Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Cafi Handle here on a Foody Friday, May sixteenth, and
Foody Friday is all about strangely enough food on Friday.
Neil Sabedra and I jump into the topic at the
bottom of the hour, it's ask Handle anything.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
So I just loved the last hour of this show.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
And Neil heard tomorrow with the Fork report his Foody
Saturday from two to five. All right, Neil puts up
these topics that we talk about, and he has one
and we instantly go to anything having.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
To do with Costco.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And yesterday I was at Costco. Now keep in mind,
I am in a boot because I just had surgery
last Thursday and I can barely walk.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
There.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I was at Costco yesterday and it's on my Instagram
page at Bill Handle show, and I will show you
or you will see I bought my regular stuff at Costco.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Saddest thing I've ever seen is that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, so go to at Bill Handle show on Instagram.
Now what's going on at Costco? Because I didn't see this.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You know, this is great because we're coming in to
the warmer season and maybe you're having people over to
the house. We've got a Memorial Day weekend and all
of these things. I thought this was a really great deal.
In the freezer section of Costco, you go there, there
is these boxes of dough rod cookie, dough cookies ready
(01:51):
to bake, one hundred and twenty chocolate chip cookies, ready
to go in your oven and bake for like twenty
five bucks. One hundred and twenty cookies. So they come
in this box and they're the little pucks and there
you can take them off, put them onto a cookie
sheet and bake them off as you need. But think
(02:13):
of that, that's you're paying less. Well, you're maybe fifty
cents of cookies something like that for these nice sized
chocolate chip cookies that'll be fresh baked in your oven
for guests.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And it's only chocolate s and it's only chocolate chip cookies. Correct.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, that's the only ones that I've seen. That is
the only ones that I've seen. And they come on
a little sheet of parchment, but they I just thought
this was a great deal for entertaining, you know, making
that many cookies.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Why am I thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That the fifty cents of cookie is not that great
a bargain if you are cooking them at home, even
with buying frozen dough, seems pretty expensive to me.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You can't, are you kidding for it to be prepared
like that? Come on, now, one hundred and twenty cookies
or what I call one cookie, I would just fash
them together and make it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And how You're just really curious? How big are they?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You know, they're pretty sizable. So I'm looking at the
sheet now, these are these are be sizeable cookies there?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, you know I'm not a hugean I'm cookies.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, I'm not a big, big fan of chocolate chip cookies. Anyway,
I'm with the few people. You're not crazy chocolate. I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, now here is something and I didn't understand it,
and uh here it's uh, I'm just gonna read it
verbatim that Neil put up till there's a pill designed
to make your fart smell like chocolate. You want to
explain that to me, because I don't know quite where you're
going with that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So, well, this is I didn't design it, but there
is this pill. Uh apparently that was created and it's
designed to mask the smell of your flatulence. And he
built this algorithm or whatever, and he tried to figure
(04:15):
out how you could make your flatulence smell like chocolate.
So the folks at food Beast got their hands on
some of these and they tried them, and the conclusion
is they don't work. One person that tried them for
(04:35):
a couple of weeks, the lead that build up in
your system, said that they started they stopped having gas altogether,
which may not be a bad thing, but I mean
it's natural, but you're supposed to take two to six
capsules per day with food. And another person said, hey,
they just don't work at all. But I thought, you know,
(04:58):
necessity is the mother convention.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So one of the reasons I'm not a lot in
the studio is because you know, I eat in the morning,
and let's say I've had gastro intestinal issues.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And when I do that, I notice everybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You all have placards that you hold up with both hands.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Nine point three, nine point eight.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's very impressive. Occasionally I'll get it. Occasionally i'll get
a ten point zero.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You and I were flying together and oh god, yeah,
a situation when we landed and the whole plane I
heard people people cussing in like six different languages.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's actually true, by the way, that is a true story,
even the point where I, you know, I was actually
fairly conscientious about it. I actually went into the rest room,
but when I opened the door, you could actually see
the green the gas coming out. It was.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That is more true than notting drop it. I've had
more than one occasion like that with you.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, it's great stories Neil and I. Okay, Now, barbecue sauce.
One of the things that I have become a big
fan of is grilling. And because O'Neil, I went out
and got a big green egg which he introduced me to.
And going to Neil's house for a grilling experience is
(06:38):
really something. He's got an outdoor kitchen that's insane. One
of the things that we have done is a barbecue
and barbecue sauce. I do not make my own barbecue sauce.
There are too many excellent barbecue sauces out there. So
let's go through the list. What are your favorites? So
what to look for in a barbecue sauce.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So I love this because you know, everybody's gonna have
their own taste. But these allrecipes dot com is a
great website. And they went around and talked to actual
pit masters and these grillers who do make their own sauces,
and said, but which where what do you go to
for when you're not making your own sauce, when you're
(07:20):
gonna get something over the counter off the shelf, And
there was two that stood out, And there are two
that I have here in the house all the time.
So the two best store bought barbecue sauces is Sweet
Baby Rays Award winning barbecue sauce is an excellent barbecue
sauce to have in the house at all times, and
(07:42):
these are not expensive for anything, and Stubs Sticky Sweet
barbecue sauce, the original too great. Now we also, like
you know, Bullseye and all that here at the house
as well. But these are two that pit masters love
and will tell you right off the bat that they
(08:04):
will use. So if I'm just doing even a simple
barbecued chicken, keep in mind that barbecue sauce does have
sugar in it, so you don't want to add it
at the beginning. You want to add it near the
end of the cook and so you can get caramelized
a little bit and all of that but doesn't burn.
You don't want it to burn.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Hey, I've seen barbecues. We all have seen.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Bottles of barbecue sauce range anywhere from three dollars dollars
a bottle to sixteen dollars a bottle. Are the real
expensive ones worth it? And are the little, the less
expensive ones that much of a bargain that those are
really worth it?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, some of these are, you know, like two dollars
and fifty cents for an eighteen ounce bottle. That's not
bad at all. That's inexpensive. So, you know, it depends
what your your tastes are. You're obviously I say, get
what you want, you know, get what you like, it
doesn't matter. I'm just saying that these have complexity. You've
(09:05):
got that brown sugar, you got apple cide or vinegar,
some worcestershire sauce. These are things that you want in
there to build flavor and layer flavored. But your tastes
may be different than mine, or maybe you want them
on ribs versus chicken or what have you. But I
think you know, stubs I think is around four bucks
(09:29):
for eighteen ounces. That's not bad at all either. You know,
you're not dumping it all at one time on a
piece of chicken.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Sweet and tangy is my go to sweetness and at
the same time that little punch to it, that little
bit of heat, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think I think you would love sweet baby Rays
barbecue sauce. It's an excellent barbecue sauce.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, you know what I think I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You don't have a thing about ribs, I'm gonna do that,
or I'm going to go to Costco and pick up
their ribs that are pre made like their chickens, which
are fantastic, because you have a choice either use your
three thousand dollars grill or go to Costco and pick
up a chicken and some ribs.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Laziness is an interesting trade of yours. Yes, it absolutely,
you know, with the silver skin that way on the ribs.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Oh, although I had just to let you know the
other a couple was it? Last week?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I had Lindsay's folks over and I made a BEEFI
a ribbi roast basically.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah roast. Did you do it on your big green egg?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I actually did it in the oven because I can't
walk very well, so I wasn't gonna go back and
forth to the backyard, but it was spectacular.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Basically, it was a prime rib.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And it was oh it literally it was like butter
because actually it was butter and they.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
With bones in it.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, pretty much. Okay, we're done Neil tomorrow two to
five o'clock with the Fork Report. All right, if you've
been around, we have been around here on the station.
That is, everybody has a job here has a show,
and we've been around for years. Inevitably, whenever I go out,
I'm asked, what's Neil, like, what's Amy? Like, what's Cobalt like,
(11:24):
what's Conway? Like Gary and Shannon, and they get the
same thing as we're always asked about each other. So
with that created ask handle anything. So you don't have
to ask them, you can ask me. So these calls
have been recorded as we do throughout the week, and
Neil and choose the calls. I have not heard them.
(11:45):
I'm hearing them for the first time, and I answer
the calls spontaneously as honestly as I can. There are
a few things that I keep to myself, not very many.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And let's do it all right. Cono first, question.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Handle, I have a question on your Ask Candle program.
I would like to know what is an ass candle?
The size, matter, or color? Should it be tapered or not?
And if so, which end of the candle do you like?
I have a follow up question, and that is could
you please clarify what is a pasta thon?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Wow? Yes, I don't even know where I go with that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What is an ass candle?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And which end do you light?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah? Well, depends on the mood I'm in.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's for starters, depends on how COVID is in the
house or outside. And what is a pasta or pasta thon?
Is what we do every year to raise money for
Katarina's Club. Okay, fine, all right, No it was kind
of marginal.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Let's do it. Another question, Hey.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Bill, this is Christy.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I was curious about what you think about Judge Judy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
She makes thirty five million dollars a year. That's what
I think about her. And what's even scarier is I
actually had a Judge show in nineteen ninety five, a
nationally syndicated show that went absolutely no place.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I made no money.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It was canceled two minutes after I started it, and then.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
She comes aboard and makes a fortune.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
She does the best job of a judge show of
anybody out there, and now there's zillions of them and
they're all Judge Judy wannabes. So yeah, I'm a bit.
I'm actually a big fan. And it's cheap to do
the show. The only thing that costs is her and
they make a fortune with it, and she makes a
fortune with it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Okay, next question, good.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Question, Hey Bill, Is it true that successful people like
yourself wake up at four am so they're never late
for work?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Wow, that's a weird question. Success waking up at four am?
I don't think I has anything to do with each other.
First of all, I usually wake up a three thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Uh. And how many times have I late to work?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Uh? In the whatly thirty two years I've been doing this?
In July, I think I've been living on time to work.
You're late for the breaks.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, yeah, that is a given. I'm late for the
breaks all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But here on time.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You just always on time? Yeah, And one thing has
nothing to do with the other. The early word, catching
the worm or something other ridiculous up early and they
work hard or something that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, one thing has nothing to do with the other.
All right, next question, Hey.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Bill, this is John. If you were to write a book,
what would it be about.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The you?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I've actually been asked to write a book a couple
of times because of my background is surrogacy. One of
the first few people out there to ever do it.
When I started surrogacy, I there were two of us
on the planet that we're doing it, and it's just
too much work.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'm just not interested. And what would it be about?
Everything I tell you on the show every day? What
would the title be?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, considering how I got into radio, one of them
would be how to be Successful by being a Dick?
That would be one of them. The other one the
other title was I never met a meal I didn't like.
That's sort of a Will Rogers theme kind of title.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
So all right, that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I think another one for you would be, Hey, you
going to eat that?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
That's true? I mean that, I do you know? I
go to Neil will tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I go to restaurants with Neil and as passing and
people are close to finishing their meal. I will actually say, Hey,
are you going to finish that? The strangers total strangers.
I mean, that's perfectly good food. They're not taking it
in a doggie bag.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Before we finish up with Ask Handle Anything, Tonight, the
Dodgers take on the Angels the Dodger Stadium first pitch
at seven. Listen to all the Dodger games on AM
five seventy l A Sports Live from the Gallpin Motors
Broadcast Booth. Stream all Dodgers games and HD on the

Speaker 3 (16:10):
All Right, we finished the show.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Last segment of Ask Handle Anything, where I get to
answer your questions, and I don't know what's more fun.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Probably your questions are more fun. So let's do it. CONO.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Next question, Hey Bill, this is John. Do you think
that double decker freeways would work?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Huh wow?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Well do no double decker sandwiches work?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Right? I certainly have a lot of questions, is all
I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I have no idea. You think it works a lot?
What do mean work?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
What work in terms of traffic, works in terms of looks,
work in terms of you take a swan dive off
of it and you're gonna commit suicide. So you're one
floor up to really do a good job. As your
head hits the pavements. We get a lot of different answers.
What do you think if you add too? Yes, I do? Okay,
thank you?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
There you go there asked that? How deep is that?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Should asked? Will all right?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's true, but this is ask candle anything? So uh
and ain't gonna be asked? Will anything?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
All right?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Cono? Next?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Good morning handle Denise Promotionside California.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Question.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
What's Cono like? Why do you dislike him so much?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I don't know what's the deal.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Is he really that unlikable?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yes, he is that unlikable, But I will tell you
I like Cono, and you can ask anybody here. The
more I dive into them and harass them, the more
I like them. It's the people I just don't care
about that. I ignore that I dislike. So Kono is
one of my favorite people. I think Cono's great. I mean, Cono,
(18:07):
let me ask you, do you think I dislike you?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I think this is the opioid's talking. This is what
I think.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Of course I dislike you. You know this is all
for the purposes of radio. I mean, I can't stand
any of you. I mean, that's the reality, and you're right,
this is today. I like you because I'm on opiates
because of the pain for my surgery.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I love you out and I'll just have a recording
of Bill saying he likes me.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I love you man. Yes, I just think you're the best.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
He is so high right now, he's gonna take the
California bar again.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, I mean, I am.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm I'm on I am on percocet because of the
pain of my foot with the surgery.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I am ripped, all right. Next question, a Bill.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Why are you so proud of being a dish?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's a good question, and you know, I just am.
I don't think there's any particular reason I am so proud.
You know, pride is one of the big sins?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Is it one of the sins?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Neil deadly sins?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Okay, Yeah, So that's a double hit for me being
a dick and two being proud of it. Hey, that's
two out of seven. We'll move to the third one.
What is the next one?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Cono?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Hey, Bill, I got a question for you on your divorce.
Did you have to pay alimony?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Actually I don't. I don't have to pay alimony because
Marjorie is very well taken care of. I was very
very careful. We were very very careful in saving our money.
I've said this many times before that we've lived way
under our means, so we've saved enough to where that said.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The answer is no on that one. And that's honest too,
by the.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Way, So you were prepared to leave her?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
No, I was prepared that. Well, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I was prepared to retire at sixty five, and I
planned our retiring at sixty five, and here i am
a bunch of years later, and I'm still working and
will continue to work.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
So you know, she doesn't need it, and it is
not asking for it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I know why you work because if you didn't, you're nothing.
That's correct, nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, I'm nothing anyway, you have all right? All right, Next,
let's do what I think we can do. One more question.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Hey Bill, it's John. Good morning. Are you aware that
all the people that work on your show don't like you?
And are you worried about a mutiny?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Ooh, that's a great question.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
To the answer, the first question is yes, I am aware,
and number two, am I worried about a mutiny? No,
we're all under contract, so I don't have to worry
about a mutiny.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Where are you gonna go when you can't go?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Why?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Avery thinking of leaving Amy?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I hope not.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Okay, there you go. Kno.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I wish you would, but no, I know. Neil isn't
Neil just cameboard? Will you're you're fairly new? Here are
you bailing?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
See there you go. I'm not either. All right, We're done, guys.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Find out what.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You know what? Let's do one. Let's do one more,
one more because we can squeeze one in.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Bill.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
How are you and your family able to immigrate from
Brazil to the United States? Did your dad get sponsored
by a company and growing up in Los Angeles? Did
you grow up in a wealthy household or were you
guys struggling.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Oh that's a good that is a very good question.
We were not sponsored in those days.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And my dad came in nineteen fifty six, and he
had waited eleven years to get into the country. He
had applied nineteen forty five from Italy, and in those days,
lee you could get in legally, and he had applied
and got his green card, and some Paula and we
followed a year later.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
So no, we weren't sponsored. And the other question, we
were pretty poor. We were pretty poor.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
My mother gave up her career as a dentist. My
dad gave up his career as an electrical engineer to
dig ditches.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Literally.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
When we first came to the United States, we lived
in a garage that we started a bathroom with the
people lived in the other garage. And then my folks
we ended up basically middle class plucks.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
So we did.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Okay, wasn't your dad a union guy? He was.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's what made him a middle class He was able
to join the electrical worker He came from electrical engineering,
but he was able to join the Electrical workers.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Union, the IBEW union eleven. That's where he joined.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
We're done, guys, all right, we come back well tomorrow morning.
I'm back eight to eleven o'clock with handle on the

bottom of the hour, it's ask Handle anything.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
So I just loved the last hour of this show.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
And Neil heard tomorrow with the Fork report his Foody
Saturday from two to five. All right, Neil puts up
these topics that we talk about, and he has one
and we instantly go to anything having.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
To do with Costco.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And yesterday I was at Costco. Now keep in mind,
I am in a boot because I just had surgery
last Thursday and I can barely walk.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
There.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I was at Costco yesterday and it's on my Instagram
page at Bill Handle show, and I will show you
or you will see I bought my regular stuff at Costco.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Saddest thing I've ever seen is that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yes, so go to at Bill Handle show on Instagram.
Now what's going on at Costco? Because I didn't see this.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
You know, this is great because we're coming in to
the warmer season and maybe you're having people over to
the house. We've got a Memorial Day weekend and all
of these things. I thought this was a really great deal.
In the freezer section of Costco, you go there, there
is these boxes of dough rod cookie, dough cookies ready
(01:51):
to bake, one hundred and twenty chocolate chip cookies, ready
to go in your oven and bake for like twenty
five bucks. One hundred and twenty cookies. So they come
in this box and they're the little pucks and there
you can take them off, put them onto a cookie
sheet and bake them off as you need. But think
(02:13):
of that, that's you're paying less. Well, you're maybe fifty
cents of cookies something like that for these nice sized
chocolate chip cookies that'll be fresh baked in your oven
for guests.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
And it's only chocolate s and it's only chocolate chip cookies. Correct.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, that's the only ones that I've seen. That is
the only ones that I've seen. And they come on
a little sheet of parchment, but they I just thought
this was a great deal for entertaining, you know, making
that many cookies.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Why am I thinking.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
That the fifty cents of cookie is not that great
a bargain if you are cooking them at home, even
with buying frozen dough, seems pretty expensive to me.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You can't, are you kidding for it to be prepared
like that? Come on, now, one hundred and twenty cookies
or what I call one cookie, I would just fash
them together and make it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
And how You're just really curious? How big are they?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You know, they're pretty sizable. So I'm looking at the
sheet now, these are these are be sizeable cookies there?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, you know I'm not a hugean I'm cookies.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah, I'm not a big, big fan of chocolate chip cookies. Anyway,
I'm with the few people. You're not crazy chocolate. I don't.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, now here is something and I didn't understand it,
and uh here it's uh, I'm just gonna read it
verbatim that Neil put up till there's a pill designed
to make your fart smell like chocolate. You want to
explain that to me, because I don't know quite where you're
going with that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So, well, this is I didn't design it, but there
is this pill. Uh apparently that was created and it's
designed to mask the smell of your flatulence. And he
built this algorithm or whatever, and he tried to figure
(04:15):
out how you could make your flatulence smell like chocolate.
So the folks at food Beast got their hands on
some of these and they tried them, and the conclusion
is they don't work. One person that tried them for
(04:35):
a couple of weeks, the lead that build up in
your system, said that they started they stopped having gas altogether,
which may not be a bad thing, but I mean
it's natural, but you're supposed to take two to six
capsules per day with food. And another person said, hey,
they just don't work at all. But I thought, you know,
(04:58):
necessity is the mother convention.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
So one of the reasons I'm not a lot in
the studio is because you know, I eat in the morning,
and let's say I've had gastro intestinal issues.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And when I do that, I notice everybody else.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You all have placards that you hold up with both hands.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Nine point three, nine point eight.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's very impressive. Occasionally I'll get it. Occasionally i'll get
a ten point zero.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You and I were flying together and oh god, yeah,
a situation when we landed and the whole plane I
heard people people cussing in like six different languages.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's actually true, by the way, that is a true story,
even the point where I, you know, I was actually
fairly conscientious about it. I actually went into the rest room,
but when I opened the door, you could actually see
the green the gas coming out. It was.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That is more true than notting drop it. I've had
more than one occasion like that with you.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, it's great stories Neil and I. Okay, Now, barbecue sauce.
One of the things that I have become a big
fan of is grilling. And because O'Neil, I went out
and got a big green egg which he introduced me to.
And going to Neil's house for a grilling experience is
(06:38):
really something. He's got an outdoor kitchen that's insane. One
of the things that we have done is a barbecue
and barbecue sauce. I do not make my own barbecue sauce.
There are too many excellent barbecue sauces out there. So
let's go through the list. What are your favorites? So
what to look for in a barbecue sauce.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
So I love this because you know, everybody's gonna have
their own taste. But these allrecipes dot com is a
great website. And they went around and talked to actual
pit masters and these grillers who do make their own sauces,
and said, but which where what do you go to
for when you're not making your own sauce, when you're
(07:20):
gonna get something over the counter off the shelf, And
there was two that stood out, And there are two
that I have here in the house all the time.
So the two best store bought barbecue sauces is Sweet
Baby Rays Award winning barbecue sauce is an excellent barbecue
sauce to have in the house at all times, and
(07:42):
these are not expensive for anything, and Stubs Sticky Sweet
barbecue sauce, the original too great. Now we also, like
you know, Bullseye and all that here at the house
as well. But these are two that pit masters love
and will tell you right off the bat that they
(08:04):
will use. So if I'm just doing even a simple
barbecued chicken, keep in mind that barbecue sauce does have
sugar in it, so you don't want to add it
at the beginning. You want to add it near the
end of the cook and so you can get caramelized
a little bit and all of that but doesn't burn.
You don't want it to burn.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Hey, I've seen barbecues. We all have seen.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Bottles of barbecue sauce range anywhere from three dollars dollars
a bottle to sixteen dollars a bottle. Are the real
expensive ones worth it? And are the little, the less
expensive ones that much of a bargain that those are
really worth it?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Well, some of these are, you know, like two dollars
and fifty cents for an eighteen ounce bottle. That's not
bad at all. That's inexpensive. So, you know, it depends
what your your tastes are. You're obviously I say, get
what you want, you know, get what you like, it
doesn't matter. I'm just saying that these have complexity. You've
(09:05):
got that brown sugar, you got apple cide or vinegar,
some worcestershire sauce. These are things that you want in
there to build flavor and layer flavored. But your tastes
may be different than mine, or maybe you want them
on ribs versus chicken or what have you. But I
think you know, stubs I think is around four bucks
(09:29):
for eighteen ounces. That's not bad at all either. You know,
you're not dumping it all at one time on a
piece of chicken.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Sweet and tangy is my go to sweetness and at
the same time that little punch to it, that little
bit of heat, and it's just.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I think I think you would love sweet baby Rays
barbecue sauce. It's an excellent barbecue sauce.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, you know what I think I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You don't have a thing about ribs, I'm gonna do that,
or I'm going to go to Costco and pick up
their ribs that are pre made like their chickens, which
are fantastic, because you have a choice either use your
three thousand dollars grill or go to Costco and pick
up a chicken and some ribs.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Laziness is an interesting trade of yours. Yes, it absolutely,
you know, with the silver skin that way on the ribs.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Oh, although I had just to let you know the
other a couple was it? Last week?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I had Lindsay's folks over and I made a BEEFI
a ribbi roast basically.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah roast. Did you do it on your big green egg?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I actually did it in the oven because I can't
walk very well, so I wasn't gonna go back and
forth to the backyard, but it was spectacular.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Basically, it was a prime rib.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And it was oh it literally it was like butter
because actually it was butter and they.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
With bones in it.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, pretty much. Okay, we're done Neil tomorrow two to
five o'clock with the Fork Report. All right, if you've
been around, we have been around here on the station.
That is, everybody has a job here has a show,
and we've been around for years. Inevitably, whenever I go out,
I'm asked, what's Neil, like, what's Amy? Like, what's Cobalt like,
(11:24):
what's Conway? Like Gary and Shannon, and they get the
same thing as we're always asked about each other. So
with that created ask handle anything. So you don't have
to ask them, you can ask me. So these calls
have been recorded as we do throughout the week, and
Neil and choose the calls. I have not heard them.
(11:45):
I'm hearing them for the first time, and I answer
the calls spontaneously as honestly as I can. There are
a few things that I keep to myself, not very many.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And let's do it all right. Cono first, question.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Handle, I have a question on your Ask Candle program.
I would like to know what is an ass candle?
The size, matter, or color? Should it be tapered or not?
And if so, which end of the candle do you like?
I have a follow up question, and that is could
you please clarify what is a pasta thon?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Wow? Yes, I don't even know where I go with that.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
What is an ass candle?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
And which end do you light?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah? Well, depends on the mood I'm in.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's for starters, depends on how COVID is in the
house or outside. And what is a pasta or pasta thon?
Is what we do every year to raise money for
Katarina's Club. Okay, fine, all right, No it was kind
of marginal.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Let's do it. Another question, Hey.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Bill, this is Christy.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
I was curious about what you think about Judge Judy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
She makes thirty five million dollars a year. That's what
I think about her. And what's even scarier is I
actually had a Judge show in nineteen ninety five, a
nationally syndicated show that went absolutely no place.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
I made no money.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It was canceled two minutes after I started it, and then.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
She comes aboard and makes a fortune.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
She does the best job of a judge show of
anybody out there, and now there's zillions of them and
they're all Judge Judy wannabes. So yeah, I'm a bit.
I'm actually a big fan. And it's cheap to do
the show. The only thing that costs is her and
they make a fortune with it, and she makes a
fortune with it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Okay, next question, good.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Question, Hey Bill, Is it true that successful people like
yourself wake up at four am so they're never late
for work?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Wow, that's a weird question. Success waking up at four am?
I don't think I has anything to do with each other.
First of all, I usually wake up a three thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Uh. And how many times have I late to work?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Uh? In the whatly thirty two years I've been doing this?
In July, I think I've been living on time to work.
You're late for the breaks.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, yeah, that is a given. I'm late for the
breaks all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
But here on time.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You just always on time? Yeah, And one thing has
nothing to do with the other. The early word, catching
the worm or something other ridiculous up early and they
work hard or something that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, one thing has nothing to do with the other.
All right, next question, Hey.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Bill, this is John. If you were to write a book,
what would it be about.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The you?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That's a good question.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I've actually been asked to write a book a couple
of times because of my background is surrogacy. One of
the first few people out there to ever do it.
When I started surrogacy, I there were two of us
on the planet that we're doing it, and it's just
too much work.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'm just not interested. And what would it be about?
Everything I tell you on the show every day? What
would the title be?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Well, considering how I got into radio, one of them
would be how to be Successful by being a Dick?
That would be one of them. The other one the
other title was I never met a meal I didn't like.
That's sort of a Will Rogers theme kind of title.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
So all right, that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I think another one for you would be, Hey, you
going to eat that?
Speaker 3 (15:27):
That's true? I mean that, I do you know? I
go to Neil will tell you.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I go to restaurants with Neil and as passing and
people are close to finishing their meal. I will actually say, Hey,
are you going to finish that? The strangers total strangers.
I mean, that's perfectly good food. They're not taking it
in a doggie bag.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Before we finish up with Ask Handle Anything, Tonight, the
Dodgers take on the Angels the Dodger Stadium first pitch
at seven. Listen to all the Dodger games on AM
five seventy l A Sports Live from the Gallpin Motors
Broadcast Booth. Stream all Dodgers games and HD on the
iHeartRadio app keyword AM five seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
All Right, we finished the show.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Last segment of Ask Handle Anything, where I get to
answer your questions, and I don't know what's more fun.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Probably your questions are more fun. So let's do it. CONO.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
Next question, Hey Bill, this is John. Do you think
that double decker freeways would work?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Huh wow?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Well do no double decker sandwiches work?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Right? I certainly have a lot of questions, is all
I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I have no idea. You think it works a lot?
What do mean work?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
What work in terms of traffic, works in terms of looks,
work in terms of you take a swan dive off
of it and you're gonna commit suicide. So you're one
floor up to really do a good job. As your
head hits the pavements. We get a lot of different answers.
What do you think if you add too? Yes, I do? Okay,
thank you?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
There you go there asked that? How deep is that?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Should asked? Will all right?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
That's true, but this is ask candle anything? So uh
and ain't gonna be asked? Will anything?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
All right?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Cono? Next?
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Good morning handle Denise Promotionside California.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Question.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
What's Cono like? Why do you dislike him so much?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
I don't know what's the deal.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Is he really that unlikable?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yes, he is that unlikable, But I will tell you
I like Cono, and you can ask anybody here. The
more I dive into them and harass them, the more
I like them. It's the people I just don't care
about that. I ignore that I dislike. So Kono is
one of my favorite people. I think Cono's great. I mean, Cono,
(18:07):
let me ask you, do you think I dislike you?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I think this is the opioid's talking. This is what
I think.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Of course I dislike you. You know this is all
for the purposes of radio. I mean, I can't stand
any of you. I mean, that's the reality, and you're right,
this is today. I like you because I'm on opiates
because of the pain for my surgery.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I love you out and I'll just have a recording
of Bill saying he likes me.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I love you man. Yes, I just think you're the best.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
He is so high right now, he's gonna take the
California bar again.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah, I mean, I am.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I'm I'm on I am on percocet because of the
pain of my foot with the surgery.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I am ripped, all right. Next question, a Bill.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Why are you so proud of being a dish?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
That's a good question, and you know, I just am.
I don't think there's any particular reason I am so proud.
You know, pride is one of the big sins?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Is it one of the sins?
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Neil deadly sins?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Okay, Yeah, So that's a double hit for me being
a dick and two being proud of it. Hey, that's
two out of seven. We'll move to the third one.
What is the next one?
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Cono?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Hey, Bill, I got a question for you on your divorce.
Did you have to pay alimony?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Actually I don't. I don't have to pay alimony because
Marjorie is very well taken care of. I was very
very careful. We were very very careful in saving our money.
I've said this many times before that we've lived way
under our means, so we've saved enough to where that said.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
The answer is no on that one. And that's honest too,
by the.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Way, So you were prepared to leave her?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
No, I was prepared that. Well, here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
I was prepared to retire at sixty five, and I
planned our retiring at sixty five, and here i am
a bunch of years later, and I'm still working and
will continue to work.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
So you know, she doesn't need it, and it is
not asking for it.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I know why you work because if you didn't, you're nothing.
That's correct, nothing.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, I'm nothing anyway, you have all right? All right, Next,
let's do what I think we can do. One more question.
Speaker 6 (20:32):
Hey Bill, it's John. Good morning. Are you aware that
all the people that work on your show don't like you?
And are you worried about a mutiny?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Ooh, that's a great question.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
To the answer, the first question is yes, I am aware,
and number two, am I worried about a mutiny? No,
we're all under contract, so I don't have to worry
about a mutiny.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Where are you gonna go when you can't go?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Why?
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Avery thinking of leaving Amy?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I hope not.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Okay, there you go. Kno.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I wish you would, but no, I know. Neil isn't
Neil just cameboard? Will you're you're fairly new? Here are
you bailing?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
See there you go. I'm not either. All right, We're done, guys.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Find out what.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
You know what? Let's do one. Let's do one more,
one more because we can squeeze one in.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Bill.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
How are you and your family able to immigrate from
Brazil to the United States? Did your dad get sponsored
by a company and growing up in Los Angeles? Did
you grow up in a wealthy household or were you
guys struggling.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Oh that's a good that is a very good question.
We were not sponsored in those days.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And my dad came in nineteen fifty six, and he
had waited eleven years to get into the country. He
had applied nineteen forty five from Italy, and in those days,
lee you could get in legally, and he had applied
and got his green card, and some Paula and we
followed a year later.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
So no, we weren't sponsored. And the other question, we
were pretty poor. We were pretty poor.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
My mother gave up her career as a dentist. My
dad gave up his career as an electrical engineer to
dig ditches.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Literally.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
When we first came to the United States, we lived
in a garage that we started a bathroom with the
people lived in the other garage. And then my folks
we ended up basically middle class plucks.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
So we did.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Okay, wasn't your dad a union guy? He was.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
That's what made him a middle class He was able
to join the electrical worker He came from electrical engineering,
but he was able to join the Electrical workers.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Union, the IBEW union eleven. That's where he joined.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
We're done, guys, all right, we come back well tomorrow morning.
I'm back eight to eleven o'clock with handle on the
