Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I'm in the movie food KF I AM six forty.
Bill Handle here. Good morning. Then it's Friday the thirteenth.
It is time for well footy Friday as well as
ask Candle anything we do footy Friday. First, ask Candle
anything at the bottom of the hour and what is
(00:28):
going on? Well, oh, I'm watching the Olympics and now
the ten thousand meter skate speed skating is going on.
Those guys are incredible, by the way, and this is
the women's version. If we notice, look how big those
thighs are. I mean, it's the event should be called
(00:50):
charging rhinoceros legs. I mean that is there. Those are
really thick, muscular thighs. Boy, that's sexy, isn't that? Okay? Hey,
moving on?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It is?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh yeah it is. Yeah, I could crack you like
a walnut. Okay, moving on. I'm not going to go
beyond that either. Oh right, it's time for foody Friday.
Here we go again. Lost my train of thought there
for a moment. Neil joins me and let's just go
(01:24):
down the list. Oh you know what, let's start only
because I'm going to use the jarred pasta or the
jar of pasta today, and you have a choice. Obviously,
I have a jar of rows, which is pretty high
end raos, Yeah, raos or rows whatever, So raos which
is not in which is not inexpensive. And I'm making
(01:46):
chili or Lindsey's making chili. So do you need something
of that quality of you know, at the raos is
eight bucks? What is sixteen ounces or twenty ounces? And
then pray goo is what four dollars ninety cents? And
then there's prey go pr ay go, which is like
seventy eight cents the jar so pray when you go, Yeah,
(02:10):
that's true.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So where where do I say with that? What do
you suggest? Okay, so this is great? All recipes did
this breakdown. They asked chefs to pick the best pasta
sauce and they all unanimously picked the sauce that I
keep in my house and that you just mentioned, and
that's raos. So REOs comes from a restaurant, a small
(02:32):
restaurant in New York that have been around for a
long time. We also have there's one in Las Vegas,
and we're lucky enough to have one here in Los
Angeles as well, which is fantastic. I mean, you feel
like you're in New York when you're in there, and
they treat you wonderful and the food is fantastic, and
they're not rushing you in or out. They're just letting
you enjoy yourself in there. But REO's, like you said,
(02:55):
can't be expensive. However, I see it go on sale
to for one all the time and you have to
be you know, sometimes even a four pack. But this
goes for their marinara sauce. It also goes with their
pizza sauce. If you haven't tried their pizza sauce, it's
also fantastic. And across the board, chefs were like, this
(03:16):
is the best you're gonna get. But if barbage out,
I don't care if you're making you know, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, let me ask this. And that is a major
food conglomerate bought REOs and I forgot which one, And
now it has turned from this little mom and pop
product to being massively manufactured because they're selling them well
they costco sells them, for example, in two packs, which
(03:43):
are a great price. I buy those. Does that change
the flavor? Is it just the recipe and the line.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I've had this conversation with Conway, who is a Tim
Cobway junior, of course, heard here every single day, starting
it for until twoesday.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And then.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He was saying because he loves a good jarred sauce,
even though his wife is a cook and she makes
a great sauce. But he said that he loved REOs
at first, and then he said it kind of changed.
I don't think so, or I haven't experienced that yet,
but still I think comparatively it's an excellent, excellent.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Jarge jarred sauce.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So if you're gonna do that, if you want to
do a lesser sauce and you want to judge it up,
I'm a big fan of adding some fresh ingredients to it.
You can caramelize some onions, do a little garlic and
olive oil, and then add that to jarred sauce, maybe
some fresh chopped basil, and you can make most sauces
(04:49):
taste pretty darn good just by doing that. Maybe adding
some ground beef or lamb or something like that to
it to kick it up a bit. But I will
tell you REOs is just fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, we're making Yeah, it's sitting. It's sitting on my
counter right now. Michelle, Michelle Cube, the Cube Meister makes
a sauce from scratch.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Such she makes a Sunday gravery. I'll get to have
her on the air again. She's given the recipe on
the on my show before you can follow her at
I think it's just producer Michelle isn't it on her Instagram,
But she does the real deal. She makes fresh meatballs,
though and everything every single week.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think killing her own counts. I mean, she really
goes a fresh to a level. That arm pops Footy
Friday with Neil and some new items at Wendy's. We
enjoy doing that fast food and what the new items
is are And then Wendy's new slogan for Wendy's is
(05:54):
we want you to be square because that's where we
were at.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Good we do. Have you ever rapped professionally?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh yes, I have many many times.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Oh boy, you ever have your mom's spaghetti on your sweater?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
My mother's dad my sweater. I have everybody's spaghetti is
spaghetti on my sweater.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I often wondered why Eminem was wearing a sweater to
a wrap battle.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But that's all right, that's right, cool, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Any who, wend our friends at Wendy's has they have
two new menu items for a limited time, and I
want to make note of one because these raps are
back again. For a while, McDonald's had a rap like
a ranch rap and has chicken in it. It did
(06:43):
really well and then they disappeared. Now they're back and
slowly you're finding them everywhere. So now Wendy's has a
chicken tenders ranch rap. But the reason why I wanted
to point this out is not only because these raps.
They're delicious, they're easy to eat, and they're you know,
they are a nice you know, break from a burger sometimes,
(07:05):
and that Wendy's has superior tenders as you know, Bill, They're.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
They're insane, they're just absolutely Hey, when did this start
where you had this very limited promotional item just to
get people in the store and then it disappears. Was
it McDonald's with the McRib.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I don't know, but that's the one that comes to
my mind as well. That's the one that I think, okay,
became seasonal. And then the Shamrock shake too, that would
come once a year, at McDonald's around March.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And the Starbucks with all the yeah, with all all
the Thanksgiving stuff that you'll be at to pay.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Celebratory stuff. Yeah, Hollidays, Halloween, pumpkin everything. Yes, the PSLs,
pump and spice lattes. So Wendy's got this new chick
and Tender ranch wrap. I've had it. It's great. It
is really The ratios are good, and to me that's important.
So the ranch is not It's not covered in it
(08:12):
to the point where you're swimming in it. They also
have a cheesy bacon cheeseburger, which I have not tried yet,
but that is now on.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
These two are on the menu.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
They are supposed to launch February sixteenth, but like I said,
last time I went to Wendy's they had them on
the menus.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
To check your local offerings there.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Okay, Valentine's Day desserts, I don't want to at Costco.
Of course. A quick word about Valentine's Day desserts or
any dessert. If you like cheesecake and I love cheesecake.
The best cheesecake I have ever in my life tasted
comes from Wilfork and it is their basque. Their basque cheesecake,
(08:55):
which is for you know, the cheesecake. Normal cheesecakes is
your normal cheesecake, but this basque is sort of caramelized
on the top. It is, and it's white and airy
and spectacular. It's so good.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
The hard thing to explain to people about Wildfork is
how great their food is, because all people think of
as well, it's frozen, but you can't you can't understand it.
Guess what, By the way, they are going to be
supplying some of the proteins and that very cheesecake at
(09:30):
your barbecue that we're going to.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, I'm having a barbecue, and I want to tell
everybody you're not invited. Well, none of you.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Are donated to Katarita's Club.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well yeah, yeah, so a couple of people donated huge
money to join us at our barbecue now and it's private,
so you're not invited at all. But we're going to
broadcast it. Yes, we are going to broadcast it from
my house, and we'll be reminding you literally every thirty
seconds that you're not here. Let's finish up with the
best costco Valentine's Day desserts.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Valentine's Day is tomorrow, gentlemen, get off your ars. But
these are less than two dollars per serving at Costco,
and they're two treats. There's there's flowerless chocolate cake. They
have their molten lava cakes and their airy chocolate moose.
So they've got a lot of things going on there
(10:20):
that you can snag for if you don't want to
make the dessert that Belgian chocolate moose. The things that
they have there are delicious, They're easy to grab, and
I'm a big fan of the reason why I did
sauces and these desserts. I'm a big fan of pasta,
(10:41):
not heavy, heavy, big big, but little nests of pasta,
kind of like the.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Anaheim White House.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
They do a trio of pasta, and I think that
is such a lovely and you know, sultrey appetizers. So
I'm a big for Valentine's Day, some nice little nests
of pasta.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Just one quick question before we bail out of here
and go to ask Candle anything I've always wondered, and
I haven't paid particular attention, But how do you make
a flowerless cake? Don't you need flour for virtually all cake?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Technically it's not a cake like that it becomes like
a mouse or a ganage.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh okay, but they call it cake. All right. That
answers that question. It's foody Friday, Ask Candle Anything Friday.
It's also Friday the thirteenth, as we finished the show
every Friday with Ask Candle Anything. And it's all about
you recording a recording a question. And you do that
(11:42):
anytime during the show. You go to the iHeartRadio app
and then this show will be broadcast and then you
just click on the microphone in the upright hand corner
and record a question and then I answer them. And
the rules are always the same. I have not heard
the question, Neil chooses the question. And because some of
them are repetitive, some of them are derivative, derivative, and
(12:08):
some are just uh kind of nuts, although we like
the counter nuts one. Okay, So ask handle anything. Let's
start cono. Hey Bill, why don't you play the tape
that you used to have?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The guy said, I hate minudo.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's an old one, and that's how long I've been
listening to you. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't even remember that.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I didn't remember that.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Well, yeah, I don't remember that. That was during the
old days. Possibly the Maybe it was a drop or something.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I don't Yeah, I don't remember. Maybe. Okay, good answer,
good question. No I hate Menudo. Okay, it's tripe.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You're tripe.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I am right. Don't talking about the band. Maybe it
is because I really like then I didn't like them either. Okay,
next question.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Hey Bill, my question.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I know sometimes you say that law enforcement and not
want people are not heroes in your eyes, because that's
their line of work.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
But at what point, right at that point when you
cut out, at what point do you think they are heroes?
I think number one, when they've gone beyond the call
of duty and when they put their lives on the
line to either rescue someone or to save someone's lives
(13:30):
showing up to work, they're not heroes. That's their job.
And heroes the military their heroes. How about the guy
who is a barber in the military. I once met
a military guy in Israel. He was a barber in
the Israeli forces. That is not a hero to me.
That's all.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
He could cut your he could throw those scissors, mind
all right, but that's and that's what I view as
a hero. That's all.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It's just throws to go.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And do a job that's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, no, no, I think you go into a that's
not heroic. It's a job, you know, that is dangerous.
That's not heroic. That isn't at least in my opinion. No,
you know, going into a burning building. By the way,
going into a burning building is not particularly heroic to
me either. When a fireman does that. Now, when the
(14:22):
fireman is at risk for losing his or her life
and goes in, and it would be reasonable for that
fire person not to go in because it's that dangerous,
that's heroic to me. Wow. Yeah, all right, moving on.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Hi, Bill, I'm calling cuz I heard you talking about
your Platinum cookware and your tariffs, and I was wondering
if you and your partner Saple have tried to manufacture
in the United States. Do Americans make stain the steel pans?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oooh good question. My partner and I, Saville and I
have something called Platinum Cookware where import cookwar from China,
and the tariffs are astronomical. I think we're paying one
hundred and thirty five percent in teriffs. Problem is, manufacturing
the United States is ridiculously expensive. It would triple the
(15:14):
cost of the cookware. So it is very, very tough.
One of the things that the president wants to do
is bring back manufacturing the United States. He doesn't point
out that there's going to be a hell of a
lot more money because well, for example, a car worker
in Mexico makes three dollars an hour. A car work
in the United States makes thirty dollars an hour. So
(15:38):
it's that's why. All right, You know, these questions are
just I'm doing topics, Neil, what are you doing to me?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh yeah, it's weird today is weird? Yeah, I know
the listeners. Okay, let's do another one. Let's do another one,
or do one about his butthole. Yeah, butthole's good.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You can enjoy himself.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, Well that you can take that on several different levels.
Uh okay, Bill. My question to you is this, Can
you explain to me the difference between a Jew and
a Hebrew.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Ah, that's a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Uh yeah, one's a hot dog. Uh yeah. One is
generally a banker or some kind of doctor or lawyer. Uh.
They're actually interchangeable. A Jew is religion. Hebrew is a
definition of a person that goes back to Biblical times.
(16:40):
You speak Hebrew, you do not, and you do not
speak Jewish, although I speak Jewish. There's Yiddish, which is
a form of uh, which is a form of Hebrew.
Mixing it up. Yeah, it's a good question. That's a
good question. They're mainly interchangeable. Uh, it's uh yeah, does
that make sense? That sort of flummos me. That was
a great question.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Could someone be he Brewish?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
One can be he Brewish? Okay, yeah, I think so.
It's no. I'm gonna think about that one. You know,
good question. You got me from. You got me on
that just to make me think, let's do it more?
Handle on? Uh? What ask handle anything?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hey, good morning, Bill.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So my question for you is on your radio show
in the morning, have you ever had an interview and
unhandled with the law. Have you ever had a call
that caught you off guard and you actually got emotional
and and kind of showed it out on air that
it touched you a little deeper and you thought possible.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Thanks. No, there's never been a call that hit made No. Nothing,
Nothing has hit me emotionally. Nothing. And what was the
first question. I've already loved you, have I owned no? No,
God no, I've never never interviewed something that you know.
I know now. I came close. I came close to
(18:05):
a teacher, a kindergarten teacher that watched as her entire
class was hacked to death by some crazy guy and
described how these little five year olds were screaming and
they were dying. And that was close, but not really. Okay,
Jesus man, Okay, moving on.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Hey, question for Bill, if you had to do your
show with another host on KFI, which one would you pick?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And why? None of them?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
That's not an option?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean that's just no, none of them. I think.
Let me tell you that if I were the program director,
I would fire everybody and put myself on probation. That
is no, I would not. I have noticed to have
(19:01):
another show. I don't. I do a lot. I do
a show I have, you know, Neil and I have
uh you know Kno's part of it, and certainly Amy's
part of it. And you know I'm forced to do that.
I have no choice. I got a contract. But other
than that, no, I do the news. I would do
the board. I would do what Neil does. I would
certainly do what will does you know? Looking looking at
(19:23):
a screen and just reading off what traffic is. Well,
here we are in the four oh five and it's delayed.
And okay, thank you, you're a genius.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Thank you can read your name?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't Okay, moving on, I think we have some more.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Hi, Bill, Suzanne and Newport Beach love the show. I
wondered if Marjorie is dating at all? Is she on
online dating match dot com?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
You know, I don't know. I don't know. Uh, and uh,
I wish you were.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I want some of that Marjorie money.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I know, yeah, I know know it. You know, we
have an amicable, very amicable relationship, and I'm very very
lucky because it could have been really tough. But the
answer is, I don't know. Peppino, Yes, okay, poor boy.
All right, Uh, I think we have time for one.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
More Good morning Bill.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
My question is, back when you were in high school,
do you remember your SAT score? And just for the
fun of it, why don't you go look up Gavin
Newsom's SAT score?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Okay, have a great day, thank you? Uh SAT scores?
Back in high school, I was doing so many drugs.
I don't even remember high school. Okay, that's for starters,
and so I now I don't remember my SAT scores.
I did really well in the English part and I
did horrible in the math part. But I don't remember
(20:54):
uh and I don't. I don't remember what high school
I don't. That's what you do when you do the
amount of I gotta tell you when I joke about
taking this enormous amount of drugs when I was younger,
it's not a joke. There's a lot of my life
that I don't remember. Wow, yeah, no, it happens. It happens,
(21:15):
matter of fact. Leaving the show every day, I try
to forget what we talked about. Okay, guys, that's it.
We are done. Gary and Shannon are next. Always fun
when we do ask Handle anything, and it starts Monday

It is time for well footy Friday as well as

anything at the bottom of the hour and what is
(00:28):
going on? Well, oh, I'm watching the Olympics and now
the ten thousand meter skate speed skating is going on.
Those guys are incredible, by the way, and this is
the women's version. If we notice, look how big those
thighs are. I mean, it's the event should be called
(00:50):
charging rhinoceros legs. I mean that is there. Those are
really thick, muscular thighs. Boy, that's sexy, isn't that? Okay? Hey,
moving on?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
It is?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh yeah it is. Yeah, I could crack you like
a walnut. Okay, moving on. I'm not going to go
beyond that either. Oh right, it's time for foody Friday.
Here we go again. Lost my train of thought there
for a moment. Neil joins me and let's just go
(01:24):
down the list. Oh you know what, let's start only
because I'm going to use the jarred pasta or the
jar of pasta today, and you have a choice. Obviously,
I have a jar of rows, which is pretty high
end raos, Yeah, raos or rows whatever, So raos which
is not in which is not inexpensive. And I'm making
(01:46):
chili or Lindsey's making chili. So do you need something
of that quality of you know, at the raos is
eight bucks? What is sixteen ounces or twenty ounces? And
then pray goo is what four dollars ninety cents? And
then there's prey go pr ay go, which is like
seventy eight cents the jar so pray when you go, Yeah,
(02:10):
that's true.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
So where where do I say with that? What do
you suggest? Okay, so this is great? All recipes did
this breakdown. They asked chefs to pick the best pasta
sauce and they all unanimously picked the sauce that I
keep in my house and that you just mentioned, and
that's raos. So REOs comes from a restaurant, a small
(02:32):
restaurant in New York that have been around for a
long time. We also have there's one in Las Vegas,
and we're lucky enough to have one here in Los
Angeles as well, which is fantastic. I mean, you feel
like you're in New York when you're in there, and
they treat you wonderful and the food is fantastic, and
they're not rushing you in or out. They're just letting

(02:55):
can't be expensive. However, I see it go on sale
to for one all the time and you have to
be you know, sometimes even a four pack. But this
goes for their marinara sauce. It also goes with their
pizza sauce. If you haven't tried their pizza sauce, it's
also fantastic. And across the board, chefs were like, this
(03:16):
is the best you're gonna get. But if barbage out,
I don't care if you're making you know, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, let me ask this. And that is a major
food conglomerate bought REOs and I forgot which one, And
now it has turned from this little mom and pop
product to being massively manufactured because they're selling them well
they costco sells them, for example, in two packs, which
(03:43):
are a great price. I buy those. Does that change
the flavor? Is it just the recipe and the line.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
I've had this conversation with Conway, who is a Tim
Cobway junior, of course, heard here every single day, starting
it for until twoesday.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
And then.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He was saying because he loves a good jarred sauce,
even though his wife is a cook and she makes
a great sauce. But he said that he loved REOs
at first, and then he said it kind of changed.
I don't think so, or I haven't experienced that yet,
but still I think comparatively it's an excellent, excellent.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Jarge jarred sauce.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So if you're gonna do that, if you want to

I'm a big fan of adding some fresh ingredients to it.
You can caramelize some onions, do a little garlic and

some fresh chopped basil, and you can make most sauces
(04:49):
taste pretty darn good just by doing that. Maybe adding
some ground beef or lamb or something like that to
it to kick it up a bit. But I will
tell you REOs is just fantastic.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, we're making Yeah, it's sitting. It's sitting on my
counter right now. Michelle, Michelle Cube, the Cube Meister makes
a sauce from scratch.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Such she makes a Sunday gravery. I'll get to have
her on the air again. She's given the recipe on
the on my show before you can follow her at
I think it's just producer Michelle isn't it on her Instagram,
But she does the real deal. She makes fresh meatballs,
though and everything every single week.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I think killing her own counts. I mean, she really
goes a fresh to a level. That arm pops Footy
Friday with Neil and some new items at Wendy's. We
enjoy doing that fast food and what the new items
is are And then Wendy's new slogan for Wendy's is
(05:54):
we want you to be square because that's where we
were at.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Good we do. Have you ever rapped professionally?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Oh yes, I have many many times.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Oh boy, you ever have your mom's spaghetti on your sweater?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
My mother's dad my sweater. I have everybody's spaghetti is
spaghetti on my sweater.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
I often wondered why Eminem was wearing a sweater to
a wrap battle.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But that's all right, that's right, cool, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Any who, wend our friends at Wendy's has they have
two new menu items for a limited time, and I
want to make note of one because these raps are
back again. For a while, McDonald's had a rap like
a ranch rap and has chicken in it. It did
(06:43):
really well and then they disappeared. Now they're back and
slowly you're finding them everywhere. So now Wendy's has a
chicken tenders ranch rap. But the reason why I wanted
to point this out is not only because these raps.
They're delicious, they're easy to eat, and they're you know,
they are a nice you know, break from a burger sometimes,
(07:05):
and that Wendy's has superior tenders as you know, Bill, They're.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
They're insane, they're just absolutely Hey, when did this start
where you had this very limited promotional item just to
get people in the store and then it disappears. Was
it McDonald's with the McRib.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
I don't know, but that's the one that comes to
my mind as well. That's the one that I think, okay,
became seasonal. And then the Shamrock shake too, that would
come once a year, at McDonald's around March.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And the Starbucks with all the yeah, with all all
the Thanksgiving stuff that you'll be at to pay.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Celebratory stuff. Yeah, Hollidays, Halloween, pumpkin everything. Yes, the PSLs,
pump and spice lattes. So Wendy's got this new chick
and Tender ranch wrap. I've had it. It's great. It
is really The ratios are good, and to me that's important.
So the ranch is not It's not covered in it
(08:12):
to the point where you're swimming in it. They also
have a cheesy bacon cheeseburger, which I have not tried yet,
but that is now on.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
These two are on the menu.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
They are supposed to launch February sixteenth, but like I said,
last time I went to Wendy's they had them on
the menus.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
To check your local offerings there.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Okay, Valentine's Day desserts, I don't want to at Costco.
Of course. A quick word about Valentine's Day desserts or
any dessert. If you like cheesecake and I love cheesecake.
The best cheesecake I have ever in my life tasted
comes from Wilfork and it is their basque. Their basque cheesecake,
(08:55):
which is for you know, the cheesecake. Normal cheesecakes is
your normal cheesecake, but this basque is sort of caramelized
on the top. It is, and it's white and airy
and spectacular. It's so good.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
The hard thing to explain to people about Wildfork is
how great their food is, because all people think of
as well, it's frozen, but you can't you can't understand it.
Guess what, By the way, they are going to be
supplying some of the proteins and that very cheesecake at
(09:30):
your barbecue that we're going to.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah, I'm having a barbecue, and I want to tell
everybody you're not invited. Well, none of you.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Are donated to Katarita's Club.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well yeah, yeah, so a couple of people donated huge
money to join us at our barbecue now and it's private,
so you're not invited at all. But we're going to
broadcast it. Yes, we are going to broadcast it from
my house, and we'll be reminding you literally every thirty
seconds that you're not here. Let's finish up with the
best costco Valentine's Day desserts.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Valentine's Day is tomorrow, gentlemen, get off your ars. But
these are less than two dollars per serving at Costco,
and they're two treats. There's there's flowerless chocolate cake. They
have their molten lava cakes and their airy chocolate moose.
So they've got a lot of things going on there
(10:20):
that you can snag for if you don't want to
make the dessert that Belgian chocolate moose. The things that
they have there are delicious, They're easy to grab, and
I'm a big fan of the reason why I did
sauces and these desserts. I'm a big fan of pasta,
(10:41):
not heavy, heavy, big big, but little nests of pasta,
kind of like the.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Anaheim White House.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
They do a trio of pasta, and I think that
is such a lovely and you know, sultrey appetizers. So
I'm a big for Valentine's Day, some nice little nests
of pasta.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Just one quick question before we bail out of here
and go to ask Candle anything I've always wondered, and
I haven't paid particular attention, But how do you make
a flowerless cake? Don't you need flour for virtually all cake?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Technically it's not a cake like that it becomes like
a mouse or a ganage.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh okay, but they call it cake. All right. That
answers that question. It's foody Friday, Ask Candle Anything Friday.
It's also Friday the thirteenth, as we finished the show
every Friday with Ask Candle Anything. And it's all about
you recording a recording a question. And you do that
(11:42):
anytime during the show. You go to the iHeartRadio app
and then this show will be broadcast and then you
just click on the microphone in the upright hand corner
and record a question and then I answer them. And
the rules are always the same. I have not heard
the question, Neil chooses the question. And because some of
them are repetitive, some of them are derivative, derivative, and
(12:08):
some are just uh kind of nuts, although we like
the counter nuts one. Okay, So ask handle anything. Let's
start cono. Hey Bill, why don't you play the tape
that you used to have?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The guy said, I hate minudo.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's an old one, and that's how long I've been
listening to you. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't even remember that.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I didn't remember that.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Well, yeah, I don't remember that. That was during the
old days. Possibly the Maybe it was a drop or something.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I don't Yeah, I don't remember. Maybe. Okay, good answer,
good question. No I hate Menudo. Okay, it's tripe.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
You're tripe.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I am right. Don't talking about the band. Maybe it
is because I really like then I didn't like them either. Okay,
next question.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Hey Bill, my question.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I know sometimes you say that law enforcement and not
want people are not heroes in your eyes, because that's
their line of work.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
But at what point, right at that point when you
cut out, at what point do you think they are heroes?
I think number one, when they've gone beyond the call
of duty and when they put their lives on the
line to either rescue someone or to save someone's lives
(13:30):
showing up to work, they're not heroes. That's their job.
And heroes the military their heroes. How about the guy
who is a barber in the military. I once met
a military guy in Israel. He was a barber in
the Israeli forces. That is not a hero to me.
That's all.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
He could cut your he could throw those scissors, mind
all right, but that's and that's what I view as
a hero. That's all.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
It's just throws to go.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And do a job that's dangerous.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
No, no, no, I think you go into a that's
not heroic. It's a job, you know, that is dangerous.
That's not heroic. That isn't at least in my opinion. No,
you know, going into a burning building. By the way,
going into a burning building is not particularly heroic to
me either. When a fireman does that. Now, when the
(14:22):
fireman is at risk for losing his or her life
and goes in, and it would be reasonable for that
fire person not to go in because it's that dangerous,
that's heroic to me. Wow. Yeah, all right, moving on.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Hi, Bill, I'm calling cuz I heard you talking about
your Platinum cookware and your tariffs, and I was wondering
if you and your partner Saple have tried to manufacture
in the United States. Do Americans make stain the steel pans?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Oooh good question. My partner and I, Saville and I
have something called Platinum Cookware where import cookwar from China,
and the tariffs are astronomical. I think we're paying one
hundred and thirty five percent in teriffs. Problem is, manufacturing
the United States is ridiculously expensive. It would triple the
(15:14):
cost of the cookware. So it is very, very tough.
One of the things that the president wants to do
is bring back manufacturing the United States. He doesn't point
out that there's going to be a hell of a
lot more money because well, for example, a car worker
in Mexico makes three dollars an hour. A car work
in the United States makes thirty dollars an hour. So
(15:38):
it's that's why. All right, You know, these questions are
just I'm doing topics, Neil, what are you doing to me?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh yeah, it's weird today is weird? Yeah, I know
the listeners. Okay, let's do another one. Let's do another one,
or do one about his butthole. Yeah, butthole's good.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You can enjoy himself.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Yeah, Well that you can take that on several different levels.
Uh okay, Bill. My question to you is this, Can
you explain to me the difference between a Jew and
a Hebrew.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Ah, that's a hot dog.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Uh yeah, one's a hot dog. Uh yeah. One is
generally a banker or some kind of doctor or lawyer. Uh.
They're actually interchangeable. A Jew is religion. Hebrew is a
definition of a person that goes back to Biblical times.
(16:40):
You speak Hebrew, you do not, and you do not
speak Jewish, although I speak Jewish. There's Yiddish, which is
a form of uh, which is a form of Hebrew.
Mixing it up. Yeah, it's a good question. That's a
good question. They're mainly interchangeable. Uh, it's uh yeah, does
that make sense? That sort of flummos me. That was
a great question.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Could someone be he Brewish?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
One can be he Brewish? Okay, yeah, I think so.
It's no. I'm gonna think about that one. You know,
good question. You got me from. You got me on
that just to make me think, let's do it more?
Handle on? Uh? What ask handle anything?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Hey, good morning, Bill.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So my question for you is on your radio show
in the morning, have you ever had an interview and
unhandled with the law. Have you ever had a call
that caught you off guard and you actually got emotional
and and kind of showed it out on air that
it touched you a little deeper and you thought possible.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Thanks. No, there's never been a call that hit made No. Nothing,
Nothing has hit me emotionally. Nothing. And what was the
first question. I've already loved you, have I owned no? No,
God no, I've never never interviewed something that you know.
I know now. I came close. I came close to
(18:05):
a teacher, a kindergarten teacher that watched as her entire
class was hacked to death by some crazy guy and
described how these little five year olds were screaming and
they were dying. And that was close, but not really. Okay,
Jesus man, Okay, moving on.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Hey, question for Bill, if you had to do your
show with another host on KFI, which one would you pick?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
And why? None of them?
Speaker 3 (18:39):
That's not an option?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, I mean that's just no, none of them. I think.
Let me tell you that if I were the program director,
I would fire everybody and put myself on probation. That
is no, I would not. I have noticed to have
(19:01):
another show. I don't. I do a lot. I do
a show I have, you know, Neil and I have
uh you know Kno's part of it, and certainly Amy's
part of it. And you know I'm forced to do that.
I have no choice. I got a contract. But other
than that, no, I do the news. I would do
the board. I would do what Neil does. I would
certainly do what will does you know? Looking looking at
(19:23):
a screen and just reading off what traffic is. Well,
here we are in the four oh five and it's delayed.
And okay, thank you, you're a genius.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Thank you can read your name?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't Okay, moving on, I think we have some more.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Hi, Bill, Suzanne and Newport Beach love the show. I
wondered if Marjorie is dating at all? Is she on
online dating match dot com?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
You know, I don't know. I don't know. Uh, and uh,
I wish you were.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I want some of that Marjorie money.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I know, yeah, I know know it. You know, we
have an amicable, very amicable relationship, and I'm very very
lucky because it could have been really tough. But the
answer is, I don't know. Peppino, Yes, okay, poor boy.
All right, Uh, I think we have time for one.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
More Good morning Bill.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
My question is, back when you were in high school,
do you remember your SAT score? And just for the
fun of it, why don't you go look up Gavin
Newsom's SAT score?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Okay, have a great day, thank you? Uh SAT scores?
Back in high school, I was doing so many drugs.
I don't even remember high school. Okay, that's for starters,
and so I now I don't remember my SAT scores.
I did really well in the English part and I
did horrible in the math part. But I don't remember
(20:54):
uh and I don't. I don't remember what high school
I don't. That's what you do when you do the
amount of I gotta tell you when I joke about
taking this enormous amount of drugs when I was younger,
it's not a joke. There's a lot of my life
that I don't remember. Wow, yeah, no, it happens. It happens,
(21:15):
matter of fact. Leaving the show every day, I try
to forget what we talked about. Okay, guys, that's it.
We are done. Gary and Shannon are next. Always fun
when we do ask Handle anything, and it starts Monday

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
