to listen to Mariachi music, I'llgo to a concert. You know.
I don't want you over my table. Also, the people that sell roses,
oh my god. So if I'mgoing out to dinner, for example,
I don't care who I'm with.Little photographer lady comes up, Oh
you want to take a picture andgo no, we're married, but to
(03:06):
other people and they have no ideawe're here, and I digress with a
happy birthday at restaurants and I gocrazy. A matter of fact, later
on we are going to talk aboutrestaurants at seven thirty with me. You
know, you're just a very funguy. I am a fun guy,
warm, fuzzy, I am.Yeah, I just you know, not
(03:29):
only I've often said this. Theglass is always half empty in my life
with a hole at the bottom,so water is pouring out the bottom.
I think she meant fun guy anyway, right, No, but it's you
know, it's like a mold ora sticky I mean, as sticky as
that is. I do have aproblem going to restaurants with the waiters singing
(03:50):
happy birthday. Now usually I hatejoy and flowers and puppies and rainbows.
Yeah, I mean yeah. Mexicanrestaurants Happy bed they do joo, happy
bedday, told you, And it'salways happy bedday, Ponte because they don't
know your name, and no oneasks, Okay, that's worth an email?
(04:10):
Is that an HR complaint? Uh? We do have a couple of
Hispanics in the building. No,well you're looking at one of them.
Yeah, two of them, andwe prefer to you know, your turn
your body white for a Hispanic.I'm pretty white. She's pretty red for
Hispanic. Yeah, that's true.I'm you're going to ask whether that red
(04:32):
hair is natural or not? Isit natural? Happy? Thank you?
Well yeah, he went on atangent about Anne's birthday that had nothing to
do with Anne. It was fascinatingsix oh eight, Happy birthday, and
we love you. Thank you formy little message. Yeah, yeah,
(04:57):
it's uh. I'll tell you justwhen HR Departments came into being, that
was the destroyer of worlds. Exactlywhat Oppenheimer said when he saw the atomic
bomb go off in New Mexico.When the first tests he looked at the
BOMBNI goes, Wow, HR Departmentsthe destroyer of worlds. You know,
(05:21):
we didn't have an HR Department untilyou got mornings. So all right,
you guys ready to do it.It's Friday. It is Friday. We
are not that we don't do thisthe other days of the week, but
it's always I think that where westart the show is always the most fun
on Friday mornings because we just goout of our minds. We really do
(05:44):
for us of the audience. Ohno, we do. No, No,
Amy, you're there, you're there. Yeah, No, you're there.
Okay, guys, ready to doit? Handle on the news,
Amy Neil and me lead story,accuse it. And this is exactly what
we talked about where that sc studentfatally stabbed a burglary suspect. He was
(06:04):
arrested, and now the DA saysthis kid is not going to be charged.
Nineteen years old and he and hisfriend are coming outside. They see
what appears to be a someone breakinginto his car, goes up there,
they have an altercation. He pullsout a knife. The suspect says,
(06:26):
I have a gun, and accordingto the witness fellow that was with the
nineteen year old saying, he thenreached into his waistband. And I said,
that was an interesting one because I'lltell you what the defense is going
to be, and that is he'sreasonably reasonably felt his life was in danger
(06:46):
and his self defense. That's exactlywhat happened. You know, if we're
not going to be protected, wehave to be able to protect ourselves.
And I'm not saying you have togo out there and be batman, But
go ahead and have the ability.You can't tell us we we can't protect
ourselves and not have No, it'sabsolutely true. You are allowed. Self
(07:08):
defense is legitimate. And then instates like you stand your ground, uh,
and the castle concept or the castleview offending your castle, defending your
castle. So for example, ifyou see someone breaking into the dog house
in the backyard, you can shootthem in the back of the head because
it is your castle on your property. So they don't have to do that.
(07:30):
California, by the way, whatdo they have to be? I
thought you couldn't shoot at them unlessthey were facing you or something. Christ
Well, yeah, it has todo with a threat. It has to
do with a breaking and entering.That's a crime. And you are except
in Texas, even if your lifeis not in danger, someone just breaking
in your house, you can startshooting. Now, tell me you're not
(07:53):
in danger. If somebody's breaking intoyour house, that's and that's what they're
breaking into your house. To makeunderstand, I understand that. However,
the concept as in California, yourlife has to be in danger. It's
a question of just degree, that'sall. And you have states where pro
gun states and it really does breakdown politically, and that is there's a
(08:18):
lot more leeway in pro gun statesin terms of in terms of some shooting
someone that breaks into your house.You know, for a long time,
I was the person they'd call ifsomebody erratic or displeasing showed up at the
station, and I would go andmeet them. And I had law enforcement
(08:41):
tell me what I could do andnot do. And you know, they
said, hey, if you doX, Y and Z, we're going
to back you. But if itgoes beyond that, but that's also a
public location that is not your home, and there's a very very big difference.
But yeah, he prized what Iwas able. I know, well,
we've had people come in. Imet people that somehow made it on
(09:03):
the floor and walked up to meand I just kept on pointing to someone
else over there. Over there.He would look taken the walk fight and
said, mister Handle. No,no, not me, that's mister Handle
right there. Now the security haschanged since then, but back in the
day. Hearkening back to twenty thirteen, we too low. The Federal Aviation
(09:26):
Administration is investigating a Southwest Airlines flightthat descended to just five hundred and twenty
five feet above ground as it wasapproaching will Rogers World Airport just after midnight
Wednesday. That triggered an altitude warningand then you can hear air traffic Control
going, you guys out there,and then they stopped descending. After it
(09:46):
got to that level. It climbedbriefly and then maneuvered for a successful landing.
But it does remind me of thatflight, the Agiana flight that yeahd
San Francisco and came in too lowand then nish is that is worth watching
on YouTube. It's Asiana Airport orAsiana Airlines San Francisco Airport, and it
(10:13):
was that I don't know the nameof the broadcaster, but it could be
the funniest broadcast It was on TV. It was on just astoundingly hilarious,
the funniest thing I've ever seen onYouTube. Well, you know, and
I know that the first response ispeople are going to be thinking of the
racist aspect, but that the funniestpart is that in a modern world,
(10:35):
that somebody didn't proof read or thatit got past Oh no, I think
no. From what I understand,it was an intern that purposely did it.
That's that's what I understand that inany case. And then the other
point I want to make on afar more serious note, is this is
the second go round we just hadlast week playing going too Low and the
(10:56):
number of close calls, and Igotta tell you it's just a question of
time. We've had so many thatwe are on the precipice of a next
major disaster. There's no question inmy mind. And for the first time
in my adult life, come October, I'm on an airplane. I'm leaving
for a vacation on a plane.First time in my adult life, I
am really concerned about safety on anairplane. First time. Something's going to
(11:22):
happen. It has to, it'sbeen. There's too many, too many
float close calls. There's too manyairplanes that have all kinds of mechanical problems
well fires. As your crew,we will be here thinking the best thoughts
and gambling on the overunder of youdying. Yeah, I mean, I
just legitimately, it's it's become scary. There are just way too many close
(11:46):
calls and incidents. Is like this, and the last thing you want is
an you know, air controller trafficair controller going uh, hello you guys,
good out there, yeah, areyou okay? Awake? Ye crazy?
All right? Mortgage rates fell thisweek to their lowest levels since early
April. That puts the standard thirtyyear fixed rate mortgage average at about six
(12:11):
point eighty seven. That is downfrom the six point nine to five average,
and that is down that was downfrom the earlier peak of seven point
two two. So that's all goodnews, except that we have not forgotten
three percent money yet, and that'sthe problem. And so it's just a
(12:33):
question of time when we find thatsix percent is about the average mortgage rate
and has been historically, that's whatwe're kind of used to. And then
for twenty five years or twenty years, we got three percent money, and
so everybody is cheering that it's gonedown to six point eight seven percent,
which is still at Well, letme ask you, Neil, you're sitting
(12:54):
on a mortgage rate of what twopoint eight percent? Yeah, both places?
Okay, do you find uh,would you find six point eight seven
percent just hugely horrifically expensive on amortgage? You know what, you taught
me something really great sometime ago,and that was not to look at a
(13:15):
car as a investment, but asa utility. Right, you told me
you just got it. You're gonnaneed a car, so you just got
a kind of thing. And andif you want a house, you got
to just eat those things and say, Okay, this is going to be
part of it. And if itchanges the way I look at it,
if it changes, then you refinance, which we had we did three times
(13:37):
or more thanks to Lisa Ali bythe way, at Summit Lending. But
if it doesn't, then are younever going to buy a house? So
you're kind well, I'm gonna doyou either have to do it or you
don't. Yeah, there's a storyabout that, but let's continue on because
we've got a lot to cover.Guess who gets the last word. Former
(14:00):
President Trump will get the final wordin next week's debate. The coin they
did a coin flip and Biden wonthe coin flip, so they got to
pick whether they wanted to select whichpodium that Biden would stand that or what
the order of closing statements would be, and Biden's people chose podium placement.
(14:24):
Yes, I would do the samething because Donald Trump having the last word
is the same of him as havingthe first word, the second word,
the middle word. Because it's theyand for the first time. Thank goodness,
the moderators will be able to cutthe microphone off when it's not one
(14:45):
of the candidates turned to speak.If you remember the last debate, especially
during the Hillary debate, I'm screamingat the moderators. Not a Donald Trump
who kept on interrupting. That's justwho he is. You know, there's
no hidden agenda with this. Weknow how he operated. It's just it's
a presidential debate, you know,are you really going to let interruptions happen?
(15:05):
So Mike goes off. I lovethat. What about that creepy thing
that Trump did where he walked behindHillary? You're hilarious. You can't do
like peacefully? Photo bombs. Moderatorsare a bunch of whimps. They no
control whatsoever. It seems like likea hard gate. Hey did the Biden
(15:26):
people pick the podium that was closestto the entry? Uh So that's I
once moderated. I once moderated acongressional race, a debate, and I
brought in one of those error horns, you know the kind that you have
on the can that blows, Yeah, that blows people's ears out, and
(15:48):
I play, and I played.I said at the beginning, I said,
if anybody goes and interrupts, thisis what's going to happen. And
then the air it's an air raidsiren. It's allowed. And no one
interrupted. No one interrupted because everybodywas knew that I would do that.
I wish the moderators would do somethinglike that. And this is close.
We'll just cut off the mic midsentence even and we'll see if that works
(16:11):
or not. All right, theBiden administration is moving Ukraine ahead of other
countries in line that were slated toreceive air defense missiles. So the latest
move in its effort to kind ofrush urgently needed weapons to Kiev and to
show their support because of the delaythat went through not too long ago,
(16:33):
right, So that just doubles upthe manufacturers. They're the orders for them
for weapons, their happy campers,Oh are they happy campers, companies that
make munitions, the companies that makedrones, all of it. Good time
to invest right now, they're onlyusing these IOU explosion signs in the Ukraine
(16:57):
very good or Ukraine rather very good. Okay, Hey, it's all in
the family, multi generational, familyrun retail. Theft crew has been busted.
They are accused of robbing dozens ofstores around southern California, stealing thousands
of dollars worth of merchandise. TheLAPDS Organized Retail Theft Task Force is the
(17:21):
one who found them. They dubbedthe crime family the Dodger Crew because they
were wearing Dodger gear. A lotof times they went into Macy's nordstrooms in
La Glendale, Torrents and other citiesand they would steal things like perfumes and
colognes and that kind of stuff andthen go around sell it and please say
it was a very lucrative business.Yeah, multi generational. Can you believe
(17:45):
it? Yeah? I can't.It's crime family. They're pretending that they're
a cartel or the mab Barker family. But I love paragraph three of this
story at the end. What theydo is they steal price see perfumes and
cologns, and then real resell themerchandise for a profit. How can you
not sell it for a profit ifit's free and you've stolen it. Yeah,
(18:11):
it'd be hard. You have to. Yeah, you'd have to sell
it minus something working unless you getpaid to do it. Okay, Okay,
So summer heat is on the rise, and for many workers Southern California,
especially if you're like a warehouse workeror something miserable. So California employees
who work in those hot indoor conditionsare getting new protections from cal OSHA,
(18:37):
and that is good news. Here'sa question. Under the new rules require
employers to provide heat safety training,cooling areas, water when the indoor temperature
reaches eighty two degrees that's winter forUS indoor at eighty two degrees, yeah,
(18:57):
swinter time. Yeah, so Imean we're used to hundred and twenty.
Come on, I start thinking aboutall the delivery drivers. I think
ups just barely got air conditioning inthose trucks. Yeah, but they're open
trucks. I don't know how theydo that if they close them up,
but I just have the coal aircoming on you. I saw our male
(19:21):
carrier. Yes, mail carriers arebasically those are Safari vehicles. Safari vehicles,
those male carriers be safe. Abig old dino has been dug up.
It's called Loki sarah toops range offormistssomething like that in the bad lands
of northern Montana, near the USCanada border. It's a giant horn species
(19:45):
of dinosaur. It's apparently a cousinof the infamous tri Sarah toops. So
it's got that big like a shieldbehind its head. And this one's different
because it's got horns up on topof the head and it's supposed to be
or It was twenty two feet long, weighed eleven thousand pounds, and was
(20:06):
the largest herbivore in its ecosystem whenit was alive ninety two million years ago.
Yeah, they're always digging up newdinosaurs, new species, and it's
always Montana because that was where theyhung out, and the bad lands of
Montana used to be. Of course, this jungly, sweaty swampy landy.
(20:26):
Yeah, yeah, ninety two millionyears ago. You think it was a
schwitz there. It was. Itwas a matter of fact. As a
matter fact, one of the namesthat they were looking at is the Schitza
toops, but Schwitzosaurus. You know, listening to Wake Up Paul with Ay
this morning talking about this, Iguess it makes sense that they're digging up
(20:48):
new dinosaurs and species all the time, but it is pretty fascinating that it's
still taking place sixty five million yearslater. And also you notice they don't
need many pieces to figure out whatit looked like. The horns. I
mean, you can get a toeand they'll come up with what it looked
like. Right, Why it is? That's why you know, we all
(21:10):
learned about the brontosaurus, and theBrontosaurus doesn't exist anymore because they went oops
wrong, had Yeah, all right, I didn't know that, by the
way, I just agreed, soit seemed like I knew what I meant.
Well, the Brontosaurus is what wethought existed with the bronosaurs. I've
seen Jurassic Park. Let me alone. That's not that's a different that's not
a bronosaurus. They didn't exist.Moving on all right. Los Angeles Lakers
(21:37):
have agreed to a four year contractwith JJ Reddick to make him the franchise
next coach. He's never coached before, never coached as an assistant, a
head coach, never in the NBA. He was an analyst. And he's
still getting what a six years,seven million dollars seventy million dollar contract.
But I don't think these are nocut contracts. I think those are very
(21:59):
few and far between. And ifit doesn't work out, if the Lakers
just gone first season, he's gone. I think someone can correct me on
that. We should have Petros.Send an email to Petros and ask that
question. TikTok on attack. TikTokhas ramped up its attacks on the Biden
administration over a law that could endup banning the app from the US,
(22:25):
arguing in a court filing that USTikToker used TikTok users could be forced to
live on an island of content disconnectedfrom the rest of the world if the
platform is forced to find a newowner. Yeah, which is a croc.
There's plenty of plenty of platforms thatwould buy TikTok. Tell me Zuckerberg
wouldn't buy it for a decent price, and it's forced to sell goes for
(22:48):
fire sale prices, maybe it'll probablybe a bid. By the way TikTokers
do work, Amy, I thinkit's a great line. Also, Amy,
I want to point something out.You are very good at coming out
with these headlines when you start.They're clever, they're punny. I mean
I never congratulated you for that,but they are excellent. I just want
to point that out. Okay,there was a susy yesterday that I'm trying
(23:12):
to remember. Yeah, I mean, almost every story is just really neat
how they start and the story collapses. Of course, Oh boy, there's
he pushed the limits of I can'tlet it go. I just can't let
it go, not even on Anne'sbirthday. We get a reprieve. All
right. So scientists have finally founda way for men to care about microplastics
(23:34):
as they have found them inhuman penisesfor the first time. Every man listening
just cringed. Yeah. And justfor clarification, Bill, penis is an
appendage that most men have, SoI concern you not call these with the
word swans in they're someplace. Soeverybody's talking about these tiny particles, the
(23:57):
proliferation, potential health effects of these, you know, microplastics, and uh
so now they're finding these, youknow, seven or so different kinds of
microplastics found in four or five samplesof penis tissue taken from five different men
as part of this study. Sofive guys, okay, five, okay,
(24:19):
boy, there's a study for you. How is that statistically significant?
Yeah? I don't know, that'skind of weird. Also, do you
find a strange that it's only inthe penises. I mean, I find
out I don't know that they've foundit. It's not. It's just that
they looked at it and they foundit there too. Okay, now let's
do that one. Where do yougo? Where? How far do you
(24:41):
go with a study that only looksat penises and not for penis like priapism?
You know, when you're making aleft turn sign if you're on a
bicycle. Wasn't that Clinton? Didn't? I think? Also? I think
Michael Jackson a half also as describedby uh, one of the one of
(25:04):
the one of the boys that hewas accused of. He can't sue me
now that he bonked uh you know, one of the eight or nine year
olds. Yeah, it's confusing inSpanish, the recoc Yeah,
You're listening to Bill Handle on demandfrom kf I am six forty. Hey,

not going to be protected, wehave to be able to protect ourselves.
And I'm not saying you have togo out there and be batman, But
go ahead and have the ability.You can't tell us we we can't protect
ourselves and not have No, it'sabsolutely true. You are allowed. Self
(07:08):
defense is legitimate. And then instates like you stand your ground, uh,
and the castle concept or the castleview offending your castle, defending your
castle. So for example, ifyou see someone breaking into the dog house
in the backyard, you can shootthem in the back of the head because
it is your castle on your property. So they don't have to do that.
(07:30):
California, by the way, whatdo they have to be? I
thought you couldn't shoot at them unlessthey were facing you or something. Christ
Well, yeah, it has todo with a threat. It has to
do with a breaking and entering.That's a crime. And you are except
in Texas, even if your lifeis not in danger, someone just breaking
in your house, you can startshooting. Now, tell me you're not
(07:53):
in danger. If somebody's breaking intoyour house, that's and that's what they're
breaking into your house. To makeunderstand, I understand that. However,
the concept as in California, yourlife has to be in danger. It's
a question of just degree, that'sall. And you have states where pro
gun states and it really does breakdown politically, and that is there's a
(08:18):
lot more leeway in pro gun statesin terms of in terms of some shooting
someone that breaks into your house.You know, for a long time,
I was the person they'd call ifsomebody erratic or displeasing showed up at the
station, and I would go andmeet them. And I had law enforcement
(08:41):
tell me what I could do andnot do. And you know, they
said, hey, if you doX, Y and Z, we're going
to back you. But if itgoes beyond that, but that's also a
public location that is not your home, and there's a very very big difference.
But yeah, he prized what Iwas able. I know, well,
we've had people come in. Imet people that somehow made it on
(09:03):
the floor and walked up to meand I just kept on pointing to someone
else over there. Over there.He would look taken the walk fight and
said, mister Handle. No,no, not me, that's mister Handle
right there. Now the security haschanged since then, but back in the
day. Hearkening back to twenty thirteen, we too low. The Federal Aviation
(09:26):
Administration is investigating a Southwest Airlines flightthat descended to just five hundred and twenty
five feet above ground as it wasapproaching will Rogers World Airport just after midnight
Wednesday. That triggered an altitude warningand then you can hear air traffic Control
going, you guys out there,and then they stopped descending. After it
(09:46):
got to that level. It climbedbriefly and then maneuvered for a successful landing.
But it does remind me of thatflight, the Agiana flight that yeahd
San Francisco and came in too lowand then nish is that is worth watching
on YouTube. It's Asiana Airport orAsiana Airlines San Francisco Airport, and it
(10:13):
was that I don't know the nameof the broadcaster, but it could be
the funniest broadcast It was on TV. It was on just astoundingly hilarious,
the funniest thing I've ever seen onYouTube. Well, you know, and
I know that the first response ispeople are going to be thinking of the
racist aspect, but that the funniestpart is that in a modern world,
(10:35):
that somebody didn't proof read or thatit got past Oh no, I think
no. From what I understand,it was an intern that purposely did it.
That's that's what I understand that inany case. And then the other
point I want to make on afar more serious note, is this is
the second go round we just hadlast week playing going too Low and the
(10:56):
number of close calls, and Igotta tell you it's just a question of
time. We've had so many thatwe are on the precipice of a next
major disaster. There's no question inmy mind. And for the first time
in my adult life, come October, I'm on an airplane. I'm leaving
for a vacation on a plane.First time in my adult life, I
am really concerned about safety on anairplane. First time. Something's going to
(11:22):
happen. It has to, it'sbeen. There's too many, too many
float close calls. There's too manyairplanes that have all kinds of mechanical problems
well fires. As your crew,we will be here thinking the best thoughts
and gambling on the overunder of youdying. Yeah, I mean, I
just legitimately, it's it's become scary. There are just way too many close
(11:46):
calls and incidents. Is like this, and the last thing you want is
an you know, air controller trafficair controller going uh, hello you guys,
good out there, yeah, areyou okay? Awake? Ye crazy?
All right? Mortgage rates fell thisweek to their lowest levels since early
April. That puts the standard thirtyyear fixed rate mortgage average at about six
(12:11):
point eighty seven. That is downfrom the six point nine to five average,
and that is down that was downfrom the earlier peak of seven point
two two. So that's all goodnews, except that we have not forgotten
three percent money yet, and that'sthe problem. And so it's just a
(12:33):
question of time when we find thatsix percent is about the average mortgage rate
and has been historically, that's whatwe're kind of used to. And then
for twenty five years or twenty years, we got three percent money, and
so everybody is cheering that it's gonedown to six point eight seven percent,
which is still at Well, letme ask you, Neil, you're sitting
(12:54):
on a mortgage rate of what twopoint eight percent? Yeah, both places?
Okay, do you find uh,would you find six point eight seven
percent just hugely horrifically expensive on amortgage? You know what, you taught
me something really great sometime ago,and that was not to look at a
(13:15):
car as a investment, but asa utility. Right, you told me
you just got it. You're gonnaneed a car, so you just got
a kind of thing. And andif you want a house, you got
to just eat those things and say, Okay, this is going to be
part of it. And if itchanges the way I look at it,
if it changes, then you refinance, which we had we did three times
(13:37):
or more thanks to Lisa Ali bythe way, at Summit Lending. But
if it doesn't, then are younever going to buy a house? So
you're kind well, I'm gonna doyou either have to do it or you
don't. Yeah, there's a storyabout that, but let's continue on because
we've got a lot to cover.Guess who gets the last word. Former
(14:00):
President Trump will get the final wordin next week's debate. The coin they
did a coin flip and Biden wonthe coin flip, so they got to
pick whether they wanted to select whichpodium that Biden would stand that or what
the order of closing statements would be, and Biden's people chose podium placement.
(14:24):
Yes, I would do the samething because Donald Trump having the last word
is the same of him as havingthe first word, the second word,
the middle word. Because it's theyand for the first time. Thank goodness,
the moderators will be able to cutthe microphone off when it's not one
(14:45):
of the candidates turned to speak.If you remember the last debate, especially
during the Hillary debate, I'm screamingat the moderators. Not a Donald Trump
who kept on interrupting. That's justwho he is. You know, there's
no hidden agenda with this. Weknow how he operated. It's just it's
a presidential debate, you know,are you really going to let interruptions happen?
(15:05):
So Mike goes off. I lovethat. What about that creepy thing
that Trump did where he walked behindHillary? You're hilarious. You can't do
like peacefully? Photo bombs. Moderatorsare a bunch of whimps. They no
control whatsoever. It seems like likea hard gate. Hey did the Biden
(15:26):
people pick the podium that was closestto the entry? Uh So that's I
once moderated. I once moderated acongressional race, a debate, and I
brought in one of those error horns, you know the kind that you have
on the can that blows, Yeah, that blows people's ears out, and
(15:48):
I play, and I played.I said at the beginning, I said,
if anybody goes and interrupts, thisis what's going to happen. And
then the air it's an air raidsiren. It's allowed. And no one
interrupted. No one interrupted because everybodywas knew that I would do that.
I wish the moderators would do somethinglike that. And this is close.
We'll just cut off the mic midsentence even and we'll see if that works
(16:11):
or not. All right, theBiden administration is moving Ukraine ahead of other
countries in line that were slated toreceive air defense missiles. So the latest
move in its effort to kind ofrush urgently needed weapons to Kiev and to
show their support because of the delaythat went through not too long ago,
(16:33):
right, So that just doubles upthe manufacturers. They're the orders for them
for weapons, their happy campers,Oh are they happy campers, companies that
make munitions, the companies that makedrones, all of it. Good time
to invest right now, they're onlyusing these IOU explosion signs in the Ukraine
(16:57):
very good or Ukraine rather very good. Okay, Hey, it's all in
the family, multi generational, familyrun retail. Theft crew has been busted.
They are accused of robbing dozens ofstores around southern California, stealing thousands
of dollars worth of merchandise. TheLAPDS Organized Retail Theft Task Force is the
(17:21):
one who found them. They dubbedthe crime family the Dodger Crew because they
were wearing Dodger gear. A lotof times they went into Macy's nordstrooms in
La Glendale, Torrents and other citiesand they would steal things like perfumes and
colognes and that kind of stuff andthen go around sell it and please say
it was a very lucrative business.Yeah, multi generational. Can you believe
(17:45):
it? Yeah? I can't.It's crime family. They're pretending that they're
a cartel or the mab Barker family. But I love paragraph three of this
story at the end. What theydo is they steal price see perfumes and
cologns, and then real resell themerchandise for a profit. How can you
not sell it for a profit ifit's free and you've stolen it. Yeah,
(18:11):
it'd be hard. You have to. Yeah, you'd have to sell
it minus something working unless you getpaid to do it. Okay, Okay,
So summer heat is on the rise, and for many workers Southern California,
especially if you're like a warehouse workeror something miserable. So California employees
who work in those hot indoor conditionsare getting new protections from cal OSHA,
(18:37):
and that is good news. Here'sa question. Under the new rules require
employers to provide heat safety training,cooling areas, water when the indoor temperature
reaches eighty two degrees that's winter forUS indoor at eighty two degrees, yeah,
(18:57):
swinter time. Yeah, so Imean we're used to hundred and twenty.
Come on, I start thinking aboutall the delivery drivers. I think
ups just barely got air conditioning inthose trucks. Yeah, but they're open
trucks. I don't know how theydo that if they close them up,
but I just have the coal aircoming on you. I saw our male
(19:21):
carrier. Yes, mail carriers arebasically those are Safari vehicles. Safari vehicles,
those male carriers be safe. Abig old dino has been dug up.
It's called Loki sarah toops range offormistssomething like that in the bad lands
of northern Montana, near the USCanada border. It's a giant horn species
(19:45):
of dinosaur. It's apparently a cousinof the infamous tri Sarah toops. So
it's got that big like a shieldbehind its head. And this one's different
because it's got horns up on topof the head and it's supposed to be
or It was twenty two feet long, weighed eleven thousand pounds, and was
(20:06):
the largest herbivore in its ecosystem whenit was alive ninety two million years ago.
Yeah, they're always digging up newdinosaurs, new species, and it's
always Montana because that was where theyhung out, and the bad lands of
Montana used to be. Of course, this jungly, sweaty swampy landy.
(20:26):
Yeah, yeah, ninety two millionyears ago. You think it was a
schwitz there. It was. Itwas a matter of fact. As a
matter fact, one of the namesthat they were looking at is the Schitza
toops, but Schwitzosaurus. You know, listening to Wake Up Paul with Ay
this morning talking about this, Iguess it makes sense that they're digging up
(20:48):
new dinosaurs and species all the time, but it is pretty fascinating that it's
still taking place sixty five million yearslater. And also you notice they don't
need many pieces to figure out whatit looked like. The horns. I
mean, you can get a toeand they'll come up with what it looked
like. Right, Why it is? That's why you know, we all
(21:10):
learned about the brontosaurus, and theBrontosaurus doesn't exist anymore because they went oops
wrong, had Yeah, all right, I didn't know that, by the
way, I just agreed, soit seemed like I knew what I meant.
Well, the Brontosaurus is what wethought existed with the bronosaurs. I've
seen Jurassic Park. Let me alone. That's not that's a different that's not
a bronosaurus. They didn't exist.Moving on all right. Los Angeles Lakers
(21:37):
have agreed to a four year contractwith JJ Reddick to make him the franchise
next coach. He's never coached before, never coached as an assistant, a
head coach, never in the NBA. He was an analyst. And he's
still getting what a six years,seven million dollars seventy million dollar contract.
But I don't think these are nocut contracts. I think those are very
(21:59):
few and far between. And ifit doesn't work out, if the Lakers
just gone first season, he's gone. I think someone can correct me on
that. We should have Petros.Send an email to Petros and ask that
question. TikTok on attack. TikTokhas ramped up its attacks on the Biden
administration over a law that could endup banning the app from the US,
(22:25):
arguing in a court filing that USTikToker used TikTok users could be forced to
live on an island of content disconnectedfrom the rest of the world if the
platform is forced to find a newowner. Yeah, which is a croc.
There's plenty of plenty of platforms thatwould buy TikTok. Tell me Zuckerberg
wouldn't buy it for a decent price, and it's forced to sell goes for
(22:48):
fire sale prices, maybe it'll probablybe a bid. By the way TikTokers
do work, Amy, I thinkit's a great line. Also, Amy,
I want to point something out.You are very good at coming out
with these headlines when you start.They're clever, they're punny. I mean
I never congratulated you for that,but they are excellent. I just want
to point that out. Okay,there was a susy yesterday that I'm trying
(23:12):
to remember. Yeah, I mean, almost every story is just really neat
how they start and the story collapses. Of course, Oh boy, there's
he pushed the limits of I can'tlet it go. I just can't let
it go, not even on Anne'sbirthday. We get a reprieve. All
right. So scientists have finally founda way for men to care about microplastics
(23:34):
as they have found them inhuman penisesfor the first time. Every man listening
just cringed. Yeah. And justfor clarification, Bill, penis is an
appendage that most men have, SoI concern you not call these with the
word swans in they're someplace. Soeverybody's talking about these tiny particles, the
(23:57):
proliferation, potential health effects of these, you know, microplastics, and uh
so now they're finding these, youknow, seven or so different kinds of
microplastics found in four or five samplesof penis tissue taken from five different men
as part of this study. Sofive guys, okay, five, okay,
(24:19):
boy, there's a study for you. How is that statistically significant?
Yeah? I don't know, that'skind of weird. Also, do you
find a strange that it's only inthe penises. I mean, I find
out I don't know that they've foundit. It's not. It's just that
they looked at it and they foundit there too. Okay, now let's
do that one. Where do yougo? Where? How far do you
(24:41):
go with a study that only looksat penises and not for penis like priapism?
You know, when you're making aleft turn sign if you're on a
bicycle. Wasn't that Clinton? Didn't? I think? Also? I think
Michael Jackson a half also as describedby uh, one of the one of
(25:04):
the one of the boys that hewas accused of. He can't sue me
now that he bonked uh you know, one of the eight or nine year
olds. Yeah, it's confusing inSpanish, the recoc Yeah,
