No, your mic was not on, Sir.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Mike on this side wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We were Neil and I and and we're talking about
basically management philosophy here, you know, and no, I.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Was talking about you your philosophy.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, and in general, how you know how stations are run,
you know, relative to how much they cost, how much
they bring in? It's you know, let me tell you
and folks, this is not a secret. This is a business.
And you've heard that phrase show business. Is the reason
that the word business is in the phrase show business.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
And so we were discussing.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Income and revenue and which is the same and the
cost of and I come in from a business person's perspective,
So I look at it as as a business person.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So yeah, well you're expensive.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well that's that's irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, we can do the show without you.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Hard to do the bill Handle show? No bill Handle.
But by the way, that is, do they make more
money with a Neil Savadra show than they do with
a bill Handle show?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
And if they, if they're doing them, go to and.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Let us know, Oh yes, yes, Or let's do a
dollar a hauler back in those days.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
God, I'd love to do that, wouldn't you do it?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
No one cares to take take whatever inventory has left
during the times when there are when not other commercials
were sold, which happens to every news outlet, every entertainment outlet,
and use those commercials that commercial time for all right,
what are you selling, folks? And we'll do a barter.
(02:37):
And I used to do that. I got some chicken
wire I have.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I remember radio radio quite well.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I have an earthworm farm.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
These are real calls that came in And then I
would go, does anybody need earthworms? What would you need
earthworms for? For gardens? If you are a fanatic gardener, you.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Cat to use them as bait. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Depend depending on your ethnicity. Can you use them as food? Earthworms?
Matter of fact, you can.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Who eats earthworms?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, a lot of cultures eat crickets and grasshoppers.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah, grasshoppers fry them.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, if you go to wahawk in restaurants, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Mexican restaurants do that. Also in Asia they do that.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh yeah, we are way behind in the West when
it comes to uh uh protein coming from I don't
know if I use way behind, but you're right, we are.
There was it, you can go, you can trace it
back and you can see where it was. It was
the norm, and then we split off from it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And is it because they're so tasty and wonderful or
is it because other forms of protein simply are too
expensive and.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They they're easy to raise. You can raise them and
they're super super sustained bowl and the protein is damn
near exact, pretty close to meat protein.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, it is it and uses less water, less resources.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Of cultural I understand that that it will happen.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
What we do is producing the sheep and cows is
insanely expensive in terms of water, in terms of land
for uh for fodder.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And as far as bacteria and viruses, and things like
that much more prevalent.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
So anyway, are we going to get there? We might?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, you know how long it took for us to
adapt to sushi, almost thirty years in the United States,
almost thirty years for us to adapt get over the
ick factor of sushi.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, I originally and I love so do I and
I've just recently stopped asking for it. Well done, Amy Stock.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Laugh at that.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
That's Christmas.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, she's given gifts.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The gift of laughter is a gift.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Of Bill, You're funny. That's a mercy stop no mercy.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Laugh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I appreciate that. All right, we acknowledged mercy. Neil and
I have already started. And good morning, Good morning Amy,
Hi Bill?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Uh to a rabbi, a jew, and a kangaroo walk
into a bar, all right, cono, good morning, good morning,
all right, the whole crowd.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
By the way, I wasn't a joke. I just threw
that in there. Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know, horse walks in man, you have a long face. Okay,
there's lots of those.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
My favorite bar joke is a grasshopper walks into a
bar and the bartender goes, hey, we have a drink
named after you, and the grasshopper says, you have a
drink named Harold no one.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I oh you laugh at him?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Amy, Sure love bar jokes and the animals and people
that walk into a bar.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
The parrot walks into a bar on someone's shoulders, and
parrot goes, that's by pat.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
All right. Well, this one guy walks into a bar
and he says out.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
See nicely done. Yeah, magician walks down the street and
turns into a bar.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
All right, guys, and it's not even well it is Friday. No,
you're right, it is Friday. So we're gonna have a
good time. But we still have news to talk about,
so let's do it. Handle on the news with Amy
Neil and Me.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Lead story shut down.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, government shut down takes place midnight to night, and
government shut down doesn't mean the government shuts down completely
because you have air traffic controllers that are still working.
You've got so would be bad if they didn't. Yeah,
I know, it would be really bad. But they don't
get paid. They get warrants, they get iou they eventually
(07:01):
get paid.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
They do. We eventually get paid.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But it's really hard to go to the grocery store
and hand a governmental iou for that box of cornflakes.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You don't have to pay for things anymore. I watch
videos all the time shoplift you leave.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So we'll see what happens coming up seven o'clock and
explain what happened. And it is just another episode in
the power that Donald Trump has. He can tell he's
not a sitting president. He can tell Congress this is
the way you are going to vote, and they just
all stand up.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
This time around, not so much.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And Elon Musk, the kind of power Musk has, I mean,
come on, very strange. And Mike Johnson, who I don't
know if he's going to survive the vote in January
to remain speaker. It's really interesting stuff, to say the least.
And I'll talk more about that at seven o'clock. Is
(07:59):
there a lot of moving parts of this one.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Luigi's back in the Big City.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Luigi Mangioni, who is of course accused of murdering United
Healthcare's CEO in front of the Hilton Hotel in New
York City, waived extradition in Pennsylvania. That's where he was
arrested and was immediately flown back to New York City.
He was flown by plane and then by helicopter and
taken to court. He's now facing four new federal charges,
(08:27):
including murder, which could make him eligible for the death penalty.
He's also facing several state charges.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You know, he flew around that helicopter, did a tourist helicopter,
flew around the city and one last look, Yeah, you know,
around the Empire State Building the way you can do that.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Seven point.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm going to do a story because this one is
really interesting what happened because it's both FEDS in the
state getting involved, and the state and Alan Bragg the
DA were just stunned as to what happened last second.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Workers union representing more than ten thousand Starbucks baristas. Interesting
fact about the term baristas, there's no male version. Male
people are baristas as well. And are they baristas?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Are they striking because Starbucks coffee is so bad.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That they they they're tired of burning it? Yeah, So
the baristas said that the union members will go and
strike in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
How is it possible that you have a Starbucks on
one corner of the street and then kitty corner there's
another Starbucks and they do just fine, both of them.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You've been to Bethlehem, right, yeah, okay, so you know
how there's you're walking up this hill towards the church
that has apparently the birthplace right.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Now, the hundred and first Cavalry. No, that's where they are, No,
not Calgary.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So you're walking up this Across from the church is
a place called coffee shop called Star and Bucks, no joke,
Star and Bucks coffee in Bethlehem, all right, so they're
going on strike.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Is Biden, the new deporter in chief US Immigrations and
Customs Enforcement, kicked two hundred and seventy four hundred and
eighty four illegal immigrants out of the country in the
last fiscal year. That's the most deportation since twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, he kicked out more people than did Obama, who
kicked out more people than than did Donald Trump. But
here's the question. How many were there to kick out
for starters, and how many were coming in And so
when you have a huge influx coming in, there's just
(10:52):
more numbers to kick out.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
So it's you can do anything with statistics anything.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, they kicked out more. That's not statistic, that's just numbers. No,
I understand more bodies went out. No, I understand that,
but a little bit more nuanced.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
If there are that many more bodies to kick out,
then it is easy to kick out more people.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I mean, that is.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Kind of when you're talking about twenty million people. Attention,
here's the other you know what it has been. Here's
the other question that I have it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The number eleven million has been the number of illegal
aliens who are in this country for ten years.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Because it's inaccurate.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, how is it possible that two million are coming
in every year and it's still eleven million illegals here?
Oh no, I'm sorry. People are not illegal. Guns are
illegal or laws are illegal or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
No, people are not illegal. If coming here is legal,
they have illegal status. Yeah no, they're the un.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Undocumah, unhoused, undocumented, follicularly challenged.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
That's us. We're not bald.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Okay, FAA, no more drones. We're sick of you here
on the East coast. So the FAA plays and temporarily
banned flights over critical infrastructure sites in New York, in
New York State because you have this rash of reports
of drones everywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It is perfectly legal to fly drones. Well, perfectly legal.
The fly drones over not not near airports.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I do fly drones, I haven't. I do have one.
It has a tail number, it's registered, all of those things.
But I had to go through all of that to
be able to fly. Now I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What is restricted airspace? Where can you not fly above
four hundred feet? You can't fly. It won't let you fly.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
In their censor that you're supposed to keep active, that
will keep it from flying.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Can disarm those sensors probably.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh yeah, you can do anything electronic.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You just keep on talking and talking and talking about this,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
What do you mean about these drones droning on? Yeah? God,
I know you too. Well, that's scary. I can decipher
your stupid jokes before you ever say that. I know well,
I hate myself.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
We've been friends for thirty years.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I hate that too, That's what ye people hate me
here because I'm your friend.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Right, Oh, here's it, Amy, You do this and then
Neil has been talking about this forever.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
So do the headline here, and then we're going to
throw it to Neil to explain this a little bit.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Okay, so exactly what is healthy? The definition is changing.
The US Food and Drug Administration has finalized new standards
that foods have to meet to be labeled as healthy,
including limiteds on saturated fat, sodium added sugars. They also
have to have a certain amount of food from at
least one key food group like fruits, vegetables, or low
(14:03):
fant dairy. Some foods previously carrying a healthy label like
white bread whoever did that? And sweetened cereals and yogurts
will no longer qualify.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And they have to do this very quickly because the
FDA only has thirty one days more to exist.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You think he's gonna get just explode everything.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, I'm pushing this one.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
We don't know what healthy is, is the problem.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I know what healthy is, not, Neil, Yeah, I know
what I see it.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I will tell you The issue is something is nutritious
or not nutritious. But our problem with processed foods or
overly processed foods is that we put nutritious things in
a bed of non nutritial Right, So.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You can be nutritious, yes, and still have tons of
salt and tons of sugar.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And so getting their head wrapped around that, it's same
with natural. They put natural on things. Yeah, yeah, because
like peanut butter, is that nutritious? Well, it's it really
should be only two ingredients. Basically, it shouldn't have anything
else but peanuts and a little bit of salt. Yeah,
that's it. I've made it many, many times.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
It's really magical.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You put it in a blender or a quizinard or whatever,
throwing a bunch of peanuts and outcomes peanut butter. Yeah,
it's very it's a very David Copperfield thing. It's just
very strange.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, that's what magic is to you. Yeah, pretty much
making a nut pure.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
All right, let's go ahead and take a break and
we'll come back seven years. We'll come back free.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
De La voluntary recalls some LA's classic potato chips over
undeclared allergens. So this is one of those recalls that
it doesn't affect everybody, but if you have an allergy
or severe sense ofvity to milk, you run the risk
of serious or life threatening ellergic reactions. Then this would
be a problem.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, for this one batch. But milk in potato chips.
Tell me how the two connect.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I would imagine that it has something to do with
the processing that they might be around milk products. Otherwise,
I don't know either what you would use in this case.
I think it would be like if they process plants,
process many different things sometimes and it may have come
(16:34):
in contact one.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
All right, And just by the way, to help our
listeners in radio land, the recalled products bear a guaranteed
freight fresh data. February eleventh, five Yeah UPC code two
eighty four one hundred three one zero four to one
the lay's logo party size, and this is important. The
(16:56):
manufacturing codes six four six two three zero seven double
x or six four three three three zero seven xx.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Does that help? You're mocking it. There's not a lays
and you can find out which ones they are. You
hate giving people life saving information.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I do sure on Syrian soil.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Senior US officials have arrived in Damascus for the first
diplomatic mission to the Syrian capital since the fall of
Bashar al Assad last month. The US delegation is expected
to meet with members of the rebel group that overtook
the capital and is acting as the de facto government
in Syria.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And no one knows which way it's going to go now.
The leader of this group was labeled and still is
a terrorist by the US government and was part of
the entire terrorism anti Zionism, you know, blowing up American basis.
So now he has a country, or they have a
country to run, and he has become more moderate. And
(18:01):
what's going to be more important to them to govern
a country and be part of the world community or
just have a state sponsored terrorists organization?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
What's it?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Which way do they go on this? And they and
no one knows.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And that's why this US delegation is going over there
to talk to these guys to try to figure out something.
There's also a couple of Americans that were put in
jail by a SOD and so you know they're going
to talk about that too.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
California earthquake. The Free Earthquake Early Warning app is now
available for Mac computers and chromebooks, major expansion of access
for this warning system been available for years. Obviously on
cell phones, we've used it. The MyShake app, developed by
UC Berkeley, is one of the most popular ways to
(18:57):
receive those earthquake warnings.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, and I've got two of these, so I've got
my shake and what is it. I don't know keep
I keep my phone in my back pocket, so you know,
I always get.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
That little buzz I have a chocolate shake.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Uh huh, I said, see, I was going to go there.
And that was so stupid. That was so stupid.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I did not the way I do. No, I don't
know if you did it, it would have been stupid. Okay,
I do it all.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Right, Amy chef's kiss. Okay, Amy, you're up.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh fine, I'll go there.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
It's a modern day duel, and Ukraine's leader says it's
really dumb. So during a press conference he does a
yearly press conference, Russia's president Putin was talking about his
new nuclear capable ballistic missile that Russia recently fired at
Dnepro in Ukraine, and he said, let them propose some
(19:52):
kind of a technological experiment, a kind of high tech
duel of the twenty first century. And he said, let
them determin and meaning the Ukrainians, some target to be hit,
for example, in Kiev, and then we will strike there
and we will see what happens. Zelenski basically responded and
said people are dying and he thinks it's interesting, and
then called him a dumbass.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, that's terrific. And this way, I mean, it's getting
a little personal. And this is their hypersonic I think
missile that Russia has used once and.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
So we don't know a whole lot about it.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But if it's true, this thing is dangerous as hell
because it's impossible to stop. Well, ballistic missiles are impossible
to stop anyway, so why would you even go beyond that? Okay,
Russia neil a lot of Russia.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The United States voiced alarm recently at the United Nations
Security Council just on Wednesday that Russia was close to
accepting a nuclear armed North Korea. As Moscow and Pyongyang
defend their growing cooperation, they're becoming you by hands skipping
(21:02):
in the Lilians or whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And Russia was part of the world community, the industrialized
countries and others that wanted to keep North Korea from
having weapons nuclear weapons. Now, of course they have it,
so there's not much that can be done, although in
North Korea there's some limited technology. Do they have the
ability to launch a nuclear tipped missile ballistic missile in
(21:29):
the United States?
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Some say yes, some say no, And is it advanced enough?
But Russia says, yeah, perfectly acceptable.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Makes sense to us that you guys are now a
new nation that can blow up half the world. It's
scaring a lot of people and it's changing. So now
Russia has gotten very close to North Korea, which it
has not for a very long time. It was usually
China and North Korea who are really close. So they're
(21:58):
getting closer and it's all against the West. Russia has
drawn the line. There's no question.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Lyne in the sand. Okay, one more before we take
our last break.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
What's worse than fentanyl? Protenna tazine. It's a new synthetic
drug gets considered three times more powerful than fentanyl. It's
blamed on at least one death in Los Angeles last month.
Bill Bodner, a retired DEA agent, says the drug is
illegal in the United States. It was never approved by
(22:31):
the FDA, It has no medically accepted uses. It's just
a deadly drug.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I mean that's crazy that it's Well, how much do
you need in the tablet to kill someone?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Doesn't fentanyl? I mean you just need a schmidge of it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, now you need a quarter of a shmidge or
a third of a smidge and it's being brought in
from China. I mean, the world's gone nuts and dangerous.
Very It used to be that the bad guys would
bring in bales of marijuana.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
That was big news.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh, the good old days.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, the good old days.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Okay, what a sad story. A crowd crush of courses
is when you get a lot of people in one place.
Maybe it's not set up properly, whatever it is. This
was a funfair in southwest Nigeria and according to a
local radio station, they're the organizers of the event, identified
as the Women in Need of Guidance and Support or WING,
(23:36):
expected to host five thousand children under the age of
thirteen at the free event where they could win prizes
like scholarships. And something went awry and you have at
least thirty five children that were killed, six others, oh critically.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
In and think about this. It's a free event, you know,
for kids, and thirty five kids are killed because of
the crush.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Horrific.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You know, obviously not very well planned, you know, gridlock
at some point, but still, I mean, you look at
something like this, come on, thirty five kids. Also the
local radio station and how's that pronounced? A gidbug bogue FM. Amy,
(24:21):
you're better at this than I am.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I'm not even going to try that one.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
No, it's a tough one.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Yeah, Okay, do we own then? Only if only if
listenership is dropping like crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
But this is Yeah, the case has been transferred to
the homicide section, so something must have been done.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, it's I can't imagine it homicide as opposed to
just a horrible mistake and poorly planned and it's just
it's it really is a heartbreaker.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Lebron has slam dunked another record. Lebron James added most
minutes ever played during the regular season to his line
of career achievements. He surpassed Kareem Abdul Jabbar's record of
fifty and forty six minutes played during last night's game
against the Kings up in Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Hey, how is he playing? This is twenty two secrets,
twenty second season, and how old is he now?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
What? Sixty three, sixty four? And how is his quality
of play relative to what ten years ago? Can't be
the same, but has it dropped to the point where
he is just another player? He's still a premier player.
I don't know, Amy, or are you a basketball person? Oh, Kono,
are you a basketball person? I am?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's a better person to ask.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Okay, so Coono, would you answer that question.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
He's no longer the Lebron James, but he's still better
than about seventy five percent of the league.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
And I'm willing to bet that he's not worth the
money that he's getting paid at this point.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
No, it's more for the name that people want to
see a legend played.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Okay, he's thirty nine, by the way, and that's old.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I think was it Kareem abdul Jabbar, who was the
oldest player ever forty two something?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Got that in the NBA cono.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm being told by Sam that was Robert Parrish was
the oldest Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Older than Nat Hickey.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Are these people?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Was that like nineteen twenty five? You guys just making
up names? No, Amy's looking wait, I said, that can't
be older than Bilbo Baggin's.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
All right, let's move on. That's funny, alrighty.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
A recent study that recommended toxic chemicals in black plastic
should be immediately thrown out. I had so many questions
about this because a lot of these products were like
Batchela's or spoons.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I've got tons of about it.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, that are that are black in color. The concern
was over the fact that they were recycled television sets
that had fire retardants in them, and that became a problem. Well,
this peer reviewed journal that had this, that did this study,
apparently the math was wrong and so they were an
(27:16):
order of magnitude lower than the EP So they say
it's still a concern and they stand by their you know, study,
But the reality.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Is that no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Hey, I have a question saying I have a question.
I didn't know they're made out of television sets. But
if you pay a premium price for these products, you
more money for the real high end. Do you get
them without commercials? There's so many places you could have gone.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I know, so that I should have known when my
spatula said, do you want the forty four inch or
the fifty five inch Batchela something?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Anyway you slice it? Apple's a I got it wrong?
Did you get that?
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Bill?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
I said, Apple got it wrong? Oh got it? Yeah.
Now that's a little bit ob scure, but okay, all.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Right, major journalism bodies urging Apple to scrap its new
Generative AI feature because it said it created a misleading
headline about Luigi Mangioni. The AI powered summary made it
appear that BBC had published an article claiming that Mangioni,
he of course is accused of murdering the healthcare United
Healthcare CEO, had shot himself and he had not.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, so you've got this, uh, this call for Apple
to get rid of a genera AI feature because of.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
A headline they got wrong. Do I have that right
or is it? There are lots and lots of mistakes.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Well, you know what Rich and I were just talking
about this that when you when you do like chatbot
and that kind of stuff, it does get it wrong
a lot of time.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's not always correct, so you have to like fact
check the AI.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
But in the defense of AI, it's really just taking
the lead from all other news outlets.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And there's plenty of fake news out there. Yeah, I
mean plenty out there. Yeah, 'tis my point? Yep, all right, guys,
we are completely done. Now.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
This is KFI am money. You've been listening to the
Bill Handle Show. Catch My Show Monday through Friday six
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Am to nine am, and anytime on demand on the
iHeartRadio app,
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I have been on and it's going to turn out
that he died of food poising.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh, you can't say.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
That it's not true.
Speaker 5 (00:20):
Are they advertisers?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
It doesn't matter, you can't. Isn't there some legal issue there?
Speaker 5 (00:25):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
And now handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's
Bill Handle.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Kf I am six forty handle here, Kno, did that
go over the air?
Speaker 5 (00:45):
What part any part that?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
No, your mic was not on, Sir.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
Mike on this side wasn't on.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
We were Neil and I and and we're talking about
basically management philosophy here, you know, and no, I.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Was talking about you your philosophy.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, and in general, how you know how stations are run,
you know, relative to how much they cost, how much
they bring in? It's you know, let me tell you
and folks, this is not a secret. This is a business.
And you've heard that phrase show business. Is the reason
that the word business is in the phrase show business.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
And so we were discussing.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Income and revenue and which is the same and the
cost of and I come in from a business person's perspective,
So I look at it as as a business person.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So yeah, well you're expensive.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Well that's that's irrelevant.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, we can do the show without you.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Hard to do the bill Handle show? No bill Handle.
But by the way, that is, do they make more
money with a Neil Savadra show than they do with
a bill Handle show?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
And if they, if they're doing them, go to and.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Let us know, Oh yes, yes, Or let's do a
dollar a hauler back in those days.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
God, I'd love to do that, wouldn't you do it?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
No one cares to take take whatever inventory has left
during the times when there are when not other commercials
were sold, which happens to every news outlet, every entertainment outlet,
and use those commercials that commercial time for all right,
what are you selling, folks? And we'll do a barter.
(02:37):
And I used to do that. I got some chicken
wire I have.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I remember radio radio quite well.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I have an earthworm farm.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
These are real calls that came in And then I
would go, does anybody need earthworms? What would you need
earthworms for? For gardens? If you are a fanatic gardener, you.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Cat to use them as bait. I'm just saying.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Depend depending on your ethnicity. Can you use them as food? Earthworms?
Matter of fact, you can.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Who eats earthworms?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Well, a lot of cultures eat crickets and grasshoppers.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Yeah, grasshoppers fry them.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, if you go to wahawk in restaurants, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Mexican restaurants do that. Also in Asia they do that.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Oh yeah, we are way behind in the West when
it comes to uh uh protein coming from I don't
know if I use way behind, but you're right, we are.
There was it, you can go, you can trace it
back and you can see where it was. It was
the norm, and then we split off from it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And is it because they're so tasty and wonderful or
is it because other forms of protein simply are too
expensive and.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
They they're easy to raise. You can raise them and
they're super super sustained bowl and the protein is damn
near exact, pretty close to meat protein.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
No, it is it and uses less water, less resources.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Of cultural I understand that that it will happen.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
What we do is producing the sheep and cows is
insanely expensive in terms of water, in terms of land
for uh for fodder.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
And as far as bacteria and viruses, and things like
that much more prevalent.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
So anyway, are we going to get there? We might?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Well, you know how long it took for us to
adapt to sushi, almost thirty years in the United States,
almost thirty years for us to adapt get over the
ick factor of sushi.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Well, I originally and I love so do I and
I've just recently stopped asking for it. Well done, Amy Stock.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Laugh at that.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
That's Christmas.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
Yeah, she's given gifts.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
The gift of laughter is a gift.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Of Bill, You're funny. That's a mercy stop no mercy.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Laugh.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I appreciate that. All right, we acknowledged mercy. Neil and
I have already started. And good morning, Good morning Amy,
Hi Bill?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Uh to a rabbi, a jew, and a kangaroo walk
into a bar, all right, cono, good morning, good morning,
all right, the whole crowd.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
By the way, I wasn't a joke. I just threw
that in there. Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know, horse walks in man, you have a long face. Okay,
there's lots of those.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
My favorite bar joke is a grasshopper walks into a
bar and the bartender goes, hey, we have a drink
named after you, and the grasshopper says, you have a
drink named Harold no one.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I oh you laugh at him?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Amy, Sure love bar jokes and the animals and people
that walk into a bar.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
All right.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
The parrot walks into a bar on someone's shoulders, and
parrot goes, that's by pat.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
All right. Well, this one guy walks into a bar
and he says out.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
See nicely done. Yeah, magician walks down the street and
turns into a bar.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
All right, guys, and it's not even well it is Friday. No,
you're right, it is Friday. So we're gonna have a
good time. But we still have news to talk about,
so let's do it. Handle on the news with Amy
Neil and Me.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Lead story shut down.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Well, government shut down takes place midnight to night, and
government shut down doesn't mean the government shuts down completely
because you have air traffic controllers that are still working.
You've got so would be bad if they didn't. Yeah,
I know, it would be really bad. But they don't
get paid. They get warrants, they get iou they eventually
(07:01):
get paid.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
They do. We eventually get paid.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
But it's really hard to go to the grocery store
and hand a governmental iou for that box of cornflakes.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
You don't have to pay for things anymore. I watch
videos all the time shoplift you leave.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So we'll see what happens coming up seven o'clock and
explain what happened. And it is just another episode in
the power that Donald Trump has. He can tell he's
not a sitting president. He can tell Congress this is
the way you are going to vote, and they just
all stand up.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
This time around, not so much.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And Elon Musk, the kind of power Musk has, I mean,
come on, very strange. And Mike Johnson, who I don't
know if he's going to survive the vote in January
to remain speaker. It's really interesting stuff, to say the least.
And I'll talk more about that at seven o'clock. Is
(07:59):
there a lot of moving parts of this one.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Luigi's back in the Big City.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
Luigi Mangioni, who is of course accused of murdering United
Healthcare's CEO in front of the Hilton Hotel in New
York City, waived extradition in Pennsylvania. That's where he was
arrested and was immediately flown back to New York City.
He was flown by plane and then by helicopter and
taken to court. He's now facing four new federal charges,
(08:27):
including murder, which could make him eligible for the death penalty.
He's also facing several state charges.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You know, he flew around that helicopter, did a tourist helicopter,
flew around the city and one last look, Yeah, you know,
around the Empire State Building the way you can do that.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Seven point.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm going to do a story because this one is
really interesting what happened because it's both FEDS in the
state getting involved, and the state and Alan Bragg the
DA were just stunned as to what happened last second.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Workers union representing more than ten thousand Starbucks baristas. Interesting
fact about the term baristas, there's no male version. Male
people are baristas as well. And are they baristas?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Are they striking because Starbucks coffee is so bad.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That they they they're tired of burning it? Yeah, So
the baristas said that the union members will go and
strike in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle this morning.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
How is it possible that you have a Starbucks on
one corner of the street and then kitty corner there's
another Starbucks and they do just fine, both of them.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You've been to Bethlehem, right, yeah, okay, so you know
how there's you're walking up this hill towards the church
that has apparently the birthplace right.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Now, the hundred and first Cavalry. No, that's where they are, No,
not Calgary.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So you're walking up this Across from the church is
a place called coffee shop called Star and Bucks, no joke,
Star and Bucks coffee in Bethlehem, all right, so they're
going on strike.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Is Biden, the new deporter in chief US Immigrations and
Customs Enforcement, kicked two hundred and seventy four hundred and
eighty four illegal immigrants out of the country in the
last fiscal year. That's the most deportation since twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah, he kicked out more people than did Obama, who
kicked out more people than than did Donald Trump. But
here's the question. How many were there to kick out
for starters, and how many were coming in And so
when you have a huge influx coming in, there's just
(10:52):
more numbers to kick out.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
So it's you can do anything with statistics anything.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, they kicked out more. That's not statistic, that's just numbers. No,
I understand more bodies went out. No, I understand that,
but a little bit more nuanced.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
If there are that many more bodies to kick out,
then it is easy to kick out more people.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
I mean, that is.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Kind of when you're talking about twenty million people. Attention,
here's the other you know what it has been. Here's
the other question that I have it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The number eleven million has been the number of illegal
aliens who are in this country for ten years.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Because it's inaccurate.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, how is it possible that two million are coming
in every year and it's still eleven million illegals here?
Oh no, I'm sorry. People are not illegal. Guns are
illegal or laws are illegal or whatever.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
No, people are not illegal. If coming here is legal,
they have illegal status. Yeah no, they're the un.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Undocumah, unhoused, undocumented, follicularly challenged.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
That's us. We're not bald.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Okay, FAA, no more drones. We're sick of you here
on the East coast. So the FAA plays and temporarily
banned flights over critical infrastructure sites in New York, in
New York State because you have this rash of reports
of drones everywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It is perfectly legal to fly drones. Well, perfectly legal.
The fly drones over not not near airports.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I do fly drones, I haven't. I do have one.
It has a tail number, it's registered, all of those things.
But I had to go through all of that to
be able to fly. Now I can't.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
What is restricted airspace? Where can you not fly above
four hundred feet? You can't fly. It won't let you fly.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
In their censor that you're supposed to keep active, that
will keep it from flying.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Can disarm those sensors probably.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Oh yeah, you can do anything electronic.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
You just keep on talking and talking and talking about this,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
What do you mean about these drones droning on? Yeah? God,
I know you too. Well, that's scary. I can decipher
your stupid jokes before you ever say that. I know well,
I hate myself.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
We've been friends for thirty years.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I hate that too, That's what ye people hate me
here because I'm your friend.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Right, Oh, here's it, Amy, You do this and then
Neil has been talking about this forever.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
So do the headline here, and then we're going to
throw it to Neil to explain this a little bit.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Okay, so exactly what is healthy? The definition is changing.
The US Food and Drug Administration has finalized new standards
that foods have to meet to be labeled as healthy,
including limiteds on saturated fat, sodium added sugars. They also
have to have a certain amount of food from at
least one key food group like fruits, vegetables, or low
(14:03):
fant dairy. Some foods previously carrying a healthy label like
white bread whoever did that? And sweetened cereals and yogurts
will no longer qualify.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
And they have to do this very quickly because the
FDA only has thirty one days more to exist.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
You think he's gonna get just explode everything.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, I'm pushing this one.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
We don't know what healthy is, is the problem.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I know what healthy is, not, Neil, Yeah, I know
what I see it.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I will tell you The issue is something is nutritious
or not nutritious. But our problem with processed foods or
overly processed foods is that we put nutritious things in
a bed of non nutritial Right, So.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You can be nutritious, yes, and still have tons of
salt and tons of sugar.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And so getting their head wrapped around that, it's same
with natural. They put natural on things. Yeah, yeah, because
like peanut butter, is that nutritious? Well, it's it really
should be only two ingredients. Basically, it shouldn't have anything
else but peanuts and a little bit of salt. Yeah,
that's it. I've made it many, many times.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
It's really magical.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
You put it in a blender or a quizinard or whatever,
throwing a bunch of peanuts and outcomes peanut butter. Yeah,
it's very it's a very David Copperfield thing. It's just
very strange.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Yeah, that's what magic is to you. Yeah, pretty much
making a nut pure.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
All right, let's go ahead and take a break and
we'll come back seven years. We'll come back free.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
De La voluntary recalls some LA's classic potato chips over
undeclared allergens. So this is one of those recalls that
it doesn't affect everybody, but if you have an allergy
or severe sense ofvity to milk, you run the risk
of serious or life threatening ellergic reactions. Then this would
be a problem.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, for this one batch. But milk in potato chips.
Tell me how the two connect.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I would imagine that it has something to do with
the processing that they might be around milk products. Otherwise,
I don't know either what you would use in this case.
I think it would be like if they process plants,
process many different things sometimes and it may have come
(16:34):
in contact one.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
All right, And just by the way, to help our
listeners in radio land, the recalled products bear a guaranteed
freight fresh data. February eleventh, five Yeah UPC code two
eighty four one hundred three one zero four to one
the lay's logo party size, and this is important. The
(16:56):
manufacturing codes six four six two three zero seven double
x or six four three three three zero seven xx.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Does that help? You're mocking it. There's not a lays
and you can find out which ones they are. You
hate giving people life saving information.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I do sure on Syrian soil.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
Senior US officials have arrived in Damascus for the first
diplomatic mission to the Syrian capital since the fall of
Bashar al Assad last month. The US delegation is expected
to meet with members of the rebel group that overtook
the capital and is acting as the de facto government
in Syria.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
And no one knows which way it's going to go now.
The leader of this group was labeled and still is
a terrorist by the US government and was part of
the entire terrorism anti Zionism, you know, blowing up American basis.
So now he has a country, or they have a
country to run, and he has become more moderate. And
(18:01):
what's going to be more important to them to govern
a country and be part of the world community or
just have a state sponsored terrorists organization?
Speaker 3 (18:13):
What's it?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Which way do they go on this? And they and
no one knows.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And that's why this US delegation is going over there
to talk to these guys to try to figure out something.
There's also a couple of Americans that were put in
jail by a SOD and so you know they're going
to talk about that too.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
It's really interesting.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
California earthquake. The Free Earthquake Early Warning app is now
available for Mac computers and chromebooks, major expansion of access
for this warning system been available for years. Obviously on
cell phones, we've used it. The MyShake app, developed by
UC Berkeley, is one of the most popular ways to
(18:57):
receive those earthquake warnings.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Yeah, and I've got two of these, so I've got
my shake and what is it. I don't know keep
I keep my phone in my back pocket, so you know,
I always get.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
That little buzz I have a chocolate shake.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Uh huh, I said, see, I was going to go there.
And that was so stupid. That was so stupid.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
I did not the way I do. No, I don't
know if you did it, it would have been stupid. Okay,
I do it all.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Right, Amy chef's kiss. Okay, Amy, you're up.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Oh fine, I'll go there.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (19:31):
It's a modern day duel, and Ukraine's leader says it's
really dumb. So during a press conference he does a
yearly press conference, Russia's president Putin was talking about his
new nuclear capable ballistic missile that Russia recently fired at
Dnepro in Ukraine, and he said, let them propose some
(19:52):
kind of a technological experiment, a kind of high tech
duel of the twenty first century. And he said, let
them determin and meaning the Ukrainians, some target to be hit,
for example, in Kiev, and then we will strike there
and we will see what happens. Zelenski basically responded and
said people are dying and he thinks it's interesting, and
then called him a dumbass.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, that's terrific. And this way, I mean, it's getting
a little personal. And this is their hypersonic I think
missile that Russia has used once and.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
So we don't know a whole lot about it.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But if it's true, this thing is dangerous as hell
because it's impossible to stop. Well, ballistic missiles are impossible
to stop anyway, so why would you even go beyond that? Okay,
Russia neil a lot of Russia.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The United States voiced alarm recently at the United Nations
Security Council just on Wednesday that Russia was close to
accepting a nuclear armed North Korea. As Moscow and Pyongyang
defend their growing cooperation, they're becoming you by hands skipping
(21:02):
in the Lilians or whatever.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And Russia was part of the world community, the industrialized
countries and others that wanted to keep North Korea from
having weapons nuclear weapons. Now, of course they have it,
so there's not much that can be done, although in
North Korea there's some limited technology. Do they have the
ability to launch a nuclear tipped missile ballistic missile in
(21:29):
the United States?
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Some say yes, some say no, And is it advanced enough?
But Russia says, yeah, perfectly acceptable.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Makes sense to us that you guys are now a
new nation that can blow up half the world. It's
scaring a lot of people and it's changing. So now
Russia has gotten very close to North Korea, which it
has not for a very long time. It was usually
China and North Korea who are really close. So they're
(21:58):
getting closer and it's all against the West. Russia has
drawn the line. There's no question.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Lyne in the sand. Okay, one more before we take
our last break.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
What's worse than fentanyl? Protenna tazine. It's a new synthetic
drug gets considered three times more powerful than fentanyl. It's
blamed on at least one death in Los Angeles last month.
Bill Bodner, a retired DEA agent, says the drug is
illegal in the United States. It was never approved by
(22:31):
the FDA, It has no medically accepted uses. It's just
a deadly drug.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I mean that's crazy that it's Well, how much do
you need in the tablet to kill someone?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Doesn't fentanyl? I mean you just need a schmidge of it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Yeah, now you need a quarter of a shmidge or
a third of a smidge and it's being brought in
from China. I mean, the world's gone nuts and dangerous.
Very It used to be that the bad guys would
bring in bales of marijuana.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
That was big news.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh, the good old days.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, the good old days.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Okay, what a sad story. A crowd crush of courses
is when you get a lot of people in one place.
Maybe it's not set up properly, whatever it is. This
was a funfair in southwest Nigeria and according to a
local radio station, they're the organizers of the event, identified
as the Women in Need of Guidance and Support or WING,
(23:36):
expected to host five thousand children under the age of
thirteen at the free event where they could win prizes
like scholarships. And something went awry and you have at
least thirty five children that were killed, six others, oh critically.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
In and think about this. It's a free event, you know,
for kids, and thirty five kids are killed because of
the crush.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Horrific.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
You know, obviously not very well planned, you know, gridlock
at some point, but still, I mean, you look at
something like this, come on, thirty five kids. Also the
local radio station and how's that pronounced? A gidbug bogue FM. Amy,
(24:21):
you're better at this than I am.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I'm not even going to try that one.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
No, it's a tough one.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Yeah, Okay, do we own then? Only if only if
listenership is dropping like crazy.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
But this is Yeah, the case has been transferred to
the homicide section, so something must have been done.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Yeah, it's I can't imagine it homicide as opposed to
just a horrible mistake and poorly planned and it's just
it's it really is a heartbreaker.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Lebron has slam dunked another record. Lebron James added most
minutes ever played during the regular season to his line
of career achievements. He surpassed Kareem Abdul Jabbar's record of
fifty and forty six minutes played during last night's game
against the Kings up in Sacramento.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Hey, how is he playing? This is twenty two secrets,
twenty second season, and how old is he now?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
What? Sixty three, sixty four? And how is his quality
of play relative to what ten years ago? Can't be
the same, but has it dropped to the point where
he is just another player? He's still a premier player.
I don't know, Amy, or are you a basketball person? Oh, Kono,
are you a basketball person? I am?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
It's a better person to ask.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Okay, so Coono, would you answer that question.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
He's no longer the Lebron James, but he's still better
than about seventy five percent of the league.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
And I'm willing to bet that he's not worth the
money that he's getting paid at this point.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
No, it's more for the name that people want to
see a legend played.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Okay, he's thirty nine, by the way, and that's old.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I think was it Kareem abdul Jabbar, who was the
oldest player ever forty two something?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Got that in the NBA cono.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm being told by Sam that was Robert Parrish was
the oldest Okay.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Older than Nat Hickey.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Are these people?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Was that like nineteen twenty five? You guys just making
up names? No, Amy's looking wait, I said, that can't
be older than Bilbo Baggin's.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
All right, let's move on. That's funny, alrighty.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
A recent study that recommended toxic chemicals in black plastic
should be immediately thrown out. I had so many questions
about this because a lot of these products were like
Batchela's or spoons.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I've got tons of about it.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Yeah, that are that are black in color. The concern
was over the fact that they were recycled television sets
that had fire retardants in them, and that became a problem. Well,
this peer reviewed journal that had this, that did this study,
apparently the math was wrong and so they were an
(27:16):
order of magnitude lower than the EP So they say
it's still a concern and they stand by their you know, study,
But the reality.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Is that no, it's not.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Hey, I have a question saying I have a question.
I didn't know they're made out of television sets. But
if you pay a premium price for these products, you
more money for the real high end. Do you get
them without commercials? There's so many places you could have gone.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I know, so that I should have known when my
spatula said, do you want the forty four inch or
the fifty five inch Batchela something?
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Anyway you slice it? Apple's a I got it wrong?
Did you get that?
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Bill?
Speaker 5 (28:05):
I said, Apple got it wrong? Oh got it? Yeah.
Now that's a little bit ob scure, but okay, all.
Speaker 6 (28:11):
Right, major journalism bodies urging Apple to scrap its new
Generative AI feature because it said it created a misleading
headline about Luigi Mangioni. The AI powered summary made it
appear that BBC had published an article claiming that Mangioni,
he of course is accused of murdering the healthcare United
Healthcare CEO, had shot himself and he had not.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah, so you've got this, uh, this call for Apple
to get rid of a genera AI feature because of.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
A headline they got wrong. Do I have that right
or is it? There are lots and lots of mistakes.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Well, you know what Rich and I were just talking
about this that when you when you do like chatbot
and that kind of stuff, it does get it wrong
a lot of time.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
It's not always correct, so you have to like fact
check the AI.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
But in the defense of AI, it's really just taking
the lead from all other news outlets.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
And there's plenty of fake news out there. Yeah, I
mean plenty out there. Yeah, 'tis my point? Yep, all right, guys,
we are completely done. Now.
