You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
KFI AM six forty Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Here. It is a Monday morning, February tenth, and we well,
we got a lot to talk about today. First of all,
real quickly. On Friday, we always do ask Handle anything.
It's our new segment. It's just great fun. You asked
me a question, you record a question kneeling in, check
out which question, and then they play it here on
(00:28):
the air and I answer, and it's generally pretty stupid
stuff and it's a lot of fun. So if you
would like to and we would appreciate it, go to
the iHeart app. During the course of the show, click
on KFI right hand corner. There is a right upper
right hand corner microphone. Click on that fifteen seconds. Ask
me anything, don't give me your opinion about anything. Also
(00:49):
a quick one about Donald Trump. Amy just reported that
the paper straws. Trump wants to undo those, the mandatory
paper straws.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
He is absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
If you have ever had paper straws, they deliver paper
straws and I always say I didn't order oatmeal, and
the waitress male or female person goes, oh no, these
are paper straws.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Kay, thank you that twice?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Is that twice today that you've said.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I've agreed with from twice today on the penny and
the paper straws.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Wow, that's well, it's not big picture tariffs and everything else,
but paper straws and pennies.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You got it? Okay, large scale immigration is coming to LA.
How do we know that?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
There is a leaked document and the Feds are going
to come here before the end of February.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's going to be spearheaded by ICE.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Will focus on people who do not have legal status
in the country. Wait a minute, isn't that everybody who
is an illegal migrant. Yeah, it's gonna focus on everybody
or have penning orders removal. That is no problem being
and this is being circulated among the federal law enforcement folks.
(02:05):
Immigration operations have ramped up across the country, not in LA,
and LA was one of the biggest attacks of Trump
before he was elected. Now there's going.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
To be a lot of people picked up. So you've
got ICE and agents with the FBI and the DEA
are going to be there.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The official who leaked it said, we need more bodies
to pick people up. Now, as of right now, I
don't think they've picked up anybody who is simply illegal.
I think that they have limited to felons those are
accused or been arrested for pretty heinous act acts.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But we know, we're.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Told they've admitted they're going to be people that are
be swept up quote collateral damage, and even.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The fear that legal residents are going to be pick up.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay, so far Mexican national convicted of lute or lacibius
acts with a child under fourteen, of course, no one
has a problem of that. Another one wanted for murder
in Mexico, Yeah, problem, a woman convicted of d.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
D UI.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, okay, And then there was a Venezuelan gang member.
And you've got where we have a whole lot of
people who are being considered being targeted. And we'll see
how far it goes because at some point, I mean,
Trump has said he wants eleven million people deported.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now, how do you do that? Clearly you can't.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Right now, they have flown several hundred to Guatemala to Venezuela,
So those are in the hundreds and the cost of
a charter plane, in some cases military aircraft what do
you think a charter plane costs to go from here
to Guatemala? Right? Hundreds of thousands of dollars per flight?
(04:14):
I mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you're talking
about a plane that can fit two hundred and three
hundred people. How do you do that for eleven million
people without sucking up.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
A huge part of our national budget? You can't. So
how practical is this?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I don't even know how practical it is to pick
up the criminals. I mean, have you looked at some
of these raids. There are dozens of agents who.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Pick up a person that they have investigated.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So not only do you have the cost of transporting,
but if you're going to pick up any sizable portion
of those eleven million people has been promised all right,
now you're talking about how many tens of thousands, if
not more agents involved. Not very practical, but a point
is being made. Trump has promised that in his campaign.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He was elected for that.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
There's certain things I don't think President Trump really cares about.
He cares about foreign relations a lot, and he cares
very deeply about the immigration issue. I don't think this
was simply a political ploy to get erected to get
erected to get elected. Nicely, said Bill, I don't believe
(05:35):
that this was simply a much like abortion. I don't
think he cares about abortion. I don't think he cares
about the First Amendment. I don't think cares about the
political aspirations or the political views of evangelicals.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't think any of that really matters to him.
That was to get elected, not immigration.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I think he genuinely believes that that is an issue.
He was elected on that issue, and he has to
act on that issue for sure. Super Bowl yesterday, the
Philadelphia Eagles were obviously playing a high school team out
of Kansas City, and it turned out to be well,
(06:16):
a complete wipeout and just everybody, even to the point
where every time the huddle Mahomes had a huddle, he
would make a call and he actually asked the defense
on Philadelphia side to sack him. And it got to
(06:36):
be that point. Didn't one of the players have six sacks?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It was crazy? If I'm not mistaken. Okay, maybe that
was an entire team, but let's yeah, it was. So
let's move on with the commercials because this year, strangely enough,
the commercials are back, and how are they back?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, we go back to celebrity, I mean all through him.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It seems like everybody who had a sag card I
had a commercial, huge names, and it turns out that
I guess they needed the money because people get paid
big time for commercials. So let's go ahead and go
through the list. I don't see Neil, by the way,
I don't know where he is. But Amy, let's start
(07:22):
with you. Okay, favorite commercials?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
All right, you had worst?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Okay, So my favorite, I think was one I didn't
actually see till this morning, and that was the Rocket mortgage,
which they everybody was singing take Me Home, Country.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Roads, and yeah, that was kind of neat.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, it was just like kind of uplifting. And then
my most cringe worthy was the Mountain Dew commercial about
Seal where Seal is singing his song and it's he
is his face is like morphed into a seal and
it's just creepy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I thought, Yeah, that was creepy.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I mean, I don't know who thought of that, because
that was really bizarre. For those of you that haven't
seen or are not aware of the commercials, that you
can go on the online and see these commercials.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That was a weird one.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Martha Stewart I thought was kind of neat where she
was dancing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It was clearly AI.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And one of the things you noticed there was no
solid nostalogia. There was comedy, celebrities and coming out of
your earballs, patriotism, humanism. Some of them were vomitous that
they were so cloying. The Budweiser commercial and this year
Space topped out at eight dollars per thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That was early on. By the way, those.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
People got or those companies got a great deal. Those
companies that bought fourth Quarter I think got screwed. And
we don't have the numbers yet as far as how
many people bailed out. What do you think of the
Uber Eats commercial A Century of Cravings? Matthew McConaughey, who
was in half the commercials, okay, so much for that.
(09:11):
Uh Duncan's the bean method. That was pretty bizarre, wasn't it.
Ben Aflack was all through that. Why do these guys
all have beards? By the way, have you noticed that
all these celebrities matt Damon A Flack, I mean they
all had beards.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
They all got him during COVID and then they went, hey,
I like him.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Uh yeah, I'll tell you the one I really liked,
and that is Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan recreating the
scene in that restaurant in which she has an orgasm
in the film, and she again has her orgasm, but
this time eating a sandwich with I think.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Mayonnaise on it, Helman's mayonnaise.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Hellman's mayonnaise, said, and they and she has that orgasm,
and she does a great fake orgasm.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Maybe it was real. I have no idea. Maybe she
every time she eats.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The sandwich mayonnaise on it, she does orgasm. I don't know,
but it's exactly the same. The waitress. It is a
waitress's time. A female waitress goes to the table next
to her. They're taking the order, and the gal says,
I'll have what she's having.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Billy Crystal a beard? Meg Ryan? Does she have a beard?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Not that I noticed.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I didn't notice, So that was kind of a neat one.
Let me see what else. Oh, Harrison Ford didn't have
a beard, but he was hoaring jeeps, which I thought
was eh, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That was go daddy the act like you know commercial
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
What did you think of the Instacart commercial. Did you
see that one where like all these different product brands
are running down Yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
They're running down the street, and you get they've done
that before, but this one was just for the Super Bowl,
and you had.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The kool Aid kid, the kool Aid what do you
call it?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
The picture going down there and the michelin Man and yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I think it was effective. I didn't like the ad,
but I remember that it was Instacart and that's kind
of the goal, right.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, and I think it worked. Then you had Damon,
Matt Damon, two characters Stella Artois and David and Dave
the other David that was Dave Beckham. And who else
was in there? Dave Beckham and.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
His brother, his long lost brother. Was that Matt Damon?
I think it was just Neil. We have about one
second your favorite commercial.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Honestly, I didn't watch the game. Okay, care about the
and the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
One, and this is of course with Eugene Levy.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The mustage or his was the eyebrows that flew around,
and then Pringles was the mustache that flew around and
landed on people and went back effective.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, because I never noticed that Pringles.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Has a mustache in.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The logo never pay attention.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Now I do a big part of it for a
long time, sir, Yeah, I just noticed it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Okay, probably my absolute favorite weirdest commercial that maybe forever.
Kanye West totally outdid himself as being well Kanye West. Amy,
let's go through some of the facts on this one.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
So the commercial ran and it showed Kanye and appeared
to be in a dentist chair and he had something
hallick over his head. I'm guessing that was Dennis Materials,
although I thought it looked like one of those you know,
tin helmets, but that was me. And he said, what's up, guys,
I spent like all the money put a commercial on
(13:15):
these new teeth and he's got these glittering white teeth
with what looks like kind of looks like he had
fangs put in or something. So once again, I had
to shoot it on the iPhone and it looks like
it's on an iPhone. It's a vertical ad. And then
he stammered, go to yezy dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
That was a whole commercials and it was it was
done as if someone just threw a camera in front
of him and go for it unedited, very amateurish. Now,
the big issue is the swastika on the T shirt,
and pointed out this morning that they ran that ad. Right,
swastika on a T shirt is the merch he's selling.
(13:57):
Can you imagine someone companies selling a sheet sheet and
a hood.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Right, would the NFL run that or a burning cross? Would?
Would the NFL say sell that? Of course not. Now
the argument is he has a right to say whatever
he wants.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I doesn't have the right to obviously buy NFL spots
if he if the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Says no or the network says no.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But it's very interesting that for some reason they let
that through and unless they didn't know, but how could
you not know? Did someone in the NFL not go
to his website?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Was it was it? Maybe a local?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, it was a local, But what difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But the NFL doesn't control that.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
No, that's true, this would be you're right, this would
be Channel eleven. You're right, local affiliate and the local
affiliate Channel eleven. But the same argument goes and I
apologize to the NFL because you're right, I'm accusing the
wrong organization. The right organization is the Fox affiliate. The
NFL was covered, was broadcast by Fox Channel eleven. Somebody
(15:13):
ran that ad. It was just so bizarre. I just
didn't get it. And you know, it's been a TMZ
says it was seven million dollars to run the ad.
That's impossible, and we can't get any figure. It's a
local spot. How could a local spot be eleven million?
I mean, yeah, I mean what seven million dollars when
(15:36):
you could buy a national spot for seven million dollars
and one of the premier parts of the game, I mean,
the most was eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I'm assuming seven million dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Was much better than the last commercial, which I don't
know how many people watched, and we don't have amy.
Do we have any numbers as to number one, how
many people watched. We know at the beginning of game
we're going to get x numbers. But at the end
of the game, third quarter, when the score was about
one hundred and thirty to four in favor of Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah. I asked ABC's Jim Ryan about that today during
wake up call, and he said that we won't get
those numbers until probably tomorrow. It takes a couple of
days before we get them, so we don't know. But
he was saying too, they're expecting a huge drop off, Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Huge people. And how many people left?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
President Trump, who was there left, although Eagles fans stayed
because of the Vince Lombardi Trophy?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And how does it feel?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Isn't this wonderful couple of good moments where some of
the players were crying, and particularly Patrick Mahomes, he was
crying for a different reason than the players on Philadelphia anyway,
So a lot of interesting stuff happened in this Super
Bowl Now story and the Wall Street Journal about Disney.
(17:07):
Disneyland opened in nineteen fifty five, I think of July seventeenth,
and it cost a dollar for adults and fifty cents
for kids. If you adjust for inflation, that's eleven dollars
to get into the park today. Now, granted, nineteen fifty five,
they had relatively few rides, didn't have the food, didn't
(17:28):
have the big, massive rides. So there's an argument there,
how expensive is it to go to Disneyland. Well, first
of all, surveys have been done and Disney is one
of the most expensive places on the planet for Americans,
but family vacations, visitors keep streaming in, except it has
(17:54):
slowed down big time.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Maybe they hit critical mass.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
As I've often joke, whenever there's a problem where Disney,
there's a dip in attendance, all they do is raise
their price is forty dollars, and all of a sudden,
that does it, and they increase prices. One day, adult
passes broke the two hundred dollars mark for the first time.
Remember the fast pass skip the line that was three
(18:20):
five years ago. Now the best one is four hundred
and forty nine dollars per day. So a family four
that wants to skip lines, that's only nineteen hundred dollars,
not counting entrance. So let me now go to our
Disney fanatics. Neil is giving me a strange look, and
(18:43):
somehow you are going to defend these insane prices that
Disney is charging.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Well, I'm gonna say, value wise, they're still valuable, and
that's all I care about, you know. Walt Disney was
quoted as saying he didn't care about people complaining about
the price going in. He complained he cared what they
felt when they left, And really that has to do
with the experience itself. I still feel the value. It's clean,
(19:15):
the vibe in there takes you away from everything else.
If you were to go to a movie and pay
for popcorn, all those things for a two hour movie,
you can say that you're getting more at Disneyland than
you are there. Yeah, you would go to three hundred.
No one goes to movies. No one goes to movies.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Two expense dollars for a concert or play or anything
like that. Super Bowl four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I understand, but those are we don't we say it's
insanely expensive. Super Bowl tickets at four thousand dollars for
those bleed seats. Amy, do you think these prices are value?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I think the price I mean, the prices are high.
But I agree with Neil. It is the experience and
you can go and be there if you want. If
you want to go at rope Drop and be there
from eight o'clock in the morning until midnight, I mean
you can. It's sixteen hours. Yeah, but it's a whole
different world. Yes, a lot of people do.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Considering what you get for Disney at its best, is
there a critical mass for you three hundred dollars a
day for uh Disney.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I'll let you get it. Yeah, we are both pass holders.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Right, and the pass holders have gone up to if
you're doing Tier one fourteen hundred dollars per and you
have to do Tier one now, so you're spending eleven
hundred dollars, right.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I don't do Tier one anymore because.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
You're spending eleven hundred dollars. Right, So you have blackout dates.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't have the time to tire as much.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
But but and I do have Tier one because I
can only go on weekends.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, so you have to be able to go.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, there's okay.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Here's the other thing that I want to point out,
and the reason I haven't gone in years and years
and being no one making you know, I am misunderstood
all the time. I hate Disney I don't I love Disneyland.
It is two issues. The price I think is beyond
what I think is value.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And to the crowds. The crowds drive me nuts.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Where if you go and you don't have the ability
to pay for fast pass, you can wait an hour
an hour and a half for a three minute ride.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But they're so good.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Oh yeah, I've never I'll be ond, I have never
waited an hour and a half to go on anything
at Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
What's the longest you've ever waited?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I think we top out at about fifty minutes five zero.
I've never And I will tell you things like Indiana
Jones will say forty five minutes, and it's always like
thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So when Amy reports that it's people wait to hour
and a half, it's just not true.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
They always saying that some people can. We don't go
on those rides that day. We being a pass holder,
we can pick and choose and so some days, okay,
I went there with there on a day date with
my wife the other day last year.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I understand that because you use it a lot. So
how about a family. How about a family of.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Four coming in from Kansas.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
So what you do is you use the app because
now you can walk around with it and you can
see how long the lines are, and you kind of
plan your day. Or there's also a Genie Plus service
or a Genie service that helps you kind of map
things out if you are looking for sciences.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
So let me ask you this, a family, a family
of four coming in for four days, spending six.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Thousand dollars between a hotel food.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
The cost of the park is somehow value.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I don't get it. I don't, but well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
You can see a play, you could see movies, you
could have food, you can go on rides.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
All right, Okay, so there's so there.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
At this point, I'm gonna ask you both, and you
say you'll only you will only understand when it's too
much when you see it. That's like Bernie Sanders asked,
how high can taxes go income tax?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I don't know. I'll tell you when they're too high.
Seventy five percent? I don't think so. I think more
than that.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
How many rain drops hit your windshield before you turn
on your windshield wiper?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Whoa, there's there's an analogy there. You sound like Burt
Bacharak Now, okay, there is.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You know when it's time.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Okay, No, no, your censor knows when it's time.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But that's besides the point. Different different top end.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
They don't turn up. Does your car turn on the
windshield wipers.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
On their own? Okay? Coming up? Okay, coming up?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Waves hit the industry, and you've got Gavin Newsome.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Chevron versus is California.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Here's your twenty Amy Pride.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Here. It is a Monday morning, February tenth, and we well,
we got a lot to talk about today. First of all,
real quickly. On Friday, we always do ask Handle anything.
It's our new segment. It's just great fun. You asked

(00:49):
a quick one about Donald Trump. Amy just reported that
the paper straws. Trump wants to undo those, the mandatory
paper straws.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
He is absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
If you have ever had paper straws, they deliver paper
straws and I always say I didn't order oatmeal, and
the waitress male or female person goes, oh no, these
are paper straws.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Kay, thank you that twice?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Is that twice today that you've said.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I've agreed with from twice today on the penny and
the paper straws.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
He's absolutely right.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Wow, that's well, it's not big picture tariffs and everything else,
but paper straws and pennies.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You got it? Okay, large scale immigration is coming to LA.
How do we know that?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
There is a leaked document and the Feds are going
to come here before the end of February.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's going to be spearheaded by ICE.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Will focus on people who do not have legal status
in the country. Wait a minute, isn't that everybody who
is an illegal migrant. Yeah, it's gonna focus on everybody
or have penning orders removal. That is no problem being
and this is being circulated among the federal law enforcement folks.
(02:05):
Immigration operations have ramped up across the country, not in LA,
and LA was one of the biggest attacks of Trump
before he was elected. Now there's going.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
To be a lot of people picked up. So you've
got ICE and agents with the FBI and the DEA
are going to be there.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
The official who leaked it said, we need more bodies
to pick people up. Now, as of right now, I
don't think they've picked up anybody who is simply illegal.
I think that they have limited to felons those are
accused or been arrested for pretty heinous act acts.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But we know, we're.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Told they've admitted they're going to be people that are
be swept up quote collateral damage, and even.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The fear that legal residents are going to be pick up.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay, so far Mexican national convicted of lute or lacibius
acts with a child under fourteen, of course, no one
has a problem of that. Another one wanted for murder
in Mexico, Yeah, problem, a woman convicted of d.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
D UI.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, okay, And then there was a Venezuelan gang member.
And you've got where we have a whole lot of
people who are being considered being targeted. And we'll see
how far it goes because at some point, I mean,
Trump has said he wants eleven million people deported.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Now, how do you do that? Clearly you can't.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Right now, they have flown several hundred to Guatemala to Venezuela,
So those are in the hundreds and the cost of
a charter plane, in some cases military aircraft what do
you think a charter plane costs to go from here
to Guatemala? Right? Hundreds of thousands of dollars per flight?
(04:14):
I mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you're talking
about a plane that can fit two hundred and three
hundred people. How do you do that for eleven million
people without sucking up.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
A huge part of our national budget? You can't. So
how practical is this?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I don't even know how practical it is to pick
up the criminals. I mean, have you looked at some
of these raids. There are dozens of agents who.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Pick up a person that they have investigated.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
So not only do you have the cost of transporting,
but if you're going to pick up any sizable portion
of those eleven million people has been promised all right,
now you're talking about how many tens of thousands, if
not more agents involved. Not very practical, but a point
is being made. Trump has promised that in his campaign.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He was elected for that.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
There's certain things I don't think President Trump really cares about.
He cares about foreign relations a lot, and he cares
very deeply about the immigration issue. I don't think this
was simply a political ploy to get erected to get
erected to get elected. Nicely, said Bill, I don't believe
(05:35):
that this was simply a much like abortion. I don't
think he cares about abortion. I don't think he cares
about the First Amendment. I don't think cares about the
political aspirations or the political views of evangelicals.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I don't think any of that really matters to him.
That was to get elected, not immigration.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
I think he genuinely believes that that is an issue.
He was elected on that issue, and he has to
act on that issue for sure. Super Bowl yesterday, the
Philadelphia Eagles were obviously playing a high school team out
of Kansas City, and it turned out to be well,
(06:16):
a complete wipeout and just everybody, even to the point
where every time the huddle Mahomes had a huddle, he
would make a call and he actually asked the defense
on Philadelphia side to sack him. And it got to
(06:36):
be that point. Didn't one of the players have six sacks?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
It was crazy? If I'm not mistaken. Okay, maybe that
was an entire team, but let's yeah, it was. So
let's move on with the commercials because this year, strangely enough,
the commercials are back, and how are they back?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Well, we go back to celebrity, I mean all through him.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It seems like everybody who had a sag card I
had a commercial, huge names, and it turns out that
I guess they needed the money because people get paid
big time for commercials. So let's go ahead and go
through the list. I don't see Neil, by the way,
I don't know where he is. But Amy, let's start
(07:22):
with you. Okay, favorite commercials?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
All right, you had worst?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Okay, So my favorite, I think was one I didn't
actually see till this morning, and that was the Rocket mortgage,
which they everybody was singing take Me Home, Country.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Roads, and yeah, that was kind of neat.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah, it was just like kind of uplifting. And then
my most cringe worthy was the Mountain Dew commercial about
Seal where Seal is singing his song and it's he
is his face is like morphed into a seal and
it's just creepy.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I thought, Yeah, that was creepy.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I mean, I don't know who thought of that, because
that was really bizarre. For those of you that haven't
seen or are not aware of the commercials, that you
can go on the online and see these commercials.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That was a weird one.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Martha Stewart I thought was kind of neat where she
was dancing.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
It was clearly AI.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And one of the things you noticed there was no
solid nostalogia. There was comedy, celebrities and coming out of
your earballs, patriotism, humanism. Some of them were vomitous that
they were so cloying. The Budweiser commercial and this year
Space topped out at eight dollars per thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
That was early on. By the way, those.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
People got or those companies got a great deal. Those
companies that bought fourth Quarter I think got screwed. And
we don't have the numbers yet as far as how
many people bailed out. What do you think of the
Uber Eats commercial A Century of Cravings? Matthew McConaughey, who
was in half the commercials, okay, so much for that.
(09:11):
Uh Duncan's the bean method. That was pretty bizarre, wasn't it.
Ben Aflack was all through that. Why do these guys
all have beards? By the way, have you noticed that
all these celebrities matt Damon A Flack, I mean they
all had beards.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
They all got him during COVID and then they went, hey,
I like him.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Uh yeah, I'll tell you the one I really liked,
and that is Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan recreating the
scene in that restaurant in which she has an orgasm
in the film, and she again has her orgasm, but
this time eating a sandwich with I think.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Mayonnaise on it, Helman's mayonnaise.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Hellman's mayonnaise, said, and they and she has that orgasm,
and she does a great fake orgasm.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Maybe it was real. I have no idea. Maybe she
every time she eats.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
The sandwich mayonnaise on it, she does orgasm. I don't know,
but it's exactly the same. The waitress. It is a
waitress's time. A female waitress goes to the table next
to her. They're taking the order, and the gal says,
I'll have what she's having.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Billy Crystal a beard? Meg Ryan? Does she have a beard?
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Not that I noticed.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I didn't notice, So that was kind of a neat one.
Let me see what else. Oh, Harrison Ford didn't have
a beard, but he was hoaring jeeps, which I thought
was eh, you know.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That was go daddy the act like you know commercial
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
What did you think of the Instacart commercial. Did you
see that one where like all these different product brands
are running down Yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
They're running down the street, and you get they've done
that before, but this one was just for the Super Bowl,
and you had.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The kool Aid kid, the kool Aid what do you
call it?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
The picture going down there and the michelin Man and yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I think it was effective. I didn't like the ad,
but I remember that it was Instacart and that's kind
of the goal, right.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, and I think it worked. Then you had Damon,
Matt Damon, two characters Stella Artois and David and Dave
the other David that was Dave Beckham. And who else
was in there? Dave Beckham and.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
His brother, his long lost brother. Was that Matt Damon?
I think it was just Neil. We have about one
second your favorite commercial.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Honestly, I didn't watch the game. Okay, care about the
and the weirdest.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
One, and this is of course with Eugene Levy.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
The mustage or his was the eyebrows that flew around,
and then Pringles was the mustache that flew around and
landed on people and went back effective.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Yeah, because I never noticed that Pringles.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Has a mustache in.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The logo never pay attention.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Now I do a big part of it for a
long time, sir, Yeah, I just noticed it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Okay, probably my absolute favorite weirdest commercial that maybe forever.
Kanye West totally outdid himself as being well Kanye West. Amy,
let's go through some of the facts on this one.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
So the commercial ran and it showed Kanye and appeared
to be in a dentist chair and he had something
hallick over his head. I'm guessing that was Dennis Materials,
although I thought it looked like one of those you know,
tin helmets, but that was me. And he said, what's up, guys,
I spent like all the money put a commercial on
(13:15):
these new teeth and he's got these glittering white teeth
with what looks like kind of looks like he had
fangs put in or something. So once again, I had
to shoot it on the iPhone and it looks like
it's on an iPhone. It's a vertical ad. And then
he stammered, go to yezy dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
That was a whole commercials and it was it was
done as if someone just threw a camera in front
of him and go for it unedited, very amateurish. Now,
the big issue is the swastika on the T shirt,
and pointed out this morning that they ran that ad. Right,
swastika on a T shirt is the merch he's selling.
(13:57):
Can you imagine someone companies selling a sheet sheet and
a hood.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Right, would the NFL run that or a burning cross? Would?
Would the NFL say sell that? Of course not. Now
the argument is he has a right to say whatever
he wants.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I doesn't have the right to obviously buy NFL spots
if he if the NFL.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Says no or the network says no.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
But it's very interesting that for some reason they let
that through and unless they didn't know, but how could
you not know? Did someone in the NFL not go
to his website?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Was it was it? Maybe a local?
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, it was a local, But what difference does it make?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
But the NFL doesn't control that.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
No, that's true, this would be you're right, this would
be Channel eleven. You're right, local affiliate and the local
affiliate Channel eleven. But the same argument goes and I
apologize to the NFL because you're right, I'm accusing the
wrong organization. The right organization is the Fox affiliate. The
NFL was covered, was broadcast by Fox Channel eleven. Somebody
(15:13):
ran that ad. It was just so bizarre. I just
didn't get it. And you know, it's been a TMZ
says it was seven million dollars to run the ad.
That's impossible, and we can't get any figure. It's a
local spot. How could a local spot be eleven million?
I mean, yeah, I mean what seven million dollars when
(15:36):
you could buy a national spot for seven million dollars
and one of the premier parts of the game, I mean,
the most was eight million dollars.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I'm assuming seven million dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Was much better than the last commercial, which I don't
know how many people watched, and we don't have amy.
Do we have any numbers as to number one, how
many people watched. We know at the beginning of game
we're going to get x numbers. But at the end
of the game, third quarter, when the score was about
one hundred and thirty to four in favor of Philadelphia.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Yeah. I asked ABC's Jim Ryan about that today during
wake up call, and he said that we won't get
those numbers until probably tomorrow. It takes a couple of
days before we get them, so we don't know. But
he was saying too, they're expecting a huge drop off, Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Huge people. And how many people left?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
President Trump, who was there left, although Eagles fans stayed
because of the Vince Lombardi Trophy?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And how does it feel?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Isn't this wonderful couple of good moments where some of
the players were crying, and particularly Patrick Mahomes, he was
crying for a different reason than the players on Philadelphia anyway,
So a lot of interesting stuff happened in this Super
Bowl Now story and the Wall Street Journal about Disney.
(17:07):
Disneyland opened in nineteen fifty five, I think of July seventeenth,
and it cost a dollar for adults and fifty cents
for kids. If you adjust for inflation, that's eleven dollars
to get into the park today. Now, granted, nineteen fifty five,
they had relatively few rides, didn't have the food, didn't
(17:28):
have the big, massive rides. So there's an argument there,
how expensive is it to go to Disneyland. Well, first
of all, surveys have been done and Disney is one
of the most expensive places on the planet for Americans,
but family vacations, visitors keep streaming in, except it has
(17:54):
slowed down big time.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Maybe they hit critical mass.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
As I've often joke, whenever there's a problem where Disney,
there's a dip in attendance, all they do is raise
their price is forty dollars, and all of a sudden,
that does it, and they increase prices. One day, adult
passes broke the two hundred dollars mark for the first time.
Remember the fast pass skip the line that was three
(18:20):
five years ago. Now the best one is four hundred
and forty nine dollars per day. So a family four
that wants to skip lines, that's only nineteen hundred dollars,
not counting entrance. So let me now go to our
Disney fanatics. Neil is giving me a strange look, and
(18:43):
somehow you are going to defend these insane prices that
Disney is charging.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Well, I'm gonna say, value wise, they're still valuable, and
that's all I care about, you know. Walt Disney was
quoted as saying he didn't care about people complaining about
the price going in. He complained he cared what they
felt when they left, And really that has to do
with the experience itself. I still feel the value. It's clean,
(19:15):
the vibe in there takes you away from everything else.
If you were to go to a movie and pay
for popcorn, all those things for a two hour movie,
you can say that you're getting more at Disneyland than
you are there. Yeah, you would go to three hundred.
No one goes to movies. No one goes to movies.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Two expense dollars for a concert or play or anything
like that. Super Bowl four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I understand, but those are we don't we say it's
insanely expensive. Super Bowl tickets at four thousand dollars for
those bleed seats. Amy, do you think these prices are value?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I think the price I mean, the prices are high.
But I agree with Neil. It is the experience and
you can go and be there if you want. If
you want to go at rope Drop and be there
from eight o'clock in the morning until midnight, I mean
you can. It's sixteen hours. Yeah, but it's a whole
different world. Yes, a lot of people do.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So let me ask you a question.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Considering what you get for Disney at its best, is
there a critical mass for you three hundred dollars a
day for uh Disney.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I'll let you get it. Yeah, we are both pass holders.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Right, and the pass holders have gone up to if
you're doing Tier one fourteen hundred dollars per and you
have to do Tier one now, so you're spending eleven
hundred dollars, right.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I don't do Tier one anymore because.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
You're spending eleven hundred dollars. Right, So you have blackout dates.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I don't have the time to tire as much.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
But but and I do have Tier one because I
can only go on weekends.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, so you have to be able to go.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Okay, there's okay.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Here's the other thing that I want to point out,
and the reason I haven't gone in years and years
and being no one making you know, I am misunderstood
all the time. I hate Disney I don't I love Disneyland.
It is two issues. The price I think is beyond
what I think is value.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
And to the crowds. The crowds drive me nuts.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Where if you go and you don't have the ability
to pay for fast pass, you can wait an hour
an hour and a half for a three minute ride.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But they're so good.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Oh yeah, I've never I'll be ond, I have never
waited an hour and a half to go on anything
at Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
What's the longest you've ever waited?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
I think we top out at about fifty minutes five zero.
I've never And I will tell you things like Indiana
Jones will say forty five minutes, and it's always like
thirty minutes.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
So when Amy reports that it's people wait to hour
and a half, it's just not true.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
They always saying that some people can. We don't go
on those rides that day. We being a pass holder,
we can pick and choose and so some days, okay,
I went there with there on a day date with
my wife the other day last year.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
I understand that because you use it a lot. So
how about a family. How about a family of.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Four coming in from Kansas.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
So what you do is you use the app because
now you can walk around with it and you can
see how long the lines are, and you kind of
plan your day. Or there's also a Genie Plus service
or a Genie service that helps you kind of map
things out if you are looking for sciences.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
So let me ask you this, a family, a family
of four coming in for four days, spending six.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Thousand dollars between a hotel food.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
The cost of the park is somehow value.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I don't get it. I don't, but well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
You can see a play, you could see movies, you
could have food, you can go on rides.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
All right, Okay, so there's so there.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
At this point, I'm gonna ask you both, and you
say you'll only you will only understand when it's too
much when you see it. That's like Bernie Sanders asked,
how high can taxes go income tax?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I don't know. I'll tell you when they're too high.
Seventy five percent? I don't think so. I think more
than that.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
How many rain drops hit your windshield before you turn
on your windshield wiper?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Whoa, there's there's an analogy there. You sound like Burt
Bacharak Now, okay, there is.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
You know when it's time.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Okay, No, no, your censor knows when it's time.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But that's besides the point. Different different top end.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
They don't turn up. Does your car turn on the
windshield wipers.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
On their own? Okay? Coming up? Okay, coming up?
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Waves hit the industry, and you've got Gavin Newsome.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Chevron versus is California.
