You're listening to Bill Handle on demandfrom KF I am six forty and apologize
to all the men out there whorun races naked. I can make a
whole thing about the batons, youknow, as there running relay races.
(00:24):
But I'm not going there. I'mopen. I'm open. I'm open,
and now handle on the news.Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
Oh the light's working morning, everybody, Bill Handle here. It is a
Friday, foody Friday, May third, twenty twenty four. And Michelle brought
(00:50):
us bagels. Oh good. Peoplelove when you eat on the air.
I don't care they love it.I don't care all the talkbacks Western bagels.
My favorite bagels on the planet yesterdaywas Einstein's Good Bagel. But I
grew up with Western bagels and freshbagels. Oh got them. I'm in
(01:10):
heaven and their lockspread, which Michellegot us, which is well got me.
And we've already been told us keepour hands all hell. Yes,
Amy, you stay, you stayout of that lock spread. Oh yeah,
he got a little violent. Idid I did that. You do
not touch lock spread anyway? Goodmorning, Amy, Hi, Hi,
Right now, these are Western bagelsand these are real jew bagels the way
(01:36):
I have defined it. And Amy, I don't know if you know this.
I have a jew bagel amendment tomy contract last time out. I'm
not kidding because whenever we did anevent in the morning and invited people to
join us, I insisted that it'sbagels, cream, cheese, coffee,
pastries for everybody that shows up,and proper cutlery and proper cutlery. That's
(01:57):
right, because it's not the cheap, cheap plastic stuff that breaks. And
so real jew bagels. Okay,So it's sort of like your rider for
like, oh, you have musicianswhen they go to play a venue.
Oh yeah, no, oh,it's an absolute contract, contractual issue.
He has peanuts as well, butthey're M and m's that he has a
(02:20):
shell. We take off the chocolatecoated. No, no, that's not
true, but the bagels are.And so one year we did this and
somebody brought bagels and they got themfrom the supermarket. Supermarket bagels are not
bagels. Supermarket bagels are bread thatis in the shape of bagels. Right,
(02:40):
So that was one year and Iwent berserk. Next event, they
brought it again, bread in theshape of bagels from rals or whatever wants,
and I went out of my mind. I said, if we offer
bagels, we have to have bagels, and they have to be real jew
bagels as defined, okay, froma bagel shop like Western Bagel, an
(03:04):
accepted defined real bagel shop. Okay, you have to have that, and
that's one Einstein's is that other bagelshops. And there has to be water
bagels, plain bagels. Those arethe only real true bagels. Also on
the list, but very very close. It's like Ivy League Yale and Harvard,
and just below that is University Virginiaand University of Chicago sort of Ivy
(03:30):
League Stanford. Just the hair below, just the hair below are onion bagels
and egg bagels, so they're veryvery very close to being real jew bagels.
And then after that blueberry bagels,everything bagels, strawberry bagels. Come
on, I mean, that's justcrap. You can bring all you want,
(03:50):
but we needed a minimum number ofreal bagels. That's in the contract,
by the way, And if theybreached again. If the company breaches
again, there's a twenty five thousanddollars donation to my favorite charity. Now
we at that point this goes upcorporate because now iHeart is now on the
(04:16):
hook for twenty five thousand dollars.And it goes up corporate and corporate comes
back. Who decides it's a realbagel? So we had to have a
panel or a rabbi who makes theultimate decision as to what's a real jew
bagel or not. And it wentall the way up to Pittman, who
is the CEO of iHeart. Iwish you were joking, I'm not.
(04:39):
And the bageldum is legendary. Itis. And they passed it around.
Management passed it around. They thinkit's the funniest damn thing they've ever heard
in their life. I am theonly person in the history of iHeart who
has ever put in a bagel amendmentin the contract. Go there, there
you go with bagels. That's howserious I am about bagels. Okay,
(05:00):
wow, yeah, are we lickingyour finger? Yeah? Because I just
put my finger into the cream cheese. My fingers clean, I washed my
hands. Leave me alone, okay, cono, good morning, good morning,
and good morning, good morning,good morning, and Neil your I
don't know if I said good morning, but good morning, well good morning.
(05:23):
Yeah, you kind of said itby spitting on some of your bag
on me. Also, one otherthing I want to point out, this
is Friday. Since it is Friday, I'm putting together and I asked Neil
to help me with this a contestand we're that has to go up corporate
too, because there are so manyrules about contests that it all has to
be okay by corporate. And thecontest that I am proposing is we give
(05:47):
away swag and tickets we don't knowwhat, whatever we can get for free
to the protester who leaves the mosttrash at one of the venues. How
do you prove that? Well,that's that's the trick photographs, witnesses,
and that's why we have to figureit out. That's why corporate, the
(06:10):
corporate lawyers have to figure out.And among the items that we're giving away
our KFI mugs that are chipped,stickers that are almost totally adhesive, one
corner does not adhere. So basicallygarbage with KFI logo that is correct,
KFI pins that are out of ink. And so we're giving away garbage to
(06:33):
the person who produces proof that sheor he left the most garbage. Yes,
we should. We should have swagfrom the Woody Show that's crossed out,
and then says they have more swagthat they have. Now we give
away four dollars at a time.Kiss will pay you your bills, all
(06:57):
your bills for a year up tofifty five thousand dollars. Ryan Seacrest will
come to your home, I loshyour dishes hand. Yeah, and we're
going to give away pens that arenineteen cents each. It's a little different.
By the way, I notice thatyou didn't refute that I'm not managed.
No, I will speak my mind. Oh right, I'm not enslaved
(07:23):
by the man. Okay, let'sdo it handle on the news on this
Friday morning, Amy Neil and melead. Sorry, all right. Protests
continue around the country. Two thousandwere arrested over the last day, actually
the last twenty four hours. UCLAI think has calmed down. They're still
a dozen or two, and Ithink at some point these protesters are going
(07:46):
to realize what do you think they'regoing to do? I mean, what
are they going for? Divestment?You do the financial people? Do you
know that universities have their endowments.They don't even dec side who puts the
money where it's up to the financialadvisor. Now they can say, you
want to get rid of all thepro Israeli and we don't even know,
(08:09):
by the way, which companies dobusiness with Israel. I mean, there's
no What does that mean? Doesthat mean they sell a part to a
company that does business with Israel?How about giving aid? Does that mean
that a charitable organization? When Iwas a kid, for every bar Mitzvah,
you'd plant a tree in Israel?Does that mean that the people who
(08:33):
supply, for example, the volunteerswho go there and that nonprofit because it
does business. What about American businessesbecause America supplies weapons. Yeah, so
you got to divest from the anyUnited States couling. That's a given.
Oh yeah, that's a basic.That one's easy. I wonder who supplies
spray paint, who makes spray paintand plywood if there's any Yeah, Israeli
(08:56):
connections there. Yeah, it's kindof crazy, and it's just it's insane.
I still want to know where theygot all that Plywood's crazy and I
think they brought it in. Well, they don't know who the people weren't.
Well, yeah, they all havemasks. Yeah, yeah, they
don't know who they all they allhave masks. It was it was horrible
(09:18):
listening to Amy this morning on wakeup call and having her ask uh uh
Jordana Melier in Israel if they areresponding or hearing about this, and they're
like, it's everywhere and people aredisheartened that people don't understand the difference between
Hamas and Gauzanians. I don't wantto understand anything. I understand the bagels,
(09:41):
bagels. I understand your bagel,your bagel genius. I am a
bagel aficionado and a bagel expert.Bagel Maven. All right, guys,
Amy, uh kind of a daylightand a dollar short? U c l
A Chancellor Jene Block has something tosay about the protests. He's sent out
a let and said, our communityis in deep pain. We're reeling from
(10:03):
days of violence and division, andwe hope with all our hearts that we
can return to a place where ourstudents, faculty and staff feel safe and
one day connected again and both Godplease come on, I mean, seriously,
everybody is walking on egg shells.How about saying knock that trap off
and vandalizing our property and even thestudents are walking on egg shells. Literally,
(10:26):
they're walking on garbshell was the partof the garbage. Yeah, I
mean this is crazy. I meanjust i'd say, yeah, you know,
First Amendment, they have a right, Yeah, got it, got
it. In the meantime, allright, I was just about to go
and get in a lot of trouble. But I'm not going to do that.
Okay. The captain of the diveboat, if you remember, Conception
caught fire near Santa Cruz Island LaborDay of twenty nineteen. Well, that
(10:52):
captain was sentenced just yesterday to fouryears behind bars gross negligence in the deaths
of thirty four people on board.I mean, he clearly deserved it because
of all the you know, hedidn't have a night watch, so there
was they didn't have any What amI talking about? I just lost my
(11:13):
train of thought. Fire extinguishers,Now, they didn't have enough of those,
and they didn't have enough fire drills, which they have to have.
And that's the law. And hewas nailed on account of misconduct or neglect
of a ship officer, a precivil war law. That's kind of neat
(11:35):
when that happens. Well, noone's going to overturn this one. Yeah,
there are legitimate laws that are old. Yeah, well, maritime law
goes back forever. I mean,it really goes back. Michael Cohen recorded
everything. Oh boy, So forthe first time in former President Trump's hush
(11:58):
money trial, jurors heard Trump's voice. It wasn't him live. It was
on tape, and it was himand his former attorney talking about how they
were going to pay for buying thesilence of a former playboy model who alleged
an affair with Trump. The recording, secretly recorded by Cohen, was played
(12:20):
inside the courtroom, giving a jurya brief look at how the fixer kept
his boss up to date with whatwas going on. Now, it's not
illegal to buy silence. That isnot a crime. The crime here is
buying silence to affect the election.That's what he's being charged with. How
(12:41):
much for like an hour of yoursilence? Wow? Can we all tip
in? You can't afford all mysilence? Fair enough? Fair enough?
Just curious? All right? Restaurantsearch charges, you know those things that
were popping up and oh garbage,all kinds of fees on there. Well,
they're going to be illegal in California. A new law, this is
(13:03):
SB four seven eight, which startson July one, says that they have
to they're banning these hidden fees,and that means it all has to be
wrapped up and folded into menu prices. The hotels drive me nuts. I
mean they get they advertise and resortfees. It's a motel, yeah,
(13:24):
I mean there, I get chargedfrom a resort fee. You don't even
have a pool. Yeah, it'sand it's thirty five bucks per night.
It's not a small amount of money. And they have they should advertise parking
what that costs. Now, that'san extra fee. I'm okay with that.
But you find that out when yougo to the hotel. It's twenty
(13:45):
eight dollars a night for parking.Thank you. Last place I stayed forty
dollars a seak. That's I mean, I don't care if they let you
know when you book, I fronttires, you have it cleaned, that's
all. Yeah, for forty.Don't eat the meat, at least if
you bought it at Walmart. Incertain states, more than sixteen thousand pounds
(14:09):
of raw ground beef has been recalledby the US Department of Agriculture because it
might be contaminated with E coli.It was sold at Walmart's around the US.
No reports of confirmed illness. Andthe good news is it's not in
or it's not in California. It'snot one of the states. And they
give us a recall. I thinkit was the government said, the ones
(14:31):
that are labeled ninety three percent lean, seven percent fat all natural lean ground
beef, prime rib beef, steak, burger patties, beef with E coli
And you can pay a little extrafor that. You want that good E
coli marblewood, Yes, yeah,nice and fatty, real food guy.
(14:54):
Yes. Wouldn't you cook it out? Ok? Yeah, wouldn't you cook
it out? I believe you do. Would cook out at one sixty five.
But you don't want that's burnt meat. Yeah, you don't want to.
That's not the way you want to. Yeah. And they say this
and Neil correct me on this one. And it could still it contaminate other
parts of your refrigerator and it freezer. Before we take a break, I
(15:18):
sue vd as you do, yes, and we're talking about chicken products.
They don't say go anywhere near onehundred and sixty five. You can do
it. At one hundred and fortyfive one hundred and fifty totally different because
it's almost a reverse mentality. Ifyou walked out into a hundred degree weather,
you'd be hot. Now, ifyou stayed two hours in it,
(15:39):
you could die. But if youwalked out into two hundred degree weather,
you die. Okay, So it'sit's different. It's a lower temperature,
but for longer periods of time you'dstill get the same thing. But it
could it would be incredibly dangerous tomess with equal I Okay, that's we'll
be talking. We won't be talkingabout that on foody Friday. No,
or maybe we will maybe maybe?All right, TB by the Sea,
(16:02):
ladies and gentlemen, a tuberculosis outbreakamong residents in one of these single room
occupancy hotels in Long Beach has leftone person dead and you've got nine others
hospitalized. This is prompting the declarationof a public health emergency. Yeah,
big time there in Long Beach.And when doctor Jim comes board next Wednesday,
(16:26):
let's talk about this segment because thisis important. TB is no joke,
and it was virtually eradicated. It'smy mother, you've heard. I'm
sure you knew or maybe not.She was a lab tech when she came
to the United States, you know, in the mid fifties, and she
became a laboratory technician. Worked atAll of you Medical Center up in Silmar
Crash during the what is it theninety four was it ninety four earthquake?
(16:52):
I think so, yes, anyway, and it was a tuberculosis sanitarium at
that point. It was a countytuberculosis hospital. No one was there.
She had the best job in theworld. She was a lab tech and
she would go to the patients thatwere there, draw their blood and then
analyze the blood. Didn't have machinesin those days. There were three patients
(17:14):
that she dealt with at times threeshe would go and draw their blood and
she read books until five o'clock.And they didn't need it anymore. And
now this is big news, TB. I mean, this is kind of
crazy. How do you get tuberculosis? It's it's hard to get it's it
is contagious. It's not that easyto get. You have to be around
(17:36):
it. I think it's airborne.It is, as a matter of fact,
and it takes a while to getit. And no one has teav
I remember the test or the littleyeah, the little prickers like four dots.
I don't even think I don't eventhink they do that anymore. It's
so rare. But the people herethere, they're homeless, mentally ill,
substance abuse, medical comorbidity, comorbidity, which means they have other medical
(18:00):
problems, for example, kidneys thathave gone south. And you're looking at
me. I am looking at you, making me uncomfortable, sir kidney.
As a matter of fact, Neilis putting a swimming pool in his house,
and of course it's going to bekidney shaped. Yeah, and I'm
going to put a couple of stonesin it, thank you, Rodney Dangerfield.
(18:22):
Yes, So remember when the IRSgot all that new funding in the
Inflation Reduction Act. They're putting itto good use. I don't know.
The Internal Revenue Service has put outits plans to significantly ramp up audit rates
of wealthy taxpayers and large corporations.So taxpayers earning more than ten million dollars
(18:45):
are expected to see the number ofaudits go up by fifty percent. Wow,
because there's so many of us rightwho make ten million dollars or more
who the hell makes ten million dollarsor more that you even know. I
don't. It's not true. Iknow Ryan Seacrest, Okay, yeah,
I sort of know. He's anacquaintance. Okay, I'll buy that.
(19:06):
I know one. You don't.You don't got that kind of folding money?
No, Okay, Now I'm inthe wrong business. You have to
be in the Ryan Seacrest business toget that kind of money. Well,
try being an accessory to you.Then. Yeah, Universal Music Group,
you remember back, I think itwas in late January. A couple months
(19:27):
back, they pulled out a TikToksaying that they weren't making enough money.
The agreement was horrible. Well,UMG and TikTok have made up. They've
reached a new licensing agreement, andthis ends that month's long dispute and brings
the catalog, the Universal Music Groupa catalog back to the video platform.
(19:52):
All right, Well that had toend because everybody wants music. Now music
has only listened to on you know, on the and people use it for
their videos and that's a powerful tool. President Biden's making friends again. Not
so. He called our close allyjapan xenophobic at a fundraiser in Washington,
(20:18):
d C. Apparently, the Presidentmade the remark at the off camera event
while arguing that Japan, along withIndia, Russia, and China, would
perform better economically if the countries embracedimmigration more. Japan is one of the
most xenophobic society countries on the planetbecause they don't want a bunch of things
(20:38):
coming in. They don't want anybodyother than Japanese. Quick story, isn't
that okay? Well, to thisextent, I don't know. Japan's already
too crowded. Well depends, okay. I mean, Tokyo is certainly Kyoto
maybe, but you know, there'sa lot of land out there that is
not being used in Japan. Butthat's size the point. It is a
philosophy, it is culture for themto be incredibly xenophobic. The Japanese are
(21:03):
a very special people in their eyes, and they don't want it to be
deluded. I mean, it's thatcrazy. So here's a story before we
take a break. A lawyer thatI shared a suite with when I first
started practicing, Japanese American third generationhad never even been to Japan. His
(21:26):
girlfriend happened to be working on herMasters in Japanese studies. She spoke fluent,
dead ass Japanese. So he goesto Japan with her. They're walking
down the street and more than oncepeople were stopping them because here's a Japanese
with an American on the streets,and they look at him and literally say,
(21:49):
what are you doing with that barbarian? That's how they call foreigners barbarians.
I'm not kidding, And she wouldsay in dead fluent Japanese, he
doesn't speak a word of Japanese.Please don't call it a little barbaria.
Yeah, all right. China launchedan uncrude lunar mission Friday, and this
(22:12):
is super cool if you love thespace program. They aim to bring back
samples from the far side of theMoon for the first time, So major
step forward for the country's ambitious spaceprogram and just super cool to think that
they're going to bring samples from thefar side of the Moon. Pretty sophisticated
(22:33):
stuff. I mean, no oneelse has done that. They called the
Chang the changey six Probe. Originallyit was called the Mugo Gui Moon but
that didn't work out. No,no, I just wanted to pause for
all the laughter. There we go. There we go, We'll put it
in in post. Yeah. Hey, can I get that back please?
(22:57):
That's what Apple's saying. They announceda one hundred and ten billion dollars share
buy back. It's the largest incompany history, as iPhone sales declined ten
percent, the drop suggesting weak demandfor iPhone fifteen, which came out in
September. Their first quarter revenues andolt yesterday ninety point eight billion dollars.
(23:18):
Oh, it's down four percent.Yeah. Well, when corporations do buyback,
it's really interesting. Usually stock isdown, so they're able to get
it. It's somewhat of a discount, and it just makes the rest of
the stock more valuable. The companyactually becomes more valuable per share, and
that's the buyback, as the remainingshareholders all of a sudden, it's more
valuable. I wish I had Applestock to sell to anybody. Smart.
(23:44):
Smart. Yeah, what a roughstory or twist to this story. You
remember Britney Griner, basketball star.She said she considered suicide at the start
of her ninety year sentence. They'rein the Russian labor camp and that was
the result. Back in twenty twentytwo of her arrest near Moscow, for
(24:06):
carrying that small amount of cannabis oil. But she said she wanted to take
her life more than once in thefirst weeks. Yeah, it's rough to
be in those Russian prison camps,the gulags. It's just I mean,
they don't screw around. I mean, their prisons are serious prisons. You
know, it really gives you thatcompare and contrast of the freedoms and the
(24:30):
liberties we have here in the UnitedStates. When you're in a place like
that, well, our definition ofpoor is very different than you go to
Yemen, or you go to Brazilor Columbia. Their definition of poor.
Sure, it's our definition of pooris not people who are starving to death
on the streets in Brazil those what'sthere's a lot of poor, But what's
(24:52):
it that area that's it looks beautifulwhen you drive by it first, but
it's it's like h these oh yeah, the favelas, yeah, up on
the hill. Yeah yeah, oh, by the way, just real quickly.
It's not in the news, butCNN is reporting two things. The
defense of course, the Stormy Daniel'strial is continuing today, and that Trump
went, you know, Wednesday,when it was dark the court. He
(25:18):
did a campaign stop Trump did andgave pizzas to firefighters that were there.
Now, two things. Number One, it was clearly someone in the Trump
campaign came up with that. It'sgenius, bitch of the Biden people going
why didn't we think of that?And by the way, I want to
mention, I do believe that DonaldTrump that legitimately honors firefighters, so there's
(25:40):
no question that it was for him. It was not particularly a stunt.
I think it came from the heart, But politically it sort of was a
stunt in the fact that let's dothis, and someone in the Biden campaign
is kicking themselves in the ass sayingwhy didn't we think of that? I
think it was because Biden wanted tosend them ice cream. People thought that
(26:03):
was maybe not a best idea.Tell your moms and dads do not fall
for the fraud people older than sixty. I've lost more money and scams in
twenty twenty three than in twenty twentytwo, like eleven percent more three point
four billion dollars. And the numberone scam according to the FBI, usually
(26:29):
involves the scammers claiming to be supportfrom a legitimate company, letting the person
know that there's been fraudulent activity andor that they're going to get a refund
for a subscription service. And thenthey say, hey, we have a
refund for you, but the onlyway you can get it is to download
this software, which of course allowsthe scammer in to your bank account.
(26:52):
Yeah. Also, it's your grandchildis in prison somewhat travels in the field,
lppenes or whatever has been arrested,needs bail money, send it immediately.
I want to talk to her,because that's the first thing you do.
You can't. Yeah, that isa scam. I actually I had
that one hit on me. Is. I got called and I said,
(27:14):
you know, your daughter is inprison and we need ten thousand dollars.
I said, keeper, now Iten thousand dollars. I'm not interested.
I'll send you six if you keepher Wow. Yeah, that doesn't work
with you. So open AI.Then their chat GPT. We all know
about this at this point, butthey've got some serious competition. So the
(27:37):
company's rival, Anthropic, brings itsClaude chat bot to iPhones. Now,
so that means that their whole strategyis, we want the power of all
this stuff to be in people's hands. So this is not just convenience accessibility.
It's better yeah, better program.This tech is in and only getting
(28:00):
insane, it is. And chatgp T was the only one out well,
they have others, but they hadthe market. They had the market
like Tesla was the was the onlyone out there when serious ev started.
That was chat GPT. And nowit's just hard. I mean, you
don't want to know about who namedit though. Claude, Yeah, yeah,
(28:22):
that's interesting, Claude. I don'tnot Einstein, it's Clad Claude.
Yeah. And I'm here to cleanyour radiator. Now, I can understand
calling your bagels Einstein. I getthat makes sense mart bagels. Yeah,
and we're talking that Einstein bagels aremore dense. And and I replied,
(28:44):
yeah, that no one's ever calledEinstein dense. Yes, odd twist.
It is all right. This iskf I A M six forty live everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. You've beenlistening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch
my Show Monday through Friday six amto nine am, and any time on
demand on the iHeartRadio app
You're listening to Bill Handle on demandfrom KF I am six forty and apologize

whole thing about the batons, youknow, as there running relay races.
(00:24):
But I'm not going there. I'mopen. I'm open. I'm open,
and now handle on the news.Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle.
Oh the light's working morning, everybody, Bill Handle here. It is a
Friday, foody Friday, May third, twenty twenty four. And Michelle brought
(00:50):
us bagels. Oh good. Peoplelove when you eat on the air.
I don't care they love it.I don't care all the talkbacks Western bagels.
My favorite bagels on the planet yesterdaywas Einstein's Good Bagel. But I
grew up with Western bagels and freshbagels. Oh got them. I'm in
(01:10):
heaven and their lockspread, which Michellegot us, which is well got me.
And we've already been told us keepour hands all hell. Yes,
Amy, you stay, you stayout of that lock spread. Oh yeah,
he got a little violent. Idid I did that. You do
not touch lock spread anyway? Goodmorning, Amy, Hi, Hi,
Right now, these are Western bagelsand these are real jew bagels the way
(01:36):
I have defined it. And Amy, I don't know if you know this.
I have a jew bagel amendment tomy contract last time out. I'm
not kidding because whenever we did anevent in the morning and invited people to
join us, I insisted that it'sbagels, cream, cheese, coffee,
pastries for everybody that shows up,and proper cutlery and proper cutlery. That's
(01:57):
right, because it's not the cheap, cheap plastic stuff that breaks. And
so real jew bagels. Okay,So it's sort of like your rider for
like, oh, you have musicianswhen they go to play a venue.
Oh yeah, no, oh,it's an absolute contract, contractual issue.
He has peanuts as well, butthey're M and m's that he has a
(02:20):
shell. We take off the chocolatecoated. No, no, that's not
true, but the bagels are.And so one year we did this and
somebody brought bagels and they got themfrom the supermarket. Supermarket bagels are not
bagels. Supermarket bagels are bread thatis in the shape of bagels. Right,
(02:40):
So that was one year and Iwent berserk. Next event, they
brought it again, bread in theshape of bagels from rals or whatever wants,
and I went out of my mind. I said, if we offer
bagels, we have to have bagels, and they have to be real jew
bagels as defined, okay, froma bagel shop like Western Bagel, an
(03:04):
accepted defined real bagel shop. Okay, you have to have that, and
that's one Einstein's is that other bagelshops. And there has to be water
bagels, plain bagels. Those arethe only real true bagels. Also on
the list, but very very close. It's like Ivy League Yale and Harvard,
and just below that is University Virginiaand University of Chicago sort of Ivy
(03:30):
League Stanford. Just the hair below, just the hair below are onion bagels
and egg bagels, so they're veryvery very close to being real jew bagels.
And then after that blueberry bagels,everything bagels, strawberry bagels. Come
on, I mean, that's justcrap. You can bring all you want,
(03:50):
but we needed a minimum number ofreal bagels. That's in the contract,
by the way, And if theybreached again. If the company breaches
again, there's a twenty five thousanddollars donation to my favorite charity. Now
we at that point this goes upcorporate because now iHeart is now on the
(04:16):
hook for twenty five thousand dollars.And it goes up corporate and corporate comes
back. Who decides it's a realbagel? So we had to have a
panel or a rabbi who makes theultimate decision as to what's a real jew
bagel or not. And it wentall the way up to Pittman, who
is the CEO of iHeart. Iwish you were joking, I'm not.
(04:39):
And the bageldum is legendary. Itis. And they passed it around.
Management passed it around. They thinkit's the funniest damn thing they've ever heard
in their life. I am theonly person in the history of iHeart who
has ever put in a bagel amendmentin the contract. Go there, there
you go with bagels. That's howserious I am about bagels. Okay,
(05:00):
wow, yeah, are we lickingyour finger? Yeah? Because I just
put my finger into the cream cheese. My fingers clean, I washed my
hands. Leave me alone, okay, cono, good morning, good morning,
and good morning, good morning,good morning, and Neil your I
don't know if I said good morning, but good morning, well good morning.
(05:23):
Yeah, you kind of said itby spitting on some of your bag
on me. Also, one otherthing I want to point out, this
is Friday. Since it is Friday, I'm putting together and I asked Neil
to help me with this a contestand we're that has to go up corporate
too, because there are so manyrules about contests that it all has to
be okay by corporate. And thecontest that I am proposing is we give
(05:47):
away swag and tickets we don't knowwhat, whatever we can get for free
to the protester who leaves the mosttrash at one of the venues. How
do you prove that? Well,that's that's the trick photographs, witnesses,
and that's why we have to figureit out. That's why corporate, the
(06:10):
corporate lawyers have to figure out.And among the items that we're giving away
our KFI mugs that are chipped,stickers that are almost totally adhesive, one
corner does not adhere. So basicallygarbage with KFI logo that is correct,
KFI pins that are out of ink. And so we're giving away garbage to
(06:33):
the person who produces proof that sheor he left the most garbage. Yes,
we should. We should have swagfrom the Woody Show that's crossed out,
and then says they have more swagthat they have. Now we give
away four dollars at a time.Kiss will pay you your bills, all
(06:57):
your bills for a year up tofifty five thousand dollars. Ryan Seacrest will
come to your home, I loshyour dishes hand. Yeah, and we're
going to give away pens that arenineteen cents each. It's a little different.
By the way, I notice thatyou didn't refute that I'm not managed.
No, I will speak my mind. Oh right, I'm not enslaved
(07:23):
by the man. Okay, let'sdo it handle on the news on this
Friday morning, Amy Neil and melead. Sorry, all right. Protests
continue around the country. Two thousandwere arrested over the last day, actually
the last twenty four hours. UCLAI think has calmed down. They're still
a dozen or two, and Ithink at some point these protesters are going
(07:46):
to realize what do you think they'regoing to do? I mean, what
are they going for? Divestment?You do the financial people? Do you
know that universities have their endowments.They don't even dec side who puts the
money where it's up to the financialadvisor. Now they can say, you
want to get rid of all thepro Israeli and we don't even know,
(08:09):
by the way, which companies dobusiness with Israel. I mean, there's
no What does that mean? Doesthat mean they sell a part to a
company that does business with Israel?How about giving aid? Does that mean
that a charitable organization? When Iwas a kid, for every bar Mitzvah,
you'd plant a tree in Israel?Does that mean that the people who
(08:33):
supply, for example, the volunteerswho go there and that nonprofit because it
does business. What about American businessesbecause America supplies weapons. Yeah, so
you got to divest from the anyUnited States couling. That's a given.
Oh yeah, that's a basic.That one's easy. I wonder who supplies
spray paint, who makes spray paintand plywood if there's any Yeah, Israeli
(08:56):
connections there. Yeah, it's kindof crazy, and it's just it's insane.
I still want to know where theygot all that Plywood's crazy and I
think they brought it in. Well, they don't know who the people weren't.
Well, yeah, they all havemasks. Yeah, yeah, they
don't know who they all they allhave masks. It was it was horrible
(09:18):
listening to Amy this morning on wakeup call and having her ask uh uh
Jordana Melier in Israel if they areresponding or hearing about this, and they're
like, it's everywhere and people aredisheartened that people don't understand the difference between
Hamas and Gauzanians. I don't wantto understand anything. I understand the bagels,
(09:41):
bagels. I understand your bagel,your bagel genius. I am a
bagel aficionado and a bagel expert.Bagel Maven. All right, guys,
Amy, uh kind of a daylightand a dollar short? U c l
A Chancellor Jene Block has something tosay about the protests. He's sent out
a let and said, our communityis in deep pain. We're reeling from
(10:03):
days of violence and division, andwe hope with all our hearts that we
can return to a place where ourstudents, faculty and staff feel safe and
one day connected again and both Godplease come on, I mean, seriously,
everybody is walking on egg shells.How about saying knock that trap off
and vandalizing our property and even thestudents are walking on egg shells. Literally,
(10:26):
they're walking on garbshell was the partof the garbage. Yeah, I
mean this is crazy. I meanjust i'd say, yeah, you know,
First Amendment, they have a right, Yeah, got it, got
it. In the meantime, allright, I was just about to go
and get in a lot of trouble. But I'm not going to do that.
Okay. The captain of the diveboat, if you remember, Conception
caught fire near Santa Cruz Island LaborDay of twenty nineteen. Well, that
(10:52):
captain was sentenced just yesterday to fouryears behind bars gross negligence in the deaths
of thirty four people on board.I mean, he clearly deserved it because
of all the you know, hedidn't have a night watch, so there
was they didn't have any What amI talking about? I just lost my
(11:13):
train of thought. Fire extinguishers,Now, they didn't have enough of those,
and they didn't have enough fire drills, which they have to have.
And that's the law. And hewas nailed on account of misconduct or neglect
of a ship officer, a precivil war law. That's kind of neat
(11:35):
when that happens. Well, noone's going to overturn this one. Yeah,
there are legitimate laws that are old. Yeah, well, maritime law
goes back forever. I mean,it really goes back. Michael Cohen recorded
everything. Oh boy, So forthe first time in former President Trump's hush
(11:58):
money trial, jurors heard Trump's voice. It wasn't him live. It was
on tape, and it was himand his former attorney talking about how they
were going to pay for buying thesilence of a former playboy model who alleged
an affair with Trump. The recording, secretly recorded by Cohen, was played
(12:20):
inside the courtroom, giving a jurya brief look at how the fixer kept
his boss up to date with whatwas going on. Now, it's not
illegal to buy silence. That isnot a crime. The crime here is
buying silence to affect the election.That's what he's being charged with. How
(12:41):
much for like an hour of yoursilence? Wow? Can we all tip
in? You can't afford all mysilence? Fair enough? Fair enough?
Just curious? All right? Restaurantsearch charges, you know those things that
were popping up and oh garbage,all kinds of fees on there. Well,
they're going to be illegal in California. A new law, this is
(13:03):
SB four seven eight, which startson July one, says that they have
to they're banning these hidden fees,and that means it all has to be
wrapped up and folded into menu prices. The hotels drive me nuts. I
mean they get they advertise and resortfees. It's a motel, yeah,
(13:24):
I mean there, I get chargedfrom a resort fee. You don't even
have a pool. Yeah, it'sand it's thirty five bucks per night.
It's not a small amount of money. And they have they should advertise parking
what that costs. Now, that'san extra fee. I'm okay with that.
But you find that out when yougo to the hotel. It's twenty
(13:45):
eight dollars a night for parking.Thank you. Last place I stayed forty
dollars a seak. That's I mean, I don't care if they let you
know when you book, I fronttires, you have it cleaned, that's
all. Yeah, for forty.Don't eat the meat, at least if
you bought it at Walmart. Incertain states, more than sixteen thousand pounds
(14:09):
of raw ground beef has been recalledby the US Department of Agriculture because it
might be contaminated with E coli.It was sold at Walmart's around the US.
No reports of confirmed illness. Andthe good news is it's not in
or it's not in California. It'snot one of the states. And they
give us a recall. I thinkit was the government said, the ones
(14:31):
that are labeled ninety three percent lean, seven percent fat all natural lean ground
beef, prime rib beef, steak, burger patties, beef with E coli
And you can pay a little extrafor that. You want that good E
coli marblewood, Yes, yeah,nice and fatty, real food guy.
(14:54):
Yes. Wouldn't you cook it out? Ok? Yeah, wouldn't you cook
it out? I believe you do. Would cook out at one sixty five.
But you don't want that's burnt meat. Yeah, you don't want to.
That's not the way you want to. Yeah. And they say this
and Neil correct me on this one. And it could still it contaminate other
parts of your refrigerator and it freezer. Before we take a break, I
(15:18):
sue vd as you do, yes, and we're talking about chicken products.
They don't say go anywhere near onehundred and sixty five. You can do
it. At one hundred and fortyfive one hundred and fifty totally different because
it's almost a reverse mentality. Ifyou walked out into a hundred degree weather,
you'd be hot. Now, ifyou stayed two hours in it,
(15:39):
you could die. But if youwalked out into two hundred degree weather,
you die. Okay, So it'sit's different. It's a lower temperature,
but for longer periods of time you'dstill get the same thing. But it
could it would be incredibly dangerous tomess with equal I Okay, that's we'll
be talking. We won't be talkingabout that on foody Friday. No,
or maybe we will maybe maybe?All right, TB by the Sea,
(16:02):
ladies and gentlemen, a tuberculosis outbreakamong residents in one of these single room
occupancy hotels in Long Beach has leftone person dead and you've got nine others
hospitalized. This is prompting the declarationof a public health emergency. Yeah,
big time there in Long Beach.And when doctor Jim comes board next Wednesday,
(16:26):
let's talk about this segment because thisis important. TB is no joke,
and it was virtually eradicated. It'smy mother, you've heard. I'm
sure you knew or maybe not.She was a lab tech when she came
to the United States, you know, in the mid fifties, and she
became a laboratory technician. Worked atAll of you Medical Center up in Silmar
Crash during the what is it theninety four was it ninety four earthquake?
(16:52):
I think so, yes, anyway, and it was a tuberculosis sanitarium at
that point. It was a countytuberculosis hospital. No one was there.
She had the best job in theworld. She was a lab tech and
she would go to the patients thatwere there, draw their blood and then
analyze the blood. Didn't have machinesin those days. There were three patients
(17:14):
that she dealt with at times threeshe would go and draw their blood and
she read books until five o'clock.And they didn't need it anymore. And
now this is big news, TB. I mean, this is kind of
crazy. How do you get tuberculosis? It's it's hard to get it's it
is contagious. It's not that easyto get. You have to be around
(17:36):
it. I think it's airborne.It is, as a matter of fact,
and it takes a while to getit. And no one has teav
I remember the test or the littleyeah, the little prickers like four dots.
I don't even think I don't eventhink they do that anymore. It's
so rare. But the people herethere, they're homeless, mentally ill,
substance abuse, medical comorbidity, comorbidity, which means they have other medical
(18:00):
problems, for example, kidneys thathave gone south. And you're looking at
me. I am looking at you, making me uncomfortable, sir kidney.
As a matter of fact, Neilis putting a swimming pool in his house,
and of course it's going to bekidney shaped. Yeah, and I'm
going to put a couple of stonesin it, thank you, Rodney Dangerfield.
(18:22):
Yes, So remember when the IRSgot all that new funding in the
Inflation Reduction Act. They're putting itto good use. I don't know.
The Internal Revenue Service has put outits plans to significantly ramp up audit rates
of wealthy taxpayers and large corporations.So taxpayers earning more than ten million dollars
(18:45):
are expected to see the number ofaudits go up by fifty percent. Wow,
because there's so many of us rightwho make ten million dollars or more
who the hell makes ten million dollarsor more that you even know. I
don't. It's not true. Iknow Ryan Seacrest, Okay, yeah,
I sort of know. He's anacquaintance. Okay, I'll buy that.
(19:06):
I know one. You don't.You don't got that kind of folding money?
No, Okay, Now I'm inthe wrong business. You have to
be in the Ryan Seacrest business toget that kind of money. Well,
try being an accessory to you.Then. Yeah, Universal Music Group,
you remember back, I think itwas in late January. A couple months
(19:27):
back, they pulled out a TikToksaying that they weren't making enough money.
The agreement was horrible. Well,UMG and TikTok have made up. They've
reached a new licensing agreement, andthis ends that month's long dispute and brings
the catalog, the Universal Music Groupa catalog back to the video platform.
(19:52):
All right, Well that had toend because everybody wants music. Now music
has only listened to on you know, on the and people use it for
their videos and that's a powerful tool. President Biden's making friends again. Not
so. He called our close allyjapan xenophobic at a fundraiser in Washington,
(20:18):
d C. Apparently, the Presidentmade the remark at the off camera event
while arguing that Japan, along withIndia, Russia, and China, would
perform better economically if the countries embracedimmigration more. Japan is one of the
most xenophobic society countries on the planetbecause they don't want a bunch of things
(20:38):
coming in. They don't want anybodyother than Japanese. Quick story, isn't
that okay? Well, to thisextent, I don't know. Japan's already
too crowded. Well depends, okay. I mean, Tokyo is certainly Kyoto
maybe, but you know, there'sa lot of land out there that is
not being used in Japan. Butthat's size the point. It is a
philosophy, it is culture for themto be incredibly xenophobic. The Japanese are
(21:03):
a very special people in their eyes, and they don't want it to be
deluded. I mean, it's thatcrazy. So here's a story before we
take a break. A lawyer thatI shared a suite with when I first
started practicing, Japanese American third generationhad never even been to Japan. His
(21:26):
girlfriend happened to be working on herMasters in Japanese studies. She spoke fluent,
dead ass Japanese. So he goesto Japan with her. They're walking
down the street and more than oncepeople were stopping them because here's a Japanese
with an American on the streets,and they look at him and literally say,
(21:49):
what are you doing with that barbarian? That's how they call foreigners barbarians.
I'm not kidding, And she wouldsay in dead fluent Japanese, he
doesn't speak a word of Japanese.Please don't call it a little barbaria.
Yeah, all right. China launchedan uncrude lunar mission Friday, and this
(22:12):
is super cool if you love thespace program. They aim to bring back
samples from the far side of theMoon for the first time, So major
step forward for the country's ambitious spaceprogram and just super cool to think that
they're going to bring samples from thefar side of the Moon. Pretty sophisticated
(22:33):
stuff. I mean, no oneelse has done that. They called the
Chang the changey six Probe. Originallyit was called the Mugo Gui Moon but
that didn't work out. No,no, I just wanted to pause for
all the laughter. There we go. There we go, We'll put it
in in post. Yeah. Hey, can I get that back please?
(22:57):
That's what Apple's saying. They announceda one hundred and ten billion dollars share
buy back. It's the largest incompany history, as iPhone sales declined ten
percent, the drop suggesting weak demandfor iPhone fifteen, which came out in
September. Their first quarter revenues andolt yesterday ninety point eight billion dollars.
(23:18):
Oh, it's down four percent.Yeah. Well, when corporations do buyback,
it's really interesting. Usually stock isdown, so they're able to get
it. It's somewhat of a discount, and it just makes the rest of
the stock more valuable. The companyactually becomes more valuable per share, and
that's the buyback, as the remainingshareholders all of a sudden, it's more
valuable. I wish I had Applestock to sell to anybody. Smart.
(23:44):
Smart. Yeah, what a roughstory or twist to this story. You
remember Britney Griner, basketball star.She said she considered suicide at the start
of her ninety year sentence. They'rein the Russian labor camp and that was
the result. Back in twenty twentytwo of her arrest near Moscow, for
(24:06):
carrying that small amount of cannabis oil. But she said she wanted to take
her life more than once in thefirst weeks. Yeah, it's rough to
be in those Russian prison camps,the gulags. It's just I mean,
they don't screw around. I mean, their prisons are serious prisons. You
know, it really gives you thatcompare and contrast of the freedoms and the
(24:30):
liberties we have here in the UnitedStates. When you're in a place like
that, well, our definition ofpoor is very different than you go to
Yemen, or you go to Brazilor Columbia. Their definition of poor.
Sure, it's our definition of pooris not people who are starving to death
on the streets in Brazil those what'sthere's a lot of poor, But what's
(24:52):
it that area that's it looks beautifulwhen you drive by it first, but
it's it's like h these oh yeah, the favelas, yeah, up on
the hill. Yeah yeah, oh, by the way, just real quickly.
It's not in the news, butCNN is reporting two things. The
defense of course, the Stormy Daniel'strial is continuing today, and that Trump
went, you know, Wednesday,when it was dark the court. He
(25:18):
did a campaign stop Trump did andgave pizzas to firefighters that were there.
Now, two things. Number One, it was clearly someone in the Trump
campaign came up with that. It'sgenius, bitch of the Biden people going
why didn't we think of that?And by the way, I want to
mention, I do believe that DonaldTrump that legitimately honors firefighters, so there's
(25:40):
no question that it was for him. It was not particularly a stunt.
I think it came from the heart, But politically it sort of was a
stunt in the fact that let's dothis, and someone in the Biden campaign
is kicking themselves in the ass sayingwhy didn't we think of that? I
think it was because Biden wanted tosend them ice cream. People thought that
(26:03):
was maybe not a best idea.Tell your moms and dads do not fall
for the fraud people older than sixty. I've lost more money and scams in
twenty twenty three than in twenty twentytwo, like eleven percent more three point
four billion dollars. And the numberone scam according to the FBI, usually
(26:29):
involves the scammers claiming to be supportfrom a legitimate company, letting the person
know that there's been fraudulent activity andor that they're going to get a refund
for a subscription service. And thenthey say, hey, we have a
refund for you, but the onlyway you can get it is to download
this software, which of course allowsthe scammer in to your bank account.
(26:52):
Yeah. Also, it's your grandchildis in prison somewhat travels in the field,
lppenes or whatever has been arrested,needs bail money, send it immediately.
I want to talk to her,because that's the first thing you do.
You can't. Yeah, that isa scam. I actually I had
that one hit on me. Is. I got called and I said,
(27:14):
you know, your daughter is inprison and we need ten thousand dollars.
I said, keeper, now Iten thousand dollars. I'm not interested.
I'll send you six if you keepher Wow. Yeah, that doesn't work
with you. So open AI.Then their chat GPT. We all know
about this at this point, butthey've got some serious competition. So the
(27:37):
company's rival, Anthropic, brings itsClaude chat bot to iPhones. Now,
so that means that their whole strategyis, we want the power of all
this stuff to be in people's hands. So this is not just convenience accessibility.
It's better yeah, better program.This tech is in and only getting
(28:00):
insane, it is. And chatgp T was the only one out well,
they have others, but they hadthe market. They had the market
like Tesla was the was the onlyone out there when serious ev started.
That was chat GPT. And nowit's just hard. I mean, you
don't want to know about who namedit though. Claude, Yeah, yeah,
(28:22):
that's interesting, Claude. I don'tnot Einstein, it's Clad Claude.
Yeah. And I'm here to cleanyour radiator. Now, I can understand
calling your bagels Einstein. I getthat makes sense mart bagels. Yeah,
and we're talking that Einstein bagels aremore dense. And and I replied,
(28:44):
yeah, that no one's ever calledEinstein dense. Yes, odd twist.
