Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty. I'm in the movie.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI AM six forty bill Handle here on a Friday morning,
August fourteenth. One of the big stories we're looking at
is Luigi MANGEONI is headed the federal court today and
it looks like he may plead guilty in the shooting
and the murder of the CEO of the health company
(00:33):
United Health. And we see that video always on the
news where you see the ceo I think Brian I
keep on forgetting what his last name is, Thompson Thompson.
So he's walking on the street in Manhattan, and right
behind him you see somebody pick up a gun or
put a gun up and aim to shoot him. Brian
(01:00):
Thompson Thompson, thank you, I have already forgotten that. Now,
let me ask you something. If this is not on
set dementia, you know, I'm telling you what station is this.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Exactly? Okay? Who are you?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Precisely anyway, you see the video of him about to
shoot Brian whatever his name is, in the back of
the head, but they stop it. You don't actually see
the shooting because they're just not going to do that.
I mean, it's that brutal. Anyway, he's been charged both
federally and state and he's probably in a plead guilty today.
(01:35):
It's an emergency hearing and there's a bunch of reasons
for it, which will probably pick up our Monday. Okay,
now it's time for Foody Friday with what's his name
that we do every single Friday right here on KFI
and so Neil, let's get right into it. Okay, this
is a place that I really like. There's one right
(01:58):
down the street, and that's chick and They. I just
love their sandwiches, their chicken sandwiches, and that's a nice job.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I had this span at first, but I've grown to really.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Like yeah, yeah, and they do the My favorite is
their spicy chickenness, their fried chicken sandwich.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
But they have two new ones. You want to share it? Yeah,
So I thought this was pretty cool. Chick fil A
has two brand new chicken sandwiches. We've watched this and
we've talked about it on the Foody Friday segment many
times about how a lot of fast food have battled
for the best burger and then they went to the
best chicken sandwich. This one is a fun Southern throwback.
(02:39):
And most of the time I see these things, I
see them done poorly. I'm curious about this one. Of course,
this is Chick fil A bringing chicken and waffle sandwiches
to men use nationwide. So I love the combination. A
big fan of Roscoes and chicken and waffles here in
(03:00):
Los Angeles and getting the opportunity to have something like
that that's done with what looks like a real waffle
in this case looks like a homemade waffle to me.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Maybe it is they cook, assuming they cook the waffle
right there.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
See how they put this together. But they're gonna eventually
be nationwide and they have these are done with their
chicken strips. This isn't the you know, obviously, it's a sandwich,
is not the boney in chicken that you normally would
get with chicken and waff and waffles.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
But the combination to me is curious. I'm looking forward.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
They have the spicy for you, Bill, if you want
or rilled chicken, you can do different cuts in there
as well.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know who loves the bone in chicken sandwiches more
than anybody else. A big fan of dentists. They just
absolutely love of.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
That sandwich, the bone in the chicken sandwich.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I found out McDonald's either has now or did have
their chicken and waffles where the waffle is, the sandwich
is the bread. And those are frozen waffles that come
in and waffles do okay, frozen like lego waffles go hunless.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You're going to build a little house out of them.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, those two exactly. Anyway, moving on, but they're
said to be The waffles are good from what they say.
They're soft, bit chewy without being too dense, more like
a Belgian style waffle than the airy, yeasty style one.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So that's another thing that when people came in the
international crowd came in for the World Cup. Two things
that these furriners just absolutely loved about America. One ranch
stress saying, of course we talked about that, and the
other one was chicken and waffles. They just loved chicken
(05:06):
and waffles, which does not happen in Europe because they
have chicken, they certainly have waffles, but not the two combined.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
A fantastic combination.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And the first time I tried it, You're like, why
haven't I eaten this before?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Okay, back we go to Foody Friday with Neil.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now there's a new menu that's just been released from
a cake company, nothing bunt cake. And I go there
all the time because Lindsay whenever we have parties, which
of course I immediately leave because everybody hates me and
I hate everybody else. That's what she orders, she gives
away or part of an are these little the small
(05:51):
bunts the individual cupcake type bunce. It is terrific. So
what's and they have all kinds? So what's on the
new fall?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Men? You Neil?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
The reality the you know, cream cheese, frosting and ratio frosting,
the cake and everything they do is pretty magical.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Are they cheap? No?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But are they are there?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
They are they worth it?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Absolutely one of my absolute favorite cakes, and you know,
one of the few chain uh bakeries that I really enjoy.
But they have their Fall flavors coming and they've got
the bisc Off cookie butter cake and if you're not
(06:39):
familiar with that flavor, that is one of those just
a warm, nutty cinnamony lovely flavors. They have two new
pop up buttlets, the smaller ones, the Galactic brownie cake
and apple pie cake, and these are going to be
coming to a place near you soon enough, a nothing bunt.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Cake near you. They really are.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Just if you know what the cosmic brownie is, anybody
know that? I think it's little Debbies that make them.
You can find them. They have the colorful sprinkles on top.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
You find them at the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
And the galactic brownie cake is just a fudgy chocolate
cake topped with the smooth brownie batter glaze and those
colorful candy coated rainbow sprinkles. And some are saying it
reminds them of those cosmic brownies, like a little copycat.
(07:40):
But that is going to be one of the pop
ups that is coming. And they're just the apple.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Pie cake, oh spiced buntlet Come on now.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I have to this day, I don't understand how a straight,
non gay man could buy any cake with sprinkle on it.
I mean, you know, straight people just don't do sprinkles,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
What are you saying.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Would be what am I saying? I'm saying if you
if you do sprinkles, you're gay. I mean that's that's
a medical medical I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
My gay brother who I adore and we are very
very close friends in addition to being family. Out of
the two of us, i'd be the one that went
for the sprinkles before.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, I rest my case, Neil, that's exactly right. No
straight guy would ever put sprinkles on a cupcake or
a cake.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Let me ask my roommate if he agrees. Trevor, that's
a joe.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, that's it. We'll just got it. Nothing nothing but cake,
that's fun. Nothing but excuse me? And I missed. I misspoke,
Sorry about that. Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Dominoes and someone's laughing in the background. Dominoes is giving
a five dollars reward for ordering on their new redesign
app and website. Now, I like Dominoes, you and I
like Dominoes because they have the best pan pizza out there.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I like the pan pizza. Yeah, I'm not crazy about everything.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Five dollars.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I think their pant pizza is actually an excellent pizza.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, I love it. That's what I order.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But going on there, and we use the app all
the time, so it's redesigned. They have a new website
five bucks. Now, I hate going on websites. I hate
applying for apps, because you get inundated with the side.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You're getting weird, you're getting into your you kids, get
off my lawn territory. Now, if you get an app,
it can be a great save. You can save so
much by getting the apps for particular fast food places.
And it just they're doing. They just revamped basically their
(10:02):
website and their app, and Domino's just wants you to
try it out, you know, to check it out and
to order on it. And as you order on it,
you can get five dollars off of future order after
they place a qualifying order online. So the offer runs
started on August thirty will go through August thirtieth, so
(10:24):
you've still got fifteen days and applies to orders placed
through the website or the mobile app, and then you
kind of share feedback on the redesign digital ordering experience
and those types of things.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And so it has nothing that there's nothing to do
with you joining their mailing list and getting inundated five.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Inundated with coupons for Domino's. Oh no, you're gonna get Dissa.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Wait a minute, but it's you know, how many do
you know how many of these?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It's just crazy Now you're rating up to things you
at least buy and want.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Okay, well I don't need forty six Okay, one allows
one AI creating.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
The perfect burger.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So now that is interesting, and I thought i'd bring
that up with you.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So Stanford is running this taste test and they the
researchers there trained AI on more than two thousand burger recipes.
Then they had chefs cook five of the creations for
one hundred and one people to test, and the AI
was able to build a better burger. So says those
(11:40):
that tasted them in this particular case, they looked at
these two thousand burger recipes. It enabled it to generate
original recipes using the AI based on ingredient pairings, portions,
flavor relationships, and in the taste tests, two AI designed
burgers matched or outperformed a McDonald's Big Mac for flavor
(12:03):
and overall appeal. Keep in mind, that's a best seller,
while mushrooms and beef versions offered comparable taste scores, also
reducing environmental impacts. So they wanted to see if they
could redesign a burger that was better for the earth
and was still delicious. In all of those things, and
(12:25):
they did it. Okay, I'd like to try it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, And I love growing burgers on the grill. You
and I spend time talking and enjoying.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Growers twice this week. Yeh from my boy.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
All right, okay, let's do a little bit of handle history.
We're playing around with the last two segments of the show.
It was ask handle anything, and you know what, I
want to try something different, only because I enjoy doing
things differently.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So this is handle history and what do we do well?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I like to do takeoffs on history, things that normally
people don't know about, strange, wonderful things, factoids that are
completely useless, which is part and parcel of my life.
So we came up with actually, I think Neil came
up with this, and that's ten strange historical facts that
(13:21):
sound absolutely fake. We think of wooly mammoths and how
long ago were wooly mammoths around, I mean ice age,
et cetera. Do you know that they were still around
when the pyramids were being built? Now that's a weird one.
(13:42):
Who would have ever thought that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I wish you could get a picture of those two things, now,
that would be a.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Beauty yes to take too walking.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
By walking by the pyramids.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Right, Okay. England's last public hanging was.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Twenty six of eighteen sixty eight and there was a
republic Irish Republican activist Michael Barrett, convicted for his role
in a bombing and he was hanged outside of Newgate
Prison and that was the last public education. If you
were around, you could have gone to that hanging by
(14:21):
their subway, the Tube, which has been around if you
can imagine, it has been around at that long. Even
eighteen sixty eight, London had the first underground and it
is it's tremendous. If you ever go to London, believe me,
that's what you want to take. You do not need
a car. And it was a ten minute walk from
(14:45):
the tube station, from the underground station to the hanging.
Now here's one that when I looked at was kind
of an interesting Jack the Ripper, I mean, but he
was familiar with Jack the Ripper. And there were five
deaths and it was the inner part, the sort of
(15:07):
the south central part of London where.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
This were they all prostitutes?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, I think they were. Now you've got Jack the
Ripper still making headlines. When Nintendo was founded, What is
that about Super Mario Brothers. Legend of Zelveda, the company
that made Nintendo. The Nintendo Company was founded in Kyoto,
(15:37):
Japan in eighteen ninety eighteen eighty nine to produce playing cards.
That's what they did. Jack the Ripper was out there,
and here Nintendo is still around.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's pretty impressive stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
There's a bit of history that you didn't know about,
for sure, The Great Wall of China. Now you figured
the Great Wall of China has been around for thousands
and thousands of years. It actually started the third century BC,
right before Christ but it went on and it was
finished the seventeenth century AD and stretched over thirteen thousand miles,
(16:19):
So it wasn't completed until eighteen seventy eight. And two
years before that, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The
Great Wall of China connected to the telephone.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Whoever would have thunk?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay, here's another one overlapping history, the Aztec Empire. You
think of the Aztec Empire as thousands of years old.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well, first of all, it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
It does go back a good eight hundred years, but
so does Oxford Universe. So if you had gone to Oxford.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
When the.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Site of the original capital city of Mexico was founded.
You could have studied as tech history at Oxford and
it would be modern day history.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Machu Picchu. I don't know if you've ever been to
Machu Picchu.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I mean gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, in Peru. I mean it's phenomenal. It goes back
again thousands, well at least hundreds of years. The Sistine
Chapel was painted during that time. Michael Angelo was at
work with the Sistine Chapel. You think of the Eiffel Tower,
how long ago it was. Coca Cola is older than
(17:50):
the Eiffel Tower. The last execution by guillotine that occurred
in France was the year Star Wars was released. I mean,
come on, so what happened at the same year. This
(18:14):
is another history in another offshoot, the Titanic nineteen twelve,
that's when Oreo cookies debuted. So you could have eaten
Oreo cookies on the Titanic. That's fun. The Brooklyn Bridge
and the Battle of a Little Bighorn with George on
(18:35):
Armstrong Custer, Japan's last Samurai, the true Samurai. Now we're
talking about samurai warriors that go back again thousands of
years Samurai.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Why are you making Why are you making them Jewish
Samurai samuri?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Because it is they are Jewish. It's the Samurroi Samurai.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Anyway, the last I'm roy Sayugo Tom Tacama Roastin was
alive when Alexander Graham Bell made the words made the.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
World's first phone call.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And if you remember, it was Alexander Graham Bell saying
mister Watsonburg, come here, I need you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Okay o fay. That was fun, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
As we finished Friday, August fourteenth, And on Friday the
last segment, we the last two segments, we always have
a great time and doing something a little bit different.
This segment we didn't do ask Candle anything, just because
I wanted to do something else. So this morning during
(19:52):
Foody Friday, Neil and I was talking. We're talking as
we always do, and Neil talked about a I and
how AI created the perfect burger recipe and it was
they put together or AI put together what one hundred
and one recipes. Of course I wanted to immediately go
into one hundred and one Dalmatians and this recipes that
(20:15):
you can buy in South Korea, and so this I
immediately said to Neil, what if I was giving a sermon.
Let's say I'm a religious leader and I'm doing a
sermon on Sunday, and see how AI, in fact would
create the sermon. Surprisingly enough, it is a lot more
(20:41):
generous and certainly a lot more gracious than I would
normally do.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Let me just start it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Today's sermon is about some something most of us desperately
need and absolutely do not want being told we're wrong,
because apparently that has become a human rights violation.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
We love being told to write.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
We'll sit through three hours of somebody agreeing with us,
we'll subscribe to the podcast, we'll buy the coffee mug.
But the second someone says you might, you know, you
might actually be the problem here, and all of a
sudden we're victims of oppression. And that's where religion gets interesting,
because if you strip away the stained glass, the robes,
the organ music, the little basket coming down the aisle
(21:26):
looking for money, there is an uncomfortable idea that sitting
underneath there's a huge amount of religious teaching.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You're not the center of the universe. That's it.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's the sermon. Unfortunately, I have time left, so we continue.
We spend enormous amounts of energy convincing ourselves that our
behavior is justified. I yelled at him because he started it.
I cheated because my marriage was already bad. I lie
because the truth would have hurt her. I kept the
(21:58):
money because the company screws everybody anyway. Fantastic, You've just
invented the spiritual equivalent of a plea bargain. Now that
is not something that I would particularly say. And then
the sermon goes on for three more pages. And that's
basically it. It is effectively an understanding, or my understanding,
(22:21):
through AI of human nature, and it's a lot more
gracious than anything I would ever say. Man Neil, and
I told you about this, Why would AI make me
look like basically a good guy explaining my religion, which
I'm not a big fan of.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
As you know, it's interesting the way it broke it down.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So what it did is it took elements of you
and your brashness, and it is pepper throughout there.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
However, it assumed maybe you would be kinder less. I
don't know of an a hole if you're standing behind
a pulpit ah because the attitude and the energy of
what you're saying is true because you believe people are
wrong when they make everything about them, because in truth
(23:15):
everything should be about you.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
That actually makes sense when you think about this, because
I do think it's all about me.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I do think more Trump than Trump is Trump.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
In many ways, I am and I find this fascinating
that that is where AI took it. But you said
something very interesting, putting it in within the terms and
the parameters of giving a sermon on Sunday if I
were a clergyman.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, because you're giving it input. This is what people
don't understand about AI. The fact is you have two
points of interest. Make it sound like you, but it
has to be a sermon.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, and instantly. I do think many time you are
the center of the universe. When you kill yourself, then
everybody looks at you, and legitimately you are the center
the rest of the time.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Not a chance.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It just doesn't work. I think we're done very interesting
what AI did. And I wasn't expecting that we're going
to be talking about AI a whole bunch in the
future and the different spins because it is unlimited, the
questions we have, the values, We're going to take and
just the understanding of what AI does and it's just
(24:32):
absolutely fascinating. So I'm going to end with the end
of the sermon as I would do it, and this
is something that maybe you would expect.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
This is the end of our show.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You are a moron, You are worthless, You have no
business being listened to.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Congratulations, that's it. We're done.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Monday morning, we start all over again with the same
group Tomorrow. It's a Handle on the Law from eight
to eleven o'clock, Neil with his food show, The Fork
Report from two to five. Have a good weekend and
hopefully we'll catch you on Monday.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You losers KFI AM sixty you've been listening to the
Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Catch my show Monday through Friday, six am to nine am,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty. I'm in the movie.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
KFI AM six forty bill Handle here on a Friday morning,
August fourteenth. One of the big stories we're looking at
is Luigi MANGEONI is headed the federal court today and
it looks like he may plead guilty in the shooting
and the murder of the CEO of the health company
(00:33):

(01:00):
Thompson Thompson, thank you, I have already forgotten that. Now,
let me ask you something. If this is not on
set dementia, you know, I'm telling you what station is this.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Exactly? Okay? Who are you?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Precisely anyway, you see the video of him about to
shoot Brian whatever his name is, in the back of
the head, but they stop it. You don't actually see
the shooting because they're just not going to do that.
I mean, it's that brutal. Anyway, he's been charged both
federally and state and he's probably in a plead guilty today.
(01:35):
It's an emergency hearing and there's a bunch of reasons
for it, which will probably pick up our Monday. Okay,
now it's time for Foody Friday with what's his name
that we do every single Friday right here on KFI
and so Neil, let's get right into it. Okay, this
is a place that I really like. There's one right
(01:58):
down the street, and that's chick and They. I just
love their sandwiches, their chicken sandwiches, and that's a nice job.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I had this span at first, but I've grown to really.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Like yeah, yeah, and they do the My favorite is
their spicy chickenness, their fried chicken sandwich.

this is Chick fil A bringing chicken and waffle sandwiches

as well.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
You know who loves the bone in chicken sandwiches more
than anybody else. A big fan of dentists. They just
absolutely love of.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
That sandwich, the bone in the chicken sandwich.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I found out McDonald's either has now or did have
their chicken and waffles where the waffle is, the sandwich
is the bread. And those are frozen waffles that come
in and waffles do okay, frozen like lego waffles go hunless.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You're going to build a little house out of them.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, yeah, those two exactly. Anyway, moving on, but they're
said to be The waffles are good from what they say.
They're soft, bit chewy without being too dense, more like
a Belgian style waffle than the airy, yeasty style one.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
So that's another thing that when people came in the
international crowd came in for the World Cup. Two things
that these furriners just absolutely loved about America. One ranch
stress saying, of course we talked about that, and the
other one was chicken and waffles. They just loved chicken
(05:06):
and waffles, which does not happen in Europe because they
have chicken, they certainly have waffles, but not the two combined.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
A fantastic combination.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
And the first time I tried it, You're like, why
haven't I eaten this before?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Okay, back we go to Foody Friday with Neil.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now there's a new menu that's just been released from
a cake company, nothing bunt cake. And I go there
all the time because Lindsay whenever we have parties, which
of course I immediately leave because everybody hates me and
I hate everybody else. That's what she orders, she gives
away or part of an are these little the small
(05:51):
bunts the individual cupcake type bunce. It is terrific. So
what's and they have all kinds? So what's on the
new fall?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Men? You Neil?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
The reality the you know, cream cheese, frosting and ratio frosting,
the cake and everything they do is pretty magical.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Are they cheap? No?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
But are they are there?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
They are they worth it?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Absolutely one of my absolute favorite cakes, and you know,
one of the few chain uh bakeries that I really enjoy.
But they have their Fall flavors coming and they've got
the bisc Off cookie butter cake and if you're not
(06:39):
familiar with that flavor, that is one of those just
a warm, nutty cinnamony lovely flavors. They have two new
pop up buttlets, the smaller ones, the Galactic brownie cake
and apple pie cake, and these are going to be
coming to a place near you soon enough, a nothing bunt.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Cake near you. They really are.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Just if you know what the cosmic brownie is, anybody
know that? I think it's little Debbies that make them.
You can find them. They have the colorful sprinkles on top.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
You find them at the grocery store.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
And the galactic brownie cake is just a fudgy chocolate
cake topped with the smooth brownie batter glaze and those
colorful candy coated rainbow sprinkles. And some are saying it
reminds them of those cosmic brownies, like a little copycat.
(07:40):
But that is going to be one of the pop
ups that is coming. And they're just the apple.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Pie cake, oh spiced buntlet Come on now.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I have to this day, I don't understand how a straight,
non gay man could buy any cake with sprinkle on it.
I mean, you know, straight people just don't do sprinkles,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
What are you saying.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Would be what am I saying? I'm saying if you
if you do sprinkles, you're gay. I mean that's that's
a medical medical I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
My gay brother who I adore and we are very
very close friends in addition to being family. Out of
the two of us, i'd be the one that went
for the sprinkles before.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, I rest my case, Neil, that's exactly right. No
straight guy would ever put sprinkles on a cupcake or
a cake.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Let me ask my roommate if he agrees. Trevor, that's
a joe.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Okay, that's it. We'll just got it. Nothing nothing but cake,
that's fun. Nothing but excuse me? And I missed. I misspoke,
Sorry about that. Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Dominoes and someone's laughing in the background. Dominoes is giving
a five dollars reward for ordering on their new redesign
app and website. Now, I like Dominoes, you and I
like Dominoes because they have the best pan pizza out there.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I like the pan pizza. Yeah, I'm not crazy about everything.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Five dollars.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I think their pant pizza is actually an excellent pizza.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, I love it. That's what I order.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But going on there, and we use the app all
the time, so it's redesigned. They have a new website
five bucks. Now, I hate going on websites. I hate
applying for apps, because you get inundated with the side.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You're getting weird, you're getting into your you kids, get
off my lawn territory. Now, if you get an app,
it can be a great save. You can save so
much by getting the apps for particular fast food places.
And it just they're doing. They just revamped basically their
(10:02):
website and their app, and Domino's just wants you to
try it out, you know, to check it out and
to order on it. And as you order on it,
you can get five dollars off of future order after
they place a qualifying order online. So the offer runs
started on August thirty will go through August thirtieth, so
(10:24):
you've still got fifteen days and applies to orders placed
through the website or the mobile app, and then you
kind of share feedback on the redesign digital ordering experience
and those types of things.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And so it has nothing that there's nothing to do
with you joining their mailing list and getting inundated five.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Inundated with coupons for Domino's. Oh no, you're gonna get Dissa.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Wait a minute, but it's you know, how many do
you know how many of these?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It's just crazy Now you're rating up to things you
at least buy and want.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Okay, well I don't need forty six Okay, one allows
one AI creating.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
The perfect burger.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So now that is interesting, and I thought i'd bring
that up with you.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
So Stanford is running this taste test and they the
researchers there trained AI on more than two thousand burger recipes.
Then they had chefs cook five of the creations for
one hundred and one people to test, and the AI
was able to build a better burger. So says those
(11:40):
that tasted them in this particular case, they looked at
these two thousand burger recipes. It enabled it to generate
original recipes using the AI based on ingredient pairings, portions,
flavor relationships, and in the taste tests, two AI designed
burgers matched or outperformed a McDonald's Big Mac for flavor
(12:03):
and overall appeal. Keep in mind, that's a best seller,
while mushrooms and beef versions offered comparable taste scores, also
reducing environmental impacts. So they wanted to see if they
could redesign a burger that was better for the earth
and was still delicious. In all of those things, and
(12:25):
they did it. Okay, I'd like to try it.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, And I love growing burgers on the grill. You
and I spend time talking and enjoying.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Growers twice this week. Yeh from my boy.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
All right, okay, let's do a little bit of handle history.
We're playing around with the last two segments of the show.
It was ask handle anything, and you know what, I
want to try something different, only because I enjoy doing
things differently.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So this is handle history and what do we do well?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I like to do takeoffs on history, things that normally
people don't know about, strange, wonderful things, factoids that are
completely useless, which is part and parcel of my life.
So we came up with actually, I think Neil came
up with this, and that's ten strange historical facts that
(13:21):
sound absolutely fake. We think of wooly mammoths and how
long ago were wooly mammoths around, I mean ice age,
et cetera. Do you know that they were still around
when the pyramids were being built? Now that's a weird one.
(13:42):
Who would have ever thought that.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
I wish you could get a picture of those two things, now,
that would be a.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Beauty yes to take too walking.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
By walking by the pyramids.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Right, Okay. England's last public hanging was.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Twenty six of eighteen sixty eight and there was a
republic Irish Republican activist Michael Barrett, convicted for his role
in a bombing and he was hanged outside of Newgate
Prison and that was the last public education. If you
were around, you could have gone to that hanging by
(14:21):
their subway, the Tube, which has been around if you
can imagine, it has been around at that long. Even
eighteen sixty eight, London had the first underground and it
is it's tremendous. If you ever go to London, believe me,
that's what you want to take. You do not need
a car. And it was a ten minute walk from
(14:45):
the tube station, from the underground station to the hanging.
Now here's one that when I looked at was kind
of an interesting Jack the Ripper, I mean, but he
was familiar with Jack the Ripper. And there were five
deaths and it was the inner part, the sort of
(15:07):
the south central part of London where.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
This were they all prostitutes?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, I think they were. Now you've got Jack the
Ripper still making headlines. When Nintendo was founded, What is
that about Super Mario Brothers. Legend of Zelveda, the company
that made Nintendo. The Nintendo Company was founded in Kyoto,
(15:37):
Japan in eighteen ninety eighteen eighty nine to produce playing cards.
That's what they did. Jack the Ripper was out there,
and here Nintendo is still around.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That's pretty impressive stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
There's a bit of history that you didn't know about,
for sure, The Great Wall of China. Now you figured
the Great Wall of China has been around for thousands
and thousands of years. It actually started the third century BC,
right before Christ but it went on and it was
finished the seventeenth century AD and stretched over thirteen thousand miles,
(16:19):
So it wasn't completed until eighteen seventy eight. And two
years before that, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The
Great Wall of China connected to the telephone.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Whoever would have thunk?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Okay, here's another one overlapping history, the Aztec Empire. You
think of the Aztec Empire as thousands of years old.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well, first of all, it's not.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
It does go back a good eight hundred years, but
so does Oxford Universe. So if you had gone to Oxford.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
When the.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Site of the original capital city of Mexico was founded.
You could have studied as tech history at Oxford and
it would be modern day history.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Machu Picchu. I don't know if you've ever been to
Machu Picchu.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I mean gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yeah, in Peru. I mean it's phenomenal. It goes back
again thousands, well at least hundreds of years. The Sistine
Chapel was painted during that time. Michael Angelo was at
work with the Sistine Chapel. You think of the Eiffel Tower,
how long ago it was. Coca Cola is older than
(17:50):
the Eiffel Tower. The last execution by guillotine that occurred
in France was the year Star Wars was released. I mean,
come on, so what happened at the same year. This
(18:14):
is another history in another offshoot, the Titanic nineteen twelve,
that's when Oreo cookies debuted. So you could have eaten
Oreo cookies on the Titanic. That's fun. The Brooklyn Bridge
and the Battle of a Little Bighorn with George on
(18:35):
Armstrong Custer, Japan's last Samurai, the true Samurai. Now we're
talking about samurai warriors that go back again thousands of
years Samurai.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Why are you making Why are you making them Jewish
Samurai samuri?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Because it is they are Jewish. It's the Samurroi Samurai.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Anyway, the last I'm roy Sayugo Tom Tacama Roastin was
alive when Alexander Graham Bell made the words made the.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
World's first phone call.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And if you remember, it was Alexander Graham Bell saying
mister Watsonburg, come here, I need you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Okay o fay. That was fun, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
As we finished Friday, August fourteenth, And on Friday the
last segment, we the last two segments, we always have
a great time and doing something a little bit different.
This segment we didn't do ask Candle anything, just because
I wanted to do something else. So this morning during
(19:52):
Foody Friday, Neil and I was talking. We're talking as
we always do, and Neil talked about a I and
how AI created the perfect burger recipe and it was
they put together or AI put together what one hundred
and one recipes. Of course I wanted to immediately go
into one hundred and one Dalmatians and this recipes that
(20:15):
you can buy in South Korea, and so this I
immediately said to Neil, what if I was giving a sermon.
Let's say I'm a religious leader and I'm doing a
sermon on Sunday, and see how AI, in fact would
create the sermon. Surprisingly enough, it is a lot more
(20:41):
generous and certainly a lot more gracious than I would
normally do.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Let me just start it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Today's sermon is about some something most of us desperately
need and absolutely do not want being told we're wrong,
because apparently that has become a human rights violation.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
We love being told to write.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
We'll sit through three hours of somebody agreeing with us,
we'll subscribe to the podcast, we'll buy the coffee mug.
But the second someone says you might, you know, you
might actually be the problem here, and all of a
sudden we're victims of oppression. And that's where religion gets interesting,
because if you strip away the stained glass, the robes,
the organ music, the little basket coming down the aisle
(21:26):
looking for money, there is an uncomfortable idea that sitting
underneath there's a huge amount of religious teaching.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
You're not the center of the universe. That's it.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's the sermon. Unfortunately, I have time left, so we continue.
We spend enormous amounts of energy convincing ourselves that our
behavior is justified. I yelled at him because he started it.
I cheated because my marriage was already bad. I lie
because the truth would have hurt her. I kept the
(21:58):
money because the company screws everybody anyway. Fantastic, You've just
invented the spiritual equivalent of a plea bargain. Now that
is not something that I would particularly say. And then
the sermon goes on for three more pages. And that's
basically it. It is effectively an understanding, or my understanding,
(22:21):
through AI of human nature, and it's a lot more
gracious than anything I would ever say. Man Neil, and
I told you about this, Why would AI make me
look like basically a good guy explaining my religion, which
I'm not a big fan of.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
As you know, it's interesting the way it broke it down.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
So what it did is it took elements of you
and your brashness, and it is pepper throughout there.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
However, it assumed maybe you would be kinder less. I
don't know of an a hole if you're standing behind
a pulpit ah because the attitude and the energy of
what you're saying is true because you believe people are
wrong when they make everything about them, because in truth
(23:15):
everything should be about you.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
That actually makes sense when you think about this, because
I do think it's all about me.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I do think more Trump than Trump is Trump.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
In many ways, I am and I find this fascinating
that that is where AI took it. But you said
something very interesting, putting it in within the terms and
the parameters of giving a sermon on Sunday if I
were a clergyman.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Well, because you're giving it input. This is what people
don't understand about AI. The fact is you have two
points of interest. Make it sound like you, but it
has to be a sermon.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, and instantly. I do think many time you are
the center of the universe. When you kill yourself, then
everybody looks at you, and legitimately you are the center
the rest of the time.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Not a chance.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
It just doesn't work. I think we're done very interesting
what AI did. And I wasn't expecting that we're going
to be talking about AI a whole bunch in the
future and the different spins because it is unlimited, the
questions we have, the values, We're going to take and
just the understanding of what AI does and it's just
(24:32):
absolutely fascinating. So I'm going to end with the end
of the sermon as I would do it, and this
is something that maybe you would expect.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
This is the end of our show.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You are a moron, You are worthless, You have no
business being listened to.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Congratulations, that's it. We're done.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Monday morning, we start all over again with the same
group Tomorrow. It's a Handle on the Law from eight
