Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And this is KFI Bill Handle here on a Wednesday morning,
October two. Quick reminder this weekend, this Saturday, Neil is
broadcasting The Fork Report is show two to five here
on KFI at the Poquito Moss in Encino, celebrating forty
(00:26):
years of burritos.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Well, I'm not me, I'm I no, you're celebrating their
forty years of burritos. Yes, they've been making burritos, tacos,
tostadas imas there for forty years. Gavin have terrific shrimp
by the way.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh, I don't know. I love shrimp.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
They have top excellent shrimp.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, it's good food.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I like, I really like their food. Everything is insanely fresh.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah, that's the key. Won't be celebrating. There have
some swag to give out. Just come by and say hi.
I'd love to meet you. It would be my honor
to shake your hand and say hi. And I don't
want to be sitting by myself like uh.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Like you normally do so, uh, donal a favor, okay,
give him give him a mercy stop, would you please
and show up and uh, you know, make him feel
like he actually has some influence and he has some listeners.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So that's this.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Saturday from two to five, the Fork Report at the
Polkito Boss in Encino. Also, you know, I don't know
if we have time for this, because I want to
give you a little bit of history that occurred when
I was listening to Amy and Amy. Israel has declared
uh uh the UN official as a persona non grata. Yes,
(01:49):
and to give you and they're saying, oh, the UN
is totally uh anti Israel, anti Semitic. Uh. Of the
UN resolutions that have been since the creation of the UN,
there have been more anti Israeli resolutions than any other
resolution that ever has been passed by.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The Security Council. All Right, all right, that's for starters.
And then I'm gonna throw a little historical factoid at you.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
The Secretary General of the UN two terms, and I
think it was back the eighty seventies was a guy
by the name of Kurt Voldheim who was a Nazi,
straight out Nazi.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
During the thirties.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We're not talking about Pope Benedict the sixteenth, who was
an let's say, unenthusiastic member the way he put it,
of the Hitler youth. And by the way, to give
him some credit, every kid had to be in the
Hitler youth.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
During the Nazi.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Regime, Kurt Woldheim was in the army and a Nazi
UN secretary general for two terms. Then he ran for
President of Austria and was elected president of Austria.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know, I could never come in the United States.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
There was a warrant or there was a warrant for
him for being a war criminal, and he could never
come to the United States. The UN. Let me tell
you how anti Israel the UN. From the day the
Israel was created, you had the UN, especially the General Assembly.
(03:41):
My god, you have the General Assembly has been so
anti Israel consistently. So it's not Israel going crazy here
and saying, oh my god, we're being stepped on, We're
being discriminated against.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That is a fact and you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Can look it up google that history of UN resolutions
and it is no surprise. And we're going to see
what happens when the Security Council is meeting over what
just happened. I guarantee you you're going to hear some
language coming out of the resolution that nails Israel. It
(04:19):
is Israel's fault because you're going to hear proportional reaction
to the for example, the murder, the terrorist attack from Hamas, and.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You're going to see that Israel.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You're going to hear You are going to hear resolution
come out that Israel should refrain from responding to the
attack of Iran because Israel should not start World War
III and effectively. And I'm guessing now we'll see what
happens with the UN resolution because they're meeting and man,
they're sweating bullets. You're going to see that somehow Israel
(04:57):
is responsible for all of this, and just drives me
completely crazy. Okay, we're out of time, so I've got
a couple of minutes, and I don't want to do
the story.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We'll do that tomorrow, and so I now have to
kill two minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, how about a joke or too, Neil, anything you'd
like to talk about Amy, anything you'd like to bring up,
because we still have a couple of minutes. So I'm
betwixt and between on this way. I wanted to comment
and then I ran out of time.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
What there is something that I was remiss in saying
about this Saturday's broadcast from Poqito Moss. Our friends from
Zelman's are going to be there and they'll be giving
away some samples of Zelmens.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh how cool is that?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So? Okay, yeah, so you can have all the onions
and garlic you want.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's terrific.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I want to point out, and I think we're
negotiating this right now, is that one winner and you
have to be there to you have to be present
to win. We'll receive Poquito Moss franchise and it is
no small deal.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Sure, thanks, Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's how we get people showing up.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yes with lies, yes, yes, yes, no, it's and you
can give yourself free burritos all day long.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
By the way, I don't even know are they company
owned or are they franchises.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I don't even know, Neil.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I think they're all owned by the same person. I mean,
I think they're all there. They're they're all company owned. Yeah,
I think there's six locations and I don't think they're franchises.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, well, great food.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So anyway, we end up the segment after having spun
in a different direction.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Neil is on Saturday two to five.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The Fork Report will be at the Poquito Moss in Encino,
and please show up because otherwise he's gonna be one depressed,
depressed person.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, I'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I just know you won't. People, No, you won't. I've
talked to you after you've had a remote event and
no one showed up. I know how miserable you are
days the day man. Yeah, that's true, all right now.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Neil and I have talked about this many many a time,
and he has talked about this on his show The
Fork Report Saturday two to five here on KFI.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And that is the food labels that you see in the.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Market that says sell by or best before, Neil. There's
a lot of confusion there and they have yet to
pass laws specifically talking about what that means.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
In Europe they've had issues with this as well, not
as bad as we have here, but it's pretty crazy
to think there are fifty five zero different descriptions that
are used on food about best buy, sell buy, freshest
(08:07):
used by. The thing is there is no consistent or
regulated term to use, and so people don't know what's
going on because there is only one food item that
is actually regulated, and that is baby formula. That is
(08:28):
the only food that the expiration date is the expiration
date and you're not supposed to use it after that.
Everything else it has different things. Sell buy has nothing
to do with us. Sell by is what the store
uses to stock and regulate and move the product up off.
So if it's used by they might take it off
(08:51):
the shelf at that point, but they may use it
for I don't know, if they make chili or if
they use whatever. If they if they make other food,
you know, prepared food or something like that, they'll use
it because it's still good. It just means they don't
want it on their shelves anymore. They want to move it.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So by the way that this do they throw it away.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
So you have a sell buy the twenty second, So
here it is the twenty second.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They either put it into a discount area or like
I said, they use it for pre prepared foods and
then they have other uses sometimes as well. But it's
absolutely still still good. As a matter of fact, the
date on your eggs when you buy you know, a
dozen eggs or something, the date on the carton oftentimes
(09:40):
has at least four weeks past that date where the
eggs are still good. Yeah, even longer. You just have
to check them.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, I do that with milk and at my house,
and I hate this. If that milk carton says use by,
let's say the fifteenth and to keep the milk. Oh no, no, no,
it says used by, therefore the milk goes south. It
can go another week and go another ten days.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You know what I do.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I actually I actually test the milk by drinking it.
And if it isn't, if it hasn't become buttermilk, it
is still taste sweet, I use it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Well, it's funny the thing you said about buttermilk. There
are still chefs that will use it to cook or
bake with because there's the flavors are still usable and
it won't harm you. So yeah, I mean there's there's
much to research on that. You have to do your
own poking around and see those at what point? But yeah,
(10:41):
buttermilk is basically basically curdling the milk with an acid.
You can make buttermilk at home with a lemon and
regular milk. So all these things are suggestions. It does.
It doesn't magically know you know it if you had
it in your car it'll go bad in an hour.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, shrimp.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Shrimp on a hot day in your car is a
little problematic. So how far do you go? And I
know it's at different different dates for different products, but
what's the farthest you will go? And I'm assuming it's
eggs the way you described it.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Eggs, Yeah, eggs are probably And I use the egg test.
I've told people about this before, Bulliancy test. So you
get a glass that's whiter than the egg and about
four inches tall. You fill it with water, you lightly
drop the egg in there with a spoon. If it floats,
it's bad. That means it's starting to decay on the inside,
(11:39):
producing gas that makes it float. If it sinks to
the bottom, it's good to go. If it sinks to
the bottom then tips up a little bit, then you
should use them that day. And that's how I tell
with that. Now other things, Yes, you can smell them
because you might come across milk. My wife has brought
me milk before, and so will you smell this? And
(12:01):
I smell that and I'm like, oh, yeah, do not
serve that. But it wasn't even at the date yet
best by date, So not only will it not tell
you when it goes bad, meaning don't use it after
this point. Sometimes it goes bad prior to that point.
And you should always be aware of taste smell. They're
(12:21):
not across the board. Some things don't smell bad, like
eggs in a shell or things like that, but they
they need to focus because nothing knows when it's going
to go bad. Yes to me.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So the takeaway here I'm assuming is if you can
go to the discount whatever section and buy the sell
by date products the day after or a couple of
days after, because you're still going to get product that
that is as.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
On the day of. I don't mind using something a
couple of days after the cell by date or things
like that. But this is what Governor Newsom is signed.
He basically is saying he's banning sell by or best
before because those cause confusion. Why is that a problem,
Because people end up throwing these things out early, and
(13:13):
we have a massive food waste issue and you're talking
about twenty percent of people are sitting there going no,
I think it's bad and tossing it out when it's
not bad, and that's you know, that's not good for
anything the environment. That's not good for you know, people
that are food insecure. That's not good for a lot
of things. And once you know when it's okay to use,
(13:37):
or if it's not okay to drink because it doesn't
taste as good, however you can still bake with it
like milk, then you've got to know those things so
that you're not wasting this stuff all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, and the optics of a country that has people
who are in food insecure or downright I won't say
the word starving, but downright not enough to eat and
we throw away twenty percent ode.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You know, have you ever come across a celery and
it's it's bendy, it's not crispor because if you cut
the ends off and you put that in ice cold water,
put it back in the fridge, it gets crisp again
and it's total. It just is losing some water, but
the nutrients are still there. It just needs to re
imbibe itself. And people don't think about doing those things.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
And I didn't know that ready to go, I didn't
know that. I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, there was a meeting at LAPD Commission and Assistant
Chief Blake Chow confirmed that several parents surrendered their teams
to police stations September twenty six, twenty eight, and twenty
nine in conction connection with some flash mob robberies. And
this is after the LAPD asked for help and identifying
(14:53):
some of the people responsible for these multiple flash mob
robberies over the last few months and specifically as to
some flashmob robberties in multiple seven eleven stores, and so
they asked for help the LAPD and several parents came
forward turned their kids in. WHOA there is a moral dilemma.
(15:21):
Would I ever turn my kids in?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I mean, there are a couple of reasons for doing
it outside the moral dilemma, and I think mostly these
are the reasons. Especially among juveniles. You've got parents that
are just at wits end. They're done, They can't control
the kids anymore. The kids don't pay attention, they're out
there starting a crime lifestyle, starting a career in crime,
(15:50):
and they turned their kids in saying we've got to
do something, something has to intervene. And then it is
turning the kids in. How does that make more criminal based?
I don't know, But that's one reason that parents turn
their kids in. Another reason is just in general straightening
them straightening them out. Then you've got the issue. I
(16:14):
think of age. Now, if you have a murderer that's
out there who's thirty five years old and is running around,
generally mom and dad don't turn that guy in. They
generally help hide him and are charged with a betting.
You don't see older people turning their kids in on crimes.
(16:34):
You now are seeing younger people or parents turning in
younger people, especially in this case. Again, moral dilemma. Man,
I don't know what I would do. Let me tell
you a story about how ethical my grandmother was. I
don't think I've ever shared this story. I don't think
I ever have. And that is my grandmother, who really
(16:55):
was a psycho bitch. She was not a very pleasant woman.
As a matter of fact, she was a horror woman.
So she had a bunch of jewelry stolen and my
mother was still living with her. My mother was in
dental school at the time, and in those days in Brazil,
kids live with their parents until.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
They were married, in their twenties, even in their thirties.
So my grandmother, Leah, who Barbara is.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Named after her middle name, Barbara Leiah handle, and I
don't know why that wasn't my call to name. Yeah,
I didn't understand what I did that because originally, if
you're gonna, if we were going to call, if we're
going to name my daughter Barbara after my grandmother, it
would have been Barbara the bitch Handle. But I ended
(17:44):
up not doing that. So here is the story, and
this is the true story. So my grandmother has all
of this jewelry stolen. She calls the police and tries
to get my mother arrested for stealing it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It turned out the housekeeper stole it all.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
But there is someone who would would easily turn her kid.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yet I said, this isn't aside.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean, it has really nothing to do with this,
but it was just it just reminded me of the
story I want her to share with you. So with that,
and you've got an adult child crimes committed, do you
turn her in? No? Okay, Neil, I know Max is
a little young to commit crimes, but he's almost there.
Another two three years, he'll be a pickpocket or whatever
(18:34):
the hell he's going to do. Would you turn Max in? Ken?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Here, you don't have.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Any mic on oh. In the seven eleven situation.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Absolutely, And is it because it's the moral right thing
to do or is it because.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's the right thing to do as a lesson to
the child. But I think you are better off getting
the ear of the prosecution and the law enforcement by saying,
he's got a loving parent, he's got someone who cares
about him, believes that he's not a bad kid, and
I want to separate him from the flock. Not to
(19:11):
mention they're probably if they're on video, and I found
out by seeing them on video, someone else is going
to too, And I'd rather get ahead of it with
the help of his family and the strength of the
family rather.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Also, the police involvement in anybody under eighteen, it's a
sealed record, so it does not stay with the kid.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It disappears. So that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hey, I was arrested as a team and it absolutely
Hello is this thing? Huh? Yeah? For shoplifting?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh okay, you were rested for shoplifting?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, and so and I was, I don't know, thirteen,
maybe fourteen, okay, And I tell you I never did
it after that. You just I think it can be
a good thing if done and if you love your
kid and you don't, you know, want them to be
in that lifestyle. Then you know, don't turn the other way.
(20:09):
I told you about irect come up and move.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You've heard that now, I get that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I was arrested once too, and this again, these stories
I'd love to share true stories. Another one, I was
caught jaywalking by a cop who was writing me a
ticket and I actually asked him, Hey, what happens if
there is a warrant for your arrest? And he literally said, well,
(20:34):
why don't we find out.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
There is a warrant for my address?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I failed to appear for a traffic hearing, I got
a traffic ticket, failed to show up, fail to do anything,
didn't pay the fine, warrant is issued.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Which is what they did in those days.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The cop looked at me and literally said, you cannot
be this stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I swear that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You assured him you could.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It was on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I was working at a stereo store and the one
thing he did is he said, I'm not going to
handcuff you. But he had to call a police car
and I was driven off to Van Ey's police station,
where I was booked. I mean I went in and
out a one hundred dollars bail and so I didn't
even go into a cell fingerprint booking, you know, photograph
and then walked out the door. But that's my arrest
(21:27):
record for stupidity.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Okay, impressive.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, No, So I guess there's a record of be
someplace out there, some mugshot.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Now, remote working.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I've talked about this because so many of us are
involved in this. Okay, it's been a year since the
World Health Organization WHO great band declared the end of
the pandemic as a health emergency. So now remote work
is no longer necessary. And still we are saying, come on, guys.
(22:01):
And it turns out, and there's plenty of academic research
here that high bred policies pan out the best for
both the employees.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And the employers the companies.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Last month, the Amazon CEO Andy Jase said, all of
you corporate employees, three hundred and fifty thousand corporate employees,
you've got to come to work five days a week
starting in January because he wants teams to be joined
at the hip. I heart did the same thing here.
Management and sales are here five days a week now
(22:37):
and knowing the salespeople and pretty close to the salespeople,
as is Neil.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We talk a lot to them.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Hey, they're not happy campers, and there's reasons with both sides.
Management here says that they can prove that when sales
I'm talking about sales specifically is here, they do.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
A better job.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Are more appointments, there are more meetings. Employees are saying,
you know what, I don't want to drive in. I mean,
I'll do it a couple of days a week, but
the commute takes a long time. I'm losing that time
and I do better at home. And both sides have
(23:21):
a point, which way do we go?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Now here? On the show they pretty well leave us alone.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
After the pandemic, most of us had to set up
a studio at home. We all had to do it.
And I'm I'm at the studio about half the time.
Neil is, now what half means?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, yeah, okay, so I'm a little bit less than
half the time. And I'll tell you why I do it.
There's no commute. I don't shower in the morning, which
I had to. I don't have to commute. I shower afterwards.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
That's your plus.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well yeah, yeah, because I work out and I take
a walk right after the show, and there's big advantages.
For example, right now, the only thing I have is
a shirt on. I don't have pants or underwear on,
and I'm sweating a lot, so I don't I'm gonna
warn you right now. You don't want to sit in
my chair. You will not be happy. There's the look.
(24:17):
The point is is that highbred seems to work the best.
Yet more and more companies are saying, come on back,
we want you here, we want the connection, we want
to look at you. I talk to Ann all the
time when I'm there in the studio. There is more
connection when Neil we're together in studio. It's to us
(24:38):
it is better. Is it a better show?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't know. Is it more fun for us? Are
we more connected? We are?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Amy, I always come in when I'm in studio and
we talk. Now, you could do the by the way, Amy,
you could do your show at home.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You can. You know, you have your little cubicle. All
you make.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
All you do is turn a closet into a little
news center. And no matter how small your closet is,
it will be bigger than what you're sitting in now.
But it can be done at home and can work
at home. Yet they're here five days a week. You're
here five days a Weekno has no choice because he's
on the board, of course, but you know it is
(25:21):
it better? It certainly works out for me because I'm
driving in. It takes time, and you know, it's both sides.
I'd rather be there. It may be a better show,
but the commute is a killer, and I just lose time.
And the same thing happens with a lot of employees.
And there are some salespeople here, and the reason I
(25:43):
bring up sales because I'm so involved up there, is.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Some have an hour commute each way.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And so the weird thing about sales is it really
is one of the few jobs that you can you
can see automatically whether they're doing job or not.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Right, I understand, I understand. And then management says they
don't do as much good job. So a lot of
people saying with remote it's hybrid that seems to be
the best. That's and a lot of employers, well, my
daughter's roommate is an Amazon employee, and she has been
told starting January first guess what You're in the office
(26:21):
five days a week. She's not happy about it, as
are many employees of corporations.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Across the country. All right, guys, we're done.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I will put some pants on as soon as we finish,
because I'm going to take a walk. Tomorrow we start
once again Amy five am with wake up Call, Neil
and I come aboard for at six to nine with Amy,
and then of course kno and and our producer.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I still don't know what they do.

(00:26):
years of burritos.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Well, I'm not me, I'm I no, you're celebrating their
forty years of burritos. Yes, they've been making burritos, tacos,
tostadas imas there for forty years. Gavin have terrific shrimp
by the way.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh, I don't know. I love shrimp.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
They have top excellent shrimp.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, it's good food.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I like, I really like their food. Everything is insanely fresh.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah, that's the key. Won't be celebrating. There have
some swag to give out. Just come by and say hi.
I'd love to meet you. It would be my honor
to shake your hand and say hi. And I don't
want to be sitting by myself like uh.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Like you normally do so, uh, donal a favor, okay,
give him give him a mercy stop, would you please
and show up and uh, you know, make him feel
like he actually has some influence and he has some listeners.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So that's this.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Saturday from two to five, the Fork Report at the
Polkito Boss in Encino. Also, you know, I don't know
if we have time for this, because I want to
give you a little bit of history that occurred when
I was listening to Amy and Amy. Israel has declared
uh uh the UN official as a persona non grata. Yes,
(01:49):
and to give you and they're saying, oh, the UN
is totally uh anti Israel, anti Semitic. Uh. Of the
UN resolutions that have been since the creation of the UN,
there have been more anti Israeli resolutions than any other
resolution that ever has been passed by.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
The Security Council. All Right, all right, that's for starters.
And then I'm gonna throw a little historical factoid at you.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
The Secretary General of the UN two terms, and I
think it was back the eighty seventies was a guy
by the name of Kurt Voldheim who was a Nazi,
straight out Nazi.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
During the thirties.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
We're not talking about Pope Benedict the sixteenth, who was
an let's say, unenthusiastic member the way he put it,
of the Hitler youth. And by the way, to give
him some credit, every kid had to be in the
Hitler youth.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
During the Nazi.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Regime, Kurt Woldheim was in the army and a Nazi
UN secretary general for two terms. Then he ran for
President of Austria and was elected president of Austria.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know, I could never come in the United States.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
There was a warrant or there was a warrant for
him for being a war criminal, and he could never
come to the United States. The UN. Let me tell
you how anti Israel the UN. From the day the
Israel was created, you had the UN, especially the General Assembly.
(03:41):
My god, you have the General Assembly has been so
anti Israel consistently. So it's not Israel going crazy here
and saying, oh my god, we're being stepped on, We're
being discriminated against.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
That is a fact and you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Can look it up google that history of UN resolutions
and it is no surprise. And we're going to see
what happens when the Security Council is meeting over what
just happened. I guarantee you you're going to hear some
language coming out of the resolution that nails Israel. It
(04:19):
is Israel's fault because you're going to hear proportional reaction
to the for example, the murder, the terrorist attack from Hamas, and.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You're going to see that Israel.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
You're going to hear You are going to hear resolution
come out that Israel should refrain from responding to the
attack of Iran because Israel should not start World War
III and effectively. And I'm guessing now we'll see what
happens with the UN resolution because they're meeting and man,
they're sweating bullets. You're going to see that somehow Israel
(04:57):
is responsible for all of this, and just drives me
completely crazy. Okay, we're out of time, so I've got
a couple of minutes, and I don't want to do
the story.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
We'll do that tomorrow, and so I now have to
kill two minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Okay, how about a joke or too, Neil, anything you'd
like to talk about Amy, anything you'd like to bring up,
because we still have a couple of minutes. So I'm
betwixt and between on this way. I wanted to comment
and then I ran out of time.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
What there is something that I was remiss in saying
about this Saturday's broadcast from Poqito Moss. Our friends from
Zelman's are going to be there and they'll be giving
away some samples of Zelmens.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh how cool is that?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So? Okay, yeah, so you can have all the onions
and garlic you want.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's terrific.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And I want to point out, and I think we're
negotiating this right now, is that one winner and you
have to be there to you have to be present
to win. We'll receive Poquito Moss franchise and it is
no small deal.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Sure, thanks, Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's how we get people showing up.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yes with lies, yes, yes, yes, no, it's and you
can give yourself free burritos all day long.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
By the way, I don't even know are they company
owned or are they franchises.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I don't even know, Neil.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I think they're all owned by the same person. I mean,
I think they're all there. They're they're all company owned. Yeah,
I think there's six locations and I don't think they're franchises.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay, well, great food.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So anyway, we end up the segment after having spun
in a different direction.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Neil is on Saturday two to five.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The Fork Report will be at the Poquito Moss in Encino,
and please show up because otherwise he's gonna be one depressed,
depressed person.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, I'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I just know you won't. People, No, you won't. I've
talked to you after you've had a remote event and
no one showed up. I know how miserable you are
days the day man. Yeah, that's true, all right now.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Neil and I have talked about this many many a time,
and he has talked about this on his show The
Fork Report Saturday two to five here on KFI.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
And that is the food labels that you see in the.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Market that says sell by or best before, Neil. There's
a lot of confusion there and they have yet to
pass laws specifically talking about what that means.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
In Europe they've had issues with this as well, not
as bad as we have here, but it's pretty crazy
to think there are fifty five zero different descriptions that
are used on food about best buy, sell buy, freshest
(08:07):
used by. The thing is there is no consistent or
regulated term to use, and so people don't know what's
going on because there is only one food item that
is actually regulated, and that is baby formula. That is
(08:28):
the only food that the expiration date is the expiration
date and you're not supposed to use it after that.
Everything else it has different things. Sell buy has nothing
to do with us. Sell by is what the store
uses to stock and regulate and move the product up off.
So if it's used by they might take it off
(08:51):
the shelf at that point, but they may use it
for I don't know, if they make chili or if
they use whatever. If they if they make other food,
you know, prepared food or something like that, they'll use
it because it's still good. It just means they don't
want it on their shelves anymore. They want to move it.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So by the way that this do they throw it away.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
So you have a sell buy the twenty second, So
here it is the twenty second.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They either put it into a discount area or like
I said, they use it for pre prepared foods and
then they have other uses sometimes as well. But it's
absolutely still still good. As a matter of fact, the
date on your eggs when you buy you know, a
dozen eggs or something, the date on the carton oftentimes
(09:40):
has at least four weeks past that date where the
eggs are still good. Yeah, even longer. You just have
to check them.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Yeah, I do that with milk and at my house,
and I hate this. If that milk carton says use by,
let's say the fifteenth and to keep the milk. Oh no, no, no,
it says used by, therefore the milk goes south. It
can go another week and go another ten days.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
You know what I do.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I actually I actually test the milk by drinking it.
And if it isn't, if it hasn't become buttermilk, it
is still taste sweet, I use it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Well, it's funny the thing you said about buttermilk. There
are still chefs that will use it to cook or
bake with because there's the flavors are still usable and
it won't harm you. So yeah, I mean there's there's
much to research on that. You have to do your
own poking around and see those at what point? But yeah,
(10:41):
buttermilk is basically basically curdling the milk with an acid.
You can make buttermilk at home with a lemon and
regular milk. So all these things are suggestions. It does.
It doesn't magically know you know it if you had
it in your car it'll go bad in an hour.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, shrimp.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Shrimp on a hot day in your car is a
little problematic. So how far do you go? And I
know it's at different different dates for different products, but
what's the farthest you will go? And I'm assuming it's
eggs the way you described it.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Eggs, Yeah, eggs are probably And I use the egg test.
I've told people about this before, Bulliancy test. So you
get a glass that's whiter than the egg and about
four inches tall. You fill it with water, you lightly
drop the egg in there with a spoon. If it floats,
it's bad. That means it's starting to decay on the inside,
(11:39):
producing gas that makes it float. If it sinks to
the bottom, it's good to go. If it sinks to
the bottom then tips up a little bit, then you
should use them that day. And that's how I tell
with that. Now other things, Yes, you can smell them
because you might come across milk. My wife has brought
me milk before, and so will you smell this? And
(12:01):
I smell that and I'm like, oh, yeah, do not
serve that. But it wasn't even at the date yet
best by date, So not only will it not tell
you when it goes bad, meaning don't use it after
this point. Sometimes it goes bad prior to that point.
And you should always be aware of taste smell. They're
(12:21):
not across the board. Some things don't smell bad, like
eggs in a shell or things like that, but they
they need to focus because nothing knows when it's going
to go bad. Yes to me.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So the takeaway here I'm assuming is if you can
go to the discount whatever section and buy the sell
by date products the day after or a couple of
days after, because you're still going to get product that
that is as.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
On the day of. I don't mind using something a
couple of days after the cell by date or things
like that. But this is what Governor Newsom is signed.
He basically is saying he's banning sell by or best
before because those cause confusion. Why is that a problem,
Because people end up throwing these things out early, and
(13:13):
we have a massive food waste issue and you're talking
about twenty percent of people are sitting there going no,
I think it's bad and tossing it out when it's
not bad, and that's you know, that's not good for
anything the environment. That's not good for you know, people
that are food insecure. That's not good for a lot
of things. And once you know when it's okay to use,
(13:37):
or if it's not okay to drink because it doesn't
taste as good, however you can still bake with it
like milk, then you've got to know those things so
that you're not wasting this stuff all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, and the optics of a country that has people
who are in food insecure or downright I won't say
the word starving, but downright not enough to eat and
we throw away twenty percent ode.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You know, have you ever come across a celery and
it's it's bendy, it's not crispor because if you cut
the ends off and you put that in ice cold water,
put it back in the fridge, it gets crisp again
and it's total. It just is losing some water, but
the nutrients are still there. It just needs to re
imbibe itself. And people don't think about doing those things.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
And I didn't know that ready to go, I didn't
know that. I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Okay, there was a meeting at LAPD Commission and Assistant
Chief Blake Chow confirmed that several parents surrendered their teams
to police stations September twenty six, twenty eight, and twenty
nine in conction connection with some flash mob robberies. And
this is after the LAPD asked for help and identifying
(14:53):
some of the people responsible for these multiple flash mob
robberies over the last few months and specifically as to
some flashmob robberties in multiple seven eleven stores, and so
they asked for help the LAPD and several parents came
forward turned their kids in. WHOA there is a moral dilemma.
(15:21):
Would I ever turn my kids in?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
I mean, there are a couple of reasons for doing
it outside the moral dilemma, and I think mostly these
are the reasons. Especially among juveniles. You've got parents that
are just at wits end. They're done, They can't control
the kids anymore. The kids don't pay attention, they're out
there starting a crime lifestyle, starting a career in crime,
(15:50):
and they turned their kids in saying we've got to
do something, something has to intervene. And then it is
turning the kids in. How does that make more criminal based?
I don't know, But that's one reason that parents turn
their kids in. Another reason is just in general straightening
them straightening them out. Then you've got the issue. I
(16:14):
think of age. Now, if you have a murderer that's
out there who's thirty five years old and is running around,
generally mom and dad don't turn that guy in. They
generally help hide him and are charged with a betting.
You don't see older people turning their kids in on crimes.
(16:34):
You now are seeing younger people or parents turning in
younger people, especially in this case. Again, moral dilemma. Man,
I don't know what I would do. Let me tell
you a story about how ethical my grandmother was. I
don't think I've ever shared this story. I don't think
I ever have. And that is my grandmother, who really
(16:55):
was a psycho bitch. She was not a very pleasant woman.
As a matter of fact, she was a horror woman.
So she had a bunch of jewelry stolen and my
mother was still living with her. My mother was in
dental school at the time, and in those days in Brazil,
kids live with their parents until.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
They were married, in their twenties, even in their thirties.
So my grandmother, Leah, who Barbara is.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Named after her middle name, Barbara Leiah handle, and I
don't know why that wasn't my call to name. Yeah,
I didn't understand what I did that because originally, if
you're gonna, if we were going to call, if we're
going to name my daughter Barbara after my grandmother, it
would have been Barbara the bitch Handle. But I ended
(17:44):
up not doing that. So here is the story, and
this is the true story. So my grandmother has all
of this jewelry stolen. She calls the police and tries
to get my mother arrested for stealing it.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
It turned out the housekeeper stole it all.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
But there is someone who would would easily turn her kid.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yet I said, this isn't aside.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I mean, it has really nothing to do with this,
but it was just it just reminded me of the
story I want her to share with you. So with that,
and you've got an adult child crimes committed, do you
turn her in? No? Okay, Neil, I know Max is
a little young to commit crimes, but he's almost there.
Another two three years, he'll be a pickpocket or whatever
(18:34):
the hell he's going to do. Would you turn Max in? Ken?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Here, you don't have.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Any mic on oh. In the seven eleven situation.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Absolutely, And is it because it's the moral right thing
to do or is it because.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's the right thing to do as a lesson to
the child. But I think you are better off getting
the ear of the prosecution and the law enforcement by saying,
he's got a loving parent, he's got someone who cares
about him, believes that he's not a bad kid, and
I want to separate him from the flock. Not to
(19:11):
mention they're probably if they're on video, and I found
out by seeing them on video, someone else is going
to too, And I'd rather get ahead of it with
the help of his family and the strength of the
family rather.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
And that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Also, the police involvement in anybody under eighteen, it's a
sealed record, so it does not stay with the kid.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It disappears. So that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Hey, I was arrested as a team and it absolutely
Hello is this thing? Huh? Yeah? For shoplifting?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh okay, you were rested for shoplifting?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Yeah, and so and I was, I don't know, thirteen,
maybe fourteen, okay, And I tell you I never did
it after that. You just I think it can be
a good thing if done and if you love your
kid and you don't, you know, want them to be
in that lifestyle. Then you know, don't turn the other way.
(20:09):
I told you about irect come up and move.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
You've heard that now, I get that.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I was arrested once too, and this again, these stories
I'd love to share true stories. Another one, I was
caught jaywalking by a cop who was writing me a
ticket and I actually asked him, Hey, what happens if
there is a warrant for your arrest? And he literally said, well,
(20:34):
why don't we find out.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
There is a warrant for my address?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
I failed to appear for a traffic hearing, I got
a traffic ticket, failed to show up, fail to do anything,
didn't pay the fine, warrant is issued.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Which is what they did in those days.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
The cop looked at me and literally said, you cannot
be this stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
I swear that's what he said.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
You assured him you could.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It was on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I was working at a stereo store and the one
thing he did is he said, I'm not going to
handcuff you. But he had to call a police car
and I was driven off to Van Ey's police station,
where I was booked. I mean I went in and
out a one hundred dollars bail and so I didn't
even go into a cell fingerprint booking, you know, photograph
and then walked out the door. But that's my arrest
(21:27):
record for stupidity.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Okay, impressive.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, No, So I guess there's a record of be
someplace out there, some mugshot.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Now, remote working.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I've talked about this because so many of us are
involved in this. Okay, it's been a year since the
World Health Organization WHO great band declared the end of
the pandemic as a health emergency. So now remote work
is no longer necessary. And still we are saying, come on, guys.
(22:01):
And it turns out, and there's plenty of academic research
here that high bred policies pan out the best for
both the employees.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And the employers the companies.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Last month, the Amazon CEO Andy Jase said, all of
you corporate employees, three hundred and fifty thousand corporate employees,
you've got to come to work five days a week
starting in January because he wants teams to be joined
at the hip. I heart did the same thing here.
Management and sales are here five days a week now
(22:37):
and knowing the salespeople and pretty close to the salespeople,
as is Neil.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
We talk a lot to them.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Hey, they're not happy campers, and there's reasons with both sides.
Management here says that they can prove that when sales
I'm talking about sales specifically is here, they do.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
A better job.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Are more appointments, there are more meetings. Employees are saying,
you know what, I don't want to drive in. I mean,
I'll do it a couple of days a week, but
the commute takes a long time. I'm losing that time
and I do better at home. And both sides have
(23:21):
a point, which way do we go?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Now here? On the show they pretty well leave us alone.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
After the pandemic, most of us had to set up
a studio at home. We all had to do it.
And I'm I'm at the studio about half the time.
Neil is, now what half means?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Yeah, yeah, okay, so I'm a little bit less than
half the time. And I'll tell you why I do it.
There's no commute. I don't shower in the morning, which
I had to. I don't have to commute. I shower afterwards.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
That's your plus.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Well yeah, yeah, because I work out and I take
a walk right after the show, and there's big advantages.
For example, right now, the only thing I have is
a shirt on. I don't have pants or underwear on,
and I'm sweating a lot, so I don't I'm gonna
warn you right now. You don't want to sit in
my chair. You will not be happy. There's the look.
(24:17):
The point is is that highbred seems to work the best.
Yet more and more companies are saying, come on back,
we want you here, we want the connection, we want
to look at you. I talk to Ann all the
time when I'm there in the studio. There is more
connection when Neil we're together in studio. It's to us
(24:38):
it is better. Is it a better show?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't know. Is it more fun for us? Are
we more connected? We are?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Amy, I always come in when I'm in studio and
we talk. Now, you could do the by the way, Amy,
you could do your show at home.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You can. You know, you have your little cubicle. All
you make.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
All you do is turn a closet into a little
news center. And no matter how small your closet is,
it will be bigger than what you're sitting in now.
But it can be done at home and can work
at home. Yet they're here five days a week. You're
here five days a Weekno has no choice because he's
on the board, of course, but you know it is
(25:21):
it better? It certainly works out for me because I'm
driving in. It takes time, and you know, it's both sides.
I'd rather be there. It may be a better show,
but the commute is a killer, and I just lose time.
And the same thing happens with a lot of employees.
And there are some salespeople here, and the reason I
(25:43):
bring up sales because I'm so involved up there, is.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Some have an hour commute each way.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
And so the weird thing about sales is it really
is one of the few jobs that you can you
can see automatically whether they're doing job or not.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Right, I understand, I understand. And then management says they
don't do as much good job. So a lot of
people saying with remote it's hybrid that seems to be
the best. That's and a lot of employers, well, my
daughter's roommate is an Amazon employee, and she has been
told starting January first guess what You're in the office
(26:21):
five days a week. She's not happy about it, as
are many employees of corporations.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Across the country. All right, guys, we're done.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I will put some pants on as soon as we finish,
because I'm going to take a walk. Tomorrow we start
once again Amy five am with wake up Call, Neil
and I come aboard for at six to nine with Amy,
and then of course kno and and our producer.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I still don't know what they do.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
This is KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
