It's a Bill Handle show. He's taking the Friday after
Thanksgiving off. Now. I don't know if this is true.
Just so you understand, I'm not reporting this. I'm sharing
(00:45):
a rumor that there were multiple plumbing trucks seen this
morning in front of the handlehouse. I would not doubt that,
and I know that it is brown Fry, the busiest
day of the year for plumbers. And I'm not gonna
(01:06):
say who tipped me off, but apparently it's a it's
a caravan going on right now. So he has bitter
fish to fry, so to speak. Uh, let's do some
good mornings as his customary during this shift. That voice

already see the tangents. But I'm going to go off
on all right, And I got a lot on my mind, okay,
(02:46):
and a new face to me possibly to y'all in
for Amy King, Eileen Gonzalez, good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Good morning, And I love that you said, y'all, I'm
from Texas, so I say that all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh, I was born in Texas. We're from Texas, are you.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I'm originally from San Antonio, lived in Dallas and Austin
and all over.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh that's way, that's way over there, Yeah, Port Arthur.
Born in Port Arthur, just like Janis Joplin, way over
on the Louisiana side.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
All right, love the Texans.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Do you mean the team or the people?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah, the people and the team.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Okay, maybe not. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say something
nice about you, even though I don't know you. Okay.
And then here's what's gonna happen for the next few minutes.
Just so everybody, let's just set the stage. I'm gonna
say something nice too, and about Eileen Gonzamas. Then we
are gonna talk for a minute about this Trump guitar
(03:42):
that Eileen was reporting on. They're being sued by Gibson
for copying the less Paul body shape. I'm looking at
it right now, and I have a couple of things
that I do wish to say about it. As as
a guitar person, and then we will start some handle
on the news on this day after Thanksgiving. So, uh,
when I was told you were going to be here,
(04:03):
Alen Gonzalez, Yes, I did go scope out your Instagram,
and I'm just glad to see you describe yourself as
both a mom dog and a cat dog. I know
you have one of each.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yes, I'm not biased. I love them both.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Say so, yes, thank you, because I've had it up
to here with that I'm a this person, which somehow
means I can't be you know what I mean, Like,
I'm a dog person, so cats can all go to
Hell or vice versa. I can't. I can't. I'm not.
I won't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore.
Anybody who says anything like that to me is immediately
excommunicated from my life.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Hey, I even had an iguana once.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Oh that's pretty cool. I never had an iguana. I
had bearded dragons.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh cool.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah. All right, let's not spend too far off the
beaten path other than to say heaps of praise upon you,
lover of both of the major pets. Now this guitar
you were reporting, uh, you know they're selling the Trump guitar.
They're actually selling to an acoustic and electric And as
to the electric Trump guitar that they are selling, they
(05:12):
are being sued by Gibson for copying the trademarked Les
Paul guitar shape. So here's the thing. I thought, well,
let's go check out this Trump guitar because I want
to know. I want to know the guitar things about it.
What's the neck radius, does it have a truss rod?
(05:33):
Does it have a double ended truss rod? What?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
What is it made of? What kind of pickups does
it have? What kind of electronics might it have? So
I'm looking at it now, and we start off pretty good.
This is only for guitar people. The next minute or so,
I'm sorry if you don't if you don't care about guitars,
go go ad go ad to Brown Friday for a
(05:57):
minute or two. So we start with it's a mahogany
body and the neck is mahogany and the fret board
is rosewood. And that's all great. Now what kind of
pickups does it have? I really want to know. Well, unfortunately,
this is what they're doing with the branding. You know,
what kind of pickups it has? Maga forty five trump buckers.
(06:22):
That's hilarious to me because, okay, so I know they're
probably humbuckers, which are low noise pickups. I'm not going
to get too far into the weeds, but calling them
maga forty five shrump buckers is weird. But even weirder,
what kinds of strings does it come with? Most of
(06:44):
the time, when you buy a new guitar, they don't
get into what brand of strings are on it. They
might tell you the gauge of the strings that are
on it. But in this case, they're telling you. You
want to know what kind of strings come on your
trump guitar. They're called maga benders. All right, Maga, I
(07:08):
don't it's I it's fifteen hundred dollars this guitar. I
need to know more. What is the what is the
wiring of a trump bucker guitar? Pickup? Do I even
want to look at the acoustic guitar? We're already so
(07:28):
far off where we're supposed to be. Let's take a
look now the oh that is. I am not trying
to upset anybody. I think I think I don't know
if anybody's listening, who's familiar with me at all. I mean,
I've been on a station a long time. Some people
might kind of go, yeah, I've heard him. I'm not
even political. I don't. This acoustic trump guitar is ugly.
(07:53):
It is super ugly. I'm sorry. You can go look
at it and tell me if you dis Actually, don't
tell me, because I don't care. So this is a solid,
solid spruce body. Okay, they don't even know how to
describe a guitar because they're telling me the body is
solid spruce. But then they're telling me the backs and
(08:16):
sides are a different kind of wood, so then the
body can't be spruce. They maybe they mean the top
is solid spruce, the neck is mahogany, the red board
is rosewood. That's nice. These come with magatne strings. Hey,
(08:37):
what kind of strings do you play? Oh? I play
Ernie Ball, fossphor bronze. What do you play? Oh? I
play Martin's What do you play? Oh? My guitars? They're
all strung with magatne. There's way too much graphically going
(08:58):
on with this guitar. It's got a giant eagle on
the front of it, who's not even facing the right way.
And a flag and this massive inlay across the neck
that says make America great again. And it's too much.
I'm not taking issue with the sentiment. I'm taking issue
with the garishness of the thing. Well, it is Trump
(09:22):
twelve hundred and fifty dollars for the acoustic, fifteen hundred
for the electric. Be interesting to see what happens with
the lawsuit with Gibson. All right, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna start handle on the news right now because
we do have something that's important for some people to hear.
(09:43):
And then we'll get some news from my Lincolnzalas, and
then we'll continue the show and I'll try to be
more professional. So lead story, is there a thing? Sorry,
I sprung that on you, Kono, and I apologize. There
isn't a evacuation warning for some parts of Riverside County
(10:03):
because of a fire called the Canyoncrestfire that started out
when the fire department got to it. Originally it was
one hundred by one hundred feet, considered a spot fire,
and very quickly it went to ten acres and then
eighty five acres. Zero percent containment, and so the important
(10:27):
thing is if you are in this area, you are
under an evacuation warning. And you will know if you
are in Riverside County and I tell you these borders,
you will know north of the sixty east of County
Village Road, south of the Riverside San Barnino County Line,
west of Sierra Avenue. And you can always go to
(10:51):
rvcfire dot org and check out the latest evacuation zones
and other information about this fire. They probably when they
showed up, said oh, we'll take care of this in
a few minutes. And that is not how it goes
anymore with fires in southern California.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It moved quick, and it was a decent day yesterday.
I mean it was it was warm, yeah, I mean you.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Didn't have it wasn't super dry, wasn't it. You didn't
have the crazy winds. But it doesn't matter necessarily anymore.
They will not be pop lockin and tiktoking in Australia
if they are under the age of sixteen because their
parliament has passed a ban on social media for kids
under sixteen. They have like we do. They have a
(11:36):
Senate and they have a House of Representatives. So this
bill passed their Senate thirty four to nineteen and their
House of Representatives one oh two to thirteen. And this
puts the onus on the platforms themselves, not on the kids,
not on the parents, but on the platforms who can
be fined up to fifty million Australian dollars, which is
(12:00):
about thirty three million real dollars that we have here
in the United States, the best dollars in the world,
if they have a problem with kids under sixteen getting
accounts here.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Now, my question is, though, if a kid lies about
his age, I mean, how did they determine whether a
kid is sixteen or younger.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, here's the interesting part of this whole thing. The
social media platforms, primarily in this case Meta, who's been
pretty vocal about it. They're not complaining about the idea
of restricting kids under sixteen, but they're saying this law
went through too fast, and it doesn't spell out how
(12:44):
they're supposed to deal with exactly what you're talking about, What,
what will the procedures be, et cetera. So the correct
answer to your question right now is I don't know.
Nobody knows.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, there's nothing preventing anybody from life about when they
were born.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Unless they start to do what they have done in
several states here in the United States with regard to pornography,
which is you have to verify your age, not by
checking a box that says, oh, yeah, I'm eighteen, but
by either uploading drive your government ID, or some states
(13:25):
have something where I guess it turns on your camera
and you show them your face and then it uses
an algorithm to determine if you're over eighteen or not.
And if the algorithm says, oh, this person is absolutely
over eighteen, there's no question, then it puts a little
token on your browser or something like that. It's pretty intrusive. Apparently.
(13:50):
The correct answer, by the way, for you porn lovers
who live in a state where they have this online
ID thing and if you are over eighteen, the correct
answer is to use a VPN and go through a
server in a state that doesn't have that, and then
you won't have to give the government that kind of
(14:13):
sensitive information. Because I'm not believe me, I'm the last
person who is going to get Pornography is the most
evil thing in our society, and anyone who looks at
it is a pervert. No, but I think we can
all agree. Just like going to the bathroom, it's something
almost everybody does, but it's still kind of private, so
(14:38):
you really don't want the government to have that information.
So now this is a little less perhaps upsetting in
the sense of touching on a sensitive area of our
lives wanting to have a TikTok account. So if they
put into place some kind of age verification where you
have to put an official ID or something, all the
(14:59):
government could know, then you were trying to get an
Instagram account, which is maybe less I don't know, less
of a reckoning for you, but they don't know, is
the long answer. Oh so if President elect Donald Trump
spoke to the President of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, and then
(15:21):
they came away and they said some different things about
what they discussed during the phone call, Like, for example,
President elect Trump said, oh, she promised they're going to
stop all the unauthorized border crossings on our border. That's
what she promised me. And she said, no, I didn't
we that's not what I said. There's also the issue
(15:45):
of tariffs. The incoming Trump administration is talking a lot
about putting tariffs on all kinds of items, from all
kinds of countries, and there were people saying this is
going to lead to a tariff war between the United
States and Mexico, and the United States and China. We
put a tariff, they'll put a tariff, and on and
(16:05):
on and on. Well, the President of Mexico said, oh, no,
I am confident we will not have a tariff war
with the United States. Now, she won't say details of
what specifically was discussed, promised, agreed to, offered in exchange
or anything like that, but she is publicly saying she
(16:28):
does not believe there will be a tariff war with Mexico.
Raw milk lovers, there has been a recall of some
raw milk that has bird flu in it. I think
even if you are a proponent of raw milk, you
(16:49):
would agree you would prefer not to have bird flu
in your raw milk. So it's from a company called
raw Farm LLC. And uh they're out of Fresno, and
they've issued a voluntary recall. It's milk lot code number
two O two four one notice. I said it in
(17:11):
the in the public interest, I said it, but I
said it too fast for anybody to remember it. Have
you ever had raw milk. Not to my knowledge, I
have not had raw milk either. Cono, like straight out
of the utter, is that what milk means? I'm assuming
that's not necessarily it. No, it can. It's been bottled
(17:32):
and you know you can find it some places.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Oh, just not like the warmed process goes through it. Right,
that's I don't think so right, it's not passing good
short answer, I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I don't think so that's all right. I lean.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't even have to worry about the bird flu
getting me that way, because I would get so sick
from being lactose intolerant.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Oh all right, so this is not this is not
something you gotta worry about whether your milk is raw
or cooked.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
No, not worried.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Well anyways, So there you go. I don't know what
to think about it. There's a big movement now that
has really surged this year, the pro raw milk.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
People supposed to be good for you, supposedly, but not
if it has verflue.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, see that's not that's the problem. Every year this happens. People.
Once you vent about a thing and then it keeps happening.
Maybe find a new thing. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
There are always musical performers. This time around, you had
I Believe the Temptations, you had Cocoa Jones, and you
(18:39):
had Ariano Mattox and some other people. And people are
all over social media screaming and yelling because those musical
artists were lip syncing. Now, which is, first of all,
what do you expect them to do in that kind
of a setting where you're moving down the street and
(19:02):
it's live TV. It's not if there were if it
wasn't televised and it was just an event, maybe they
could be up there singing, but they have to coordinate
the audio with a live television broadcast. Yes, there's almost
no way to do it live, and we know this
(19:24):
from years previous. So to act like you've just discovered
the deep dark secret of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,
which is the musical artist or lip syncing, you have
discovered nothing, Magellan, nothing And did you give them a break?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Did you hear before the parade that the bluey balloon.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yes, it went it went blue? Did you imagine didn't?
But it didn't. Here's the thing, it didn't like explode. No,
Apparently when they inflate the balloons. They're in some kind
of netting. Yes, so it's in a partic but you
hear it. You can hear it, popp and they knew
(20:04):
immediately that it had popped. Yeah, how about that scandal.
Let's get some more scandals. You can't listen the only time.
There's two things I can think of where where performers
performed live while moving down city streets. One of them Brockampton.
(20:28):
Never mind, nobody knows Brockcampton anymore. The Beastie Boys on
Letterman doing check it out where they start. I'm not
sure where they started from specifically, but they were out
on the street outside the Ed Sullivan Theater and they
got a camera tracking them, and they're walking and the
camera's moving, and they're doing there and they are live,
absolutely live, and they end up going all through into
(20:51):
the building, through the backstage and out onto the stage.
Very cool, but limited distance. The only audio project of
its type that the show had to deal with that day.
And you can do something like that, But otherwise, please
(21:18):
leave the Temptations alone.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Oh and can we give people a heads up? This
will happen at the Rose Parade too, so don't start
complining about the lip syncing at the Rose Parade because
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well, they're going to, they're going to. That's some people,
that's their whole identity, that's their entire identity. Complaining specifically
calling out lip syncing, that's what's on there, that's what's
on their LinkedIn and their dating profile and their social
media bio.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I call out lip syncing. We're gonna be a devil's
advocate for two seconds. Uh no, Just then, why say
you're having live performances? They put it out on all
the media outlets and say live performances from when you
can just say we're going to have music from name
your artist.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
This is the kind of pedantic nitpicking that I personally love.
I'm serious, I'm not being sarcastic against you. This is
you sound like me right now. And they absolutely could
simply say with musical performances from the Temptations and War,
(22:30):
why can't we seeing live? Why can't we seeing live?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Could people sue as viewers?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Ah, my friends, No, I'm lip syncing a lot alone. Well,
except what do you pay? You don't pay anything to
watch it, So what are your damages?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Speaking of people upset about music. This one. I can
kind of understand this one. I've never heard of these
Jim oh well, it's one of Kono's, if not his
favorite band that we're about to talk about. The band
called Knocked Loose, which is, how would you describe them?
They're like a hardcore metal, speed metal, grind core band.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, hardcore guy. I'm a big hardcore So it's
like a metal core. It's like hardcore, but then it
has heavy, heavy riffs.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Heavy. Well, here's the deal. Instead of just trying to
describe it and have people try to imagine it, we're
going to play a little bit for you, not from
the Jimmy Kimmel Show, but of their a single they've
come out with with Poppy, you know, the entertainer Poppy.
And they were on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which, yeah, you
(23:50):
would not expect what you're about to hear on a
show as mainstream as that. So you're in front of
Jimmy Kimmellive, your TV and they go and here's our
musical guess, Knocked Loose with Poppy, and this is what
you hear. Oh my god, all right, take it down,
(24:18):
Take it down, Prono, take it down, because somewhere in
there are some curses and I'm not sure where they go.
So you get the idea of what kind of music
that you're dealing with. So people are complaining about this now,
including some woman who said that it scared her kids
and that her son was crying because it was so scary.
I'd put that on my album after that, I'm scar
(24:40):
that would be the pull quote yeah, quote oh man,
So that happened. Also, let's finish the segment with something.
I don't think anybody's upset about this. Oh. Eileen Gonzalez
has been reporting on this. The National Dog Show took
place yesterday and the winner Best in Show first time
(25:00):
ever for this breed, Veto the pug by Veto. If
you're wondering what does Veto look like? If you know
what a pug looks like, you know what he looks like.
He looks like a pug. He's so cute, indistinguishable to
me from any other pug, which is not a slam
against him at all. I'm just saying, pugs really look
(25:22):
like pugs. Beating out over two thousand other dogs from
two hundred and five breeds.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
And he beat out the German shepherd a Great Dane,
a Dalmatian, a Sheitu, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and at Oskawha,
which I don't remember what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But he's adorable. He was so cute. Yeah, he's a
cute dog. But why did it win? It's just a
little pust He was like this, Well, but you know
if they walk them, they walk them around, it's their stride.
I've watched it.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
That's why a pug has never won, because if you
watch it and you're like, oh, you have to have
you know, they lift their tail and they look in
their butt.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, yeah they do. So I don't know, like why
this pug.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It was just the perfect specimen of a pug. That's
what wins is the perfect specimen of that breed.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Literally, the length of his legs, the length between the torso,
length between the legs, the height, the specific curvature of
his little pug spine, all of these things. I mean,
let's be honest. This is not a competition that you
win from talent and hard work necessarily. It's mostly a
(26:30):
competition that you win from genetics. Like life. It's like life, Like,
yeah that life works. We all know that, ye damn
it Michelle, Yes, can you possibly do you still have
(26:53):
access to the X account for this show? I?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I do have a access to the X account for the KFI.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Okay, can guess? Can you please post the link for
people to vote in the thing we're about to talk
about because it's one of these god awful long URLs. Yes,
I'll post the line, and I'm not gonna say to
people if I say to you, oh, just go to
(27:26):
FhG rehab dot com slash first Dash Responder Dash Pause
Dash Award. That's not gonna help anybody, and it's not
gonna help No Me, the Beverly Hills Police Department support dog,
who is a runner up for the First Responder Pause
Therapy Dog Award. No me. Do you know that Nomy
(27:47):
can detect your blood pressure? And if your job as
a dog is to calm people down, that's a pretty
helpful skill that she has. She also helps kids love
reading with Nomi story time at the Beverly Hills Library.
She does sixteen hours of support training every month. In fact,
(28:11):
there is an event coming up on December thirteenth at
the Beverly Hills Public Library Winter Tales with Nami. So
let's vote her the winner of this thing. However, I mean,
I'll say it again if you wanna try to remember
(28:32):
it or write it down. But Michelle, when you know
exactly people can go just chime in and say, oh
it is up at and just tell people. I'm assuming
we're going to what a KFI Answers.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Form six four dot com. I just posted it with
the link a little picture.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Of me on the web on the we're talking about

Speaker 2 (29:07):
This is how people are talking about election interference all
the time, and here we have all kinds of election
interference where they make it so hard to vote for
this cute dog.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I'll also put it up on the KFI Instagram account
in the stories I'll put there.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, thank you, thank you, welcome. Nommy is very cute.
I looked at all the other nominees and I love
all dogs, and they're all cute. But quite honestly, and
this is not you know, hometown bias. It really isn't.
They're all cute, all these therapy dogs. They're all minimum
(29:41):
B plus plus dogs. But Nommy is an A plus
in comparison. This is the way it is, all right,
So go to those places. Yep, it's right there, all there.
It's on the If you go to the website for
the station, there'll be something there. If you go to
the the ex account for the station at KFIAM six forty,
(30:03):
it'll be there, and the Instagram for the station at
KFIAM six forty, and you'll be able to see her
cute face and go vote for her. And next time,
folks with contests where you go to vote, you know,
put together an easy to say on the radio URL
like Therapy Dog Award dot com. Right, and I could
(30:24):
have said it fifty times people would remember it. Yeah,
all right, Calm down, way, calm down.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Now, this is not a scientific survey or anything like that.
But apparently the New York Times asked people to just
write in with their thoughts about Black Friday, and specifically
the tradition of getting up early and going out and
around to all the stores, and they got a lot
of responses saying, we don't give a damn anymore, and
we would rather sleep in. And there was a time
maybe in our lives when it was fun to get
(30:54):
up early and go stand in lines and go, you know,
closeline another mom to be so that you can get
the doll before she gets to the doll. But no more,
which is true because Black Friday. Remember when it was
big news and we thought we were being so clever
and helpful when we would come on the radio and go,
(31:17):
you know, Black Friday really isn't the day that retailers
go from the red to the black anymore. We thought
we were so cool because we knew that. But now
Black Friday isn't anything. I mean I was getting emails
for Black Friday sales two weeks ago, so.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
It's not a big deal like it used to be.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It really well because of I think e commerce is
a big part of it. You know, if I have
an e store, I'm not gonna wait until Black Friday
to give you a deal. I'll give it to you
a week early and get your money. Then when Black
Friday and the brick and mortars like bo we got
a doorbuster on some gloves, and a lot of people
are like I already bought gloves I bought gloves a
(32:07):
week ago. Sorry. Also, it's much more pleasant to not
have to get out of bed to do your shopping.
You got to get out of bed early and put
on clothes and go wait in a line with a
bunch of stinky people, and then it's a madhouse and
nobody has manners. And also, remember when we thought we
(32:27):
were clever because we were revealing that the best deals
of the year are usually not on Black Friday anymore. Yeah, no,
it's Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is a big thing, but
really it's just once Halloween is over, you start to
get I'm listen, I'm being stalked right now by a
(32:50):
department store chain because I went on their website and
I looked at some bath sheets and some fitted sheets,
which are not the same kinds of sheets.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
As you know.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Bass sheet is basically a huge towel and a fitted
sheet is a sheet. And now every single day I
get emails with this, an item that you browsed is
on sale, an item that you browsed is low in stock,
better buy it now. And it's it's incessant. The the
(33:28):
marketing from businesses has gotten out of control, and it's like,
you know, there's a reason I didn't buy it in
the first place. You got, so don't keep sending it
to me. You have a clear cookies Yeah, no, well
it's too late because it's not a cookie, it's a pixel.
(33:52):
It's those things they call pixels, which is a part
of the website that you can't see that sends information
to them about what you're looking at. That's what they're using.
I don't mind, Listen. I have no problem with being
contacted occasionally by some merchants that I've done business with,
(34:13):
But honest to God, Bloomingdale's, I do not need seven
emails a day from you because the same sphera fitted
sheet is still on sale. I don't need that.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Get it Wayne. They want you to come get it.
That's why I know.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Also, also, this is the time of year where you
hear from merchants you have not done any business with
for literally years. Yes, Oh, Sirlatob is back. I haven't
been in one or purchased anything from a Sirlotab for
probably ten years now. But oh, here they are like
(34:50):
an ex, like an ex coming back with like, hey,
it's been a while, how you doing. There's a reason
we broke up.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Because a spatch look us like fifty FUS dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Well, I just have no you know, you're not a
part of my life anymore. It's kind of sad, really,
it's a little bit sad. So anyway, Black Friday, everybody's
over it. That's why you notice that we're not talking
about it. We're not doing a segment on Black Friday
or anything like that. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that
is Handle on the news for this Friday after Thanksgiving.
(35:25):
If I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
you've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my
show Monday through Friday six am to nine am, and

Ladies and gentlemen, here's Wayne Resnick. Oh, good morning everybody.
T F I AM six forty Live everywhere the iHeartRadio app.
It's a Bill Handle show. He's taking the Friday after
Thanksgiving off. Now. I don't know if this is true.
Just so you understand, I'm not reporting this. I'm sharing
(00:45):
a rumor that there were multiple plumbing trucks seen this
morning in front of the handlehouse. I would not doubt that,
and I know that it is brown Fry, the busiest
day of the year for plumbers. And I'm not gonna
(01:06):
say who tipped me off, but apparently it's a it's
a caravan going on right now. So he has bitter
fish to fry, so to speak. Uh, let's do some
good mornings as his customary during this shift. That voice
you heard the wonderful Michelle Cube, executive producer of KFI

the holidays. Oh yes, and I am here in for Bill.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
After thirty years, I'm still working holidays.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Go figure. Good morning, Wayne, Good morning you never mind.
I was about to say something that you should never
say to a lady, uh oh, you looked deeaph it.
I don't know what I'm I don't know. I don't

You you you do look a tad sleepy.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I'm well Apostathons coming up too, So this is like
that big We had like lots of remotes last week.
Speaker 2 (02:07):

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think I drove five hundred miles in my car
in like three days because I was in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Like three days. It's been.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
It's been busy. And I cooked yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh of course you did, yeah, and then you had

up Wayne? I don't know we're gonna find out. I
got a lot of by the way, Michelle, I know
you're the producer of the show this morning, and I
got a lot of gripes and I can already I
already see the tangents. But I'm going to go off
on all right, And I got a lot on my mind, okay,
(02:46):
and a new face to me possibly to y'all in
for Amy King, Eileen Gonzalez, good morning.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Good morning, And I love that you said, y'all, I'm
from Texas, so I say that all the time.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh, I was born in Texas. We're from Texas, are you.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I'm originally from San Antonio, lived in Dallas and Austin
and all over.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh that's way, that's way over there, Yeah, Port Arthur.
Born in Port Arthur, just like Janis Joplin, way over
on the Louisiana side.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
All right, love the Texans.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Do you mean the team or the people?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah, the people and the team.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Okay, maybe not. So I'm gonna I'm gonna say something
nice about you, even though I don't know you. Okay.
And then here's what's gonna happen for the next few minutes.
Just so everybody, let's just set the stage. I'm gonna
say something nice too, and about Eileen Gonzamas. Then we
are gonna talk for a minute about this Trump guitar
(03:42):
that Eileen was reporting on. They're being sued by Gibson
for copying the less Paul body shape. I'm looking at
it right now, and I have a couple of things
that I do wish to say about it. As as
a guitar person, and then we will start some handle
on the news on this day after Thanksgiving. So, uh,
when I was told you were going to be here,
(04:03):
Alen Gonzalez, Yes, I did go scope out your Instagram,
and I'm just glad to see you describe yourself as
both a mom dog and a cat dog. I know
you have one of each.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yes, I'm not biased. I love them both.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Say so, yes, thank you, because I've had it up
to here with that I'm a this person, which somehow
means I can't be you know what I mean, Like,
I'm a dog person, so cats can all go to
Hell or vice versa. I can't. I can't. I'm not.
I won't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore.
Anybody who says anything like that to me is immediately
excommunicated from my life.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Hey, I even had an iguana once.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Oh that's pretty cool. I never had an iguana. I
had bearded dragons.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Oh cool.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah. All right, let's not spend too far off the
beaten path other than to say heaps of praise upon you,
lover of both of the major pets. Now this guitar
you were reporting, uh, you know they're selling the Trump guitar.
They're actually selling to an acoustic and electric And as
to the electric Trump guitar that they are selling, they
(05:12):
are being sued by Gibson for copying the trademarked Les
Paul guitar shape. So here's the thing. I thought, well,
let's go check out this Trump guitar because I want
to know. I want to know the guitar things about it.
What's the neck radius, does it have a truss rod?
(05:33):
Does it have a double ended truss rod? What?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
What is it made of? What kind of pickups does
it have? What kind of electronics might it have? So
I'm looking at it now, and we start off pretty good.
This is only for guitar people. The next minute or so,
I'm sorry if you don't if you don't care about guitars,
go go ad go ad to Brown Friday for a
(05:57):
minute or two. So we start with it's a mahogany
body and the neck is mahogany and the fret board
is rosewood. And that's all great. Now what kind of
pickups does it have? I really want to know. Well, unfortunately,
this is what they're doing with the branding. You know,
what kind of pickups it has? Maga forty five trump buckers.
(06:22):
That's hilarious to me because, okay, so I know they're
probably humbuckers, which are low noise pickups. I'm not going
to get too far into the weeds, but calling them
maga forty five shrump buckers is weird. But even weirder,
what kinds of strings does it come with? Most of
(06:44):
the time, when you buy a new guitar, they don't
get into what brand of strings are on it. They
might tell you the gauge of the strings that are
on it. But in this case, they're telling you. You
want to know what kind of strings come on your
trump guitar. They're called maga benders. All right, Maga, I
(07:08):
don't it's I it's fifteen hundred dollars this guitar. I
need to know more. What is the what is the
wiring of a trump bucker guitar? Pickup? Do I even
want to look at the acoustic guitar? We're already so
(07:28):
far off where we're supposed to be. Let's take a
look now the oh that is. I am not trying
to upset anybody. I think I think I don't know
if anybody's listening, who's familiar with me at all. I mean,
I've been on a station a long time. Some people
might kind of go, yeah, I've heard him. I'm not
even political. I don't. This acoustic trump guitar is ugly.
(07:53):
It is super ugly. I'm sorry. You can go look
at it and tell me if you dis Actually, don't
tell me, because I don't care. So this is a solid,
solid spruce body. Okay, they don't even know how to
describe a guitar because they're telling me the body is
solid spruce. But then they're telling me the backs and
(08:16):
sides are a different kind of wood, so then the
body can't be spruce. They maybe they mean the top
is solid spruce, the neck is mahogany, the red board
is rosewood. That's nice. These come with magatne strings. Hey,
(08:37):
what kind of strings do you play? Oh? I play
Ernie Ball, fossphor bronze. What do you play? Oh? I
play Martin's What do you play? Oh? My guitars? They're
all strung with magatne. There's way too much graphically going
(08:58):
on with this guitar. It's got a giant eagle on
the front of it, who's not even facing the right way.
And a flag and this massive inlay across the neck
that says make America great again. And it's too much.
I'm not taking issue with the sentiment. I'm taking issue
with the garishness of the thing. Well, it is Trump
(09:22):
twelve hundred and fifty dollars for the acoustic, fifteen hundred
for the electric. Be interesting to see what happens with
the lawsuit with Gibson. All right, here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna start handle on the news right now because
we do have something that's important for some people to hear.
(09:43):
And then we'll get some news from my Lincolnzalas, and
then we'll continue the show and I'll try to be
more professional. So lead story, is there a thing? Sorry,
I sprung that on you, Kono, and I apologize. There
isn't a evacuation warning for some parts of Riverside County
(10:03):
because of a fire called the Canyoncrestfire that started out
when the fire department got to it. Originally it was
one hundred by one hundred feet, considered a spot fire,
and very quickly it went to ten acres and then
eighty five acres. Zero percent containment, and so the important
(10:27):
thing is if you are in this area, you are
under an evacuation warning. And you will know if you
are in Riverside County and I tell you these borders,
you will know north of the sixty east of County
Village Road, south of the Riverside San Barnino County Line,
west of Sierra Avenue. And you can always go to
(10:51):
rvcfire dot org and check out the latest evacuation zones
and other information about this fire. They probably when they
showed up, said oh, we'll take care of this in
a few minutes. And that is not how it goes
anymore with fires in southern California.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It moved quick, and it was a decent day yesterday.
I mean it was it was warm, yeah, I mean you.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Didn't have it wasn't super dry, wasn't it. You didn't
have the crazy winds. But it doesn't matter necessarily anymore.
They will not be pop lockin and tiktoking in Australia
if they are under the age of sixteen because their
parliament has passed a ban on social media for kids
under sixteen. They have like we do. They have a
(11:36):
Senate and they have a House of Representatives. So this
bill passed their Senate thirty four to nineteen and their
House of Representatives one oh two to thirteen. And this
puts the onus on the platforms themselves, not on the kids,
not on the parents, but on the platforms who can
be fined up to fifty million Australian dollars, which is
(12:00):
about thirty three million real dollars that we have here
in the United States, the best dollars in the world,
if they have a problem with kids under sixteen getting
accounts here.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Now, my question is, though, if a kid lies about
his age, I mean, how did they determine whether a
kid is sixteen or younger.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Well, here's the interesting part of this whole thing. The
social media platforms, primarily in this case Meta, who's been
pretty vocal about it. They're not complaining about the idea
of restricting kids under sixteen, but they're saying this law
went through too fast, and it doesn't spell out how
(12:44):
they're supposed to deal with exactly what you're talking about, What,
what will the procedures be, et cetera. So the correct
answer to your question right now is I don't know.
Nobody knows.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, there's nothing preventing anybody from life about when they
were born.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Unless they start to do what they have done in
several states here in the United States with regard to pornography,
which is you have to verify your age, not by
checking a box that says, oh, yeah, I'm eighteen, but
by either uploading drive your government ID, or some states
(13:25):
have something where I guess it turns on your camera
and you show them your face and then it uses
an algorithm to determine if you're over eighteen or not.
And if the algorithm says, oh, this person is absolutely
over eighteen, there's no question, then it puts a little
token on your browser or something like that. It's pretty intrusive. Apparently.
(13:50):
The correct answer, by the way, for you porn lovers
who live in a state where they have this online
ID thing and if you are over eighteen, the correct
answer is to use a VPN and go through a
server in a state that doesn't have that, and then
you won't have to give the government that kind of
(14:13):
sensitive information. Because I'm not believe me, I'm the last
person who is going to get Pornography is the most
evil thing in our society, and anyone who looks at
it is a pervert. No, but I think we can
all agree. Just like going to the bathroom, it's something
almost everybody does, but it's still kind of private, so
(14:38):
you really don't want the government to have that information.
So now this is a little less perhaps upsetting in
the sense of touching on a sensitive area of our
lives wanting to have a TikTok account. So if they
put into place some kind of age verification where you
have to put an official ID or something, all the
(14:59):
government could know, then you were trying to get an
Instagram account, which is maybe less I don't know, less
of a reckoning for you, but they don't know, is
the long answer. Oh so if President elect Donald Trump
spoke to the President of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, and then
(15:21):
they came away and they said some different things about
what they discussed during the phone call, Like, for example,
President elect Trump said, oh, she promised they're going to
stop all the unauthorized border crossings on our border. That's
what she promised me. And she said, no, I didn't
we that's not what I said. There's also the issue
(15:45):
of tariffs. The incoming Trump administration is talking a lot
about putting tariffs on all kinds of items, from all
kinds of countries, and there were people saying this is
going to lead to a tariff war between the United
States and Mexico, and the United States and China. We
put a tariff, they'll put a tariff, and on and
(16:05):
on and on. Well, the President of Mexico said, oh, no,
I am confident we will not have a tariff war
with the United States. Now, she won't say details of
what specifically was discussed, promised, agreed to, offered in exchange
or anything like that, but she is publicly saying she
(16:28):
does not believe there will be a tariff war with Mexico.
Raw milk lovers, there has been a recall of some
raw milk that has bird flu in it. I think
even if you are a proponent of raw milk, you
(16:49):
would agree you would prefer not to have bird flu
in your raw milk. So it's from a company called
raw Farm LLC. And uh they're out of Fresno, and
they've issued a voluntary recall. It's milk lot code number
two O two four one notice. I said it in
(17:11):
the in the public interest, I said it, but I
said it too fast for anybody to remember it. Have
you ever had raw milk. Not to my knowledge, I
have not had raw milk either. Cono, like straight out
of the utter, is that what milk means? I'm assuming
that's not necessarily it. No, it can. It's been bottled
(17:32):
and you know you can find it some places.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Oh, just not like the warmed process goes through it. Right,
that's I don't think so right, it's not passing good
short answer, I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I don't think so that's all right. I lean.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't even have to worry about the bird flu
getting me that way, because I would get so sick
from being lactose intolerant.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Oh all right, so this is not this is not
something you gotta worry about whether your milk is raw
or cooked.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
No, not worried.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Well anyways, So there you go. I don't know what
to think about it. There's a big movement now that
has really surged this year, the pro raw milk.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
People supposed to be good for you, supposedly, but not
if it has verflue.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yeah, see that's not that's the problem. Every year this happens. People.
Once you vent about a thing and then it keeps happening.
Maybe find a new thing. The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
There are always musical performers. This time around, you had
I Believe the Temptations, you had Cocoa Jones, and you
(18:39):
had Ariano Mattox and some other people. And people are
all over social media screaming and yelling because those musical
artists were lip syncing. Now, which is, first of all,
what do you expect them to do in that kind
of a setting where you're moving down the street and
(19:02):
it's live TV. It's not if there were if it
wasn't televised and it was just an event, maybe they
could be up there singing, but they have to coordinate
the audio with a live television broadcast. Yes, there's almost
no way to do it live, and we know this
(19:24):
from years previous. So to act like you've just discovered
the deep dark secret of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,
which is the musical artist or lip syncing, you have
discovered nothing, Magellan, nothing And did you give them a break?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Did you hear before the parade that the bluey balloon.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yes, it went it went blue? Did you imagine didn't?
But it didn't. Here's the thing, it didn't like explode. No,
Apparently when they inflate the balloons. They're in some kind
of netting. Yes, so it's in a partic but you
hear it. You can hear it, popp and they knew
(20:04):
immediately that it had popped. Yeah, how about that scandal.
Let's get some more scandals. You can't listen the only time.
There's two things I can think of where where performers
performed live while moving down city streets. One of them Brockampton.
(20:28):
Never mind, nobody knows Brockcampton anymore. The Beastie Boys on
Letterman doing check it out where they start. I'm not
sure where they started from specifically, but they were out
on the street outside the Ed Sullivan Theater and they
got a camera tracking them, and they're walking and the
camera's moving, and they're doing there and they are live,
absolutely live, and they end up going all through into
(20:51):
the building, through the backstage and out onto the stage.
Very cool, but limited distance. The only audio project of
its type that the show had to deal with that day.
And you can do something like that, But otherwise, please
(21:18):
leave the Temptations alone.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Oh and can we give people a heads up? This
will happen at the Rose Parade too, so don't start
complining about the lip syncing at the Rose Parade because
it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Well, they're going to, they're going to. That's some people,
that's their whole identity, that's their entire identity. Complaining specifically
calling out lip syncing, that's what's on there, that's what's
on their LinkedIn and their dating profile and their social
media bio.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
I call out lip syncing. We're gonna be a devil's
advocate for two seconds. Uh no, Just then, why say
you're having live performances? They put it out on all
the media outlets and say live performances from when you
can just say we're going to have music from name
your artist.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
This is the kind of pedantic nitpicking that I personally love.
I'm serious, I'm not being sarcastic against you. This is
you sound like me right now. And they absolutely could
simply say with musical performances from the Temptations and War,
(22:30):
why can't we seeing live? Why can't we seeing live?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Could people sue as viewers?
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Ah, my friends, No, I'm lip syncing a lot alone. Well,
except what do you pay? You don't pay anything to
watch it, So what are your damages?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Speaking of people upset about music. This one. I can
kind of understand this one. I've never heard of these
Jim oh well, it's one of Kono's, if not his
favorite band that we're about to talk about. The band
called Knocked Loose, which is, how would you describe them?
They're like a hardcore metal, speed metal, grind core band.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Yeah, yeah, hardcore guy. I'm a big hardcore So it's
like a metal core. It's like hardcore, but then it
has heavy, heavy riffs.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Heavy. Well, here's the deal. Instead of just trying to
describe it and have people try to imagine it, we're
going to play a little bit for you, not from
the Jimmy Kimmel Show, but of their a single they've
come out with with Poppy, you know, the entertainer Poppy.
And they were on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which, yeah, you
(23:50):
would not expect what you're about to hear on a
show as mainstream as that. So you're in front of
Jimmy Kimmellive, your TV and they go and here's our
musical guess, Knocked Loose with Poppy, and this is what
you hear. Oh my god, all right, take it down,
(24:18):
Take it down, Prono, take it down, because somewhere in
there are some curses and I'm not sure where they go.
So you get the idea of what kind of music
that you're dealing with. So people are complaining about this now,
including some woman who said that it scared her kids
and that her son was crying because it was so scary.
I'd put that on my album after that, I'm scar
(24:40):
that would be the pull quote yeah, quote oh man,
So that happened. Also, let's finish the segment with something.
I don't think anybody's upset about this. Oh. Eileen Gonzalez
has been reporting on this. The National Dog Show took
place yesterday and the winner Best in Show first time
(25:00):
ever for this breed, Veto the pug by Veto. If
you're wondering what does Veto look like? If you know
what a pug looks like, you know what he looks like.
He looks like a pug. He's so cute, indistinguishable to
me from any other pug, which is not a slam
against him at all. I'm just saying, pugs really look
(25:22):
like pugs. Beating out over two thousand other dogs from
two hundred and five breeds.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
And he beat out the German shepherd a Great Dane,
a Dalmatian, a Sheitu, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and at Oskawha,
which I don't remember what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But he's adorable. He was so cute. Yeah, he's a
cute dog. But why did it win? It's just a
little pust He was like this, Well, but you know
if they walk them, they walk them around, it's their stride.
I've watched it.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
That's why a pug has never won, because if you
watch it and you're like, oh, you have to have
you know, they lift their tail and they look in
their butt.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, yeah they do. So I don't know, like why
this pug.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
It was just the perfect specimen of a pug. That's
what wins is the perfect specimen of that breed.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Literally, the length of his legs, the length between the torso,
length between the legs, the height, the specific curvature of
his little pug spine, all of these things. I mean,
let's be honest. This is not a competition that you
win from talent and hard work necessarily. It's mostly a
(26:30):
competition that you win from genetics. Like life. It's like life, Like,
yeah that life works. We all know that, ye damn
it Michelle, Yes, can you possibly do you still have
(26:53):
access to the X account for this show? I?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I do have a access to the X account for the KFI.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Okay, can guess? Can you please post the link for
people to vote in the thing we're about to talk
about because it's one of these god awful long URLs. Yes,
I'll post the line, and I'm not gonna say to
people if I say to you, oh, just go to
(27:26):
FhG rehab dot com slash first Dash Responder Dash Pause
Dash Award. That's not gonna help anybody, and it's not
gonna help No Me, the Beverly Hills Police Department support dog,
who is a runner up for the First Responder Pause
Therapy Dog Award. No me. Do you know that Nomy
(27:47):
can detect your blood pressure? And if your job as
a dog is to calm people down, that's a pretty
helpful skill that she has. She also helps kids love
reading with Nomi story time at the Beverly Hills Library.
She does sixteen hours of support training every month. In fact,
(28:11):
there is an event coming up on December thirteenth at
the Beverly Hills Public Library Winter Tales with Nami. So
let's vote her the winner of this thing. However, I mean,
I'll say it again if you wanna try to remember
(28:32):
it or write it down. But Michelle, when you know
exactly people can go just chime in and say, oh
it is up at and just tell people. I'm assuming
we're going to what a KFI Answers.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Form six four dot com. I just posted it with

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Of me on the web on the we're talking about

handle is not kfiam six forty dot com.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Is it KIM six forty at?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
See.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
This is how people are talking about election interference all
the time, and here we have all kinds of election
interference where they make it so hard to vote for
this cute dog.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I'll also put it up on the KFI Instagram account
in the stories I'll put there.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, thank you, thank you, welcome. Nommy is very cute.
I looked at all the other nominees and I love
all dogs, and they're all cute. But quite honestly, and
this is not you know, hometown bias. It really isn't.
They're all cute, all these therapy dogs. They're all minimum
(29:41):
B plus plus dogs. But Nommy is an A plus
in comparison. This is the way it is, all right,
So go to those places. Yep, it's right there, all there.
It's on the If you go to the website for
the station, there'll be something there. If you go to
the the ex account for the station at KFIAM six forty,
(30:03):
it'll be there, and the Instagram for the station at
KFIAM six forty, and you'll be able to see her
cute face and go vote for her. And next time,
folks with contests where you go to vote, you know,
put together an easy to say on the radio URL
like Therapy Dog Award dot com. Right, and I could
(30:24):
have said it fifty times people would remember it. Yeah,
all right, Calm down, way, calm down.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Now, this is not a scientific survey or anything like that.
But apparently the New York Times asked people to just
write in with their thoughts about Black Friday, and specifically
the tradition of getting up early and going out and
around to all the stores, and they got a lot
of responses saying, we don't give a damn anymore, and
we would rather sleep in. And there was a time
maybe in our lives when it was fun to get
(30:54):
up early and go stand in lines and go, you know,
closeline another mom to be so that you can get
the doll before she gets to the doll. But no more,
which is true because Black Friday. Remember when it was
big news and we thought we were being so clever
and helpful when we would come on the radio and go,
(31:17):
you know, Black Friday really isn't the day that retailers
go from the red to the black anymore. We thought
we were so cool because we knew that. But now
Black Friday isn't anything. I mean I was getting emails
for Black Friday sales two weeks ago, so.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
It's not a big deal like it used to be.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It really well because of I think e commerce is
a big part of it. You know, if I have
an e store, I'm not gonna wait until Black Friday
to give you a deal. I'll give it to you
a week early and get your money. Then when Black
Friday and the brick and mortars like bo we got
a doorbuster on some gloves, and a lot of people
are like I already bought gloves I bought gloves a
(32:07):
week ago. Sorry. Also, it's much more pleasant to not
have to get out of bed to do your shopping.
You got to get out of bed early and put
on clothes and go wait in a line with a
bunch of stinky people, and then it's a madhouse and
nobody has manners. And also, remember when we thought we
(32:27):
were clever because we were revealing that the best deals
of the year are usually not on Black Friday anymore. Yeah, no,
it's Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is a big thing, but
really it's just once Halloween is over, you start to
get I'm listen, I'm being stalked right now by a
(32:50):
department store chain because I went on their website and
I looked at some bath sheets and some fitted sheets,
which are not the same kinds of sheets.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
As you know.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Bass sheet is basically a huge towel and a fitted
sheet is a sheet. And now every single day I
get emails with this, an item that you browsed is
on sale, an item that you browsed is low in stock,
better buy it now. And it's it's incessant. The the
(33:28):
marketing from businesses has gotten out of control, and it's like,
you know, there's a reason I didn't buy it in
the first place. You got, so don't keep sending it
to me. You have a clear cookies Yeah, no, well
it's too late because it's not a cookie, it's a pixel.
(33:52):
It's those things they call pixels, which is a part
of the website that you can't see that sends information
to them about what you're looking at. That's what they're using.
I don't mind, Listen. I have no problem with being
contacted occasionally by some merchants that I've done business with,
(34:13):
But honest to God, Bloomingdale's, I do not need seven
emails a day from you because the same sphera fitted
sheet is still on sale. I don't need that.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Get it Wayne. They want you to come get it.
That's why I know.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Also, also, this is the time of year where you
hear from merchants you have not done any business with
for literally years. Yes, Oh, Sirlatob is back. I haven't
been in one or purchased anything from a Sirlotab for
probably ten years now. But oh, here they are like
(34:50):
an ex, like an ex coming back with like, hey,
it's been a while, how you doing. There's a reason
we broke up.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Because a spatch look us like fifty FUS dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Well, I just have no you know, you're not a
part of my life anymore. It's kind of sad, really,
it's a little bit sad. So anyway, Black Friday, everybody's
over it. That's why you notice that we're not talking
about it. We're not doing a segment on Black Friday
or anything like that. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that
is Handle on the news for this Friday after Thanksgiving.
(35:25):
If I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
you've been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my
show Monday through Friday six am to nine am, and
