Hey guys, good morning, it's producer Riley from Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. We're out on the top five
moments of the week, and let's get right into it.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The number five moment.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You might know the name McCabe from Afternoons or just
because Billy never seems to get his name right, and
he got hit by a car and Billy gets all
the details out of him.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know, when we wrap up the show every morning
here on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Up next,
I always say, is the mighty one, the mighty McCabe,
And I always make a joke that he's shuffling down
the hall right limping, he's got a hitch.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
So well, you also call him by the wrong name,
all right, don't forget.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We've got more Usher tickets coming up with the mighty McQuinn.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Who is that? Yeah, so what are the odds?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The mighty McCabe, who comes in at ten o'clock right
after USSA every day, is sitting in the studio right now,
and he walked in this morning.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
And that's what I say.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I talk about him shuffling down the hall with tiny
feet he got hit by a car into hit and run.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, and you weren't in a car.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
No, no, no, no, I was. I take the train
into work sometimes I take the Tea Love that Love
the Orange Line. But obviously I have to walk to
the train, and it's like a five minute walk, so
it's very.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Hard for me to get hit by a car.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
To be clear, I crossed the street like once, but
directly outside.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Of my house.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
I walk out into the into the Columbus ave and
beautiful boss, and this guy turns onto the street, I guess,
not looking, and just slams right into my butt in
the ass I got.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I got hit.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Exactly.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
But to be clear, to be clear, I'm fine.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Handsome, and he's so gay.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
What are the chances that it's the mayor of the
South End that hit me?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
No, I don't think they give him a license.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
I hope not ill Love mayor of South End. But no,
it was not. It's not that deep. I mean, and
he was. He did stop. He was like, I'm so sorry,
I didn't even see you, despite me being clearly in
the middle of the road, just like brush my butt,
and he actually ran over my backpack.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
So I gotta rip that what is wrong with you?
You're understating it.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
If I were you, I would have hit the ground
and rolled over and told nobody touched me until the
ambulance comes.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Played number I did. I got, I got info.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Everyone keeps being like this is such a good money
making opportunity.

I think you have to start to have like a
hurt neck.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
You know, you gotta wear a brace for the rest
of the way.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I do think about you know how my body has
been affected by such an event.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Well, you know what you have to do right away.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
You have to call top dog law.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Oh my god, my god, yes, Atmatic.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
It was really funny because I walked out with my neighbor,
who's a very nice guy. I turned around and he
like he like screeched. I've never heard him say words
when you knocked down? No, no, no, no, no no again.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
Anguish, emotional too, yeaheah, I haven't had time to process.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Anytime you're hit, you hit the ground immediately. I don't
care if you would just brush and don't move until
medical teams arrived.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I don't know if anybody I would assume when he
might think different. But I never think about the money
making opportunity in the accident, right, No.

Everyone was so distracted by my little feet, which are
so normal sized.
Speaker 3 (05:56):

Speaker 4 (06:50):
And I love McCabe. He's a nice guy, so helpful.
Now he's gonna get Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Guys, Good morning, producer Riley from Billy and Lisa and
the Morning, continuing to count down the top five moments
of the week, and one of our topic times this
week was inspired by the ladies who went to Space
and how Gail King looked absolutely terrified the whole time.
So we discussed some of our fears. This is number four.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
We were talking about Gail King and we played her
audio this morning and she was terrified. You could see
it on her face as she was ringing the bell
and walking on to the ship. Okay, So we were
all sort of talking among ourselves this morning about like.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, what's your biggest fear? Right, So, what's your biggest
fear of?
Speaker 11 (07:36):
Bill?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I have a few, okay, just give us one, just one, Okay.
Well I have a fear of height.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Okay, that's legit.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A lot of people certain types of height, like I
can't stand on the rooftop and look over the edge.
That kind of height, I'm terrified out, okay, but I
have no problem flying. I have no you know, I
wouldn't have problems going up in the spaceship. But it's
a weird kind of a hyphear, okay, So that's mine.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
So if you're standing, you mean on a ledge, yeah,
looking down.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Well, I'll tell you a quick story.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And we were kids, we used to hop around and
jump roofs in the neighborhood. We climb rooftops, jump off,
go to another rooftop, and more often than not, everybody
would go and get down the other side, and I
would stay up there for like an hour or two,
afraid to come over the end. My brother would have
to come back up and help me down because of
my height.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, it's understandable. Want to know what mine is? Yes,
going on roller coaster rides.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
When you know, when you go to like a disney
and they put the harness a lot and it comes
down over you and then you hear it lock in.
I literally have panic attacks, like I feel sick to
my stomach.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I'm not a big fan of I can't do it
because what if it comes undone?
Speaker 10 (08:44):
No, it's what if you're stuck in it and then
something happens on the ride and you can't get out,
and it just my mind just starts to race. So
it has to do with like kostrophobi. I also hate
very small elevators. I will walk up ten flights of
stairs before I'll get into a time any little elevator
like they have in the back bay.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah about you, just I have tripophobia.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
Oh I hate that. Don't don't say it, please, I.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Can't talk about my feet giving me like. It's the
fear of clusters. So small holes are really a clusters
of anything.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Think of a honeycomb.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
But it could be not just holes, it could be
anything that's in clusters.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Does that make sense? Yes, no it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Okay, Billy. If I built pictures of this, you can out.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I can't pull it. I can't look at pictures. I
have the creeps right now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's that's so funny because that doesn't bother me at all.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh it gives me yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Wow, Oh god, Like even if I see things in life,
not not just holes, but anything that's splattered on the ground,
say it looks.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Like a cluster of little things. Oh my god, I can't.
I gotta stop talking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
But that's another one of mine. Fear of mess. I
hate mess, but Winnie, you have one.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Justin just like just ruining my dad right now?
Speaker 12 (10:00):
Is that yours? No?
Speaker 8 (10:01):
I mean I hate the look of it. If you
pull up the images you'll you'll feel the same way.
I think maybe just like death would be like my
biggest ones. Like you know, it's a fear of people
dying or myself, you know, people you love dying, like
that type of stuff.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
I just think it's it's pretty common.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I would assume, Hey, justin that cluster thing of yours,
back to the cluster, maybe that's where the term cluster
f came from.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
Oh maybe maybe could be.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, it really is creepy. I'd like, why don't you
google it on your phone? Don't show us fear of cluster.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's like what a honeycomb looks like.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yes, yes, but it's not. It's not limited to just
whole think.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Of like barnacles on a rock at the ocean, the
mall cluster too.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Okay, Okay, you know what it's My.
Speaker 12 (10:53):
Biggest fear is clowns. I am absolutely petrified of clowns.
Don't know what it is, something about the makeup. And
to this day, if I still see a clown at
a parade or at a circus or something, I am
turning the other way.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Well, it's from the movies, ye it is, you know,
all those crazy clown movies.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
The actual clowns, the people that make a living as clowns.
I'm not happy about how they are portrayed, right.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And the fact is a lot of very young children
are afraid when they see a clown, and I think
it is, like she says, it's the crazy makeup and everything.
They can't make it out because after.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
You get a couple of them, you get over it.
Speaker 12 (11:32):
All.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So you've heard some of our fears, but now we
want to hear from you. Hey, guys, it's producer Riley
from Billy and Lisa in the Morning, and let's keep
this conversation rolling with the number three moment fears.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Everyone has them.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
What are yours?
Speaker 12 (11:43):
Weird?
Speaker 11 (11:44):
Here?
Speaker 13 (11:44):
Maybe more of an anxiety is part of bodies and outhouses.
When I say outhouses, I'm thinking like at campgrounds that
don't have full plumbing or anything on that sort. I'm
always scared that there's going to be a snake or
something in it that's going to shoot up and invite me.
And then I just transferred over to porta potties as well.
(12:05):
I got a weird anxiety or whatever.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I'm in them.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I totally agree with her. I hate porta potties.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Billy says he's never used the pot I've never been
in his life.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Never.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Never do we believe that least why I.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Actually do believe him on this one.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Never been to an outdoor event.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
No, I don't know what's in that tank.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh, you don't want to look down, and you're like, okay,
he just got to be a better way to pee.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You can't look down, you just can't.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I was in one a couple of days ago my
son's baseball game, and yeah, you just don't look down.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
They haven't met like golf events.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
That's where I've used them, big golf because you're out,
you know, on the fifteenth hole, and there's no bathroom anywhere,
so you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Got to use it.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
So do you do?
Speaker 14 (12:45):
You?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You hover? Obviously?
Speaker 15 (12:47):
Me?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh yeah, oh god hover?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Oh you have to have in one?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
No, No, you like squat?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Yeah, imagine sitting?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Who would sit? Oh my god, Well, don't they have,
like the paper things you put down.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Yeah, the nice ones.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I may have, sad, I may o. You must have.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Really had to.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're a port body.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
It was either sit or having got down your leg right,
I know what I've done much worse.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 14 (13:18):
I have a super weird fear mineus eyelashes. When I
was a kid, I had a friend's sister who used
an eyelash curler and for some reason it was sticky
and she went to take it out and all of
her eyelashes stuck to it and came out.
Speaker 15 (13:33):
And ever since.
Speaker 14 (13:34):
Then, I have never liked eyelashes. I don't like the
I don't like them at all. I don't like putting
on mascara. Every time I see one come out, I
freak out.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I just hate it. Do they still exist?
Speaker 10 (13:45):
Okay, the eyelash curler does still exist, and I refuse
to use one.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
I use one every day.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It freaks me out. Oh really, Oh I'm terrified. Actually
I've never used it.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Well, yeah, i've never heard of.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Well, now you see that.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Yeah, I'll bring it in.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It looks like a little cake.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
You just put it right here and you clamp it down.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Oh, I've seen that.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
You see that story that men are now trimming their
eyelashes to look more manly.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Oh that's so annoying.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, they're trimming little scissors.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I love long eyelashes on.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Oh my god, when a guy has pretty long eyelash
so hot it is sod.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Yeah, I should a guy that he had the most beautiful, long,
curly eyelashes.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Billy, stop it.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I don't have them.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
No, my son Riley has beautiful eyelashes.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Okay, I guess, I guess. I guess you look less
manly if you have long eyelashes. That's what it. So
guys are cutting them?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Who's on the phone? What's long on?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
What's not? I don't know. It's it's on the coat.
Speaker 16 (14:44):
You're mad at me a little sister, And I suppose
it's the middle school teacher.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
I am peterrified of rubber bands.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
There bullets.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Yeah, actually, actually my son got in trouble this week
on the school bus because.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Of a rubber band. Why the kids love the yeah yeah, yes,
snapping sound. Yeah it's bad.
Speaker 17 (15:09):
I am riddled with FeAs as growing up. My mother
always saying I'd be afraid of my own shadow. Well
she was right, but one of my strangest fias is styrofoam.
I can't that noise just thinking about me makes me
feel like I'm going to go down for the count,
and not in a good way. I see something from
a big box, you know, a big box item, and
(15:30):
I know it's gonna be packed in styrofoam. I have
to have someone else do it, and if I have
to do it myself, I need to go lie down afterwards.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
That reminds you of nail nails on a chalkboard, which
gives gives you the he that's one of mine.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Think we don't really see chalkboards anymore, and yeah, markers
now it is whiteboards.
Speaker 15 (15:56):
I am absolutely terrified of bees and anything in that
category that flies have had a stinger. I am just
so afraid. I literally go into like a fight or
flight response.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
I hypervenally.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I have scream, I scream, I run away.
Speaker 15 (16:12):
It's so childish and everybody makes fun of.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Me for it, but it's literally such a fear.
Speaker 15 (16:17):
I wish I'd give hypnosis to like not be so
afraid of beests, but it's just it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, I think insects is a common one the all times. Yeah,
people are terrified of ants really. Yeah, yeah, I guess
so snakes too is a big one. Oh that's a
I mean, I don't like snakes, but I'm not afraid
of them.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Oh I'm terrified of snakes.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, don't. I don't get the people that can put
them around their neck and.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Yeah, I'm not going there.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
I held one one time at a birthday party and
the python. Yeah, I mean I was probably like eight,
and I had the pictures somewhere, and you know, they
have like twelve kids all hold you know the one thing.
It's just a texture of their skin kind of gives me.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The he So it's like a giant muscle.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
So I'm telling you, if that thing decides to squeeze you, yeah,
like really gone.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah. You ever see videos snakes eating things.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Swallow things whole, So they'll swallow a dog hole.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Do that?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
It's crazy.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
I think I might win the weird fear game because
I'm terrified of Hello, Kitty, of all the things in
the world to be afraid of, scares the heck out
of me.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
No no rhyme or reason for it, which is terrified.
It kind of does have a little creepy face.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Yeah, I have an ongoing animal thing.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Even though I love, love, love animals, You know me,
I have a theory that animals are come to get us.
They're gonna come take the land back. They're gonna just
one day, they're all gonna flip.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Well, it doesn't help that we have signed is wasting
their time recreating like dire will wolves and pterodactyls and
all that.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Yeah whatever, Like to me, like leave him in the past.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Now they're gonna take that.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Why would we bring them back?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, the we had that story the dire wolves. Yeah,
thirteen thousand years old. They brought them back. Have they
not seen Jurassic Park?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Just saying hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 17 (18:14):
I have a huge fear of sponges.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like to touch a sponge in someone else's home or like.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
In the break room at work, it's like a nightmare
for me.
Speaker 11 (18:23):
I cannot do it. It's so disgusting. I actually have
nightmares about sponges.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yeah, r incredible bacteria.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Yeah, justin it can go along with your trip of friend.
It has the.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Holes, the ones that I would have to don't have
the holes.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Or what do you have? The miracle sponge?
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's a yeah, it's a certain kind it's not it's
cloth not cloth, but it doesn't have all the.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Holes that on purpose because the actual sponge has the cluster.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Correct. I don't buy those. Imagine I walk right by.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's where all the bacteria hides.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
The trip of phobia is the fear of clusters of things,
mainly holes, but anything else.
Speaker 16 (18:57):
Justin if you tell me right now that you don't
like Nerd gummy clusters, I think I think I'm goen
I have to let you go when I have to
unfollow you on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
They just those are God's gift to Earth.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
They're amazing, especially the blue pack.
Speaker 16 (19:13):
Like I think I'm gonna have to freaking send a
pack of Nerd gummy clusters to the studio every day
until you get over the fear, because that's kind of
cluster I cannot cannot give up.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Okay, I've never had them. I don't know, I don't
know what they are. I'm gonna look them up.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, they're a little can no.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Hey, guys, welcome back to the Top five Moments of
the Week. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa and
the Morning. Thanks for joining us, and something that a
lot of people are using is buy now, pay later,
And if you don't know what that is, don't worry.
Neither did Billy. We'll explain it to you. This is
number two, buy now.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Pay later.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
After pay, you can break it up into four payments
without any interest.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Why not just use a credit card?
Speaker 10 (19:52):
Well, okay, millennials and gen zers are using this primarily
for things like concert tickets, so like going to Coachell
it which can be six, seven, eight hundred dollars, So
they're breaking it up into payment so that they can
go and have fun and enjoy it and then sort of,
you know, pay as you go.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
All right, Yeah, that she is the interest. Some of
them have interest, some of them don't. Some of them
go by your credit score. With Coachella, you're talking a
six hundred dollars ticket plus you can get a package
with food and stuff with only twenty dollars down. Sixty
percent of Coachella attendees this year did pay.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Late, right, which makes sense because.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
That's what's the downside.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Well, is that if you are late on your payment,
they'll start charging you interest.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Then basically the thing is they're going to get their money.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
Yeah, however way they do it, it's a slippery slope
to get into this sort of like situation. I've used
affirm and a firm does charge interest.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Affirm is another version of after paying.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
It's all bye out, get it now and you pay later.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, buy now, pay later.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
So my wife this is her toxic trait, that's what
she says. She does a firm for everything because it's
four payments, interest free.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Right.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
So she has a ton of stuff that she's paying
off and she has the money. That's the thing r
her toxic trade. It just feels better to not have
to pay all the money at once, right, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yea, Now is this something you sign up for? I
don't want to sound.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
If you go online and you a lot of retailers
now merchants are offering this as a way to pay.
So you could put your credit card in and then
a dropdown menu will show after pay or a firm
and you click on it which one you want, and
then you built a firm. You have to be approved
and then you could do it over two years, you
could do it over twelve months. You could do it,
(21:34):
but you're you know, you're going to pay more, you
know if you do it over three months or four months.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Wow, well that's like American Express. Initially you had to
pay when the bill came in the whole balance, and
then they started doing you know, payments.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
This is like the new version of the layaway plan basically, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It is.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
But they're doing it for vacations too, which can be
tricky because if you read the fine print, which most
people don't, if you have to cancel, you will not
get your money back, you know. So doing it for
concert tickets, you know, the economy, it's tough, you know,
it's it's tempting.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I almost do it all the time.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
You got to buy something and it's like you can
pay two hundred dollars right now or four payments of
fifty dollars.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
I've never done it because I don't trust myself.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Because you have to pay it in the four payments
or you're gonna get charge of all this interest.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
And it's like, I mean, it's worse than a credit
card the amount.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Of interesting, you know what I mean. Yeah, that's their benefit, right,
but the interest.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Now people are doing it for door dash, they're doing
it for concert tickets and doifications.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
So what's the great buying a meal yeah, on payments.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Yeah, So what's the craziest thing that you've decided is
worth after pay?
Speaker 9 (22:39):
Your credit card that you really don't need.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
You don't need a door dash, you don't need to
go to a concert, but you're like, no, I want
to go to me.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You can get out of control, very can.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And they're betting on you making a late payment because
then they've got you.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, they want you to pay late. Yes, and don't
forget the difference with the layaway plan. You didn't get
the item until you paid it off. They kept the
item and a lay awight plan. Right now you get
they get whatever you want. Coachella tickets, concert ticket.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
I just found something that after pay does not report
your payments to credit bureaus, So if you make one
time payments to after pay, it will not help build
or improve your credit score at all, nor will late
payments negatively impacted.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So they look neutral.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, it's more credit.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's just neutral.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah, Okay, after pay affirm, and I guess one probably
charges more interest and has more.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
Firm charges interests. They don't offer any non interest non
interest plans.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Well, for you, a billy, the reason you haven't done
is because you use your credit card.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You have a credit card.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
When you buy something, you put it on the credit
card and then you pay your credit card off.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Well, you know, their threshold for approval a lot lower,
so you know, the credit card you don't get approvedeople.
People that are using after pay and affirm and all
that can get credit, a lot of them do not
have the same credit limit or they're not you know.
So it's it's like, unfortunately, it's preying on people that
don't have the means to pay it back, which can
get dated messed up.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Jay Shetty sat down to talk to Billy and Lisa
this week. Hey guys, it's producer Riley from Billy and
Lisa in the Morning cutting down the top five moments
of the week. This is the number one moment, and
get ready because Jay Shetty is going to teach you
a thing or two.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Jay Shetty, good to have you on the show. This
is so cool.
Speaker 3 (24:16):

Speaker 5 (24:21):

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Million followers, and you finally made it to the Billi
and Lisa Morning Show.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
This officially puts you over the top.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Jay, I'm so great for to meet you both. Thanks
for having me.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, we're happy you're coming to Boston.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
So what can people expect, you know, with your on
purpose tour when you come to the Box Center, you're
saying there're going to be some surprise guests.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Yes, I'm so excited. I'm going to be bringing my
podcast for a live in person experience. I'll be interviewing
a very special guest for the audience. We'll be doing
a Q and A sessions and people can ask me questions,
the audience questions. I'll be leading all in the meditation
and so it's going to be a truly memorable evening
and I can't wait for people to come out.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Can you tell us who these surprise people might be?
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Jay, It might be coming out shortly, we may it's
definitely someone who's known for being in Boston. Let's say that.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Ah, But then again, if you told us it wouldn't
be a surprise guest anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
What ad Jake?
Speaker 11 (25:18):
Exactly exactly? But I promise it'll be worth it.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I got to tell you, Jay, there's so many people
I've told over the past week that Lisa and I
were going to be talking to Jay Sheddy they were overwhelmed.
Their immediate reaction was, oh my god, I love him
so much.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Oh I love that. That makes me so happy, and
send my love to them.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Please, I shall, I shall.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Now I'm looking at a long list of other major
celebrities that you've had on everybody from Kobe Bryant to
j low Will Smith, Selena Gomez, and Benny Blanco.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I thought was a wonderful, wonderful interview.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Jay, Oh, thank you so much. They're the best. It
was incredible to have such a beautiful conversation with both
of them, and it was amazing to see people all
over the internet talk about positive masculinity and healthy love.
And I think it's made everyone hopeful to find real
love again, which is beautiful. Jay.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You've been producing content for like ten years.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
You've been helping people navigate this crazy world that we
live in. Why do you think people are craving all
of these types of conversations.
Speaker 11 (26:19):
I think lives, just if we're honest's got harder for everyone.
It's difficult. It's challenging, whether that be work, whether it
be outside of work, whether it be family. I think
people have more stress in their lives. People are busier,
They have less help, and so I think it's a
time when people are really seeking. And I think also
at the same time, there's a great appetite for wanting
to build habits and improve their lives, and improve their sleep,
(26:41):
and improve the quality of their relationships, which, by the way,
I believe are all good things, because if we make
a difference when things are easy and things are a
bit better for us, then things become better for us
in the long term. So I think it's amazing that
people are opening up to all of these ideas, whether
it's through pop half books, live events, and everything else.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Jay, let me ask you this, these are crazy times
right now. We keep hearing the words seeing the word anxiety.
People are very anxious. They're very nervous between inflation and
tariffs and the cost of things for your house, for
your home, for your family. If we were in a
session right now and we were telling you we were anxious,
(27:24):
we were freaked out, what would you tell us?
Speaker 11 (27:26):
The first thing I'd say is that's normal, and that's natural.
It's not a weakness. It's normal right now to feel anxiety.
It's natural to feel anxiety. And I think we need
to stop feeling like there's something wrong with us. If
we feel it, we almost think there's some glitch or
there's some mistake we made, or that it's not meant
(27:46):
to happen. I think that's what's meant to happen. If
things are uncertain, we will feel anxiety. What I would
say is that in times of uncertainty, we often look
for certainty to feel stable. But instead of look for certainty,
we should look for service, look for opportunities to help
someone else, look for opportunities to make someone else's day.
(28:07):
Sometimes you'll relieve your anxiety quicker by trying to help
someone else than you will by trying to solve your own.
And so I think we will find a lot more
meaning and a lot more connection if we help others
more than even trying to solve our own anxiety.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
I know that you talk a lot about the practice
of meditation, and I keep telling Billy that he needs
to meditate, But why should we all be doing it?
Speaker 11 (28:30):
Well? I think it's because of what we just spoke about.
There's such a newfound, you know, origination of stress through
so many things, whether it's you wake up in the
morning and you spill your coffee or wait, you know,
you get to work and you're already fifteen minutes late
because of the traffic, or you get to a meeting
and you realize there's a task that's been incomplete. I
think there's so many moments in the day that creates
(28:52):
tr us So what we need is a practice that
helps us balance that out. We need a practice to
bring us back in feeling centered, and meditation does just that.
So what I often recommend to people is, if you're
feeling stressed, you're feeling like you're out of alignment today,
breed out for longer than you breathe in, so breed
in for accounter all and breed out for more than
(29:14):
four If you exhale for longer than you inhale, it
relaxes your body and mind. Again, when your breath gets
shallow and your breath gets quicker, you want to deepen
it and slow it down.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
That's what I've been doing wrong. I'm breathing in the.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Wrong direction, a shallow breather.
Speaker 16 (29:30):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
If you don't mind, I want to read a couple
of your quotes and have you elaborate on you.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
If you don't mind, I love this one.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more
expensive it is to get home.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Please elaborate.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Yes, I shared that the other day. It's not one
of mine. It's someone that I shared earlier this week.
But no, I love that quote. It's I think for
so many of us we feel we maybe got on
the wrong job, or for so many of us, we
feel we got into the wrong relationship. And I think
a lot of us scared of leaving something that feels
bad because we're scared of the unknown. But the reality is,
(30:06):
if we stay on that train for too long, if
we stay in that relationship for too long, on that
job for too long, it actually becomes harder to find
our way back. So it's never too late to quit.
It's never too late to pause, it's never too late
to stop. It's important to do that as soon as
you feel you can. So I try to encourage people
to not put this pressure on themselves to push something
(30:27):
or force something to work if it's not serving them.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Do you have a favorite book?
Speaker 10 (30:30):
I know you have two books out, but do you
have a favorite book that you always go back to?
Speaker 11 (30:34):
Oh that's a great question. One of my favorite books
of all time is probably Thinking Fast and Slow by
Daniel Kaman. It's a brilliant, brilliant book really breaks down
how the mind works, how the mind tricks us, how
our thoughts work. I love that book.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Jay, you spent three years as amongk you are meditating
eight hours a day, and then you realize there are
a lot of similarities between that world and the digital world.
Speaker 11 (31:01):
How so well I found the connection between what I
was learning, and I was thinking, wow, this would really
help people that I grew up with, and you know,
my generation and then every generation that's now living in
the digital world. I find that if you're living in
a constant digital landscape with a screen in front of you,
having practices and habits that allow you to detox and
(31:22):
disconnect or even more important. And so I'm grateful that
I've now been able to see the fruits of that labor,
because you know, just around ten years ago it was
just an idea, and now I've seen the impact of it.
It gives me even more confidence that these tools that
are thousands of years old are actually so practical and impactful.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
You're not still meditating eight hours a day, are you, Jane.
Speaker 11 (31:45):
Not even close, Not even close. It's nowhere near. I
don't think I could. I don't think I could hack
that with my schedule, but I do go back to
the monastery every January with my wife to do that.
So we do go back and start our year there,
which is one of our favorite things to do.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Every time your name comes up, Jay, everyone says, oh,
my God, I love him so much, But they also say, God,
he has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Do you hear how many times a day do you
hear that?
Speaker 11 (32:12):
I hear it often. I'm very grateful for it, but
I can't take any credit for them because I didn't
do anything for them. So it's one of those catch
twenty two situations where yeah, it's like, what do you
do when you didn't earn them or take credit for them? So, yeah,
I'm grateful.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
So they're not contacts.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Definitely, No, Definitely.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I am Jay. I know you're I know you're coming
to Boston. Have you been here much?
Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I have?
Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yeah, I actually performed at the Wane Theater I believe
two years ago as well, So I've been before. I've
told them before I've always loved coming to Boston and
excited to be there again soon.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
So how can people find you you're here May fifteenth.
Where should they go to get tickets?
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Yes, I'll be at the Wang States in May fifteenth.
Head to Jayshetty dot Me Forward slash Tour for to
get to Jay Shady Me Forward Slash Tour and the.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Waning Center Wayange Theater rather is a beautiful venue. As
you know, you've done it before, which is why you're
coming back and doing it again.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
We can't thank you enough for giving us the time.
I know you're really busy. Oh my god, fifty can
you give up a few of your followers send them
our way.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
I'm just fifty million, Jake.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
I love it. I love it. You guys are the best. No,
and I can't wait to see you the show.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Well, that's going to do it for the top five
moments of the week. Thanks for spending this hour with
me again. I'm producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in
the Morning. We've got a lot of stuff coming up
next week. We're still giving away that new Hyundai Santa
Fe and we've got a very special guest on Monday.
But stick around because we have the Kiss Top thirty
Countdown with Billy Costa and Justin coming up next Happy Easter,
(33:46):
have a good one guys.
It's the best billion Lisa in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Hey guys, good morning, it's producer Riley from Billy and
Lisa in the Morning. We're out on the top five
moments of the week, and let's get right into it.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
The number five moment.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You might know the name McCabe from Afternoons or just
because Billy never seems to get his name right, and
he got hit by a car and Billy gets all
the details out of him.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You know, when we wrap up the show every morning
here on the Billy and Lisa Morning Show. Up next,
I always say, is the mighty one, the mighty McCabe,
And I always make a joke that he's shuffling down
the hall right limping, he's got a hitch.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
So well, you also call him by the wrong name,
all right, don't forget.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
We've got more Usher tickets coming up with the mighty McQuinn.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Who is that? Yeah, so what are the odds?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
The mighty McCabe, who comes in at ten o'clock right
after USSA every day, is sitting in the studio right now,
and he walked in this morning.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
And that's what I say.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I talk about him shuffling down the hall with tiny
feet he got hit by a car into hit and run.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Yeah, and you weren't in a car.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
No, no, no, no, I was. I take the train
into work sometimes I take the Tea Love that Love
the Orange Line. But obviously I have to walk to
the train, and it's like a five minute walk, so
it's very.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Hard for me to get hit by a car.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
To be clear, I crossed the street like once, but
directly outside.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Of my house.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
I walk out into the into the Columbus ave and
beautiful boss, and this guy turns onto the street, I guess,
not looking, and just slams right into my butt in
the ass I got.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I got hit.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Exactly.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
But to be clear, to be clear, I'm fine.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Handsome, and he's so gay.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
What are the chances that it's the mayor of the
South End that hit me?
Speaker 5 (01:51):
No, I don't think they give him a license.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
I hope not ill Love mayor of South End. But no,
it was not. It's not that deep. I mean, and
he was. He did stop. He was like, I'm so sorry,
I didn't even see you, despite me being clearly in
the middle of the road, just like brush my butt,
and he actually ran over my backpack.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
So I gotta rip that what is wrong with you?
You're understating it.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
If I were you, I would have hit the ground
and rolled over and told nobody touched me until the
ambulance comes.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Played number I did. I got, I got info.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Everyone keeps being like this is such a good money
making opportunity.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I think you have to start to have like a
hurt neck.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
You know, you gotta wear a brace for the rest
of the way.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
I do think about you know how my body has
been affected by such an event.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Well, you know what you have to do right away.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
You have to call top dog law.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Wait, were you in a crosswalk?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Oh my god, my god, yes, Atmatic.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
It was really funny because I walked out with my neighbor,
who's a very nice guy. I turned around and he
like he like screeched. I've never heard him say words
when you knocked down? No, no, no, no, no no again.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Is your backpack okay.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
It's fine. Yeah, I haven't seen anything inside of it.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yes, don't say another word. You got to say. Their
laptop was destroyed.

That physical and mental.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Anguish, emotional too, yeaheah, I haven't had time to process.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Anytime you're hit, you hit the ground immediately. I don't
care if you would just brush and don't move until
medical teams arrived.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
I don't know if anybody I would assume when he
might think different. But I never think about the money
making opportunity in the accident, right, No.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right, because you're thinking about if you're.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Hurt, right, yeah, right, it was.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
It's actually really interesting because for a second theory, you're like,
wait a minute, was I actually hit by a car?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
A joke?
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Exactly, But yeah, I.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Had the same thing happened a few years ago. I
was at a car wash and the guy tapped my
ass with his bumper of his car. I had the
video I wanted. I wanted to see. It didn't really
work out. My uncles, the Laurier, he goes, you want
to have a case, and I'm like.
Speaker 9 (04:02):
He literally hit me.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
He tapped your body or the back of my.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
But no, my butt like with his car, Like I
go flying and you see me go for it. Yeah,
I did get hit the ass.

In the south end when he's South End.
Speaker 9 (04:16):
Stop it.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
I knew you as going to be such a natural.
This is great.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
So we need to delete this conversation for the West
Coast feed later today, I get rid of this.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
No, send this to top Dog.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
Because you got to turn this around.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Just say out of nowhere you suffered writhing pain after
you left the scene.
Speaker 10 (04:40):
And say bruising occurred to hit you in the ass.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Don't say.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Something else. You have to say you suddenly can't sleep
at night?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Oh yeah, men duress, Yeah, mindey the cane to Caine,

Speaker 8 (05:02):
Now, well, I'm all, seriously, are you okay that?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I mean no, I'm terrible. It's really bad.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
You're so bad at this cave. You should be like, no,
I'm really I'm really broken up about it.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You have to start carrying around bottles of painkillers and.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Everything, and everybody sees them.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Nobody seems to believe me.
Speaker 6 (05:24):

Speaker 4 (05:38):
In the cave.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
Just stop in traffic, you McCabe, stopping traffic, and everybody's
just enamored by your great looks and your little feet.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Just right, that's right.
Speaker 6 (05:52):
Everyone was so distracted by my little feet, which are
so normal sized.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
By the way, everybody knows you just saying it.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
But you are in a crosswalk.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
This is this guy should be Jayalen. I didn't stop traffic.
He kept basically kept going right after the crosswalk.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Is where you have your money maker. Yeah, you're always
in the right way when you're a crosswalk.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
It's insane, Like one second later or earlier.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
You got to get the surveillance tapes. Oh there's your
next move. You got to get all the local There
are a lot of local shops.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Right there in the section COmON Street.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, you got to get the surveillance tapes. That's what's
going to prove your case.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
Billy being so helpful to McCabe. Look at you, Bill,
you're a good guy. The second story last week, I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
The Ken microphone. No one ever knows when he's talking
in the Candon microphone. Don't be telling us how to
do our show.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
What was the last time you saw somebody knocking at
the door for a macab autograph?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
And I love McCabe. He's a nice guy, so helpful.
Now he's gonna get Hey.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Guys, Good morning, producer Riley from Billy and Lisa and
the Morning, continuing to count down the top five moments
of the week, and one of our topic times this
week was inspired by the ladies who went to Space
and how Gail King looked absolutely terrified the whole time.
So we discussed some of our fears. This is number four.
Speaker 10 (07:16):
We were talking about Gail King and we played her
audio this morning and she was terrified. You could see
it on her face as she was ringing the bell
and walking on to the ship. Okay, So we were
all sort of talking among ourselves this morning about like.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, what's your biggest fear? Right, So, what's your biggest
fear of?
Speaker 11 (07:36):
Bill?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I have a few, okay, just give us one, just one, Okay.
Well I have a fear of height.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Okay, that's legit.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A lot of people certain types of height, like I
can't stand on the rooftop and look over the edge.
That kind of height, I'm terrified out, okay, but I
have no problem flying. I have no you know, I
wouldn't have problems going up in the spaceship. But it's
a weird kind of a hyphear, okay, So that's mine.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
So if you're standing, you mean on a ledge, yeah,
looking down.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Well, I'll tell you a quick story.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And we were kids, we used to hop around and
jump roofs in the neighborhood. We climb rooftops, jump off,
go to another rooftop, and more often than not, everybody
would go and get down the other side, and I
would stay up there for like an hour or two,
afraid to come over the end. My brother would have
to come back up and help me down because of
my height.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Well, it's understandable. Want to know what mine is? Yes,
going on roller coaster rides.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
When you know, when you go to like a disney
and they put the harness a lot and it comes
down over you and then you hear it lock in.
I literally have panic attacks, like I feel sick to
my stomach.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I'm not a big fan of I can't do it
because what if it comes undone?
Speaker 10 (08:44):
No, it's what if you're stuck in it and then
something happens on the ride and you can't get out,
and it just my mind just starts to race. So
it has to do with like kostrophobi. I also hate
very small elevators. I will walk up ten flights of
stairs before I'll get into a time any little elevator
like they have in the back bay.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yeah about you, just I have tripophobia.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
Oh I hate that. Don't don't say it, please, I.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Can't talk about my feet giving me like. It's the
fear of clusters. So small holes are really a clusters
of anything.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Think of a honeycomb.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
But it could be not just holes, it could be
anything that's in clusters.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Does that make sense? Yes, no it doesn't.
Speaker 9 (09:28):
Okay, Billy. If I built pictures of this, you can out.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
I can't pull it. I can't look at pictures. I
have the creeps right now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's that's so funny because that doesn't bother me at all.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Oh it gives me yeah.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Wow, Oh god, Like even if I see things in life,
not not just holes, but anything that's splattered on the ground,
say it looks.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Like a cluster of little things. Oh my god, I can't.
I gotta stop talking about it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
But that's another one of mine. Fear of mess. I
hate mess, but Winnie, you have one.
Speaker 9 (09:56):
Justin just like just ruining my dad right now?
Speaker 12 (10:00):
Is that yours? No?
Speaker 8 (10:01):
I mean I hate the look of it. If you
pull up the images you'll you'll feel the same way.
I think maybe just like death would be like my
biggest ones. Like you know, it's a fear of people
dying or myself, you know, people you love dying, like
that type of stuff.
Speaker 9 (10:15):
I just think it's it's pretty common.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I would assume, Hey, justin that cluster thing of yours,
back to the cluster, maybe that's where the term cluster
f came from.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
Oh maybe maybe could be.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, it really is creepy. I'd like, why don't you
google it on your phone? Don't show us fear of cluster.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's like what a honeycomb looks like.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Yes, yes, but it's not. It's not limited to just
whole think.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
Of like barnacles on a rock at the ocean, the
mall cluster too.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I do too.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Okay, Okay, you know what it's My.
Speaker 12 (10:53):
Biggest fear is clowns. I am absolutely petrified of clowns.
Don't know what it is, something about the makeup. And
to this day, if I still see a clown at
a parade or at a circus or something, I am
turning the other way.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Well, it's from the movies, ye it is, you know,
all those crazy clown movies.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
The actual clowns, the people that make a living as clowns.
I'm not happy about how they are portrayed, right.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
And the fact is a lot of very young children
are afraid when they see a clown, and I think
it is, like she says, it's the crazy makeup and everything.
They can't make it out because after.
Speaker 9 (11:29):
You get a couple of them, you get over it.
Speaker 12 (11:32):
All.
Speaker 11 (11:32):
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
So you've heard some of our fears, but now we
want to hear from you. Hey, guys, it's producer Riley
from Billy and Lisa in the Morning, and let's keep
this conversation rolling with the number three moment fears.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Everyone has them.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
What are yours?
Speaker 12 (11:43):
Weird?
Speaker 11 (11:44):
Here?
Speaker 13 (11:44):
Maybe more of an anxiety is part of bodies and outhouses.
When I say outhouses, I'm thinking like at campgrounds that
don't have full plumbing or anything on that sort. I'm
always scared that there's going to be a snake or
something in it that's going to shoot up and invite me.
And then I just transferred over to porta potties as well.
(12:05):
I got a weird anxiety or whatever.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
I'm in them.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I totally agree with her. I hate porta potties.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Billy says he's never used the pot I've never been
in his life.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Never.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Never do we believe that least why I.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Actually do believe him on this one.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Never been to an outdoor event.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
No, I don't know what's in that tank.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh, you don't want to look down, and you're like, okay,
he just got to be a better way to pee.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You can't look down, you just can't.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I was in one a couple of days ago my
son's baseball game, and yeah, you just don't look down.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
They haven't met like golf events.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
That's where I've used them, big golf because you're out,
you know, on the fifteenth hole, and there's no bathroom anywhere,
so you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Got to use it.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
So do you do?
Speaker 14 (12:45):
You?
Speaker 4 (12:46):
You hover? Obviously?
Speaker 15 (12:47):
Me?
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh yeah, oh god hover?
Speaker 5 (12:50):
Oh you have to have in one?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
No, No, you like squat?
Speaker 5 (12:55):
Yeah, imagine sitting?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Who would sit? Oh my god, Well, don't they have,
like the paper things you put down.
Speaker 9 (13:03):
Yeah, the nice ones.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
I may have, sad, I may o. You must have.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Really had to.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
You're a port body.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
It was either sit or having got down your leg right,
I know what I've done much worse.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Good morning.
Speaker 14 (13:18):
I have a super weird fear mineus eyelashes. When I
was a kid, I had a friend's sister who used
an eyelash curler and for some reason it was sticky
and she went to take it out and all of
her eyelashes stuck to it and came out.
Speaker 15 (13:33):
And ever since.
Speaker 14 (13:34):
Then, I have never liked eyelashes. I don't like the
I don't like them at all. I don't like putting
on mascara. Every time I see one come out, I
freak out.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I just hate it. Do they still exist?
Speaker 10 (13:45):
Okay, the eyelash curler does still exist, and I refuse
to use one.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
I use one every day.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
It freaks me out. Oh really, Oh I'm terrified. Actually
I've never used it.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Well, yeah, i've never heard of.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Well, now you see that.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
Yeah, I'll bring it in.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
It looks like a little cake.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
You just put it right here and you clamp it down.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Oh, I've seen that.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
You see that story that men are now trimming their
eyelashes to look more manly.
Speaker 9 (14:10):
Oh that's so annoying.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, they're trimming little scissors.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I love long eyelashes on.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Oh my god, when a guy has pretty long eyelash
so hot it is sod.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Yeah, I should a guy that he had the most beautiful, long,
curly eyelashes.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Billy, stop it.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
I don't have them.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
No, my son Riley has beautiful eyelashes.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Okay, I guess, I guess. I guess you look less
manly if you have long eyelashes. That's what it. So
guys are cutting them?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Who's on the phone? What's long on?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
What's not? I don't know. It's it's on the coat.
Speaker 16 (14:44):
You're mad at me a little sister, And I suppose
it's the middle school teacher.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
I am peterrified of rubber bands.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
There bullets.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Yeah, actually, actually my son got in trouble this week
on the school bus because.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Of a rubber band. Why the kids love the yeah yeah, yes,
snapping sound. Yeah it's bad.
Speaker 17 (15:09):
I am riddled with FeAs as growing up. My mother
always saying I'd be afraid of my own shadow. Well
she was right, but one of my strangest fias is styrofoam.
I can't that noise just thinking about me makes me
feel like I'm going to go down for the count,
and not in a good way. I see something from
a big box, you know, a big box item, and
(15:30):
I know it's gonna be packed in styrofoam. I have
to have someone else do it, and if I have
to do it myself, I need to go lie down afterwards.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
That reminds you of nail nails on a chalkboard, which
gives gives you the he that's one of mine.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Think we don't really see chalkboards anymore, and yeah, markers
now it is whiteboards.
Speaker 15 (15:56):
I am absolutely terrified of bees and anything in that
category that flies have had a stinger. I am just
so afraid. I literally go into like a fight or
flight response.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
I hypervenally.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I have scream, I scream, I run away.
Speaker 15 (16:12):
It's so childish and everybody makes fun of.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Me for it, but it's literally such a fear.
Speaker 15 (16:17):
I wish I'd give hypnosis to like not be so
afraid of beests, but it's just it's so bad.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, I think insects is a common one the all times. Yeah,
people are terrified of ants really. Yeah, yeah, I guess
so snakes too is a big one. Oh that's a
I mean, I don't like snakes, but I'm not afraid
of them.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Oh I'm terrified of snakes.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, don't. I don't get the people that can put
them around their neck and.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Yeah, I'm not going there.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
I held one one time at a birthday party and
the python. Yeah, I mean I was probably like eight,
and I had the pictures somewhere, and you know, they
have like twelve kids all hold you know the one thing.
It's just a texture of their skin kind of gives me.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The he So it's like a giant muscle.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
So I'm telling you, if that thing decides to squeeze you, yeah,
like really gone.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Yeah. You ever see videos snakes eating things.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Swallow things whole, So they'll swallow a dog hole.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Do that?
Speaker 4 (17:19):
It's crazy.
Speaker 13 (17:20):
I think I might win the weird fear game because
I'm terrified of Hello, Kitty, of all the things in
the world to be afraid of, scares the heck out
of me.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
No no rhyme or reason for it, which is terrified.
It kind of does have a little creepy face.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Yeah, I have an ongoing animal thing.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Even though I love, love, love animals, You know me,
I have a theory that animals are come to get us.
They're gonna come take the land back. They're gonna just
one day, they're all gonna flip.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Well, it doesn't help that we have signed is wasting
their time recreating like dire will wolves and pterodactyls and
all that.
Speaker 9 (17:55):
Yeah whatever, Like to me, like leave him in the past.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Now they're gonna take that.
Speaker 9 (18:00):
Why would we bring them back?
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Yeah, the we had that story the dire wolves. Yeah,
thirteen thousand years old. They brought them back. Have they
not seen Jurassic Park?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Just saying hey, good morning guys.
Speaker 17 (18:14):
I have a huge fear of sponges.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like to touch a sponge in someone else's home or like.
Speaker 14 (18:19):
In the break room at work, it's like a nightmare
for me.
Speaker 11 (18:23):
I cannot do it. It's so disgusting. I actually have
nightmares about sponges.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yeah, r incredible bacteria.
Speaker 9 (18:30):
Yeah, justin it can go along with your trip of friend.
It has the.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Holes, the ones that I would have to don't have
the holes.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Or what do you have? The miracle sponge?
Speaker 7 (18:38):
It's a yeah, it's a certain kind it's not it's
cloth not cloth, but it doesn't have all the.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Holes that on purpose because the actual sponge has the cluster.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Correct. I don't buy those. Imagine I walk right by.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
That's where all the bacteria hides.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
The trip of phobia is the fear of clusters of things,
mainly holes, but anything else.
Speaker 16 (18:57):
Justin if you tell me right now that you don't
like Nerd gummy clusters, I think I think I'm goen
I have to let you go when I have to
unfollow you on Instagram.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
They just those are God's gift to Earth.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
They're amazing, especially the blue pack.
Speaker 16 (19:13):
Like I think I'm gonna have to freaking send a
pack of Nerd gummy clusters to the studio every day
until you get over the fear, because that's kind of
cluster I cannot cannot give up.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Okay, I've never had them. I don't know, I don't
know what they are. I'm gonna look them up.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, they're a little can no.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Hey, guys, welcome back to the Top five Moments of
the Week. It's producer Riley from Billy and Lisa and
the Morning. Thanks for joining us, and something that a
lot of people are using is buy now, pay later,
And if you don't know what that is, don't worry.
Neither did Billy. We'll explain it to you. This is
number two, buy now.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Pay later.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
After pay, you can break it up into four payments
without any interest.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Why not just use a credit card?
Speaker 10 (19:52):
Well, okay, millennials and gen zers are using this primarily
for things like concert tickets, so like going to Coachell
it which can be six, seven, eight hundred dollars, So
they're breaking it up into payment so that they can
go and have fun and enjoy it and then sort of,
you know, pay as you go.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
All right, Yeah, that she is the interest. Some of
them have interest, some of them don't. Some of them
go by your credit score. With Coachella, you're talking a
six hundred dollars ticket plus you can get a package
with food and stuff with only twenty dollars down. Sixty
percent of Coachella attendees this year did pay.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Late, right, which makes sense because.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
That's what's the downside.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Well, is that if you are late on your payment,
they'll start charging you interest.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Then basically the thing is they're going to get their money.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
Yeah, however way they do it, it's a slippery slope
to get into this sort of like situation. I've used
affirm and a firm does charge interest.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
Now.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Affirm is another version of after paying.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
It's all bye out, get it now and you pay later.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Yeah, buy now, pay later.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:51):
So my wife this is her toxic trait, that's what
she says. She does a firm for everything because it's
four payments, interest free.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
Right.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
So she has a ton of stuff that she's paying
off and she has the money. That's the thing r
her toxic trade. It just feels better to not have
to pay all the money at once, right, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Yea, Now is this something you sign up for? I
don't want to sound.
Speaker 10 (21:13):
If you go online and you a lot of retailers
now merchants are offering this as a way to pay.
So you could put your credit card in and then
a dropdown menu will show after pay or a firm
and you click on it which one you want, and
then you built a firm. You have to be approved
and then you could do it over two years, you
could do it over twelve months. You could do it,
(21:34):
but you're you know, you're going to pay more, you
know if you do it over three months or four months.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Wow, well that's like American Express. Initially you had to
pay when the bill came in the whole balance, and
then they started doing you know, payments.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
This is like the new version of the layaway plan basically, yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
It is.
Speaker 7 (21:51):
But they're doing it for vacations too, which can be
tricky because if you read the fine print, which most
people don't, if you have to cancel, you will not
get your money back, you know. So doing it for
concert tickets, you know, the economy, it's tough, you know,
it's it's tempting.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
I almost do it all the time.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
You got to buy something and it's like you can
pay two hundred dollars right now or four payments of
fifty dollars.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
I've never done it because I don't trust myself.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
Because you have to pay it in the four payments
or you're gonna get charge of all this interest.
Speaker 9 (22:21):
And it's like, I mean, it's worse than a credit
card the amount.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Of interesting, you know what I mean. Yeah, that's their benefit, right,
but the interest.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Now people are doing it for door dash, they're doing
it for concert tickets and doifications.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
So what's the great buying a meal yeah, on payments.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
Yeah, So what's the craziest thing that you've decided is
worth after pay?
Speaker 9 (22:39):
Your credit card that you really don't need.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
You don't need a door dash, you don't need to
go to a concert, but you're like, no, I want
to go to me.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
You can get out of control, very can.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And they're betting on you making a late payment because
then they've got you.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah, they want you to pay late. Yes, and don't
forget the difference with the layaway plan. You didn't get
the item until you paid it off. They kept the
item and a lay awight plan. Right now you get
they get whatever you want. Coachella tickets, concert ticket.
Speaker 10 (23:04):
I just found something that after pay does not report
your payments to credit bureaus, So if you make one
time payments to after pay, it will not help build
or improve your credit score at all, nor will late
payments negatively impacted.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So they look neutral.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Yeah, it's more credit.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
It's just neutral.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Yeah, Okay, after pay affirm, and I guess one probably
charges more interest and has more.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
Firm charges interests. They don't offer any non interest non
interest plans.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Well, for you, a billy, the reason you haven't done
is because you use your credit card.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
You have a credit card.
Speaker 7 (23:38):
When you buy something, you put it on the credit
card and then you pay your credit card off.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Well, you know, their threshold for approval a lot lower,
so you know, the credit card you don't get approvedeople.
People that are using after pay and affirm and all
that can get credit, a lot of them do not
have the same credit limit or they're not you know.
So it's it's like, unfortunately, it's preying on people that
don't have the means to pay it back, which can
get dated messed up.
Speaker 2 (24:01):

Million followers, and you finally made it to the Billi

Speaker 5 (24:29):
This officially puts you over the top.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Jay, I'm so great for to meet you both. Thanks
for having me.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Well, we're happy you're coming to Boston.
Speaker 10 (24:36):
So what can people expect, you know, with your on
purpose tour when you come to the Box Center, you're
saying there're going to be some surprise guests.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Yes, I'm so excited. I'm going to be bringing my
podcast for a live in person experience. I'll be interviewing
a very special guest for the audience. We'll be doing
a Q and A sessions and people can ask me questions,
the audience questions. I'll be leading all in the meditation
and so it's going to be a truly memorable evening
and I can't wait for people to come out.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Can you tell us who these surprise people might be?
Speaker 11 (25:07):
Jay, It might be coming out shortly, we may it's
definitely someone who's known for being in Boston. Let's say that.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Ah, But then again, if you told us it wouldn't
be a surprise guest anymore.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
What ad Jake?
Speaker 11 (25:18):
Exactly exactly? But I promise it'll be worth it.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I got to tell you, Jay, there's so many people
I've told over the past week that Lisa and I
were going to be talking to Jay Sheddy they were overwhelmed.
Their immediate reaction was, oh my god, I love him
so much.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Oh I love that. That makes me so happy, and
send my love to them.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Please, I shall, I shall.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Now I'm looking at a long list of other major
celebrities that you've had on everybody from Kobe Bryant to
j low Will Smith, Selena Gomez, and Benny Blanco.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
I thought was a wonderful, wonderful interview.
Speaker 11 (25:50):
Jay, Oh, thank you so much. They're the best. It
was incredible to have such a beautiful conversation with both
of them, and it was amazing to see people all
over the internet talk about positive masculinity and healthy love.
And I think it's made everyone hopeful to find real
love again, which is beautiful. Jay.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You've been producing content for like ten years.
Speaker 10 (26:12):
You've been helping people navigate this crazy world that we
live in. Why do you think people are craving all
of these types of conversations.
Speaker 11 (26:19):
I think lives, just if we're honest's got harder for everyone.
It's difficult. It's challenging, whether that be work, whether it
be outside of work, whether it be family. I think
people have more stress in their lives. People are busier,
They have less help, and so I think it's a
time when people are really seeking. And I think also
at the same time, there's a great appetite for wanting
to build habits and improve their lives, and improve their sleep,
(26:41):
and improve the quality of their relationships, which, by the way,
I believe are all good things, because if we make
a difference when things are easy and things are a
bit better for us, then things become better for us
in the long term. So I think it's amazing that
people are opening up to all of these ideas, whether
it's through pop half books, live events, and everything else.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Jay, let me ask you this, these are crazy times
right now. We keep hearing the words seeing the word anxiety.
People are very anxious. They're very nervous between inflation and
tariffs and the cost of things for your house, for
your home, for your family. If we were in a
session right now and we were telling you we were anxious,
(27:24):
we were freaked out, what would you tell us?
Speaker 11 (27:26):
The first thing I'd say is that's normal, and that's natural.
It's not a weakness. It's normal right now to feel anxiety.
It's natural to feel anxiety. And I think we need
to stop feeling like there's something wrong with us. If
we feel it, we almost think there's some glitch or
there's some mistake we made, or that it's not meant
(27:46):
to happen. I think that's what's meant to happen. If
things are uncertain, we will feel anxiety. What I would
say is that in times of uncertainty, we often look
for certainty to feel stable. But instead of look for certainty,
we should look for service, look for opportunities to help
someone else, look for opportunities to make someone else's day.
(28:07):
Sometimes you'll relieve your anxiety quicker by trying to help
someone else than you will by trying to solve your own.
And so I think we will find a lot more
meaning and a lot more connection if we help others
more than even trying to solve our own anxiety.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
I know that you talk a lot about the practice
of meditation, and I keep telling Billy that he needs
to meditate, But why should we all be doing it?
Speaker 11 (28:30):
Well? I think it's because of what we just spoke about.
There's such a newfound, you know, origination of stress through
so many things, whether it's you wake up in the
morning and you spill your coffee or wait, you know,
you get to work and you're already fifteen minutes late
because of the traffic, or you get to a meeting
and you realize there's a task that's been incomplete. I
think there's so many moments in the day that creates
(28:52):
tr us So what we need is a practice that
helps us balance that out. We need a practice to
bring us back in feeling centered, and meditation does just that.
So what I often recommend to people is, if you're
feeling stressed, you're feeling like you're out of alignment today,
breed out for longer than you breathe in, so breed
in for accounter all and breed out for more than
(29:14):
four If you exhale for longer than you inhale, it
relaxes your body and mind. Again, when your breath gets
shallow and your breath gets quicker, you want to deepen
it and slow it down.
Speaker 5 (29:24):
That's what I've been doing wrong. I'm breathing in the.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Wrong direction, a shallow breather.
Speaker 16 (29:30):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
If you don't mind, I want to read a couple
of your quotes and have you elaborate on you.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
If you don't mind, I love this one.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more
expensive it is to get home.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Please elaborate.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Yes, I shared that the other day. It's not one
of mine. It's someone that I shared earlier this week.
But no, I love that quote. It's I think for
so many of us we feel we maybe got on
the wrong job, or for so many of us, we
feel we got into the wrong relationship. And I think
a lot of us scared of leaving something that feels
bad because we're scared of the unknown. But the reality is,
(30:06):
if we stay on that train for too long, if
we stay in that relationship for too long, on that
job for too long, it actually becomes harder to find
our way back. So it's never too late to quit.
It's never too late to pause, it's never too late
to stop. It's important to do that as soon as
you feel you can. So I try to encourage people
to not put this pressure on themselves to push something
(30:27):
or force something to work if it's not serving them.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Do you have a favorite book?
Speaker 10 (30:30):
I know you have two books out, but do you
have a favorite book that you always go back to?
Speaker 11 (30:34):
Oh that's a great question. One of my favorite books
of all time is probably Thinking Fast and Slow by
Daniel Kaman. It's a brilliant, brilliant book really breaks down
how the mind works, how the mind tricks us, how
our thoughts work. I love that book.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Jay, you spent three years as amongk you are meditating
eight hours a day, and then you realize there are
a lot of similarities between that world and the digital world.
Speaker 11 (31:01):
How so well I found the connection between what I
was learning, and I was thinking, wow, this would really
help people that I grew up with, and you know,
my generation and then every generation that's now living in
the digital world. I find that if you're living in
a constant digital landscape with a screen in front of you,
having practices and habits that allow you to detox and
(31:22):
disconnect or even more important. And so I'm grateful that
I've now been able to see the fruits of that labor,
because you know, just around ten years ago it was
just an idea, and now I've seen the impact of it.
It gives me even more confidence that these tools that
are thousands of years old are actually so practical and impactful.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
You're not still meditating eight hours a day, are you, Jane.
Speaker 11 (31:45):
Not even close, Not even close. It's nowhere near. I
don't think I could. I don't think I could hack
that with my schedule, but I do go back to
the monastery every January with my wife to do that.
So we do go back and start our year there,
which is one of our favorite things to do.
Speaker 10 (32:01):
Every time your name comes up, Jay, everyone says, oh,
my God, I love him so much, But they also say, God,
he has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Do you hear how many times a day do you
hear that?
Speaker 11 (32:12):
I hear it often. I'm very grateful for it, but
I can't take any credit for them because I didn't
do anything for them. So it's one of those catch
twenty two situations where yeah, it's like, what do you
do when you didn't earn them or take credit for them? So, yeah,
I'm grateful.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
So they're not contacts.
Speaker 11 (32:30):
Definitely, No, Definitely.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I am Jay. I know you're I know you're coming
to Boston. Have you been here much?
Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
I have?
Speaker 11 (32:41):
Yeah, I actually performed at the Wane Theater I believe
two years ago as well, So I've been before. I've
told them before I've always loved coming to Boston and
excited to be there again soon.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
So how can people find you you're here May fifteenth.
Where should they go to get tickets?
Speaker 11 (32:55):
Yes, I'll be at the Wang States in May fifteenth.
Head to Jayshetty dot Me Forward slash Tour for to
get to Jay Shady Me Forward Slash Tour and the.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Waning Center Wayange Theater rather is a beautiful venue. As
you know, you've done it before, which is why you're
coming back and doing it again.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Jay.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
We can't thank you enough for giving us the time.
I know you're really busy. Oh my god, fifty can
you give up a few of your followers send them
our way.
Speaker 5 (33:19):
I'm just fifty million, Jake.
Speaker 11 (33:21):
I love it. I love it. You guys are the best. No,
and I can't wait to see you the show.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Well, that's going to do it for the top five
moments of the week. Thanks for spending this hour with
me again. I'm producer Riley from Billy and Lisa in
the Morning. We've got a lot of stuff coming up
next week. We're still giving away that new Hyundai Santa
Fe and we've got a very special guest on Monday.
