An angry squirrel hospitalized people. This reminds us when we had our own murderous squirrel at the station... Flea from the Chili Peppers was traumatized by it. Now, it's probably hiding from the coyotes that stalk the building overnight.

App KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Good Thursday Morning, Neil Sevadra and the morning crew here
with you. Happy to be with you until nine am.
We'll hand it over to Gary and Shannon, so go
know where. Also with you tomorrow and then Monday the

(00:27):
whole crew should be back together. Bill Beck in his
seat back from Greece and Italy. They were on a
cruise he and his new bride that, by what I
saw on social media and heard about when I talked
to them, was maybe less than stellar. I don't think

(00:49):
his new bride likes cruises. Handled us handle really loves
cruises because basically it's a floating house. They drop you
off in front of you know where you're gonna go,
You get off, you go there, and then you get
back on and all it is is food. So basically

(01:10):
it's a floating hotel with room service and food, and
then they drop you off see some sites to come
back on. Yeah, well we'll get the scoop. But he
didn't seem to be enjoying the food was maybe not
so good, but you know how it is. You know

(01:31):
how a meal can get could be really good if
you're with great company that's enjoying themselves, and not so
good that if his wife doesn't like you know, I
don't like a I don't think he's going on anymore cruises,
is what I'm saying. No more cruises for William, no
more cruises for other people. Is money and emergency savings

(01:56):
start to dip. Do you have emergency savings? I mean
there is. I know it seems like a luxury and
sometimes I feel like we're all set, and then there's
other times where I look around and I go, oh gosh,
we are we as tight as I feel we are
right now. Now we have the tendency to say, my
wife and I to say that we're broke when we're not.

(02:17):
That just means that our usable money, the stuff that
we plan to use, is dried up right now. Don't
touch the other stuff, and so it's not like growing
up when we were broken. That means, you know, Mom's
running out to Bert's Pharmacy to pay the phone bill
at the last minute. Otherwise it's getting shut off. That's

(02:40):
a little different. You ever remember doing that stuff where
you went to pay it. When I was on my own,
even when things were tight, I remember running into the
last minute to get your phone turned back on or
because that's what you wait till there's no water, there's
no electricity or something, and then you're like, oh, now

(03:00):
I got to pay it, and then you'd run out.
And we had a place I remember the phone bill.
You could go to Burt's Pharmacy in Newbury Park and
you would run in there and you'd pay your phone
bill to try and get it back on. And there
was a house line.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I remember like when we would get warnings or notice
that you know, we have till you know, two weeks,
and I'm like, oh, two weeks, there's another paycheck?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Yeah exactly, Oh I got it. You know now it's
there's no such thing as another paycheck. The bills are
so big you have to marry them for you to
be able to pay anything. But there are a number
of Americans that have no emergency savings. So one third
of Americans have no financial safety net to fall back

(03:45):
on at all, which is pretty scary. I've been there.
I have been there. I have been I have made
money and then gone back to not making money, which
is a real start. You know, I've naturally progressed about
every two years. I was the type of person who
wanted to move up in life about every two years.

(04:07):
I wanted to earn more and do more. But there
were some years where things you know, would go differently
and then you'd have you'd be set back. You make
less because of a situation or a change in direction.
And I remember those days where you're counting every single cent, uh,

(04:28):
and it is scary if anything happens. Fortunately, it usually
happened when you were young and stupid, so you're not
going to have Usually something come up with you know,
medical needs or things like that. But now you've got
twenty nine percent that say they would be unable to
afford an expense of over four hundred dollars. Now that's

(04:52):
down from thirty seven percent as to where it was before.
But to be wor read about a four hundred dollars hit,
that would scare me. I mean to get to that
point now, I may get to that point in my
checking account, you know, where you're like, I'll tell my wife, Hey,

(05:13):
by the way, this account we're knocking on three hundred dollars.
So just just know that there's I'm not putting any
more in that account this month. That's where it's going
to be until the next paycheck, kind of like confetti
spits it all out, until the place goes into savings,
goes into you know, it goes into different areas, and

(05:36):
then you have the pot that pays for whatever, you know,
your food, your gas or whatever. But that's we're getting
to a place where that's getting even tighter now. And
I can't tell you even if it's a small amount.
The best thing I ever learned was to put something aside,
because we never had that as a kid. Not you
could feel it and just to eat, eat, you know,

(05:59):
even if it's a put a dime aside or put
a quarter aside something, and then all of a sudden
you're like, oh, I've got this bag of quarters or
something saying that it's just to make you feel like
you're not completely blown out. And I'm not a big
credit person in the sense of I probably have two

(06:20):
credit cards or something like that, and because I just
I'm not trustworthy with that. I like things, things are fun.
I like boxes coming to the house that have fun
things in them. I'm known to walk outside and grab
a box and it has my wife's name on it.

(06:41):
I'm like, something sucky came, something boring and horrible, probably
socks or something. And there's probably zero Star Wars things
in here, or zero tools. But if I can pass
anything along, that's what changed me, is just getting good
at putting something aside and just not touching it in

(07:04):
those states, those times where you go, I just want
it's a little something, so little, and then I always
go back and go, well, now I don't want to
touch it because it's growing, and then you don't touch it.
And even like I said, like a bag of quarters,
I'm like, look at that. I don't even know what's
in there. Bad quarters, Cornstar, Coinstar, here we come. I'm

(07:24):
gonna I'll buy groceries tonight. Neil Savader in the Morning
Crew can't buy AM six forty live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app. Good morning, Happy Thursday to you, Neil Savader
in the Morning Crew, here for you. Bill Handle will
be back on Monday. Yay, the gang will all be here.

(07:44):
So very mean squirrel cousin Havoc up north. These two
people in the er residents of a San Francisco Bay
Area city are looking for this aggressive squirrel. And as
I read this, I know, what are you talking about?

(08:06):
An aggressive squirrel from up north? Yes, yes I am,
but I will tell you there is a personal tie here.
So Joan hey Black told ABC affiliate cog TV up
there or KGO TV rather, that she was walking in
the Lucas Valley neighborhood of San Raphael and a squirrel

(08:28):
seemingly came out of nowhere and attacked your leg, clawing, biting,
you know that squirrel stuff that we know that we
see but we don't want to be too close to. Also,
another woman said that she was attacked while walking the
same area the squirrel. The squirrel launched itself from the

(08:49):
ground to her face. That's not funny, Neil, and wound
up on her arm, leaving it bloody. Both women ended
up going to the emergency room. And it's it's a problem.
They put up flyers little it's it's an attack squirrel

(09:11):
beware and has a look at and it's a photo
of a squirrel jumping that be aware of that squirrel.
A lot of squirrels around my house. But the reason
why this struck me is that we have or we
had a very there used to be two of them,

(09:32):
but a very very aggressive squirrel here at iHeart Los Angeles,
right outside the main doors in the lower lobby. That
was incredibly aggressive and one of the stories I think.
I think Shannon might have had a couple of run

(09:53):
ins with this squirrel. Yeah, our little I mean they
probably saw each other, right eye, little one stuking it out.
That would be something that would be a pay per view.
I know that squirrel.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
It gave me the side eye did Yeah, it's it
used to terrorize people. I think it went after Flee
from the Red Hot Show.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
That's what that. Yes, so Flee from the Red Hot
Chili Peppers was here, I don't know, maybe going up
to I don't know, was it when the Woody Show
was here, maybe going up to see Woody or someone,
and uh, it came up to him and not like,
hey are you flee from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

(10:34):
It came up to him and he kind of looked
at it and maybe put his hand out and it
bit his finger bloody, like straight up bleeding. And he
talked about it on the air, And that's that is
one of the squirrels one of the squirrel story lore
that we hear around this place, that that squirrel and

(10:56):
every and it would see you. And let's just say,
I know when someone's trying to intimidate me. And it worked.
I felt the squirrel was like you want a piece
of this? Yeah, feeling nutty. I don't know what the

(11:19):
tough smack tuck and squirrel says like buck teeth, You
about to have them in you ass. I don't know
how it goes. I don't know, but if I could
speak squirrel, it was it's pretty. And then they he
would jump out of the trees, or he'd run up
a tree and jump off the tree, or he jump

(11:39):
up at you and people would feed him. They're like,
don't feed that squirrel. It gets angry. It's a mean
little squirrel. And you don't know if they have You
don't know if they got the rabies or something. And
I've had to deal with raccoons in our yard. Have
you ever dealt with a raccoon? They are mean. You

(12:02):
know how they say, get big, like put your hands
up and get big to scare them off. It startled
me in the backyard and it came around a corner
and I did that. I went wah, and it put
its arms up too and stood on its hind legs.
It's not cute. I got the hose. I did. I

(12:24):
got the hose. You have to show dominance. Don't look
at me like that. What am I going to urinate
on him to show my this is my territory. I did,
and he would kind of dodge it, dodge it and
like stare me in the I'm zero hyperbole. This is
not storytelling that that raccoon thought he could take me

(12:50):
and I questioned it. And they look like and when
you see them walking, they look like cats with big
fat cats with a broken back, and you're like, what
is that a cat? No, that's a raccoon and you're
about to die, all right.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
KFI you're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
KFI EM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Good Thursday morning to you, Neil Savadra and the morning
crew here with you. Bill Handle will be back with
us on Monday and we'll all be together, hand in
hand singing kumbah yah. You can take that to the bank.

(13:37):
I'm trying to bring that back. By the way, this
is Neil Savedra on the Morning Show, and you can
take that to the bank. I just like it. It's
like a sort of old timy but also kind of
little folks. Ye all right, something you could take to
the bank. I want to let you know that it's

(13:58):
Halloween time at the disney Land Resort. KFI AM six
forty wants to give you a chance to experience the
frightful fun plus the added excitement of the Disneyland Resorts
seventieth celebration. It is gorgeous at the parks right now,
just beautiful. The Happiest Halloween has brought spooky thrills and

(14:19):
chills to both Disney California Venture Park and Disneyland Park
now through October thirty first offers offering subject to restrictions
and change without notice. Keep listening for your chance to
win a four pack of one day, one park tickets
to Disneyland Park or California Adventure Park from KFI AM

(14:40):
six forty, and you could take that to the bank.
I think it's I think it's working. I think it's happening.
I think some people are going to be using it today.
You know who's not going to be using it today?
Cats and dogs. You know why, they're not peoples and
as not people's they shouldn't be saying things they shouldn't

(15:00):
be saying quirky folksy phrases for one and two, they
shouldn't be voting. And now, why do we have to
do things like this as humans? Why do we have
the Orange County officials directing the county registrar to cross
reference voter rolls with pet registration data so they can

(15:23):
make sure no pets are registered. Why? Well? A Coasta
Mesa woman was charged early this month with five felony
counts after allegedly registering her dog to vote and then
casting ballots for the pet in two elections. Sixty two

(15:44):
years old allegedly registered her dog. Her last name is Urex.
Laura Lee Eurex. That's a cool name. Why o your
ex eux? You can trust Eurex, strong, reliable and you
could take that to the bank. I don't know, is

(16:05):
it like a watch or something a handbag? The new
leather urus supple standard it's not and you could take
that to the bank. So losing complete control. Laura Lee Eurex,
sixty two registered her dog Maya gene Ux. That's the

(16:26):
problem with human names. See, no one's gonna go, hey,
mister fluffy Urix just voted. They're gonna be like, something
doesn't sound right? Is it Urux? The name of that
fancy handbag slash watch. You could take that to the bank.
But that was for the twenty twenty one gubernatorial recall

(16:51):
and the twenty twenty two primary. So she's in a
heap of trouble. And at first I was like, how
are you kinda figure out? You know, is it just
the name? You're looking for fluffies, you're looking for spots.
But no, they're going to cross reference it with the
pet registration. They're in the county. But do you have

(17:13):
to register all your dogs in Orange County? Do you
do you have animals? Do you have to register them?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
I mean, well, we just adopted a couple of puppies,
so we did register them, yes, or uh.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I think it's more about keeping that up okay, But
if you're if you're not registered, if your animals not registered,
they don't know no, So all they're going to do
is cross reference. Basically, huh do you know what? Do
you know? Where your puppies land? Politically?

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Probably along the same sides as me, since that's the
only one who talks to them and tells them and
feeds them.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
And you know they're kind of a rule wolf. Oh yeah,
you test you turned Fox and then seenn on and
see which they respond to They're like, yeah, right, right right, yeah,
Well I don't know how you. I think it's forcing
it on them because I'll be honest, I don't think

(18:19):
they watch enough TV to have an educated vote. I'm
their mom, so I can make that decision. Actually watching
TV probably makes you less able. So there are eight
thousand pet registration records they're going to cross reference to see.
So if you if you're if your pooch, your goldfish,
your cat voted, you better expect to knock on your door.

(18:45):
What an uncomfortable conversation that would be. Can we talk
to Goldie please? And the goldfish isn't gonna remember because
they've got their memories like two seconds right, like two
second some memory. They basically have living amnesia, Like everything

(19:06):
you say to them they forget. So goldfish should be horrible.
Why I don't have animals? All that fraud, all that
voter fraud, you could take that to the bank. KFI
am sixty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Good Thursday Morning,

(19:28):
Neil Savager in the morning crew with you. Happy to
be hanging out with you today and tomorrow. Bill Handle
is back and we're all together holding hands on Monday.
Join us there, won't you? You know? Hearing Gary and
Shannon they're coming up moments from now at nine o'clock,
by the way, Hearing them talk about the new memoir

(19:49):
from Priscilla Presley. I saw her once the Magic Castle
in person, like bumped into each other walking in the hall.
Beautiful lady in person a stunner. Uh but I always
feel like that's the last ditch effort to be relevant
and grab some money. I mean, they say they make
it sound nice like a memoir. I'm writing my memoir,

(20:13):
but really it's like I'm doing a money grab and
in order to do it, I'm gonna have to talk
about a lot of smack about people because this, you know,
I need money. That's how I feel. Uh you know,
I was about to say, do you know what soft
swinging means? And then I forgot forgot that we have
a sex therapist on the board today. But soft swinging,

(20:35):
you know what it means? Right, yes, is there hard swinging?
Do you really want to know? That answer is not?
I guess not. Okay, Sam Zea behind the board today.
But so the Bachelorette is coming back and the batchelor

(21:00):
Laurette this time will be Taylor Frankie Paul and she
was on the show or maybe still is The Secret
Lives of Mormon Wives, which I have not seen, believe
it or not, although it sure sounds fascinating. But she
has talked about that. She has done soft swinging with

(21:25):
her then husband now Tate Paul, her husband for what
was it a handful of years, twenty sixteen to twenty
twenty two, they would do soft swinging. So that's engaging
in kind of not choreographed but limited and agreed upon

(21:48):
rules of swinging with other couples, so limited sexual contact.
They you know, really draw the line at certain things.
So it's a limited capacity for sure, specific boundaries what
intimate behaviors are acceptable, what is not. As a matter

(22:09):
of fact, Paul was married to Tate Paul, as I said,
from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty two. Guess why they
broke up? The couple split after she said she stepped
out of their soft swinging agreement. So the way it
said sounds like she's like, I don't want a soft
swee anymore. No, that means she broke the boundaries, as

(22:31):
my guess, that soft swinging agreement, which is bound to happen.
When you play with fire, you can see that happening.

Speaker 4 (22:41):
But usually the best way to navigate those kinds of
relationships is through communications of boundaries. I mean, that's a
vital thing when you're talking about relationships like that, and
whenever boundaries get violated, there's repercussions.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Well, I'm a big believer. If you're not supposed to
go into Santa Monica, don't go into California. I know
you're guaranteed not to go into Santa Monica. So make
your boundaries as big as possible so you don't slip
in now when you start changing. My wife and I
have swinging boundaries too. Don't swing. That's our boundary. So

(23:19):
you know, you call us prudes, But I don't know
why I would want to disappoint strangers. Bad Enough I
disappoint my wife. It's like, why bring that into someone
else's bed, you know what I'm saying. But apparently since
she is now the new Bachelorette. The fear is that
this is how he said bachelorette and guess who showed up?

(23:43):
Speak of the Speak of the Bachelorette and Shannon Shell
appear so sa. The concern is now Taylor, Frankie Paul, did.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
My husband call you? Did he leave me this morning?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
And I don't know about it? Like it's like so
soft swinging.

Speaker 5 (24:01):
This is the Mormon wife that's been named Yeah, And
I don't like this.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I don't like it. They kind of soft swing on
the show anyways, don't they doesn't they jump from bed
to bed to find out who they want to be with.
That's a good point. That's an isn't it. That's that's
the the whole show. But like she's got kids. I
think she got a couple kids. You say that. I
don't like you to say that on so many different levels.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Well, I like my bachelorettes young and naive and wholesome
and not with it, not with kids yet young, dumb. Yes,
I like them young and dumb. That's what makes for
good TV. This is just gonna annoy me. This is
like a single mom who's gonna take no s and
and she also likes to swing.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (24:46):
We'll see, we'll see. I think there's been a lot
of fighting. She's a fighter. I don't want to hear
about a woman yelling at men the whole time, and
that's what it's gonna be. Do you sorry you didn't
invite me into this?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
No, No, I'm just this is just my observation is
that I have had the pleasure of sitting with you
during the show many times. Yeah, you talk about the
Bachelor the exact same way you talk about sports.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Really yeah, I get that passionate about.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
It, and then you start breaking down the players. She's
a fighter, she's gonna get it, she's gonna she's gonna
get on the turf, and there's gonna be blood. We
know that about that.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Okay, you're talking about sports.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
It's like, it's just your attitude had the same thing.
That's funny. Let's look at the tape. Yeah, see she
goes in here. Obviously there's a lean in. It's a
little intimate. That's okay, foul foul. I saw some time
and it's the time of year. I apologize. I think
you're gonna have a blast watching it. I think we're

(25:42):
gonna be hearing a lot about it the Bachelorette.

Speaker 5 (25:45):
I meant to watch The Golden Bachelor last night and
then I forgot about it.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
I don't think I've ever seen one. So this is
a guy.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
He's I think he's sixty six, sixty two, sixty six
something like that.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
That's golden now, right, and that awful.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
I want to see somebody in their mid eighties like
that to me is golden.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
That's good TV.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
But he's like in his early mid sixties. And he
caught a lot of flack months ago for going on
a podcast and saying, if they're over forty five, I'm
cutting them, ha ha ha ha. He caught so much
heat for that. So now he's on the Golden Bachelor
and the oldest woman or the youngest woman I believe,
is fifty nine. So it's exactly what he doesn't want.

(26:27):
It's all women in their sixties. He wants to date younger.
How's that going to turn out? It's not, Neil, it's not.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
You don't think that an older man can live a
happy life with a much younger woman.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
No, I'm saying that's exactly what he wants. And they
said basically no to him. So they're only giving him
women in their sixties because he realized this is the
Bill Handle Show.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Oh I'm not touching that, you know. That was the
wedding valve. Note, Ladies and gentlemen, I will be back
tomorrow after six, after Amy King and the wake up Call.
Have a blessed day. You have a blessed day. This
