Speaker 2 (00:07):
Bill Handle.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Here. It is a Friday morning, Foody Friday, August the ninth,
as we are engaged at our last hour of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
During the week and a couple stories.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
We are looking at tornado watches in the Northeast, and
now we have Debbie, which is being called a post
tropical cyclone picking up speed, flooding like you cannot believe.
Rain measured in the feet by the foot, It's kind
of crazy. Also in the Mid East, mediators from the
(00:40):
US Guitar Egypt said that they're presenting a.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Quote final bridging proposal next week. It's a final. It's

Speaker 3 (01:03):
It is time for Footy Friday with Neil Savedra tomorrow
two to five pm. He's host of The Fork Report
as well as does Footie Friday. Here with Me and
Neil is heard on Saturdays. It's part of the Saturday lineup.
It's Dean Sharp Saturday morning six to eight, and then
I come aboard eight to eleven, then Rich tomorrow, and
(01:27):
then comes Neil with the food stuff. It's always good stuff.
So Neil, put on your food hat if you will,
and let's start talking.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I'm sorry, done and done. I put on my food hat.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I can see that that is by the way, he
really didn't.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I just want to let you know, but it sounds
good on radio.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
It's theater of the mind.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yes, we're painting word pictures precisely.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
That's what makes radio magic. All right.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
We talked about AI, like crazy AI, this AI, that
AI and appliances and cars.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yesterday did a store worry about AI in the school systems?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Well, Neil AI in the kitchen? I E are we
going to talk about that? It is here.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, So we're going to be talking about AI quite
a bit this week and this weekend. And I have
a guest that Bet. She's a lovely human being. She
created bake space, and you can find out more at
bakespace dot com bakespace dot com. But one of the
features that she has on the website now is the
bake Bot recipe tool AI creation bot, And we're going
(02:36):
to be getting into this in depth on the show
this Saturday tomorrow, but it's it's super fascinating how it's used.
So it it's the first AI kitchen assistant, and it
has you know, experience, wisdom, warmth and all these things
that will answer cooking related questions. You can turn ideas
(02:58):
into original recipe bees. You can even put together your
own cookbook if you wanted, and I believe you can
sell them. But you can create and put these things together.
You can save old recipe cards, and it's a fascinating
way of seeing how AI is now in the kitchen
and is and I tested this thing, asked how to
(03:21):
cook a steak and all these different questions to see
if it came up with answers that I feel in
my experience were correct, and it really did.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
All right, let me did a great job, Neil. Let
me jump in.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
What is the difference between that and simply asking Siri,
I need a recipe for I want to cook cornbread,
give me a recipe.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Well, I think it's more nuanced than that.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Now they're both are AI, and both will be pulling information,
but really artificial intelligence and the way it's used in
Surrey's a little different.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's straightforward.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Surrey kind of as an assistant looks something up, whereas
bake bought. From my experience there on bakespace dot com
is that it it's interactive in a way that's different.
It will give suggestions rather than just going I found
this website or I went to Wikipedia and this is
what it says.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It will throw out if I throw out.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Ingredients, it will come up, hey, this is something you
can make for that. Also, like I said, it will
organize thoughts. So let's say you have recipes, it will
organize them, even put them into a book form. It
will generate recipes based on your input, not just hey,
I looked this up and found it. So whereas Surre
(04:39):
is more of an assistant in the sense where it's
like a library that it looks through and pulls something,
this is more creative, like a companion.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Have you tested it yet? Have you tried cooking with it?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, I've messed with it.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Well I haven't cooked the recipes, but what I've done
is I have vetted the recipes based my knowledge and went, yeah,
that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
That okay, so is it so you you I don't
quite understand this so I'm trying to envision it. So
there you are with baked bot and you either talk
to it or you type in let's say again corn
bread or turkey dressing, and you want are you asking
for a recipe? Are you giving yours? Are you saying
(05:24):
give me suggestions?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Well, depends spices.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yes to all of the above. So I can say
straight out give me a turkey stuffing recipe, and it will.
But I can say give me one with corn and
without and I don't like, I don't know you time
or something or sage, yeah, and all of those things.
So you can turn an idea, say I have an
(05:49):
idea with these three ingredients to make whatever. You can
also go, hey, this is what I have on hand.
I have these ingredients that look unrelated, but this is
what I have in my pantry, and it will put
them together.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Okay, well.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It'll You can actually chat with it in real time
and say, okay, give me a recipe. And then you say,
I don't want to cook it on the grill, I
want to cook it in the oven, and I'll change
into a roasted recipe.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Right, So you can see what you have on hand,
and if you're Jeffrey Dahmer.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
You can really see what you have on hand. I
had to go there. You know that, don't you?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah? Yeah, I did.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, that's true. All right, let's go ahead.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
And sometimes they work, sometimes they don't them.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Sometimes you feel like.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
I'm sometimes you feel like sometimes you don't.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
All right, this one is kind of fun. Now AI.
Here's the headline. Okay, Neil gave me. AI helps Wendy's
drive through order in different languages. So does it read
your accent?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Here's the deal with this.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I think we as humans love to hate on things
and love to push away anything new, especially when it
comes to technology. All things that can be used for
good can be used for evil.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So I get it.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
People always want to go to the bad things about something.
I think AI is an important leap. I think in
the right hands, with the right direction and focus, it's
going to be incredibly helpful and it is going to
come to restaurants, fast food and beyond. Wendy's is looking
at using it in fresh what they call fresh AI.
(07:37):
It's a partnership with Google Cloud and they experimented back
in twenty twenty three. They continue to grow with it.
Wendy's in California is much harder to find. But you
have to understand they are the fifth largest fast food change.
They are massive. You leave California, you see them everywhere.
(07:58):
So it makes sense they want to go towards this technology.
So they're going to be opening up more and more
of this technology in the order category for now. And
we think of it like, oh, who wants to talk
to a role about all these things or whatever? But
think about think about what can be done with this technico.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Go?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I put up Thy's and what am I saying?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well? If you if you are you.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Can order in a different language. Imagine how helpful that
would be in certain areas where you have multiple different languages.
Maybe somebody speaks English but they feel more comfortable speaking
than a native language.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Okay, So again, how does it is. It's not like
a button you push for languages. It reads your accent.
For example, Let's say you're let's say you're in the
car right. Let's say you're in the car and you're
singing karaoke with your family in the car and you're Filipino, okay,
and so immediately recognize the accent and then you ask
(09:02):
or they say we do have ballute this afternoon. By
the way, if anybody wants to know what balute is,
b a l u t look it up. This is
a Filipino delicacy and it's something that is absolutely delicious,
bolute b a l ut.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
That's not for American palettes, but it is a delicacy
there if you spoke it, I encourage people not to.
But if you spoke, imagine if somebody spoke multiple languages
and you start speaking Spanish to them and they knew Spanish,
they would just understand and speak to you back in Spanish.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Again.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Let me ask you, because yeah, how how do It's like, okay,
it's like a little thermoist, right, It's it keeps hot
things hot cold, hot things hot and cold things cold.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
How does it know?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
How does a person know when you speak Spanish to
them to.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Know because on the accent, you guess it, so it
knows what language you're speaking, and then therefore it kicks,
it kicks right into.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
That language, speaking English.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
It's in my case, in my case, they don't, all right,
So with that, I mean, I'm obviously joshing with you
a little bit here.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You would be able to communicate.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
If you wish to communicate in a different language, you
would merely speak it. You'd say Spanish or Espanol into
the microphone and the system would switch over to the
desired language for that order process. So and then when
that car drove off, it would reset. But literally you
could say Spanish, I would you know, Spanish or a
(10:39):
Spaniel into the microphone and it would switch over to
that language.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Okay, here's a question. Who is the genius that got
rid of the Jack in the box? At Jack in
the Box, that was a horrific day when.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
You could actually used to have to speak to the
Jack in the box. Yes, well that happened in the seventies.
I believe they got rid of it and then they
brought Jack back. But as a human, an anthropomorphic kind
of thing, do.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
You remember you could speak, you know, to the Jack
in the box, that clown and I was just those
are the days I speak to.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
A clown every day from nine until all.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Right, quickly moving into AI at Taco Bell.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yes, so Taco Bell is doing these things as well.
That's that's why I say that it's coming and people
need to understand this is going to be with order
taking everything around fast food focuses on two things.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Inexpensive food.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Quickly, with the way things are right now, especially here
in southern California, with minimum wage and everything, they are
gonna and it's not just that, but they are going
to continue to grow towards being as efficient as possible.
Right now, I think the accuracy rate for humans behind
(12:00):
the counter or in the drive through is about eighty
five percent. So if you could heighten that, oh yeah,
you have to be able to.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Of course, you do better than eighty five percent. Just
start just not knowing anything about AI, you do better
than eighty five percent.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
By the way, Taco Bell another one.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Whatever happened to that chihuahua who's just the greatest mascot
in the world, Yokio Taco Bell.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Why did they get rid of that guy?
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I don't know if it just ran its place or
if it was just that. I remember arguing with somebody
on your show. As a matter of fact, Tim Kelly
and I were filling in for you, and we were
arguing with some guy from you know, some I don't know,
activist group, some kind, and he was telling me that
(12:46):
it was racist, and I said, no, it's not.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It's an accent, it's not racist.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
And I remember telling the guy who was coming at
me hard, I said, listen, it's about the USA, not you, essay,
And he actually left.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That was actually pretty funny. I remember, Yeah, I remember
those conversations too.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I mean, there was a whole issue about people accusing
Taco Bell of actually using the chihuahua in the tacos,
and yeah, maybe they got rid.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Of it at that point.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I don't know, but I miss all those mascots and
Ronald McDonald and the Jack in the Box.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Well, Amy was that.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
She just texted me and she was saying, you remember
when they blew it up? That was part I think
in the seventies. That was part of getting rid of
the Jack in the Box. They literally blew it up.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, that's right, Amy, I do remember that. Yeah, horrific,
just for me to.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Do the same thing when you retire.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Why do we bail out? Why don't we bail out
of here?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
At this point Tomorrow, from two to five o'clock it
is the Fork Report with Neil And it's always great
fun to listen to Neil's show, because yeah, he is
that nuts and actually that knowledgeable too. All right, tonight
the Dodgers take on the Pirates at home with the
first pitch at seven ten. Listen to every play of
every Dodgers game on AM five seventy LA Sports Live
(14:11):
from the Gallpin Motors Broadcast.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Let me do that again.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Listen to every play of every Dodgers game on AM
five seventy LA Sports Live.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Did I get that right?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
From the Galpin Galpin Motors broadcast booth and stream all
games and HD on the iHeartRadio app keyword AM five
seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And I don't read that as you can tell.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
You're the only broadcaster I know that gets worse. You're
the only broadcaster I know that gets worse on the
second try.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, you know that's true. When I think about that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Let me give this another shot.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
The Balpin Balpin Motor uh glappin Galpin Galpin Right?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, you know Amy, I have you know?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I actually Amy, I actually mispronounced my name on the
show many times.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What do you call yourself?
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I've called myself Bill Hamlin.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Even to the point when Neil made a poster at
an event that I was at and usually put the
name up on a banner and it said the Bill
Hamlin show.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
That's mispronouncing everything for everything plus years.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Hey and Amy, Before we get to this week's World
and review, the story you did on Big Lots. Yeah,
I kind of thought that was interesting on a business level.
They open up three stores and they closed down thirty
five stores.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's not a good number for business, is it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
No, they're having some big problems.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Lots of big problems. Yeah, h huh get that? Okay?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yeah, all right, Bill Hamlin's here just doing the hell
of a job. Okay, it's yet another week of no news, right,
no news?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
We World in Review? All right, let's start with Monday. Well,
here's what you missed.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
That's what I got the newswires from around the corner
to around.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I can't believe that is this week's World in Review.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
All right, cono, let's give that another start, okay, and
then we'll uh and then we'll just tone that down
for a minute.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Here we go. It's time for this week's World in Review.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Living under a rock.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Okay, there we go, got it? Now, got a way?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Is what is happening? It's Friday, you're auguring.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
The it's fry day. Okay. Let's start with Monday. Okay,
here's a bit of news.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Monday, Vice president and the presidential nominee for the Democratic
Party chose Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota as her running mate.
And already the personal attacks are going like crazy. Have
has anybody talked policy yet? On either side? It is
(17:05):
personal attacks like crazy? Oh man, Uh, don't know where
that's going to go. Then we go to TikTok U
has failed to stop children from joining the app and
has unlawfully collected personal data, according to the US Justice Department,
(17:25):
which sued TikTok and the suit accuses TikTok and Byte
Dance or Bite Me Dance, the parent company, of violating
federal law. And one of the things that people don't
know is that the Justice Department can't just shut down
a company. Cannot just shut down a company. It has
(17:47):
to file a lawsuit and have a judge order that
the company shut down. Now, the FTC has a lot
more power the FCC that we'll do that we deal with,
can levy fines up to five hundred thousand dollars. Let's
say I say something untoward. Okay, I do that all
(18:10):
day long.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Let's say something that is somewhat depraved no, I do
that all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let's say something that's in violation.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Of FCC policy there comes to fine and it's five
hundred thousand dollars for the person who said it and
the radio station.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
That's a million dollar hit.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And it happened once to one of our DJs out
in Nashville, actually one of Iheart's DJs.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I think you're looking at me weird.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
I think it was Bobby Bones who got hit, and
that was that was a big one. By the way,
what they ran is the you know what happened real
quickly is they ran the emergency broadcast signal as sort
of a joke.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
And it wasn't a.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Test, and the FCC came down really hard. If I
have my story correct, don't hold it to me.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
On the Olympics, we have done terrifically.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Now do you know how many medals we've gotten amy.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I believe the total now is one hundred and three.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
And the goal and so we've scored more goals and
more silvers and more bronze than any other country across
the board, China coming in second. And the reason I
think we've scored so many is that Russia is not there.
Russia just is not there because of the fear that
(19:39):
Russia would that their swimmers would invade other events. All right,
why don't we go ahead and take a break, Amy,
she's laughing. What a week it has been a little
(19:59):
bit on the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And it came to pass.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
And this is where I'm going to give myself credit
for a prognostication. As the triathlon was about to start
and part of it was swimming in the Sane River,
I had said that it's going to be a quad athalon,
not only swimming and running and riding a bike, but
(20:26):
also swimming in the world's biggest toilet. And it turned
out to be absolutely true. Swimmers got sick because the
Sane River is well, for one hundred years it has
been a toilet, and Paris spent one point five billion
dollars trying to clean it up and it did sort
(20:47):
of all right, Ukraine and what's going on with Russia
and the United States, Ukraine finally got their F sixteen's,
do you remember at the start of the war, and
they've been begging for F sixteen's for ever since the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. And what is now it's in
its third year the war, if I'm not mistaken, And
(21:10):
do I have that right?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I think so, Yeah, I think it's been going on
for two years and Ukraine had asked President Zelensky had
begged for the F sixteen, the fighter jets and not
going to happen, I mean the president said there was
no chance. Well they got them now, not American F sixteens,
but European F sixteens from the European Union, and then
(21:34):
those are being replaced by American jets. So I guess
this plausible deniability. It's all, we're not giving you the jets.
It's our allies that are giving you the jets, even
though we're going to replace them for the ally.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
So does that help?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We don't know the problem is are there pilots trained
on the F sixteens.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Know they're pilots.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Ukrainian pilots fly Russian airplanes Russian fighter jets because Ukraine
was part of Russia and they was an Allied country
for a very long time. The astronauts Butch Wilmore Sonny Williams,
two veteran NASA astronauts, piloted the first flight of Boeing
(22:18):
star Liner spacecraft.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Right into the ISS.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
And they were supposed to be there for seven or
eight days and then fly the capsule back. Well, they've
been there for more than sixty days, about seven weeks
longer than initially expected. All kinds of problems with the
star Liner, and we were just told by NASA no
clear return date. They're saying maybe into February. It's a
(22:49):
little bit rough for the families because they've been told
you're never going to see your family members again.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You can kiss it goodbye, a good life. Yeah, and
the only way and.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It looks like the only way they're gonna be rescued
is on a SpaceX flight. Mass is gonna have to
hire Elon.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Musk to fly these astronauts home. Oh boy, Boeing really
likes that.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
For sure.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
UK riots, the right wing riots have gone crazy in
the UK and all over the world. The good news
is that the UK government was able to suppress them
pretty quickly and with some force.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And then we had that horrific day on the stock market.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
It went down one thousand points after having gone down
several hundred points the two three days before. Well, the
market is recovering and even though the trading session on
Monday lost the lost one point three trillion dollars in
stock value. It is coming back, and even with the
(24:00):
drop today, up to this point, the stock market is
still ahead of what happened last year. Then Google a
big hit for Google massive anti lawsuit on Monday, the
decision where the government had filed a lawsuit against Google
(24:21):
saying it is a monopoly, and the federal judge said
it's a monopoly and Google is appealing it. That as
bad news for all of high tech. So that's some
of the week's world in review. All right, Tomorrow morning,
it's Handle on the Law at eight o'clock, following Dean
Sharp the House Whisper.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
He's on from six to eight. I'm on from eight
to eleven.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Then it's Rich Tomorrow with the Tech Show, and then
Neil Savedra. Neil is on two to five with the
Fork Report, and you're going to talk about AI in
the World of Food and also has a terrific guest
as he always does. And so I don't out of
all those shows, the best one, of course is Handle
on the Law. You know, by the way, that's an
(25:03):
independent survey that was done. I just want to point
that out. Also, my cheap plug right now if you've
been injured, go to handle on the law dot com.
Handle on the law dot com. By the way, I
don't pay for that, just want to point that out.
Do you want to pitch your business? Get a radio show?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
All right?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Monday morning we start again with this program, Amy King
with a wake up call.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
And then we come aboard the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Neil and I and Amy are here from six to nine.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Have a good weekend.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Handle and the morning crew KFI AM six forty live
