Speaker 4 (01:11):
Okay, you most certainly will not, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It is time for Foody Friday with Neil Savedra Neil
heard tomorrow where he puts on his foodie hat uh
at the Fork Report Saturday two to five pm. And
he puts on his foody hat on Friday when we
do two segments of Foody Friday with Neil Neil Costco story, Yes,
(01:40):
we have to do with a cox Costco story.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Now I always put a Coxco story.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's that's Costco is a company we used to work for,
uh before it became Ieheart.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Now one of the things.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
And this has to do with a food court I
think or food part of Costco does have to do
with food though, Okay, And I was there, of course
a couple of days ago, and I went to the
food court area and I was going to get a
slice of pizza and I don't know if I Yeah,
I did so sometimes the line is too long. And
they now have a turkey sandwich. Didn't they have a
(02:16):
roast beef thing they did?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It was horrible, a nine dollar ROAs.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It was god awful. I tried it once. Now it's
they got rid of that. Now it's a turkey thing.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I did not know that that.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, now it's a roast turkey sandwich on a huge
Chiabat role.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So anyway, they do make.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Prices, I mean they do make changes, and one of
them is a h and you put this up and
I don't know what this is about, but I immediately
have to go and ask this costco muffins backlash, what
is that about?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Here's the deal there were You used to be able
to get it's mix and match twelve yeesh muffins.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I've done that.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
You get two six packs of muffins, but you could
mix and match what's in there. It was nine ninety nine,
and that is being replaced with a different deal of
a one pack of eight muffins for the same of
the same flavor, rather for six ninety nine. So now
it's an eight pack, not two six packs. It's for
(03:19):
six ninety nine, but you can only get one flavor.
You can't mix and match. So there was hubbub about
that because the variety is what made them wonderful. You
could do it for you know, a Continental breakfast or
something like that, for work, for school, for.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Whatever, and you got the variety.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
The bigger thing that people are getting upset about is
there are comments in Reddit posts several users are noticing
something else about this particular bakery trend, and that is
the new ones are smaller. Some saying around they they
are around seventy percent of the size of the old ones.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
So when they did the math, the eight.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Muffins are cheaper than the previous twelve count by three dollars.
Of course, but one redditor did the calculations comparing prices
and found that the new muffins are actually fifty eight
percent more expensive per ounce.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
So people are very much annoyed about this change.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Not only can you not get the variety packs you
have to get the same flavor eight of them, but
also that they're smaller and technically you're paying more for less.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Do they have these discussions when they're sitting in front
of a medical board trying to get a medical license
and say, wait a minute, I want to.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Talk about the muffins at Costco.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
By the way, in terms of inflation, you know, we
talk about, for example, the olive oil that you buy,
which used to buy in fifteen gallon packages, that's gone
up astronomically.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Avocato oil has gone up affort astronomically.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Do you remember we used to get the maple syrup
real maple syrup and yeah, those white containers, those look
like jugs or they are white plastic jugs. The price
has gone up and they're about half the size of
what they used to be. And I'm assuming and what
Costco does is they charge a fourteen percent markup I think,
(05:18):
across the board, no matter what it is. So they
got hit pretty hard. We got hit pretty hard. But
the variety of the muffins, that is a different story.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah, that is a problem that I think annoys people
the most. The second was, you know, whenever you open
up anything like somebody's in the news and someone says
that's a horrible person, Like, everybody comes out of the
woodwork to say, oh, yes, I've met them and they're horrible.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It's one of those things.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
The minute you make a change like this at Costco
with food, something that people hold dear, then everybody's going
to come out of the woodwork and start looking at
things that they hate.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And now it's not only that you can't.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Get the variety pack, it's that they're more per so
of course they're going to start taking swings at Costco.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
That's what people do.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Two days ago, I was at Costco, as I said,
and I was looking for the avocado oil. They have
avocado oil, which is one of the great prices of
avocado oil. It's expensive stuff. It's great oil. It's super
healthy for you and for me. It has a very
high burn temperature five hundred degrees smoke temperature, yeah, or
smoke point or whatever. And so I'm looking and I'm looking,
(06:28):
and I'm looking, and I can't find it. And finally
I stop one of those people that work there and go,
I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
For the avocado oil.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh, we sold out yesterday. How do you sell out?
I guess it's popular stuff.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Well, yeah, and also this is a big cooking and
baking season too, so it's gonna certain things. I was
noticing some changes just the other day looking for some
you know, stuff that is not very difficult to get
and normally, but because of the holidays, people are getting
that turkey sandwich you talked about at Costco.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Is it still? Is it nine ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Like I think it is. I think it is. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
How can they do that.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Up against their large pizza is nine ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think it's I think their pizzas are a loss leader.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, how do they still do a hot dog
and a drink for a dollar fifty, which has been
the same price since the day Costco opened up forty
five years ago, or whatever the hell it is. You
tell me they won't change it. No, they won't change it.
As a matter of philosophy, they just won't. They say,
we opened up, that's always going to stay a dollar fifty.
(07:38):
So fifty years from now, when a hot dog out
any play sales cost you forty three dollars, it'll still
be a dollar fifty. You know they're going to lose
money on that. But sometimes you just say, hey, this
is so important to us, We're willing to take a
loss on this. I don't know that, feeling.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Well, I would never do that. No, of course not.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
They are tightening everything up with you know, this is
more of the changes that are going on in the
world period. But at Costco, specifically with checking now you
have to have the ID and you have to scan
the card. Even at self checkout. They have made some
major changes to their food court and now the muffin gate.
(08:20):
So we shall see, all right, laser etched food labels.
Explain that one we'll do in one second. If I
can just really quickly do two things. One remind people
that I'm giving away a year's worth I think two
of these yours worth of Don Francisco's coffee on the
show tomorrow, So please join me there. They're good friends
(08:44):
and partners on the show. And also a shout out
to Julie. It is my kidney versary, my five year
kidney versary today of my kidney transplant. So she's a
huge fan of yours, as you know, my donor, and
so I wanted to give her a shout out. Yeah
neat lady, you have a chance to meter and vice verse.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Okay, So on to what we're doing here.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Uh, we think about waste in packaging, right, whether it's dirofoam, cardboard, plastic,
whatever it is. When it comes to food, we think
of that as sustainability and the like. But what we
don't think about is those little stickers that we find
on fruits and veggies. Right, you don't think about those,
(09:26):
but there is a lot of non composed composed of
plastic that slips off that is, you know, used for
identification purposes, branding things like that that are on those
little stickers.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You remember the Chiquita banana ones.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, thank yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I mean, I'm just yeah with fruit and sometimes a
stick and can't even eat it because you're biting into
the paper.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
So now with the technology of a laser, you can
do very you know, uh, low power laser etching on
the actual skin of the fruit.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
And it there's nothing that is there's no waste to
that whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And that when you're talking about every every individual piece
of fruit.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Well think about this.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
For canned foods they got they have to put dates,
they have to put all kinds of them, and those
are they go on a conveyor belt by a very
special printer. It's it's a like a dot matrix printer
and it spits out these inkjet bits onto you know,
bottles and things like that, egg cartons. So we have
the technology of these belts and they've been doing it
(10:38):
in Central Europe for a long time, uh, and it's
becoming more popular. So this UK based supplier of fruits
and plant based products has announced plans to replace all
of their plu plastic stickers on their mangos right now
with laser cutting. And it's actually I think it's more attractive.
It looks white. It makes a kind of a white
(11:01):
label on there, and I've done this here. I have
a bunch of laser etching equipment here at the house.
As you know, I like to make things and create
and the like, and I've laser etched on food before
to personalize it or do something fun or playful, whether
it's even on bread or cookies or what have you.
And it really does a nice job. It causes no problem.
(11:25):
It's completely edible. Okay, and this is what the future
I think is going to bring.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
All right, snack raps. Let's talk about that because we
only have about a minute and a half.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, this is huge.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
McDonald's is bringing the snap snack wrap back. So Amy
and I have talked about this, I think on the
show before. Maybe Ann has chimed in. But there they
were very good and it was kind of a bumble
that they took them out. So it's a wrap, it's
a tortilla wrap. But it had the i think either
grilled or the fried chicken with laid it lettuce and
(11:59):
the like. And they were very popular in one of
the you know, they're kind of lower calorie and you
can get them and.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
They were small though, weren't they They weren't too small.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I mean they were good enough for a you know,
for a quick bite lunch, but they just continued them
in twenty sixteen. Fans have been begging McDonald's to bring
them back, and after those eight long years, they're bringing
them back. We don't have an exact date, but it
is going to be in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I just niazed, okay for you, good for me? All right,
all right, we're done. Yeah, yeah, we're done. We're finished.
A Now there are a couple of segments.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Gone, wow, what are you bored?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Completely, we're all working here.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, no, actually I'm not.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I frankly, that was me just making fun of you.
I do not get bored with food. You have known
me for a long time. Food is not in boring
subjects for either part of us.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Some of our most engaged in longest conversation the past
thirty years have been.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You and I talking about food.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, Now let's go ahead and engage and ask handle anything.
This is a fairly new time, fairly new segment which
I think we're going to keep.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And here's how it works.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
People call in and I'll explain how that works, and
they leave a question recording and then fifteen seconds or less,
it's asked me anything, Neil, and and choose the questions.
I have not heard them before. I hear them for
the first time as you hear them, and I just
answer the questions spontaneously.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Hey, Bill, yeah, before you start that, just because I
know you're going to get into this. But we are
just getting words that Nancy Pelosi's in the hospital. We'll
get you more information as it comes in, but I
just wanted to make you.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Aware of that.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Okay, thank you, And that's something we're going to jump
on obviously if it unfortunately goes south or yeah, I
happen to be a big fan of hers book, even
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Ask Handle anything, Neil, you want to introduce, or we
just go for it.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I think we're good.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Good morning Handle, Good morning KFI and to the entire crew.
Just one question for Bill Handle, how do you rate
yourself as a real human being?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Okay? First of all, okay, hey Rubin, I want to
thank you. Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I want to congratulate you winning some award from the
National Association of Anesthesiologists.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Could he almost put me to sleep with that question.
How do I rate myself as a human being?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Not high, not very high. From one to ten, I
give myself maybe a three point two. Okay, generous, I
am generous, all right.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Cono, Hey Bill, big fan here names Eric. I was
just wondering, when's the last time you saw your star
in Hollywood? I saw it maybe a couple of years ago.
But yeah, I don't really like to travel down there.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, no, I understand because it's in a really crappy
area of town. I get that. I went to visit
it a I think last year.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I went to visit it to visit the star, but
the homeless guy who was peeing on it looked so
formidable that I didn't want to push him out.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Of the way.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You know.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I went down there once, Bill, and there was this
guy that was cleaning all of the There was human
feces on it.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
To be honest with you, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Like, oh, big handle fan. He said, no, I think
it's degrading to the poop.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well there you go, all right, next question, I'll do
the jokes.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Okay, hey Bill, you're a nice Jewish boy, and.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I wonder why you hang out with that boy, Neil.
He's a nice guy.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
But still because Neil's somebody's asking me why you hang
out with me.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah, because Neil's a nice guy. We have all kinds
of discussions. We've been very good friends for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But you know what, you have a point. I'm going
to revisit this entire concept. Next question, Bill Handle, you're
and alf excellent. That's it?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Oh, sorry, that one, that's the question.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I was just that wasn't a question that one just
that must have just yeah, just slipped out.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Okay, next question, Hi.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Bill Handle, this is cluding from Long Beach. Since you've
moved to Orange County. What is your favorite restaurant.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
That you've discovered in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Oh that's a pretty good question.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well, I still like my go to for very high
end restaurants, I mean really gourmet restaurants as cheesecake Factory.
I'll never spend more money than that for a meal.
I have discovered a couple of what's the name of it.
There's a sort of burrito place that gives you massive
burritos for like eighty five cents.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Just try very high quality food, Neil. I'm just trying
to figure out what restaurants.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You know what, I'm too early here to really figure
out favorite restaurants, So sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Can't answer that question. Okay, it happens.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Next question, Hey, Bill, are you part owner of Zelman's
Mintee now Mint?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, I am a principal because I have known these
people for many, many years and I have a small
part of Zelman's.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
So the answer is yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So when I tell you I believe in this product,
I do believe in this product big time.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Hi Bill, this is a long time listener. I've been
listening to you since the nineties when you did radio radio.
Enjoyed those phone calls that you would get. I have
a question for you, why don't you bring back live
phone calls? And also I enjoyed your Jihad song.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I think that if you bring.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Back those two things, it would make your radio show
a lot better.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Radio tradio is something that very very small markets do.
If there is a radio station that has, oh, I
don't know, for listeners, they will do radio tradio. And
it's a barter system where someone goes on the air
and says I have and this, by the way, these
are calls that I used to actually take.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So I'm not making this up.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I have a roll of chicken wire and I am
looking for insert name of whatever, and people would go
and these calls. I remember saying I have an earth
worm farm and I would like to trade for a
bucket of earthworms, and you just go crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It is absolutely wonderful. We should bring that back.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
You're right, you remember I wrote the song. Do you
remember what the song was to radio tradio? No, it
was to Beverly Hillbillies. Is let me tell you a
story about a man named Bill had a radio show
and he had some time to kill.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
He opened up the phone lines.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
U and he asks you to a show and he
killed an hour flat and called it radio radio less
than a three share.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, I do, actually I do remember. That was very clever.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
And then the other part of it, why don't we
do the g Hod song anymore? Because we'd like this
building to remain standing.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
That's why we don't do the g Hot song anymo.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Was that a Dick Cabasa song? It could have been.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It could have been.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I know.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Maybe we're reaching the point now that wokeism is on
its way out the door.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Are we going to bring back the stuff that we
used to use that is so offensive. If you think
I'm offensive now.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Man, I don't even I'm not even on the same
planet as the stuff we used to do.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That. It may come back, It may come back. Next question, Hi, Bill.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I was wondering what company you're using to get the
residential elevator in your home.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
We looked into it and they told us that we
have to order through Germany.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, no, absolutely not. It's an American company. It's I
think in Huntington Beach and frankly I forgot the name,
and you know, I'm sorry about that. And they're installing
it like now. And the reason I'm putting in a
residential elevator, and I've talked about this, I don't know
how many years. First of all, the technology today it's
(20:43):
like a tube that you can put anywhere in the house.
It's like a transporter tube that you saw in Star Trek.
And the reason I'm putting it in is for the
reason I've been telling you is, you know, when I
get old and decrepit, not that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Now, you know, you have two story house, gotta leave.
You know, people just have to leave their houses.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And if there's an elevator. You make it up, and
it's and relatively inexpensive, because I had one in the
Persian Palace to cost me a fortune. That's why I'm
a big, big believer. A lot cheaper than putting in
a bathroom, I'll tell you that, A hell of a
lot cheaper than redoing your kitchen.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Next question, Hey Bill, I'm from central Ohio, just on
the edge of Appalachia.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
What do you have against possum pie and squirrel stew?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
You know, because I've never been able to find good
squirrel stew for some reason. And I'm a big fan,
by the way, don't don't misunderstand. I like squirrel, I
like possum, I like all of that. It's just I
can't find any good stuff. Even Neil doesn't come up
with good recipes for squirrel.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
So it's about the preparation.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Have you a quick question.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Have you since you lost your tooth and you have
that big gap in your in your teeth now, have
you been craving it more?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Have you been craving to see?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
There it is? And I do.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
My tooth broke off at the gum line. I'm going
in today to the dentists to have it fixed.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Thank you. Uh yeah, thank you. That's embarrassing. All right.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Next question, Bill, have you ever gotten stuck inside of
the elevator inside of your house?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And if you do get stuck, what's your escape plan?
Speaker 7 (22:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
My escape plan is walking out the door. And the
answer is.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
No, because like most elevators, there is a backup. There
is BAT, there are batteries, certainly residential, and it brings
it down to floor level, it opens it up.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
So the answer is no. No one ever got stuck
in the one at the Persian Palace.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Never because I had a I have a I had
a double redundancy system.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I had uh you know, I had my solar.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
System which kicked in and then uh, there was a
battery installed, which I don't know why people don't do,
and if the power cuts completely, there's enough batpower to
bring it down to the floor level, first floor level, whatever,
and then the door opens up. So the answer is no,
because I would have flipped out.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's the answer. Okay, I mean it's a good question.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I get it, not bad, and there was the answer
not embarrassing makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
All right.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
One more question, Hey, Bill, this is my ask anything question,
why did your friends not name their company zell mins,
z E l M I nts.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's a that's a simpler, Yeah, it is. I have
the answer you out. By the way, I enjoy them. Okay, anything,
I'm fine. Well, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, Zelman's minty Mouth Mints. That actually is an excellent
question because I asked the same question. It turns out
that Anthony, who is an owner of the company with Lauren,
his wife, who I have known for thirty years, his
nickname from his kids when they were little was Zelman's.
(23:59):
The kids used to call him Zelman's or Zellman. Don't
know why, but that was a nickname the kids came
up with. And it's his nickname. That's what it is.
There's the answer.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Wow, I'm glad you didn't come up with it because
your kids used to call you limp d.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
That's yeah, all right, guys, we're done, strangely enough, thank
you for that. And by the way, they don't. What
they do is call me a hole, and they do.
By the way, Dad, you're such an a hole. Yes,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You make a living being an a hole. And of
course saying the entire world they go, yeah, that's absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Human ATM is also another nickname.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yes it is, yeah, human credit card dispenser. All right, guys,
we are done. Finish finish. Monday, of course, Amy comes

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Okay, you most certainly will not, sir.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It is time for Foody Friday with Neil Savedra Neil
heard tomorrow where he puts on his foodie hat uh
at the Fork Report Saturday two to five pm. And
he puts on his foody hat on Friday when we
do two segments of Foody Friday with Neil Neil Costco story, Yes,
(01:40):
we have to do with a cox Costco story.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Now I always put a Coxco story.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I know, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's that's Costco is a company we used to work for,
uh before it became Ieheart.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Now one of the things.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
And this has to do with a food court I
think or food part of Costco does have to do
with food though, Okay, And I was there, of course
a couple of days ago, and I went to the
food court area and I was going to get a
slice of pizza and I don't know if I Yeah,
I did so sometimes the line is too long. And
they now have a turkey sandwich. Didn't they have a
(02:16):
roast beef thing they did?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It was horrible, a nine dollar ROAs.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
It was god awful. I tried it once. Now it's
they got rid of that. Now it's a turkey thing.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I did not know that that.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, now it's a roast turkey sandwich on a huge
Chiabat role.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So anyway, they do make.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Prices, I mean they do make changes, and one of
them is a h and you put this up and
I don't know what this is about, but I immediately
have to go and ask this costco muffins backlash, what
is that about?
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Here's the deal there were You used to be able
to get it's mix and match twelve yeesh muffins.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I've done that.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
You get two six packs of muffins, but you could
mix and match what's in there. It was nine ninety nine,
and that is being replaced with a different deal of
a one pack of eight muffins for the same of
the same flavor, rather for six ninety nine. So now
it's an eight pack, not two six packs. It's for
(03:19):
six ninety nine, but you can only get one flavor.
You can't mix and match. So there was hubbub about
that because the variety is what made them wonderful. You
could do it for you know, a Continental breakfast or
something like that, for work, for school, for.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Whatever, and you got the variety.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
The bigger thing that people are getting upset about is
there are comments in Reddit posts several users are noticing
something else about this particular bakery trend, and that is
the new ones are smaller. Some saying around they they
are around seventy percent of the size of the old ones.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
So when they did the math, the eight.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Muffins are cheaper than the previous twelve count by three dollars.
Of course, but one redditor did the calculations comparing prices
and found that the new muffins are actually fifty eight
percent more expensive per ounce.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
So people are very much annoyed about this change.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
Not only can you not get the variety packs you
have to get the same flavor eight of them, but
also that they're smaller and technically you're paying more for less.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Do they have these discussions when they're sitting in front
of a medical board trying to get a medical license
and say, wait a minute, I want to.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Talk about the muffins at Costco.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
By the way, in terms of inflation, you know, we
talk about, for example, the olive oil that you buy,
which used to buy in fifteen gallon packages, that's gone
up astronomically.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Avocato oil has gone up affort astronomically.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Do you remember we used to get the maple syrup
real maple syrup and yeah, those white containers, those look
like jugs or they are white plastic jugs. The price
has gone up and they're about half the size of
what they used to be. And I'm assuming and what
Costco does is they charge a fourteen percent markup I think,
(05:18):
across the board, no matter what it is. So they
got hit pretty hard. We got hit pretty hard. But
the variety of the muffins, that is a different story.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah, that is a problem that I think annoys people
the most. The second was, you know, whenever you open
up anything like somebody's in the news and someone says
that's a horrible person, Like, everybody comes out of the
woodwork to say, oh, yes, I've met them and they're horrible.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
It's one of those things.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
The minute you make a change like this at Costco
with food, something that people hold dear, then everybody's going
to come out of the woodwork and start looking at
things that they hate.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
And now it's not only that you can't.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Get the variety pack, it's that they're more per so
of course they're going to start taking swings at Costco.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
That's what people do.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Two days ago, I was at Costco, as I said,
and I was looking for the avocado oil. They have
avocado oil, which is one of the great prices of
avocado oil. It's expensive stuff. It's great oil. It's super
healthy for you and for me. It has a very
high burn temperature five hundred degrees smoke temperature, yeah, or
smoke point or whatever. And so I'm looking and I'm looking,
(06:28):
and I'm looking, and I can't find it. And finally
I stop one of those people that work there and go,
I'm looking.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
For the avocado oil.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh, we sold out yesterday. How do you sell out?
I guess it's popular stuff.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Well, yeah, and also this is a big cooking and
baking season too, so it's gonna certain things. I was
noticing some changes just the other day looking for some
you know, stuff that is not very difficult to get
and normally, but because of the holidays, people are getting
that turkey sandwich you talked about at Costco.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Is it still? Is it nine ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Like I think it is. I think it is. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
How can they do that.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Up against their large pizza is nine ninety nine?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think it's I think their pizzas are a loss leader.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I mean, how do they still do a hot dog
and a drink for a dollar fifty, which has been
the same price since the day Costco opened up forty
five years ago, or whatever the hell it is. You
tell me they won't change it. No, they won't change it.
As a matter of philosophy, they just won't. They say,
we opened up, that's always going to stay a dollar fifty.
(07:38):
So fifty years from now, when a hot dog out
any play sales cost you forty three dollars, it'll still
be a dollar fifty. You know they're going to lose
money on that. But sometimes you just say, hey, this
is so important to us, We're willing to take a
loss on this. I don't know that, feeling.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Well, I would never do that. No, of course not.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
They are tightening everything up with you know, this is
more of the changes that are going on in the
world period. But at Costco, specifically with checking now you
have to have the ID and you have to scan
the card. Even at self checkout. They have made some
major changes to their food court and now the muffin gate.
(08:20):
So we shall see, all right, laser etched food labels.
Explain that one we'll do in one second. If I
can just really quickly do two things. One remind people
that I'm giving away a year's worth I think two
of these yours worth of Don Francisco's coffee on the
show tomorrow, So please join me there. They're good friends
(08:44):
and partners on the show. And also a shout out
to Julie. It is my kidney versary, my five year
kidney versary today of my kidney transplant. So she's a
huge fan of yours, as you know, my donor, and
so I wanted to give her a shout out. Yeah
neat lady, you have a chance to meter and vice verse.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Okay, So on to what we're doing here.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Uh, we think about waste in packaging, right, whether it's dirofoam, cardboard, plastic,
whatever it is. When it comes to food, we think
of that as sustainability and the like. But what we
don't think about is those little stickers that we find
on fruits and veggies. Right, you don't think about those,
(09:26):
but there is a lot of non composed composed of
plastic that slips off that is, you know, used for
identification purposes, branding things like that that are on those
little stickers.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You remember the Chiquita banana ones.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Yeah, yeah, thank yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I mean, I'm just yeah with fruit and sometimes a
stick and can't even eat it because you're biting into
the paper.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
So now with the technology of a laser, you can
do very you know, uh, low power laser etching on
the actual skin of the fruit.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
And it there's nothing that is there's no waste to
that whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
And that when you're talking about every every individual piece
of fruit.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Well think about this.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
For canned foods they got they have to put dates,
they have to put all kinds of them, and those
are they go on a conveyor belt by a very
special printer. It's it's a like a dot matrix printer
and it spits out these inkjet bits onto you know,
bottles and things like that, egg cartons. So we have
the technology of these belts and they've been doing it
(10:38):
in Central Europe for a long time, uh, and it's
becoming more popular. So this UK based supplier of fruits
and plant based products has announced plans to replace all
of their plu plastic stickers on their mangos right now
with laser cutting. And it's actually I think it's more attractive.
It looks white. It makes a kind of a white
(11:01):
label on there, and I've done this here. I have
a bunch of laser etching equipment here at the house.
As you know, I like to make things and create
and the like, and I've laser etched on food before
to personalize it or do something fun or playful, whether
it's even on bread or cookies or what have you.
And it really does a nice job. It causes no problem.
(11:25):
It's completely edible. Okay, and this is what the future
I think is going to bring.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
That's cool.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
All right, snack raps. Let's talk about that because we
only have about a minute and a half.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Okay, this is huge.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
McDonald's is bringing the snap snack wrap back. So Amy
and I have talked about this, I think on the
show before. Maybe Ann has chimed in. But there they
were very good and it was kind of a bumble
that they took them out. So it's a wrap, it's
a tortilla wrap. But it had the i think either
grilled or the fried chicken with laid it lettuce and
(11:59):
the like. And they were very popular in one of
the you know, they're kind of lower calorie and you
can get them and.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
They were small though, weren't they They weren't too small.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I mean they were good enough for a you know,
for a quick bite lunch, but they just continued them
in twenty sixteen. Fans have been begging McDonald's to bring
them back, and after those eight long years, they're bringing
them back. We don't have an exact date, but it
is going to be in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I just niazed, okay for you, good for me? All right,
all right, we're done. Yeah, yeah, we're done. We're finished.
A Now there are a couple of segments.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Gone, wow, what are you bored?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Completely, we're all working here.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, no, actually I'm not.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I frankly, that was me just making fun of you.
I do not get bored with food. You have known
me for a long time. Food is not in boring
subjects for either part of us.
Speaker 6 (12:57):
Some of our most engaged in longest conversation the past
thirty years have been.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You and I talking about food.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
That's correct.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Okay, Now let's go ahead and engage and ask handle anything.
This is a fairly new time, fairly new segment which
I think we're going to keep.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
And here's how it works.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
People call in and I'll explain how that works, and
they leave a question recording and then fifteen seconds or less,
it's asked me anything, Neil, and and choose the questions.
I have not heard them before. I hear them for
the first time as you hear them, and I just
answer the questions spontaneously.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Hey, Bill, yeah, before you start that, just because I
know you're going to get into this. But we are
just getting words that Nancy Pelosi's in the hospital. We'll
get you more information as it comes in, but I
just wanted to make you.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Aware of that.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Okay, thank you, And that's something we're going to jump
on obviously if it unfortunately goes south or yeah, I
happen to be a big fan of hers book, even
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Ask Handle anything, Neil, you want to introduce, or we
just go for it.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
I think we're good.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Good morning Handle, Good morning KFI and to the entire crew.
Just one question for Bill Handle, how do you rate
yourself as a real human being?
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Okay? First of all, okay, hey Rubin, I want to
thank you. Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I want to congratulate you winning some award from the
National Association of Anesthesiologists.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Could he almost put me to sleep with that question.
How do I rate myself as a human being?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Not high, not very high. From one to ten, I
give myself maybe a three point two. Okay, generous, I
am generous, all right.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Cono, Hey Bill, big fan here names Eric. I was
just wondering, when's the last time you saw your star
in Hollywood? I saw it maybe a couple of years ago.
But yeah, I don't really like to travel down there.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, no, I understand because it's in a really crappy
area of town. I get that. I went to visit
it a I think last year.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I went to visit it to visit the star, but
the homeless guy who was peeing on it looked so
formidable that I didn't want to push him out.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Of the way.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
You know.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I went down there once, Bill, and there was this
guy that was cleaning all of the There was human
feces on it.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
To be honest with you, and I'm.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Like, oh, big handle fan. He said, no, I think
it's degrading to the poop.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Well there you go, all right, next question, I'll do
the jokes.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Okay, hey Bill, you're a nice Jewish boy, and.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I wonder why you hang out with that boy, Neil.
He's a nice guy.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
But still because Neil's somebody's asking me why you hang
out with me.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Yeah, because Neil's a nice guy. We have all kinds
of discussions. We've been very good friends for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
But you know what, you have a point. I'm going
to revisit this entire concept. Next question, Bill Handle, you're
and alf excellent. That's it?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Oh, sorry, that one, that's the question.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
I was just that wasn't a question that one just
that must have just yeah, just slipped out.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Okay, next question, Hi.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Bill Handle, this is cluding from Long Beach. Since you've
moved to Orange County. What is your favorite restaurant.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
That you've discovered in Orange County.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Oh that's a pretty good question.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well, I still like my go to for very high
end restaurants, I mean really gourmet restaurants as cheesecake Factory.
I'll never spend more money than that for a meal.
I have discovered a couple of what's the name of it.
There's a sort of burrito place that gives you massive
burritos for like eighty five cents.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Just try very high quality food, Neil. I'm just trying
to figure out what restaurants.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You know what, I'm too early here to really figure
out favorite restaurants, So sorry about that.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Can't answer that question. Okay, it happens.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Next question, Hey, Bill, are you part owner of Zelman's
Mintee now Mint?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yeah, I am a principal because I have known these
people for many, many years and I have a small
part of Zelman's.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
So the answer is yes, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
So when I tell you I believe in this product,
I do believe in this product big time.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Hi Bill, this is a long time listener. I've been
listening to you since the nineties when you did radio radio.
Enjoyed those phone calls that you would get. I have
a question for you, why don't you bring back live
phone calls? And also I enjoyed your Jihad song.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
I think that if you bring.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Back those two things, it would make your radio show
a lot better.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Radio tradio is something that very very small markets do.
If there is a radio station that has, oh, I
don't know, for listeners, they will do radio tradio. And
it's a barter system where someone goes on the air
and says I have and this, by the way, these
are calls that I used to actually take.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So I'm not making this up.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I have a roll of chicken wire and I am
looking for insert name of whatever, and people would go
and these calls. I remember saying I have an earth
worm farm and I would like to trade for a
bucket of earthworms, and you just go crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
It is absolutely wonderful. We should bring that back.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
You're right, you remember I wrote the song. Do you
remember what the song was to radio tradio? No, it
was to Beverly Hillbillies. Is let me tell you a
story about a man named Bill had a radio show
and he had some time to kill.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
He opened up the phone lines.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
U and he asks you to a show and he
killed an hour flat and called it radio radio less
than a three share.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, I do, actually I do remember. That was very clever.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
And then the other part of it, why don't we
do the g Hod song anymore? Because we'd like this
building to remain standing.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
That's why we don't do the g Hot song anymo.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Was that a Dick Cabasa song? It could have been.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It could have been.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I know.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Maybe we're reaching the point now that wokeism is on
its way out the door.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Are we going to bring back the stuff that we
used to use that is so offensive. If you think
I'm offensive now.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Man, I don't even I'm not even on the same
planet as the stuff we used to do.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
That. It may come back, It may come back. Next question, Hi, Bill.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I was wondering what company you're using to get the
residential elevator in your home.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
We looked into it and they told us that we
have to order through Germany.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, no, absolutely not. It's an American company. It's I
think in Huntington Beach and frankly I forgot the name,
and you know, I'm sorry about that. And they're installing
it like now. And the reason I'm putting in a
residential elevator, and I've talked about this, I don't know
how many years. First of all, the technology today it's
(20:43):
like a tube that you can put anywhere in the house.
It's like a transporter tube that you saw in Star Trek.
And the reason I'm putting it in is for the
reason I've been telling you is, you know, when I
get old and decrepit, not that I'm not.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Now, you know, you have two story house, gotta leave.
You know, people just have to leave their houses.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
And if there's an elevator. You make it up, and
it's and relatively inexpensive, because I had one in the
Persian Palace to cost me a fortune. That's why I'm
a big, big believer. A lot cheaper than putting in
a bathroom, I'll tell you that, A hell of a
lot cheaper than redoing your kitchen.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Next question, Hey Bill, I'm from central Ohio, just on
the edge of Appalachia.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
What do you have against possum pie and squirrel stew?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
You know, because I've never been able to find good
squirrel stew for some reason. And I'm a big fan,
by the way, don't don't misunderstand. I like squirrel, I
like possum, I like all of that. It's just I
can't find any good stuff. Even Neil doesn't come up
with good recipes for squirrel.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
So it's about the preparation.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well, absolutely.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Have you a quick question.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
Have you since you lost your tooth and you have
that big gap in your in your teeth now, have
you been craving it more?
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Have you been craving to see?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
There it is? And I do.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
My tooth broke off at the gum line. I'm going
in today to the dentists to have it fixed.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Thank you. Uh yeah, thank you. That's embarrassing. All right.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Next question, Bill, have you ever gotten stuck inside of
the elevator inside of your house?
Speaker 4 (22:20):
And if you do get stuck, what's your escape plan?
Speaker 7 (22:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
My escape plan is walking out the door. And the
answer is.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
No, because like most elevators, there is a backup. There
is BAT, there are batteries, certainly residential, and it brings
it down to floor level, it opens it up.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
So the answer is no. No one ever got stuck
in the one at the Persian Palace.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Never because I had a I have a I had
a double redundancy system.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I had uh you know, I had my solar.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
System which kicked in and then uh, there was a
battery installed, which I don't know why people don't do,
and if the power cuts completely, there's enough batpower to
bring it down to the floor level, first floor level, whatever,
and then the door opens up. So the answer is no,
because I would have flipped out.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's the answer. Okay, I mean it's a good question.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
I get it, not bad, and there was the answer
not embarrassing makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
All right.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
One more question, Hey, Bill, this is my ask anything question,
why did your friends not name their company zell mins,
z E l M I nts.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
That's a that's a simpler, Yeah, it is. I have
the answer you out. By the way, I enjoy them. Okay, anything,
I'm fine. Well, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah, Zelman's minty Mouth Mints. That actually is an excellent
question because I asked the same question. It turns out
that Anthony, who is an owner of the company with Lauren,
his wife, who I have known for thirty years, his
nickname from his kids when they were little was Zelman's.
(23:59):
The kids used to call him Zelman's or Zellman. Don't
know why, but that was a nickname the kids came
up with. And it's his nickname. That's what it is.
There's the answer.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
Wow, I'm glad you didn't come up with it because
your kids used to call you limp d.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
That's yeah, all right, guys, we're done, strangely enough, thank
you for that. And by the way, they don't. What
they do is call me a hole, and they do.
By the way, Dad, you're such an a hole. Yes,
that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You make a living being an a hole. And of
course saying the entire world they go, yeah, that's absolutely true.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Human ATM is also another nickname.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yes it is, yeah, human credit card dispenser. All right, guys,
we are done. Finish finish. Monday, of course, Amy comes
back at five am. The rest of us come aboard,
