added security, not
different hours. That's just my opinion exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
There were people on rooftops without roof decks like, oh,
beer cans thrown around. Yeah, okay, again, this happens every year.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
So to combat what's happened every year for one hundred years,
they're going to change the time up an hour and
a half and then if you're in the parade, you
cannot drink on the route, right.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, yeah, they typically a lot of politicians walk the route.
And trust me, it's a unique parade, parade, and it's
a unique holiday. I think we have the biggest celebration
in the country if it's the world for Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah, this is the best city to celebrate Saint Patrick's
fan because we have so many Irish people.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, we really do seen it all. I mean, Jenny
and I hosted.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Aware that two or three times. I used to bring
the boys down they were really little.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, we bring you up on the bandstand.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He did yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So anyway, Yeah, so new hours, that's the deal.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, that's at eleven thirty. It'll be over by two.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And much tougher on the public drinking and especially you
can't be peeing on someone's front stairs.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Sometimes you just you get so drunk, you just you
just don't care. Yeah, I mean, have you done that,
oh public? Not in front of people?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
In a bush? Yeah, you know, you gotta go, you
gotta go.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You remember, I think it's volumes that you felt the
need to ask him that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I mean, well, I was at I was at a
party one time and we fell asleep and one of
the people peed on a sleeping person.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Was Oh no, I thought he was at the toilet.
Unfortunately he was standing right over another person.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Really, you really can't.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Have any of that.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, So anyway, let's go. It's match game playoffs.

at a ten and hopefully we can go back to
back and have two winners. But in the meantime, Eliza,
hold on and producer Riley will give you everything you
(22:11):
need to see Gracie Abrams coming on.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Next topic of the day is a hot one as always,
tipping culture.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Is it getting too crazy or not? We'll discuss next week.
Speaker 14 (22:21):
Kiss Billy and Lisa every morning.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Kiss one.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I wait, so tipping is back in the news. I
guess Lis.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Everybody's frustrated, all right, So wallet Hub we like Walt Hub.
They revealed how strongly people feel about the tipping culture
right now. Ninety percent of Americans feel that tipping is
completely out of control. Almost three and five people think
businesses are using customer tips to replace employee salaries. Nearly
thirty percent admit they tip less when presented with a
(22:49):
tip suggestion screen. And that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The real frustration I think started with the iPads swing
over right, exactly. But now they added something else where.
There's the graduated tip like you can just give a tip,
or you can go to one of the graduated categories.
It's all getting like a science just to give a tip.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well, they're graduating up.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yes, yes, I just feel lately and I love tipping,
but I feel like I'm tipping all day long for something.
And there's something about the iPad. You know, I'm happy
to tip whatever, if it's just a cup on a counter.
There's something about the swinging of the iPad that bugs.
(23:31):
And they point at it too, yes, and they stand there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Well sometimes it's not just about the swinging. You put
your card in and then they'll point, yeah, the tip
is so you don't miss it.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Then you just feel pressured.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, And they're standing right there on the other side
of the iPad. So it's like, I mean, you want
to I don't know it. It's gotten out of control.
I think finally, I'm feeling it.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I think twenty percent is that's that's the baseline. If
you go below twenty percent, you are telling that person
that service was not good.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You're looking at someone that just did it, like you know.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's one hundred percent tury though, No, no.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
No, no no, I can I tell this little story
so Billy doesn't make you sound like a bad person.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I went to brunch this weekend.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
She was a horrible way, like like you know the
waitress that is looking at you, but like refuse it.
Like she saw that we were done eating and just
kept walking past us, walking past us. I'm like, you see,
we're done, And then she'd like do the whole thing
when they look above you like they don't know, like
you're walking past our table and you're looking everywhere like
you know what I mean, Like you know we're done eating,
like we my Knappin's on my plate, like we're done.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
She never came back and checked. She just sucked right.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
I was a server, and I standard I do twenty percent.
If you're great, I'll go up a few dollars if
you suck all down a few dollars. So in my
head like, oh, she's getting eighteen percent, like this she sucks,
like I'm gonna give her. I'm gonna show her and
give her eighteen percent.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So this no.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
But but when she but to the point she she
sucked right, and she gave me the little toast thing
because it was like the thing that you hold handheld,
the handheld thing they carry with him.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It wasn't like she the card and came back. She
didn't at the table.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
I put my card in and I was like looking
for the eighteen percent button and it was twenty twenty
two or twenty five.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It wasn't an option. So I gave her.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
Twenty percent because I was like, well, I'm not going
to then go customize it and do the map and
make it less than twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, but you're a little more judgmental because you were
one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I am, but I was a wait person too for
years and years. I always worked in the restaurant industry.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But yeah, if you've worked in the industry, you tip more.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
You do again, the basic thing is twenty percent or
twenty to twenty five percent.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, that's where you were eighteen You would have said
eighteen yes, because she genuinely was a bad server.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
Like and I was like that a bad day. No,
you could tell because her demeanor. It wasn't like, oh,
I'm so busy.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It was like I'm going to do everything, but wait
on you.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I think she was eyeballing your demeanor from the minute
you sat down.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I don't know, because I don't understand. Why would she
do that?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What were you running her?
Speaker 11 (25:59):
No, she came, she got our drinks, came back, We
knew what we wanted. Food was run by a food runner.
She never came back, never asked like do you need anything,
like whatever, Then we're done eating. And then she just
kept walking by because we were kind of sitting at
table that was like in the middle of the restaurant.
It was like a chio top like in the middle,
so you could you like, she just kept walking past.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I think she.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I mean, this is your clear case of reading the vibe.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
One of my friends is like that too. He's very,
very He's a stickler at restaurants. If if his drink
gets below half filled and the server does not come
over within a reasonable amount of time and ask if
he wants a refill, he deducts from their tap.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I mean his water glass.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, any drink that he has.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
So their general rule is if it's below half, the
server should come over and or ask, and he will
deduct her tip based on that or him him I.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Got no refills.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
By the way, I will say that he didn't get
any refills the customers.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Good morning guys.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
Yeah, tipping culture has gotten ridiculous these days, and I'm
about to have a conniption if I ask for a
strawberry covered donut, the guy turns around, gives it to me,
and then asks for a fifteen percent tip on the screen.
The only person I would tip fifteen percent for giving
me a donut, it's Billy.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You guys already know that. Hello, there we go. He
will give you a hauto tip.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I gotta meet this guy not that way, but he
knows to meet you anyway. We're coming up on topic time.
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Tell us you're tipping stories?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
You're dipping nightmarees six one seven nine three one one
one eight. Are you part of the ninety percent that
is totally fed up with tipping? Six one seven nine eight?
How do they talk back?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Justin You can leave your talkback on the iHeartRadio app.
I say it over and over again.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Download it it's free, and there's a red microphone that
you tap when you're listening to kiss One. Await, and
I see Jessica on the whole on the phone. On hold, Jessica,
please hold. It gets you coming up next on topic time.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lee in the morning.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Okay, topic time. We kicked it off. Tipping is out
of control. Everybody seems to feel that way, Lisa. You
had a story that said ninety percent of Americans feel
like tipping is way out of control.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Right exactly. They're exhausted by all of this constant tipping
and almost three out of five things businesses are using
customer tips to replace employee salaries, and nearly thirty percent
admit that they tip less when presented with a tip
suggestion screen.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Oh there that iPad that they swing around. Okay, Jessica
has been holding forever. Jessica's sorry to keep you waiting,
but good morning, good morning. So what do you think?
Speaker 10 (28:38):
I completely agree. It's outrageous and it's maddening when the
iPad gets spun in your face.
Speaker 12 (28:44):
Billy.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I completely agree, and it almost is like a sentiment
of resentment at that point where I almost don't feel
like I want to be tipping. But I grew up
being taught by my father that the word tip is
to insure promptness, and that's kind of just the mentality
of adapted right. So like, I'm not going into a
dispensary being asked to tip the bud tender for putting
(29:07):
my order in a bag or a takeout order at Chipotle.
It's ridiculous. If I'm gonna go sit at a restaurant
and order a drink and have have a time out
and someone's waiting on me, of course I'm going to
tip them that that's that's when it's warranted to ensure
the promptness.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
But I got to tell you, Jessica, I tip everywhere,
and I think I'm a good tipper across the board.
But there's something about the iPad spin that just I
don't know it. Again, its crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
This started during COVID, and it was for a good
reason because we were trying to support a lot of
the people that were working you know out you know,
the businesses. But it just it's now, it's it's lingered.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well I just loved the good old fashioned cup. Yeah,
you know, it's sitting right there, and you just put
a tip in it and it feels good. The spin
of the iPad never feels good, right, It feels like
you're tipping the owner.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
And when you put money in the jar and their
back is turned, you have to take it out and
put it back when they turn around, so they know
that you tipped.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
You need to get the credit.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
That's what Billy does. It happened once. It was a
very large tip. It was on holiday before he continued.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Justin yourn and I'm off air. Billy was saying for
his haircut down. You get a haircut every week, right,
he never knows what to tip, right, really, and he
said it's like a forty dollars haircut and he tips thirty.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
It's twenty to twenty five percent of the bill. That's standard.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, so you give seventy.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I enjoyed tipping across the board. Thing wrong with that,
it's the iPad spin, that aggravation, being forced into doing it. Yeah,
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
And then they're standing there watching you.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Well, they're very judgmental. I'll give you an example. We
were talking about tipping. Like a while ago, I got
my windshield replaced I've never tipped the windshield guy. He
came to my house, he did my windshield. I gave
him a tip. He was so happy he did. Yeah,
a job, great job. He was shocked. I said, you
did a great job.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
That's the best thing they can say when they're tips
are oh my god, thank you, just even if you're not,
even if you're not surprised, that's surprise.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
And and one more thing on that. A lot of
times they appreciate the tip. But also if you give
them a good rating, they appreciate that even yes, even
more survey.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yes, none of us do ever do If you do it,
they they are so happy with you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, let's go to Dave. He's in Cambridge. Good morning, Dave.
What do you want to add to the conversation.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
Hey, guys, Happy happy hump day everybody? Oh yeah, yeah, No,
I want to say kind of are you laughing at me,
Billy keeeth?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
No? I don't get happy hump day a lot, you know,
but I feel good when somebody says it to.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Me, you know.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
Okay, No, I just the two things I want to say.
With the spinning of the iPad. It's bad enough when
they do it. If you're picking up takeout, but where
they start to do it now when you're dining in,
and you know, that's the whole thing about If they're
dropping the check at the end of the meal, is
(31:59):
it gives you time to cut and think about it.
But if they're kind of you know, presenting you with
some type of you know, mobile device that they're basically
kind of like just turning to the other side, it's
just awkward because it's no matter what you give, it
feels weird. Uh, you know, so, yeah, that's just impersonal.
(32:20):
But you know, as far as what Whinny said, if
where restaurants have gotten so expensive, if you're expected to
pay you know, fifteen twenty twenty five percent, and it's basically,
you know, going to be about one hundred dollars for
a couple at you know, a fairly you know, yea restaurant. Yeah,
then I'm sorry. But if you're only coming and taking
(32:43):
my order, you're you're not like checking in, You're not
asking if I want to refill, You're not at least
stopping by a few times. I'm not going to give
you twenty five percent. And and don't act pissed if
if you don't get it. It has to be more
than you're just taking my order, especially if the food's
being run by by runners, and it just I think
(33:04):
servers have to and I've been a server my whole life,
so yeah, I'm saying this as one. You have to
put the work in where going out to dinner has
gotten so expensive.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And Dave, you you mentioned getting through. You mentioned the
new handheld now that they hand you that that bugs
me too.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah, that they're becoming more and more.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, a good call, David. By the way, Dave, happy humpted.
Let's go to Brittany and Brookline. Boy, that sounds good.
Hey Britney and Brookline. Good morning Britney person, how are
you good?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
What have you got so?
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I watch?
Speaker 6 (33:41):
You want to talk about tipping ahead of time. So
when we get firewood delivered, we tipped twenty bucks ahead
of time and then they actually end up giving up
more firewood. So get that tip in ahead of time
you actually sort of can get a benefit from them.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Ah. Okay, I have been getting firewood lately, but us
make a lot of fires.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
What we did, we live in the very old house.
I like we ordered if you order it ahead of time.
I'm just giving an example if you if you tip
ahead of time, for example, a drop off or things
that they have extra for. Usually if they're so happy
to get tipp they're like, oh, well here's a little
bit of extra for you. So if you tip ahead
of time, you actually get a reward back.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well that's cool. Brittany in Brookline, so you have your
own wood guy?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we live in Brooklyn. They delivered
trust from framing him, but now they know it. They're like, oh,
we get extra wood for these guys because you know
we're gonna get tipped.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
You know what, you're getting the best cut. You know,
he's hand picking your wood just for you, Brittany. But
good call, thank you. Let's go to Nancy. She's in Lynnfield.
Good morning, Nancy, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 12 (34:45):
Go ahead, this is so exciting.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
It's my first time calling in.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Well, thank you for calling about kipping.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
I agree with you, Billy about the tip jar.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I wish that I saw that.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
More than the iPad swiveled.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
But I don't always have cash on me. So what
I've been doing a lot lately is I'll ask, like
waiters or whatever, if they have Benmo and then I'll
then mow them because I'm always so nervous. If they're
not getting they're cut.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, all right, try and leave.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
We try and leave cash as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, but she makes a good point. Yeah, that's why
we don't see the tip jars often because people.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Don't carry cash, right, But when you do, it's good
to just give it to them.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yes, because it goes directly to them.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Billy is in Sausage City when he
wrote Sausage is this Saugust, the city of Sausage. I
don't know what's on your mind, but let's go to Billy,
Billy Sausage. Billy, what have you gotten Saugust?
Speaker 11 (35:50):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It drives me crazy when you with the uber eats
and they do a dash and stuff like that that
you know, no matter how much food they're bringing you,
they want. So if you're if you're getting a hundred
from some way, you're paying him twenty dollars to literally
carry two bags, you do it. I just I just
don't get the just behind that.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah, isn't it starting to feel like you're tipping all
day long? Like no matter where you go, what you're
doing there? Oh, there's another tip.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
It's so true.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Oh, I tell my employees. I tell my employees all
the time. I run a dug a don. I'm like,
you get a tip for exceptional service. Somebody isn't obligated
to give you a tip. If you do a great job,
then you should be getting a tip, Handy, somebody a
cup of coffee doesn't necessarily tell you you should get
a tip.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So you're running a billy, You're running a duncan.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
You out there on Root one?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he used to give you a brand
muff and every one, Oh.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Heed to Bill Root one, and I used to use
your bathroom pretty much every day.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So thank you for your service, Billy in so many ways. Oh,
the old brand muffin, I remember picking that up every
morning Root one. That's the duncan where during the holidays
I put the giant tip in the are, but no
one was looking.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
That's so I took it out of the jar.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That was the duncan.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, I wonder if he was the manager.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Actually, let's ask him, Billy. Hey, Billy's still there, Yeah,
I'm still there.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, how long have you been duncan Route one?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Well, I'm out of it now. But I was thirty thirty.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Years so you must have. Were you the manager?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I was the general man.
Speaker 10 (37:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
See, so you were there then. Yeah, So let me
ask you a feeling on that, Billy, since we have
him right. So, it was a holiday weekend, I think
it was, you know, right around Christmas, and I went
in and you know, I got coffee for the morning
show whatever, a couple of muffins. But I wanted to
leave a really good tip because it's the holiday, So
I left a very large tip. I just felt like
(37:45):
it because I go there every morning. I think it
was fifty bucks. Okay, okay, but no one was looking.
The donut person had her back to me. But so
now I'm standing there and I'm debating, Oh God, do
I take it out and put it back in? And
so I did take it out, and they make fun
of me all the time on this show. Did I
(38:07):
do the right thing? Billy?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Well, I saw you on the video that day and
I thought you were stealing the chips, but I reviewed
the tape all the way through and realized that you
were putting it in there.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Actually, I have another great root one Duncan story. Do
you remember Randy the stunt guy. Yeah, we sent him
in once on Easter or right around Easter, dressed as
the Easter Bunny. And you must have been there, Billy.
We told him to go into the duncan on root one,
jump over the counter and start taking nuts and then
(38:40):
he and he was running down one.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Were you there for that, Billy?
Speaker 4 (38:50):
I was not there that thing.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah. Well, happy Humpday, Buddy and Lisa kiss crazy seven

Emails come in. Meeting this weekend the Saint Patrick's Day Parade.
It's Sunday. We talked about that this hour. Some changes
to the parade, the times to kind of decrease the
drinking and the partying and the peeing in public.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
Hey, justin, it's Attorney Ken Here. Just a little piece
of information. If you decide to urinate at the Saint
Patrick's Day Parade, particularly if in the view of families
with children, you can be charged and convicted of in
decent public exposure, and if convicted, that could place you
as a Level three sex offender for the rest.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
I know down there.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
It's serious.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
No, you don't want to be a skin dog. It's
the worst.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh, that is important information.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
Worst the worst And if you missed our topic time,
which we'll talk about later on the wrap up. At
nine forty we talked about tipping culture and Billy told
a funny story about Duncan on Root one and Randy
who used to work here.
Speaker 11 (40:56):
Hey, it's Lucy here.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
I just wanted to let you guys know ippreciate you
so much. I was having such a bad morning.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I was really cranky.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
But then I just heard the story that Billy told
about the Easter.
Speaker 9 (41:07):
Bunny and being chased down one, and that just made.

Now this morning show in Boston, Billie and Lisa in
the morning. It's just a great start to my day
on Kiss one Away.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That's what we do, it's who we are. We are
a great start to your day, Lisa Donovan.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
We try and be right.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What's going to be weather wise?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Today we're back into the cold weather guys, cloudy forties.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Although I'll still take the forties given the winter we
had with zero and single numbers and ten degrees and wind.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, we had a lot of win yesterday. I have
to say I was in Boston and I literally I
was near the John Hancock. I don't even know how
that even happened.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, the wind came out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It was intense, like fifty mile an hour gus.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah, and for most of the day it was very calm,
very mild, beautiful, and then suddenly wind it came back.
I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with wind. I don't know why, but.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I think it's this time of year.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We're playing the match game this morning, and today could
be the last day of the match game.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We have two big prizes up there, we do.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
We have Gracy Abrams at the TV Garden and Jsier

Speaker 5 (01:08):
The Gracie Tour sold out very fast. Yeah, and then
Jose Air at Fenway. I mean that's going to be
a big show.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, any show at Fenway is like amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So seven ten and eight ten could be your last
chances at the mach match game. I'm not confirming that,
but could be.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, we're on a good role. When get back to
back winners, it's over. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
I think a lot of people have their boards, they're

attention and you know, taking their homework.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, they got very good, very fast.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Well they get shamed when they call and get you know,
true guess incorrectly because so many people are calling and
trying to be called twenty five.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's not easy.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, That's why I'm so surprised. Everyone's like in it
to win it, and it.
Speaker 2 (01:55):

Speaker 11 (07:14):
I want it in person, me too, I do too.
I need to see her in the flesh.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
She did call into Good Day in New York yesterday
from the hospital, so I guess she's still in the hospital.
But she confirmed yesterday she did pass the psych exam
with flying colors, and she wants the guardianship lifted.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I have options, but in terms of getting out of guardianship,
that is my number one eight number one.
Speaker 12 (07:42):
Most important thing.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Listen.
Speaker 10 (07:43):
Of course, of course the financial advisor.
Speaker 13 (07:46):
Of force, somebody to look after my money.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
You know what I'm saying, because that I have right
now is all with my guardian person.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It's exactly what we said yesterday.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's a lot. And how is the money dwindling?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
At this point it has to be. There isn't a
bottomless pet. I mean, she made a good living.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, and doesn't she sound fine?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
She does?
Speaker 3 (08:07):

two nights, Yes, we are.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Is Are you worried about that at all? Are you worried?
I'm not worried about it.
Speaker 7 (10:36):

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, it's going to be so fun.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Yeah, but what if you know who shows up to
the show in Toronto.

episode of Sesame that was actually.
Speaker 7 (11:02):
The most intense womb celebrities I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Who was Elmore, Big Bird? I at the Grouch.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
I got to talk to Cookie Monster.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Besides cookies over and over again.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
It's terrible diction and alliteration, very poor vocabulary, the tons
of yes, I was really inspired.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
I just say that if I'm that big bird, I was.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Right, Yeah, you never do No, it's going to be
an amazing experience that Working on Sesames for an episode Barstools,
Dave Portnoy says he was asked to take a job
in the government. I thought a call a couple of
months ago.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
I don't know when I got the call, and it
was like, hey, would you have any interest Dave in
joining the Department of Commerce, the Commerce secretary under Lutnik
or the guy working under him. And they're like, but
a caveat of joining the government is somebody would have
to run bar store. You can't run barstool and work.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
For the government.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
By the way, I never even if I wanted to
do that, It wasn't They never like followed up. They're like,
let us know if you could find somebody to run
barstool and.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You're interested, and if you are interested.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
We'll schedule a call in a week to go over
the next steps. That never happened.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Dave fort get out of Swampskot, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
That take on me playing on the name was playing
in the background.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
I love I love that song.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's funny.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
He says, you can't run be in the government and
run a company when Elon.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
That was his point.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
He went on and on after that, that was his point.
Why can't he run that? And Elon is running Tesla
and everything else while he's on the government.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Well special everybody.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I think it's probably best that Dave they never called back. Right,
he's good. He's good at barstool.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And Amazon, by the way, is running all of the
old episodes now of the Apprentice seasons one through seven
that used to get twenty million day people week.

And then you know, with us says holidays or whatever,
mind you. They again, they all get along with each other.

is understanding that these are four individual rights that need there.

It was harder to lie. Huh, way harder, Yeah, way harder.
That's why I'm man like man. I wasted so much time,
so much money.

Saint Patty's Day parade, but last year worse than every least.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
There were over a million people, I'm afraid. And last
year there was a lot of you know, obviously drinking.
There was a lot of violence, assaults, overcrowning, disorderly conduct
like people you know, peeing everywhere. Okay, so every year.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Once you have open urination, it's time to put put
in place some restrictions exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
So the restrictions are they're going to start it earlier.
They're going to start at eleven. Thirty usually starts at one,
so it'll be over by two instead of over by four.
So they're trying to sort of like make it a
little bit more family friendly.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
See, I think it's a band aid. I don't think
there's going to be a big difference moving it to eleven.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
They're just going to start drinking earlier.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
A lot of people have been drinking all night before
the Saint Patty's Day Parade, or at least started early
in the morning. The trouble makers are going to be
the trouble makers. All you need is added security, not
different hours. That's just my opinion exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
There were people on rooftops without roof decks like, oh,
beer cans thrown around. Yeah, okay, again, this happens every year.
Speaker 11 (19:32):
So to combat what's happened every year for one hundred years,
they're going to change the time up an hour and
a half and then if you're in the parade, you
cannot drink on the route, right.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Yeah, yeah, they typically a lot of politicians walk the route.
And trust me, it's a unique parade, parade, and it's
a unique holiday. I think we have the biggest celebration
in the country if it's the world for Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah, this is the best city to celebrate Saint Patrick's
fan because we have so many Irish people.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, we really do seen it all. I mean, Jenny
and I hosted.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Aware that two or three times. I used to bring
the boys down they were really little.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Yeah, we bring you up on the bandstand.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
He did yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
So anyway, Yeah, so new hours, that's the deal.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Yeah, that's at eleven thirty. It'll be over by two.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
And much tougher on the public drinking and especially you
can't be peeing on someone's front stairs.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Right, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
Sometimes you just you get so drunk, you just you
just don't care. Yeah, I mean, have you done that,
oh public? Not in front of people?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
In a bush? Yeah, you know, you gotta go, you
gotta go.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You remember, I think it's volumes that you felt the
need to ask him that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
I mean, well, I was at I was at a
party one time and we fell asleep and one of
the people peed on a sleeping person.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Was Oh no, I thought he was at the toilet.
Unfortunately he was standing right over another person.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Really, you really can't.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Have any of that.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, So anyway, let's go. It's match game playoffs.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Eliza in North Andover on Mine one.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Good morning, Eliza, Good morning, Eliza. This is a big day.
This could be the last day of the match game,
so you may get in last minute. I need to
get your picks. Let's play the match game.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Justin It's time to play Lisa's match games.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
One away, right, here on Nick Kiss one. A wait,
the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Okay, Eliza, what's your
first pick? Number fourteen?
Speaker 11 (21:32):
Please?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Okayracy Abrams at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
It's a big show man, this isn't oh go ahead?
Number four.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, match game playoffs and you now, Eliza, are going
to see Gracie Abrams. That's a big show ted Garden. Yeah.
So thank you for playing it, thank you for being
a great player. So we have one more shot today
at a ten and hopefully we can go back to
back and have two winners. But in the meantime, Eliza,
hold on and producer Riley will give you everything you
(22:11):
need to see Gracie Abrams coming on.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
Next topic of the day is a hot one as always,
tipping culture.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Is it getting too crazy or not? We'll discuss next week.
Speaker 14 (22:21):
Kiss Billy and Lisa every morning.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Kiss one.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I wait, so tipping is back in the news. I
guess Lis.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Everybody's frustrated, all right, So wallet Hub we like Walt Hub.
They revealed how strongly people feel about the tipping culture
right now. Ninety percent of Americans feel that tipping is
completely out of control. Almost three and five people think
businesses are using customer tips to replace employee salaries. Nearly
thirty percent admit they tip less when presented with a
(22:49):
tip suggestion screen. And that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
The real frustration I think started with the iPads swing
over right, exactly. But now they added something else where.
There's the graduated tip like you can just give a tip,
or you can go to one of the graduated categories.
It's all getting like a science just to give a tip.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Well, they're graduating up.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Yes, yes, I just feel lately and I love tipping,
but I feel like I'm tipping all day long for something.
And there's something about the iPad. You know, I'm happy
to tip whatever, if it's just a cup on a counter.
There's something about the swinging of the iPad that bugs.
(23:31):
And they point at it too, yes, and they stand there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Well sometimes it's not just about the swinging. You put
your card in and then they'll point, yeah, the tip
is so you don't miss it.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Then you just feel pressured.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Yeah, And they're standing right there on the other side
of the iPad. So it's like, I mean, you want
to I don't know it. It's gotten out of control.
I think finally, I'm feeling it.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I think twenty percent is that's that's the baseline. If
you go below twenty percent, you are telling that person
that service was not good.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You're looking at someone that just did it, like you know.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's one hundred percent tury though, No, no.
Speaker 11 (24:06):
No, no no, I can I tell this little story
so Billy doesn't make you sound like a bad person.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I went to brunch this weekend.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
She was a horrible way, like like you know the
waitress that is looking at you, but like refuse it.
Like she saw that we were done eating and just
kept walking past us, walking past us. I'm like, you see,
we're done, And then she'd like do the whole thing
when they look above you like they don't know, like
you're walking past our table and you're looking everywhere like
you know what I mean, Like you know we're done eating,
like we my Knappin's on my plate, like we're done.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
She never came back and checked. She just sucked right.
Speaker 11 (24:34):
I was a server, and I standard I do twenty percent.
If you're great, I'll go up a few dollars if
you suck all down a few dollars. So in my
head like, oh, she's getting eighteen percent, like this she sucks,
like I'm gonna give her. I'm gonna show her and
give her eighteen percent.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
So this no.
Speaker 11 (24:49):
But but when she but to the point she she
sucked right, and she gave me the little toast thing
because it was like the thing that you hold handheld,
the handheld thing they carry with him.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It wasn't like she the card and came back. She
didn't at the table.
Speaker 11 (25:02):
I put my card in and I was like looking
for the eighteen percent button and it was twenty twenty
two or twenty five.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
It wasn't an option. So I gave her.
Speaker 11 (25:10):
Twenty percent because I was like, well, I'm not going
to then go customize it and do the map and
make it less than twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yeah, but you're a little more judgmental because you were
one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I am, but I was a wait person too for
years and years. I always worked in the restaurant industry.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
But yeah, if you've worked in the industry, you tip more.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
You do again, the basic thing is twenty percent or
twenty to twenty five percent.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, that's where you were eighteen You would have said
eighteen yes, because she genuinely was a bad server.
Speaker 11 (25:42):
Like and I was like that a bad day. No,
you could tell because her demeanor. It wasn't like, oh,
I'm so busy.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
It was like I'm going to do everything, but wait
on you.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I think she was eyeballing your demeanor from the minute
you sat down.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I don't know, because I don't understand. Why would she
do that?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
What were you running her?
Speaker 11 (25:59):
No, she came, she got our drinks, came back, We
knew what we wanted. Food was run by a food runner.
She never came back, never asked like do you need anything,
like whatever, Then we're done eating. And then she just
kept walking by because we were kind of sitting at
table that was like in the middle of the restaurant.
It was like a chio top like in the middle,
so you could you like, she just kept walking past.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I think she.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I mean, this is your clear case of reading the vibe.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
One of my friends is like that too. He's very,
very He's a stickler at restaurants. If if his drink
gets below half filled and the server does not come
over within a reasonable amount of time and ask if
he wants a refill, he deducts from their tap.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
I mean his water glass.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, any drink that he has.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
So their general rule is if it's below half, the
server should come over and or ask, and he will
deduct her tip based on that or him him I.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Got no refills.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
By the way, I will say that he didn't get
any refills the customers.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Good morning guys.
Speaker 13 (26:57):
Yeah, tipping culture has gotten ridiculous these days, and I'm
about to have a conniption if I ask for a
strawberry covered donut, the guy turns around, gives it to me,
and then asks for a fifteen percent tip on the screen.
The only person I would tip fifteen percent for giving
me a donut, it's Billy.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You guys already know that. Hello, there we go. He
will give you a hauto tip.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I gotta meet this guy not that way, but he
knows to meet you anyway. We're coming up on topic time.
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Tell us you're tipping stories?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
You're dipping nightmarees six one seven nine three one one
one eight. Are you part of the ninety percent that
is totally fed up with tipping? Six one seven nine eight?
How do they talk back?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Justin You can leave your talkback on the iHeartRadio app.
I say it over and over again.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Download it it's free, and there's a red microphone that
you tap when you're listening to kiss One. Await, and
I see Jessica on the whole on the phone. On hold, Jessica,
please hold. It gets you coming up next on topic time.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lee in the morning.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Okay, topic time. We kicked it off. Tipping is out
of control. Everybody seems to feel that way, Lisa. You
had a story that said ninety percent of Americans feel
like tipping is way out of control.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Right exactly. They're exhausted by all of this constant tipping
and almost three out of five things businesses are using
customer tips to replace employee salaries, and nearly thirty percent
admit that they tip less when presented with a tip
suggestion screen.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Oh there that iPad that they swing around. Okay, Jessica
has been holding forever. Jessica's sorry to keep you waiting,
but good morning, good morning. So what do you think?
Speaker 10 (28:38):
I completely agree. It's outrageous and it's maddening when the
iPad gets spun in your face.
Speaker 12 (28:44):
Billy.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I completely agree, and it almost is like a sentiment
of resentment at that point where I almost don't feel
like I want to be tipping. But I grew up
being taught by my father that the word tip is
to insure promptness, and that's kind of just the mentality
of adapted right. So like, I'm not going into a
dispensary being asked to tip the bud tender for putting
(29:07):
my order in a bag or a takeout order at Chipotle.
It's ridiculous. If I'm gonna go sit at a restaurant
and order a drink and have have a time out
and someone's waiting on me, of course I'm going to
tip them that that's that's when it's warranted to ensure
the promptness.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
But I got to tell you, Jessica, I tip everywhere,
and I think I'm a good tipper across the board.
But there's something about the iPad spin that just I
don't know it. Again, its crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
This started during COVID, and it was for a good
reason because we were trying to support a lot of
the people that were working you know out you know,
the businesses. But it just it's now, it's it's lingered.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Well I just loved the good old fashioned cup. Yeah,
you know, it's sitting right there, and you just put
a tip in it and it feels good. The spin
of the iPad never feels good, right, It feels like
you're tipping the owner.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
And when you put money in the jar and their
back is turned, you have to take it out and
put it back when they turn around, so they know
that you tipped.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
You need to get the credit.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
That's what Billy does. It happened once. It was a
very large tip. It was on holiday before he continued.
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Justin yourn and I'm off air. Billy was saying for
his haircut down. You get a haircut every week, right,
he never knows what to tip, right, really, and he
said it's like a forty dollars haircut and he tips thirty.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
It's twenty to twenty five percent of the bill. That's standard.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, so you give seventy.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I enjoyed tipping across the board. Thing wrong with that,
it's the iPad spin, that aggravation, being forced into doing it. Yeah,
that's what it is.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
And then they're standing there watching you.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Well, they're very judgmental. I'll give you an example. We
were talking about tipping. Like a while ago, I got
my windshield replaced I've never tipped the windshield guy. He
came to my house, he did my windshield. I gave
him a tip. He was so happy he did. Yeah,
a job, great job. He was shocked. I said, you
did a great job.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
That's the best thing they can say when they're tips
are oh my god, thank you, just even if you're not,
even if you're not surprised, that's surprise.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
And and one more thing on that. A lot of
times they appreciate the tip. But also if you give
them a good rating, they appreciate that even yes, even
more survey.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yes, none of us do ever do If you do it,
they they are so happy with you.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Okay, let's go to Dave. He's in Cambridge. Good morning, Dave.
What do you want to add to the conversation.
Speaker 12 (31:24):
Hey, guys, Happy happy hump day everybody? Oh yeah, yeah, No,
I want to say kind of are you laughing at me,
Billy keeeth?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
No? I don't get happy hump day a lot, you know,
but I feel good when somebody says it to.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Me, you know.
Speaker 12 (31:39):
Okay, No, I just the two things I want to say.
With the spinning of the iPad. It's bad enough when
they do it. If you're picking up takeout, but where
they start to do it now when you're dining in,
and you know, that's the whole thing about If they're
dropping the check at the end of the meal, is
(31:59):
it gives you time to cut and think about it.
But if they're kind of you know, presenting you with
some type of you know, mobile device that they're basically
kind of like just turning to the other side, it's
just awkward because it's no matter what you give, it
feels weird. Uh, you know, so, yeah, that's just impersonal.
(32:20):
But you know, as far as what Whinny said, if
where restaurants have gotten so expensive, if you're expected to
pay you know, fifteen twenty twenty five percent, and it's basically,
you know, going to be about one hundred dollars for
a couple at you know, a fairly you know, yea restaurant. Yeah,
then I'm sorry. But if you're only coming and taking
(32:43):
my order, you're you're not like checking in, You're not
asking if I want to refill, You're not at least
stopping by a few times. I'm not going to give
you twenty five percent. And and don't act pissed if
if you don't get it. It has to be more
than you're just taking my order, especially if the food's
being run by by runners, and it just I think
(33:04):
servers have to and I've been a server my whole life,
so yeah, I'm saying this as one. You have to
put the work in where going out to dinner has
gotten so expensive.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
And Dave, you you mentioned getting through. You mentioned the
new handheld now that they hand you that that bugs
me too.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Yeah, that they're becoming more and more.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah, a good call, David. By the way, Dave, happy humpted.
Let's go to Brittany and Brookline. Boy, that sounds good.
Hey Britney and Brookline. Good morning Britney person, how are
you good?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Go ahead?
Speaker 2 (33:38):
What have you got so?
Speaker 4 (33:41):
I watch?
Speaker 6 (33:41):
You want to talk about tipping ahead of time. So
when we get firewood delivered, we tipped twenty bucks ahead
of time and then they actually end up giving up
more firewood. So get that tip in ahead of time
you actually sort of can get a benefit from them.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Ah. Okay, I have been getting firewood lately, but us
make a lot of fires.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
What we did, we live in the very old house.
I like we ordered if you order it ahead of time.
I'm just giving an example if you if you tip
ahead of time, for example, a drop off or things
that they have extra for. Usually if they're so happy
to get tipp they're like, oh, well here's a little
bit of extra for you. So if you tip ahead
of time, you actually get a reward back.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well that's cool. Brittany in Brookline, so you have your
own wood guy?
Speaker 6 (34:24):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we live in Brooklyn. They delivered
trust from framing him, but now they know it. They're like, oh,
we get extra wood for these guys because you know
we're gonna get tipped.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
You know what, you're getting the best cut. You know,
he's hand picking your wood just for you, Brittany. But
good call, thank you. Let's go to Nancy. She's in Lynnfield.
Good morning, Nancy, Hi, how are you good?
Speaker 12 (34:45):
Go ahead, this is so exciting.
Speaker 5 (34:47):
It's my first time calling in.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Well, thank you for calling about kipping.
Speaker 6 (34:52):
I agree with you, Billy about the tip jar.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I wish that I saw that.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
More than the iPad swiveled.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
But I don't always have cash on me. So what
I've been doing a lot lately is I'll ask, like
waiters or whatever, if they have Benmo and then I'll
then mow them because I'm always so nervous. If they're
not getting they're cut.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, all right, try and leave.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
We try and leave cash as much as possible.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, but she makes a good point. Yeah, that's why
we don't see the tip jars often because people.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Don't carry cash, right, But when you do, it's good
to just give it to them.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yes, because it goes directly to them.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Billy is in Sausage City when he
wrote Sausage is this Saugust, the city of Sausage. I
don't know what's on your mind, but let's go to Billy,
Billy Sausage. Billy, what have you gotten Saugust?
Speaker 11 (35:50):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (35:50):
It drives me crazy when you with the uber eats
and they do a dash and stuff like that that
you know, no matter how much food they're bringing you,
they want. So if you're if you're getting a hundred
from some way, you're paying him twenty dollars to literally
carry two bags, you do it. I just I just
don't get the just behind that.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah, isn't it starting to feel like you're tipping all
day long? Like no matter where you go, what you're
doing there? Oh, there's another tip.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
It's so true.
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Oh, I tell my employees. I tell my employees all
the time. I run a dug a don. I'm like,
you get a tip for exceptional service. Somebody isn't obligated
to give you a tip. If you do a great job,
then you should be getting a tip, Handy, somebody a
cup of coffee doesn't necessarily tell you you should get
a tip.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So you're running a billy, You're running a duncan.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
You out there on Root one?
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he used to give you a brand
muff and every one, Oh.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Heed to Bill Root one, and I used to use
your bathroom pretty much every day.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
So thank you for your service, Billy in so many ways. Oh,
the old brand muffin, I remember picking that up every
morning Root one. That's the duncan where during the holidays
I put the giant tip in the are, but no
one was looking.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
That's so I took it out of the jar.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That was the duncan.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Yeah, I wonder if he was the manager.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Actually, let's ask him, Billy. Hey, Billy's still there, Yeah,
I'm still there.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Yeah, how long have you been duncan Route one?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Well, I'm out of it now. But I was thirty thirty.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Years so you must have. Were you the manager?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
I was the general man.
Speaker 10 (37:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
See, so you were there then. Yeah, So let me
ask you a feeling on that, Billy, since we have
him right. So, it was a holiday weekend, I think
it was, you know, right around Christmas, and I went
in and you know, I got coffee for the morning
show whatever, a couple of muffins. But I wanted to
leave a really good tip because it's the holiday, So
I left a very large tip. I just felt like
(37:45):
it because I go there every morning. I think it
was fifty bucks. Okay, okay, but no one was looking.
The donut person had her back to me. But so
now I'm standing there and I'm debating, Oh God, do
I take it out and put it back in? And
so I did take it out, and they make fun
of me all the time on this show. Did I
(38:07):
do the right thing? Billy?
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Well, I saw you on the video that day and
I thought you were stealing the chips, but I reviewed
the tape all the way through and realized that you
were putting it in there.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Actually, I have another great root one Duncan story. Do
you remember Randy the stunt guy. Yeah, we sent him
in once on Easter or right around Easter, dressed as
the Easter Bunny. And you must have been there, Billy.
We told him to go into the duncan on root one,
