Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to a wake up call on demand from
KFI AM six fortys.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I first spoke on a microphone nineteen eighty five. So
what is that? Is that thirty seven years? I'm sorry?
Is it thirty nine years now? Nineteen eighty five? To oh, yeah, yeah,
thirty nine years? Good God. I think I'm gonna go
in the other room and collapse. You know, I'm gonna
take a break and change my diaper.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Okay, and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Here's Bill handle. Okay. It is a Thursday morning, almost
into the week, August eighth, and we've got well, first
of all, I want to say hello. Let's start with Neil.
Good morning, Neil, Neil, Neil. Oh, Neil's not here today,
(00:58):
all right, Neil's at Disneyland, and he's probably how many rides? Ay,
you're a Disneyland person considering, so how many rides can
you actually get?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Depending on how good you are planning, you can get
a good ten or twelve minutes?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh come on, yeah, ten or twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
There's so much more to do.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And see that's true, that's true. You know I went
to Disneyland within a couple of years after it opened.
Did I tell you the story of Disneyland and Marjorie No, Okay,
Disneyland opened up in nineteen fifty five, and you know,
Marjorie's one hundred and fifty years old, so they would
(01:40):
and it's an amazing story, the Wonderful World of disney
It was originally the Disneyland Show, and it was ABC.
ABC was a new network. It kept the big stations
and sold off all the crappy stations and now you
have ABC, American Broadcasting Company that no one was watching.
(02:00):
So they needed content. Disneyland opens up in July nineteen
fifty five and the two companies, Disneyland desperately needed some publicity.
ABC desperately needed content. So the two companies cut a
deal that Disney would provide content Mickey Mouse Show the
(02:23):
Disneyland Show, which turned out to be a Wonderful World
of Disney at Morphed and it was a one hour
commercial for Disneyland, all right. So that's how it opened
up so early early those days, ABC would run commercials
during the day because they had more inventory, you can imagine,
(02:44):
and it was about Disneyland, and they would do the
early rides and I mean, you know, that one of
the rides was the Safari ride, what the Jungle Cruise cruise?
That was it? That opened up the day that Disneyland
opened and it's been real still open today. And one
(03:06):
of the commercials, and I'm talking about a couple of years,
three years after Disneyland opened up, they they did a
commercial where there's this little girl who sees the hippopotamus
and it's scared to death. She's maybe just a toddler
and then grabs onto her older brother's leg so frightened.
(03:29):
That was Marjorie.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I love it, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And we try to get We tried to get the
archives of that commercial. And in those days they didn't
keep much. They had the kinescopes, which is the process
they use for broadcasting. Uh, and it just it in
terms of keeping in terms of keeping records, in other words,
(03:59):
that we go on TV and a film camera would
actually film that commercial on television and that's how they
recorded and kept archives. And so in any case, so
we're still looking for that commercial.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
That would be fun to have it wouldn't Somebody's got it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And here we are, I don't know how many years later,
and every time Marjorie goes to Disneyland and sees the hippopotamus.
She grabs a leg of who's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That's okay, I do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, you know what, I lost my clock here on
my computer. I can't. I can't believe I do that.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know, how do you lose the clock?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Because it's on the computer and I press buttons and
I tried to get the newspapers and the zoom at
the same time, and every time I press anything ive nine, Yeah, thanks,
I'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
No, it's not it's six nine.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, I know, you know. I lost it again. I
can't believe I lost it. I'm not going to press
a damn thing all right while I'm looking. Hello Cono,
Hello Bill, okay, hello what I'm trying to find the
clock and I just I can't do it.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Maybe she could just get you a digital clock that's
not on.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm looking, but the digital clocks are so big. Oh no,
I just lost you guys. Come on, Oh like, come on, guys,
for god's sake, where's digital clock? I don't jeez, I
don't see it. So you're you know you're gonna until
I figure it out. Let me take my watch up.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Well, we can hear you. That's all we really need.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah know when I can see you. But the three
things that I desperately need is I need Obviously I
have to see you. I need my clock. Those are
the two things. And then my newspapers because I read
the newspapers, which I did not this morning. I have
the New York Times, the LA Times, of Wall Street journals.
So by the end of the show, I'm done with them.
(05:55):
So I have some idea of what the world's about.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know who has bigger problems than you? Who Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh yeah, we're going to talk about Taylor Swift's. I
mean end of the world stuff too is here. You know,
World War three is about to explode. We know that
the Eastern Seaboard is about to go underwater, and you know,
get thousands of people that are drowned. But that's nothing
compared to the Taylor Swift. Uh. The Taylor Swift concerts,
three of them that have to uh that have been
(06:22):
canceled because of terrorist threats. Did you see video of
those people who were will not be able to people
were flying in from America, uh to go And so
today we're going to have a report on how many
suicides there are because people missed the Taylor Swift concert
because Swifties are crazy. I mean they're like her.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Crying suicide.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, it's it's it's beyond loving her. It's well into
mental illness. I mean there is. Yeah, but the Beatles
fan were teenage girls. If you remember that, and that
was it, you know. I mean I was a big
Beatles fan. But you know, was I going to kill myself? No? No,
(07:08):
although I have to tell you if it's a question
between a Beatles fan, a Beatles show, and a Costco burrito,
it's pretty close. Okay, Oh there it is. Clock.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Hold on, hold on, Hold on, ladies and gentlemen, we're
back in business.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, clock, okay, hold on clock almost as I'll do
it now. It's a timer in five minutes. Damn. Okay,
let's move on.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Stuck in space, NASA officials say that the two astronauts
who took a ride on the Boeing Star Line are
up to the International Space Station and we're supposed to
be there for a month. Well they've been there for
like two months now because they got up there on
June sixth, and now NASA is saying they might not
be able to return until February of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's if they have to catch a ride on a
SpaceX crew.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Direct, you're gonna have to actually get an elon musk ride. Boy,
that's not embarrassing for either NASA and more importantly, that's
not embarrassing for Boeing. I'll tell you what. They're scared
to death. Those astronauts get on the board that spacecraft
start going back to Earth and the door blows off,
and NASA is saying, ain't gonna happen on our watch.
(08:28):
So thank you to Boweing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, yeah, back off Arrowhead. So Arrowhead or the company
has been pulling water out of the San Bernardino Mountains
since nineteen o six. There are springs up in the
mountains and Arrowheads been bottling that water and selling it.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well. Now the federal government is saying.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And they've decided not to renew a permit the US
for a service is denied Blue Tritons permit to extract
water after environmental activists claim that the removal of the
water is harming wildlife.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Now look at this, what a business model this is.
Can you imagine any manufacturing or service provider where you
pay nothing for the base product. Let's say your auto company,
your manufacturing cars, you pay nothing for the metal or
the electronics, or the steering wheel or the wheels. This
(09:30):
is arrowhead. They pay nothing for the water, or virtually nothing.
I can't even imagine how much they don't pay to
the FEDS for the water. And so the natural spring water,
I guess, is going to be natural tap water. You know,
there are a lot of companies that basically just filter
water and here you go, here's a bottle of water.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
But think how high their water bills must be.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know what, don't know how expensive water is when
they sell it to you in a bottle for three
bucks a bottle.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
All right, another day, another attack on Metro. A man
has been arrested after he allegedly attacked a woman at
a Metro station in Pasadena. Happened on the A Lines
Allen station about five forty yesterday yesterday morning. According to witnesses,
the guy punched the woman, knocked her to the ground,
(10:26):
dragged her onto the dirt, kicked her onto the tracks,
and then dragged her out onto the two ten freeway
and then he ran off.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
And now they've arrested him.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Okay. You know what we have to do amy is
sort of change the way we approach news, and that is,
I think, at a given time every day, you do
the today's metro attack report, and you simply do the
report as to how many people were attacked on metro
and what happened and if anybody died. Good news is
(10:58):
no one died today, And it's uh, every day. When's
the last time we didn't do a.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Metro attack yesterday? Although the attack happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, so we missed the timing. Okay, but it was
a metro attack yesterday, and it's early. It's only six
twenty two or six twenty three, where I think it's
what six twenty one. We're on this minute delay business.
In case I say something wrong and you say something.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Wrong, Oh, don't look me into that.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's the broadcasting a little inside baseball. I thought i'd
share with everything. I share everything with everybody.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I know.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I've gotten such grief from management over the years, saying
you have to share everything. I go, Yeah, of course
I do. Well if people are if they deign to listen,
and they're kind enough to listen, all right, you know
what I'll share what's going on? Okay, let's continue on.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Okay, wait, there's more speaking of Metro.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Oh yeah, so down in Long Beach then or over
in Long Beach, a man has been shot by police.
This happened near Fifth Street and Pacific Avenue at the
Metro station, and witnesses say a man was walking near
the station and was seen taking a gun out of
his backpack and putting it in his waistband. Officers confronted him.
(12:25):
There was some sort of confrontation there, and then police
shot him.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
This is actually good news for the police department because
they can shut down their firing ranges for practice and
just send their the practice teams to the Metro and
here you go, and you're going to get some really
good practice. It's pretty crazy. It really is the same.
(12:51):
Would anybody go on Metro? I mean I would not
get near a Metro line. I remember when Metro first
opened up and we did a whole story the first
one opened up, I don't remember how many years ago,
and a bunch of us had to report and KFI
I went there. It was all homeless people, that was it.
Even back then, it was all yeah, it started as
(13:12):
a homelessly homeless encampment where people just lived on the
Metro buses. It was like a cruise ship. It was
a moving hotel that went back and forth from station
to station and you could stop. You oh, you know
what it is. It's like those drive and hop off
buses you do in Hollywood that it goes around and
(13:35):
you can get off anytime and get back on. That's
what Metro was like for homeless people.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I didn't realize it had always been that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Way, like, oh, yeah, no, it's from day one.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
There was an issue with that dare up in the
Bay Area, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system that was
really really nice when it opened, Like my mom used
to drop us off and we'd go and ride the
bar all day like because that's what it was clean
and it was fast and it was fun.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And well, if you fly into Oakland, you fly into
SFO San Francisco International or which is way south of
the city, or you can go to Oakland across the
Bay and it's the same ride. And flying into Oakland
is a lot cheaper, always has been than into San Francisco.
And then you would get on the Metro and the
(14:21):
problem is when you got on the Metro station which
was about a mile away from the airport or a
mile and a half. You had to get on a
bus and then you had to get off the bus
and go to the metro station. And the metro station
there was the station of death. It was such a
sketchy area that you would good chance you would die
(14:42):
because it was that kind of area, and I always
enjoyed it. Well, I didn't enjoy the death part, but
I really enjoyed the ride on bart Then I think
it's now to the airport, so you don't have nearly
as much fun.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
So, speaking of the death part, would you want to
know if you are going to die? No, Well, the
family of a French explorer who died in that submersible implosion,
remember it was going down to see the Titanic and
it imploded. The family has filed a more than fifty
million dollar lawsuit saying the crew experienced terror and mental
anguish before the disaster, and accused the subs operator of
(15:22):
gross negligence.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, now that's interesting. The lawsuit for wrongful death may
work or not work, but this is emotional distress that
they're also really suing for, and I think it's quite
a lawsuit. The lawsuit says the crew may well have
heard fiber the carbon fiber's crackling noise grow more intense
(15:47):
as the water pressure pressed on the titan's hole. They
could have heard it. Okay, not necessarily hurt it, but
they could have. And I get those questions all the
time on handle on the law. I could have been
in an accident. I could have been hit. I could
have been beat up when I was in the gang area.
(16:10):
Were you well, no, but I could have. And then
I always share exactly the same philosophy of law. And
this is why I'm such a great lawyer. And that is,
if my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather. But
she doesn't, so therefore she could have been, but she's not.
(16:30):
And that's the concept here.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Ain't gonna fly, Okay, Debbie's not done yet.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Tropical Storm Debbie has made its second landfall in the US.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It happened early this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
This time it came on to shore in South Carolina
with fifty mile an hour winds, torrential rains spawning tornadoes,
and they're expecting some pretty severe flooding and it's crawling
along in about five miles per hour.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It was a.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Category one hurricane on Monday when I first came ashore
in Florida. It's lost some power since then, but it's
dumped more than a foot of rain over parts of Florida, Georgia,
and South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
It's killed at least five people.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, it's a bad one. It's about well. We knew
it was going to be a bad one, and we
didn't know early on where it was going to go,
because originally I thought maybe it was going to go
into the Gulf Midway, where we could have said, Debbie
does Dallas, and unfortunately we are not a I would
have loved for that to have happened.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
It was looking good for a while.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Then the Dow dipped again, So the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was trading up is more than four hundred points yesterday,
looking like we were going to have another day of
rallying after that one thousand point loss on Tuesday or
on Monday actually, but nope, it fell, so it ended
up down two hundred and thirty four points yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So it looks like we are right there on the
precipice of the recession, or at least the y mcdownturn sore.
The happening. We don't know, and then we kind of
saying we're gonna have a soft landing, which we have
not had. I mean, this economy has been roaring.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And this also means if there's this much of a
slow down, if the stocks drop dramatically and stay there,
even though it's there in the stock market is insanely high,
it's still up for the year.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
It's still up over thirty nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I know. It's I mean, it's nuts, it really is.
And then we'll see ah an interest rate drop by
the Feds, probably September when the next meet or in
an emergency they can do it immediately, but that's not
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
So it was a year ago today that Lahina was
almost wiped completely off the map.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Remember the flames, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Started on Maui and just tore through Lahina and basically
destroyed this small historic town.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
But researchers are saying.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
That they are optim mystic because the reefs, coral reefs,
are recovering from the impacts of the wildfire.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
And that big tree is it a banyon tree?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
What's the yes, the big it is it's a Banyan
tree in the middle of town or the middle of
the historic here.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
It's growing and it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, Lahina started in the eighteen hundreds as a whaling
town and the history of it it's incredible and a
lot of those buildings that date back to those days.
I mean, you talk about history, it's absolutely great. Anybody
read James Mitchener's Hawaii, which is a phenomenal book, all
(19:36):
thousand pages of it, and it is based Lahaina is
a huge part of it. Also, I don't know if
you ever been to Molokai, the leper colony. Oh, that's
a lot of fun going there.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You can are there still?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, yeah, there's still there are still lepers there. Yeah,
yeah there or last I went, I don't know if
they stay. If you stay there, you know, the lepers
who stay there, you sort of have to have leprosy
is it's paid for all paid for by the government.
The government gives them a stipend and it's they're supported
one hundred percent by the government. But you have to
live there. And today leprosy is completely controlled. You know,
(20:16):
it's chronic. You know, fingers and appendages don't fall off anymore, which,
by the way, that's that is hugely entertaining with someone.
Schwantz literally falls off when they have leprosy. Okay, let's
just move on.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, let's see the war rages on in Ukraine. Russian
forces are battling Ukrainian troops for a third day after
they smashed through the Russian border in the Kursk region.
So it was one of the biggest Ukrainian attacks on
Russia in the two year war. About a thousand Ukrainian
troops rammed through the Russian border early on the morning
(20:53):
of August sixth, with tanks and armored vehicles and covered
by swarms of drones and artillery from this from the sky.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, Vladimir Putin calls it a major provocation, as if
the attack on Ukraine was not a major provocation. Right.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I just think it's amazing how they spin these things
and things that we're going to believe it.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It's absolutely crazy and it's and I'll tell you what
I sort of didn't understand and why Putin didn't do this.
Usually when a country attacks a neighboring country, much like
what the Nazis did and other countries, it's because they're
there to liberate the people in that country, because they're
(21:38):
under the In this case, it would be the Ukrainian
government is treating the Russians on the eastern part of Ukraine,
that is with the border with Russia and treating him.
So the Ukrainian people who speak Russian begged Russia to
come in and save them. That's the way they spin.
And it's just it's horrific, it really is. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Amy, Costco's cracking down on membership moochers.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
So you've probably seen it. You may have even tried
it us talking about to me or to the audience,
to the audience.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Using somebody else's card to get into Costco. Okay, well,
Costco's cracking down on that. So they're doing it in
a kinder, gentler way. But instead of like calling you
out for it, they're just having you scan the Costco
card before you go into the store.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, today, yesterday, It's exactly what happened to me. Exactly.
They put it in a couple of days ago. And
there's the scanning and you put your card up and
it scans. Although there are people right there at this point,
standing membership people, and as you walk in, they point
to the scanner and go here, scan here, as if
(22:46):
you're a special needs customer. Yeah, I know what a
scanner looks like, Thank you very much, but they still
I mean that is now the thing. You scan the
card to get in the door, and if you are
either it is expired or let's say you don't have
a card, they gently move you over to the membership
(23:06):
line and go here, why don't you sign up as
a member?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Easy, easy, psy yep.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So much for athletes treating their bodies as temples. An
Australian Olympic hockey field player or Olympic field hockey player,
has been arrested for buying cocaine in Paris. He's been
taken into custody then released, and he put out a
statement and said I would like to apologize for what
has occurred. I made a terrible mistake and take full responsibility.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, he made a mistake. Of the good news is
he did it in Paris and not in Russia. So yeah,
I wonder if he would do, you know, having, you know,
having dabbled in the world of cocaine just before I
went into drug rehab years ago, I would guess he
(24:00):
would do better on coke, nice buzzy high.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Okay, Okay, just saying Zell's under investigation. Apparently there's some
problems with all this money going back and forth, and
so the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is investigating major US
banks for how they're handling customer funds on the so
called peer to peer payment platform called Zell.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
YEP.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
It involves JP, Morgan, Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Farga.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And at seven o'clock top of the hour, I'm doing
this story because there is a lot here and a
lot of people use Zel, including me. I use Zel,
I do too.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I haven't heard it. I've never had any fraud.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But now, before you do it, have you noticed that
now the screen pops up and you're supposed to like say, yes,
I read all these warnings.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yes, it lets you do it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah. And you have to be pretty dumb to get scammed.
I mean, you know, there are a couple of rules
that you follow, and they're not that hard to follow,
and the chances of you get he scammed or minuscule.
But it's the numbers of the amount of money that's
transferred on Zell is so enormous that even a tiny
little fraction is a very big, big, big number. And
(25:19):
that's coming up the top of the hour.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
The Wild and Crazy Guy doesn't want to be Tim Walls.
So Lourene Michaels from Saturday Night Live apparently called Steve
Martin and said, Hey, Steve, do you want to impersonate
Tim Walls? Who is the new vice presidential Canada or
will be when it's official. And Steve Martin said, nah, thanks,
(25:45):
but no thanks, he said, he said he turned it
down because he's not an impressionist, and he said he
would struggle with trying to impersonate well. And he said,
you need somebody who can really just nail him.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
And he doesn't look like him particularly, he's lot thinner.
It's just because he wears glasses and he has white hair,
and I guess that's Tim Wallas occasionally does that. But
I think you're going to well, I hold that back.
If Donald Trump gets elected, you are going to see
Alec Baldwin coming back as Donald Trump on SNL. However,
(26:22):
my guess is he won't. They will not bring him
back for fear that he would shoot one of the
camera people.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Okay, moving on to happier things. The governor has pronounced
or proclaimed that today is California Panda Day. Because the
giant pandas are making their public debut at the San
Diego Zoo today.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Love it, that's sweet.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It is sweet.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
They haven't been here for a while. These are the
first it's the first new set of pandas to come
to the US in twenty one years. Remember we had
like a little tiff with China and they said, okay,
give us our pandacea.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, yeah, they're on loan. China does not give pandas
to anybody. They loan them, They actually lease them. And
these what mu gu Guy panda is one of them.
And then if there are orange pandas. By the way,
did you know that, actually they're called the orange chicken pandas,
but no, they really are orange pandas. Now people will
(27:20):
wait five hours in line to go see the pandas.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh yeah, the lines are gonna be I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
They're going to be enormous. And I would never wait
five hours. Now, I'm gonna give you a little hint.
And I know, you know I'm being obnoxious here, I'm
you know, being self arrandizing. If you ever go to
the Beijing Zoo, if you ever ever have a chance
to go to China, you want to go to the
panda exhibit because there they have hot and cold running pandas.
(27:48):
There are pandas all over the place. They roll around.
You have pandas until you can't see anymore pandas. You
get sick of pandas over there.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You'd never get sick of it.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And I wanted you to know that. I was like,
is there really an orange chicken panda?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So I look a no, look orange pandas.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
There are orange pandas. There's not orange chicken pandas.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, well, they know they nose e chickens. So it's
fair to.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Say that when I googled it, I got Panda Express
and orange chicken Pop.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Well, okay, that's some orange. The orange pandas don't eat bamboo, okay.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
But the pandas here eat like forty pounds of bamboo
a day.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And the zeo says they've got eight different varieties, so
the pandas will have different bamboos to choose from.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's like choosing from column A collum b or you
go to panda, you go to PF chains and you
can choose on the menu. It's a there's a there's
a thing there. This is KF. I am six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You've been listening to
the Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show Monday through Friday,
six am to nine am, and anytime on demand on
(28:57):
the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to a wake up call on demand from
KFI AM six fortys.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
I first spoke on a microphone nineteen eighty five. So
what is that? Is that thirty seven years? I'm sorry?
Is it thirty nine years now? Nineteen eighty five? To oh, yeah, yeah,
thirty nine years? Good God. I think I'm gonna go
in the other room and collapse. You know, I'm gonna
take a break and change my diaper.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Okay, and now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Here's Bill handle. Okay. It is a Thursday morning, almost
into the week, August eighth, and we've got well, first
of all, I want to say hello. Let's start with Neil.
Good morning, Neil, Neil, Neil. Oh, Neil's not here today,
(00:58):
all right, Neil's at Disneyland, and he's probably how many rides? Ay,
you're a Disneyland person considering, so how many rides can
you actually get?
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Depending on how good you are planning, you can get
a good ten or twelve minutes?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh come on, yeah, ten or twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
There's so much more to do.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And see that's true, that's true. You know I went
to Disneyland within a couple of years after it opened.
Did I tell you the story of Disneyland and Marjorie No, Okay,
Disneyland opened up in nineteen fifty five, and you know,
Marjorie's one hundred and fifty years old, so they would
(01:40):
and it's an amazing story, the Wonderful World of disney
It was originally the Disneyland Show, and it was ABC.
ABC was a new network. It kept the big stations
and sold off all the crappy stations and now you
have ABC, American Broadcasting Company that no one was watching.
(02:00):
So they needed content. Disneyland opens up in July nineteen
fifty five and the two companies, Disneyland desperately needed some publicity.
ABC desperately needed content. So the two companies cut a
deal that Disney would provide content Mickey Mouse Show the
(02:23):
Disneyland Show, which turned out to be a Wonderful World
of Disney at Morphed and it was a one hour
commercial for Disneyland, all right. So that's how it opened
up so early early those days, ABC would run commercials
during the day because they had more inventory, you can imagine,
(02:44):
and it was about Disneyland, and they would do the
early rides and I mean, you know, that one of
the rides was the Safari ride, what the Jungle Cruise cruise?
That was it? That opened up the day that Disneyland
opened and it's been real still open today. And one
(03:06):
of the commercials, and I'm talking about a couple of years,
three years after Disneyland opened up, they they did a
commercial where there's this little girl who sees the hippopotamus
and it's scared to death. She's maybe just a toddler
and then grabs onto her older brother's leg so frightened.
(03:29):
That was Marjorie.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I love it, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And we try to get We tried to get the
archives of that commercial. And in those days they didn't
keep much. They had the kinescopes, which is the process
they use for broadcasting. Uh, and it just it in
terms of keeping in terms of keeping records, in other words,
(03:59):
that we go on TV and a film camera would
actually film that commercial on television and that's how they
recorded and kept archives. And so in any case, so
we're still looking for that commercial.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
That would be fun to have it wouldn't Somebody's got it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
And here we are, I don't know how many years later,
and every time Marjorie goes to Disneyland and sees the hippopotamus.
She grabs a leg of who's ever seen.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That's okay, I do the same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, you know what, I lost my clock here on
my computer. I can't. I can't believe I do that.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
You know, how do you lose the clock?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Because it's on the computer and I press buttons and
I tried to get the newspapers and the zoom at
the same time, and every time I press anything ive nine, Yeah, thanks,
I'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
No, it's not it's six nine.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, I know, you know. I lost it again. I
can't believe I lost it. I'm not going to press
a damn thing all right while I'm looking. Hello Cono,
Hello Bill, okay, hello what I'm trying to find the
clock and I just I can't do it.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Maybe she could just get you a digital clock that's
not on.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm looking, but the digital clocks are so big. Oh no,
I just lost you guys. Come on, Oh like, come on, guys,
for god's sake, where's digital clock? I don't jeez, I
don't see it. So you're you know you're gonna until
I figure it out. Let me take my watch up.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Well, we can hear you. That's all we really need.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah know when I can see you. But the three
things that I desperately need is I need Obviously I
have to see you. I need my clock. Those are
the two things. And then my newspapers because I read
the newspapers, which I did not this morning. I have
the New York Times, the LA Times, of Wall Street journals.
So by the end of the show, I'm done with them.
(05:55):
So I have some idea of what the world's about.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
You know who has bigger problems than you? Who Taylor Swift?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh yeah, we're going to talk about Taylor Swift's. I
mean end of the world stuff too is here. You know,
World War three is about to explode. We know that
the Eastern Seaboard is about to go underwater, and you know,
get thousands of people that are drowned. But that's nothing
compared to the Taylor Swift. Uh. The Taylor Swift concerts,
three of them that have to uh that have been
(06:22):
canceled because of terrorist threats. Did you see video of
those people who were will not be able to people
were flying in from America, uh to go And so
today we're going to have a report on how many
suicides there are because people missed the Taylor Swift concert
because Swifties are crazy. I mean they're like her.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Crying suicide.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
No, it's it's it's beyond loving her. It's well into
mental illness. I mean there is. Yeah, but the Beatles
fan were teenage girls. If you remember that, and that
was it, you know. I mean I was a big
Beatles fan. But you know, was I going to kill myself? No? No,
(07:08):
although I have to tell you if it's a question
between a Beatles fan, a Beatles show, and a Costco burrito,
it's pretty close. Okay, Oh there it is. Clock.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Hold on, hold on, Hold on, ladies and gentlemen, we're
back in business.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, clock, okay, hold on clock almost as I'll do
it now. It's a timer in five minutes. Damn. Okay,
let's move on.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Stuck in space, NASA officials say that the two astronauts
who took a ride on the Boeing Star Line are
up to the International Space Station and we're supposed to
be there for a month. Well they've been there for
like two months now because they got up there on
June sixth, and now NASA is saying they might not
be able to return until February of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
That's if they have to catch a ride on a
SpaceX crew.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Direct, you're gonna have to actually get an elon musk ride. Boy,
that's not embarrassing for either NASA and more importantly, that's
not embarrassing for Boeing. I'll tell you what. They're scared
to death. Those astronauts get on the board that spacecraft
start going back to Earth and the door blows off,
and NASA is saying, ain't gonna happen on our watch.
(08:28):
So thank you to Boweing.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, yeah, back off Arrowhead. So Arrowhead or the company
has been pulling water out of the San Bernardino Mountains
since nineteen o six. There are springs up in the
mountains and Arrowheads been bottling that water and selling it.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Well. Now the federal government is saying.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And they've decided not to renew a permit the US
for a service is denied Blue Tritons permit to extract
water after environmental activists claim that the removal of the
water is harming wildlife.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Now look at this, what a business model this is.
Can you imagine any manufacturing or service provider where you
pay nothing for the base product. Let's say your auto company,
your manufacturing cars, you pay nothing for the metal or
the electronics, or the steering wheel or the wheels. This
(09:30):
is arrowhead. They pay nothing for the water, or virtually nothing.
I can't even imagine how much they don't pay to
the FEDS for the water. And so the natural spring water,
I guess, is going to be natural tap water. You know,
there are a lot of companies that basically just filter
water and here you go, here's a bottle of water.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
But think how high their water bills must be.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know what, don't know how expensive water is when
they sell it to you in a bottle for three
bucks a bottle.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
All right, another day, another attack on Metro. A man
has been arrested after he allegedly attacked a woman at
a Metro station in Pasadena. Happened on the A Lines
Allen station about five forty yesterday yesterday morning. According to witnesses,
the guy punched the woman, knocked her to the ground,
(10:26):
dragged her onto the dirt, kicked her onto the tracks,
and then dragged her out onto the two ten freeway
and then he ran off.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
And now they've arrested him.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Okay. You know what we have to do amy is
sort of change the way we approach news, and that is,
I think, at a given time every day, you do
the today's metro attack report, and you simply do the
report as to how many people were attacked on metro
and what happened and if anybody died. Good news is
(10:58):
no one died today, And it's uh, every day. When's
the last time we didn't do a.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Metro attack yesterday? Although the attack happened yesterday.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Okay, so we missed the timing. Okay, but it was
a metro attack yesterday, and it's early. It's only six
twenty two or six twenty three, where I think it's
what six twenty one. We're on this minute delay business.
In case I say something wrong and you say something.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Wrong, Oh, don't look me into that.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's the broadcasting a little inside baseball. I thought i'd
share with everything. I share everything with everybody.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I know.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I've gotten such grief from management over the years, saying
you have to share everything. I go, Yeah, of course
I do. Well if people are if they deign to listen,
and they're kind enough to listen, all right, you know
what I'll share what's going on? Okay, let's continue on.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Okay, wait, there's more speaking of Metro.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
Oh yeah, so down in Long Beach then or over
in Long Beach, a man has been shot by police.
This happened near Fifth Street and Pacific Avenue at the
Metro station, and witnesses say a man was walking near
the station and was seen taking a gun out of
his backpack and putting it in his waistband. Officers confronted him.
(12:25):
There was some sort of confrontation there, and then police
shot him.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
This is actually good news for the police department because
they can shut down their firing ranges for practice and
just send their the practice teams to the Metro and
here you go, and you're going to get some really
good practice. It's pretty crazy. It really is the same.
(12:51):
Would anybody go on Metro? I mean I would not
get near a Metro line. I remember when Metro first
opened up and we did a whole story the first
one opened up, I don't remember how many years ago,
and a bunch of us had to report and KFI
I went there. It was all homeless people, that was it.
Even back then, it was all yeah, it started as
(13:12):
a homelessly homeless encampment where people just lived on the
Metro buses. It was like a cruise ship. It was
a moving hotel that went back and forth from station
to station and you could stop. You oh, you know
what it is. It's like those drive and hop off
buses you do in Hollywood that it goes around and
(13:35):
you can get off anytime and get back on. That's
what Metro was like for homeless people.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I didn't realize it had always been that.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Way, like, oh, yeah, no, it's from day one.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
There was an issue with that dare up in the
Bay Area, the Bay Area Rapid Transit system that was
really really nice when it opened, Like my mom used
to drop us off and we'd go and ride the
bar all day like because that's what it was clean
and it was fast and it was fun.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And well, if you fly into Oakland, you fly into
SFO San Francisco International or which is way south of
the city, or you can go to Oakland across the
Bay and it's the same ride. And flying into Oakland
is a lot cheaper, always has been than into San Francisco.
And then you would get on the Metro and the
(14:21):
problem is when you got on the Metro station which
was about a mile away from the airport or a
mile and a half. You had to get on a
bus and then you had to get off the bus
and go to the metro station. And the metro station
there was the station of death. It was such a
sketchy area that you would good chance you would die
(14:42):
because it was that kind of area, and I always
enjoyed it. Well, I didn't enjoy the death part, but
I really enjoyed the ride on bart Then I think
it's now to the airport, so you don't have nearly
as much fun.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
So, speaking of the death part, would you want to
know if you are going to die? No, Well, the
family of a French explorer who died in that submersible implosion,
remember it was going down to see the Titanic and
it imploded. The family has filed a more than fifty
million dollar lawsuit saying the crew experienced terror and mental
anguish before the disaster, and accused the subs operator of
(15:22):
gross negligence.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, now that's interesting. The lawsuit for wrongful death may
work or not work, but this is emotional distress that
they're also really suing for, and I think it's quite
a lawsuit. The lawsuit says the crew may well have
heard fiber the carbon fiber's crackling noise grow more intense
(15:47):
as the water pressure pressed on the titan's hole. They
could have heard it. Okay, not necessarily hurt it, but
they could have. And I get those questions all the
time on handle on the law. I could have been
in an accident. I could have been hit. I could
have been beat up when I was in the gang area.
(16:10):
Were you well, no, but I could have. And then
I always share exactly the same philosophy of law. And
this is why I'm such a great lawyer. And that is,
if my grandmother had balls, she'd be my grandfather. But
she doesn't, so therefore she could have been, but she's not.
(16:30):
And that's the concept here.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Ain't gonna fly, Okay, Debbie's not done yet.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Tropical Storm Debbie has made its second landfall in the US.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It happened early this morning.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
This time it came on to shore in South Carolina
with fifty mile an hour winds, torrential rains spawning tornadoes,
and they're expecting some pretty severe flooding and it's crawling
along in about five miles per hour.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It was a.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Category one hurricane on Monday when I first came ashore
in Florida. It's lost some power since then, but it's
dumped more than a foot of rain over parts of Florida, Georgia,
and South Carolina.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
It's killed at least five people.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, it's a bad one. It's about well. We knew
it was going to be a bad one, and we
didn't know early on where it was going to go,
because originally I thought maybe it was going to go
into the Gulf Midway, where we could have said, Debbie
does Dallas, and unfortunately we are not a I would
have loved for that to have happened.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
It was looking good for a while.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Then the Dow dipped again, So the Dow Jones Industrial
Average was trading up is more than four hundred points yesterday,
looking like we were going to have another day of
rallying after that one thousand point loss on Tuesday or
on Monday actually, but nope, it fell, so it ended
up down two hundred and thirty four points yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
So it looks like we are right there on the
precipice of the recession, or at least the y mcdownturn sore.
The happening. We don't know, and then we kind of
saying we're gonna have a soft landing, which we have
not had. I mean, this economy has been roaring.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And this also means if there's this much of a
slow down, if the stocks drop dramatically and stay there,
even though it's there in the stock market is insanely high,
it's still up for the year.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
It's still up over thirty nine thousand.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
I know. It's I mean, it's nuts, it really is.
And then we'll see ah an interest rate drop by
the Feds, probably September when the next meet or in
an emergency they can do it immediately, but that's not
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
So it was a year ago today that Lahina was
almost wiped completely off the map.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Remember the flames, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Started on Maui and just tore through Lahina and basically
destroyed this small historic town.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
But researchers are saying.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
That they are optim mystic because the reefs, coral reefs,
are recovering from the impacts of the wildfire.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
And that big tree is it a banyon tree?
Speaker 2 (19:08):
What's the yes, the big it is it's a Banyan
tree in the middle of town or the middle of
the historic here.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
It's growing and it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, Lahina started in the eighteen hundreds as a whaling
town and the history of it it's incredible and a
lot of those buildings that date back to those days.
I mean, you talk about history, it's absolutely great. Anybody
read James Mitchener's Hawaii, which is a phenomenal book, all
(19:36):
thousand pages of it, and it is based Lahaina is
a huge part of it. Also, I don't know if
you ever been to Molokai, the leper colony. Oh, that's
a lot of fun going there.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You can are there still?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, yeah, there's still there are still lepers there. Yeah,
yeah there or last I went, I don't know if
they stay. If you stay there, you know, the lepers
who stay there, you sort of have to have leprosy
is it's paid for all paid for by the government.
The government gives them a stipend and it's they're supported
one hundred percent by the government. But you have to
live there. And today leprosy is completely controlled. You know,
(20:16):
it's chronic. You know, fingers and appendages don't fall off anymore, which,
by the way, that's that is hugely entertaining with someone.
Schwantz literally falls off when they have leprosy. Okay, let's
just move on.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay, let's see the war rages on in Ukraine. Russian
forces are battling Ukrainian troops for a third day after
they smashed through the Russian border in the Kursk region.
So it was one of the biggest Ukrainian attacks on
Russia in the two year war. About a thousand Ukrainian
troops rammed through the Russian border early on the morning
(20:53):
of August sixth, with tanks and armored vehicles and covered
by swarms of drones and artillery from this from the sky.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, Vladimir Putin calls it a major provocation, as if
the attack on Ukraine was not a major provocation. Right.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I just think it's amazing how they spin these things
and things that we're going to believe it.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
It's absolutely crazy and it's and I'll tell you what
I sort of didn't understand and why Putin didn't do this.
Usually when a country attacks a neighboring country, much like
what the Nazis did and other countries, it's because they're
there to liberate the people in that country, because they're
(21:38):
under the In this case, it would be the Ukrainian
government is treating the Russians on the eastern part of Ukraine,
that is with the border with Russia and treating him.
So the Ukrainian people who speak Russian begged Russia to
come in and save them. That's the way they spin.
And it's just it's horrific, it really is. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Amy, Costco's cracking down on membership moochers.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
So you've probably seen it. You may have even tried
it us talking about to me or to the audience,
to the audience.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Using somebody else's card to get into Costco. Okay, well,
Costco's cracking down on that. So they're doing it in
a kinder, gentler way. But instead of like calling you
out for it, they're just having you scan the Costco
card before you go into the store.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yeah, today, yesterday, It's exactly what happened to me. Exactly.
They put it in a couple of days ago. And
there's the scanning and you put your card up and
it scans. Although there are people right there at this point,
standing membership people, and as you walk in, they point
to the scanner and go here, scan here, as if
(22:46):
you're a special needs customer. Yeah, I know what a
scanner looks like, Thank you very much, but they still
I mean that is now the thing. You scan the
card to get in the door, and if you are
either it is expired or let's say you don't have
a card, they gently move you over to the membership
(23:06):
line and go here, why don't you sign up as
a member?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Easy, easy, psy yep.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So much for athletes treating their bodies as temples. An
Australian Olympic hockey field player or Olympic field hockey player,
has been arrested for buying cocaine in Paris. He's been
taken into custody then released, and he put out a
statement and said I would like to apologize for what
has occurred. I made a terrible mistake and take full responsibility.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, he made a mistake. Of the good news is
he did it in Paris and not in Russia. So yeah,
I wonder if he would do, you know, having, you know,
having dabbled in the world of cocaine just before I
went into drug rehab years ago, I would guess he
(24:00):
would do better on coke, nice buzzy high.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Okay, Okay, just saying Zell's under investigation. Apparently there's some
problems with all this money going back and forth, and
so the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is investigating major US
banks for how they're handling customer funds on the so
called peer to peer payment platform called Zell.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
YEP.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
It involves JP, Morgan, Chase, Bank of America, and Wells Farga.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
And at seven o'clock top of the hour, I'm doing
this story because there is a lot here and a
lot of people use Zel, including me. I use Zel,
I do too.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I haven't heard it. I've never had any fraud.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
But now, before you do it, have you noticed that
now the screen pops up and you're supposed to like say, yes,
I read all these warnings.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Yes, it lets you do it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah. And you have to be pretty dumb to get scammed.
I mean, you know, there are a couple of rules
that you follow, and they're not that hard to follow,
and the chances of you get he scammed or minuscule.
But it's the numbers of the amount of money that's
transferred on Zell is so enormous that even a tiny
little fraction is a very big, big, big number. And
(25:19):
that's coming up the top of the hour.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
The Wild and Crazy Guy doesn't want to be Tim Walls.
So Lourene Michaels from Saturday Night Live apparently called Steve
Martin and said, Hey, Steve, do you want to impersonate
Tim Walls? Who is the new vice presidential Canada or
will be when it's official. And Steve Martin said, nah, thanks,
(25:45):
but no thanks, he said, he said he turned it
down because he's not an impressionist, and he said he
would struggle with trying to impersonate well. And he said,
you need somebody who can really just nail him.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
And he doesn't look like him particularly, he's lot thinner.
It's just because he wears glasses and he has white hair,
and I guess that's Tim Wallas occasionally does that. But
I think you're going to well, I hold that back.
If Donald Trump gets elected, you are going to see
Alec Baldwin coming back as Donald Trump on SNL. However,
(26:22):
my guess is he won't. They will not bring him
back for fear that he would shoot one of the
camera people.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Okay, moving on to happier things. The governor has pronounced
or proclaimed that today is California Panda Day. Because the
giant pandas are making their public debut at the San
Diego Zoo today.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Love it, that's sweet.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It is sweet.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
They haven't been here for a while. These are the
first it's the first new set of pandas to come
to the US in twenty one years. Remember we had
like a little tiff with China and they said, okay,
give us our pandacea.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, yeah, they're on loan. China does not give pandas
to anybody. They loan them, They actually lease them. And
these what mu gu Guy panda is one of them.
And then if there are orange pandas. By the way,
did you know that, actually they're called the orange chicken pandas,
but no, they really are orange pandas. Now people will
(27:20):
wait five hours in line to go see the pandas.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Oh yeah, the lines are gonna be I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
They're going to be enormous. And I would never wait
five hours. Now, I'm gonna give you a little hint.
And I know, you know I'm being obnoxious here, I'm
you know, being self arrandizing. If you ever go to
the Beijing Zoo, if you ever ever have a chance
to go to China, you want to go to the
panda exhibit because there they have hot and cold running pandas.
(27:48):
There are pandas all over the place. They roll around.
You have pandas until you can't see anymore pandas. You
get sick of pandas over there.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
You'd never get sick of it.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
And I wanted you to know that. I was like,
is there really an orange chicken panda?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
So I look a no, look orange pandas.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
There are orange pandas. There's not orange chicken pandas.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Well, well, they know they nose e chickens. So it's
fair to.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Say that when I googled it, I got Panda Express
and orange chicken Pop.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Well, okay, that's some orange. The orange pandas don't eat bamboo, okay.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
But the pandas here eat like forty pounds of bamboo
a day.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And the zeo says they've got eight different varieties, so
the pandas will have different bamboos to choose from.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's like choosing from column A collum b or you
go to panda, you go to PF chains and you
can choose on the menu. It's a there's a there's
a thing there. This is KF. I am six forty
