You're listening to KFI AM six fortythe bill Handle Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. You are listening tothe bill Handle Show coming. And this
is KFI AM six forty bill HandleHere. It is a Tuesday morning.
(00:23):
We have a tech talk at eighto'clock with Rich Dumurrow and a couple of
fun topics we're doing this morning.One of them is welcoming up at seven
fifty and it's an important one andit has to do with shopping carts at
grocery stores. Do you just leavethem? Yesterday I had an experience and
(00:44):
I came so close to running overthat person who left the shopping cart right
in where I was going to park. It was just it was just horrible.
Okay, we're gonna do that lateron. But now this is fun,
you know how. I am,ever the optimist, and I'm always
warning you about you know, thebig one is coming. The big one
(01:07):
is coming. It's just a matterof time. And here is something.
If you have a reasonably long escroperiod, you're selling your house. The
day before closing, the big onecomes and it's your house. Okay,
I have even a worse big onefor you and it's not an earthquake,
(01:30):
it's a flood. What is thatabout. Well, we go to eighteen
sixty two, the Great Flood,the megaflood and killed four thousand people.
The Central Valley became a lake,a three hundred mile long lake sea,
(01:51):
and if it hits, it's goingto cause more devastation than the Big one
earthquake wise, up to a trilliondollars in damages. And so scientists have
figured this out with core samples actuallyfrom cal State Fullerton, and they have
identified two massive southern California floods wedidn't even know about in the last six
hundred years, and those were biggerthan the Great Flood. And so we
(02:17):
are looking at the possibility and thecore samples tells it that we have actually
had three major floods. One wassometime between fourteen seventy and sixteen forty,
so that's a couple hundred year orone hundred fifty years. The other one
between seventeen forty and eighteen hundred that'ssixty years. So we're due. And
(02:42):
so a couple of things that is, take a page from Celine Dion.
Let him take a kayak when theflooding happened. Get prepared. You know
how, you have emergency stores athome in case of the big earthquake,
you have several days worth of food. You have a crank radio, a
(03:05):
crank based radio, just the stuffwater to last several days at least.
Well, now, also an inflatableboat that you store in the garage and
be prepared for everybody basically dying anddrowning. So with that being said,
what do we have. We haveearthquakes, of course, the big one.
(03:29):
We're waiting for the big one nowI'm telling you, we're waiting for
the big flood, which is goingto even be more devastating. And what
else? We have wildfires? I'mgoing to start building an arc, Yeah
you should. And what are theother major major natural disasters? We have
traffic on the four or five,which is right up there in terms of
(03:50):
major disasters. And Southern California isstill one of the best places to live
in not only the United States worldbecause of the low taxes. Yeah,
because, oh yeah, that's theother thing. We have taxes, you
know why. The other day ofseventy two degrees and no humidity and it
(04:11):
is some of the best weather inthe world. So we're looking at.
I mean, what do you have. Let's go other places. What do
you have? Like in North Dakotayou've got the snow, brutal snow.
You have the moose stampedes that youhave to go inside your house. On
the East Coast you have hurricanes.Well, actually in the Gulf we have
(04:34):
a lot of hurricanes, and sometimeson the East Coast you have hurricanes.
And that's the southern East coast.So no matter where you live, Oh,
tornadoes along Tornado Alley. Now,there's a lot of reasons people kill
themselves. And I can understand thattruly, just being alive. Oh and
(04:57):
you'll never be able to afford ahouse too. You know what, Why
why would someone move to a placecalled Tornado Alley? Even an earthquake city?
Yeah, pretty close, you know. Yeah, And housing is impossible.
I promised my kids, and thisis an easy one that I don't
have to do. I promise mykids, if they ever buy a house,
(05:18):
I will put up the down payment. Okay, fair enough, So
I get the credit for being awonderful guy. They have to qualify for
the loan, which they never willunder any circumstances. So basically, the
money I've set aside is a savingsaccount for me, and I still get
the credit. It's like I getthe credit for the elevator. You know
(05:42):
my philosophy the elevator. Elevator doorsare closing and you immediate and someone's running
and you're just punching the panel.They think you're punching the open doors,
but you're not. You're actually punchingthe closed door button. You get the
credit for being a good guy ifno one comes in the elevator and screws
up your life because you don't wantsomeone to go into a floor below yours.
(06:04):
If you're going up, that's comeon, give me a break.
You're like the Leonardo da Vinci ofcreating new ways to be an ass.
Thank you. You have books andbooks of hand drawn schematics on how to
be an ass. Okay, Now, in terms of school, let me
tell you a story. Well,let me tell you what's going on.
(06:26):
California teachers are using AI more andmore to grade papers, particularly English papers.
Now who's grading the AI? Ihave found the biggest burnout in the
school systems among teachers are English teachers. And why is that? Well,
(06:48):
because English teachers have to take homeand do so much homework. Let's say
a paper is assigned to the class, Well, the teacher has to bring
them home and read every single oneand analyze and make notes and give a
grade. I mean that is crazy. Making for teachers is twice the work.
(07:13):
Now, for example, what shopteachers, that's easy. All you
do is give up, give upa finger or two and you don't go
home and do homework or time ofteaching homework. So AI has kicked in
to grade students. And what doesthat mean, Well, exactly what I
said about papers. You have aclass of thirty five students and they're given
(07:36):
an essay to write, which happensin English. Of course, that's part
of English course. And now insteadof the teacher reading everyone, grading everyone,
making notes, looking at grammar.And the more involved the teacher is,
the better the teacher, The moreengaged the teacher is, the more
(08:01):
sophisticated, or certainly the more timethat a teacher spends in grading those papers.
And this is just an example ofI think the teachers that are most
affected by AI are helped the most. So you have AI that now is
looking at grammar. Okay, that'sa fairly easy one. So teachers don't
(08:24):
have to worry about grammar analysis,depth of thinking, coherence, ability to
put ideas on paper using factual content. I mean it goes on and on,
and a teacher, a good teacher, is going to do all of
(08:46):
that, and it takes time anda lot of time. I remember English
teachers and the notes on the marginswould just go on and on, and
I'd have paragraphs or lines scratched out, and the team wrote, this is
the proper way of doing it.Well, AI does all of that,
so it's brilliant. However, andNeil and I talked about this. AI
(09:11):
also tells us Uh sometimes to putmake pizzas with glue. Yeah. Well
that you know where they pulled thatfrom is some kid had written a story
about pizza and said to keep thecheese on, you could use glue.
And when it you know, AIwas asked about making pizzas and stuff like
(09:31):
that, it pulled that out.Yeah. And when you talk if AI
is pulling everything that's ever written andusing that analysis, I mean, the
stuff is scary. In Uh,it's in the depth of AI. We
have no idea where it's going.I mean, just I don't begin to
understand it, nor do you whereit's going to go, nor do the
guys who created AI know where it'sgoing to go. Matter of fact,
(09:56):
there have been interviews with the creatorscreators of these major A Eye programs,
and they're saying, we need guardrails. We don't know what's going to
happen. Hey, I'm still takenaback by the fact you had an English
teacher. Thank you very much.I actually did fine in English. I
used to. Actually no grammar,I know grammar, I know I speak
(10:18):
words. Yeah, I know,I know all about grammar. Comma.
It is their guard period. WhenI comma, look at grammar. See
that's wrong, because you can't havea common there. When I look at
grammar, then you have the comma, and then you have the semi colon.
I have never understood that other thanin a surgical context. Oh,
(10:41):
and capitals are important because if you'rehelping your uncle jack off a horse,
you want to know by the capital. Okay, we're going in. This
is my job to go off onthese tangents, Neil, not yours.
Okay, there's only one's allowed todo that, and you're looking at them
score o k now the point I'mmaking with using a I is that it
(11:07):
has become so simple. Do youreally need teachers? Well, of course
you do, but there's no realface to face teacher with the papers.
Same thing with mathematics, it's alittle easier because they're either right or wrong.
However, I remember geometry not onlydid you need the answer, but
you had to get there and showhow you got there. And with AI,
(11:31):
this gets interesting. They're going tobe able to grade papers. You
know how many different ways you canget to an answer via via the different
kinds of math? Again, howdoes the teach your grade? It's we're
going in a direction we have neverknown. And by the way, just
a quick aside here, we don'tknow where it's going. We really don't
(11:56):
know how good a job it does. Because teachers are nougrading it school district
after school district across the US,especially California, they have cut deals contracts
with these AI companies by the hundredsof millions of dollars across the board to
use AI as a teaching tool,and they really don't know enough about it,
(12:18):
but they're all jumping on the bandwagon. AI now is used across the
board. It is just involved ineverything other than this show, because we
don't want this show to number one, be correct in its facts. Number
two, be correct and correct inthe analysis of those facts. And number
(12:39):
three, remove the depravity because itmakes absolutely no sense when we go off
in tangents, which is why weare protected from AI scary stuff, though
it really is. And maybe teacherswon't get burned out English teachers because there
are too many. That's the otherissue, and we'll talk about that at
some other time. And that iswhy teachers are so burned out. All
(13:03):
right? Oh yeah, psychedelics good, good choice of music. Ono Bill
Handle here on a Tuesday morning,June four, And I want to get
into this psychedelic story. And thisis out of the Atlantic. And I
(13:28):
have done LSD a few times inmy life. It's been a few years
to say the least. Early eightieswas the last time. And it was
for me. It was recreational becauseI was doing every drug in the world.
And when I did LSD. Didyou guys know that spiders can talk?
You probably didn't. I found outthey can, and lots of them.
(13:52):
Did you know that sitting in abathtub full of water, the water
doesn't stay warm? Especially if you'rein, if you're in for four hours.
I discovered that one too. Now, psychedelics for a long time were
viewed as a possibility for PTSD usingit. There was science there and there
(14:16):
was testing. Their federal government firstgot involved. Actually it was the CIA
that got involved and would take testsubjects and not tell them because they thought
somehow there was some national security issueswith that. So it has evolved to
the point where it has a lotof promise with PTSD, particularly soldiers as
(14:39):
they're dealing with that and they're inheavy therapy and add psychedelics. That looks
good. But here's the fundamental flaw, not with the psychedelics themselves, but
in figuring out how much do theyreally help what it looks like they do
how much? And the only wayyou can do it is medical testing.
And what is the gold standard ofmedical testing? What is the the FDA
(15:01):
do whenever there is a new drug. Well, the last tests, the
human trials are double blind studies.Double blind studies mean you take two groups
of people. One group has thedrug, the other group does not.
As the placebo drug or the placeboit's not placebo effect, it is the
(15:24):
placebo and the testers, the peoplewho administer don't know which group has the
drug. That's the double blind studyand no one really knows at all.
And then they look at did ithelp? Did it bring down infection rate?
Did it bring down cancer rate?Was their all longevity? I mean,
(15:45):
any drug that's out there, Andso double blind studies are mandatory.
How do you do double blind studieswith a psychedelic You can't because the people
that are taking the placebo aren't goingout of their minds and talking to spiders
like I did, or watching rainbows, you know, coming out of people's
(16:08):
heads and listening to music that isnot there. And the people that are
taking the psychedelics, and by theway, they're not told that which drug
they're taking sort of big picture theyare. You think they don't know that
they're on an LSD or an ecstasyhigh or an MDA high. See that's
(16:32):
the problem. So can you reallytest this drug? No? Not really,
But are we not going to takeadvantage of a drug that is very
powerful and it looks like it isextraordinarily useful and beneficial, particularly for people
who are suffering from PTSD because thatthey figured out anecdotally, they figured that
(16:59):
out because again, you can't dodouble blind studies. Anecdotally, the stories,
the medical stories are that when adoctor or a group of physicians uses
or psychologists uses LSD or any kindof psychedelics, particularly MDMA on patients who
(17:19):
have severe PTSD, guess what itis helpful? How helpful? They don't
know because we know I have doubleblind studies. Why don't we have double
blind studies? Because it's impossible toadminister with a psychedelic so they have to
figure out another way of doing thisand asking for FDA approval. That's going
(17:41):
to get really interesting, I meanreally interesting. Now psychedelics right now are
illegal, although state after state islooking at legalizing ecstasy or MDMA, and
I just want to point out,and I don't take it, but I'll
tell you, you're going to knowwhen I am experimenting with that drug.
(18:06):
I'm going to come on the airand I'm going to tell all of you
Kno and Neil and Amy and Annhow much I love you and how important
you are to my life, andhow I can't live without you. I
love you so much. That isso many red flags. By the way,
(18:26):
that's not much of an exaggeration interms of what MDMA does. Either,
all of a sudden, life ismuch more beautiful, life is more
enjoyable, which is why I willnever take that drug. I am just
(18:47):
not interested in telling all of youthat I love you and you're great.
That is not going to happen inthis lifetime. We would roll tape and
play it over and over. Iknow, I know it would. That's
the promo of the decade here onKFI. All right now, I want
to tell you about a post thathappened on TikTok and Instagram last week.
(19:11):
There is a clinical psychologist who,well, the issue had to be with
whether or not you take that shoppingcart and you put it in its shopping
cart area, and she said no, she puts this up. There is
(19:32):
the post, and I'm going toquote I'm not returning my shopping cart and
you can judge me all you want. I'm not getting my groceries into the
car, getting my children in thecar, and then leaving them in the
car to go return the cart.And if you're going to give me a
dirty look, f off with heractually saying that or posting that. Well,
(19:53):
I started a little bit of backlash, didn't it. How about eleven
million views. How about response,you're an entitled mom, you are lazy,
you are a Karen. Why don'tyou take your kids and lock the
car for those moments and put theair on and or put the window down
(20:15):
a little bit and put the cartaway, because it is a it's horrific
for the rest of us. Ishop at Routes just down the street from
my house, and there are twoplaces you can put the cart right near
the front of the door, andif you're parked, you know, back
(20:37):
in the back or even in themiddle of the parking lot. Man,
you're walking with that cart, you'removing it forward, and there you are
with an empty cart, and it'sit's a drag, it really is.
You go to Costco and there's Ithink one or two places and that entire
parking lot for carts. I meanit is. I am hard to find
(21:00):
a lot now, a parking spacefor those carts. Now it happens to
be that Costco has people running aroundand there's tons of people picking up the
carts. But what do people do. They leave them in parking spaces,
They leave them on the side,and you take your car and you don't
have room or there's an empty parkingspace and there are four carts in front
(21:22):
of you and you can't park,and you really want to do some serious,
serious injury. You want to causeserious injury to whoever left that cart
there. Okay, So with thatin mind, and here is are you
ready for this? Here is somethingI hate to admit. I absolutely hate
this calendar. This please okay.Tuesday, June four, just before eight
(21:48):
o'clock, Handle admits he does takea shopping cart and put it in his
place. Yeah, I actually dothat. I don't know why. Maybe
I'm on LSD when I take itor m D m A and I love
everybody. I don't know. Sosurvey says, Amy, you already said
(22:11):
you do put the cart away.Yes I do. Okay. Neil,
always one of my biggest pet peeves, can't stand that people don't do it.
Yeah, liar uh, Coono,not a chance, not a chance.
So Cono is the only honest onehere, and that they can actually
(22:32):
get closer to the shopping cart.In my head, there you are,
and yeah, I do you knowfor some reason all of us except Kno
are lying during the segment. Andyou know what, if you have issues,
I get it your mom, yougot kids all that, then park
by the store. There's no parkingby the cart return. What if there
(23:00):
is no parking, I just madeI just did the I began the monologue
with that. This is the beginningof the breakdown of society. It's like
trash on the street, broken windows. You never have shot at Costco.
You shop at Costco, we go, but you don't have a choice.
(23:22):
When you go to Costco. Youcan't say, oh, look there's a
cart return, I'm going to parkthere. You just got to take away.
You can get at Costco. Listen, Yeah, they don't have cart
return if you're not very rare,I mean you you know, and Costco
parking is I mean constantly constantly jam, which is why I have the fake
handicap placard that which I literally usedto feel us all the time. There
(23:48):
you just circle and you find aplace and you'll be fine. Come on,
nor by the way. It's agenuine issue. It is a real
thing, and people are here's probablyit's one of those things that people lie
about it. Ask how many peoplevoted for John F. Kennedy, everybody,
(24:11):
right, please? How many peoplevoted for Barack Obama? Everybody,
or at least everybody who's out ofsuper conservative. That's not true either.
So ask how many people who saythey return their carts. Everybody says that,
you know what? And I betKono is a law and order guy,
(24:32):
but man, when it comes tohis cart, you know what that
rebellion is. Okay, so letme ask you a question. Okay,
I'm gonna ask you a question.And I don't know the answer to this.
CONO, are you a gun guy? I mean, do you have
guns at home? Okay? Youdo? Neil? You do you have
weapons at home? I am willingto do whatever it takes to protect my
(24:52):
family, sir, fair enough?And weapons at home? Big ones?
Okay, a big one. Ihave big ones, but not weapons and
aircraft missiles. I amy, doyou have weapons at home? Wouldn't tell
you if I didn't. Okay,now I don't, and I admit that.
And the reason I don't is becauseI shop at Costco and there's no
(25:18):
cart returns, and I know howangry I would get when someone is taking
that damn parking space with a cart. Okay, we're done. You know
what. If you're this is gonnamake you nuts. I'm telling everybody out
there leave them your cart. Ifyou can't find the cart, return in
(25:41):
the handicap area, So people likeHandle can't out there. Do you know
what, By the way, thisis true. You know why I don't
have guns. I don't. Idon't have weapons because I had one right
after the Rodney King riots. Ibought them, you know, and then
went to the and I had togo to the shooting range, which with
an instructor, and as as Iwas shooting the gun, I had the
(26:03):
whole time an uncontrollable erection and itwas And I went to a shrink about
that, and she said, there'ssome real issues here. You may want
to reconsider this whole gun ownership.I think it's funny that when you deal
with your genitalia you have to seea shrink. That's true. You know,
that's another story, which we'll shareanother day, another time. KFI

(00:23):
We have a tech talk at eighto'clock with Rich Dumurrow and a couple of

(00:44):
I came so close to running overthat person who left the shopping cart right

you know how. I am,ever the optimist, and I'm always

You're like the Leonardo da Vinci ofcreating new ways to be an ass.
Thank you. You have books andbooks of hand drawn schematics on how to

(06:48):
because English teachers have to take homeand do so much homework. Let's say

affected by AI are helped the most. So you have AI that now is
looking at grammar. Okay, that'sa fairly easy one. So teachers don't
(08:24):
have to worry about grammar analysis,depth of thinking, coherence, ability to
put ideas on paper using factual content. I mean it goes on and on,
and a teacher, a good teacher, is going to do all of
(08:46):
that, and it takes time anda lot of time. I remember English
teachers and the notes on the marginswould just go on and on, and
I'd have paragraphs or lines scratched out, and the team wrote, this is
the proper way of doing it.Well, AI does all of that,
so it's brilliant. However, andNeil and I talked about this. AI
(09:11):
also tells us Uh sometimes to putmake pizzas with glue. Yeah. Well
that you know where they pulled thatfrom is some kid had written a story
about pizza and said to keep thecheese on, you could use glue.
And when it you know, AIwas asked about making pizzas and stuff like
(09:31):
that, it pulled that out.Yeah. And when you talk if AI
is pulling everything that's ever written andusing that analysis, I mean, the
stuff is scary. In Uh,it's in the depth of AI. We
have no idea where it's going.I mean, just I don't begin to
understand it, nor do you whereit's going to go, nor do the
guys who created AI know where it'sgoing to go. Matter of fact,
(09:56):
there have been interviews with the creatorscreators of these major A Eye programs,
and they're saying, we need guardrails. We don't know what's going to
happen. Hey, I'm still takenaback by the fact you had an English
teacher. Thank you very much.I actually did fine in English. I
used to. Actually no grammar,I know grammar, I know I speak
(10:18):
words. Yeah, I know,I know all about grammar. Comma.
It is their guard period. WhenI comma, look at grammar. See
that's wrong, because you can't havea common there. When I look at
grammar, then you have the comma, and then you have the semi colon.
I have never understood that other thanin a surgical context. Oh,
(10:41):
and capitals are important because if you'rehelping your uncle jack off a horse,
you want to know by the capital. Okay, we're going in. This
is my job to go off onthese tangents, Neil, not yours.
Okay, there's only one's allowed todo that, and you're looking at them
score o k now the point I'mmaking with using a I is that it
(11:07):
has become so simple. Do youreally need teachers? Well, of course
you do, but there's no realface to face teacher with the papers.
Same thing with mathematics, it's alittle easier because they're either right or wrong.
However, I remember geometry not onlydid you need the answer, but
you had to get there and showhow you got there. And with AI,
(11:31):
this gets interesting. They're going tobe able to grade papers. You
know how many different ways you canget to an answer via via the different
kinds of math? Again, howdoes the teach your grade? It's we're
going in a direction we have neverknown. And by the way, just
a quick aside here, we don'tknow where it's going. We really don't
(11:56):
know how good a job it does. Because teachers are nougrading it school district
after school district across the US,especially California, they have cut deals contracts
with these AI companies by the hundredsof millions of dollars across the board to
use AI as a teaching tool,and they really don't know enough about it,
(12:18):
but they're all jumping on the bandwagon. AI now is used across the
board. It is just involved ineverything other than this show, because we
don't want this show to number one, be correct in its facts. Number
two, be correct and correct inthe analysis of those facts. And number
(12:39):
three, remove the depravity because itmakes absolutely no sense when we go off
in tangents, which is why weare protected from AI scary stuff, though
it really is. And maybe teacherswon't get burned out English teachers because there
are too many. That's the otherissue, and we'll talk about that at
some other time. And that iswhy teachers are so burned out. All
(13:03):
right? Oh yeah, psychedelics good, good choice of music. Ono Bill
Handle here on a Tuesday morning,June four, And I want to get
into this psychedelic story. And thisis out of the Atlantic. And I
(13:28):
have done LSD a few times inmy life. It's been a few years
to say the least. Early eightieswas the last time. And it was
for me. It was recreational becauseI was doing every drug in the world.
And when I did LSD. Didyou guys know that spiders can talk?
You probably didn't. I found outthey can, and lots of them.
(13:52):
Did you know that sitting in abathtub full of water, the water
doesn't stay warm? Especially if you'rein, if you're in for four hours.
I discovered that one too. Now, psychedelics for a long time were
viewed as a possibility for PTSD usingit. There was science there and there
(14:16):
was testing. Their federal government firstgot involved. Actually it was the CIA
that got involved and would take testsubjects and not tell them because they thought
somehow there was some national security issueswith that. So it has evolved to
the point where it has a lotof promise with PTSD, particularly soldiers as
(14:39):
they're dealing with that and they're inheavy therapy and add psychedelics. That looks
good. But here's the fundamental flaw, not with the psychedelics themselves, but
in figuring out how much do theyreally help what it looks like they do
how much? And the only wayyou can do it is medical testing.
And what is the gold standard ofmedical testing? What is the the FDA
(15:01):
do whenever there is a new drug. Well, the last tests, the
human trials are double blind studies.Double blind studies mean you take two groups
of people. One group has thedrug, the other group does not.
As the placebo drug or the placeboit's not placebo effect, it is the
(15:24):
placebo and the testers, the peoplewho administer don't know which group has the
drug. That's the double blind studyand no one really knows at all.
And then they look at did ithelp? Did it bring down infection rate?
Did it bring down cancer rate?Was their all longevity? I mean,
(15:45):
any drug that's out there, Andso double blind studies are mandatory.
How do you do double blind studieswith a psychedelic You can't because the people
that are taking the placebo aren't goingout of their minds and talking to spiders
like I did, or watching rainbows, you know, coming out of people's
(16:08):
heads and listening to music that isnot there. And the people that are
taking the psychedelics, and by theway, they're not told that which drug
they're taking sort of big picture theyare. You think they don't know that
they're on an LSD or an ecstasyhigh or an MDA high. See that's
(16:32):
the problem. So can you reallytest this drug? No? Not really,
But are we not going to takeadvantage of a drug that is very
powerful and it looks like it isextraordinarily useful and beneficial, particularly for people
who are suffering from PTSD because thatthey figured out anecdotally, they figured that
(16:59):
out because again, you can't dodouble blind studies. Anecdotally, the stories,
the medical stories are that when adoctor or a group of physicians uses
or psychologists uses LSD or any kindof psychedelics, particularly MDMA on patients who
(17:19):
have severe PTSD, guess what itis helpful? How helpful? They don't
know because we know I have doubleblind studies. Why don't we have double
blind studies? Because it's impossible toadminister with a psychedelic so they have to
figure out another way of doing thisand asking for FDA approval. That's going
(17:41):
to get really interesting, I meanreally interesting. Now psychedelics right now are
illegal, although state after state islooking at legalizing ecstasy or MDMA, and
I just want to point out,and I don't take it, but I'll
tell you, you're going to knowwhen I am experimenting with that drug.
(18:06):
I'm going to come on the airand I'm going to tell all of you
Kno and Neil and Amy and Annhow much I love you and how important
you are to my life, andhow I can't live without you. I
love you so much. That isso many red flags. By the way,
(18:26):
that's not much of an exaggeration interms of what MDMA does. Either,
all of a sudden, life ismuch more beautiful, life is more
enjoyable, which is why I willnever take that drug. I am just
(18:47):
not interested in telling all of youthat I love you and you're great.
That is not going to happen inthis lifetime. We would roll tape and
play it over and over. Iknow, I know it would. That's
the promo of the decade here onKFI. All right now, I want
to tell you about a post thathappened on TikTok and Instagram last week.
(19:11):
There is a clinical psychologist who,well, the issue had to be with
whether or not you take that shoppingcart and you put it in its shopping
cart area, and she said no, she puts this up. There is
(19:32):
the post, and I'm going toquote I'm not returning my shopping cart and
you can judge me all you want. I'm not getting my groceries into the
car, getting my children in thecar, and then leaving them in the
car to go return the cart.And if you're going to give me a
dirty look, f off with heractually saying that or posting that. Well,
(19:53):
I started a little bit of backlash, didn't it. How about eleven
million views. How about response,you're an entitled mom, you are lazy,
you are a Karen. Why don'tyou take your kids and lock the
car for those moments and put theair on and or put the window down
(20:15):
a little bit and put the cartaway, because it is a it's horrific
for the rest of us. Ishop at Routes just down the street from
my house, and there are twoplaces you can put the cart right near
the front of the door, andif you're parked, you know, back
(20:37):
in the back or even in themiddle of the parking lot. Man,
you're walking with that cart, you'removing it forward, and there you are
with an empty cart, and it'sit's a drag, it really is.
You go to Costco and there's Ithink one or two places and that entire
parking lot for carts. I meanit is. I am hard to find
(21:00):
a lot now, a parking spacefor those carts. Now it happens to
be that Costco has people running aroundand there's tons of people picking up the
carts. But what do people do. They leave them in parking spaces,
They leave them on the side,and you take your car and you don't
have room or there's an empty parkingspace and there are four carts in front
(21:22):
of you and you can't park,and you really want to do some serious,
serious injury. You want to causeserious injury to whoever left that cart
there. Okay, So with thatin mind, and here is are you
ready for this? Here is somethingI hate to admit. I absolutely hate
this calendar. This please okay.Tuesday, June four, just before eight
(21:48):
o'clock, Handle admits he does takea shopping cart and put it in his
place. Yeah, I actually dothat. I don't know why. Maybe
I'm on LSD when I take itor m D m A and I love
everybody. I don't know. Sosurvey says, Amy, you already said
(22:11):
you do put the cart away.Yes I do. Okay. Neil,
always one of my biggest pet peeves, can't stand that people don't do it.
Yeah, liar uh, Coono,not a chance, not a chance.
So Cono is the only honest onehere, and that they can actually
(22:32):
get closer to the shopping cart.In my head, there you are,
and yeah, I do you knowfor some reason all of us except Kno
are lying during the segment. Andyou know what, if you have issues,
I get it your mom, yougot kids all that, then park
by the store. There's no parkingby the cart return. What if there
(23:00):
is no parking, I just madeI just did the I began the monologue
with that. This is the beginningof the breakdown of society. It's like
trash on the street, broken windows. You never have shot at Costco.
You shop at Costco, we go, but you don't have a choice.
(23:22):
When you go to Costco. Youcan't say, oh, look there's a
cart return, I'm going to parkthere. You just got to take away.
You can get at Costco. Listen, Yeah, they don't have cart
return if you're not very rare,I mean you you know, and Costco
parking is I mean constantly constantly jam, which is why I have the fake
handicap placard that which I literally usedto feel us all the time. There
(23:48):
you just circle and you find aplace and you'll be fine. Come on,
nor by the way. It's agenuine issue. It is a real
thing, and people are here's probablyit's one of those things that people lie
about it. Ask how many peoplevoted for John F. Kennedy, everybody,
(24:11):
right, please? How many peoplevoted for Barack Obama? Everybody,
or at least everybody who's out ofsuper conservative. That's not true either.
So ask how many people who saythey return their carts. Everybody says that,
you know what? And I betKono is a law and order guy,
(24:32):
but man, when it comes tohis cart, you know what that
rebellion is. Okay, so letme ask you a question. Okay,
I'm gonna ask you a question.And I don't know the answer to this.
CONO, are you a gun guy? I mean, do you have
guns at home? Okay? Youdo? Neil? You do you have
weapons at home? I am willingto do whatever it takes to protect my
(24:52):
family, sir, fair enough?And weapons at home? Big ones?
Okay, a big one. Ihave big ones, but not weapons and
aircraft missiles. I amy, doyou have weapons at home? Wouldn't tell
you if I didn't. Okay,now I don't, and I admit that.
And the reason I don't is becauseI shop at Costco and there's no
(25:18):
cart returns, and I know howangry I would get when someone is taking
that damn parking space with a cart. Okay, we're done. You know
what. If you're this is gonnamake you nuts. I'm telling everybody out
there leave them your cart. Ifyou can't find the cart, return in
(25:41):
the handicap area, So people likeHandle can't out there. Do you know
what, By the way, thisis true. You know why I don't
have guns. I don't. Idon't have weapons because I had one right
after the Rodney King riots. Ibought them, you know, and then
went to the and I had togo to the shooting range, which with
an instructor, and as as Iwas shooting the gun, I had the
(26:03):
whole time an uncontrollable erection and itwas And I went to a shrink about
that, and she said, there'ssome real issues here. You may want
to reconsider this whole gun ownership.I think it's funny that when you deal
with your genitalia you have to seea shrink. That's true. You know,
that's another story, which we'll shareanother day, another time. KFI
