Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listenings KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f First of all, some
of the trending stories and that is we're going to
talk about this in a minute.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Pulling onions, Yeah, let me do that.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And tonight it's going to be a zoo with traffic
all over Los Angeles because every venue is going to
be jammed.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
The election.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's coming up on Tuesday. I just did a few
of the props and welcome. Tuesday is going to be
a big day, and I'll talk more about that certainly
on Monday. Okay, it's Foody Friday with Neil Samadra, who
is host of The Fork Report tomorrow from two to
five at Fork Reporter is his social address, and I'm
(00:46):
here eight to eleven o'clock tomorrow with Handle on the Law,
following Dean Sharp with the House Whisper. Okay, so I've
now done all the business Neil, the onions, the pulling
of the onions.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
We'll get to the just a second.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I want to remind people, and I appreciate the plug
that tomorrow is a big show.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
It's our Halloween show.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
It's gonna be a little different legendary Disney imagineer, the
oldest living Disney imagineer, Bob Gerr, is going to be
on the show at two o'clock. He was the creator
of just about anything that moves at Disneyland. He designed,
including the Doom Buggy that you ride at Disneyland in
(01:27):
the Hunted Mansion.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He's coming on.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Derek Young from Van Oaks Props is going to tell
you how you can decorate your house. We've got Darcy
stand a fourth with Haunted Tours there in Orange County
coming on, so it'll be it'll be a big fun
show tomorrow. To join us there, Okay, on October twenty fifth,
you know we're looking at the e Coli outbreak. We
(01:53):
heard about it a couple days back, and now it
has grown. Health officials or len This e Coli outbreak
to onions supplied to McDonald's for their quarter pounders. If
you are a fan of their quarter pounders like I am,
you know that they have those large slivers of onions
on their quarter pounders. But now you have other fast
(02:16):
food chains responding, including Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut.
A lot of these places are removing their onions The
onions in question came from a company called Taylor Farms
in Colorado. So far, forty nine people in ten states
have gotten sick, with one death and ten hospitalizations.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yeah, it's very serious.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
And really, you know, you don't hear a lot of
issues with fast food places for the most part that
are deadly because they you know, they they're cooking everything
and there's a lot of salt and things like that.
But these are raw onions. So these are which are great,
which is.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Great on burgers. I have my Oh yeah, I double
that in and out. Burger always have a raw onion.
So Amy Amy has been reporting all morning long about
the fact, Well here's the headline.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
If you eat a quarter pound or at McDonald's you
will die.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
That's not what I've said.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh did I misunderstand?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, yes, you misunderstand.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh okay, got it?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So Neil, when you have these other fast food outlets,
Taco Bell, et cetera, and is it do they use
the same onions from the same producer or all of
it is simply in abuton abundance of caution.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Uh, they you're looking at a certain percentage. Burger King
spokesperson stated at the while most of their restaurants don't
use these onions. About five percent do get onions from
Taylor Farms, which is the concern. So even if it's
minimal like that, if you can't separate or track or trace,
(04:00):
the abundance of caution is going to be the note
that they're going to want to hit. And that seems
to be where everybody's doing what everybody's doing right now, So.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
They're going to air on that side.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And this is probably not the last story we're going
to hear of people pulling back.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You've got E.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Coli infections. They cause, if you're curious, stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, vomiting,
and it usually starts three or four days after exposure.
So if you do have fast food or you have
raw onions, make sure you make note you know of
those things, you.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Got to cook them.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Basically, Yeah, well that's the reality. Yes, it's going to
take care of it. And that's why some of the
healthier places are so called healthful casual, fast casual, whatever
you want to kind of call them places end up
getting hit with things like this because they have more
(05:02):
non cooked, fresh ingredients. You don't see it as much
with this kind of hot fast food. But the raw
onions seem to be the problem.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And here's the story that's coming out. I want you
to come in if we have time, if not, when
we come back. Is chickens, those rotisserie chickens at Costco,
which is one of the best rotisserie chickens on the planet.
Five bucks thirty two pounds, thirty two pounds per chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And they're talking about listeria.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Wow, oh yeah, say it ain't so, I mean we
lost go.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I will tell you lysteria has been and it can
be sort of aggressive and hard to get rid of.
That has been popping up. If you look at the news,
just look for search listeria. That has been popping up
more this year than any year that I can think
in recent history. It's just has been very aggressive in
many different types of food. Of course, this is the
(05:59):
same thing that we were concerned about when it came
to Boar's Head. If you remember that outbreak was in
their Virginian location. So horrible, horrible, that's I know, the
Boar's Head that was lyric worst.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It's the last segment of Foody Friday, and we continue
on and it's butterball time.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Butterball turkeys.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And we've talked about Butterball turkeys before because anybody that
uses that little nipple thing, as you talk about little
pop up turkey has done is nuts.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Those mechanical pop up little nipples that you see on
those things, they pop up mechanically around one hundred and
eighty five degrees, and at one hundred and eighty five degrees,
if you pull that turkey out, it's going to go
up at least another ten degrees.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It's going to be dry, and it's bad. Don't ever
use them.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You should be pulling it out just under one hundred
and sixty five degrees and it will raise to the
temperature and it'll be nice and juicy. The thing, the
reason why we're talking about this now, of course, Thanksgiving
is not that far off, and you've got Butterball introducing
a turkey you can roast from frozen. I fill in
(07:15):
for Bill Handle every single Thanksgiving to answer questions cooking questions,
and one of the ones that I get is, oh
my gosh, I didn't thaw the turkey. Can I cook
it from frozen? The answer is yes. It takes about
fifty percent longer to cook from frozen and your temperatures
change a little bit depending on its size, because you
(07:37):
don't want it to cook too quickly on the outside
and not the inside.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Only fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That doesn't seem that seems relatively little to cook a
frozen turkey.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Okay, well you say that, but then you think about
an eight to twelve pound turkey is four to five hours,
and twenty to twenty four pound turkey might be seven
to eight hours. So that's a that's a long roast
for something that you're not doing technically low and slow.
Another thing is you can't deep fry a frozen turkey
(08:10):
because oil and water don't mix. And the bubbles that
you get when you fry something is it removing the liquid.
Imagine these shards of frozen water popping and exploding all
at the same time. It's very dangerous. And you can't
grill a frozen turkey really safely because of the fact
(08:33):
that the it's not as even as an oven would roast.
So there are issues. But you could always do that.
But Butterball now has this brine turkey. It's got a
special formula. It says that it stays juicy and tasty
while at cooks.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You won't need to baste, brine or season it or
any of that.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You don't need to remove the neck or giblets because
they've already done that. So it's basically freezing freezer to oven,
which technically is actually safer because you don't have the
thawing process even in your refrigerator that can allow certain
areas to I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Cut you off because we'll be talking about Thanksgiving later on,
but Halloween is coming up, and you always do something
really clever with Halloween food, And what are you doing
this year?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Because I'm always fascinated by that.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You know what's funny as far as the Halloween food,
The best thing is to make food look creepy, and
there's tons of ways of doing that. The things that
I like to do is using all of us, both
green and black, to make eyeballs. A cute thing that
I saw if you're going to have your traditional hardshelled tacos,
(09:47):
that I thought was very funny as you make them
months terrific if you will, by putting a little bit
of dollop of sour cream and then adding the little
wheels of the either green or black olives on there
to make eyes peering up out of the taco, which
is really fun for kids. Kids love things that are
(10:07):
creepy and gross and all of those things.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But that's a fun one.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And then one of my all time favorites is making
meat loaf but fashioning it into a hand and using
a little nub of celery or onion on the end
where the bone would be in the wrist, and then
maybe some onion slivers make sure they're cooked for fingernails
and the like.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Is always a good time.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So how do you make a food food product look
like chucky to really screw up kids big times?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know, I don't know how to make it look
like chucky, but I will tell you something that I
gotta chuckle out of. Is you know the beloved rice
crispy treat. Sure, if you add red food coloring, it
looks like rat raw hamburger meat and serving that I've
(11:00):
seen people actually make that and buy. You go to
you know, Smart and Final or whatever, and you can
find the styrofoam packaging and the cellophane the same that
you would put regular raw meat. Oh that is, you
wrap it up in that and you can creep kids
out by That is great stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
All right, Neil and Neil of course heard tomorrow two to.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Five, Big Halloween Show tomorrow, great great fun. Bob Ger
legendary imagineer from Disney the original that helped build Disneyland.
He's coming on to talk to the Hunted Mansion and
other things. He turns ninety three today is his birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Wow, good for him, and he's still around kicking and yeah,
which is not going to hamper it to me.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
All right, Hey, a little bit of politics.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Before we get to this week's World in Review, and
that is well, we set this up and say Democrats
traditionally or Jews traditionally vote Democratic.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's sort of a given overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
This year, it's a little bit different because of Israel,
where you have a good part of the Democratic Party
coming down pretty hard against Israel because of what's happening
in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Donald Trump is so pro Israel that probably the most
pro Israel president we've ever had. And he doesn't want
to hear it. He is staunchly pro Israel. Well what
does that mean? That means that Trump and the Republicans
are going hard for the Jewish vote. Here is a
commercial that is running right now in the five battleground states.
(12:38):
Let me set it up. Three women are sitting at
a table at Himi's Delicatessen that's real in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Here is the commercial. Do you watch the news? Israel's
under attack anti Semitism?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Like I never thought I would say sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
About Samantha's boy Max. Now that's spit on just walking
at pen.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean, that's scary. What about Kamalah?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is he defending the squad?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You know, Trump I never cared for.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But at least he'll keep us saying.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I never voted Republican in my life.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I am voting Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Amen or JC Victory Fund is responsible for the content
of this message?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oi.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
They okay, what do you do with that? A couple
of things were missing? Hey, I want a bagel?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Why did you be a mensch to the waiter? Or
my son who's in medical school.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
All of a sudden, he's looking at religions, Indian religions,
Vishnu nothing Vishnu with you. There are so many ways
I can go with that. Uh. And the point is that,
well here it is the Republicans and the Trump uh.
(13:58):
And this is a pack that does this, by the way,
this in the Trump campaign. But at least we're getting
some entertainment value out of this campaign. Now, obviously we're
going to talk more about this on Monday. Obviously we're
going to talk more about this on Tuesday. We are
not going to know who wins the presidency for days,
(14:18):
maybe weeks after the election. And why is that Because
a margin at this point is razor thin.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I mean, it's it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Literally, you can flip a coin and you've got automatic recounts.
In some states, you have lawsuits that are already to
be filed, mainly Republican but also Democrats and the Republican
conservative legislatures.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Boy do they learn a lesson from the last election cycle.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They put in election officials who will have the power
to not certify their state's election, and you're going to
see lawsuit after lawsuit filed to invalidate entire counties because well, it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Didn't go that way, it didn't go the way we
wanted it to go.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Also, in very close elections in some jurisdictions, by law,
there has to be a recount. So we're not gonna
know much on Tuesday night unless it's a landslide. If
it's a landslide, we're going to know, But short of that,
it's not gonna happen. Man, this is so so interesting.
(15:30):
Oivey am, I gonna pay attention to this, smoothy, help
me with this. Okay, it is time. The election is
a week from tuesday. I know people are calling in
and I stand corrected.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Here we go. It's time for this week's world and review.
Living under a rock. Well, here's what you've missed.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Piping hot off the newswires from around the corner to
our world.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
This is this week's world in review.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And we go right into it, starting with some of
the big stories internationally, one of them being the election
is a.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Week from tuesday.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It is not next Tuesday, but boy, there's a lot
going on. First of all, the hostage negotiations continue on.
Ain't gonna happen, netanyaw who is going balls to the
wall both with Of course, Kabas has belah and is
going to attack Iran.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's a given.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
He's doing nothing to change that depending on who is
going to be elected president. We know that North Korean soldiers,
about three thousand of them may be more, have arrived
in Eastern Russia, ostensibly to help Putin and Russia with
its war with Ukraine at this point, none at the front,
(16:58):
but it's going to happen, no question. Things are getting
really screwed up. The Boeing strike Nope, still continues on
thirty three thousand workers remain on the picket line.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And if you're flying.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
A Boeing on aircraft, I have gone from absolutely only
wanting to fly Boweing to not wanting to fly Boeing aircraft.
And as I said earlier, McDonald's there's a recall going on.
They had real problems with the onions, the slivered onions
that are on the quarter pounder. And frankly, I know
(17:35):
someone's died and about fifty people have been injured or
have been sickened. But I'm not a big fan of
the quarter pounder. All I do is eat big Max Neil.
He ever ordered a quarter pounder? Did you ever eat those?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah? Double quarter pounding with cheese is my jam?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Okay, all right, so you're gonna get sick twice.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Well, excellent, I'm gonna wait in my next order.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I don't think you can buy quarter pounders right now.
McDonald's took them off the menu completely. First ever dinosaur
fossils discovered in Hong Kong.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't know why anybody cares, but is part of
world in review that and put together for me. Now,
this one is an interesting one. John Kelly, who was
Trump's White House longest serving chief of staff, straight out
said Trump is a fascist and would be a dictator
if allowed.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
To enter the White House again.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And there are a lot of people that worked for Trump,
and I mean in the dozens of dozens who say
this guy should not be reelected.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And of course Trump comes back and says, they're.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
All liars, they're all low lifes, they're all sleezballs. But
I've never seen the employees of former president say anything
like that. Giuliani, Oh, here's my favorite guy in the world.
Remember he was sued by those two workers, those two
(19:11):
election workers, claiming that they had defrauded the election, that
they had stolen votes and given them to Biden. Well,
they sued, and they got a hell of an award
one hundred and sixty million dollars for defamation. And the
judge said, because we're just trying to stop his assets,
his money from going to these women who got this
(19:33):
huge judgment. Judge said, you got seven days to forfeit
your New York City apartment, a nineteen eighty Mercedes owned
by Lauren Bacall and watches and assets and so. And
he's still a true believer, by the way, from what
I understand, doesn't regret any of it. Figure that one
out and he lost his law license. Okay, guys, we
(19:55):
are done. I'm here tomorrow eight to eleven o'clock handle
on the lay off following Dean Sharp the House Whispers
from six to eight and tomorrow very special broadcast of
Neil and the Fork Report from two to five. And
Neili got one minute to pitch it because it's that good.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh, I'm very excited.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I got Bob Gerr, who is the oldest living original
imagineer from Disney. He turns ninety three today. He's a spitfire.
He's coming on. He was the designer of just about
everything that moves, including the Doom Buggy from the Haunted Mansion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
There.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I've got a guy named Derek who owns Van Oaks
Props out here in the valley, who decorates his house
and helps people decorate their homes for the holidays. We've
got Darcy coming on from oc Haunts or Haunts. She
happens to be the half sister of Dean Sharp and
(20:54):

It happens to be true.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, Okay, we're done, guys. Another week gone by.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Next Tuesday is not the election, as I have said
all morning long, and thank you for calling and correcting me, everybody,
And don't do that again because I don't give a ratch.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Okay, but I want to be right.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
If you eat a quarter pound or at McDonald's you
will die.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
That's not what I've said.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh did I misunderstand?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
No, yes, you misunderstand.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh okay, got it?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
So Neil, when you have these other fast food outlets,
Taco Bell, et cetera, and is it do they use
the same onions from the same producer or all of

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Uh, they you're looking at a certain percentage. Burger King

to be where everybody's doing what everybody's doing right now, So.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
They're going to air on that side.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
And this is probably not the last story we're going
to hear of people pulling back.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You've got E.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Coli infections. They cause, if you're curious, stomach cramps, diarrhea, fever, vomiting,
and it usually starts three or four days after exposure.
So if you do have fast food or you have
raw onions, make sure you make note you know of
those things, you.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Got to cook them.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Basically, Yeah, well that's the reality. Yes, it's going to
take care of it. And that's why some of the
healthier places are so called healthful casual, fast casual, whatever
you want to kind of call them places end up
getting hit with things like this because they have more
(05:02):
non cooked, fresh ingredients. You don't see it as much
with this kind of hot fast food. But the raw
onions seem to be the problem.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And here's the story that's coming out. I want you
to come in if we have time, if not, when
we come back. Is chickens, those rotisserie chickens at Costco,
which is one of the best rotisserie chickens on the planet.
Five bucks thirty two pounds, thirty two pounds per chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And they're talking about listeria.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Wow, oh yeah, say it ain't so, I mean we
lost go.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I will tell you lysteria has been and it can
be sort of aggressive and hard to get rid of.
That has been popping up. If you look at the news,
just look for search listeria. That has been popping up
more this year than any year that I can think
in recent history. It's just has been very aggressive in
many different types of food. Of course, this is the
(05:59):
same thing that we were concerned about when it came
to Boar's Head. If you remember that outbreak was in
their Virginian location. So horrible, horrible, that's I know, the
Boar's Head that was lyric worst.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
It's the last segment of Foody Friday, and we continue
on and it's butterball time.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Butterball turkeys.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And we've talked about Butterball turkeys before because anybody that
uses that little nipple thing, as you talk about little
pop up turkey has done is nuts.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Those mechanical pop up little nipples that you see on
those things, they pop up mechanically around one hundred and
eighty five degrees, and at one hundred and eighty five degrees,
if you pull that turkey out, it's going to go
up at least another ten degrees.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It's going to be dry, and it's bad. Don't ever
use them.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You should be pulling it out just under one hundred
and sixty five degrees and it will raise to the
temperature and it'll be nice and juicy. The thing, the
reason why we're talking about this now, of course, Thanksgiving
is not that far off, and you've got Butterball introducing
a turkey you can roast from frozen. I fill in
(07:15):
for Bill Handle every single Thanksgiving to answer questions cooking questions,
and one of the ones that I get is, oh
my gosh, I didn't thaw the turkey. Can I cook
it from frozen? The answer is yes. It takes about
fifty percent longer to cook from frozen and your temperatures
change a little bit depending on its size, because you
(07:37):
don't want it to cook too quickly on the outside
and not the inside.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Only fifty percent.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
That doesn't seem that seems relatively little to cook a
frozen turkey.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Okay, well you say that, but then you think about
an eight to twelve pound turkey is four to five hours,
and twenty to twenty four pound turkey might be seven
to eight hours. So that's a that's a long roast
for something that you're not doing technically low and slow.
Another thing is you can't deep fry a frozen turkey
(08:10):
because oil and water don't mix. And the bubbles that
you get when you fry something is it removing the liquid.
Imagine these shards of frozen water popping and exploding all
at the same time. It's very dangerous. And you can't
grill a frozen turkey really safely because of the fact
(08:33):
that the it's not as even as an oven would roast.
So there are issues. But you could always do that.
But Butterball now has this brine turkey. It's got a
special formula. It says that it stays juicy and tasty
while at cooks.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You won't need to baste, brine or season it or
any of that.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
You don't need to remove the neck or giblets because
they've already done that. So it's basically freezing freezer to oven,
which technically is actually safer because you don't have the
thawing process even in your refrigerator that can allow certain
areas to I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Cut you off because we'll be talking about Thanksgiving later on,
but Halloween is coming up, and you always do something
really clever with Halloween food, And what are you doing
this year?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Because I'm always fascinated by that.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You know what's funny as far as the Halloween food,
The best thing is to make food look creepy, and
there's tons of ways of doing that. The things that
I like to do is using all of us, both
green and black, to make eyeballs. A cute thing that
I saw if you're going to have your traditional hardshelled tacos,
(09:47):
that I thought was very funny as you make them
months terrific if you will, by putting a little bit
of dollop of sour cream and then adding the little
wheels of the either green or black olives on there
to make eyes peering up out of the taco, which
is really fun for kids. Kids love things that are
(10:07):
creepy and gross and all of those things.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But that's a fun one.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
And then one of my all time favorites is making
meat loaf but fashioning it into a hand and using
a little nub of celery or onion on the end
where the bone would be in the wrist, and then
maybe some onion slivers make sure they're cooked for fingernails
and the like.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Is always a good time.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So how do you make a food food product look
like chucky to really screw up kids big times?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
You know, I don't know how to make it look
like chucky, but I will tell you something that I
gotta chuckle out of. Is you know the beloved rice
crispy treat. Sure, if you add red food coloring, it
looks like rat raw hamburger meat and serving that I've
(11:00):
seen people actually make that and buy. You go to
you know, Smart and Final or whatever, and you can
find the styrofoam packaging and the cellophane the same that
you would put regular raw meat. Oh that is, you
wrap it up in that and you can creep kids
out by That is great stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
All right, Neil and Neil of course heard tomorrow two to.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Five, Big Halloween Show tomorrow, great great fun. Bob Ger
legendary imagineer from Disney the original that helped build Disneyland.
He's coming on to talk to the Hunted Mansion and
other things. He turns ninety three today is his birthday.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Wow, good for him, and he's still around kicking and yeah,
which is not going to hamper it to me.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
All right, Hey, a little bit of politics.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Before we get to this week's World in Review, and
that is well, we set this up and say Democrats
traditionally or Jews traditionally vote Democratic.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That's sort of a given overwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
This year, it's a little bit different because of Israel,
where you have a good part of the Democratic Party
coming down pretty hard against Israel because of what's happening
in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Donald Trump is so pro Israel that probably the most
pro Israel president we've ever had. And he doesn't want
to hear it. He is staunchly pro Israel. Well what
does that mean? That means that Trump and the Republicans
are going hard for the Jewish vote. Here is a
commercial that is running right now in the five battleground states.
(12:38):
Let me set it up. Three women are sitting at
a table at Himi's Delicatessen that's real in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Here is the commercial. Do you watch the news? Israel's
under attack anti Semitism?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Like I never thought I would say sorry.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
About Samantha's boy Max. Now that's spit on just walking
at pen.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean, that's scary. What about Kamalah?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is he defending the squad?
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You know, Trump I never cared for.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
But at least he'll keep us saying.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I never voted Republican in my life.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I am voting Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Amen or JC Victory Fund is responsible for the content
of this message?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oi.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
They okay, what do you do with that? A couple
of things were missing? Hey, I want a bagel?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Why did you be a mensch to the waiter? Or
my son who's in medical school.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
All of a sudden, he's looking at religions, Indian religions,
Vishnu nothing Vishnu with you. There are so many ways
I can go with that. Uh. And the point is that,
well here it is the Republicans and the Trump uh.
(13:58):
And this is a pack that does this, by the way,
this in the Trump campaign. But at least we're getting
some entertainment value out of this campaign. Now, obviously we're
going to talk more about this on Monday. Obviously we're
going to talk more about this on Tuesday. We are
not going to know who wins the presidency for days,
(14:18):
maybe weeks after the election. And why is that Because
a margin at this point is razor thin.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I mean, it's it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Literally, you can flip a coin and you've got automatic recounts.
In some states, you have lawsuits that are already to
be filed, mainly Republican but also Democrats and the Republican
conservative legislatures.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Boy do they learn a lesson from the last election cycle.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
They put in election officials who will have the power
to not certify their state's election, and you're going to
see lawsuit after lawsuit filed to invalidate entire counties because well, it.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Didn't go that way, it didn't go the way we
wanted it to go.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Also, in very close elections in some jurisdictions, by law,
there has to be a recount. So we're not gonna
know much on Tuesday night unless it's a landslide. If
it's a landslide, we're going to know, But short of that,
it's not gonna happen. Man, this is so so interesting.
(15:30):
Oivey am, I gonna pay attention to this, smoothy, help
me with this. Okay, it is time. The election is
a week from tuesday. I know people are calling in
and I stand corrected.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Here we go. It's time for this week's world and review.
Living under a rock. Well, here's what you've missed.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Piping hot off the newswires from around the corner to
our world.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
This is this week's world in review.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And we go right into it, starting with some of
the big stories internationally, one of them being the election
is a.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Week from tuesday.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
It is not next Tuesday, but boy, there's a lot
going on. First of all, the hostage negotiations continue on.
Ain't gonna happen, netanyaw who is going balls to the
wall both with Of course, Kabas has belah and is
going to attack Iran.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's a given.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
He's doing nothing to change that depending on who is
going to be elected president. We know that North Korean soldiers,
about three thousand of them may be more, have arrived
in Eastern Russia, ostensibly to help Putin and Russia with
its war with Ukraine at this point, none at the front,
(16:58):
but it's going to happen, no question. Things are getting
really screwed up. The Boeing strike Nope, still continues on
thirty three thousand workers remain on the picket line.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And if you're flying.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
A Boeing on aircraft, I have gone from absolutely only
wanting to fly Boweing to not wanting to fly Boeing aircraft.
And as I said earlier, McDonald's there's a recall going on.
They had real problems with the onions, the slivered onions
that are on the quarter pounder. And frankly, I know
(17:35):
someone's died and about fifty people have been injured or
have been sickened. But I'm not a big fan of
the quarter pounder. All I do is eat big Max Neil.
He ever ordered a quarter pounder? Did you ever eat those?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Yeah? Double quarter pounding with cheese is my jam?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Okay, all right, so you're gonna get sick twice.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Well, excellent, I'm gonna wait in my next order.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I don't think you can buy quarter pounders right now.
McDonald's took them off the menu completely. First ever dinosaur
fossils discovered in Hong Kong.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
I don't know why anybody cares, but is part of
world in review that and put together for me. Now,
this one is an interesting one. John Kelly, who was
Trump's White House longest serving chief of staff, straight out
said Trump is a fascist and would be a dictator
if allowed.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
To enter the White House again.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And there are a lot of people that worked for Trump,
and I mean in the dozens of dozens who say
this guy should not be reelected.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
And of course Trump comes back and says, they're.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
All liars, they're all low lifes, they're all sleezballs. But
I've never seen the employees of former president say anything
like that. Giuliani, Oh, here's my favorite guy in the world.
Remember he was sued by those two workers, those two
(19:11):
election workers, claiming that they had defrauded the election, that
they had stolen votes and given them to Biden. Well,
they sued, and they got a hell of an award
one hundred and sixty million dollars for defamation. And the
judge said, because we're just trying to stop his assets,
his money from going to these women who got this
(19:33):
huge judgment. Judge said, you got seven days to forfeit
your New York City apartment, a nineteen eighty Mercedes owned
by Lauren Bacall and watches and assets and so. And
he's still a true believer, by the way, from what
I understand, doesn't regret any of it. Figure that one
out and he lost his law license. Okay, guys, we
(19:55):
are done. I'm here tomorrow eight to eleven o'clock handle
on the lay off following Dean Sharp the House Whispers
from six to eight and tomorrow very special broadcast of
Neil and the Fork Report from two to five. And
Neili got one minute to pitch it because it's that good.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh, I'm very excited.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
I got Bob Gerr, who is the oldest living original
imagineer from Disney. He turns ninety three today. He's a spitfire.
He's coming on. He was the designer of just about
everything that moves, including the Doom Buggy from the Haunted Mansion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
There.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I've got a guy named Derek who owns Van Oaks
Props out here in the valley, who decorates his house
and helps people decorate their homes for the holidays. We've
got Darcy coming on from oc Haunts or Haunts. She
happens to be the half sister of Dean Sharp and
(20:54):
she does Haunted tours.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Its gonna be.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
A fun different sounds at Halloween show sounds great.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
It does.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's a show's always good and that's not me blowing smoke.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
It happens to be true.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Okay, Okay, we're done, guys. Another week gone by.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Next Tuesday is not the election, as I have said
all morning long, and thank you for calling and correcting me, everybody,
And don't do that again because I don't give a ratch.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Okay, but I want to be right.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Oh right, So on Monday, all of this starts again
Amy with wake up Call, and she's gonna wear jersey
Dodgers jersey, depending on what happens the first two games,
and we'll see and Cono is here and we're here
