Speaker 5 (01:43):
Yeah. Yeah, so it's Martian anal probes because as what
you you wish?
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah, you sit outside with a foil hat and a flashlight.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
All right, let's do it. Come learn from me.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Let's do it Footy Friday, and we start with the
coke coat has been broken.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I'm assuming the formula for Coca Cola. This is fascinating.
So for the longest time you have proprietary stuff. Okay,
you can't. There's as a lawyer, you know this. You
cannot copyright a recipe.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
A recipe is just a list. As a lawyer, I
didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
But you can't copyright any technique that's proprietary or things
like that. But for a long time, you know, whether
it was the colonel's you know what is the thirteens
nos eleven herbs, and I know it was in there.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
I was hopeful for more.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
But Coca Cola had its proprietary formula, well, it had
its recipe, it did have, but there has to be
something more than a recipe.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yeah here and now I'm going to throw my lawyer
hat on your lawyer hat. Was a chef's captain that's
a law. That's true.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Actually when I graduated law school, now it's you're right.
Recipes cannot be copyrighted trademarked. At the same time, all
Coca Cola has is the recipe, which is not protected.
So what they did is the formula. The formula. They
know what ingredients were, but how much in the way
(03:20):
it was treated portions.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Now, that was so secret.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
The recipe was kept in a safe deposit box in
Atlanta and three people in the company had access to
it over the course of years.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
That's it. That's crazy. And now it has been broken. Huh.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Well, yeah, there is big times where only like if
they had three people, one would have a third of it,
one would have a third of it the other. Well,
this guy is a YouTuber and he's into science and
what he did he claims to have reverse engineered coke
using what they refer to as mass spectrometry, and this
(04:01):
is cracking the flavor code that remained a mystery for
over a century. Keep in mind, so a year of experimentation,
this guy had a bunch of taste testers and at
this point, apparently these taste testers could not tell the
difference between his clone coca cola and the real thing.
(04:22):
So the mystique of coke, this elixir that has been
going on forever, this is what he says, makes up
that the the precise cocktail of natural flavorings that make
up you know this beverages, citrus, soils, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, tannin's,
even tiny touches of vinegar, all combined in exact ratios,
(04:46):
like you said, getting that, nailing that ratio to give
that unmistakable taste. So there's orange in there, there's lemon,
there's coriander, and putting these things together. His biggest thing was, listen,
you're not going to make this stuff at home. It's
not like you're going to be whipping this up. It's
made in a syrup and then the syrup is carbonated.
(05:09):
That's how it is. You remember the old school. Oh yeah,
So if you go into on Colorado Boulevard and Pasadena,
you can go to uh Pie and Burger and they
still mix.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
The old mix.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
They build this odyrup in there, and yeah, so no
one's going to be doing that. But his whole thing
was he just wanted to show that you could crack. Now,
with modern technology, you could crack the code. And reverse
engineer a lot of these flavors. Kind of fascinating.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And I'll tell you all, by the way, when we
say over a century ago, I mean it's century and
a half ago. I mean Coca cola came about before
the turn of the last century.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
And when did diet coke come, you know what, sixties?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Yeah, I think it was the sixties. Yeah, And I
think there's more beautiful day when it happened.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, and there's no more and there there's more die
coke sol now than regular coke, I believe in terms
of would two.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Two, well, maybe it's tab what was there? There was?
It was a tab No, it was horrible.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
And then the other thing is when they had the
day they took cocaine out of Coca cola, it was
really a depressing day, just a huge shame.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Okay, we're that's where the straw was.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
First year, it's just the fizziness, so a new this
is a first of a kind. It's kind pop tart flavor.
But I thought it was funny as to the time
of year and where this is going.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
They're making peeps.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Three new flavors of peeps, and one of them is
frosted strawberry pop tarts, but get the other two. The
other one is Sunny Delight Flavor, and I know you
love the peeps, so these will be coming soon. And
then the other one, which is a curiosity is chili.
I am mango peeps.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
So so, as a peep officionado that you are, will
you try any of those Sunny Delight? You know what
Sonny D is right? It's Drake the beverage. It's horrible.
It's it's orange juice.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's I don't even think there's a drop of orange.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Juice in it.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We didn't it was too expensive for our We didn't
have Sunny d in my house.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Sure that? What's that restaurant? Joy?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It's in the West Hollywood area and it's in the hotel.
I think it's in the w hotel that I went to.
It's really outrageous. It's just really a wonderful restaurant, very expensive,
good food, and they do different takes on food. For example,
they have a lava cake that you have to melt,
(07:52):
you know, to get the lava to it. So the
waiter waitress comes out with a welders man ask and
a but tane port and melts the chocolate.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And then they have like, for example, popcorn shrimp they
have it's in a popcorn making machine, you know, not
a popcorn bucket, you know, the machines that make popcorn,
the small ones, the facsimiles of real machines, and it
really makes popcorn. It's in one of those, the popcorn shrimp.
And then one of my favorites, I'm glad you didn't
get a dump cake. Yeah, that's very nicely done.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Uh, it's just outrageous. I'm trying to think of the name,
and it's.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, I'm someone will email us.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And then and I'm bringing this up because they have
and it's served in a toaster, and it's a pop
tart or their idea of a popcard, but it's not
hard to make the exact dimensions of a pop tart.
And it is a lobster pop tart. It's a savory
and it's lobster like lobster ravioli. And it's served in
(09:00):
a toaster, you know, sticking out from the two you know,
the two areas of the toaster where the toast goes down.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
It's I mean, yeah, it was. That is a pot well,
I told you experiences are going to lead out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I don't know if they're still there, but it's a
wild restaurant. They have an ice cream cone they call
the Marie Antoinette that's on this huge cone that they make,
and I mean it's massive. It's like three feet tall
and it just filled with ice cream. It costs hundreds
of dollars. And then on top of it is cotton candy.
(09:37):
But yeah, they do cotton candy.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
So it looks like one of those French wigs, but
incredibly high, like five feet high. And that's the Marie
on Twinette.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And it comes at our foot, no head, no comes hurt.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah. I don't know what the foot reference is about.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, yeah, but anyway, so that was a pop tart
restaurant reference.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Okay, what's going on at Aldi? Okay? This is cool.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
So if you've been online and I don't know what
it is with large bags, but large bags are always
I don't know, attractive, you know, like for grocery shopping
or whatever. There's a bag that's very popular called the
Hulkin bag. Do you know what those are in they're
on wheels but they're big. It reminds me of what
you see Amazon delivery guys sometimes when they're doing a
(10:27):
bunch of packages they carry these big bags that have
multiple and they leave them and then run up to
the houses or whatever. But they're these big bags with
wheels called Hulkin bags, but they're like one hundred and
fifty bucks.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Ye, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Said large bags, I immediately thought of will Coleshreiber. No,
that's body shaming, isn't it. Wow?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, wow, you're the one with the most shameful body.
So anyways, it's people love these things because they're huge.
You can put a lot in them that you can
use them for grocery shopping. Well, all they has one
that looks very close to the original, but it's thirty
bucks and people have gon nuts for it, so they
call it the organizer's dream bag.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
And what is the quality? Though?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The quality is nice? Look at this picture. This one
happens to be all silver. But they're they're they're on
wheels and they I don't know, there's something about I
don't I love containers. I love boxes. I look bag, but.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
This one has wheels on it.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You put a lot of stuff, you put your groceries
in there, or if you've got a child a bunch
of their stuff in.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
There, and hey, like you know what I want, But
people are paying one hundred and fifty bucks for them
or whatever. I want our listeners to see them. So
put it up to the microphone. I was showing you,
you idiots.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh, okay, got it now, I understand. So a lot
of this show I really don't understand.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, I know, like the fact that it is Oh,
Paul Corvino just wrote US President.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Paul Corvino said, it's called They're there. The restaurant is
there There.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
The restaurant there is called there. Hold on Kerry the eye. Yeah,
I don't think the restaurant is called there There, don't
I don't think, so, I don't think. And send the
w hotel. I'm sorry. I'm gonna trust him. He goes
out all the time.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I know, but I don't. You know, we have to
figure that you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Didn't even know whether it was December or January.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's correct, But I but listen, months, I may not
know restaurants that I've been to.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I know, except I don't know the name. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You actually didn't know, which is why our boss is
texting us.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Now we do that a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Okay, let's take a break third base say, yeah, Paul,
I think you're wrong for the first time.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I think Cordino is not correct on that one. Oh
I'll be hosting on Monday. Yes you will, Yes you will.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
All right, Oh Friday, a foody Friday, and ask handle
anything Friday as we do, as we always broadcast the
end of the show before we do, asking for your
help to help Cono get a car.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
His car blew up.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He drives seventy two miles each way from where he
lives in the Inland Empire, and strangely enough, not only
do they have meth labs there, but Cono uses it
to stay awake because he's driving seventy two miles, So
it's a double yeah no, no, no drugs here, okay, okay, yeah,
that's fine and protests too much. And in the meantime,
(13:21):
we're helping Kono buy a car because his car really
blew up and he works for iHeart bad.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Combination in terms of being able to afford a car.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So there's a go fundme page that was created, and
the way you get to it is to go to
KFI A M six forty dot com slash cono k
O n O, and that'll put you right into our
page where we're helping Kono. And please please do because
he's basically a good guy and you are and you

this again, so calendar this and deserves the help. So
it's KFI A M six d com slash con no
ko n O. All right, it is time for Ask
Candle Anything, where you get to ask handle anything.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
The rules are always the same.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
During the show, you go onto the iHeartRadio app and
you will hear this show being broadcast, and in the
upright hand corner corner there's a microphone. You press on
that and you get to record a ridiculous question that's
going to embarrass me. Neil chooses the questions and I
hear him the same time you do, you know, first
time out, so it's pretty spontaneous.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, let's do the first question. Bill.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
We all know that Karen Bass is gonna run again
for mayor. Now my question to you is this. In
her first run, she had a Barack, Kamala and Joe
come out too. I guess campaign for her. Do you
think or do you believe that they will come out
a second time?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Okay? What is a Barack Kamala joke? Joe oh cepy Joe? Okay,
got it? Uh was president?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I get it? Got yet it? And were they gonna
come out for them? Yeah? I don't care. I just
don't give a rats. Ask what do you think?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe no,
they're thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. They probably will,
they probably won't. Maybe they'll do it after the fact,
maybe they'll do it during it. Maybe they'll do it
before the fact. More insight, Okayndles all right, moving on
more ask candle anything.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, this is for ask Bill anything. I know Bill
that you talked to doctor Kettingham Wednesdays. As we get older,
prostate and colon cancer can be an issue. But just
wondering how your prostate and colon.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Are You know what?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Good question we're gonna find out? Well, yeah, because next
Thursday or this Thursday. No, next Thursday, I no Thursday
coming up. I'm not gonna be here and I'm going
to have a colonoscopee.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
I how is that if.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
You're going to be doing that? I know you're not
going to be hosting. I can't eat, but can I
broadcast live from it?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
We I'm going to ask if we can broadcast live
from the colonoscopy. I once broadcast live from and it
was years ago. You see at U C l A
and I broadcast live from an autopsy, which was kind
of neat.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So yeah, we'll do the colonoscopy. And uh, if you
a few years ago when we used to hand out
T shirts when we actually had a budget, Uh, there
is they hand you the pictures of what the inside
of your colon looks like and we put those on
T shirts.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I can't wait for them to find your head. Yeah
to be so we're gonna do something with a pictures.
Good question.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
And my prostate? Yeah you know it's all right, Yeah,
it's fine and it works. Can you stop your stream will.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
You know I've got I've got sphincter muscles that work. Yeah.
Huh in your prostate yep, well you yeah, you can stop.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I mean physiologically I'm not really strong, but I think
it deals with your prostate.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
You know, it's uh.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Your urinary tract that I can actually see you trying
to math that near your hand.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It wasn't working. I bladder prostate, you know, the Aretha Franklin. Yeah,
that's what I meant, all right. Next next question, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Know that you do your commercials for that Zelman's. I
guess those tablets or whatever they're called. My question to
you is this, and probably could also apply to the
Bill Handle crew. Since Zelman goes into your stomach, obviously
it has to work its way through the digestions track.
Zelman's makes your breast smell better? Well, does Zelman also
(17:44):
make your fart smell better too?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You know, you would think so, but not in my case.
I don't want because I get a lot of complaints. Well,
I once did a commercial April Fools. I did a
commercial where Zelman's is now available in repository form, and
they got a couple of phone calls, say the least.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I don't know the answer. I don't think so. But
it's you know, and I have a lot of flatulence
in my life. Well, if it's I don't know, does
it or does it not? We have to ask Anthony
and Lauren uh the question on that one.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Does I want to see the clinical studies of that
because they do do clinical studies, you know, before the
product is brought out.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
They do they do they do? They do do Yeah,
they do do studies. They do. You've been listening to

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Well, yeah, there is big times where only like if
they had three people, one would have a third of it,
one would have a third of it the other. Well,
this guy is a YouTuber and he's into science and
what he did he claims to have reverse engineered coke
using what they refer to as mass spectrometry, and this

(04:22):
So the mystique of coke, this elixir that has been
going on forever, this is what he says, makes up
that the the precise cocktail of natural flavorings that make
up you know this beverages, citrus, soils, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, tannin's,
even tiny touches of vinegar, all combined in exact ratios,
(04:46):
like you said, getting that, nailing that ratio to give
that unmistakable taste. So there's orange in there, there's lemon,
there's coriander, and putting these things together. His biggest thing was, listen,
you're not going to make this stuff at home. It's
not like you're going to be whipping this up. It's
made in a syrup and then the syrup is carbonated.
(05:09):
That's how it is. You remember the old school. Oh yeah,
So if you go into on Colorado Boulevard and Pasadena,
you can go to uh Pie and Burger and they

Yeah, and there's no more and there there's more die
coke sol now than regular coke, I believe in terms
of would two.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Two, well, maybe it's tab what was there? There was?
It was a tab No, it was horrible.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
And then the other thing is when they had the
day they took cocaine out of Coca cola, it was
really a depressing day, just a huge shame.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Okay, we're that's where the straw was.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
First year, it's just the fizziness, so a new this
is a first of a kind. It's kind pop tart flavor.
But I thought it was funny as to the time
of year and where this is going.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
They're making peeps.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Three new flavors of peeps, and one of them is
frosted strawberry pop tarts, but get the other two. The
other one is Sunny Delight Flavor, and I know you
love the peeps, so these will be coming soon. And
then the other one, which is a curiosity is chili.
I am mango peeps.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
So so, as a peep officionado that you are, will
you try any of those Sunny Delight? You know what
Sonny D is right? It's Drake the beverage. It's horrible.
It's it's orange juice.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
It's I don't even think there's a drop of orange.
Speaker 5 (07:21):
Juice in it.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
We didn't it was too expensive for our We didn't
have Sunny d in my house.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Sure that? What's that restaurant? Joy?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It's in the West Hollywood area and it's in the hotel.
I think it's in the w hotel that I went to.
It's really outrageous. It's just really a wonderful restaurant, very expensive,
good food, and they do different takes on food. For example,
they have a lava cake that you have to melt,
(07:52):
you know, to get the lava to it. So the
waiter waitress comes out with a welders man ask and
a but tane port and melts the chocolate.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And then they have like, for example, popcorn shrimp they
have it's in a popcorn making machine, you know, not
a popcorn bucket, you know, the machines that make popcorn,
the small ones, the facsimiles of real machines, and it
really makes popcorn. It's in one of those, the popcorn shrimp.
And then one of my favorites, I'm glad you didn't
get a dump cake. Yeah, that's very nicely done.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Uh, it's just outrageous. I'm trying to think of the name,
and it's.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, I'm someone will email us.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
And then and I'm bringing this up because they have
and it's served in a toaster, and it's a pop
tart or their idea of a popcard, but it's not
hard to make the exact dimensions of a pop tart.
And it is a lobster pop tart. It's a savory
and it's lobster like lobster ravioli. And it's served in
(09:00):
a toaster, you know, sticking out from the two you know,
the two areas of the toaster where the toast goes down.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
It's I mean, yeah, it was. That is a pot well,
I told you experiences are going to lead out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I don't know if they're still there, but it's a
wild restaurant. They have an ice cream cone they call
the Marie Antoinette that's on this huge cone that they make,
and I mean it's massive. It's like three feet tall
and it just filled with ice cream. It costs hundreds
of dollars. And then on top of it is cotton candy.
(09:37):
But yeah, they do cotton candy.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
So it looks like one of those French wigs, but
incredibly high, like five feet high. And that's the Marie
on Twinette.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
And it comes at our foot, no head, no comes hurt.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah. I don't know what the foot reference is about.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Okay, yeah, but anyway, so that was a pop tart
restaurant reference.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Okay, what's going on at Aldi? Okay? This is cool.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
So if you've been online and I don't know what
it is with large bags, but large bags are always
I don't know, attractive, you know, like for grocery shopping
or whatever. There's a bag that's very popular called the
Hulkin bag. Do you know what those are in they're
on wheels but they're big. It reminds me of what
you see Amazon delivery guys sometimes when they're doing a
(10:27):
bunch of packages they carry these big bags that have
multiple and they leave them and then run up to
the houses or whatever. But they're these big bags with
wheels called Hulkin bags, but they're like one hundred and
fifty bucks.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Ye, when you.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Said large bags, I immediately thought of will Coleshreiber. No,
that's body shaming, isn't it. Wow?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Okay, wow, you're the one with the most shameful body.
So anyways, it's people love these things because they're huge.
You can put a lot in them that you can
use them for grocery shopping. Well, all they has one
that looks very close to the original, but it's thirty
bucks and people have gon nuts for it, so they
call it the organizer's dream bag.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
And what is the quality? Though?
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The quality is nice? Look at this picture. This one
happens to be all silver. But they're they're they're on
wheels and they I don't know, there's something about I
don't I love containers. I love boxes. I look bag, but.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
This one has wheels on it.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You put a lot of stuff, you put your groceries
in there, or if you've got a child a bunch
of their stuff in.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
There, and hey, like you know what I want, But
people are paying one hundred and fifty bucks for them
or whatever. I want our listeners to see them. So
put it up to the microphone. I was showing you,
you idiots.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Oh, okay, got it now, I understand. So a lot
of this show I really don't understand.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
Yeah, I know, like the fact that it is Oh,
Paul Corvino just wrote US President.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Paul Corvino said, it's called They're there. The restaurant is
there There.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
The restaurant there is called there. Hold on Kerry the eye. Yeah,
I don't think the restaurant is called there There, don't
I don't think, so, I don't think. And send the
w hotel. I'm sorry. I'm gonna trust him. He goes
out all the time.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I know, but I don't. You know, we have to
figure that you.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Didn't even know whether it was December or January.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's correct, But I but listen, months, I may not
know restaurants that I've been to.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I know, except I don't know the name. We'll be back.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
You actually didn't know, which is why our boss is
texting us.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Now we do that a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Okay, let's take a break third base say, yeah, Paul,
I think you're wrong for the first time.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I think Cordino is not correct on that one. Oh
I'll be hosting on Monday. Yes you will, Yes you will.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
All right, Oh Friday, a foody Friday, and ask handle
anything Friday as we do, as we always broadcast the
end of the show before we do, asking for your
help to help Cono get a car.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
His car blew up.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He drives seventy two miles each way from where he
lives in the Inland Empire, and strangely enough, not only
do they have meth labs there, but Cono uses it
to stay awake because he's driving seventy two miles, So
it's a double yeah no, no, no drugs here, okay, okay, yeah,
that's fine and protests too much. And in the meantime,
(13:21):
we're helping Kono buy a car because his car really
blew up and he works for iHeart bad.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Combination in terms of being able to afford a car.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So there's a go fundme page that was created, and
the way you get to it is to go to
KFI A M six forty dot com slash cono k
O n O, and that'll put you right into our
page where we're helping Kono. And please please do because
he's basically a good guy and you are and you
(13:52):
work very hard and he does. I won't be saying
this again, so calendar this and deserves the help. So
it's KFI A M six d com slash con no
ko n O. All right, it is time for Ask
Candle Anything, where you get to ask handle anything.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
The rules are always the same.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
During the show, you go onto the iHeartRadio app and
you will hear this show being broadcast, and in the
upright hand corner corner there's a microphone. You press on
that and you get to record a ridiculous question that's
going to embarrass me. Neil chooses the questions and I
hear him the same time you do, you know, first
time out, so it's pretty spontaneous.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
All right, let's do the first question. Bill.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
We all know that Karen Bass is gonna run again
for mayor. Now my question to you is this. In
her first run, she had a Barack, Kamala and Joe
come out too. I guess campaign for her. Do you
think or do you believe that they will come out
a second time?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Okay? What is a Barack Kamala joke? Joe oh cepy Joe? Okay,
got it? Uh was president?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (15:03):
I get it? Got yet it? And were they gonna
come out for them? Yeah? I don't care. I just
don't give a rats. Ask what do you think?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean?
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe no,
they're thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. They probably will,
they probably won't. Maybe they'll do it after the fact,
maybe they'll do it during it. Maybe they'll do it
before the fact. More insight, Okayndles all right, moving on
more ask candle anything.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, this is for ask Bill anything. I know Bill
that you talked to doctor Kettingham Wednesdays. As we get older,
prostate and colon cancer can be an issue. But just
wondering how your prostate and colon.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Are You know what?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Good question we're gonna find out? Well, yeah, because next
Thursday or this Thursday. No, next Thursday, I no Thursday
coming up. I'm not gonna be here and I'm going
to have a colonoscopee.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
I how is that if.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
You're going to be doing that? I know you're not
going to be hosting. I can't eat, but can I
broadcast live from it?
Speaker 3 (16:06):
We I'm going to ask if we can broadcast live
from the colonoscopy. I once broadcast live from and it
was years ago. You see at U C l A
and I broadcast live from an autopsy, which was kind
of neat.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
So yeah, we'll do the colonoscopy. And uh, if you
a few years ago when we used to hand out
T shirts when we actually had a budget, Uh, there
is they hand you the pictures of what the inside
of your colon looks like and we put those on
T shirts.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
I can't wait for them to find your head. Yeah
to be so we're gonna do something with a pictures.
Good question.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
And my prostate? Yeah you know it's all right, Yeah,
it's fine and it works. Can you stop your stream will.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
You know I've got I've got sphincter muscles that work. Yeah.
Huh in your prostate yep, well you yeah, you can stop.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I mean physiologically I'm not really strong, but I think
it deals with your prostate.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
You know, it's uh.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Your urinary tract that I can actually see you trying
to math that near your hand.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
It wasn't working. I bladder prostate, you know, the Aretha Franklin. Yeah,
that's what I meant, all right. Next next question, Well, I.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Know that you do your commercials for that Zelman's. I
guess those tablets or whatever they're called. My question to
you is this, and probably could also apply to the
Bill Handle crew. Since Zelman goes into your stomach, obviously
it has to work its way through the digestions track.
Zelman's makes your breast smell better? Well, does Zelman also
(17:44):
make your fart smell better too?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You know, you would think so, but not in my case.
I don't want because I get a lot of complaints. Well,
I once did a commercial April Fools. I did a
commercial where Zelman's is now available in repository form, and
they got a couple of phone calls, say the least.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
I don't know the answer. I don't think so. But
it's you know, and I have a lot of flatulence
in my life. Well, if it's I don't know, does
it or does it not? We have to ask Anthony
and Lauren uh the question on that one.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Does I want to see the clinical studies of that
because they do do clinical studies, you know, before the
product is brought out.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
They do they do they do? They do do Yeah,
they do do studies. They do. You've been listening to
