You're listenings KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles show
on demand on the iHeartRadio f KFI AM six forty.
Actually KFI AM six Friday on a Friday morning, December sixth,
and oh, before we get to Footy Friday with Neil Amy,
you just did the report about Notre Dame opening up
(00:21):
on Monday. I think over the weekend, yeah, and I
remember watching it was live being carried all over the world.
The fire, and for anybody who's been in a tournam
or even not, you're looking at an international treasure that
in fact was being destroyed and normally Okay, fine, I
tell you I was deeply affected by it. So I
(00:44):
understand that they're having a special opening for people who
have serious scoliosis.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Wait, what you know?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The hump?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah you know, gotcha sanctuary. I got it, Yeah, yeah, got.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It all right.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Took me a minute, Yeah, it did speak that was handled,
but it took me a second. That was a little
bit of a stretch.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Okay, nice little cafe, right caddy corner.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I don't remember. I don't remember. No, and I've been
in no trauma a few times. It's really it's magnificent
if you ever have a chance to go. And obviously
now it was guted. I mean the interior was gutted,
but they rebuilt it with timbers and put it together
in the original way using original equipment. Yeah, the way
(01:33):
they built it back in the thirteen hundreds with the timbers.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And they would do the ads.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's stunning, it really is.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
They do an ads different than we do ads. Yes, okay,
fair enough, Yeah, let's do it. Footy Friday with Neil Savadra,
host tomorrow of The Fork Report two to five pm,
and the social is at Fork Reporter. Now this is
Neil comes up with these topics and it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
A light mix today of a couple of things, like, oh,
talking about.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Mix, here's big international food news that's being carried all
over the world.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
There's a new Checks mix. This is for holiday stuff.
That's why I was thinking about this. But you know
you have your your mix of snacks. There's something about
that crunchy, savory, salty, sweet combination. Well, they have had
many different kinds for snack mixes. Of course, Check Mix,
(02:35):
peanut butter, chocolate, cookies and cream, all these things. Well,
they're doing this new cinnamon sugar seasoning mix. And I'm
really curious because this is combining you know, that cinnamon
that we love, but also have you ever seen they
call them by different things. They're muddy buddies or they're
(02:57):
called I think chow or something like that. And what
they do is they take the checks cereal and they
put peanut butter over it, and then they put chocolate
over it, and then they put powdered sugar over it.
They're delicious, but they've done that and they've added this
one other step of cinnamon and they're adding that to
(03:18):
the mix now and it's going to give this kind
of snickerdoodle kind of chocolate.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Eve.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't think of Checks mix as anything sweet. It's
always been a savory.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
But for the holidays, they tend to get these sweet
kinds out there, and they're nice little.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I love them personally.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do you do that? Do you hand? You do the
bowls of stuff for the holidays?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah, if we're having people over or just for us,
there's little snacks we usually get some of these types
of things. My wife knows that I enjoy those. I
don't have them year round, but those muddy Buddies or
whatever they refer to them as I like during the holidays.
I think Target has a mix that they do. They
also have one called the Reindeer Mix that I'm less
enthused about, but they Yeah, you can find them, and
(04:03):
they're they're fun to kind of nosh on.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Food stocking stuffers.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Usually you don't think of food involved in stocking stuffers.
And by the way, a good good time to do
a Zelman's plug because they are great stocking stocking stuffers.
They're the package is about the size a little like
a TikTok box filled these tik tak Yeah, TikTok tic
tac it's all the same.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
About two thirds of a TikTok box.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, I mean they are small boxes filled with the
Zelman's mint minty minty mouthmans and those are perfect stocking stuffers.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
They are you're talking about the stockings on the mantle. Yeah,
we're not talking about people to put them in their
leggings or right.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well he could you know, he had them a little bumpy,
But yes, the stockings on the mantle, and they're just great.
So tell me some other ideas for stocking stuffers. Well,
this one is I thought this was pretty cool. Because
I know a lot of people love this particular product.
So now Walmart has this dollar one dollar stocking stuff
(05:06):
for people are flipping out about and you know nutella, right, yeah,
of course, Okay, Well they have these tiny little containers
of it and they're going for a buck. And these
are a huge these little jars of nutella. And this
is a huge thing for this year because one people
often have that around the house for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
People love them.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
But I looked up the next cheapest for the exact
same thing I saw was five below, which is a
five dollars store. Ish a great store, by the way,
They had it for a buck fifty. So Walmart has
them for a buck, and they're great for people that
love nutella. Put them in there, and nutella is great
(05:48):
for you can put pretzels and amuseum as dipped whatever.
They're going for a buck at Walmart. So if you
know someone who loves nutella, which I do, including myself,
you can go out and get right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I mean, Neil your stocking. I have to ask you
later on about.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What I how I stuff my stocking, you know, yes,
a little personal yes, yeah, a little personal time.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Foodie Friday with Neil Savadra Neil who switches gears because
tomorrow he is host of The Fork Report and it's
all food Saturdays two to five at Fork Reporter. Oh,
by the way, I didn't hear your show on Thanksgiving Day?
Where Why would you listen when you're off?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Are you well?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Because I know you're a huge fan of you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And and you know it's not that I always say,
this is not Neil filling in for me. This is
a Neil Savadra show on Thanksgiving Day because it's all
about food.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So was it different this year? Do you have any
particularly good questions?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
We always have great questions and people are very nice,
and it's it's it really is an honor. You think
it's a big holiday, family friends, that type of thing,
and they're calling in to ask questions.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
So it was really cool.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But we always have you know, it's always like Hey,
I have this one ingredient and I do for it,
or we had Hey, I'm gonna I was going to
smoke the turkey and I don't think I have enough
time to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
What's an alternative method is that?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Isn't it illegal now in California smoking turkeys.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Uh, it depends on the paper you roll it in.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, that's very strong. You know, no smoking, no smoking
turkeys on the signs of.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
You twenty five feet away from the entrance of the
building when you smoke a turkey.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
All right, Uh. New for let's talk about new Trader
joe products. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's. Their
Indian food, Uh is spectacular.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They have frozen they have really wonderful food.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, they do, and it's and surprisingly enough, it's probably
the best value out there for what they had.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Incredibly reasonable.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Now another thing is if you want to you know,
cut corners yourself. Let's say you want to have a
pizza night tonight it's Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Right, Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
They have they have great uh pre made pizza dough.
They have fabulous pre made pizza do at a Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe's has things like puff pastry, frozen puff pastry
that is made with real butter where that's harder to
get in some other locations.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
But every you know, they turn things over, which some
people like because of the excitement of having new things,
but some people don't because Trader Joe's is limited in
shelf space, so sometimes one thing in, one thing out,
and people get mad because seasonally something that they love
is not there anymore. But people get very excited for
(08:29):
the new stuff. So Trader Joe's has some new items
for December, and it made me think of you because
I know you've been going to Trader Joe's there, and
I know a lot of listeners do. But they have
this blue cheese Irish potato chips two ninety nine. They're
known for their potatoes, obviously they're in Ireland. Delicious cheese
(08:50):
is combination of these things, and these are a lot
of holiday things, maybe snacking or it's just celebrating entertain.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Now, the potato chips, I'm assuming don't come from Ireland,
because that gets a little bit problematic shipping potato chips.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
No, I think that it's just in reference to the
blue cheese and the Irish.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Potato only because strange stuff does come from Ireland and
other countries. I have, for example, there's a toothpaste that
I'm using now brushing your teeth, yeah, once in a while,
and I think it's called Marbon's and it's a really
minty minty toothpaste. It's Italian. They bring it in from Italy.
Who would have thought you bring in toothpast from Italy? Okay,
(09:35):
why did you change toothpaste because I was introduced to it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I didn't have toothpaste.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I was at my daughter's place and I want to
brush my teeth and she gave me this.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I went, wow, this is great.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Really yeah, where was she introduced to Italian team?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
How the hell do I know? I have no idea? Anyway,
moving on, because did we really digress you bit? Okay?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Peppermint popcorn now, see that's a nice one three ninety
nine for this holiday magic. You got the peppermint flavor
there putting it on popcorn. It's a nice mix of
the lightly salted popcorn coated with dark and white chocolate
and it's rolled in little crunched candy bits. So not
only do you get that white and like tuxedo as
(10:20):
they call it, the white and dark chocolate there and
then rolled in little peppermint pieces.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
One of the things I love about Trader Joe's is
actually the politics of Trader Joe's and there was I mean,
they have different names like from Mexican products, that are
their own label, Trader Jose's. And they got hit big
time with accusations of racism.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And how they did they did because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And this guy with a sombrero sitting there, it was
a typical stereotypic.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was a stereotypical Mexican.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So anyway, there was a movement, and there was this
was a legitimate business and shick and this and to
stop their racism, to stop that and Trader Joe's, God
bless them. If you read their press release, all it
says is bite me.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
They did not cave. Thank you. You know, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Wonderful when you have a corporation just flip the finger
and say, just leave me alone, get a life. And
so I love that. And I love Trader Joe's. I mean,
I love their stuff. Or what do I get a
Trader Joe's a lot. Their bread products are great, and
they have they don't carry many non Trader Joe's items.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Obviously it's kirkling, you know, Well.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That's their thing.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You know, a lot of them are manuf they're not
made by Trader joe They're made by bakers and things
like that, and then they bring them in they put
you know, kind of white label them and put their
stuff on it, or they have them made especially for them.
But they you know, they have they have a great system.
Now I can't see it as a normal day to
(11:57):
day store. I've got to go to other grocery stores
get other things. But for treats or certain quality items,
it's great.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I think they're privately owned too. I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I think I believe so it was well, I think
it was a German company privately held at bought Trader Joe's.
I mean, they're not going to tell you much about,
for example, where they get things Costco Costco. The Kirkland
batteries for example. You know it comes from Duracell. Uh,
that's a that's a gift.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I knew a baker who made bread for them and
wasn't allowed to tell anybody. It's part of the contract,
all right. They have French onion popcorn, which sounds fascinating
to me. I'd be curious. There crispy shataki mushrooms. So
this is like, you know these little crispy shtaki mushrooms.
They're battered mushrooms. Uh, kind of the texture of onion rings.
(12:49):
And you can serve them with your favorite you know,
dipping sauce. They have baked ricotta cheese. They have pizza
ranch salad kits. That sounds kind of fascinating to me. So, uh,
these kits that you can put together something to something
to look forward to if you like the Trader Joe's.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And I do, and I think Trader Joe's is absolutely spectacular.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Appetizers, snacks, things like that. Really, I I go, I go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I buy Ralps ninety percent of the time because there
is the store nearest of my house is Ralph's. Now
I moved, and uh, the store nearest to my house
by a factor of five miles is a Gelson's.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm great, great store, pricey, great store,
very price. But they have very cool They've got great meats. Yeah,
but it's but it is prices and they have great
prepared meals. Yeah, they do very pricey. This is I
tend to try not to go real expensive.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
My idea of a high end restaurant is where I
had lunch yesterday and I wasn't paying for it and
the cheese creatu.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Already yeah let cheese key.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, that's about as high as I get. So yeah,
I can't wait to start shopping at Gelson's. All right now.
Started something I think two weeks ago, three weeks ago,
and that is a segment that I've been playing with
in my head for a bunch of years that I
wanted to try it. And it's ask handle anything, and
(14:21):
let me tell you the concept. And here's what happens.
You go up on Apple I'm excuse me. You go
on the iHeart the Heart, iHeart app and you can
record questions and go to the microphone.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
During the show. You go to the KFI page.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Microphone the up or right hand corner, push on the microphone,
and then you record fifteen seconds or less and you
record a question of me. And it's basically anything. Well
it wasn't anything. I got kind of humiliated the first
couple of times. And what happens is those are recorded,
Neil and go through them and then throw them at
(15:01):
me and I answer them spontaneously.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I have not heard the questions before.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
This is a case of first impression, as they say
in the courts, the court has not heard this particular
argument or set of facts before, and then the answer
comes through.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So let's do it. And we've recorded, you've recorded, And
who's going to take this?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
And or a Neil Neil Kono's got it, he's going
to play them. I pulled the pulled them on.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
They're ready to go.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Hi handle is bk and Irvine?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So a long time ago in a galaxy far far away?
Do you think Yoda was a jew? That's assarily a
very good question. And I don't know. He's very gnome
like and very small.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So based on the size of Yoda and the shrinkage,
you know, he's a very shrinked.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Up, old small man. I would say yes, clearly you're not.
There is no going Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I would say yes based on those factors, Yes, Yoda
was ajew Okay, good question, Billy.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
What do you like better doom or gloom?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I know you have a preference doom.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Or gloom, Yeah, because you're always doom and gloomy.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
First of all, I think they're inextricably connected. Doom is
not the same without gloom. Gloom is not the same
without doom. You don't prefer one doom. I think doom.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I think you lead with doom and gloom follow It
was not a bad movie either.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Doom.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, all right, next question, Good morning, Bill, Oh god,
this is a bit.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'd love to know what the worst thing you've ever
had in your mouth. Doesn't have to be food, doesn't
have to be nasty, it doesn't interesting, thank you, it
seems fun.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
And this is one of those where I modified the
ask handle anything concept.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Well, she it doesn't, she said, doesn't have to be
rude or crude, and it doesn't have to be food
like just it could be a dental instrument.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Here is the problem.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The most interesting thing I've had in my mouth is crude.
Is rude, and U it's ask handle anything but that. Okay,
So I'm not gonna answer that.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I saw you eat it has a bird bird vomit soup.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I did do that. Yeah. And I've had haggis in
my mouth. I've eaten hagis.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
How's he doing?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Not bad? Not bad?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Moving on?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Moving on?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Hey Bill Cliff in Las Vegas, Nevada. I love your
show man always. Great question. What is a typical breakfast
for you Monday through Friday? And what is the breakfast
for you on the weekends?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, go, good question.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, Monday through Friday, when I'm on the air, it's
frittata's from Costco a bagel.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Usually what's in the frittata? Is it like a sausage
for tada? No, It's like, no, it's actually a vegetable
for tata.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Really yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Costco that's there, just like the spices in it. And
then so I'll have a bagel, and then this morning,
for example, I had when I have half a sandwich
from a deli plus meat loaf leftovers from cheesecake factory.
So I eat quite a bit, and weekends I eat
even more. Yeah, I know it's a while. I eat
(18:37):
a lot during the show. And you know, if you
listen to the show, I'm eating constantly. Matter of fact,
the show gets in the way of my eating. Never
ever heard that, It's absolutely true.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
All right, Good morning, No from San Diego. Bill likes
his Broadway and West End shows. Which one of those
shows is Bill's favorite and which one does he dislike
the most?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Good morning? Good question?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And probably my all time favorite musical's name is I'm
just absolutely crazy about it. The worst one I've ever
seen is Starlight Express. If you've ever seen that is
the hear what the worst? Andrew Lloyd Weber musical that
has ever ever been. It's a bunch of people on
roller skates in a roller rink that's built right onto
(19:22):
the stage. It's like a velodrome kind of thing, and
they sing and the songs are just horrific, and you
remember anything. There have been some really bad ones. There
was one that I saw at Siegerstrom, Tina Turner something.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I walked out halfway through it. That's hard for me
to walk out halfway through it. So those are the ones.
That was a good question, by the way, because.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I am a musical guy, and what am I going
to see? Last?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I saw that was fabulous. Mulin Rouge, it was incredible.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
What's your husband's favorite one?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
South Pacific by the.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Ha, I'm going to wash that man right out. I
actually saw that with you.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, it's great musical, love it, love it a lot
of I love revivals, starting with Showboat.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Oh man, Rita all right. I like revivals too. They're
just a little different, and they happen in a tent.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
He could walk again. He could walk again.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Next question, Bill Handle, what type of a Jew are you?
I know you're Jew by race, but I want to
know are you an Orthodox Jew, regular Jew or a
nonpracticing Jew.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Okay, that's I'm curious. Yeah, that's a good question. First
of all, Jews are not race.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
It's not a race ethnicity, it's ethnicity, and it is
a religion. It's also a culture. It's one of the
few religion slash culture. For example, there isn't a culture
of Christians. There isn't Christian food, and there is Jewish food.
And I am what did he say?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Orthodox? I am not? What was the second one that
he asked?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You just said are you orthodox? Are you're not Orthodox?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Asked if you were a regular Jew? No?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No, I am unleaded. Yeah, i am, I'm not. I'm
an irregular Jew. And I've had that problem for many
years and tried a lot of medication for it, and
I still haven't beat it.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Let's move on.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Hi, Bill, this is Gretchen from marinal Valley.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
I'd like to know your history of employment, because you've
worn different hats, particularly how did you get into radio?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Thank you and have a great day.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's actually a great question that I don't share very
often because of my background in surrogacy. I was fairly
well known and I used to do a ton of
interviews over at what was the Heritage Station. Unlike KFI,
I'm not going to mention the name KBC, And I
was interviewed I don't know, half a dozen dozen times
(21:55):
before the program director one day's walking down the hall
and he said, Bill, I've been listening to your interviews.
You're better than half the people I have.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I know all.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I'm better than all the people you have here.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
And next thing I know, handle on the law was
created nineteen eighty five. If you can believe that nineteen
eighty five, I'm going to hit forty years.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Next year, forty years of horrible advice.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And I still don't know a tremendous amount about the law.
You think that I'd be asked eight zillion times the
same question and I still don't know it. That's true.
I mean I could look it up, but why what
do I care if it's good advice or not. The
whole point is that I give you rotten advice. And
when I tell you and you actually follow it and
(22:46):
go ahead and sue me for negligent referral. You know
I got a I work for iHeart, let them pay.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Okay, Next, Good morning, Bill, This is Angel Lak I'd
like to know if you can share with your most
significant or memorable or embarrassing moment during your elementary school years.
Thank you have a great thing.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
No, no, you don't remember.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, no I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
No I would, but there's no embarrassing. I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I don't remember elementary school when I first started. I
came to this country and I didn't speak English. I
was six years old. I know, I was six years old,
and they put me in first grade. It was a
baptism and fire. There was no English's second language stuff
going on, and I only spoke Portuguese. And my father
(23:41):
and mother, being East European Old East European Jews, they
bought me jeans that I was going to grow into,
so they were three sizes too large, and my dad
was in construction, so instaid.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
We told that story, my lunchbox story. I've done that several.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Times, and instead of a little bat Man lunch box
or Superman little square ten lunchbox, he'd get me an
industrial workers lunchbox, you know the big ones with the
dome on the top, and you had the vacuum, you
have the thermas inside, and I carry this big lugging thing.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And oh man uh.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And then my dad would make lunch and very you know,
the other kids would have sandwiches with a crust cut off.
And I remember in June when it was very hot,
I'd open up, uh, the lunch box, and my father
just I don't understand it, would put have put two
pieces of rye bread in there without any wrapping so
(24:37):
they were dry completely. And then there was one slice
of blownee that has that have come off the bread
and was sticking to the side of the metal lunch box,
and I would peel it off and put it in
the sandwich.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was probably. Yeah, that was a tough one.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Explains a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It does, actually it does. And I was in therapy
for forty years on that one. All right, we're done, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
On a Friday tomorrow morning, this was try and we'll
keep doing this. I think, what do you think? It's
just fun? It really is? All right Neil two to

and oh, before we get to Footy Friday with Neil Amy,
you just did the report about Notre Dame opening up
(00:21):
on Monday. I think over the weekend, yeah, and I
remember watching it was live being carried all over the world.
The fire, and for anybody who's been in a tournam
or even not, you're looking at an international treasure that
in fact was being destroyed and normally Okay, fine, I
tell you I was deeply affected by it. So I
(00:44):
understand that they're having a special opening for people who
have serious scoliosis.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
If I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Wait, what you know?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The hump?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah you know, gotcha sanctuary. I got it, Yeah, yeah, got.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It all right.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Took me a minute, Yeah, it did speak that was handled,
but it took me a second. That was a little
bit of a stretch.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Okay, nice little cafe, right caddy corner.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I don't remember. I don't remember. No, and I've been
in no trauma a few times. It's really it's magnificent
if you ever have a chance to go. And obviously
now it was guted. I mean the interior was gutted,
but they rebuilt it with timbers and put it together
in the original way using original equipment. Yeah, the way
(01:33):
they built it back in the thirteen hundreds with the timbers.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And they would do the ads.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's stunning, it really is.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
They do an ads different than we do ads. Yes, okay,
fair enough, Yeah, let's do it. Footy Friday with Neil Savadra,
host tomorrow of The Fork Report two to five pm,
and the social is at Fork Reporter. Now this is
Neil comes up with these topics and it's kind of.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
A light mix today of a couple of things, like, oh,
talking about.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Mix, here's big international food news that's being carried all
over the world.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
There's a new Checks mix. This is for holiday stuff.
That's why I was thinking about this. But you know
you have your your mix of snacks. There's something about
that crunchy, savory, salty, sweet combination. Well, they have had
many different kinds for snack mixes. Of course, Check Mix,
(02:35):
peanut butter, chocolate, cookies and cream, all these things. Well,
they're doing this new cinnamon sugar seasoning mix. And I'm
really curious because this is combining you know, that cinnamon
that we love, but also have you ever seen they
call them by different things. They're muddy buddies or they're
(02:57):
called I think chow or something like that. And what
they do is they take the checks cereal and they
put peanut butter over it, and then they put chocolate
over it, and then they put powdered sugar over it.
They're delicious, but they've done that and they've added this
one other step of cinnamon and they're adding that to
(03:18):
the mix now and it's going to give this kind
of snickerdoodle kind of chocolate.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Eve.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't think of Checks mix as anything sweet. It's
always been a savory.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
But for the holidays, they tend to get these sweet
kinds out there, and they're nice little.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I love them personally.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Do you do that? Do you hand? You do the
bowls of stuff for the holidays?
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Yeah, if we're having people over or just for us,
there's little snacks we usually get some of these types
of things. My wife knows that I enjoy those. I
don't have them year round, but those muddy Buddies or
whatever they refer to them as I like during the holidays.
I think Target has a mix that they do. They
also have one called the Reindeer Mix that I'm less
enthused about, but they Yeah, you can find them, and
(04:03):
they're they're fun to kind of nosh on.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Food stocking stuffers.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Usually you don't think of food involved in stocking stuffers.
And by the way, a good good time to do
a Zelman's plug because they are great stocking stocking stuffers.
They're the package is about the size a little like
a TikTok box filled these tik tak Yeah, TikTok tic
tac it's all the same.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
About two thirds of a TikTok box.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, I mean they are small boxes filled with the
Zelman's mint minty minty mouthmans and those are perfect stocking stuffers.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
They are you're talking about the stockings on the mantle. Yeah,
we're not talking about people to put them in their
leggings or right.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well he could you know, he had them a little bumpy,
But yes, the stockings on the mantle, and they're just great.
So tell me some other ideas for stocking stuffers. Well,
this one is I thought this was pretty cool. Because
I know a lot of people love this particular product.
So now Walmart has this dollar one dollar stocking stuff
(05:06):
for people are flipping out about and you know nutella, right, yeah,
of course, Okay, Well they have these tiny little containers
of it and they're going for a buck. And these
are a huge these little jars of nutella. And this
is a huge thing for this year because one people
often have that around the house for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
People love them.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
But I looked up the next cheapest for the exact
same thing I saw was five below, which is a
five dollars store. Ish a great store, by the way,
They had it for a buck fifty. So Walmart has
them for a buck, and they're great for people that
love nutella. Put them in there, and nutella is great
(05:48):
for you can put pretzels and amuseum as dipped whatever.
They're going for a buck at Walmart. So if you
know someone who loves nutella, which I do, including myself,
you can go out and get right.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I mean, Neil your stocking. I have to ask you
later on about.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
What I how I stuff my stocking, you know, yes,
a little personal yes, yeah, a little personal time.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Foodie Friday with Neil Savadra Neil who switches gears because
tomorrow he is host of The Fork Report and it's
all food Saturdays two to five at Fork Reporter. Oh,
by the way, I didn't hear your show on Thanksgiving Day?
Where Why would you listen when you're off?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Are you well?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Because I know you're a huge fan of you.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
And and you know it's not that I always say,
this is not Neil filling in for me. This is
a Neil Savadra show on Thanksgiving Day because it's all
about food.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So was it different this year? Do you have any
particularly good questions?
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
We always have great questions and people are very nice,
and it's it's it really is an honor. You think
it's a big holiday, family friends, that type of thing,
and they're calling in to ask questions.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
So it was really cool.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But we always have you know, it's always like Hey,
I have this one ingredient and I do for it,
or we had Hey, I'm gonna I was going to
smoke the turkey and I don't think I have enough
time to do that.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
What's an alternative method is that?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Isn't it illegal now in California smoking turkeys.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Uh, it depends on the paper you roll it in.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, that's very strong. You know, no smoking, no smoking
turkeys on the signs of.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
You twenty five feet away from the entrance of the
building when you smoke a turkey.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
All right, Uh. New for let's talk about new Trader
joe products. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's. Their
Indian food, Uh is spectacular.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
They have frozen they have really wonderful food.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, they do, and it's and surprisingly enough, it's probably
the best value out there for what they had.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Incredibly reasonable.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Now another thing is if you want to you know,
cut corners yourself. Let's say you want to have a
pizza night tonight it's Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Right, Uh.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
They have they have great uh pre made pizza dough.
They have fabulous pre made pizza do at a Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe's has things like puff pastry, frozen puff pastry
that is made with real butter where that's harder to
get in some other locations.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Things like that.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
But every you know, they turn things over, which some
people like because of the excitement of having new things,
but some people don't because Trader Joe's is limited in
shelf space, so sometimes one thing in, one thing out,
and people get mad because seasonally something that they love
is not there anymore. But people get very excited for
(08:29):
the new stuff. So Trader Joe's has some new items
for December, and it made me think of you because
I know you've been going to Trader Joe's there, and
I know a lot of listeners do. But they have
this blue cheese Irish potato chips two ninety nine. They're
known for their potatoes, obviously they're in Ireland. Delicious cheese
(08:50):
is combination of these things, and these are a lot
of holiday things, maybe snacking or it's just celebrating entertain.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Now, the potato chips, I'm assuming don't come from Ireland,
because that gets a little bit problematic shipping potato chips.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
No, I think that it's just in reference to the
blue cheese and the Irish.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Potato only because strange stuff does come from Ireland and
other countries. I have, for example, there's a toothpaste that
I'm using now brushing your teeth, yeah, once in a while,
and I think it's called Marbon's and it's a really
minty minty toothpaste. It's Italian. They bring it in from Italy.
Who would have thought you bring in toothpast from Italy? Okay,
(09:35):
why did you change toothpaste because I was introduced to it.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
I didn't have toothpaste.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I was at my daughter's place and I want to
brush my teeth and she gave me this.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I went, wow, this is great.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Really yeah, where was she introduced to Italian team?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
How the hell do I know? I have no idea? Anyway,
moving on, because did we really digress you bit? Okay?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Peppermint popcorn now, see that's a nice one three ninety
nine for this holiday magic. You got the peppermint flavor
there putting it on popcorn. It's a nice mix of
the lightly salted popcorn coated with dark and white chocolate
and it's rolled in little crunched candy bits. So not
only do you get that white and like tuxedo as
(10:20):
they call it, the white and dark chocolate there and
then rolled in little peppermint pieces.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Come on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
One of the things I love about Trader Joe's is
actually the politics of Trader Joe's and there was I mean,
they have different names like from Mexican products, that are
their own label, Trader Jose's. And they got hit big
time with accusations of racism.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
And how they did they did because I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
And this guy with a sombrero sitting there, it was
a typical stereotypic.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
It was a stereotypical Mexican.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So anyway, there was a movement, and there was this
was a legitimate business and shick and this and to
stop their racism, to stop that and Trader Joe's, God
bless them. If you read their press release, all it
says is bite me.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
They did not cave. Thank you. You know, that's.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Wonderful when you have a corporation just flip the finger
and say, just leave me alone, get a life. And
so I love that. And I love Trader Joe's. I mean,
I love their stuff. Or what do I get a
Trader Joe's a lot. Their bread products are great, and
they have they don't carry many non Trader Joe's items.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Obviously it's kirkling, you know, Well.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
That's their thing.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
You know, a lot of them are manuf they're not
made by Trader joe They're made by bakers and things
like that, and then they bring them in they put
you know, kind of white label them and put their
stuff on it, or they have them made especially for them.
But they you know, they have they have a great system.
Now I can't see it as a normal day to
(11:57):
day store. I've got to go to other grocery stores
get other things. But for treats or certain quality items,
it's great.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I think they're privately owned too. I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I think I believe so it was well, I think
it was a German company privately held at bought Trader Joe's.
I mean, they're not going to tell you much about,
for example, where they get things Costco Costco. The Kirkland
batteries for example. You know it comes from Duracell. Uh,
that's a that's a gift.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I knew a baker who made bread for them and
wasn't allowed to tell anybody. It's part of the contract,
all right. They have French onion popcorn, which sounds fascinating
to me. I'd be curious. There crispy shataki mushrooms. So
this is like, you know these little crispy shtaki mushrooms.
They're battered mushrooms. Uh, kind of the texture of onion rings.
(12:49):
And you can serve them with your favorite you know,
dipping sauce. They have baked ricotta cheese. They have pizza
ranch salad kits. That sounds kind of fascinating to me. So, uh,
these kits that you can put together something to something
to look forward to if you like the Trader Joe's.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
And I do, and I think Trader Joe's is absolutely spectacular.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Appetizers, snacks, things like that. Really, I I go, I go.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I buy Ralps ninety percent of the time because there
is the store nearest of my house is Ralph's. Now
I moved, and uh, the store nearest to my house
by a factor of five miles is a Gelson's.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm great, great store, pricey, great store,
very price. But they have very cool They've got great meats. Yeah,
but it's but it is prices and they have great
prepared meals. Yeah, they do very pricey. This is I
tend to try not to go real expensive.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
My idea of a high end restaurant is where I
had lunch yesterday and I wasn't paying for it and
the cheese creatu.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Already yeah let cheese key.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, that's about as high as I get. So yeah,
I can't wait to start shopping at Gelson's. All right now.
Started something I think two weeks ago, three weeks ago,
and that is a segment that I've been playing with
in my head for a bunch of years that I
wanted to try it. And it's ask handle anything, and
(14:21):
let me tell you the concept. And here's what happens.
You go up on Apple I'm excuse me. You go
on the iHeart the Heart, iHeart app and you can
record questions and go to the microphone.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
During the show. You go to the KFI page.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Microphone the up or right hand corner, push on the microphone,
and then you record fifteen seconds or less and you
record a question of me. And it's basically anything. Well
it wasn't anything. I got kind of humiliated the first
couple of times. And what happens is those are recorded,
Neil and go through them and then throw them at
(15:01):
me and I answer them spontaneously.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I have not heard the questions before.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
This is a case of first impression, as they say
in the courts, the court has not heard this particular
argument or set of facts before, and then the answer
comes through.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So let's do it. And we've recorded, you've recorded, And
who's going to take this?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
And or a Neil Neil Kono's got it, he's going
to play them. I pulled the pulled them on.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
They're ready to go.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Hi handle is bk and Irvine?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
So a long time ago in a galaxy far far away?
Do you think Yoda was a jew? That's assarily a
very good question. And I don't know. He's very gnome
like and very small.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So based on the size of Yoda and the shrinkage,
you know, he's a very shrinked.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Up, old small man. I would say yes, clearly you're not.
There is no going Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I would say yes based on those factors, Yes, Yoda
was ajew Okay, good question, Billy.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
What do you like better doom or gloom?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
I know you have a preference doom.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Or gloom, Yeah, because you're always doom and gloomy.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
First of all, I think they're inextricably connected. Doom is
not the same without gloom. Gloom is not the same
without doom. You don't prefer one doom. I think doom.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I think you lead with doom and gloom follow It
was not a bad movie either.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Doom.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, all right, next question, Good morning, Bill, Oh god,
this is a bit.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I'd love to know what the worst thing you've ever
had in your mouth. Doesn't have to be food, doesn't
have to be nasty, it doesn't interesting, thank you, it
seems fun.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
And this is one of those where I modified the
ask handle anything concept.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Well, she it doesn't, she said, doesn't have to be
rude or crude, and it doesn't have to be food
like just it could be a dental instrument.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Here is the problem.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
The most interesting thing I've had in my mouth is crude.
Is rude, and U it's ask handle anything but that. Okay,
So I'm not gonna answer that.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I saw you eat it has a bird bird vomit soup.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I did do that. Yeah. And I've had haggis in
my mouth. I've eaten hagis.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
How's he doing?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Not bad? Not bad?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Moving on?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Moving on?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
Hey Bill Cliff in Las Vegas, Nevada. I love your
show man always. Great question. What is a typical breakfast
for you Monday through Friday? And what is the breakfast
for you on the weekends?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Okay, go, good question.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Okay, Monday through Friday, when I'm on the air, it's
frittata's from Costco a bagel.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Usually what's in the frittata? Is it like a sausage
for tada? No, It's like, no, it's actually a vegetable
for tata.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Really yeah, because.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Costco that's there, just like the spices in it. And
then so I'll have a bagel, and then this morning,
for example, I had when I have half a sandwich
from a deli plus meat loaf leftovers from cheesecake factory.
So I eat quite a bit, and weekends I eat
even more. Yeah, I know it's a while. I eat
(18:37):
a lot during the show. And you know, if you
listen to the show, I'm eating constantly. Matter of fact,
the show gets in the way of my eating. Never
ever heard that, It's absolutely true.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
All right, Good morning, No from San Diego. Bill likes
his Broadway and West End shows. Which one of those
shows is Bill's favorite and which one does he dislike
the most?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Good morning? Good question?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
And probably my all time favorite musical's name is I'm
just absolutely crazy about it. The worst one I've ever
seen is Starlight Express. If you've ever seen that is
the hear what the worst? Andrew Lloyd Weber musical that
has ever ever been. It's a bunch of people on
roller skates in a roller rink that's built right onto
(19:22):
the stage. It's like a velodrome kind of thing, and
they sing and the songs are just horrific, and you
remember anything. There have been some really bad ones. There
was one that I saw at Siegerstrom, Tina Turner something.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I walked out halfway through it. That's hard for me
to walk out halfway through it. So those are the ones.
That was a good question, by the way, because.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I am a musical guy, and what am I going
to see? Last?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I saw that was fabulous. Mulin Rouge, it was incredible.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
What's your husband's favorite one?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
South Pacific by the.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Ha, I'm going to wash that man right out. I
actually saw that with you.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, it's great musical, love it, love it a lot
of I love revivals, starting with Showboat.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Oh man, Rita all right. I like revivals too. They're
just a little different, and they happen in a tent.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
He could walk again. He could walk again.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Next question, Bill Handle, what type of a Jew are you?
I know you're Jew by race, but I want to
know are you an Orthodox Jew, regular Jew or a
nonpracticing Jew.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Okay, that's I'm curious. Yeah, that's a good question. First
of all, Jews are not race.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
It's not a race ethnicity, it's ethnicity, and it is
a religion. It's also a culture. It's one of the
few religion slash culture. For example, there isn't a culture
of Christians. There isn't Christian food, and there is Jewish food.
And I am what did he say?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Orthodox? I am not? What was the second one that
he asked?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
You just said are you orthodox? Are you're not Orthodox?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Asked if you were a regular Jew? No?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No, I am unleaded. Yeah, i am, I'm not. I'm
an irregular Jew. And I've had that problem for many
years and tried a lot of medication for it, and
I still haven't beat it.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Let's move on.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Hi, Bill, this is Gretchen from marinal Valley.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
I'd like to know your history of employment, because you've
worn different hats, particularly how did you get into radio?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Thank you and have a great day.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's actually a great question that I don't share very
often because of my background in surrogacy. I was fairly
well known and I used to do a ton of
interviews over at what was the Heritage Station. Unlike KFI,
I'm not going to mention the name KBC, And I
was interviewed I don't know, half a dozen dozen times
(21:55):
before the program director one day's walking down the hall
and he said, Bill, I've been listening to your interviews.
You're better than half the people I have.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
I know all.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I'm better than all the people you have here.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
And next thing I know, handle on the law was
created nineteen eighty five. If you can believe that nineteen
eighty five, I'm going to hit forty years.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Next year, forty years of horrible advice.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And I still don't know a tremendous amount about the law.
You think that I'd be asked eight zillion times the
same question and I still don't know it. That's true.
I mean I could look it up, but why what
do I care if it's good advice or not. The
whole point is that I give you rotten advice. And
when I tell you and you actually follow it and
(22:46):
go ahead and sue me for negligent referral. You know
I got a I work for iHeart, let them pay.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Okay, Next, Good morning, Bill, This is Angel Lak I'd
like to know if you can share with your most
significant or memorable or embarrassing moment during your elementary school years.
Thank you have a great thing.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
No, no, you don't remember.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, no I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
No I would, but there's no embarrassing. I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I don't remember elementary school when I first started. I
came to this country and I didn't speak English. I
was six years old. I know, I was six years old,
and they put me in first grade. It was a
baptism and fire. There was no English's second language stuff
going on, and I only spoke Portuguese. And my father
(23:41):
and mother, being East European Old East European Jews, they
bought me jeans that I was going to grow into,
so they were three sizes too large, and my dad
was in construction, so instaid.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
We told that story, my lunchbox story. I've done that several.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Times, and instead of a little bat Man lunch box
or Superman little square ten lunchbox, he'd get me an
industrial workers lunchbox, you know the big ones with the
dome on the top, and you had the vacuum, you
have the thermas inside, and I carry this big lugging thing.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And oh man uh.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And then my dad would make lunch and very you know,
the other kids would have sandwiches with a crust cut off.
And I remember in June when it was very hot,
I'd open up, uh, the lunch box, and my father
just I don't understand it, would put have put two
pieces of rye bread in there without any wrapping so
(24:37):
they were dry completely. And then there was one slice
of blownee that has that have come off the bread
and was sticking to the side of the metal lunch box,
and I would peel it off and put it in
the sandwich.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
That was probably. Yeah, that was a tough one.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Explains a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
It does, actually it does. And I was in therapy
for forty years on that one. All right, we're done, guys.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:00):

just fun? It really is? All right Neil two to
