All right, Neil, I'm gonna pretend you are a guest
just appearing on the show.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Good morning, Neil, and thanks so much for joining us.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Good to be here, Bill, big fan, big fan.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Now we start with the Olive Garden. I happen to
like Olive Garden.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Oh I do too.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It is a chain you know, people really look down
at chain restaurants.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I like him. So this is hilarious. This hold on,
I'm gonna sneeze. Oh boy, Okay, I turned off the mic.
I turned off the mic. Oh god, what a messis mic?
Sock is Scott? It's actually dripping. Uh okay, that's completely disgusting.
(02:12):
You can actually put these on the washing machine, you
know that.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Okay? Where worry?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Olive Garden and the title that you put up, Neil
comes up with these topics. The Olive Garden just released
three new products that are inedible.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Well, these three new food products, No, they're not. You know.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
This is a story that I love because it shows
how you have to be a player in anything.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
You have to think out of the box.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
So as Bill said, and I've said many times, I'm
a fan of Olive Garden, My family loves it and
we go all the time. I love chain restaurants. I
think they're an important part of the ecosystem, the culinary ecosystem,
just like fast food, mom and pop and chef forward.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But I thought this was hilarious.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
For summer, they launched new pool noodle floats.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
And I was just and they're actually kind of cool looking.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So they have their classic float to lie on is
inspired by their Feticini alfredo.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about a
float as in a drink and I'm going noodle float.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That got me interested.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
No, they have it.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
They have the taking it easy Tortalina Tortellini rather u
and uh. You can sit on top of it or
float on it. They have the relaxing Rigatoni float. They
even have the uh, you know, all these different shapes
to create your own pasta.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Menu the things that we know and we love breadsticks and.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
All that, but these are blow up pool floats and
the Tortellini crack.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Me up because you could sit in it.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's like a blow up chair for the pool. These
are all in time for summer, and I just thought,
as I'm going through the stories, how funny it is
that it's not even about food stuff anymore. To be
out there, you've got to come up with other ways.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And what people here there. I'm thinking I never would
have thought of that. What a great marketing tool.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's fun that people talk about for example, it's we're
talking about it and they effectively gotten a commercial for
no money.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
You know, whoever came up with whoever came up with
that at the either the advertising agency or the pr
agency that they have deserves a raise because it's clever
as hell.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Yeah, and you go to their website and that's where
you can find it and the I think it's at
shop dot olivegarden dot com.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Can you get? Can you get as many as you want?
It never ends. They just keep on and giving it
to you and.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Giving it to your pool floats.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
No salad red sticks, Yes, which is a great deal.
By the way, it's a stellar deal. But you have
to be a club member to get the early which
has already passed. But the June thirtieth at two pm
Eastern Standard time is when the it goes on safe Yea.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I hate I hate those special deals because you have
to give them your email and you get to make
a mail blast fifteen times a day, and it's here's
our menu item.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Here's one next to you when they go geo targeting.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Here's our special No, no.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Just.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I know, do the garbage one. I know, and I
haven't done that yet, and I'm going to do that.
I'm absolutely going to do You're absolutely right, Ald, great
round divided serving tray.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, what's that about?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And by the way, yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Know what you mean by a divide.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Here's the thing. I don't put these together usually for you.
I do it for the audience. I know that confuses you.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yes it does.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Here's the thing you have the fourth of July coming up.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yes, and in this case, there is this round divided
serving trade.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's actually quite nice.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
It's ceramic, it's round, and then it has these It's
got five separators in it and then a sixth round
one in the center. So it's great for dip and
things like that. These go for about seventy seventy five
bucks at some of your other retailers and at Aldi,
(06:41):
and it looks almost identical at Aldi their own I
think their their brand, their you know, Kirkland brand is
called Crofton and that's the that's the chain's line of
in house brand for like kitchen wear and home goods
and things like that. This is nineteen ninety nine, Okay,
(07:02):
So to find something exactly like this at Pottery Barn
or WILLIAMSONMA would be seventy bucks.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I have looked at these before, and seventy dollars down
to nineteen dollars usually means paper mache.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No, actually, and I misspoke. I said this was ceramic.
It's not.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
It's mellowine. And they're exactly They're both made from the
same thing. And the reason why I say that these
things work excellent outside, they work very well outside. They're tough,
they're nice to look at. It's a great way to
(07:43):
separate different types of chips or if you're gonna have
a creditee or in a dip or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
These are really good. We have a bunch of mellowing.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Plates and cups and things like that for around the
pool and they look nice, but they actually hold up
quite well.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Now, let me tell you about my July fourth, which
is a little bit different. What I do is I
put all the crude tes, the appetizers in one big
bowl and then I just dump it onto one of
the tables and my guests go at it like they're
looking for cabbage.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Patch dolls just before Christmas. So that one, I may.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Actually sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Actually it is.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That sounds like yeah, nothing like you know, prison style feeding.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, well that's all the What else do they have?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I mean, I've heard a lot about all the and
I don't know if there's anyone they have.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's hit and miss with their food because some of
it's different than.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
What used to what's that used food? No, sheap used.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm saying that it might be different taste wise. But
if you're looking to if you're looking to really find
some great deals on on you know, all kinds of
brands that are similar to what we have, then you're
good to go and you experiment. But the thing with this,
(09:08):
they have this aisle bill called the Isle of Shame
some people call it, and it's just this asle of
random stuff and you never know what you're gonna find.
Sometimes it's house good, sometimes it's small electronic.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's fun stuff. Yeah, that is when those are fun. Okay,
let's do this. I think we have one more Sonics,
which there was Sonics near where I lived, because I
lived in Mission Viejo for a while until I moved.
Then I look at Sonics, I think it's they have
near Nascar, and people shouldn't have teeth going to Sonic. Oh.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I love Sonic.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We have once you do new pickle flavored meal, is
that the entire meal that is pickle flavor?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is this is what's funny about this.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
There are some people that swear by pickles, the flavors,
pickled juice, all these things. Well, drive in Now has
launched this new limited time Big Dell Meal in collaboration
with Grillo's Pickles, a very famous popular brand of pickles,
and it's going to be nationwide starting on June thirtieth.
(10:16):
Meal includes pickle centric items all across the board, so
the Big Dill, double and triple Sonic smasher Burger. I
gotta say this, the pickle or rita slush, pickle, seasoned
tots or groovy fries. And you know, the whole thing
(10:38):
is that people that love that brininess of pickles, you know,
love this type of thing and pickle flavors as.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You describe it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It seems to me that that's what you would be
told to ingest by the Center for Poison Control after
you've in justice some kind of poison, so you puke
it up.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
How dare you? How dare you and your filthy, filthy mouth?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, absolutely, all right, guys, let me tell you what's
going to happen. Neil, by the way, of course, heard
tomorrow Saturday afternoon two to five pm with the Fork Report,
which is always fun.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's at Fork Reporter.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
If you've just joined us, It's Friday, June twenty seven,
and every week at Friday we engage in ask Handle Anything,
where people ask me personal questions because I'm always asked
personal questions, as Neil is, as Amy is, and we're
always asked who the other person are? They really like
who they are, and you get that constantly. So we're
(11:44):
opening it up to ask handle anything. These recorded questions
that Neil chooses, and I've heard him. I hear him
for the first time as you do right here on KFI.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Let's do it. Cano first question.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
For Bill handle you really think that the president runs
the country.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You don't think he's a mouth piece? Thank you for
whom for the illuminati?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I guess okay, thank you for that great question.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Next, hey, Bill, when you do those ads for real
estate companies that will buy your home side unseen, you
talk about how you downsized, So what did you move from?
And two, I'm still going to guess it's still a
little bit extravagant now.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Actually it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Moved from the Persian Palace, which was pretty big, moved
to Orange County in a very small space, and then
moved into my current house, which I bought, and it's
a touch over three thousand square feet, so it's good sized.
But it's nothing extravagant. It's just a good size house.
(13:00):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Less than one third of your Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Persian Palace. No, the Persian Palace was big.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It was and I built it and it was oversized
because man, a lot of it has to do with
my penis being too small and I wanted to prove
that I had a big house. And that's the whole
thing between me and my shrink.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Nothing? Nothing, spot on? Okay, I concur Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Next question, Bill, you gotta name your house the House
of Pain. Remember your wife has a pain podcast. And
then there's this awesome band back in the nineties. They're
called house of Pain, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Look them up.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
That's not a bad idea house of pain, house of pain,
and that describes everything, describes Lindsay with her pain issue.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It describes Lindsay living with me a house of pain.
That's not bad.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You know, we should have a contest on what I
should name the house, and you know I'm going to
give away absolutely nothing, which is the way I like contests.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Next question, Bill, I know you like to read book.
What is the hardest book you ever read? And what
is the easiest book you think all of us should read?
And what do you do with your books?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Okay, all right, fair enough, what is the hardest book
I ever read? And I'm thinking of You know, I
had to read some texts I tried a lot of
people don't know this, but prior to law school, I
tried to get a master's degree in business MBA, which
I had to drop out of because a lot of
(14:45):
it was mathematical. And so there was a mathematical book,
a math book that I just didn't understand. That was
probably the hardest book I ever read. I don't remember
the name the easiest book I ever read. I'm reading
right now and that's a Doctor Seuss book, Sam I am,
which is fairly easy.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And I do think we should.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I think we should and I do. I read a ton.
I read two three books a week, but I'm pretty.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Had a library in the living room of the Persian Palace.
Do you guys have the library?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
No, no, no, not at all. I just have a
couple of uh yeah, bookshelf. Thank you, that's the word
I'm looking for. And yeah, and I give most of
them away my books. I just don't have room to
stack them up because there's been you know, my nights staying.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I have four books stacked up.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The end table in my living room, on the side
of the couch. I book stacked up that I'm reading.
I read two three books simultaneously. So yeah, I'm a
fanatic reader because I have no life. You know, I
don't do anything else. You know, I have no friends.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I have no life.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Sounds more like ADHD. But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, everybody hates me, all right. One more question, Bill.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
This is George from Northridge. My question to you is this,
I know how you're always talking about fire seasons and
how much California well is just like a tinder box
My question to you is this, how would you or
what do you suggest be done to kind of minimize
the amount of fuel that is variable out there?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Move solid choice?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
How do you minimize You cut everything down, You take
some of these gorgeous forests of ours, like the Sequoia
Natural National Forest which has those amazing Sequoia redwood trees,
and making parking lots, you know, just parking out, just
concrete in parking spaces, and you're not gonna have anything burning.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
How the hell do I know? What do I look like?
Doctor fire?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Maven?
Speaker 3 (17:02):

(07:43):
separate different types of chips or if you're gonna have
a creditee or in a dip or whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
These are really good. We have a bunch of mellowing.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Plates and cups and things like that for around the
pool and they look nice, but they actually hold up
quite well.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Now, let me tell you about my July fourth, which
is a little bit different. What I do is I
put all the crude tes, the appetizers in one big
bowl and then I just dump it onto one of
the tables and my guests go at it like they're
looking for cabbage.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Patch dolls just before Christmas. So that one, I may.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Actually sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Actually it is.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That sounds like yeah, nothing like you know, prison style feeding.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, well that's all the What else do they have?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I mean, I've heard a lot about all the and
I don't know if there's anyone they have.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
It's hit and miss with their food because some of
it's different than.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
What used to what's that used food? No, sheap used.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
I'm saying that it might be different taste wise. But
if you're looking to if you're looking to really find
some great deals on on you know, all kinds of
brands that are similar to what we have, then you're
good to go and you experiment. But the thing with this,
(09:08):
they have this aisle bill called the Isle of Shame
some people call it, and it's just this asle of
random stuff and you never know what you're gonna find.
Sometimes it's house good, sometimes it's small electronic.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
That's fun stuff. Yeah, that is when those are fun. Okay,
let's do this. I think we have one more Sonics,
which there was Sonics near where I lived, because I
lived in Mission Viejo for a while until I moved.
Then I look at Sonics, I think it's they have
near Nascar, and people shouldn't have teeth going to Sonic. Oh.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
I love Sonic.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
We have once you do new pickle flavored meal, is
that the entire meal that is pickle flavor?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
This is this is what's funny about this.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
There are some people that swear by pickles, the flavors,
pickled juice, all these things. Well, drive in Now has
launched this new limited time Big Dell Meal in collaboration
with Grillo's Pickles, a very famous popular brand of pickles,
and it's going to be nationwide starting on June thirtieth.
(10:16):
Meal includes pickle centric items all across the board, so
the Big Dill, double and triple Sonic smasher Burger. I
gotta say this, the pickle or rita slush, pickle, seasoned
tots or groovy fries. And you know, the whole thing
(10:38):
is that people that love that brininess of pickles, you know,
love this type of thing and pickle flavors as.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
You describe it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It seems to me that that's what you would be
told to ingest by the Center for Poison Control after
you've in justice some kind of poison, so you puke
it up.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
How dare you? How dare you and your filthy, filthy mouth?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yes, absolutely, all right, guys, let me tell you what's
going to happen. Neil, by the way, of course, heard
tomorrow Saturday afternoon two to five pm with the Fork Report,
which is always fun.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's at Fork Reporter.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
If you've just joined us, It's Friday, June twenty seven,
and every week at Friday we engage in ask Handle Anything,
where people ask me personal questions because I'm always asked
personal questions, as Neil is, as Amy is, and we're
always asked who the other person are? They really like
who they are, and you get that constantly. So we're
(11:44):
opening it up to ask handle anything. These recorded questions
that Neil chooses, and I've heard him. I hear him
for the first time as you do right here on KFI.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Let's do it. Cano first question.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
For Bill handle you really think that the president runs
the country.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You don't think he's a mouth piece? Thank you for
whom for the illuminati?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I guess okay, thank you for that great question.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
Next, hey, Bill, when you do those ads for real
estate companies that will buy your home side unseen, you
talk about how you downsized, So what did you move from?
And two, I'm still going to guess it's still a
little bit extravagant now.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Actually it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Moved from the Persian Palace, which was pretty big, moved
to Orange County in a very small space, and then
moved into my current house, which I bought, and it's
a touch over three thousand square feet, so it's good sized.
But it's nothing extravagant. It's just a good size house.
(13:00):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Less than one third of your Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Persian Palace. No, the Persian Palace was big.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
It was and I built it and it was oversized
because man, a lot of it has to do with
my penis being too small and I wanted to prove
that I had a big house. And that's the whole
thing between me and my shrink.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
What did you say?
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Nothing? Nothing, spot on? Okay, I concur Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Next question, Bill, you gotta name your house the House
of Pain. Remember your wife has a pain podcast. And
then there's this awesome band back in the nineties. They're
called house of Pain, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Look them up.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
That's not a bad idea house of pain, house of pain,
and that describes everything, describes Lindsay with her pain issue.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It describes Lindsay living with me a house of pain.
That's not bad.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
You know, we should have a contest on what I
should name the house, and you know I'm going to
give away absolutely nothing, which is the way I like contests.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Next question, Bill, I know you like to read book.
What is the hardest book you ever read? And what
is the easiest book you think all of us should read?
And what do you do with your books?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Okay, all right, fair enough, what is the hardest book
I ever read? And I'm thinking of You know, I
had to read some texts I tried a lot of
people don't know this, but prior to law school, I
tried to get a master's degree in business MBA, which
I had to drop out of because a lot of
(14:45):
it was mathematical. And so there was a mathematical book,
a math book that I just didn't understand. That was
probably the hardest book I ever read. I don't remember
the name the easiest book I ever read. I'm reading
right now and that's a Doctor Seuss book, Sam I am,
which is fairly easy.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
And I do think we should.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I think we should and I do. I read a ton.
I read two three books a week, but I'm pretty.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Had a library in the living room of the Persian Palace.
Do you guys have the library?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
No, no, no, not at all. I just have a
couple of uh yeah, bookshelf. Thank you, that's the word
I'm looking for. And yeah, and I give most of
them away my books. I just don't have room to
stack them up because there's been you know, my nights staying.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I have four books stacked up.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
The end table in my living room, on the side
of the couch. I book stacked up that I'm reading.
I read two three books simultaneously. So yeah, I'm a
fanatic reader because I have no life. You know, I
don't do anything else. You know, I have no friends.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I have no life.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Sounds more like ADHD. But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, everybody hates me, all right. One more question, Bill.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
This is George from Northridge. My question to you is this,
I know how you're always talking about fire seasons and
how much California well is just like a tinder box
My question to you is this, how would you or
what do you suggest be done to kind of minimize
the amount of fuel that is variable out there?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Move solid choice?
Speaker 2 (16:32):
How do you minimize You cut everything down, You take
some of these gorgeous forests of ours, like the Sequoia
Natural National Forest which has those amazing Sequoia redwood trees,
and making parking lots, you know, just parking out, just
concrete in parking spaces, and you're not gonna have anything burning.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
How the hell do I know? What do I look like?
Doctor fire?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Maven?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
