You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM

Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, Bill Handle here in the Morning crew on Friday,
September thirteen. A quick reminder, my podcast is up and
running every Tuesday and Thursday. New episode drops right at
nine o'clock as I walk out of the show.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yesterday's was Robert F.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Kennedy Junior, The Craziest Kennedy that ever was. Podcast available
on all the platforms. It's the Bill Handle Show podcast,
the Bill Handle Show podcast, and the website is the
Bill handleshowpodcast dot com. Now, before I get to Neil,
where I include Neil on this also is we've made
changes on the show over the years. You know, for example,
(00:45):
Neil started with US January first of this year, Big Mistake.
Amy is relatively new with US Kno. Actually we're probably
a pretty new crowd, and so changes.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Have been made.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We've added people at I did drop people interviews that
sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well down at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm gonna try something and I'm going to see if
it works as a segment, and going back to the
archives of Handle on the Law phone calls, and we're
gonna see I think it's just fun listening to them,
and these go back years, So we'll do that at
the bottom of the hour. But first it's Neil Savedra
with Foody Friday.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Tomorrow two to.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Five is the Fork Report, and he's that Fork reporter, Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Kamala, Ben and Jerry Flavor.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Come on, really, you didn't see that coming.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You know what? In retrospect I should have and no
I did not. Yeah, what's the flavor? What is it?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Kamala's Coconut Jubilee?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh, come on, coconut Jubilee for her husband, Doug Imhoff.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I get that.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And Juillie well yeah, and what is the other flavor
just to coconut Jubilee? Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
What is what is the Jewbilee part? What is what
is Jubilee flavored ice cream?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's just just happiness.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's oh, there you go. You should use commercials for
these guys.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Uh yeah, and there would be thrilled.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
But they're they're talking about scoop the vote and they're
going to have an ice cream truck tour. This obviously
is going to tie into people voting. Of course they
want there more with the progressive side of things, So
I think their launch picks off. Yeah, I know on
September sixteenth in Philadelphia that's going to coincide with the
(02:44):
start of early voting.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
So they're teaming up with Move On Political Action for
their scoop the vote.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And are these when they come up with this, I'm
assuming these are temporary flavors. But somebody got in my
chair Garcia, and I know that Jerry Garcia's family.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
They came to some kind of an arrangement.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
There was a lawsuit file, But so I'm guessing a
Kamalis said, of course, yes, but is that a temporary flavor?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
If it works, it's gonna be there forever. Oh no,
I think these are all temp flavors. They've done this
before inaugurations, celebration, birthday cake, Fight for Our Rights, sorbet,
move On, Mobilizer milk chocolate. I think they did a
Bertie Sanders flavor at one point. This is you know,
(03:35):
this goes with what they've done in the past, and
it's just kind of a way of it's on brand
for them and to say vote progressive, that's.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Cool, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I remember the Bertie Sanders flavor.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Was it like half an ounce of ice cream for
forty three dollars?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You just pay a lot and get very little.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Well they gave it away to everyone, Yeah, and only
charged the rich.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's you know, they have been.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They have been so politically involved Ben and Jerry's, although
they're now owned by a conglomerate, aren't they.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah, they're not owned you know, the guys, the original
guys still are spokespeople in the like and are very
vocal about the the political mindset and direction of Ben
and Jerry's. But no, it's not owned by them anymore,
but they, you know, they're they're still on brand and folks.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, yeah, and I'm surprised.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I don't know which conglomerate bought him, but I'm kind
of surprised that they a company, like a major corporate corporation,
would allow one of its brands to be that political,
that involved politically, that is very rare.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, they're owned by Unilever.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah, it's a big company.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, you know, it's not a political company.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I mean it's not.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
It's like Disney that got into politics fairly early on
and with the LGBTQ issue.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It's Unilever. They do soap.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Yeah, but you know what, that used to be the
thing with corporations I don't think it is anymore. They
have stepped up, and I think younger folks are very
interested in companies that have some.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Sort of political bent or global interest.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
All right, Neil, back we go, and let's finish our
last segment of Foody Friday. And that, as I said,
we have a new superhero called super Veggie.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
So the CDC, a lot of people don't know this,
look over different vegetables and fruits and the like, and
they grade them, they give them points for their nutritional punch.
And the CDC has just named watercress the healthiest vegetable
out there. I don't like using the term healthy or
(05:53):
unhealthy much. I usually if it's healthful or nutrition nutrition, yeah, deads.
I think that that's better. But this one gets a
score of one hundred out of one hundred, beats out
Chinese cabbage by more than eight points, and Chinese cabbage
(06:15):
is thought to be one of the best out there.
So nutritionists aren't surprised because if you really look at
what the watercress has going for it, it really is
a powerhouse and at outdoes some of the ones that
you might come to mind, like spinach from the old
Popeye Cartoons, which comes in an eighty six point four
(06:38):
to three beat. Root is eighty seven point zero eight.
Swiss shard is eighty nine point meal seven.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, let me throw something at you. You know, Swiss
charred and Chinese cabbage. I mean those are veggies. Those
you serve with meals. Watercress is high tea where you
have these little watercress.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Sandwich is a little.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Cream, cheese and a little watercress, and you are done.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
What do you do with watercress.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I know that it's going to fall into the category
of salad for the most part.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You're right, it's not.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
There's not a whole lot that people think of when
you do it. But it actually makes four great omelets,
it makes four great soup is. I've even found it
in you know, wantons and dumplings, So it depends.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
But yeah, you kind of see it.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
As a bed of something on the bottom of I
don't know, salmon or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But I've seen it.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Served with clams. I've seen it in all kinds of ways.
Soups is wonderful. There's a watercress soup with pickled cucumbers
that's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It really is.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
You have to get creative with it with it, but
there is much to be done with it.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And it's it's other than fiber.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
It's lower in fiber than many others, but it does
pack a great wall when it comes to nutrition.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, And does it have any taste because I've never
had watercrests of any volume at all.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
What it tastes like all?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Its sure, it's bright, it's fresh.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
It it.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Tastes like chicken.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
No, no, but but it is bright, and.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
I don't know, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
It has you know, some grassy notes and all of
those things come with it. But it's you know, a
leafy you know, uh, chrysiferous veggie.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know, Neil, I must tell you most of the
time what you talk about is really interesting stuff. And
then there's watercress talk, Trader Joe's super mold.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
What is that? Okay?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
So this was an interesting story that's popping up all
over the place because a young woman who loves mixing
syrup with her overnight oats, and I know a lot
of people do these, she opened up, you know, Trader
Joe's is known for good, wonderful fresh products, and she
got this big old pantry container of syrup and thought, yeah,
(09:15):
you open it up, you use it, and you put
it in the pantry. Unfortunately, if you're not reading labels,
there are things that maybe growing up you probably had
a much more processed or filled with you know, preservatives
and things like that type syrup and you kept it
in the pantry. But if you're getting a really good
(09:36):
maple syrup, once you open it, you should put it
into the refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
She wasn't doing that. She was finding that after.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
A little while the oats that she was making with
the syrup that has been in her hot pantry was
making or she wasn't feeling good, and she finally found
out and she got to the end of it that
there mold in it. So keep in mind that it's
not just what it says on you know, as far
(10:05):
as itspiration day. It's about keeping things in the proper
environment to keep them fresh.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
See. I thought you were gonna go like, you can
use it the way mold works on blue cheese, But
I guess not.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Different type of mold, sir. Not all molds are good.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Some are edible, and there's actually some science going on
right now where they are using mold to repurpose food
waste to make it into a new flavor base and
something that's edible. I was talking with Gary and Shannon
about this on Tasty Tuesday, that there is progress with
(10:43):
science and trying to come up with these things. Mold
it can be a very positive and helpful thing, but
bad mold just.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Because bad stuff, all right, Neil Tomorrow The Fork Report,
Saturday afternoon, two to five tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Handle on the Law eight o'clock. I take phone calls.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
And the show's been around for a long time, and
if you have never listened to Handle on the Law,
it's a caller driven I give marginal legal advice. This
show has gone on for decades, so I thought I
would do this segment.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
See if it works.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
See, we're going to add it to the show of
reaching back into the archives of the show and taking
phone calls or playing for you some of the phone calls. Sokno,
Let's start with a phone call that I got a
few years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Hello Anthony near up. Hello, Hello, yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
About eight months ago, my girlfriend and I received a
phone call from her girlfriend she needed to ride home
from the bar, that she had been drinking too much
opera traveling and giving her ride home. About a half
hour after week out there, her ex boyfriend broke the
door down and came at me with a machete and
cut my left arm off.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Okay, now I want to stop you right there. All right,
just okay, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I want everybody to know who is listening. First of all,
we do not set these phone calls up. I will
tell you right now.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
All right. Uh, these come in unsolicit.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Well that's not true. I do solicit them. But they
come in and we have no idea who calls.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
So Anthony, I'm going to see where this phone call goes.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Okay, arm cut off by machette right there, arm goes
flying off?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
All right?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
It was. It was the only thing that was the
only thing that kept the task was a one piece
of skins with danglin saw it back on?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You sawed it back on?
Speaker 6 (12:44):
No? No, no, no no no. The hospital did there
was in construction. My whole adult life had to be
retrained in another career.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Wow. All right.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
A couple other questions are you are you right handed
or left handed?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Well I'm right handed.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
And was it your right arm or left arm?
Speaker 6 (13:04):
No, sir, where's my left Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Thank god? So at least you know, so masturbation is
still available.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Left hand when you want something.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Okay, great, where we shouldn't go there even though I
started it?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
All right? So what's your question?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
I mean, let's assume this is true and at least
it sounds good. So some guy comes in, just takes
a machete and cuts.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Your arm off, what is your question?
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Breaks the bear down and comes at me, cuts my
arm off. She was a winner, she was with in
the place. And I want to know if the homeowners
shouldn't have Wrinners insurance, one of the homeowner's inshurants. My
bills are upwards eighty thousand.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Sure, I'm surprised they're I'm surprised they're only eighty thousand dollars. Yes,
homeowner's insurance most policies, if you look at him, specifically,
have clauses protecting the homeowner from people coming in and
getting their arms cut off by a machete. Okay, excellent,
good for you, go ahead, Yes, call the homeowners association
(14:05):
the insurance company.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Wow, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
All right, So that was the old machete cutting off
the arm. Does the homeowner's insurance cover that question?
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Let me do one more.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
And this is a lady by the name of Dora
who called me Hi, Dora, Hi, yes.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Dora, Yes, yes, mister Handel, I was accused of sexual
harassment by a male co worker.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay, what did he accuse you of doing? I love
it when women are accused of sexual harassment. They're always
great stories.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Excuse me of asking him to leave his shirt so
I can touch his stomach, that every time he passes by,
I make sexual noises, and that I.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Have sexual noises. Told me, all right, what did they did?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
They specifically tell you what kind of noises there are
sexually here?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
No, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Know what sexual noise. Well I do know what sexual
noises are, but I.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Mean, yeah, that's what. So this, uh, this thing was
sent to Human Resources and they are conducting an investigations
as we speak. My my, of course this is not true,
but in the meantime they have affected me very bad.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Okay, yeah, you hang on a sec. Did the investigation
proved nothing? So the HR investigation effectively said there's nothing there?
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Correct, They said, they haven't told me anything. I said
when it's going to be done? They said days, But
they haven't yet.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Okay, And you're still working there, correct, Yes, I am
all right.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
And you're still seeing him? Correct?
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Cor Oh, tell me about the relationship that you have
with him as you guys are passing each other in
the hall or you're seeing each other at work.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
What's that like now?
Speaker 5 (16:09):
Yeah? Well now I told I feel really bad and yeah,
of course.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
But are you interacting with him at all?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yes? No, they Yes, I am, because yesterday I needed
to give report to him. I worked at my work,
you know when we I'm a nurse and.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay, is he a supervisor?
Speaker 5 (16:32):
No, he's just a co worker.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Okay, got it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
And HR is going to come back and in the meantime,
you're having a rough time.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I get that.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
I cannot I I feel yeah, no, I get it.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
The accusation is pretty insane. Is he Is he producing
any witnesses?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Do you know?
Speaker 5 (16:46):
No? Do you have approved? I told the people they
didn't say anything.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Okay, Well here is Wow, that's a tough one.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
It is.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Yeah, no, and I'm just loving the sexual noise is
part of it. Forgive me, but that's that's something I've
never heard of.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
It.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Yeah, that is just insane.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, I know it is. It is I'm trying to
think of what do you do?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
First of all, yeah, and HR has not yet come
in with this decision, and they said days, how long
has it been? Less than a week? So I mean
doing investigation should do less than a week. So I'm
just trying to think of what you do. First of
I can go to HR and go, you know what,
I want a decision and I want it now.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Okay, that's for starters, then, yeah, it's that's the first
thing you do is demand a a decision as quickly
as possible.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
And then let them know that that he is providing
a hostile work environment by making the allegations and throw
it right back at them. And what I would do
is I get a lawyer and start suing him.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I'd start harassing him with a legal a legal complaint.
Now are you represented? Are you represented by a union?
Are you unionized?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yes? Go to your union rep and start saying I'm done,
I need some representation and I need it now.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
And go to HR and say this is and crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I mean, get really upset with HR and say this
is completely insane.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I want you to do something about it.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Take the offensive, okay, okay, become Donald Trump, Yes, take
the offensive, all.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Right, Yeah, but yeah, okay, so tell me what kind of.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Lawyers can you want to a discrimination workplace discrimination attorney?
But I don't know if there's anything there yet. You
probably you know, you can't do anything until after until
after the an adjudication has been made or a decision
has been made by HR and then they say there's
nothing there. And yeah, because you can't go, it doesn't
(18:55):
help to sue him. I mean, it's a waste of time.
Then what you do is simply start screaming hostile working
vironment and forced.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Them to do something about it.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So at this point, all you're doing is paying for
a lawyer letter, which is why I'm suggesting that you
contact your attorney through your union. Okay, okay, Yeah, taking
off his shirt and rubbing his stomach, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
Yes, and not only that, but every time he passes by,
I make sexually noises.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah I know, I love the sexual noises, smacking your lips,
going a baby, a baby, Yeah no, no, I get that.
I tried that once, and let me tell you that
doesn't work at all.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah. I was traveling once, went to Italy.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Took my jacket threw it over my shoulders nonchalantly, had
a cigarette dangling from my mouth, which snap my fingers
and go A baby, a baby to all the women
that passed. Let me tell you how well that worked, huh?
And that those are sexual noises, don't you think?
Speaker 5 (19:57):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, that was a couple of phone calls.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That one a little long because I took it too seriously.
I actually try at some time to give decent legal advice. Sometimes, yes,
sometimes no. Calls are generally very interesting. It's tomorrow eight
to eleven o'clock, and so let's do this. I am
going to finish the show as I do every Friday,
(20:21):
with this week's World and.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Review Living under a Rock.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Well, here's what you've missed, piping hot off the newswires
from around the corner.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
To around that world. This is this week's World in review.
All right, we've got a lot to cover.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's been a pretty momentous week. First of all, the
debate that happened between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, and
it was on Tuesday, and I think it's fair to
say that Kamala Harris came out the winner on this one.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
That seems to be the universal response.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Other than some really die hard Republicans, and certainly Donald Trump,
who insists that he woned he well, let's just say
that even.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
His Republican buddies realists.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Said he didn't do all that. All that well, Hurricane
France scene. I don't know if you've seen the videos,
but what Hurricane France scene did to the Gulf Coast New.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Orleans and its surrounding area.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Came aboard as a Category two hurricane ahead of landfall
in Louisiana, and.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Really severe impacts.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Felled, hundreds of thousands of people didn't have power, and
you saw the storm surge and just a lot of devastation,
and it's you know, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Gonna get worse. It's gonna get worse.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Hurricane season is here, and there are more storms because
of climate change. And if I don't know, if you've
seen the news reports where you see how many of
these tropical storms are out there in the Atlantic, the
south southern part of the Atlantic.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It is big time problems, to say the least.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Campbell Soup Company one hundred and fifty five years, it's
no longer the Campbell Soup Company.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
It's changing its name.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It is rebranding now the red and white label stays,
but its name changes a little slightly. It is going
to be the Campbell Pretzels, Cookies, vegetable juice, meat soup company.
It's going to take a lot of space on that can,
but be prepared.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And then I talked earlier about more Gaza deaths. At
least forty people killed in an overnight Israeli strike on
a humanitarian zone.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
A school turned into a shelter.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Israel says Hamas, militants were sequestered there the UN and
Hamas says, no, not at all, all right, some bad news.
James Earl Jones died just the man was revered ninety
three years old.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
A life well lived, to say the least.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The walk which happened I think yesterday Polaris Don private
space flight funded by well it was a billionaire funded,
it was a friend of Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Went up in the air.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
And I mean high, like five hundred and sixty miles
up in the air, and you could see up in
space and you can see the Earth. The difference between
viewing the Earth from low orbit of a couple hundred
miles and five hundred miles up there is huge and
then finally, Taylor Swift came out and said she's supporting
Vice President Kamala Harris and suggests that her followers go
(23:37):
