Speaker 3 (00:11):
I got MONDAYFI AM six forty Bill Handle Here a
good morning, and it is a footy Friday, August eighth,
and this is probably most fun hour of the week,
not only because it's the end of the week and
I don't have to sit with these people anymore in
the morning, but it's my two favorite segments, one of
(00:34):
them being our food segment with Neil, and the other
one is ask Candle Anything, which is completely embarrassing to me.
Neil switches gears tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon as he
hosts The Fork Report from two to five pm.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Oh yeah, And on that note, we are doing my
birthday show tomorrow live at Wisconso Garden.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Not Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You got me doing it, Yeah, Desconzo Restaurant in La
not there, Orange County one, and I think there might
be some room. We have a small area for just us,
little VIP area, but check in on that and we'll
sign a jumdar from the Food Network. My good Buddy's
going to join us Monica Rodriguez, the councilwoman Monica Rodriguez
(01:21):
from the seventh district is coming out some buddies, some surprises.
Also will be giving away some stuff and compliment mentory
advertisers and specials and all this stuff. So if you're interested,
just email RSVP at disconso Restaurant dot com your name
(01:41):
and the people in your party.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
All right, fair enough, Now let's get right into foody
Friday and start with one of my favorite foods and
one of my favorite diseases all combined together. French fries
and the bees, sugars and diabetes. Diabetes. So connect the
(02:04):
two because I have yet to hear this.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, this is that's the man always trying to bring
us down. There was a study that was just published
on Wednesday the journal BMJ, and they are look. They
were doing a study about potatoes in general and their
tie into diabetes and the diabetes the risk of diabetes.
(02:29):
So the authors went through they looked at diets, more
than two hundred thousand adults in the US, a bunch
of questionnaires all this, and the authors looked at which
people developed type two diabetes.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
High blood sugars. We all know what that is.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And they found that eating three weekly servings of French
fries was associated with a twenty percent, twenty freaking percent
increase in risk of getting.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Type two diabetes.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
But if you did boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, didn't.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Like.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I love.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Those studies because it's you know, connecting the causuality together.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, for example, let's say people.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That go to Magic Mountain, right, and they stop by
the nearest McDonald's. So therefore, people that go to amusement
parks are more likely to eat French fries than not.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So, yes, it does not mean causality. I guess it
could be a quinky dink. Yeah, two hundred thousand people.
It brings it up study, especially when you're comparing it
to other potatoes. Now, I like potatoes in all forms,
bring them in all forms, so I will continue to.
If you're quite you can actually hear Shannon Farren turn
off the radio when you hear anything bad about French fries.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I love French fries too.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean, they are by far the best way to
eat potatoes.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Oh, they're fantastic, They're magical. Now I love other forms.
One of the greatest things in the whole white world is.
Melissa's produce is fantastic. By the way, they have baby
yellow Dutch potatoes and they're to my knowledge, they're the
only ones that have them. And you put a little
olive oil and a little salt and pepper on those
(04:24):
and you can grill them like that. But they are
so pillowy and buttery and lovely just on their own.
Those to me could beat out French fries. But you
don't get we don't.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Get the crispy outside, don't they kind of it's weird.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
You get a snap on them like a good hot
dog and they but it really is like pretty magical.
If I could get those in a box with a burger,
I'd eat that. But because everything we love sucks, why
didn't God make the stuff that tastes good.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Be good for you?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
That is a real problem. That's my only theological issue. Yeah,
you know, I get with the art. Well, here's the theory.
Here's a theological question, and that is Adam and Eve.
Or it's not even a hypothetical. I'll make a religious statement.
You know this stuff. So Adam and Eve are in
the garden of Beaten and after eating the apple or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They helped fruit.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It was probably a pomme ran.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
God comes down and now punishes Adam and Eve. And
as you know, Jews were the first, the first people
to be to declare a single god. And we know
that yes, monotheism. And so here is the question. God
decides to punish where's this going Adam and Eve? And
(05:47):
what he does is produce lobster and pork and that
was the greatest punishment.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
He said, Hey, listen up, I hope that I hope
you enjoyed that pomegranite because now you.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Can't eat this. Yeah, it was, yeah, not.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Really a punishment as much as the natural repercussions of
their rebellion.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well yeah, but you know pain in childhood, the childbirth,
child blood. You had pain in childhood because your father
beats you. And that's different.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And man had the labor now for his nutrients, he
had to label he had labor for.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
The belief is that it was a perfect system. There
wasn't even any need for rain because everything was a
closed system and people.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Could eat lobster and pork shops and it didn't matter
who or what you were.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Actually, there's a there is some belief that there wasn't
any eating of animals before.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
The curse vegetarian God, there was no need for it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Vegetarian there are the.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Animals on the planet at that time were simply to
be enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
For what do I look like, Deborah Mark? Come on?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
No, no, all right, no, not even a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Why don't we take a break and come back as
free whoppers? Free whoppers and that's serious and Halloween treats,
and we actually are going to go through these.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Halloween is popping up earlier and earlier.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's it's oh, I just saw a bunch of Halloween
stuff at Costco.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's they broken open with Halloween and what is it?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Are you going to get that giant skeleton.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
With fifteen foot tall skeleton?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, Weather about three hundred dollars, aren't they You can
afford it day? It look good at your new Housemmm.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You could put an anti Trump sign on it.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I know, you know, I think the HOA may have
a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You could put a little orange wig on it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I can put a yamica on it. Okay, this is
an important one.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Free whoppers.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Let let the uh actually started on August fifth. It
will go through the eleventh Burger King is basically celebrating
one year of its Walmart Plus partnership. They're giving away
free whoppers. So do you have do you have Walmart?
You ever ship a Momart?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I really cost?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, just a cost come because there's't there isn't a
Walmart close to me.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Well, Walmart Plus is their subscription service where you can
have things delivered. Among other things, there's a lot of
specialty things that you can get with it, and so
if you are a Walmart Plus member, then you can
get deals at Burger King such as you know, twenty
(08:36):
five percent off all orders, all of these things to
their special Walmart Plus members. But you can also get
a free whopper with any purchase once a quarter using
the special code. That's great, but right now they are
celebrating their partnership with a little something extra special. And
(08:58):
all you do starting on the fifth, like I said,
and going through the eleventh, members of Walmart Plus and
the Royal Perks, which is of course the subscription for
Burger King can get a free Burger King whopper every
day with just a one dollar purchase. So basically, buy
your fries and you can get a free whopper.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now it's every day.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's every day up until the eleventh, right, so they
got a yeah you can still get something. It's Monday,
but you can go through today and the weekend just
by being a member of those two things.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's mine.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
That's right now, is that everybody has to individually be
a member. You can't order six of these, No, it's
just for yeah, just for the membership.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, that's unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I love how every time we talk about something that's free,
you are always looking for the loopholes, loopholes, counselor they're
going trying to figure figure it out.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It reminds me of that W. C.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Fields quote where someone came across him reading the Bible
and he was flipping through pages and someone said, what
are you doing? He goes looking for loopholes, looking for loopholes.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Funny, Halloween treats are already here. And my favorite Halloween
treat is the same bag of candy corn that I've
had since I was eight years old, because nobody eats
candy corn.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now I like candy corn.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Fine, you're on your mind, but Halloween, the treats, the candies,
as Amy said, going to Costco and getting the fifteen
foot tall Skeleton's funny you.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Need your microphone.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's funny how we always you got me.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's funny how we always complain about Christmas coming earlier
each year. And then you know, like the fall drinks
for all the fall flavors that come out earlier, but
more and more, Halloween in every way is coming out
earlier and earlier. So now here we are in August,
and you've got these partnerships, food partners that are all
(11:00):
over the place. So a couple of weeks ago, you
had a partnership with the television show Wednesday, which I
think just launched the other day on the sixth, So
that the new season of Wednesday, well you know the
image that they have the mascot for Wendy's is the
(11:21):
little redhead with you know, ponytails and whatnot. Well they
switched out that logo to Wednesday Atoms in purple, white
and black, and then they had a special meal. Still
has the meal going on now, but that came out.
Now you've got Betty Crocker just brought back a favorite
for Halloween. So they've kind of repackaged these baking mixes.
(11:47):
In this particular case, it's a black cake, a chocolate cake.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How about the candies, you know those huge bags of
candies you buy, you know, ten pounds worth or you know,
three dollars at Costco.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
What about it? No, are they out yet.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Oh there's many places that I've started putting that stuff out,
but it always starts with these partnerships first, and they
kind of go into where they start clearing off the
aisles for candy. Candy, although important, is not going to
be You're not going to get your candy in August.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, that's the question.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's really going to be baked goods, crafting goods, decorations.
These are the things I've already seen the decorations that
are out.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So we're talking Halloween starting three months out, because we're
at the beginning of August and it goes August, all
of September, all of October, and then of course Halloween hits.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
But most people like to decorate their house for Halloween
pretty early. I mean, our house quite honestly is decorated
kind of Halloween themed year round. It's just the things
that we like on our mantle right now. Dead bodies, yes,
just rotting corpses, no, but the gargoyles from the stretching
(13:05):
room at Disneyland, and the Hunted Mansion got those with
candles in them on I have one of the busts
that follow you.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
We have those.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I love ravens and crows and have those all over
the place. So I like those things and I'm always
shopping for them year round. But I'm constantly amazed how
much earlier these things are coming out in the food category,
getting these specialty foods and the specialty packages are already
in stores right now for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
And for those of you who, of course will never
go to Neil's house because you'll never be invited, it
really is interesting. I mean Neil, especially Halloween when he
decorates man, he goes.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Balls to the wall on this one. Yeah, I hadn't
for a while. It's funny. Having a kid makes it
more difficult. But I think this year I will be
doing a full blown Hunted Mansion.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's what he does. What he does
is pretty tremendous.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Okay, it's now Ask Candle Anything Friday, August eighth, and
we now go right into the last two segments Ask
Candle Anything, And that started because everybody asks about everybody
on the show.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
If strangers ask how what's Neil like? What's John like?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
And so we try to answer personal questions at least
to people who ask. And so we started ask handle
anything where we record the questions.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So let's get right to it. Cono. First question, Hey, Bill,
did you know that Bill handles a stupid more and
with an ugly face and a big butt, and his
butt smells and he likes to kiss his own butt.
Thanks yes to all of those no questions. Yeah, that
is a statement.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, and that is you know, It's the problem is
it's in the public domain.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So delivery made me laugh.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, very strong, very very good. Okay, Cono.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Question for both Bill handle and for meal.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
If you had to choose your last meal, what would
you choose and why?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Neil? Yes, what's what would you do?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Last meal?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
For me?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Hands down would be my mom's homemade tortillas with just
a little salt and butter on them, and the birthday
cake that she would make me, which is a yellow
cake with chocolate frosting.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh, that's cool, I would do that in hertbeat.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
My last meal would be a worm casserole for my mother,
and that's because she's been dead. And very ten years
ago or fifteen years ago, you don't know that.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Maybe she's living somewhere else, maybe she's living with Elvis.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, quite possibly. All right, next question.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Hey, you're just talking about shopping at Costco different times
of the day, and I'm wondering if when you shop
at Costco you have fans that come up and a
cost you on a rag on her basis since everyone
knows now the general area where you live and they
know you're a Costco fan, And I was wondering if
they stalked you at Costco.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yes, yes, as a matter of fact, they do. I
do get people who listen. Usually it's my voice. And
it literally just happened a couple of days ago. I
went to Costco, how unusual, and I was at the
pharmacy and I was getting my blood pressure medication and
a woman next to me recognized me and said, wow
(16:32):
your bill And I go, yeah, could I take a picture?
And she took a selfie And in the middle of it,
I turned to the pharmacists and I said, will those
pills really make my work?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And I did it loud, so these will clear the
rash up?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You say, nice?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
But yeah again, yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But the answer actually is yes, people do, uh not
regularly or anything. It's not like I'm accosted, but it's
kind of fun. It's it's kind of fun to be recognized, Neil.
You get recognized, recognized, it's.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Kind of hard to miss the fat tattooed guy with
the blue beard and the hat.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, that's true, that's true. Okay, next question.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Last month, you and Neil had those artificial intelligence eulogies
done for you, and boy they were good as depressing
and sad.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I've been listening for twenty five years.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Anyways, where are you gonna be buried that bill?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Uh? Those fake those fake eulogies were so sad.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Anyways, when you kick it, probably soon where you're gonna
go Bob?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
So uh, yeah I do. I bought a plot years
and years ago. That's uncomfortable, No, it's yeah. I'm one
of those people that I bought a plot and pre
paid for everything because.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
That's free too.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, that's but that's tough. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's a stack of them.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's a tough one. Great story by the one.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The bottom one on top, the guy who bought the
little mausoleum crypt above and he had himself facing down
and his wife sold it a couple of years ago
and got three million dollars for it to someone wanted
to be buried on top of Maryland Roe.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Figure that one out.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What so they move him?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They moved him. Yeah, that's his dying wish.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, listen, he's dead and his wife maybe hooked up
with some twenty two year old pool Oh I know, yeah,
applot that.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yes, and I did. I did. I bought a plot
and prepaid for everything.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I'm a big fan of So when I croak, the
kids have to make one phone call and that's it
and everything else, everything else is taken care of.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
So I think that's a huge gift. You can't do.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That with a new wife.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
That's a problem because it's already been done. And that's
it isn't a Jewish cemetery. It is a Jewish cemetery,
and there isn't There lies another story.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And she's a tattooed yeah she is.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So there lies another another story. When I bought the plot,
it was up at the cheap Jewish cemetery at the
top of the San Fernando Valley. You can go to
the one in the on the west side where Al
Jolson is buried.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's hillside. That's expensive stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
So this is the cheap one up in off of
Ronaldi up in San Fernando and so and every jew
in the valley is buried there.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So we go and to buy a plot and we're talking.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'm talking to the plot lady salesperson, and we're talking prices,
and so I say, how much is this plot? And
she goes, eight thousand dollars. I said, eight thousand dollars, which,
by the way, is cheap. Eight thousand dollars. This is
literally three by six. Do you understand you're charging eight
thousand dollars for a three by six right, that's eighteen
(19:53):
square feet. And she goes, ye know, well that's that's
the price. And I start going, oh no, no, we're
not going to do that. So she said, can I
negotiate with these Like my mom died and my dad died.
I totally negotiated with the mortuary in the cemetery. So
she said, I'll tell you what we are. We're opening
(20:14):
up a new section for only Persian people in this
part of the cemetery.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But I'll let we'll I'll let you guys be buried there.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You can buy a plot there for thirty percent off,
thirty percent discount. So there's my plot, and Persians I have,
they have, Persians have tombstones, and Ashkenazi Jews, Western European Jews,
Eastern European Jews don't.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
We don't believe in tombstone.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
So we just have a little plaque on the grave
side as beloved, father, beloved, you know that sort of stuff.
And so when that is full, they'll be tombstones all
over it, and right in the middle there'll be an
empty spot of some rocks on it.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, pretty much. So the answer is.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Wow, what yah thirty I can't respond anything without coming
across as racist.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
So thirty percent off, okay, it's not ten percent off,
thirty percent is a substantial.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yesty, I get. I could do the math.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, So if you go up there and uh, yeah,
there's my plots, and now I have to deal with Lindsey.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Gosh, well just yeah, she's not very big.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, it's true. It's true.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's why they just shover in yours a little.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Uh, there's room, all right, Hi, this is joning from Moscow, Idaho.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I hear you talk about Barbara quite a bit, but
Pamela not so much. What does she do for a living?
And it sound much she didn't attend your wedding?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Long story so I won't go into why she'd attend
my wedding.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But not that long you.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Uh, divorced her mother and then got married to a
younger woman and tore the family apart, tore.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The family apart. Thank you for that?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Okay, all right, okay, So I will okay, I will
now explain why why Barbara went to the wedding Because
she wasn't going to.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Either, No, but she found out it was in Italy. Yeah,
that's a free trip.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's exactly Yes. So Barbara said where Dad? Where she
wasn't gonna go for those reasons. And she then said Dad,
where an Orange County? Are you going to get married?
I said, Orange County? Are you out of your mind?
I've booked a castle in Italy. At that point, that moment,
(22:45):
she gave the fist, the fish moves pumping fish says
I'm in, I'm in.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So she came to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Easy questions.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, and Pamela, I talk a lot about Barbara.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Pamela is uh is doing her master's degree in computer engineering,
and she will be in school for the rest of
her life because she knows that as long as she
is in school, I will pick up the tab for everything.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
She's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I'm almost.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yeah, yeah, she's gonna have five PhDs by the time

Also not a problem? Okay, moving on, Kno, husband and.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I are thinking about going to Italy, and I know
you're familiar with it, and we don't really want to
go to the major cities like Rome and Venice, and
we were wondering what your thoughts are and experience as
far as the best little towns to go to. Okay,
thinking of Tuscany, but I think that's getting overgrown as well.
(24:24):
I appreciate your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Thank you. No, that's a good question. Tuscany is amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's northern Italy and this is where Venice is and Milan,
which you don't want.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
To go to.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I say that I hate Milan and because it's an
industrial town and you know, you, you know, you go
to see you know, what's in Milan is the Last
Supper and you go and see the Last Supper and
you eh.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's really no big deal.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And so here's the town that we're in love with
where I'm probably going to end up at least part
of the Verona that's where I got married. And it's
a mi Tuscany. And driving through Tuscany, you don't have crowds.
It's a big place. It's the back it's the back woods,
(25:09):
and you have these wonderful fields and these tiny painting.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
So you drive through Tuscany, you're in a car, and
Verona is a really neat city that we know. Southern
Italy is tough. Rome, of course, is completely jammed.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I hate still gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, I just oh the history. The history is But
I'll tell you why I hate Rome. It's plastered with graffiti.
Every single wall is graffited in Rome. And imagine this.
You've got the foundations of these homes and buildings are
on Roman foundations twenty five hundred years old.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Okay, now you have foundations.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Now the building that's built on top of that is
five hundred years old, built during the Renaissance or the
sixteen maybe the seventeen hundreds, but mainly fIF teen hundred
and sixteen hundreds. Those walls are totally graffiti. Give me
a break. So that's where I suggest, the Verona area.
(26:09):
And you're an hour away from Florence, you're an hour
away from Venice. You're right in the middle. To take
a train as an hour each way. All right, we'll
do one more if we can't.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Hey handle you self. Admit, in your early days, late
teens and twenties, et cetera, you weren't quite the catch.
So did you slic women of the night ever? During
those days when you were just a fat slob and
stuff constantly?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But the good news is I actually never engaged in
sex with those women because they all said no.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So you know, what can I tell you?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Wow, even with money on line, I know, Hey.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
It's been a great Saturday night for me. Bill and
you know, I've.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Actually I'm actually pretty good. I was thinking it close
in early you know.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I was thinking taking the shit out down.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
No, I was never one of those because, frankly, it's
when they say, hey, you're the best I've ever had,
or man, you're good looking at give me the money
for some reason that doesn't connect with me.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Okay, we're done, guys.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
And by the way, if I had I tell you,
I'm not shy about that sort of stuff. Okay, christ
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, we're done completely. Feene coming up,
Gary and Shannon. I'll be back tomorrow with Handle on
the Law at eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Don't forget.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
From two to five, we've got Neil at Disconso Restaurant.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
So you're told me a woman's never been with you

It's okay, all right, thank you, Okay, this is that's funny.

good morning, and it is a footy Friday, August eighth,
and this is probably most fun hour of the week,
not only because it's the end of the week and
I don't have to sit with these people anymore in
the morning, but it's my two favorite segments, one of
(00:34):
them being our food segment with Neil, and the other
one is ask Candle Anything, which is completely embarrassing to me.
Neil switches gears tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon as he
hosts The Fork Report from two to five pm.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Oh yeah, And on that note, we are doing my
birthday show tomorrow live at Wisconso Garden.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Not Wisconsin.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You got me doing it, Yeah, Desconzo Restaurant in La
not there, Orange County one, and I think there might
be some room. We have a small area for just us,
little VIP area, but check in on that and we'll
sign a jumdar from the Food Network. My good Buddy's
going to join us Monica Rodriguez, the councilwoman Monica Rodriguez
(01:21):
from the seventh district is coming out some buddies, some surprises.
Also will be giving away some stuff and compliment mentory
advertisers and specials and all this stuff. So if you're interested,
just email RSVP at disconso Restaurant dot com your name
(01:41):
and the people in your party.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
All right, fair enough, Now let's get right into foody
Friday and start with one of my favorite foods and
one of my favorite diseases all combined together. French fries
and the bees, sugars and diabetes. Diabetes. So connect the
(02:04):
two because I have yet to hear this.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, this is that's the man always trying to bring
us down. There was a study that was just published
on Wednesday the journal BMJ, and they are look. They
were doing a study about potatoes in general and their
tie into diabetes and the diabetes the risk of diabetes.
(02:29):
So the authors went through they looked at diets, more
than two hundred thousand adults in the US, a bunch
of questionnaires all this, and the authors looked at which
people developed type two diabetes.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
High blood sugars. We all know what that is.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And they found that eating three weekly servings of French
fries was associated with a twenty percent, twenty freaking percent
increase in risk of getting.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Type two diabetes.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
But if you did boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, didn't.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Like.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, I love.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Those studies because it's you know, connecting the causuality together.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, for example, let's say people.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
That go to Magic Mountain, right, and they stop by
the nearest McDonald's. So therefore, people that go to amusement
parks are more likely to eat French fries than not.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
So, yes, it does not mean causality. I guess it
could be a quinky dink. Yeah, two hundred thousand people.
It brings it up study, especially when you're comparing it
to other potatoes. Now, I like potatoes in all forms,
bring them in all forms, so I will continue to.
If you're quite you can actually hear Shannon Farren turn
off the radio when you hear anything bad about French fries.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I love French fries too.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean, they are by far the best way to
eat potatoes.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Oh, they're fantastic, They're magical. Now I love other forms.
One of the greatest things in the whole white world is.
Melissa's produce is fantastic. By the way, they have baby
yellow Dutch potatoes and they're to my knowledge, they're the
only ones that have them. And you put a little
olive oil and a little salt and pepper on those
(04:24):
and you can grill them like that. But they are
so pillowy and buttery and lovely just on their own.
Those to me could beat out French fries. But you
don't get we don't.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Get the crispy outside, don't they kind of it's weird.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
You get a snap on them like a good hot
dog and they but it really is like pretty magical.
If I could get those in a box with a burger,
I'd eat that. But because everything we love sucks, why
didn't God make the stuff that tastes good.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Be good for you?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
That is a real problem. That's my only theological issue. Yeah,
you know, I get with the art. Well, here's the theory.
Here's a theological question, and that is Adam and Eve.
Or it's not even a hypothetical. I'll make a religious statement.
You know this stuff. So Adam and Eve are in
the garden of Beaten and after eating the apple or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
They helped fruit.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
It was probably a pomme ran.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
God comes down and now punishes Adam and Eve. And
as you know, Jews were the first, the first people
to be to declare a single god. And we know
that yes, monotheism. And so here is the question. God
decides to punish where's this going Adam and Eve? And
(05:47):
what he does is produce lobster and pork and that
was the greatest punishment.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
He said, Hey, listen up, I hope that I hope
you enjoyed that pomegranite because now you.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Can't eat this. Yeah, it was, yeah, not.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Really a punishment as much as the natural repercussions of
their rebellion.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Well yeah, but you know pain in childhood, the childbirth,
child blood. You had pain in childhood because your father
beats you. And that's different.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And man had the labor now for his nutrients, he
had to label he had labor for.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
The belief is that it was a perfect system. There
wasn't even any need for rain because everything was a
closed system and people.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Could eat lobster and pork shops and it didn't matter
who or what you were.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Actually, there's a there is some belief that there wasn't
any eating of animals before.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
The curse vegetarian God, there was no need for it.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Vegetarian there are the.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Animals on the planet at that time were simply to
be enjoyed.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
For what do I look like, Deborah Mark? Come on?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
No, no, all right, no, not even a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Why don't we take a break and come back as
free whoppers? Free whoppers and that's serious and Halloween treats,
and we actually are going to go through these.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Halloween is popping up earlier and earlier.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
It's it's oh, I just saw a bunch of Halloween
stuff at Costco.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
It's they broken open with Halloween and what is it?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Are you going to get that giant skeleton.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
With fifteen foot tall skeleton?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, Weather about three hundred dollars, aren't they You can
afford it day? It look good at your new Housemmm.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You could put an anti Trump sign on it.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I know, you know, I think the HOA may have
a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You could put a little orange wig on it.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I can put a yamica on it. Okay, this is
an important one.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Free whoppers.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Let let the uh actually started on August fifth. It
will go through the eleventh Burger King is basically celebrating
one year of its Walmart Plus partnership. They're giving away
free whoppers. So do you have do you have Walmart?
You ever ship a Momart?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I really cost?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, just a cost come because there's't there isn't a
Walmart close to me.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Well, Walmart Plus is their subscription service where you can
have things delivered. Among other things, there's a lot of
specialty things that you can get with it, and so
if you are a Walmart Plus member, then you can
get deals at Burger King such as you know, twenty
(08:36):
five percent off all orders, all of these things to
their special Walmart Plus members. But you can also get
a free whopper with any purchase once a quarter using
the special code. That's great, but right now they are
celebrating their partnership with a little something extra special. And
(08:58):
all you do starting on the fifth, like I said,
and going through the eleventh, members of Walmart Plus and
the Royal Perks, which is of course the subscription for
Burger King can get a free Burger King whopper every
day with just a one dollar purchase. So basically, buy
your fries and you can get a free whopper.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now it's every day.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
That's every day up until the eleventh, right, so they
got a yeah you can still get something. It's Monday,
but you can go through today and the weekend just
by being a member of those two things.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's mine.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
That's right now, is that everybody has to individually be
a member. You can't order six of these, No, it's
just for yeah, just for the membership.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, that's unfortunately.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I love how every time we talk about something that's free,
you are always looking for the loopholes, loopholes, counselor they're
going trying to figure figure it out.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It reminds me of that W. C.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Fields quote where someone came across him reading the Bible
and he was flipping through pages and someone said, what
are you doing? He goes looking for loopholes, looking for loopholes.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Funny, Halloween treats are already here. And my favorite Halloween
treat is the same bag of candy corn that I've
had since I was eight years old, because nobody eats
candy corn.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now I like candy corn.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Fine, you're on your mind, but Halloween, the treats, the candies,
as Amy said, going to Costco and getting the fifteen
foot tall Skeleton's funny you.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Need your microphone.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
It's funny how we always you got me.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's funny how we always complain about Christmas coming earlier
each year. And then you know, like the fall drinks
for all the fall flavors that come out earlier, but
more and more, Halloween in every way is coming out
earlier and earlier. So now here we are in August,
and you've got these partnerships, food partners that are all
(11:00):
over the place. So a couple of weeks ago, you
had a partnership with the television show Wednesday, which I
think just launched the other day on the sixth, So
that the new season of Wednesday, well you know the
image that they have the mascot for Wendy's is the
(11:21):
little redhead with you know, ponytails and whatnot. Well they
switched out that logo to Wednesday Atoms in purple, white
and black, and then they had a special meal. Still
has the meal going on now, but that came out.
Now you've got Betty Crocker just brought back a favorite
for Halloween. So they've kind of repackaged these baking mixes.
(11:47):
In this particular case, it's a black cake, a chocolate cake.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How about the candies, you know those huge bags of
candies you buy, you know, ten pounds worth or you know,
three dollars at Costco.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
What about it? No, are they out yet.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Oh there's many places that I've started putting that stuff out,
but it always starts with these partnerships first, and they
kind of go into where they start clearing off the
aisles for candy. Candy, although important, is not going to
be You're not going to get your candy in August.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, that's the question.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
It's really going to be baked goods, crafting goods, decorations.
These are the things I've already seen the decorations that
are out.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So we're talking Halloween starting three months out, because we're
at the beginning of August and it goes August, all
of September, all of October, and then of course Halloween hits.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
But most people like to decorate their house for Halloween
pretty early. I mean, our house quite honestly is decorated
kind of Halloween themed year round. It's just the things
that we like on our mantle right now. Dead bodies, yes,
just rotting corpses, no, but the gargoyles from the stretching
(13:05):
room at Disneyland, and the Hunted Mansion got those with
candles in them on I have one of the busts
that follow you.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
We have those.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I love ravens and crows and have those all over
the place. So I like those things and I'm always
shopping for them year round. But I'm constantly amazed how
much earlier these things are coming out in the food category,
getting these specialty foods and the specialty packages are already
in stores right now for Halloween.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
And for those of you who, of course will never
go to Neil's house because you'll never be invited, it
really is interesting. I mean Neil, especially Halloween when he
decorates man, he goes.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Balls to the wall on this one. Yeah, I hadn't
for a while. It's funny. Having a kid makes it
more difficult. But I think this year I will be
doing a full blown Hunted Mansion.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, oh yeah, it's what he does. What he does
is pretty tremendous.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Okay, it's now Ask Candle Anything Friday, August eighth, and
we now go right into the last two segments Ask
Candle Anything, And that started because everybody asks about everybody
on the show.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
If strangers ask how what's Neil like? What's John like?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
And so we try to answer personal questions at least
to people who ask. And so we started ask handle
anything where we record the questions.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So let's get right to it. Cono. First question, Hey, Bill,
did you know that Bill handles a stupid more and
with an ugly face and a big butt, and his
butt smells and he likes to kiss his own butt.
Thanks yes to all of those no questions. Yeah, that
is a statement.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, and that is you know, It's the problem is
it's in the public domain.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So delivery made me laugh.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, very strong, very very good. Okay, Cono.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Question for both Bill handle and for meal.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
If you had to choose your last meal, what would
you choose and why?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Neil? Yes, what's what would you do?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Last meal?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
For me?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Hands down would be my mom's homemade tortillas with just
a little salt and butter on them, and the birthday
cake that she would make me, which is a yellow
cake with chocolate frosting.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh, that's cool, I would do that in hertbeat.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
My last meal would be a worm casserole for my mother,
and that's because she's been dead. And very ten years
ago or fifteen years ago, you don't know that.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Maybe she's living somewhere else, maybe she's living with Elvis.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, quite possibly. All right, next question.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Hey, you're just talking about shopping at Costco different times
of the day, and I'm wondering if when you shop
at Costco you have fans that come up and a
cost you on a rag on her basis since everyone
knows now the general area where you live and they
know you're a Costco fan, And I was wondering if
they stalked you at Costco.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Yes, yes, as a matter of fact, they do. I
do get people who listen. Usually it's my voice. And
it literally just happened a couple of days ago. I
went to Costco, how unusual, and I was at the
pharmacy and I was getting my blood pressure medication and
a woman next to me recognized me and said, wow
(16:32):
your bill And I go, yeah, could I take a picture?
And she took a selfie And in the middle of it,
I turned to the pharmacists and I said, will those
pills really make my work?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
And I did it loud, so these will clear the
rash up?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
You say, nice?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
But yeah again, yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
But the answer actually is yes, people do, uh not
regularly or anything. It's not like I'm accosted, but it's
kind of fun. It's it's kind of fun to be recognized, Neil.
You get recognized, recognized, it's.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
Kind of hard to miss the fat tattooed guy with
the blue beard and the hat.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, that's true, that's true. Okay, next question.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
Last month, you and Neil had those artificial intelligence eulogies
done for you, and boy they were good as depressing
and sad.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I've been listening for twenty five years.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Anyways, where are you gonna be buried that bill?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Uh? Those fake those fake eulogies were so sad.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Anyways, when you kick it, probably soon where you're gonna
go Bob?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
So uh, yeah I do. I bought a plot years
and years ago. That's uncomfortable, No, it's yeah. I'm one
of those people that I bought a plot and pre
paid for everything because.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
That's free too.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, that's but that's tough. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
That's a stack of them.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
That's a tough one. Great story by the one.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
The bottom one on top, the guy who bought the
little mausoleum crypt above and he had himself facing down
and his wife sold it a couple of years ago
and got three million dollars for it to someone wanted
to be buried on top of Maryland Roe.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Figure that one out.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
What so they move him?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
They moved him. Yeah, that's his dying wish.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yeah, listen, he's dead and his wife maybe hooked up
with some twenty two year old pool Oh I know, yeah,
applot that.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yes, and I did. I did. I bought a plot
and prepaid for everything.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
I'm a big fan of So when I croak, the
kids have to make one phone call and that's it
and everything else, everything else is taken care of.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
So I think that's a huge gift. You can't do.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
That with a new wife.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
That's a problem because it's already been done. And that's
it isn't a Jewish cemetery. It is a Jewish cemetery,
and there isn't There lies another story.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And she's a tattooed yeah she is.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So there lies another another story. When I bought the plot,
it was up at the cheap Jewish cemetery at the
top of the San Fernando Valley. You can go to
the one in the on the west side where Al
Jolson is buried.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
That's hillside. That's expensive stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
So this is the cheap one up in off of
Ronaldi up in San Fernando and so and every jew
in the valley is buried there.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
So we go and to buy a plot and we're talking.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
I'm talking to the plot lady salesperson, and we're talking prices,
and so I say, how much is this plot? And
she goes, eight thousand dollars. I said, eight thousand dollars, which,
by the way, is cheap. Eight thousand dollars. This is
literally three by six. Do you understand you're charging eight
thousand dollars for a three by six right, that's eighteen
(19:53):
square feet. And she goes, ye know, well that's that's
the price. And I start going, oh no, no, we're
not going to do that. So she said, can I
negotiate with these Like my mom died and my dad died.
I totally negotiated with the mortuary in the cemetery. So
she said, I'll tell you what we are. We're opening
(20:14):
up a new section for only Persian people in this
part of the cemetery.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
But I'll let we'll I'll let you guys be buried there.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
You can buy a plot there for thirty percent off,
thirty percent discount. So there's my plot, and Persians I have,
they have, Persians have tombstones, and Ashkenazi Jews, Western European Jews,
Eastern European Jews don't.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
We don't believe in tombstone.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
So we just have a little plaque on the grave
side as beloved, father, beloved, you know that sort of stuff.
And so when that is full, they'll be tombstones all
over it, and right in the middle there'll be an
empty spot of some rocks on it.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yeah, pretty much. So the answer is.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Wow, what yah thirty I can't respond anything without coming
across as racist.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
So thirty percent off, okay, it's not ten percent off,
thirty percent is a substantial.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yesty, I get. I could do the math.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, So if you go up there and uh, yeah,
there's my plots, and now I have to deal with Lindsey.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Gosh, well just yeah, she's not very big.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, it's true. It's true.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's why they just shover in yours a little.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Uh, there's room, all right, Hi, this is joning from Moscow, Idaho.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I hear you talk about Barbara quite a bit, but
Pamela not so much. What does she do for a living?
And it sound much she didn't attend your wedding?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Long story so I won't go into why she'd attend
my wedding.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
But not that long you.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Uh, divorced her mother and then got married to a
younger woman and tore the family apart, tore.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
The family apart. Thank you for that?
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Okay, all right, okay, So I will okay, I will
now explain why why Barbara went to the wedding Because
she wasn't going to.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Either, No, but she found out it was in Italy. Yeah,
that's a free trip.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's exactly Yes. So Barbara said where Dad? Where she
wasn't gonna go for those reasons. And she then said Dad,
where an Orange County? Are you going to get married?
I said, Orange County? Are you out of your mind?
I've booked a castle in Italy. At that point, that moment,
(22:45):
she gave the fist, the fish moves pumping fish says
I'm in, I'm in.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So she came to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Easy questions.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, and Pamela, I talk a lot about Barbara.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Pamela is uh is doing her master's degree in computer engineering,
and she will be in school for the rest of
her life because she knows that as long as she
is in school, I will pick up the tab for everything.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
She's gonna be.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I'm almost.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Yeah, yeah, she's gonna have five PhDs by the time
this is done.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
No, dummy, Yeah, not at all. Hey, this is fun.
Let's do some more, all right.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Cono, mister handle respectfully? Sir?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Could you rather bet your dear, adorable, precious dog to
a python or had the vet put him down.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Like like what happened?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh, I'd be fascinated to hear your your take on that.
You ask that question?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Come on, if you could have, would you?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's a softball question, of course.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
What about your dying mom.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Also not a problem? Okay, moving on, Kno, husband and.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
I are thinking about going to Italy, and I know
you're familiar with it, and we don't really want to
go to the major cities like Rome and Venice, and
we were wondering what your thoughts are and experience as
far as the best little towns to go to. Okay,
thinking of Tuscany, but I think that's getting overgrown as well.
(24:24):
I appreciate your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Thank you. No, that's a good question. Tuscany is amazing.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's northern Italy and this is where Venice is and Milan,
which you don't want.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
To go to.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I say that I hate Milan and because it's an
industrial town and you know, you, you know, you go
to see you know, what's in Milan is the Last
Supper and you go and see the Last Supper and
you eh.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's really no big deal.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And so here's the town that we're in love with
where I'm probably going to end up at least part
of the Verona that's where I got married. And it's
a mi Tuscany. And driving through Tuscany, you don't have crowds.
It's a big place. It's the back it's the back woods,
(25:09):
and you have these wonderful fields and these tiny painting.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
So you drive through Tuscany, you're in a car, and
Verona is a really neat city that we know. Southern
Italy is tough. Rome, of course, is completely jammed.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I hate still gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, I just oh the history. The history is But
I'll tell you why I hate Rome. It's plastered with graffiti.
Every single wall is graffited in Rome. And imagine this.
You've got the foundations of these homes and buildings are
on Roman foundations twenty five hundred years old.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Okay, now you have foundations.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Now the building that's built on top of that is
five hundred years old, built during the Renaissance or the
sixteen maybe the seventeen hundreds, but mainly fIF teen hundred
and sixteen hundreds. Those walls are totally graffiti. Give me
a break. So that's where I suggest, the Verona area.
(26:09):
And you're an hour away from Florence, you're an hour
away from Venice. You're right in the middle. To take
a train as an hour each way. All right, we'll
do one more if we can't.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Hey handle you self. Admit, in your early days, late
teens and twenties, et cetera, you weren't quite the catch.
So did you slic women of the night ever? During
those days when you were just a fat slob and
stuff constantly?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But the good news is I actually never engaged in
sex with those women because they all said no.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
So you know, what can I tell you?
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Wow, even with money on line, I know, Hey.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
It's been a great Saturday night for me. Bill and
you know, I've.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Actually I'm actually pretty good. I was thinking it close
in early you know.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I was thinking taking the shit out down.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
No, I was never one of those because, frankly, it's
when they say, hey, you're the best I've ever had,
or man, you're good looking at give me the money
for some reason that doesn't connect with me.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Okay, we're done, guys.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
And by the way, if I had I tell you,
I'm not shy about that sort of stuff. Okay, christ
I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, we're done completely. Feene coming up,
Gary and Shannon. I'll be back tomorrow with Handle on
the Law at eight o'clock.
