Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty. I'm in the movie for food Si am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Handle here on a Foody Friday and ask Handle anything. Friday,
December fifth, twenty twenty five, we are anxiously waiting for
the draw. The FIFA Trump Games are going to happen
and it's going to be well, we have one that's
in twenty twenty six, that's coming up next year, so
(00:37):
we've got and so they draw to see which countries
are going to get it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We knew as twenty eighteen we were going to get it.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Okay, it's time for Foody Friday with Neil and we
do that for a couple of segments. Okay, let's start
right now, and we'll start with the first topic, and
that's Honeybake's new prime Rib. Now honey Bake is known for,
of course their hams. They're extraordinary spiral cut, sugary, maple
(01:06):
crusted hams which are just absolutely spectacular. Uh and they
have turkey too and have for years. Is now it's
prime rib that they're offering.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Neil absolutely, and this is a really not People are
always calling the show and looking at other options. Than
just what might normally be on the table. And although
you said turkey and ham that they're known for their
honey bake and if you've ever had a honey baked ham,
(01:37):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Now a commutely delightful Yeah, they are.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
To be real, you have a choice between a honey
baked ham or a new car.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
They're pretty pricey, but they are.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
They can't bes of meal.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh but that is. But it's a spectacular ham.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
So they're no for those things.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
And they really absolutely do it perfectly. They put this
stuff together quite well. And in this particular case, they're
adding this new prime rib offer and it's this well
seasoned roast, easy to prepare, it's got clear instructions, simple
salt and pepper, garlic rub. It starts at twenty six
(02:25):
bucks per pound, and it's fully roast.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Isn't that reasonable?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Well, it's if you get like one tenth of a pound,
I think you're pretty okay. But it you know, if
you want to have something and not go through the
intensity of fully cooking it your way, this is a
nice convenient and you're paying for that convenience because he's
(02:54):
way between three and eight pounds each.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, so yes, yesterday I did a cost run, of
course I did, and I bought two of the Costco
chickens at five bucks apiece. And you talk about some
spectacularly seasoned chickens, best chicken I know about there, and
it's not twenty six dollars a pound, but you know,
you pay for it. You go to turkeys, for example,
(03:20):
pre cooked turkeys at some of the major markets, and
I'm talking about the high end stuff Gelson's and Bristol Forums,
et cetera. Those are eighty one hundred dollars for a
twelve to fifteen pound turkey.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Well, the reality is for places like Costco, though, those
are lost leaders.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
They're just to get people in the door. They're not
making one dime.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
No, it's costing them money, you're right, But it's if
you go in and just buy chickens, you're gonna be
in good shape.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yes, if that's all you're looking for. I just thought
this was really interesting. Great for those that want this
particular item as an option. If you're the type that
goes there for turkeys, goes to honey Bake for turkeys
or for him you know, I, I know we just
had Thanksgiving a you know, a week and a day ago,
(04:14):
but I'm already craving turkey and mashed potatoes and ham
and the whole thing again when I have to go
to talli Rand, one of the only places that serves
year round Thanksgiving. But yeah, so I think this is
just a neat addition. It is expensive. We'll see. I
don't know if they deliver it. I keep trying to
(04:37):
look to see if they're going to deliver this. You
can obviously order it in advance online.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well you have to, I mean during Christmas and Thanksgiving
you have to order the honey baked in advance.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, you get like.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It's one of my pet peeves because sometimes if someone
comes in and once one you don't get it. On
more than one time I ordered it and it wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
All right, Fruity Pebbles is bringing back flavor of from
the nineties fruity Pebbles. Now, I'm not a big fan
of fruity Pebbles to begin with.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
But now they're they're like, uh, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Know, but you know the color. I know the colors,
and it's just I'm just not crazy about them. Joy
happy Yeah, yeah, I said there makes people too happy.
But let's talk about what they're bringing back.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
They're releasing a new cinnamon Pebbles flavor.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
So it's got the cinnamon.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
People love cinnamon, they love cinnamon, toast, crunch, all these things. Uh,
and they're putting it together in this this new Cereals
baked with cinnamon flavor notes of vanilla. People are already
freaking out about it, and it'll be on the shelf soon.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Now, pebbles.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
By the way, the name pebbles does not come from
what was found in those boxes, and it had to
be a recall back in the nineties, it was No,
pebbles is based on.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
What neil actual pebbles.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well, no, if I'm not mistaken, okay, if I'm not mischild, Yes,
the child in the.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Fred Fop after pebbles.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yes, I think that's I think that's where the pebbles
came from. Which pebbles or pebbles are people? No, pebbles
are friends.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
In the nineties and even back in twenty seventeen, they had,
you know, cinnamon pebbles.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, I like seed for quite some time. Yeah, I
like cinnamon flavor cereal.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I do like it. Yeah, but you know the problem,
are you? Yeah? But the problem with cereals in general.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I use whenever I eat cereal for me and a
lot of people I think agree, it's the granola type
because they don't get soggy like your your normal rice
and corn cereal that you pour milk into. And ones
that don't get soggy. Yeah, like grape nuts. Yeah, they
have to grape Yeah. Now they have to stay crispy.
(07:12):
They have to stay crispy.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
A listener, by the way, turns me on.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
To uh they just did the new camera update. It
turned me onto the cereal. If you like good crunchy cereal.
I've become a new fan of this and it is
standing by crap. I don't have it on here, I'll
get it for you. But it is such a crunchy
(07:36):
cereal and milk is no match for it. It's a
brand cereal, but it's very very good. Okay, okay, all right,
So that's coming January. Look in your favorite store. The
next one is people love baking during this time of year,
and all recipes dot com, which is a great website,
by the way, they talked to professional bakers and they
(07:59):
all agree, And this is the one that I recommend
to people. So I was excited to see that I'm
in touch with that, and that is the AP flower
or the all purpose flower unbleached by King Arthur. Huh,
the baking company. They're fantastic and they've got great recipes
on their website. But this is the flower that I
use in our home as well.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, and let me ask you, because I've always thought
that all purpose flower was sort of it's a compromise
between the flowers that you really need or use for
even high end baking, because they have many different flowers
and they tell you use flower number one or flower
(08:40):
number three or whatever the hell they there is in
terms of specific baking needs.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Well, you have you know, bread flowers that have leavening
agents in them, or have higher protein in there, they
have more gluten in there. Yes, I use high gluten
flower when I'm making you know, pizza dough or something.
And i use cake flour, which is very fine flour
(09:06):
when I'm making homemade cakes. But really, the vast majority
of what you're gonna use for most things in a
kitchen is AP flower. And it's not a bad flower,
and it's not a you're not settling. It's a great flower.
You just want it to be unbleached and all of
those things. But the vast majority of what you're gonna
(09:29):
use is gonna be a p flower. So, for example,
in a pizza okay, you're making pizza dough, you can
make that with ap flower.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And would there be would there be a difference between
a high gluten flop flower?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yes, because ap flower has less gluten. You know, I know,
I get to to eleven percent where you're gonna get
up to like fourteen percent in a high gluten or something.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Here's where I was gonna go with that, is there
is there a deser difference in terms of the pizza
dough that you want to create between the two flowers.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, depending on the type of dough you're making, like
depending sure, of course, uh, you know in double zero
is gonna be even finer. And but but for most
things you're gonna be making pie cress, all these things
you're it's it's gonna be a p flower.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's fair enough. Main flower. Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
The last one is world markets. I don't even know
they're still in business. World model.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
My god, you know what world market? Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Is a fabulous market. Not only do they sell furniture
and things from all over the world. They are a
great place during the holidays because they have small sizes
of things that are great for you know, stocking stuffers
in the light, but really wonderful spices, pizza or pasta, sauces,
(10:52):
all kinds of olive oils and candies. And it is
not to mention ornaments and beautiful things from around the world,
but if you haven't been to a world market and
some time get out there, they really are a fun
place to just go and look around. You can find
little toys there, and I mean just anything and everything there,
(11:15):
but just fun many containers of little food stuffs that
you can put into people's stockings as well as hard goods.
I always find great stuff when I go to a
world market.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now, is world markets like one of those stores where
it changes whatever you're buying or shopping for and that
they have buyers and grab deals or is it basically
the same stuff being brought in all the time.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
I would say it's a mix, a healthy mix. So
when you look at their stuff, there is stuff that
seems to be in there fairly regularly, but especially during
the holidays. I've found stuff that I've never seen anywhere
else ever. Okay, they'll change through. But yeah, they've got
one at at the at the grove of the farmers
(12:07):
Market there Glendale. They're all over the place.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, I haven't been. You know, I never lived near
a world market, so it's worth you TI. They just
did really cool, funny Yeah. I liked it when I
was there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And I love looking at the furniture because they have
furniture from baskets from India and things from Thailand and stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
From Germany and.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And it's lovely and good prices. Yeah, it's a fun place,
big fan.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Okay, Well, we are done with foody Friday, by the way,
tomorrow it's the Fork Report from two to five pm
that Neil hosts. It's all about food. And that's one
of the shows that I actually listened to. Well, I
listened to all of them. No I don't, but it
is one of the my favorite shows.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Sure it doesn't poor you Bill.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, no it does. That's why I don't listen to
it very long. I didn't say how long I listened
to the show. I just said I listened to.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
The show dummy.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh okay, all right, Friday, last two segments just one
of my favorite topics. Or segments ask handle Anything, and
the rules are always the same. People record the questions,
and what Neil does is choose the questions that are
the most embarrassing and humiliating for me generally. And so
(13:32):
let's get started with the first question of ask handle Anything.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Sometimes I just wonder if you ever get tired of
being an ass? I mean, you do this shock factor thing,
and do you really think it's funny some of the
things you say, because a lot of people don't. But
I will say this, sometimes you can be very entertaining.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No, and no, I do not get tired of doing this,
and I do not get tired of being an ass
and do a lot of people think that I'm not funny,
So go screw yourselves.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And the rest of them. Okay, next question.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I love how at the end though, she goes, but
I do find you entertaining.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Yeah, balanced, No, it.
Speaker 2 (18:30):

Unlike unlike Fox, we really are fair and balanced in
the hate category.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
We do have a wonderful working relationship. I must say,
we do argue.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Lindsey, your new wife answered the exact same way.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
That is correct also and sometimes no, sometimes I hate
him and sometimes I hate him more more questions of
ask handle anything?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Hey Bill, This is Dave. Hey man.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I just wanted to tell you I tried your Zelman's
mint and it's sure enough. They got rid of the zachlies.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You know what exaclyes are. That's when your breast smells
exactly like their butt.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
Just thought i'd let you know.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
That's our new commercial.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
I'm telling you right now, that is the new Zelman's spot.
Get rid of the one hundred percent. It gets rid
of the Zachlyes. Wow, thank you for that. Usually it's
a question that's asked because I don't take statements.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
But sir Neil, you're right that that absolutely deserved.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Is Yeah, that deserved to mention as well as my
new Zelman spot.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, moving on, Hey.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Bill, this is Jean ju Ju. I'm Jewish just like you.
I hate jew bagels. And my question is why do
our Jewish people think that we're Jewish because our mother
was Jewish when SI typically of our DNA comes from
our dad.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's actually a good question. I'll tell you why. I mean,
this is a serious answer. You don't usually I just
have a ripper in good time. Because historically, and this
is history, is that Jews have been persecuted all over
the world, as you know, and for example the Pogrims
in Europe, poland parts of Russia. What happened is the
(20:30):
armies would come in and rape the women and rape
the Jewish women. So you couldn't tell who the father is,
but you could always tell who the mother is. So
that's why Jewishness flows through the mother and it has
nothing to do at all with the genetic background.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
No.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Well, and on that note, by the way, it's it's
fifty to fifty your genetics.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Oh okay, well, yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, no, that's that's right. This guy doesn't know what
he's talking about, but it's a good question. And that's
why Judaism someone being Jewish flows through the mother because
of well, you know the issue that I just talked about.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Well, you always know who the mother is.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
That's exactly the point. That's the point. And you have
as a father some crazy ass Cosak that has gone
through and raped the women and pillaged and burnt down
homes and killed everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
All right, cosak Pi that liked lollipops from.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yes, yes, yes, that was Kosak.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Okay, okay, moving on.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
Bill, This question is I don't know, maybe he's kind
of going to the archives of your brain, your mind,
but I don't know how long you've been like.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
In southern California. But my curiosity or my question is
where did you shop before Costco arrived? And by that
I mean maybe you shop like at Zodi's or White Front.
Oh yeah, yes, I shot the Zodi's.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I remember Zodie's, and I remember Kmart, and there were
bunch of stores. There's Akron that was here, Alpha Beta.
Do you remember that market? Alpha Betas matter of fact,
I broke into broadcasting at an Alpha Beta store when
I was a box boy, and they let me announce
(22:15):
the chickens on sale just before the show.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Closed, or before the store closed. Ladies and gentlemen, the
store's calling closing in half an hour.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Chickens are now on sale, And I would they let
me do the Inner brown.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Bag or Fazzio's. No, No, those were two Southern California.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah don't.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I don't remember those, But yeah, I mean I shopped
at all those places. Of course, white in Southern California, Kmart,
I don't remember Gemco, I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Okay, do we have more?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Bill says when he retires he wants to live in Italy.
He said he was brought here by his parents in
nineteen fifty seven when he was eleven years old. Period.
That makes Bill well past retirement age period. How long
does he plan to live to be able to really
enjoy a retirement in Italy?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Period? Period? Okay, Well, I think she was texting.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I know well, Bill thinks.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
First of all, Bill wants to do some math.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
I came here in nineteen fifty seven I was not
naturalized as an American until what five years later, so
that's when I became an American citizen. And when do
I plan on retiring? I got to tell you, it's
what the hell do I do? I have no hobby,
(23:43):
no friends, I hate my family. I don't play cards.
I don't play golf with anybody. I seriously, I don't
know what I would do. And you know, and this show,
I mean, it's a you know, it's a good gig.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Every time Gary Hoffman's not nice to you, you extend
your contract by five years.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And my commute it's a thirty foot commute, so it's
not bad.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
That's actually a very good question.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Yes, I'm gonna spend part of them when I retire,
I'm going to spend part of the year in Italy.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
And they go, You're gonna buy a house.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, I'm gonna rent, and I'm gonna be part time
there and part time here, hopefully part time there for
six months and one day. Because we have the issue,
of course of taxes state income tax, which we have
among the highest in the country. And then you can
do that if you've gone for over six months all right, guys,
I think we're done. That's it. It is a Friday.
(24:41):
Pretty good questions this time around, Neil. Some of them
were moronic, which I really enjoy. Some of them made
me maronic, which I enjoy even more. And we're absolutely done.
Gary and Shannon are on next. And I want to
thank my Morning crew. Well, let me put it this way.
I should thank my Morning crew for helping me with
(25:05):
this award winning show, but I will not be doing that.
As a matter of fact, I will never be doing that.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
You want to hit us up with how much money
your auction item raised again before we go?
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Of course you're a little outdated on Monday.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Forty two thousand dollars my auction money or my auction raised?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
All right, Monday morning we start all over again with
Amy and Will and then of course Neil and I
come aboard from six to nine, and Cono and Ann
are always there to make the show run as well
as it does, runs as well as they does.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Fie, you've been listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Catch My Show Monday through Friday six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
