Speaker 2 (01:00):
Year.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's what I do, Okay, what I do. Happy New
Year to you, Day two of twenty twenty six. I'm
very optimistic, not because it's a new year, but because
I don't know, even when things aren't so great, they're
still pretty great. And I'm very very much I am
in a state of being grateful and walked out of
(01:22):
here yesterday in the rain at the studio and just
turned on my camera and thanked you for you know,
thirty years and change of being at this place and
your dedication to KFI and all those things. If you
want to join me on social media, please do at
(01:43):
fok Reporter. At fork Reporter. Instagram is where I am mostly,
but you can find me everywhere else there. And if
you like to make things, I do have a new
Instagram which is just the making side of me. I
have a shop at home. I like to fix and
make things, three D printer, laser cut, utter see and
c machines, all kinds of things like that. You can
(02:05):
join me on Savco Industries saav coo Industries, and that's
me just making stuff, working in my shop. And if
you are an artist or a maker of any kind,
I'd love to follow you back, so let me know,
all right, new laws for twenty twenty six. There's a
(02:28):
lot of things. We did some of these the other day,
but they there's so many of them that it's like,
oh my gosh. You know, there's it's very hard to
keep up with these things, as you know what changes
a lot of times. And I was talking with Heather
Brooker about this, like the end of the plastic bags.
Some of them just feel like haven't we jumped through
(02:49):
this hoop before? And so you go back and forth
with and go where are we at this? It's like
he loves me, he loves me? Not are we back
at he loves me? Or are we back at he
loves me?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Not?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So a couple of things, the end of plastic bags,
those thick reusable ones or what they're talking about. Now
the logic just isn't there the problem. I don't want
the Earth to die, but here's here's the rub. And
(03:22):
people never understand when I say this, The Earth is fine.
Nothing's going to happen to the Earth. You and I
might die, you know, it might become uninhabitable, but the
Earth is going to be fine. It's been through a
lot of things that hole the Earth has a favor. Yes,
there are things that are happening, but you know who
(03:46):
created the ice age. We weren't here for that. So
there are things that happen to the planet that are
going to continue to happen to the planet. I think
at this point it's going to be about innovation, not conservation.
Even though I think we should conserve when you can.
I think we we're going to have to invent. But
we keep going back and forth because the problem is
(04:08):
us we're living or breathing, we're existing, our existence, Yes,
taxes the planet, but you know what your existence taxes me,
just like my existence taxes you. That we exist and
we keep looking for ways to keep us from existing.
Maybe if we don't belch, things will be better, or
(04:32):
you know, we're going to come up with new ways
to filter, to understand to do these things. But the
back and forth with the plastic bags always drives me nuts.
Fertility for all, I love this large health plans must
now cover infertility treatments, including IVF, regardless of the person's
sexual orientation or gender identity identity. I think that children,
(04:59):
I almost children are our future. And then I was
going to start breaking out, well let them show them, yeah, exactly,
just jump into song there. But I think that that
is important. It's incredibly expensive and having access to that.
For whatever reason, more and more of the people that
(05:20):
I talked to that want to have children have to
go down the IVF route. Now I'm not sure what
that is and why that's causing it, but that's important.
Another one on this list thirty five dollars insulin out
of pocket costs for a thirty day supply. They're going
to cap at thirty five bucks for group plans. Now
(05:41):
you've got eleven dollars pens available through the state's calor
X program, and I think that that's super duper important
it it does not have to be this expensive. It's
asinine that our medical system are a fantastic country.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Am I biased? Yeah, I'm very biased. I think it's
the greatest country in the world. And I know it's
very popular not to have that view anymore, but I'm
one of those people that you know, is support the
country you're in, or go to the country you support.
It's like, this is a great country. An opportunity is everywhere.
(06:26):
That's why people come here in mass We need to
get medicine under control. Medicine medical bills are ridoculous here
in America. The mask ban for officers silly little thing
when it comes to federal law, and I think it's
(06:49):
absurd to go back and forth the whole thing about
mandate masks for the protection of people when it came
to COVID and that, and then mandate no masks. You
know what, if you're going to do that, then mandate
no masks in public air in public businesses, because there
(07:12):
are people that are wearing masks to rob and to
run in and smash and grab, and for the protection
of businesses do that. But the reality is with doxing
and the stuff that people do. I do not want
a military state more any more than anyone else. And
(07:33):
I am not thrilled about the way the undocumented and
undocumented you can call them in illegal aliens, whatever you want,
doesn't bother me. But I will tell you the way
that that's being handled, and even some American citizens as well,
is ridiculous. We're better than that. There's better ways to
do that. So those kinds of things, it's it just
(07:55):
is for show, doesn't mean anything. It's just grandstanding. Sexual
assault justice new two year window has opened for survivors
to file civil claims for assaults that happened after the
age of eighteen, even if the statue of limitations has passed.
Easier divorce kind of a bummer. Divorce to be easy,
(08:21):
Maybe getting married should be harder. May you have to
take tests or something? Did you have to do that.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
When we got married, Well we didn't have to, but
my husband and I had to go to counseling. Yeah,
pre marriage counseling, you.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Know, Yeah, I did that with the first marriage that
lasted a year second marriage. I just have found a
more compatible and I have zero beef with my first wife.
She's a lovely person. I think she's happier and I'm
happier now, so that's a good thing. But it is funny.
We did all that, and you work hard for those
(08:56):
things and you never ever know. Delivery accountability services like
Uber eats and door dash must provide full refunds for
missing or wrong orders and offer human staffed customer support.
You know, yes, I think that's great, But I've never
had a problem.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh I've had wrong orders all the time.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
No, I mean I've had that, but I've never had
a problem with them them giving the money right back.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, lately I haven't. But there's never anybody you can
talk to if there's an issue, like if your Uber
person keeps your food or during COVID is when I
mostly had the problems, like we ordered stuff from the
store and people just keep like batches of toilet paper
or you know whatever. They would just get when they're
delivering when the drivers, Yeah, they would just keep them.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That happened multiple times.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And sell them on the black market. I guess we
never we always have a regular stock. We never stocked
up on anything during that time, and we're fine.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, well we weren't stocking up. It was just like
a regular like run.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
To do you know what I'm saying, Like, if you
have that pattern of once it's off, once you see
it coming off the shelf, to reorder, that cycle, that
normal cycle, Yeah, then we were fine. It's like you
just my wife's that way. Oh we're down to two.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
It's never yeh.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
The shelf is never empty. God bless her. That saved us.
So we never ever had to deal with any of
that chaos. But there is there is something about when
you're having things delivered and you're like, seriously, we got
three things we didn't order and none of the things
that we did. But I never had a problem either
(10:35):
calling or using the digital service, you know, texting or
something going back and forth saying hey this is a problem,
I'm going not a problem. We put it back in
your account. There you go, but yes, it should be done,
all right. More to come. How to eat like a
super ager. These are the people that are fanatic about
living forever and what they eat. Yeah, we come back.
(11:01):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio. App Hey, everybody,
it's Bill Handle's show, Neil Savadra and the morning crew
today here with Heather Brooker and samza Is on the board.
We've got Trey Alexander in for Will giving us the traffic,
and Matthew in four and producing all this. Hey, thanks
(11:22):
to those of you who reached out and joined me
on Instagram on my personal one. I mean they're both
my personal one. I run both of them, but this
is like my maker one. This is like my little baby.
What I do when I'm not doing radio and hanging
out with my family is making stuff that's at Savco
Industries on Instagram saa v COO Industries. And I love
(11:50):
this crooked finger woodworks looking at some of the people. Gosh,
I love woodworkers. That is gorgeous. There's something about people
making lazy dogs shop. I will follow anybody back who
is a maker or I see that they've got stuff
that they make on there their Instagram as well, because
(12:12):
I love the inspiration of it. But again, you can
join me either at Folk Reporter, which is my general one,
or my special super secret. This is the life behind
my shop curtain at Sevco Industries. But thanks so much
for popping on there. There's a lot on there. Oh
(12:34):
and Heather Brooker, she seems neat. I'm well follow her.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
She seems like have I followed Safco And I was like,
oh my gosh, So I needed to correct that right away.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Well, thank you, my friend. I appreciate that I got you. Yeah,
there's a rule that I have. You go through literature,
you go through film, television, plays, everything in life, religion,
all these things, the good create, the bad destroy. And
I think that and you have this exact same energy Heather,
(13:05):
is that you create. And I think that most people do.
There that desire to make things. I think is is
very cool. You know what, maybe we'll do that when
we come back as well, open the phones and talk
to people of what they're what they're making or planning
to make in twenty twenty six. I just I think
that it is It shows a lot about a person,
(13:28):
if they fix, if they make.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
If they create.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, I just I don't know, So maybe we'll do that,
all right, So to eat like a super ager? Now
are these superagers? There are people that you know they
look at these evidence based habits And I said, if
you lived past eighty my mom is turning eighty eight
on the eleventh, so she's got eight days, no nine days, sorry,
(13:58):
carry the one. She's gonna turn eighty eight.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah, she got that strong European stock, so white side
of my family we live forever. The Mexican side of
my family, like all my uncles died before they were
sixty I think was now my uncle John. I'm trying
to think when he passed. Maybe he was sixty seven.
But yeah, and my dad lived to seventy three, and
(14:25):
I hope I can live past that because that seems
so young these days. That was twenty one years ago.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
My mom's gonna be eighty in February.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
She's gonna hit the eighty year mark in February. She's
beat cancer twice.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, like a dog three times. Actually, I'm sorry I
forgot about it.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Beat cancer like a dog. She owned it. God bless her.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
You know what my husband calls her a tank.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah. Well, that's that's kind of you, just that you're
built that way. And you know, I told my mom,
you're not going anywhere. Just live to look, you know,
learn to live with limitations, because we all do every age.
We live with a new limitation. That's just the way
it is in life. And if you you get to
you know, that place, you just have to understand. Okay,
(15:08):
these are limitations, but I still got lots of living
to do. Yeah. So uh, and it's handle about being
old all the time. He's really not.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I mean, but we have to news, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But I will tell you I think our seasoned citizens,
as Rush used to call them, are incredibly important. They
are a wealth of information. I love talking to people
that have lived, and I think they are a huge
resource to the community that I don't know that we
always tap into properly. I mean, the things that they've
(15:45):
seen and done and understood anyway. So I you know,
I like that aspect of living. But I'm going to
tell you something that I've learned in my over a
decade of doing the Fork Report and talking to every
chef you could imagine and dietitians and nutritionis and everything.
Every year they come out with a list of the diets,
(16:08):
the least healthy diets, and at the top of the
list almost every year is those protein high protein diets.
You know, is it Adkins. I don't know if it's
Adkins maybe, but those Mediterranean or no, no, no, no. The
when you go to a fad diet, so when you're
(16:33):
knocking your body into katosis. But here's the thing, because
it's just it's horrible and your kidney and all that.
The one thing I hear every single time, and this
is kind of whittling the story into this. The Mediterranean diet,
healthy nuts, your proteins coming from low fat fish, fruits, vegetables,
(16:59):
all of these. The Mediterranean diet is the only food schedule.
I hate calling a diet, but list of ingredients that
you could eat on a daily basis, and you would
get healthier just by eating it. Hands down, there is
(17:21):
nothing else that compares to it. Ever, Mediterranean food is the.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Only diet my doctor has consistently recommended, the only one.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Anybody that has ever done any research will tell you about.
Everything else falls into the fad category or deprivation, deprive
yourself of this, of that or whatever. But you have
you know, non fat Greek yogurt top with blueberry strawberries, granola,
(17:55):
mixed walnuts, almonds, peanuts, salad of lettuce and treaded carriage tomatoes.
I mean these things and they're good, but trust me,
I am not the person to be giving you diet tips,
but I am telling you strictly based on my contact
with people in the know, and it is nothing compares
(18:18):
to it the Mediterranean food, shish kabobs and these types
of things. It's just very good and uh healthful and nutritious.
And really, anybody that tells you differently the deprivation stuff
or just eat you know, the kidney diet or this
(18:40):
or that, it's all wrong unless your doctor says, because
of your physical restraints or whatever it is, you can't
eat this, that or the other. The Mediterranean diet comes
out every year on top, every year on top, and
if you're looking for longevity, that is the place to go.
(19:02):
So there's that. So enjoy that, you know what. So
let's open the phones. Is is Matthew in there? Okay? Matthew?
So I'm going to open the phones. Eight hundred five
two zero one five three four eight hundred five two
zero one five three four. What are you making or
fixing right now? I'm a big fan of making. I'm
a big fan of fixing. And maybe you're you've got
(19:23):
a plan for the new year, whatever it is. I
think good people create, bad people destroy I want to
hear the good people that are making stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
When we come back, I've got some talkbacks coming into people.
I'm responding to you as well.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
All right, eight hundred five two zero one five three four.
When we come back.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Hey,
good second day of January. Happy Friday to you. We're
in twenty twenty six. It's Neil Savadra and the Morning Crew.
Bill Handle. Back on Monday. I'll be taking the week off,
be nice, hanging out with the family. My boy Max
gets one more week that we can enjoy together as
(20:11):
a family doing our goofiness. The three of us are
really really a weird threesome.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Very there's something special about being a family of three.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Get really close.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, you know, I thought about that the other day.
Listening to you with your family and then meeting them
the other day. Is I'm like, that's they're the same
as us. Yeah, you have that, you know. I come
from a huge family. I have five brothers and one sister,
so and I love it. I never thought. And my
wife has a pair of twin boys, brothers, and then
a younger sister. So that's a fairly sizable family too nowadays.
(20:48):
And then we have you know, this one boy that
I joke about spoiling to death, and you know, when
I tell them you're spoiled, he's like, who's spoiling me? Right,
not spoil myself?
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Your father?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, look in the mirror. But you know, the the
family thing is always a huge to me, and that's
really been paramount is focusing on that. Hey, so this
is what I want to do. Kind of a change
of direction. Thanks Matthew for I'm like, way different than
handle Handles. Doesn't like anything changed, make some nervous. I'm like, yeah,
(21:23):
it's like, I'm like, let's just go. I feel like
talking to people that create, like I said, and you
folks have been joining me on Instagram. Thanks for doing that.
My my making Instagram kind of my personal this is
what I like doing. Stuff is Savco Industries. That's SAA

with Resin. This is gorgeous stuff. So yeah, and if
(22:20):
you're an artist or something, I'll follow you back on there.
You're a maker, So I got me thinking about makers.
I love makers. Good people create, bad people destroy, and
that's always been how I think. And so twenty twenty
six is going to be another year of creating for me.
This will be the year that I finally start making
(22:42):
a full size art two D two from scratch.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
I cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I'm working on one now that is, which is kind
of modifying one that Home Depot put out this year
for the holidays, and I'm bringing it up to more
movie accuracy. But I'm going to start from scratch on
one project and I make I make movie props replicas
and fix things around the house and do work at
(23:11):
our cabin, redecorating and building things and stuff. And I
like being handy. Is R two D two gonna make noise? Yeah?
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I don't know he'll move because I've seen like stand
still versions of it that don't make any sound, This
don't acts.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
This will be the full lights. This will be the
one I'm doing now is modifying that home deep A
one and it will move awesome, it will move. And
my buddy Matt at at Junk Droids, his stuff is great.
He's on at sea and stuff like that. I've been
getting a lot of his stuff and modifying it for this.
(23:50):
It's just it's a fun little project. But I want
to do one from scratch. It'll probably be a couple
of year project at least, but I'd like to hear
from you. If you're building something or making something for
the new year, hit us up on the phone lines
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Eight
hundred five two zero one five three four. Let's talk
(24:11):
to Rich. Rich. Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Good morning, Neil.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Anybody I cannot help but wonder what kind of a
renaissance man you are? You literally make me feel ashamed.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, it's called ADHD. It's really it's like, oh, look
at that, you know what. I love learning things and
there's so many good teachers out there, and I don't
mean formal teachers, but people that want to share insights.
YouTube is filled with great creators and makers. Many of
them have become friends, and I just I just love
(24:48):
sharing information that people have shared with me. But my
wife probably wishes I had less hobbies. But it's fun.
So what's going on with you, Richiere? Building anything this year?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Well, yes, I am. I'm trying. I'm migrating my data
image data from an old Macintosh Mac Pro to a
new Mac studio. And I'm now seventy six years old,
and I'm going, oh, this was a lot easier when
I was younger.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, here's the here's the thing, rich is, we don't
stick with it. It's easier to learn things in increments
rather than all, you know, some big massive thing. So
to me, I have forced myself. I was on the
Mac wagon very early on as a young artist and designer.
(25:39):
I did textiles and stuff, silk screening, T shirts and
stuff like that. Worked for a company as the in
house artist, and they brought in the late eighties, I
think they brought in a company named Apple that was
going they were going to show me their computer. I'm like,
who wants that? It's a glorified type setter. I don't
need that. Yeah, And so I came kicking and streaming,
(26:02):
and now I am full fledged. I have a Mac
studio at home as well. It's a great little machine.
So yeah, it just you'll find that it doesn't you know,
A car is a car is a car. They have
some differences in certain things or the way it's handled,
but they all kind of have the same guts in them.
(26:24):
So you can do it. I believe in you, and
if not, then that's what.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
The thing is is that everything's changing. So we had
the spinning hard drives, and now we have the solid stalls, yes,
solid state drives, and you have blutes Thunderbolt too, which
was the old machine. I'm going to figure out how
to make it talk to Thunderbolt five and it's it's
(26:53):
how should I say it? It's awesome and it's wonderful
and hopefully it will we'll keep me thinking for another
few years.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
That's the thing. That's that's it exactly. It rich you
got to use that brain that way, And coming from
somebody sitting behind this mic this morning, that will tell you.
I don't throw away my Mac stuff. So I still
got scuzzy cables that I'm you know, have to connect
things to and every once in a while, I have
to pull things out of storage because I find an
(27:25):
old piece of art. Think keep in mind, since nineteen
ninety four or so, I've been creating billboards and designing
stuff alongside people like Bill Lewis back in the day
here at KFI. So I have really old KFI documents
that I have to pull every once in a while
that are all on these old you know, different things
(27:48):
that I haven't used in a long time. So keep
it up. I believe in you, Rich, you can do it,
and keep me posted on your success. There, let's see
what I wanted to there's a really cool where are you?
Somebody called in here? Can you bring me up on?
(28:12):
Can you bring my computer? Aut pleaser? All right, let's
listen here. This is from Steve.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
Good morning, Neil and Heather. For this new year, I
am restoring my nineteen sixty five Mustang. Just started on
it and already finding more problems and more problems.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
But I guess that's part of the of the Fundah.
Have a good one you guys, Happy New Year, Happy
new year to you. That is awesome, And that is
one of my favorite cars, the uh it is such
a beautiful vehicle. And if you've never seen one, but
those original pony cars are just so stunning. I've actually
(28:55):
driven one before. A friend of mine had one and
it was impeccable. And if you bring those things back
to their original state, they are just so stunning. All right,
talking about what you're making, what you create in for
the new Year, I'm a big believer those who create
are good, those who destroy are bad. But it's a
very simple way of looking at life. So I want
(29:16):
to hear what you're creating, because I think you're good. Also,
you can give us a call at eight hundred five
to zero one five three four eight hundred five to
zero one five three four KFI EIGHTM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good Friday morning to you,
and I'll be with you tomorrow with a four report
from two to five. So join me there, won't you
(29:37):
looking forward to that. I'm just thrilled many of you
are joining me on my side in my side Instagram
at Savco Industries on Instagram saav coo Industries, and many
of you are artists and makers. And I'm looking through
(29:58):
some of these things right now now of people that
create and make things, and I'm trying to follow everybody
back and look at what everybody's doing. But there was
one very interesting one. And where did I put you?
You little one? Oh? So this is Eric Fox Fox
First on the scene. Is his photography, Fox Underscore First
(30:22):
Underscore on Underscore Scene Underscore photography.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Whow but.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Amazing stuff. Retired LEO Law Enforcement officer. Thank you for
your service, Eric, But looking he's on the scene for sure. Beautiful,
beautiful shots. So if you want to join me there,
we're talking about making. I've said it before, I will
say it again that good people create, bad people destroy. Now,
(30:50):
sometimes you have to destroy something to build something else.
That's different. But as far as creation, I think now
on the religious side of things, I believe that that's
the nature of God, that when we're creating in the
image of God, it's as creators we desire to make things.
And so I'm just taking some calls this morning on
(31:11):
what you're making or planning on making in twenty twenty six.
But if you're working on something, I want to hear
from you as well. This one comes from it looks
like John. This is one on the talk back.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Good morning, mister Savedra, Good morning. I really enjoy when
you fill in. I'm finishing a bathroom that I uh
started eight years ago, ended up half of it demolished
behind the wall behind the new tub I installed. So
right now, at this time, I'm finishing the second half
(31:46):
and it's going quite well. I live in alcohol and
the house is raised, so it's easy to work on
and going well. Thank you, you know that's the truth.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I live on a raised house, a raised foundation as well,
and you could practically walk underneath it. It does make
it much easier to run to do things, you know,
run cat six or whatever I've had to do in
the past, and just get under there. But trust me,
I've had those projects and people go eight years. But
I'm going to tell you something, John, I have been there.
(32:17):
And you think I'm going to get to that, I'm
going to get to that. I'm going to get to that,
and I believe that you will get to it. So
keep on trucking there. Let's go to the phones now
and talk with Star Star. Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Hi, thank you, it's so nice to get to speak
to you.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh the pleasure's mind. So what do you do to create?
Speaker 9 (32:36):
I trust something called crafting cat cartoons? That I put
on Facebook and now Instagram. It's about a little cat
family and friends that have some laughs with arts and
crafts and it's fun for everyone, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, so wait, where can we find you?
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I'm on a lot of them are on Facebook and
I just started putting some on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
And crafting cats is that what you said?
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Crafting? Crafting cat cartoons.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
And some that's right now cartoons because I would like
to follow that as well. So, Star Demour, is that
how you produce your name?
Speaker 9 (33:17):
Yeah? It is very good.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Following you and these are cute as hell.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
Thank you, and I will follow you too as soon
as I can get my computer to start working this morning.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Well, uh, you can deal with I think Rich called
earlier dealing with computer problems. We should start a dating
app for those having to deal with that. Thanks for
calling Star. Uh what is this ish? Is that for real?
Is h?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes? Well it's sure for.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Oh it's also something people say instead of the S words.
So I was just curious, you know all that ish? Okay,
so what do you build an ish?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I'm not I have a proposal for you.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Oh please.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay. Instructibles, yes, it's for makers.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, instructibles is a website and where people put photos
or video or step by step of how to make things.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
If my memory serves me correctly, about four years ago,
four and a half years ago, I've seen a thing
called a swear bear. Uh huh. It's a little bear
that will tell you when your swear swear. You know.
(34:40):
So what it does? Uh, I'm not that well aptituded
to this guy. I haven't done this in years. I
think the last thing I put together was a was
a TV called a heath kit that.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Was about Oh I remember those heath kits. I think
that company is still around.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah. But anyhow, what this little bear does is when
somebody swores you look it up, for example, to what
they call a dump button, uh huh, and it'll automatically
turn it on a tool dumping.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
It'll turn on the bear and dump it.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
No, it'll turn on the dump button. You know what
a dump button is.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Well, yeah, we have them here at the station. The
dump button is good. Yeah, we have them so that
we can you know, cut it if somebody says something.
But I'm not sure what this means.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Well, what that means is, uh, Shannon doesn't get the
vacation time. You saved the money from the fines from
their c.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Goes on, Okay, well we do have we do have
a dump button, but yeah, there are There is a
swear bear on in Instructibles at unstructibles dot com that
has five steps and it says do you swear too much?
Don't worry? This artificial intelligence powered Internet of Things enabled
(36:13):
that just means that you can control them over the internet.
Swear jar is here to help. That's interesting. So it
listens to your every word detext profanity via AI and
then when caught, it instantly tells you in a very
public data system, not only revealing that you committed this crime,
(36:33):
but it basically punishes you for doing that. That's creepy
as hell, but kind of interesting. Robbie in Riverside, Welcome
to KFI.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (36:48):
I don't know if you're interested in the stuff I do,
but I started.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
Bringing in hummingbirds and now I make fountains for them
and hummingbirds seedters.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Oh no, I'm kidding. Why wouldn't I be interested in that?
Speaker 9 (37:01):
When you're making robots and different things.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I looked at your Instagram and I.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Just followed you with hours.
Speaker 9 (37:06):
We're under Robby and Gary gardner easy and it's amazing
the stuff you can make. And people want to buy fountains,
but it's so easy to make.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
But I love that. That's the Here's the thing. I
see so much being thrown out, you know, and you
and I go, you know what, that could be repurposed.
You could pull it apart and use it for something else,
or you can just refurbish it. And I'm a huge
If you ever go on YouTube, look for those that
restore things. It's amazing. I will go down. My brother
(37:36):
Craig and I were just talking about this the other day,
go down these rabbit holes of people making or refurbishing things,
and it Sometimes these are things made in the eighteen
hundreds that just need you know, cheese cutters, all kinds
of weird things that you go, that's beautiful, and they
refurbish them. But I think that's wonderful. Hummingbirds are gorgeous,
(37:58):
for one, and watching them is amazing, So I think that. No,
I'm not a maker snob. I love anything and everything,
the slightest, most simplest tools. Watching somebody do orgami is
amazing to me. All these things are beautiful to me.
You know what, I know, we are going to go
(38:18):
into footy Friday. But I'm enjoying this. So if you have,
if you're making something for twenty twenty six, or you're
working on something right now, all makers, artists, I want

Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's what I do, Okay, what I do. Happy New
Year to you, Day two of twenty twenty six. I'm
very optimistic, not because it's a new year, but because
I don't know, even when things aren't so great, they're
still pretty great. And I'm very very much I am
in a state of being grateful and walked out of
(01:22):
here yesterday in the rain at the studio and just
turned on my camera and thanked you for you know,
thirty years and change of being at this place and
your dedication to KFI and all those things. If you
want to join me on social media, please do at
(01:43):
fok Reporter. At fork Reporter. Instagram is where I am mostly,
but you can find me everywhere else there. And if
you like to make things, I do have a new
Instagram which is just the making side of me. I
have a shop at home. I like to fix and
make things, three D printer, laser cut, utter see and
c machines, all kinds of things like that. You can
(02:05):
join me on Savco Industries saav coo Industries, and that's
me just making stuff, working in my shop. And if
you are an artist or a maker of any kind,
I'd love to follow you back, so let me know,
all right, new laws for twenty twenty six. There's a
(02:28):
lot of things. We did some of these the other day,
but they there's so many of them that it's like,
oh my gosh. You know, there's it's very hard to
keep up with these things, as you know what changes
a lot of times. And I was talking with Heather
Brooker about this, like the end of the plastic bags.
Some of them just feel like haven't we jumped through
(02:49):
this hoop before? And so you go back and forth
with and go where are we at this? It's like
he loves me, he loves me? Not are we back
at he loves me? Or are we back at he
loves me?
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Not?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So a couple of things, the end of plastic bags,
those thick reusable ones or what they're talking about. Now
the logic just isn't there the problem. I don't want
the Earth to die, but here's here's the rub. And
(03:22):
people never understand when I say this, The Earth is fine.
Nothing's going to happen to the Earth. You and I
might die, you know, it might become uninhabitable, but the
Earth is going to be fine. It's been through a
lot of things that hole the Earth has a favor. Yes,
there are things that are happening, but you know who
(03:46):
created the ice age. We weren't here for that. So
there are things that happen to the planet that are
going to continue to happen to the planet. I think
at this point it's going to be about innovation, not conservation.
Even though I think we should conserve when you can.
I think we we're going to have to invent. But
we keep going back and forth because the problem is
(04:08):
us we're living or breathing, we're existing, our existence, Yes,
taxes the planet, but you know what your existence taxes me,
just like my existence taxes you. That we exist and
we keep looking for ways to keep us from existing.
Maybe if we don't belch, things will be better, or
(04:32):
you know, we're going to come up with new ways
to filter, to understand to do these things. But the
back and forth with the plastic bags always drives me nuts.
Fertility for all, I love this large health plans must
now cover infertility treatments, including IVF, regardless of the person's
sexual orientation or gender identity identity. I think that children,
(04:59):
I almost children are our future. And then I was
going to start breaking out, well let them show them, yeah, exactly,
just jump into song there. But I think that that
is important. It's incredibly expensive and having access to that.
For whatever reason, more and more of the people that
(05:20):
I talked to that want to have children have to
go down the IVF route. Now I'm not sure what
that is and why that's causing it, but that's important.
Another one on this list thirty five dollars insulin out
of pocket costs for a thirty day supply. They're going
to cap at thirty five bucks for group plans. Now
(05:41):
you've got eleven dollars pens available through the state's calor
X program, and I think that that's super duper important
it it does not have to be this expensive. It's
asinine that our medical system are a fantastic country.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Am I biased? Yeah, I'm very biased. I think it's
the greatest country in the world. And I know it's
very popular not to have that view anymore, but I'm
one of those people that you know, is support the
country you're in, or go to the country you support.
It's like, this is a great country. An opportunity is everywhere.
(06:26):
That's why people come here in mass We need to
get medicine under control. Medicine medical bills are ridoculous here
in America. The mask ban for officers silly little thing
when it comes to federal law, and I think it's
(06:49):
absurd to go back and forth the whole thing about
mandate masks for the protection of people when it came
to COVID and that, and then mandate no masks. You
know what, if you're going to do that, then mandate
no masks in public air in public businesses, because there
(07:12):
are people that are wearing masks to rob and to
run in and smash and grab, and for the protection
of businesses do that. But the reality is with doxing
and the stuff that people do. I do not want
a military state more any more than anyone else. And
(07:33):
I am not thrilled about the way the undocumented and
undocumented you can call them in illegal aliens, whatever you want,
doesn't bother me. But I will tell you the way
that that's being handled, and even some American citizens as well,
is ridiculous. We're better than that. There's better ways to
do that. So those kinds of things, it's it just
(07:55):
is for show, doesn't mean anything. It's just grandstanding. Sexual
assault justice new two year window has opened for survivors
to file civil claims for assaults that happened after the
age of eighteen, even if the statue of limitations has passed.
Easier divorce kind of a bummer. Divorce to be easy,
(08:21):
Maybe getting married should be harder. May you have to
take tests or something? Did you have to do that.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
When we got married, Well we didn't have to, but
my husband and I had to go to counseling. Yeah,
pre marriage counseling, you.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Know, Yeah, I did that with the first marriage that
lasted a year second marriage. I just have found a
more compatible and I have zero beef with my first wife.
She's a lovely person. I think she's happier and I'm
happier now, so that's a good thing. But it is funny.
We did all that, and you work hard for those
(08:56):
things and you never ever know. Delivery accountability services like
Uber eats and door dash must provide full refunds for
missing or wrong orders and offer human staffed customer support.
You know, yes, I think that's great, But I've never
had a problem.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh I've had wrong orders all the time.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
No, I mean I've had that, but I've never had
a problem with them them giving the money right back.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, lately I haven't. But there's never anybody you can
talk to if there's an issue, like if your Uber
person keeps your food or during COVID is when I
mostly had the problems, like we ordered stuff from the
store and people just keep like batches of toilet paper
or you know whatever. They would just get when they're
delivering when the drivers, Yeah, they would just keep them.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That happened multiple times.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And sell them on the black market. I guess we
never we always have a regular stock. We never stocked
up on anything during that time, and we're fine.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, well we weren't stocking up. It was just like
a regular like run.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
To do you know what I'm saying, Like, if you
have that pattern of once it's off, once you see
it coming off the shelf, to reorder, that cycle, that
normal cycle, Yeah, then we were fine. It's like you
just my wife's that way. Oh we're down to two.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
It's never yeh.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
The shelf is never empty. God bless her. That saved us.
So we never ever had to deal with any of
that chaos. But there is there is something about when
you're having things delivered and you're like, seriously, we got
three things we didn't order and none of the things
that we did. But I never had a problem either
(10:35):
calling or using the digital service, you know, texting or
something going back and forth saying hey this is a problem,
I'm going not a problem. We put it back in
your account. There you go, but yes, it should be done,
all right. More to come. How to eat like a
super ager. These are the people that are fanatic about
living forever and what they eat. Yeah, we come back.
(11:01):
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio. App Hey, everybody,
it's Bill Handle's show, Neil Savadra and the morning crew
today here with Heather Brooker and samza Is on the board.
We've got Trey Alexander in for Will giving us the traffic,
and Matthew in four and producing all this. Hey, thanks
(11:22):
to those of you who reached out and joined me
on Instagram on my personal one. I mean they're both
my personal one. I run both of them, but this
is like my maker one. This is like my little baby.
What I do when I'm not doing radio and hanging
out with my family is making stuff that's at Savco
Industries on Instagram saa v COO Industries. And I love
(11:50):
this crooked finger woodworks looking at some of the people. Gosh,
I love woodworkers. That is gorgeous. There's something about people
making lazy dogs shop. I will follow anybody back who
is a maker or I see that they've got stuff
that they make on there their Instagram as well, because
(12:12):
I love the inspiration of it. But again, you can
join me either at Folk Reporter, which is my general one,
or my special super secret. This is the life behind
my shop curtain at Sevco Industries. But thanks so much
for popping on there. There's a lot on there. Oh
(12:34):
and Heather Brooker, she seems neat. I'm well follow her.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
She seems like have I followed Safco And I was like,
oh my gosh, So I needed to correct that right away.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Well, thank you, my friend. I appreciate that I got you. Yeah,
there's a rule that I have. You go through literature,
you go through film, television, plays, everything in life, religion,
all these things, the good create, the bad destroy. And
I think that and you have this exact same energy Heather,
(13:05):
is that you create. And I think that most people do.
There that desire to make things. I think is is
very cool. You know what, maybe we'll do that when
we come back as well, open the phones and talk
to people of what they're what they're making or planning
to make in twenty twenty six. I just I think
that it is It shows a lot about a person,
(13:28):
if they fix, if they make.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
If they create.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, I just I don't know, So maybe we'll do that,
all right, So to eat like a super ager? Now
are these superagers? There are people that you know they
look at these evidence based habits And I said, if
you lived past eighty my mom is turning eighty eight
on the eleventh, so she's got eight days, no nine days, sorry,
(13:58):
carry the one. She's gonna turn eighty eight.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Yeah, she got that strong European stock, so white side
of my family we live forever. The Mexican side of
my family, like all my uncles died before they were
sixty I think was now my uncle John. I'm trying
to think when he passed. Maybe he was sixty seven.
But yeah, and my dad lived to seventy three, and
(14:25):
I hope I can live past that because that seems
so young these days. That was twenty one years ago.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
My mom's gonna be eighty in February.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
She's gonna hit the eighty year mark in February. She's
beat cancer twice.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Yeah, like a dog three times. Actually, I'm sorry I
forgot about it.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Beat cancer like a dog. She owned it. God bless her.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
You know what my husband calls her a tank.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah. Well, that's that's kind of you, just that you're
built that way. And you know, I told my mom,
you're not going anywhere. Just live to look, you know,
learn to live with limitations, because we all do every age.
We live with a new limitation. That's just the way
it is in life. And if you you get to
you know, that place, you just have to understand. Okay,
(15:08):
these are limitations, but I still got lots of living
to do. Yeah. So uh, and it's handle about being
old all the time. He's really not.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I mean, but we have to news, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But I will tell you I think our seasoned citizens,
as Rush used to call them, are incredibly important. They
are a wealth of information. I love talking to people
that have lived, and I think they are a huge
resource to the community that I don't know that we
always tap into properly. I mean, the things that they've
(15:45):
seen and done and understood anyway. So I you know,
I like that aspect of living. But I'm going to
tell you something that I've learned in my over a
decade of doing the Fork Report and talking to every
chef you could imagine and dietitians and nutritionis and everything.
Every year they come out with a list of the diets,
(16:08):
the least healthy diets, and at the top of the
list almost every year is those protein high protein diets.
You know, is it Adkins. I don't know if it's
Adkins maybe, but those Mediterranean or no, no, no, no. The
when you go to a fad diet, so when you're
(16:33):
knocking your body into katosis. But here's the thing, because
it's just it's horrible and your kidney and all that.
The one thing I hear every single time, and this
is kind of whittling the story into this. The Mediterranean diet,
healthy nuts, your proteins coming from low fat fish, fruits, vegetables,
(16:59):
all of these. The Mediterranean diet is the only food schedule.
I hate calling a diet, but list of ingredients that
you could eat on a daily basis, and you would
get healthier just by eating it. Hands down, there is
(17:21):
nothing else that compares to it. Ever, Mediterranean food is the.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Only diet my doctor has consistently recommended, the only one.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Anybody that has ever done any research will tell you about.
Everything else falls into the fad category or deprivation, deprive
yourself of this, of that or whatever. But you have
you know, non fat Greek yogurt top with blueberry strawberries, granola,
(17:55):
mixed walnuts, almonds, peanuts, salad of lettuce and treaded carriage tomatoes.
I mean these things and they're good, but trust me,
I am not the person to be giving you diet tips,
but I am telling you strictly based on my contact
with people in the know, and it is nothing compares
(18:18):
to it the Mediterranean food, shish kabobs and these types
of things. It's just very good and uh healthful and nutritious.
And really, anybody that tells you differently the deprivation stuff
or just eat you know, the kidney diet or this
(18:40):
or that, it's all wrong unless your doctor says, because
of your physical restraints or whatever it is, you can't
eat this, that or the other. The Mediterranean diet comes
out every year on top, every year on top, and
if you're looking for longevity, that is the place to go.
(19:02):
So there's that. So enjoy that, you know what. So
let's open the phones. Is is Matthew in there? Okay? Matthew?
So I'm going to open the phones. Eight hundred five
two zero one five three four eight hundred five two
zero one five three four. What are you making or
fixing right now? I'm a big fan of making. I'm
a big fan of fixing. And maybe you're you've got
(19:23):
a plan for the new year, whatever it is. I
think good people create, bad people destroy I want to
hear the good people that are making stuff.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
When we come back, I've got some talkbacks coming into people.
I'm responding to you as well.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Hey,
good second day of January. Happy Friday to you. We're
in twenty twenty six. It's Neil Savadra and the Morning Crew.
Bill Handle. Back on Monday. I'll be taking the week off,
be nice, hanging out with the family. My boy Max
gets one more week that we can enjoy together as
(20:11):
a family doing our goofiness. The three of us are
really really a weird threesome.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Very there's something special about being a family of three.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Get really close.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, you know, I thought about that the other day.
Listening to you with your family and then meeting them
the other day. Is I'm like, that's they're the same
as us. Yeah, you have that, you know. I come
from a huge family. I have five brothers and one sister,
so and I love it. I never thought. And my
wife has a pair of twin boys, brothers, and then
a younger sister. So that's a fairly sizable family too nowadays.
(20:48):
And then we have you know, this one boy that
I joke about spoiling to death, and you know, when
I tell them you're spoiled, he's like, who's spoiling me? Right,
not spoil myself?
Speaker 5 (20:59):
Your father?
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, look in the mirror. But you know, the the
family thing is always a huge to me, and that's
really been paramount is focusing on that. Hey, so this
is what I want to do. Kind of a change
of direction. Thanks Matthew for I'm like, way different than
handle Handles. Doesn't like anything changed, make some nervous. I'm like, yeah,
(21:23):
it's like, I'm like, let's just go. I feel like
talking to people that create, like I said, and you
folks have been joining me on Instagram. Thanks for doing that.

with Resin. This is gorgeous stuff. So yeah, and if
(22:20):
you're an artist or something, I'll follow you back on there.
You're a maker, So I got me thinking about makers.
I love makers. Good people create, bad people destroy, and
that's always been how I think. And so twenty twenty
six is going to be another year of creating for me.
This will be the year that I finally start making
(22:42):
a full size art two D two from scratch.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
I cannot wait.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
I'm working on one now that is, which is kind
of modifying one that Home Depot put out this year
for the holidays, and I'm bringing it up to more
movie accuracy. But I'm going to start from scratch on
one project and I make I make movie props replicas
and fix things around the house and do work at
(23:11):
our cabin, redecorating and building things and stuff. And I
like being handy. Is R two D two gonna make noise? Yeah?
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I don't know he'll move because I've seen like stand
still versions of it that don't make any sound, This
don't acts.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
This will be the full lights. This will be the
one I'm doing now is modifying that home deep A
one and it will move awesome, it will move. And
my buddy Matt at at Junk Droids, his stuff is great.
He's on at sea and stuff like that. I've been
getting a lot of his stuff and modifying it for this.
(23:50):
It's just it's a fun little project. But I want
to do one from scratch. It'll probably be a couple
of year project at least, but I'd like to hear
from you. If you're building something or making something for
the new year, hit us up on the phone lines
eight hundred five two zero one five three four. Eight
hundred five two zero one five three four. Let's talk
(24:11):
to Rich. Rich. Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Good morning, Neil.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Anybody I cannot help but wonder what kind of a
renaissance man you are? You literally make me feel ashamed.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, it's called ADHD. It's really it's like, oh, look
at that, you know what. I love learning things and
there's so many good teachers out there, and I don't
mean formal teachers, but people that want to share insights.
YouTube is filled with great creators and makers. Many of
them have become friends, and I just I just love
(24:48):
sharing information that people have shared with me. But my
wife probably wishes I had less hobbies. But it's fun.
So what's going on with you, Richiere? Building anything this year?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Well, yes, I am. I'm trying. I'm migrating my data
image data from an old Macintosh Mac Pro to a
new Mac studio. And I'm now seventy six years old,
and I'm going, oh, this was a lot easier when
I was younger.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Well, here's the here's the thing, rich is, we don't
stick with it. It's easier to learn things in increments
rather than all, you know, some big massive thing. So
to me, I have forced myself. I was on the
Mac wagon very early on as a young artist and designer.
(25:39):
I did textiles and stuff, silk screening, T shirts and
stuff like that. Worked for a company as the in
house artist, and they brought in the late eighties, I
think they brought in a company named Apple that was
going they were going to show me their computer. I'm like,
who wants that? It's a glorified type setter. I don't
need that. Yeah, And so I came kicking and streaming,
(26:02):
and now I am full fledged. I have a Mac
studio at home as well. It's a great little machine.
So yeah, it just you'll find that it doesn't you know,
A car is a car is a car. They have
some differences in certain things or the way it's handled,
but they all kind of have the same guts in them.
(26:24):
So you can do it. I believe in you, and
if not, then that's what.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
The thing is is that everything's changing. So we had
the spinning hard drives, and now we have the solid stalls, yes,
solid state drives, and you have blutes Thunderbolt too, which
was the old machine. I'm going to figure out how
to make it talk to Thunderbolt five and it's it's
(26:53):
how should I say it? It's awesome and it's wonderful
and hopefully it will we'll keep me thinking for another
few years.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
That's the thing. That's that's it exactly. It rich you
got to use that brain that way, And coming from
somebody sitting behind this mic this morning, that will tell you.
I don't throw away my Mac stuff. So I still
got scuzzy cables that I'm you know, have to connect
things to and every once in a while, I have
to pull things out of storage because I find an
(27:25):
old piece of art. Think keep in mind, since nineteen
ninety four or so, I've been creating billboards and designing
stuff alongside people like Bill Lewis back in the day
here at KFI. So I have really old KFI documents
that I have to pull every once in a while
that are all on these old you know, different things
(27:48):
that I haven't used in a long time. So keep
it up. I believe in you, Rich, you can do it,
and keep me posted on your success. There, let's see
what I wanted to there's a really cool where are you?
Somebody called in here? Can you bring me up on?
(28:12):
Can you bring my computer? Aut pleaser? All right, let's
listen here. This is from Steve.
Speaker 7 (28:18):
Good morning, Neil and Heather. For this new year, I
am restoring my nineteen sixty five Mustang. Just started on
it and already finding more problems and more problems.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
But I guess that's part of the of the Fundah.
Have a good one you guys, Happy New Year, Happy
new year to you. That is awesome, And that is
one of my favorite cars, the uh it is such
a beautiful vehicle. And if you've never seen one, but
those original pony cars are just so stunning. I've actually
(28:55):
driven one before. A friend of mine had one and
it was impeccable. And if you bring those things back
to their original state, they are just so stunning. All right,
talking about what you're making, what you create in for
the new Year, I'm a big believer those who create
are good, those who destroy are bad. But it's a
very simple way of looking at life. So I want
(29:16):
to hear what you're creating, because I think you're good. Also,
you can give us a call at eight hundred five
to zero one five three four eight hundred five to
zero one five three four KFI EIGHTM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good Friday morning to you,
and I'll be with you tomorrow with a four report
from two to five. So join me there, won't you
(29:37):
looking forward to that. I'm just thrilled many of you
are joining me on my side in my side Instagram
at Savco Industries on Instagram saav coo Industries, and many
of you are artists and makers. And I'm looking through
(29:58):
some of these things right now now of people that
create and make things, and I'm trying to follow everybody
back and look at what everybody's doing. But there was
one very interesting one. And where did I put you?
You little one? Oh? So this is Eric Fox Fox
First on the scene. Is his photography, Fox Underscore First
(30:22):
Underscore on Underscore Scene Underscore photography.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Whow but.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Amazing stuff. Retired LEO Law Enforcement officer. Thank you for
your service, Eric, But looking he's on the scene for sure. Beautiful,
beautiful shots. So if you want to join me there,
we're talking about making. I've said it before, I will
say it again that good people create, bad people destroy. Now,
(30:50):
sometimes you have to destroy something to build something else.
That's different. But as far as creation, I think now
on the religious side of things, I believe that that's
the nature of God, that when we're creating in the
image of God, it's as creators we desire to make things.
And so I'm just taking some calls this morning on
(31:11):
what you're making or planning on making in twenty twenty six.
But if you're working on something, I want to hear
from you as well. This one comes from it looks
like John. This is one on the talk back.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Good morning, mister Savedra, Good morning. I really enjoy when
you fill in. I'm finishing a bathroom that I uh
started eight years ago, ended up half of it demolished
behind the wall behind the new tub I installed. So
right now, at this time, I'm finishing the second half
(31:46):
and it's going quite well. I live in alcohol and
the house is raised, so it's easy to work on
and going well. Thank you, you know that's the truth.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I live on a raised house, a raised foundation as well,
and you could practically walk underneath it. It does make
it much easier to run to do things, you know,
run cat six or whatever I've had to do in
the past, and just get under there. But trust me,
I've had those projects and people go eight years. But
I'm going to tell you something, John, I have been there.
(32:17):
And you think I'm going to get to that, I'm
going to get to that. I'm going to get to that,
and I believe that you will get to it. So
keep on trucking there. Let's go to the phones now
and talk with Star Star. Welcome to KFI.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Hi, thank you, it's so nice to get to speak
to you.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Oh the pleasure's mind. So what do you do to create?
Speaker 9 (32:36):
I trust something called crafting cat cartoons? That I put
on Facebook and now Instagram. It's about a little cat
family and friends that have some laughs with arts and
crafts and it's fun for everyone, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, so wait, where can we find you?
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I'm on a lot of them are on Facebook and
I just started putting some on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
And crafting cats is that what you said?
Speaker 9 (33:02):
Crafting? Crafting cat cartoons.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
And some that's right now cartoons because I would like
to follow that as well. So, Star Demour, is that
how you produce your name?
Speaker 9 (33:17):
Yeah? It is very good.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Following you and these are cute as hell.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
Thank you, and I will follow you too as soon
as I can get my computer to start working this morning.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Well, uh, you can deal with I think Rich called
earlier dealing with computer problems. We should start a dating
app for those having to deal with that. Thanks for
calling Star. Uh what is this ish? Is that for real?
Is h?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes? Well it's sure for.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Oh it's also something people say instead of the S words.
So I was just curious, you know all that ish? Okay,
so what do you build an ish?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I'm not I have a proposal for you.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Oh please.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay. Instructibles, yes, it's for makers.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Yeah, instructibles is a website and where people put photos
or video or step by step of how to make things.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
If my memory serves me correctly, about four years ago,
four and a half years ago, I've seen a thing
called a swear bear. Uh huh. It's a little bear
that will tell you when your swear swear. You know.
(34:40):
So what it does? Uh, I'm not that well aptituded
to this guy. I haven't done this in years. I
think the last thing I put together was a was
a TV called a heath kit that.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Was about Oh I remember those heath kits. I think
that company is still around.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Yeah. But anyhow, what this little bear does is when
somebody swores you look it up, for example, to what
they call a dump button, uh huh, and it'll automatically
turn it on a tool dumping.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
It'll turn on the bear and dump it.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
No, it'll turn on the dump button. You know what
a dump button is.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
Well, yeah, we have them here at the station. The
dump button is good. Yeah, we have them so that
we can you know, cut it if somebody says something.
But I'm not sure what this means.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Well, what that means is, uh, Shannon doesn't get the
vacation time. You saved the money from the fines from
their c.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Goes on, Okay, well we do have we do have
a dump button, but yeah, there are There is a
swear bear on in Instructibles at unstructibles dot com that
has five steps and it says do you swear too much?
Don't worry? This artificial intelligence powered Internet of Things enabled
(36:13):
that just means that you can control them over the internet.
Swear jar is here to help. That's interesting. So it
listens to your every word detext profanity via AI and
then when caught, it instantly tells you in a very
public data system, not only revealing that you committed this crime,
(36:33):
but it basically punishes you for doing that. That's creepy
as hell, but kind of interesting. Robbie in Riverside, Welcome
to KFI.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (36:48):
I don't know if you're interested in the stuff I do,
but I started.
Speaker 8 (36:51):
Bringing in hummingbirds and now I make fountains for them
and hummingbirds seedters.
Speaker 3 (36:56):
Oh no, I'm kidding. Why wouldn't I be interested in that?
Speaker 9 (37:01):
When you're making robots and different things.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
I looked at your Instagram and I.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Just followed you with hours.
Speaker 9 (37:06):
We're under Robby and Gary gardner easy and it's amazing
the stuff you can make. And people want to buy fountains,
but it's so easy to make.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
But I love that. That's the Here's the thing. I
see so much being thrown out, you know, and you
and I go, you know what, that could be repurposed.
You could pull it apart and use it for something else,
or you can just refurbish it. And I'm a huge
If you ever go on YouTube, look for those that
restore things. It's amazing. I will go down. My brother
(37:36):
Craig and I were just talking about this the other day,
go down these rabbit holes of people making or refurbishing things,
and it Sometimes these are things made in the eighteen
hundreds that just need you know, cheese cutters, all kinds
of weird things that you go, that's beautiful, and they
refurbish them. But I think that's wonderful. Hummingbirds are gorgeous,
(37:58):
for one, and watching them is amazing, So I think that. No,
I'm not a maker snob. I love anything and everything,
the slightest, most simplest tools. Watching somebody do orgami is
amazing to me. All these things are beautiful to me.
You know what, I know, we are going to go
(38:18):
