Speaker 2 (00:08):
Here is a Foody Friday, April eleventh, And we just
talked to Justin Worsham, who's still hanging with us here.
Justin is doing a program this Sunday two to four
real estate. He used to be the board operator here
twenty fifteen he left and so very funny.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
We'll work. You'll enjoy that.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
In the meantime, let's talk about something that we all
enjoy and that is Neil Sabadra And it's Foody Friday
with Neil and we talk about all things food. Neil
has heard tomorrow two to five with his show The
Fork Report Morning Neil Willie Wolf And.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
If you didn't get a chance, I heard Justin last
Sunday and he did a great job.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, I know. He was very, very informative.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Slightly sad because the market blows, but super informative.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Okay, we had a lot to talk about. Hagendas released
a new treat. Now, before we do that, let me
tell you about a lawsuit that was filed against UH
that Haganda files. Do you remember Fruzen Glugia You remember
that or Fruzen Golagia was another super premium ice cream,
(01:19):
and hagen Das sued them on the basis of, uh,
that's a Swedish name. Uh, people are going to be
confused Frusen Golagia Hagendas. People won't know the difference. And
the judge, when he threw out the case turned to
the return of the attorney for Hagendas and said, now,
(01:39):
let me get this straight. You are suing a company
that also has a made up Swedish name that means
nothing and it sounds nothing like it.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Do I have this right? Case dismissed?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah, because Hogands doesn't mean it means nothing, it's real. Yeah,
it's like they do that in other countries. Do they
try and make American name food products? Yeah, well I
think they do. It's like the sweetish version of a
star is born? Right, a star is born. That's a
bad joke. Okay, Neil, Let's talk about what's to tell
us we're aware when they're bad.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Actually, to be honest with you, we're the first to know,
we know before.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You, all right, when they're bad. All right, Neil, So
I did all.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Ice cream because if you hadn't noticed yesterday was hot,
today will be hot. So I picked a bunch of
ice cream stories. Haganda's just released an all new treat
and it sounds amazing. So they have their new salted
brown butter Cookie Dazzler. Now, brown butter is when you
slowly heat butter until it starts to brown. The but
(02:51):
the fat, the milk fats, and it's a great ingredient,
tad the things. A lot of times you can get
it with pa. It's just a really lovely, rich, smoky
nutty flavor. And so now they're adding this and it's
very luxurious. Salt and sweet go very nice together. You
(03:13):
got that brown butter nuttiness and the you know, crunchy
cookies in there, a little bit of whipped cream. This
is going to be a favorite, and you can find
it where you go looking for ice cream.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's gonna be a little later.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I think some places aren't gonna get it till June,
but all over where you find your Hogendas.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
It used to be that Hogendos was the most premium
ice cream you can buy. When it first came out,
it was one of the really premium ice creams.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And now you have ice creams that.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Are premium or more premium, super duper trooper premium ice creams.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
We went through a couple, and we do this all
the time.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You go, you remember where they're the blow up of
the mom and daughter and grandma cupcake places that were
all over the place. Well, these trends come and go
and what you end up with are the best of
the best. So any cupcake place that is out there
now probably is the best of the best. Okay, Well,
(04:19):
ice cream is coming into itself and has been for
the past I don't know, eight years or so, and
you have these small brands that have come out that
do small batches, very curated and chef forward ice creams.
So yeah, so the premium grocery store ones of our
(04:41):
youth are not as premium as the newer ones that
are totally small batch and popping up all over the place.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
All right, let's take a break. We're gonna come back
and talk about Ninja. You know, they are little appliant
or the big appliance company, and they have a soft
serve ice cream maker. I'm particularly interested because as I'm
getting older, soft serve is really applicable to me.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
So will come back.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
But you can take a pill to make the soft
serve not so soft?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Did you know thats man to two people in the
world that are waiting for you to die, Me and
your new wife.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
All right, Neil Ninja, which is a pretty good appliance maker.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh, they have gotten spectacular. Really.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
They started as you know where late night TV I
think where you would hear infomercials, but they are at
the top of their game as far as air fryers
and now ice cream and.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, and soft serve. Now, we talked about this before.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I love soft serve ice cream and my favorite, my
favorite place to buy soft serves happens to be McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
When the machine works, you have no palette. It's not great.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It's convenient, but it is not great. I've told you before.
Chocolate Vanilla Twist CVT is probably the best soft serve
that you will get in southern California. Okay, Toving said that, Yes, Ninjab,
this made me think of you. It's not cheap, but
you have an elevator in your house, and I think
(06:23):
you can afford. It's about three hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But it is either that or an elevator.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, it's it's made very well, very sturdy. It takes
up about as much real estate on the top of
your counter as like a kitchen aid would. And it's
kind of in that weight class too. It's about twenty
one twenty two pounds, so it's a hefty machine, but
it has This is their newest one. They call it
the Creamy with an Eye Machine, and this is their
(06:52):
second one. The first one had a massive following and
came in at about two hundred and.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Some odd dollars.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
But this has like eleven different settings, including gelato and
malt shakes, soft serve ice cream.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh, it does it all. It does, hard ice cream,
It does everything, is what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, it really, it really it does sorbet. It really
is a beautiful machine. And I think, you know, it's interesting.
I think people that really crave these types of things.
If you've never made ice cream in your own home,
it is it's not difficult. There's tons of recipes out there,
and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Now I once had an ice cream maker, but the
problem is, you make ice cream and you're gonna do
it for the entire family, and what ends up happening
is out of this huge ice cream maker comes up. Yeah,
one like a cup.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's like one of the first bread machines I had, right,
It was massive, and I got a muffin out of it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
No, near average is about a pound. We have a
two pound bread machine here. But this one, this one,
I think does sixteen ounces. Oh that's one cup. That's
one cop No, no, no, no, sorry, sorry, sorry, No
it does more than that. I don't know why I'm blanking. Normally,
(08:14):
normally what they do is they'll do a court quarter.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay, even a quart of ice cream is you know,
that's not a lot. But if you're feeding a family,
you want a quart of ice cream, you can sort
I'll tell you yes. But I'll tell you what's really
good about this. One of the systems that it uses
on this new machine is for soft serve. You kind
of pre make it, So imagine it this way, Bill.
(08:37):
You can pre make the base, have it in I
don't in your freezer or refrigerator, and you put it
into it and it makes it into the soft serve
by adding air to it and whipping it properly. So
you could basically turn this stuff out in probably ten
fifteen minutes or less. So it doesn't take that long.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I mean it take longer to actually go drive somewhere
where they serve soft serve by far. So Really, the
turnaround time is one of the things that people are
loving about this is because you can turn around very quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Sounds good. God love soft serve. So CBT. That's a
yogurt place right, Yeah, they are, CBT. You can find them.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
This is the only packaged soft serve you can find
that is really good in grocery stores like John's and Gelson's.
You can find it in the freezer section. But they
also have trucks driving around all over the place. It
really it's spectacular. When they came on my show, I
was blown away. But it is fantastic and it's the
(09:46):
best out there. Okay to add a little salt, little
salt drizzle on top. Good Night Tomorrow, two to five,
it's Neil. Do you have the idea what you're talking
about tomorrow? Yes, Actually we have gelato on the show tomorrow.
We have a new Hamburger place over on the West
Side on the show tomorrow called Buns and Roses.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
No, that's cute, that's cute.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
My buddy Brian from The Bug Man is hanging out
the whole show. He's gonna be my guest taster for
the show. Oh he's not going to provide bugs. No, okay, no,
there will be no bugs. Although I should do that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It should because we talked about I've seen you eat bugs.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, you know, Chrispy Fried crickets and grasshoppers, and I.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Have sat across from you and the microphone with spittle
and food coming out of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'd rather eat a bug. Yeah, I'm sure you would.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I know what windshields feel like. That's actual sitting across
from that. That's actually pretty good coming up. That said,
two o'clock tomorrow. Now, now here's what we do every Friday.
The last two segments is ask handle Anything. And the
reason this came about is because people ask me, ask Neil,
ask everybody what the other person's like. I get asked,
(11:01):
what's nel like, what's cobalt like, what's Gary chan? What's
Tim Conway like? And they get the same thing.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So what I thought I'd do is answer questions, ask
handle anything, and their personal questions that I'm fine, I'm
fine to answer them. And then that way you're gonna
have an idea when you ask what's handle like? Is
he as big a dick as everybody thinks? And the
answer is yes, So let's do it. Here's what you
do is we record you record questions, or we record
(11:30):
them and we play them Neil and choose whichever one's
that sound good, and then I answer him.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And I haven't heard him before. I'm hearing the same
time you are. So let's do it. And Neil is
here and he is commenting. Also, all right, cono, first one,
how many people went with the wedding party to Italy?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
How many were in the party and how many went
for the wedding?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Okay, in the party, well, deal was their best man
in the party was about four or five I think
at the wedding party and forty people went.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Forty.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It was a destination wedding, so to get forty people
to fly out there was kind of interesting but great.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
They were all on the bride side.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yes, oh yeah, you were the only one. As matter
of fact, the only one that was on my side
was you and my daughter Barbara.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Nope, Barbara sat over on the other side. Oh she
didn't care much for you. Okay, Well, so much for that.
Next question, Mill, speaking of kids shows, do you remember
a show called Wonder Rama, Walker Do Walker Do?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
What Could Do? No?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I remember the walka Do part, but wonder Robi the name. Yeah,
I don't remember Wonder Rama Wonder Rock.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Do Walker Do? What Could Do? Walk Do? What can Do?
What Could do?
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's a promo by the way, Uh, kono, you know what?
We can use that as a drop. But the answer
wake him up? The answer is.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All right, so far the questions have been ridiculously bad.
Good for you, Neil, you're choosing your listeners.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Okay, Kno, Hey, good morning handles. Congratulations.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
I guess I don't know why you just couldn't stay
shocked up anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Were there any pre nups involved? Actually no, no, thinking
about a post now.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But it really it doesn't change I mean, realistically, it
doesn't change anything. Listen to you, No, it doesn't it
it doesn't. No, No, it doesn't. What do you need
to pren that for financial?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's all about finances. It doesn't change anything. Everything I've
wrapped up is already in a trust. And uh you
know it's I'm not that good a guy to marry financially,
not sexually either, But that's another story.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
All right, Next question, Hey.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Bill, just listened to your segment on EV cars and
this is for the ask Bill anything on Friday. Just
curious what you noticed when you were over in Italy
with regard to electric cars.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Would like to know.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Your comments on you know, what you saw in terms
of electric cars overseas.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I didn't see one, Neil. Did you see an EV's.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Not that I recognize, but I don't know their brand,
like you know the brands of cars that I saw
out there. I don't know what's an EV or not.
But I did see charging stations. Oh I didn't.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah I didn't. We drove, Yeah, I mean everybody drove.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And gas is about seven and a half dollars a
gallon too, by the way, for those of you that
do drive over there.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's why cars are not it certainly is. It was
a dollar.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
It was one point eight euros per leader, per leader,
so that's about two bucks a court, give or take two. Yeah,
so it's actually almost eight dollars because it's there are
more leaders than in a gallon.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I'm trying to think what I paid. Yeah, Oh yeah,
you paid. Wait till you see your credit card? Oh yeah,
you could see on there. It tells you how much
you're spending, Yeah, how many euros you are spending. And
then you have add ten percent premium to that, and
it is you're at seven change a gallon.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Look at your credit card.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I would gladly pay whatever to not have to pay
their tolls. Their toll roads getting on off the freeway
are absurd. Now I have a quick point. You can rent.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
This is what you should have asked me about, because
I've been there enough times. You can rent a toll
road little device, a little trasp on earth, and it
goes as many tolls as you want. It's like three
hundred dollars for our entire trip, and we were like
two and a half weeks. And you go right through
the tolls and it doesn't matter how many, and more importantly,
(15:51):
you zip through. It's an automatic device and it's wonderful.
So yeah, I beat myself up afterwards.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
We should knew about the next recorded question.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
For ask Bill anything. I want to know. Have you
ever roller bladed down Venice Beach?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
No, I have not.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I have roller bladed and fell on my ass a
few times, but no, I have never rollerbated roller bladed
down Venice beach. What a ridiculously dumb question, Neil. I
have to tell you we're hitting new lows on these questions.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Well, it's either this or people asking if your new
wife's a gold digger.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I chose these.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Oh no, we can do the gold dig question and
go yeah, yeah, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I just thought over and over again. I'm trying to
mix them up.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Okay, got it all right, So okay, it's not your fault.
It's the callers that were limited.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
So reality as you've been gone for three weeks. Yeah,
oh right, I get it. I get it all right. Cono.
Next question, Hi.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
This is Christy. Do would you go on vacation?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Do you keep an eye on what's going on in
the news or you just turn it all off? Thanks? No,
I actually pay attention.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I'm a news junkie and so I'm looking at CNN.
I'm looking at the New York Times on my phone usually.
So yeah, Unfortunately, I stay a news junkie, to the
chagrin of others who I am with.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Good question.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
By the way, Bill, are there cost cos in Italy?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Well?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
You know what, No, I don't think, so I don't
think Neil, did you see any costcos?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
No, how are you going to live out there? Oh
without a Costco? Yeah, you know, it's a different world
out there. Are you going to import everything? What about tariffs?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, yeah, there's no terror.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I don't think they're gonna cost fifteen dollars with tariffs.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
No, they're gonna know they cost fifteen dollars now, but
it's only ten percent, so it's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Well, it's over there.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You know, you buy shirts if they had Costco and
they don't bring them out, so yeah, I don't think
they'd even sell a shirt from Osco over there. But
the answer is no, I don't think there are costcos.
There are costcos in various parts of the world, but
I don't think in Italy.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Hey Bill, this is Tony from the end of the Empire.
I was just wondering when you were in Italy during
your wedding, what were some of the extra activities you
did besides wedding stuff. We all have a great day
to day and be safe.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Out there, Okay, some of the extra activities going after
some of the waiters and waitresses. I didn't really care.
I just took a vacation. You know, what did you guys?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Do we took.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
We drove through the rest of Italy because Verona is
in the northern part. This is northern Italy and it's
pretty near the northern border. And then just drove all
the way down and went into Sicily and went to Palermo,
went to Naples, and I discovered a new word for
those two cities, which I had no idea, and that
(19:00):
word is toilet, which describes two cities like Palermo as
well as Oh yeah, Palerama is horrible, Yeah dirty, I
mean Sicily is poor, it's dirty.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It pothole Sicily. Because I've never been to Sicily before.
Well now you know why. And Lindsay's a fanatic Godfather
just freak. Oh, I'll tell you one thing. It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Went with a guide to a little tiny, a little
tiny town outside of Palermo where they filmed part of
The Godfather and this is where.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
The now the stars of it.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Oh, come on, I just made a blank Michael, right,
So Michael is coming out of the church with Apollonia,
whatever the hell her name is. And we went to
the church where they walked out and it was a
Godfather tour. So then we're walking down this little hill
where you had part of the that was filmed.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
And outcomes this woman, this.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Elderly woman that the guide kissed her and on both
cheeks and they spoke Italian.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And he turned to us and said, you know who
that woman was.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
This was the mother of Apollonia in the movie Francis
Ford Couple.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What he did is he cast the locals. She was
the mom.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
She had never acted before, didn't speak a word of English,
it was all Italian. And she did a phenomenal job.
And he said, and she goes, she never came out,
She would never come out. You just got a one
in a million, and only because he was there. And
we have to put that picture up because that was exciting.
(20:48):
You go to the Godfather the set, the outdoor set
with its little village, and there was mom, Wow, yeah,
just terrific.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Is this still a thing? The marriage? You're still married?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, we're three weeks out, but it's falling up.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I was going to say, yeah, I mean I'm looking
at the watch here and uh yeah, I mean who
thought it would last this long?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It could eat talk all right, One more one more question.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
And we're going to dive in with Shannon. One more question. Hey, Bill.

kind of asked for it. How is your relationship with
Marjorie and does she and Lindsey have a good relationship
with amicable?
