Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's just a great start to my day on Kids Runaway.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Well, good morning everybody, and a happy Monday to you.
Here we go, start of another weekend.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
We're getting more.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Rain, yes, and it's cold. It's not even a warm rain.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
It's really unbelievab.

Speaker 5 (00:21):
Actually have a winter coat on today. I took it
out of the closet because I was freezing this morning.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yesterday was weird. It was kind of cool and cold
and foggy and oh god, and then Saturday was basically
a wash.

Speaker 6 (00:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Then I'm told that we'll probably get more rain this weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
That means fourteen weekends in a row.

Speaker 7 (00:40):
Right, Yes, is Bill eating?

Speaker 8 (00:43):
He is?

Speaker 5 (00:43):
He's having some pistachios right out of the shell.

Speaker 7 (00:47):
Are you giving him food at the start of the show.

Speaker 9 (00:50):
Okay, this was like thirty forty seconds ago. I have pistachios.
I was having a couple. He's like, oh, those pistaschios.
I'm like, yeah, sure, yeah, you want some? So I
hand him a handful. I know you have the shells on,
and I go, oh, well, it's not in the budget
to buy the de shelled ones. I'd buy the shell
ones and cracking myself, so then I was physically cracking
one for him and passing him a pistache at a time.

Speaker 7 (01:10):
All right, Bill, take the nuts out of your mouth.
How you're doing?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
They're out? All Rightah finally, But here's the thing I
just discovered. When the pistache shows are still in the shells,
they taste much better.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well they are.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
They taste fresher, but also you'll eat less because you
have to shell them yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
A lot of protein, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Ye, good for you. They're a good nut.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Anyway, here we go another week, and by the way,
the best summer ever continues. You still want to be
listening on the iHeart app and when you hear a
song by the weekend, you send us a talk back

the hatred winning, we did not know.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
I love vegan. I don't mean it like that. I'm
just saying like, but it really didn't sound like.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
There are limited options.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
Sometimes when you ask a vegan, they'll give you one
hundred recipes that taste amazing.

Speaker 9 (17:59):
Yeah, so they're going to start on the talkbacks. I'll
tell you they taste. How many ways can you have
beans and tofu? Some of these vegan restaurants are actually
pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's pretty good morning.

Speaker 15 (18:13):
Fresh back from the Belmont Steaks and Saratoga and wanted
to share what a great time we had. I had
my hat moment. It was fabulous. Even in the rain.
Nothing was going to stop that. We went out to
dinner to this restaurant called Salavo, and our tab was
picked up by a stranger said, our bartender did some
research and it was the gentleman that owns Resolute Racing.

(18:36):
He also hooked up Dave Portnoy, and we just wanted
to say thank you.

Speaker 9 (18:40):
It's amazing that happened to my brother when he went
to Saratoga. One of the owners of the horse that
whoever the horse won, he paid for the whole restaurant.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I love that I took care of the whole bill.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
That's a good tradition.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
I want to go someday. It sounds like a lot
of fun, doesn't it. The Derby, the Belmont Steaks, the hats,
the giant hats, pick up the tab never hurts, Yeah,
never hurts. Yeah.

It was called Straw.

Speaker 8 (19:09):

you a message. But I had called in on Friday
in memory of my dog Edna, who after sixteen years, we.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Had to put to sleep last week.

Speaker 8 (20:32):
And you know, I was looking for a sign from
Edna that she was okay, because I was so heartbroken,
and I thought, well, if I hear this on the radio,
maybe I'll know she's okay.

Speaker 16 (20:42):
So thanks so much for doing that for me, justin
I love you, God bless you.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Thank you a million.

Speaker 7 (20:48):
Well that's all of us, it's the whole team and
the talk bet Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
You know it's so hard, so hard.

Speaker 10 (20:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
When you lose an animal, you lose so hard.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, so hard.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
Yeah rip to Edna. Yeah, but that's what the talkbacks
are there for. To have some fun. And you know what,
if you need to have a memory or anything, it's
a beautiful things.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Okay, So we want to talk about summer jobs. And
I don't care who you are, where you live, where
you grew up. We've all got summer job stories, especially
from our youth. And a Lisa, I'm going to start
with you. I know you had the bakery.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah that was later in life.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
But when I was in high school, I cleaned condos
in the Poconos and I have to tell you that
was the worst summer job I've ever.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Had in my entire life.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
You see the underbelly of society when you go in
and clean a condo from someone spending the weekend.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
What's the grossest thing you saw?

Speaker 5 (21:47):
I saw a bathroom that was just covered in baby powder. Oh,
it was like something exploded in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I wonder if Jiddy was there before.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Next level.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
It was so gross and I had to clean up
the whole bathroom.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
It was just disgusting.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
People leave hotel rooms and condos in such poor condition.
So after that, I never I always clean up all
my stuff. I always put all the towels in one area.
Me too, Yeah, I just like out of respect.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
But I guess. There's a survey of sorts this morning
that talks about crazy summer job.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Actually, no, this is actually there is a city close
to us that has the best summer job report.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
It's the hot spot and it's Portland, Maine.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
The most summer exploment opportunities.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
Are in no way Portland Maine. Yeahlin you go up
there for.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
So if you're looking for a summer job, folks, yeow.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
I will say Portland, Maine is really a great city
and there's a lot going on. I mean, they've got
great restaurants, the ocean, the beach, everything is really really nuts.
It's a nice place.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
But again, if you're staying in a hotel and someone
has a summer job cleaning your room.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Just be respectful.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
Yeah. I always think about the people that clean hotel
or hot hotel rooms. They must have the craziest stories.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yes, the thing stuff that, yeah, stuff left behind.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah. And you know what, if somebody's listening in works
in hotels and you have crazy stories, we'll take those.
But we're talking about summer jobs. Now I have two
to choose from. I'll just talk about the one that
almost took my life. So when I was just it
was I was between prep school and college, so it

(23:31):
was the summer after prep school and the summer before
going to Merrimack. And I took a job. And it
was a hard job to get. I had to use
a family connection. And it was in a steel manufacturing
plant in Cambridge. It was a national company, was called
Industrial Steel. So the job I had, like I couldn't

(23:52):
believe they put me on this job. You know, it
was all union guys. They spent their entire life in
this plant. I'm there for one hour and they put
me on this machine. If you can imagine, it was
a giant drill press. So picture a power drill times
four hundred. Okay, this thing was taller than me. It

(24:14):
was big. And the bit for the drill was like,
you know, five inches wide, and I had a drill
holes in these sheets of steel, right, so, and you
had to wear gloves. So I'm pressing the drill pit
down and as I'm going through the steel plate, all
the little particles of steel are kind of scattering around

(24:34):
and me being OCD.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Boy start Is that a trigger for you?

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:41):
I started brushing away the parnicles, and in the process,
my glove, my hand, Oh my god, got caught on
the bit and it started pulling me around. I grabbed
my hand and now the glove is stuck in the
bit and it's pulling my arm around in a Circle's
my left arm. Actually, it's pulling me around, and it

(25:01):
was gonna take me completely. It was gonna tear my
arm off my body. And I don't know, like a miracle,
I remember, and I think and again I just started there.
I think there's a power switch right over my head.
So I'm like about to lose my arm because it's
still pulling on my arm in the tent, and I
hit the power switch and luckily I hit the right

(25:21):
button and it stopped. But I had to be taken
to the hospital and uh, I had tendon damage in
my arm and never I never even I was so
freaked out. I never even went back to get my check.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Wow, you could have been a one armed man.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
Oh total more than you know. M Yeah, no, none,
just to stump there like, yeah, prosthetics, No you have No.
I had nightmares for years.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
I'm you still don't have nightmares?

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (25:51):
I made do occasionally, but that's one of mine.

Speaker 7 (25:54):
Be cool if you got one of those, you know,
robot arms, oh you know with the claw the clawent,
that would be awesome.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
It was crazy.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
I mean, that's what happened. That's what happens when you're young.
You take whatever you can get, you know, I mean
my first kind of real I was twelve years old.
And this is actually ironic because you know, well documented
on this show. I turned to a life of crime
as a youth. Of course, fortunately made my way out,
thank god. But when I was twelve, I looked older
than I was, and a family friend was the head

(26:25):
of the public health department, and she came to my
mom and she said, you know, Justin looks older. Would
he be willing to come out with me and go
into stores and see if to sell him cigarettes. Ah,
So she picked me up on Saturdays and bring me
to these like bodegas. Yeah, I didn't. I just would
go in and say, can I have a pack of Marlboroughs.
She'd give me the money, and most times they'd say no,

(26:46):
they'd say let me see your idea. They'd laugh at me,
but sometimes they did. They'd sell me the cigarettes. And
so I'd walk back out and give her the cigarettes,
and then she would go right in there with the
whole citation and fine, aw yeah, imagine our job. Yeah,
I forget when I got paid. You give me cash,
But I was twelve years old. It was I mean,
I didn't care. That's cool. Basically a snitch.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, yeah, imagine that.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
I know.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Did you keep the cigarette?

Speaker 7 (27:15):
No?

Speaker 5 (27:16):
Now it's topic time with Billy and Lisa in the morning.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
So we're talking about the craziest the worst summer jobs ever.
We shared some of ours. Now we want to hear
some of yours. You want to start with talkback Cheftain.

Speaker 7 (27:32):
Yeah, but I got to say, if young people are
listening to this and they're going out into a summer
where they're going to start a job, they're not feeling
good today. But it'll be all right. It's a life experience, right.

Speaker 16 (27:41):
I worked at a summer camp for several summers while
I was in college, and you know, it's a pretty
stereotypical summer job. But I worked during one of the
hottest summers on record and also a drought. And our
camp was run by well water and are well run
out of water, so you know, that meant no bathrooms,
very little hydration.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
It was terrible hot at summer, ever, and a drought.

Speaker 7 (28:08):
Oh no, no water. That's not good.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, you know, cam counselors, that's a big that's a
very common side.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
I was a cam counselor. I was in high school.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yeah you were, Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
I used to take the kids out in the canoes.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
Oh yeah, were they all crushing on you?

Speaker 3 (28:24):
I don't remember the hot counsulor.

Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yeah, there's always one.

Speaker 13 (28:27):
Oh maybe My worst summer job ever was I was
a camp counselor when I was fourteen years old in
Peabty and I was left with a bunch of kids
at the end of the day in a gym and
this little boy jumped off a balance beam and broke
his arm. It was chaos because I was the only
one there and no other counselors were there. It was ridiculous,

(28:48):
and I got in trouble for leaving to go get help.
So and then I was walking home crying and kissed
Gorilla jumps out of the van at me for their contest.
I had no idea it was a kiss gorilla. I
thought I was getting kidnapped, that was it.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
I thought, Okay, you remember the kiss Gorilla. Do you
know who the kiss gorilla was?

Speaker 7 (29:07):
It was Randy No, it was Joe Mazzy, Joe Public.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Oh, Joe Public was Joe works at Big nine enter
Gen and he was the kiss Gorilla.

Speaker 8 (29:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:15):
It was a contest where you'd send me what would
the gorilla do. It would surprise people.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, with tickets and things like that, I think.

Speaker 7 (29:21):
So you'd just be walking down the street and a
van would pull up and a guy in a gorilla
suit would run up on the person.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Yeah, and it was a very lame gorilla suit, like picture,
the lamest possible gorilla suit you can imagine. And that
was our kiss Corolla. I'll bet it's still in that
weird room downstairs in the building.

Speaker 7 (29:39):
Oh, the archive room. Yeah, yeah, I've been down there.
That's a creepy place. That's where I found all the
old billy tapes.

Speaker 13 (29:46):
I have the ultimate summer job story from when I
was a kid.

Speaker 5 (29:50):
I was about thirteen years old and worked at what
can only be described as my aunt's sweatshop.

Speaker 13 (29:56):
It was a packaging company. We would basically like there.
It was like some little car part that you would
like put a gasket in and then screw.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
The top on and then put it in a box.

Speaker 11 (30:05):
And then there was like pipe acts that you would
have to load into a little plastic thing.

Speaker 13 (30:10):
Or just assembling boxes.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
So it was just a sweatshop.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
Yeah, you know, it's weird. My mother worked in like
a sweatshop in Cambridge. Yeah, it was like a plastics
factory or something, and they had a full plastic things
together and she would always have to bring piles of
it home and she'd be never mind, it's another weird memory.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
Yeah, my gran my grandmother grew up in Cambridge or she.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Would yeah, do you know about that?

Speaker 7 (30:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely yeah, definitely High.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
Morning Crew with Joanne and Milford. I had a friend
in high school who worked for housekeeping of a major
hotel and she had lots of stories. But my favorite
is somebody filled the bathtub with water and added multiple
packs of jello and it solidified and she had to
clean out an entire bathtub of jello.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
That's a nightmare.

Speaker 7 (31:04):
I have some questions here, A lot of questions. Is
that a is that a fetish thing? Jello sex? And
I mean you have to say.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
It, Yeah, it seems like it. Why else would they
do an entire bathtub of jello to eat it?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I don't think so. And then yeah, no, I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Stuff in condos and it's it's so gross the way
people leave rooms.

Speaker 9 (31:30):
If they wanted to do the biggest jello shot you
could think of, and they put in the time and
then you would scoop it out.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
As a party thing, yeah, maybe it was a college like,
could be frat party or something.

Speaker 7 (31:42):
Yeah, oh my, that's so great.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (31:46):
Oh man, worst summer job I would know. I never
had one. I used to think my mother was the
meanest woman on the planet. The second school was over,
we got dragged down a man and met for the
whole summer to our cottage and it was beat every
day and some of loves and friends, and I thought
she was horrible. I wanted to be home here with
my friends. And yeah, in retrospect, wouldn't I love those

(32:08):
days back? Whole summer no work?

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, thanks Tom.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Sounds like a dream, is it, man met?

Speaker 7 (32:15):
Not quite Smith, It's implement.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
It must have been beautiful, though.

Speaker 7 (32:20):
I'll tell you where my son's going to work for
when he turns fourteen. That summer market basket. You can
be fourteen and work there.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
You can, oh, put him right to work.

Speaker 7 (32:29):
Well, there's a kid in our neighborhood who's just turned
fourteen and he's bagging groceries. I was there with Able
this weekend and he saw him. He said hi to him.
I go, buddy, that's where you go.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
Oh yeah, a grocery store is a great first job.
It was my first job.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Was that job there?

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah? That was another one of mine. I think I
was twelve years old. Yeah, my first job for Zoli's.
It was a little variety store on one of the
side streets in my neighborhood.

Speaker 7 (32:54):
At twelve.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Yeah, that was no, no, well very but my dad
didn't care. But the owner, mister Foli, had no thumbs.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
What happened.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Well, I'm told it was a mob thing.

Speaker 7 (33:10):
Yeah, he didn't pay the big. He didn't pay the big.
That's what happens. Oh, man, his thumbs, no thumbs, hold on,
you never forget things. Oh, that's really tough.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
And you know what he had. You know when you
go in the little variety stores. It was very old school.
But you know the the broomstick that has the claw
at the end of it, so he could go up
and grab the toilet paper because they had no thumbs.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
Is this a real story.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Yes, I'm telling you it was, and I worked there.
But it was the place like after Sunday mass the
place was everybody went to to get the newspaper and
then to get whatever you need for the sun tap.

Speaker 7 (33:52):
Didn't your dad take half your paycheck or something too?

Speaker 3 (33:55):
He took the whole thing. Yeah, no, any cash jobs. Yeah,
he took to help the family. Yeah. Well he called it,
you have to pay the freight, right, so he would
take whatever you earned. And this is my brother and
I going into like, you know, seventeen eighteen. He was
still taking our money and he'll just give you a
few dollars. I got to pay the freight. You live here.

Speaker 7 (34:15):
And then he probably went down to the bar and oh,
thing he had.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Was spent at the local pooliases the bar.

Speaker 7 (34:21):
Yeah, wow, memories.

Speaker 12 (34:23):
Put up morning crew, you know the cabby here. It's
not my worst job I've had, but the weirdest. I
was a locker room attendant for middle school elementary school
kids at a swimming pool. So my job was little
to sit there and basically watch them get undressed and dress,
make sure they weren't fighting and.

Speaker 7 (34:41):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 12 (34:42):
I don't know if that job still exists, at least
the one person I was the only one in there.
It was weird, but at a lot of free time for.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Homework definitely doesn't exist anymore. I don't think so just
sitting there watching the kids.

Speaker 9 (34:54):
Although I do remember locker room attendants when I did
some swim lessons, I do remember that they had them.
They would just sit in the lock It would be
like a teenager. So say you're like in middle school
or elementary school taking sim classes, and there would be
like an instructor who was probably a teenager, and they
would be like basically at the what they would they
would be at the doorway.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
What was the purpose to make.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Sure that kids weren't messing around back there?

Speaker 9 (35:18):
And like you know, it could be because it's a
slippery back there because of the water that came in
from the door.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
Well, they weren't doing what's the thing with the towel.

Speaker 9 (35:24):
Yeah, first, really, they would make sure you showered because
it was a shower before you got into the pool.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Well, it's funny you mentioned that because when I was
in grammar school, we had mister York was our very
strict gym teacher, and I always thought it was a
little odd because for the group shower there was like a.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's such a strange child there was oh strange.

Speaker 3 (35:51):
There was like a tower that he would stand in
with a window looking and I thought it was a
little weird, weird. And then if you left the shower
right and he saw footprints because you didn't dry yourself,

(36:11):
he'd follow your footprints and snap you with a towel.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Oh my god, that's like your bare ass. Okay, he
has to be caught if.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
It was.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
Had such a traumat.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
This is.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Snapkids in the tower.

Speaker 17 (36:35):
Yeah, they asked, really you Yeah, you need to get
it on the control.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
And I would be, oh.

Speaker 7 (36:53):
My god, there's mister York.

Speaker 10 (36:55):
Oh
