How do you differentiate the Barbie who, for example, has
a syringe for insulin versus the Barbie who's a heroin addict.

get these things like double amputee Barbie. I talked about

You know, you know what I was going through this out? Yeah,
I am zoned out. That's a giving. I'm going through
all the topics we're doing today and I'm just thinking
processing what I was about to say, and the fact
that I'm on the air now live sort of got
in the way of it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Or I should study a different show if we wanted
to learn how to do it right.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
This is live radio in action.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
This is so true. This is so true. Next Wednesday,
by the way, is going to be a lot of
fun because I'm in the studio next Wednesday and we
are going to and for the first time, I think
I'm celebrating because I normally don't do this, but this
is all about free food from Brent's Delhi by the way, Nikki,
the best Jewish deli in the city of Los Angeles
(04:53):
and probably in the country. Just wanted to share that
with you, and if you're around, you get to taste
Brind's food in the morning, and we are all celebrating
this morning show. Well me being here hosting for thirty
two years. Next Wednesday is thirty two years on this show.
And we've gone through a lot of people on this show.
(05:16):
You know, Will is our newest one, probably our weakest
weather person than we've had.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He doesn't do weather, he does traffic.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh that's how much I know. See there you go.
Do I pay attention to anything that's going on.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And you made it thirty two years?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Wow? I know. Isn't that astounding? I mean it is
so scary.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You know, I walked by that the other day.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
What at my star? Did you notice anybody peeing on it?
Because that's what the homeless people normally do.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
There were some stains.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh yeah, lots of them. Yes, that's where they put me.
You know. The tens are over it, where the homeless
people live. Yeah, thirty two years.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's really impressive. I will not be here to celebrate
your party. But congratulations, No, no, no for that, man,
I'm not doing this.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Suck up. Congratulations. This is about the food in the morning. Uh,
this is about real jew bagels, live mirror and locks
and what.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Why don't you just have him bring it in today
and not be about your.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We have to have an excuse to have him bring
it in because it's free, because we don't pay for it.
This is radio, you know, How can you pay for
anything in radio? That's a shanda. You can't pay for
anything if you can't get it free your wholesale. You
just don't need it. That's my mantra in life.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
There's my diet coke.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All right, guy, it all right.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Pardon that mantra.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It is a good mantra. And the other thing is
now Nikki will appreciate this. Nikki, are you there?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yes, I'm here, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
My other mantra and this one I follow religiously. Never
eat calamari at a.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Brisk Oh why no, no, no, please explain.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, no, explain it to her, would you? No headlines?
I love it. We're all like no, no, all.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Right, let's do it. Guys's time for Handle on the
News with Heather and Neil and me lead story. Hey,
we're getting more information about what happened as in terms
of the warning during the Texas floods, the alerts, and
(07:33):
it turns out that they do have an alert system
called code red and it's a web based system. It
sends out recorded messages and text alerts via phones and
it sort of kicked in. Uh there was a dispatcher
who was asked about it by a fire person, fireman
who saw the waters. But the problem is we're going
(07:56):
to see more and more of that because the blame game.
Yesterday I was talking about the blame game, blame game
going around and that is the problem. The problem was
that middle of the night, the kids don't have cell
phones because it's a camp, summer camp. And then the
issue of sirens because there is a town about fifteen
miles away that has a siren system and every noon
(08:21):
they run the siren as a test. And it wouldn't
have been a lot of money. So we're here and
this is I told you yesterday as I explained, this
is flood alley, this part of Texas. I mean, flash
floods are a regular thing here. So there'll be a
lot of controversy. We'll be talking about that. Oh also
head there, what's the death told now? And the missing right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
One twenty and then there was last I saw one
hundred and fifty, so missing but let me double check
on that.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, that's not going to be good news. Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh local story, all right, really sad incident yesterday at
a summer camp here. A child was killed and several
other people were hurt when a tree branch fell on
them at a summer camp in Calabasas. It happened at
King Gillette Ranch. I looked it up, and this is
a really nice area of Calabasas on Mulholland Drive and
(09:17):
the beautiful ranch, beautiful ranch. Yeah, they don't know what
happened or how this happened, but apparently a large tree
branch fell and a young child was killed. We don't
know the age of the child, but there is an
investigation ongoing.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah. The King Jewette, of course created patented the first
double edge razor for safety or you were going to
say say that. And his name King Gillette, that was
his name. Yeah, his first name was King.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Go figure. All right. We had some issues in Wilmington yesterday.
Los Angeles firefighters went to help and rescue at least
thirty one workers trapped after a tunnel collapse there. And
this happened last night. You had more than one hundred
LAFD personnel, including urban search and rescue. Even Mayor Karen
(10:14):
Bass responded to the scene, huge LAFD response. You know,
they were looking at the potential of it being a
major multi day tunnel rescue incident. But thankfully it seemed
like things went smoothly.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Okay, that's good news. So we finally have some good
news out of a natural disaster. All right.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay, So ex FBI director and XCIA director are under investigation.
The FBI is investigating CIA director, former CIA director John Brennan,
and former FBI director James Comey for possible false statements
to Congress after a referral from the current CIA director,
(11:01):
John Ratcliffe. So apparently what they're doing is they well,
they're saying that they criticized President Trump and his allies.
This is so complicated and confusing and it feels unnecessary
to me, Like, I just don't understand why they're doing this.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, real easy, because the Trump administration, particularly President Trump,
is going after anybody who said anything against him and
its retribution, straight out retribution. Wh's interesting though, when it
comes to James Comey when he was head of the FBI,
he is more responsible for the win over Hillary Clinton
(11:39):
than I think anybody else. When he was director of
the FBI, because eleven days before the election, he then
releases that comment that they found her name on I
think it was Hunter Biden's laptop top. Yeah, and they
had to investigate it and there was some maybe some
(12:01):
criminal aspect to it and direct violation of an FBI
announcement this close to an election. And that turned it
around right there. And that's when Trump realized whoa And
he put thirty million dollars into his campaign I think
was Minnesota specifically of his own money, and he won
the election because of that. Yes, and he's going after
(12:24):
James Comy now, I guess because James Comy is he
says something negative about the president.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yep, it's fairweather friend. Indeed, so FEMA's response to the
floods had a hiccup in it, some bureaucracy, Some say
to the tune of one hundred thousand dollars. I know
that sounds like a lot of money, but for FEMA
dropping the bucket right. So apparently the new rules with
the Trump administration says that if you have a need,
(12:53):
if FEMA has a need for one hundred thousand dollars
or more, it requires a person signature of Gnoam. So, yeah,
Seary and signed off on it took her seventy two hours,
so says CNN. And Homeland Security said they defended this
whole thing, and they said, this is part of the
(13:15):
plan dysmantle FEMA and shift more responsibility for.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
DESIS because of the waste and the abuse in FEMA.
FEMA one of the most well regarded agencies that the
government has, and they usually when there's a natural disaster
and FEMA jumps in, they do it instantly, and they
spend millions and millions, if not tens or hundreds of
(13:41):
millions of dollars to deal with it. Now it all
comes to a screeching halt. Anything over one hundred thousand dollars,
and as you said, it is a drop in the bucket.
One hundred grand means you have to.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Have nothing disaster response bites, varying bites, very nature has
to be instantaneous.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Right and thisty able to jump. Yeah, look at change here.
You have to have her sign off on anything over
one hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, over one hundred thousand dollars.
As you said, seventy two hours is when she signed off.
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It seems like it is very much politicizing natural disasters
a little bit, because what happens if it's a natural
disaster in a state that they don't want to support
or in an area that they don't want to get to,
they can use that as leverage.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh, worth point, here's hope.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, we want interesting. And it seems like it's politicizing.
Let's go through the list where it is not being
politicized anything. Yeah, waking up in the morning and have
having strawberries instead of blueberries. How's that one. Oh yeah,
we've politicized that. I mean, it's gotten crazy. Okay, let's
do one more before we take a break.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Okay. So X CEO Linda Yakarino. On Wednesday, she announced
she's stepping down from X from her role at X
after working there for a couple of years. This comes
after Grock's Grock is the AI tool on X after
Grok went haywire supposedly and started posting anti Semitic and
(15:09):
pro Hitler responses. So she stepped down after that happened.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, and this is one of the problems that AI
does or any of these platforms. Musk believes in first
Amendment across the board. You can say whatever the hell
you want to say, and if it is pro Hitler,
if it is totally anti Semitic, so be it. So
Hitler being misunderstood, Hitler being a good guy. Well, Mussolini
(15:36):
making the trains run on time in Italy prior to
the World War Two, that's true, and you can say
great things about Mussolini. Hey, at least he made the
trains run on time, which is a phrase that is
used constantly in defending Mussolini.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
All right, all right. San Bernardino Bishop Alberto Rojas leads
more than one point five million Catholics in southern California.
He has formally excused parishioners from their weekly obligation to
attend Mass. This all has to do with the immigration
detentions that went down on two parish properties in the diocese.
(16:13):
So he's basically saying, if you do not have your papers,
I suppose then you don't need to show up.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, it's more than you can watch who carries who
carries their papers with them.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I think it's more like, Hey, how about the obligation
you have to come to Mass? You can watch on telegion.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh I understand. I understand, but it's basically what he
is saying. If you are Hispanic and you are speaking
in Spanish or with a Spanish accent, and you are
part of this sweep, and the sweeps happen obviously in
the Sambordino or most of the parishes, particularly the Hispanic
(16:58):
population parishes. You know, immigration comes in, Ice comes in
and picks you up, and you get swept up. Now,
are a lot illegalant migrants, of course there are, but
there are plenty of folks that are being swept up.
And I think the bottom line here, and I think
what he should have said is if you are here legally,
(17:19):
bring your paperwork with you and show the authorities as
they're picking people up. And by the way, I don't
even know are there any stories heather of people who
have been picked up because we know there are citizens,
we know there are immigrants who have green cars being
picked up. Have any shown their documentation? Because I know
(17:43):
people that are saying bring your paperwork with.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You, I have not seen any stories coming out where
people who are being taken by ICE are showing their documentation.
There are people who are saying I'm a citizen. There's
lots of reports of that, people saying I'm a citizen, citizen,
I have amnesty, I'm a silent seeker. But I have
not seen anything specifically of people showing their papers who
(18:07):
are also then being taken.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah. I think it's a good piece of advice because
no one's giving you that kind of advice. You know,
bring your passport, bring your immigration status, bring your green card, bring.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Some places that are There was even things that went
out during the school year to my son's school, which
is a dual language, and they sent, you know, here's
attorneys you can talk to, Here's what you should have
on you if you are a citizen, all these things.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Do you think ICE has set up a center MacArthur
Park where you can buy your documentation and your green
cards and your passports.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That'd be awfully kind of them, wouldn't they wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, all right, moving on.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
All right. So President Trump is threatening Brazil with fifty
percent tariff starting on August first, in the letter that
he posted on truth So he alleges that to the
country's president Lula de da Silva Lula Lula da Silva. Yes,
he's saying that he's doing a witch hunt. He's undertaking
(19:12):
a witch hunt that should end immediately overcharges against its
right wing former president higher bull Sonaro Bonscenaro.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And this is fascinating because this this tariff has nothing
to do with economics, where their to other tariffs too.
What Bolsonnaro was and is a super right wing UH
politician who came into power, a Trump supporter, called himself
the South American Donald Trump and uh he was and
(19:43):
is looking at corruption charges. Lula, on the other hand,
who's a very left wing, was elected. He did go
to prison for corruption. Welcome to Brazil. So what Trump
is doing is I don't like what you are doing
internally to Brazil because you're going after a Trump supporter,
a Trumpist, and so therefore I'm knocking. I'm putting fifty
(20:06):
percent tariff on your goods directly for political.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
So it's strictly political. He's getting involved in their country,
that is correct and everything.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
This is the guy who says we cannot get involved
in other people's countries politics unless it's a Trump supporter
who is being nailed with a quote which hunt is
really a word that is very very popular in this administration.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
If we get from Brazil. Besides the blowouts and all
the waxing.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, no, actually, soy We get a lot of soybeans,
that's principle. A lot of agricultural products. And what's really
interesting is the US has a trade surplus with Brazil.
They buy more than we buy from them. So great
story is about going to Brazil. And I could go
for ever on that of what they have in Brazil,
(21:02):
but I think a lot. I think there may be
some beef. Certainly the world's largest.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
US so they gave us you.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, they're the best export.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, a lot of agriculture.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
The brazil nut is my favorite nut. By the way,
no one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Asks what else did they do.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's a hardy nut.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It is a hard and it's big.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Please don't use that as a promo. Promo people, all right, Brazil.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, I could argue brazil nuts. I'm very proud of mine, and.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I set you up for that. I'm sorry I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
You actually did.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well, that's going to be fun to edit together.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Coffee. Coffee is a big, big export product of Brazil.
Brazilian coffee is really neat stuff, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
During the height of the COVID nineteen pandemic, the virus
caused life expend expectance see in California to drop significantly
by almost a year, and we haven't gained it back.
We're two years out and we haven't gained back that
life expectancy here in California. And maybe we're just lazy.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Neil, is that lazy?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You know what it is? Look in the mirror, what
about it? I see handsome, I see smart, I see funny.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You see a couple of pounds overweight. Don't you me?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No camera causing cardio.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's the clothes, right, Yeah, it's the camera pack.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
They did say that there is cardiovascular disease drug overdose.
I don't take drugs, but I know I understand.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
But let me put it this way. A camera put
you know, when you take a picture, it puts ten
pounds on you. When you're photographed, they use six cameras
from different angles.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Get it out of your system. God, there's nothing worth.
You're like a new Christian because you are a fat
man that had his stomach tied up in knots and
now is thinner and you're like preaching about it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But you're not preaching about it. I'm not preaching about it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You did nothing. You are still.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I'm not preaching, of course I am. I'm not preaching
about I'm anorexic. And the reason I'm overweight is I
eat through my anorexic I used. I use over eating
as a wall to protect you know what, people thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I'm I'm going to have my guts tied up too,
and you know what, and then I'm going to be
thinner than you.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Listen, both of you are beautiful. Stop fighting.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You're both very.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Thin and beautiful. And now let's let's put this.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's very sweet. How's your seeing eye dog doing, by
the way, this morning?

It's a couple. You can do it for a couple
of hundred dollars a month, give me your money. Three.
You can do it. Anybody sells it, you know, they
have it all over the No.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I want to be paid to do it. I want
to be I want to be.
Speaker 1 (24:11):

Speaker 3 (24:16):

So I'm like, I should have the drug sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
You think you're the only fat person.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Spelt big?

Maybe my bones are skinny?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Is there? You go? There? Let's move on, all right,
let's finish it up.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
The Trump administration is suing California over transgender athlete policies.
President Trump is you know, made the move to sue
the uh transgender girls who are competing in girls sports teams,
alleging the policy is violating federal law. This is part
of that ongoing battle between the Republican administration in Washington
(24:57):
and Democratic led Californians here over trans athletes competing in
the sports.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I don't remember stand and what a big deal?
This is how many transgender athletes do you think actually
compete in CIF sports in California? Right? A couple of
hundred maybe, And I don't know of anybody out there
who doesn't believe. Yeah, it's unfair. If someone was born
(25:24):
and was a male person, different bone structure, there is
some muscle mass, I mean, there is a difference. So
you just simply say, okay, transgender people can't compete. Why
has this become such a huge national issue.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, according to the Internet, it is less than ten
less than ten trans athletes in California specific and.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
We're spending all of this time talking about that issue. Oh,
I don't know how many people are starving, how many
people are homeless? You think that's a problem. Ukraine is
blowing up. The United States sends or doesn't send arms.
Just here we go, transgender sports, big big deal.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know what I always thought was weird. So transgender
is covered in the LGBTQ plus community, right, yes, yeah, Well,
if they're exactly the same as a straight woman, once
they get the surgery, don't they go on the straight
side of the category and no longer covered by the
LGBTQ community.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's a very good question. That is deep, That is
very deep. I mean they're not the same.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
If the whole exactly the same, then don't they just
go on to Now aren't they just cisgendered?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You know, I have an lgb I actually know shouldn't
have anything to do with it. I know people who
are transgender and do why Yeah, I love to talk
to them. You are now a woman, Yes I am.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Oh, that's the board. It's pretty close. It's pretty good,
good to pays and bad too pays.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Okay, everyone in their car is like, oh no, we
should have an expert on. We should have an expert
on to answer deep dive that question. That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well, it's politics, has nothing to do with anything. President
Joe Biden's former White House physician refused yesterday to answer
questions as part of the House Republican investigation into Biden's
health and office. Boy, who would have thought that a
doctor with client privilege would say I'm not going to
(27:34):
tell you anything and used his rights under the Fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Rights under the Fifth Amendment. You know what all those
fees and this is comer who is head of the
committee who is releasing all this crap. So that's completely political.
But there, in my mind, there is no issue that
the inner circle of Joe Biden covered up the fact
that he was no longer able to run this country.
I believe, leave that to the depths of my soul.
(28:01):
They covered it up, and I think, uh, they should
go to prison for that. You cannot cover up somebody's
health issue, mental health issue. Who's president of the United States.
That's crazy making And they did.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All right.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
President Trump has named Sean Duffy interim head of NASA
in addition to his Transportation Department duties. He's now going
to be running NASA.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
We've got a lot of double people doing it. National
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, and the head of Scarity
National Security, National Security, Head of National Security.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, last time, because Trump has people that he trusts
and he keeps them close and he doesn't want to
expand his.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Last last time that happened was during Henry Kissinger, when
Henry Kissinger was both head of National Security as well
as Secretary of State. So there's a double hit. And
the previous one who Trump yanked, what is it, Isaacman
happens to be very close to musk Yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah. And you run the risk though, don't you think
you run the risk of when you've got so many
people doubled up over such large agencies of things falling
through the cracks?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, because when you're incompetent, you can be incompetent across
the board. It's like handle on the law, right, handle
on the law is not how many I don't know
how many states that it goes across. And when I
first did handle on the law I got a call
from corporate from Cox that's who owned the company the
station at that time, and corporate said, Bill, you're going
(29:41):
to give legal advice across many states. I said absolutely,
And aren't you just licensed in California? I said absolutely.
Don't you think there's a conflict? I said, nope. How
is that? And I said, because bad legal advice goes
across state lines. There is no on flake when you
give bad legal advice. That's the point I'm making here,
(30:05):
which no one understands because I don't understand it. Okay,
let's we do a couple of more and we finish.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yow. This is horrific to me. The NEA, which is
the largest teachers union in the US, is endorsing a
proposal that would cut ties with the Anti Defamation League.
Do you ever see everything you'd see that bill?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Nope, nope. And this is anti it has to be
anti Israel. There's no other move. And Anti Defamation League
is not particularly political. It's just they go after anti Semitism,
and so I do believe that's what this is about.
And this is the largest teachers union out there, never
thought that would happen. And what the Anti Defamation League
(30:47):
do is put people in educational programs that they talked
to school school rooms all over the country and point
out anti Semitic instances and publish articles and books about
anti Semitism. So, yeah, this is a this is a
(31:08):
tough one, but I'm convinced this is all about Israel.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's still scary. Yep.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
All right, Okay, let's do a last one. Now, this
is all about Neil.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
The American diet is being blamed for rise in colon cancer.
So apparently, wrote rates of colorectal cancer and gastro intestinal
cancers are on the rise for people under the age
of fifty, and experts are saying that is because of obesity.
There's a link to obesity.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Is it picked on? Handsome funny guy d.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Guess so apparently.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, But we're over fifty, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Real does not apply. We're covered.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, so we're fine. Go ahead and eat all the
crap food that you positively go to Costco, spend another
two days a week there and pan out the food.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well, I'm host because I'm only twenty five.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Oh you know, I forget to mention that on the
show that will Cole Streiber also fat. I'm sorry for
leaving you out on the mountain. Will I apologize for that,
for leaving you out of our conversation.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I'm full.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm not fat. You are, wow, fluffy full. I absolutely
love that, absolutely love fat.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:22):

How do you differentiate the Barbie who, for example, has
a syringe for insulin versus the Barbie who's a heroin addict.

segment we did yesterday on insulin diabetic Barbie that Heather
brought up somehow, and I had mentioned where do they
get these things like double amputee Barbie. I talked about
(00:56):
this some kid in a focus group with some serious
albums who was ripping off Barbara's arms, and the guy
who's running it for Mittel said, I think there's something there.
Looks strong to me. Anyway, Good morning, everybody. I just

Speaker 3 (03:24):
You should listen. Tiffany show is great. She does a
really good job.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
I don't listen to this show on air checks, you know,
I've never listened to it. I've never done an air
check in my life on any show I've ever been on. Ever,
won't do it. All right, what else is new going
on in the world? Let me see now, I've got
some Trump News. Of course we've got you know, it's
(03:48):
basically it and Moe Kelly is coming aboard and his
wheelhouse Superman is opening up, and Okay, enough of that,
why don't we go right into it? All right? Handle on,
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I thought we lost you.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
You know, you know what I was going through this out? Yeah,
I am zoned out. That's a giving. I'm going through
all the topics we're doing today and I'm just thinking
processing what I was about to say, and the fact
that I'm on the air now live sort of got
in the way of it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Or I should study a different show if we wanted
to learn how to do it right.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
This is live radio in action.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
This is so true. This is so true. Next Wednesday,
by the way, is going to be a lot of
fun because I'm in the studio next Wednesday and we
are going to and for the first time, I think
I'm celebrating because I normally don't do this, but this
is all about free food from Brent's Delhi by the way, Nikki,
the best Jewish deli in the city of Los Angeles
(04:53):
and probably in the country. Just wanted to share that
with you, and if you're around, you get to taste
Brind's food in the morning, and we are all celebrating
this morning show. Well me being here hosting for thirty
two years. Next Wednesday is thirty two years on this show.
And we've gone through a lot of people on this show.
(05:16):
You know, Will is our newest one, probably our weakest
weather person than we've had.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
He doesn't do weather, he does traffic.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Oh that's how much I know. See there you go.
Do I pay attention to anything that's going on.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And you made it thirty two years?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Wow? I know. Isn't that astounding? I mean it is
so scary.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You know, I walked by that the other day.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
What at my star? Did you notice anybody peeing on it?
Because that's what the homeless people normally do.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
There were some stains.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Oh yeah, lots of them. Yes, that's where they put me.
You know. The tens are over it, where the homeless
people live. Yeah, thirty two years.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
That's really impressive. I will not be here to celebrate
your party. But congratulations, No, no, no for that, man,
I'm not doing this.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Suck up. Congratulations. This is about the food in the morning. Uh,
this is about real jew bagels, live mirror and locks
and what.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Why don't you just have him bring it in today
and not be about your.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We have to have an excuse to have him bring
it in because it's free, because we don't pay for it.
This is radio, you know, How can you pay for
anything in radio? That's a shanda. You can't pay for
anything if you can't get it free your wholesale. You
just don't need it. That's my mantra in life.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
There's my diet coke.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
All right, guy, it all right.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Pardon that mantra.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It is a good mantra. And the other thing is
now Nikki will appreciate this. Nikki, are you there?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yes, I'm here, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
My other mantra and this one I follow religiously. Never
eat calamari at a.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Brisk Oh why no, no, no, please explain.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
No, no, explain it to her, would you? No headlines?
I love it. We're all like no, no, all.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Right, let's do it. Guys's time for Handle on the
News with Heather and Neil and me lead story. Hey,
we're getting more information about what happened as in terms
of the warning during the Texas floods, the alerts, and
(07:33):
it turns out that they do have an alert system
called code red and it's a web based system. It
sends out recorded messages and text alerts via phones and
it sort of kicked in. Uh there was a dispatcher
who was asked about it by a fire person, fireman
who saw the waters. But the problem is we're going
(07:56):
to see more and more of that because the blame game.
Yesterday I was talking about the blame game, blame game
going around and that is the problem. The problem was
that middle of the night, the kids don't have cell
phones because it's a camp, summer camp. And then the
issue of sirens because there is a town about fifteen
miles away that has a siren system and every noon
(08:21):
they run the siren as a test. And it wouldn't
have been a lot of money. So we're here and
this is I told you yesterday as I explained, this
is flood alley, this part of Texas. I mean, flash
floods are a regular thing here. So there'll be a
lot of controversy. We'll be talking about that. Oh also
head there, what's the death told now? And the missing right.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
One twenty and then there was last I saw one
hundred and fifty, so missing but let me double check
on that.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, that's not going to be good news. Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh local story, all right, really sad incident yesterday at
a summer camp here. A child was killed and several
other people were hurt when a tree branch fell on
them at a summer camp in Calabasas. It happened at
King Gillette Ranch. I looked it up, and this is
a really nice area of Calabasas on Mulholland Drive and
(09:17):
the beautiful ranch, beautiful ranch. Yeah, they don't know what
happened or how this happened, but apparently a large tree
branch fell and a young child was killed. We don't
know the age of the child, but there is an
investigation ongoing.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah. The King Jewette, of course created patented the first
double edge razor for safety or you were going to
say say that. And his name King Gillette, that was
his name. Yeah, his first name was King.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Go figure. All right. We had some issues in Wilmington yesterday.
Los Angeles firefighters went to help and rescue at least
thirty one workers trapped after a tunnel collapse there. And
this happened last night. You had more than one hundred
LAFD personnel, including urban search and rescue. Even Mayor Karen
(10:14):
Bass responded to the scene, huge LAFD response. You know,
they were looking at the potential of it being a
major multi day tunnel rescue incident. But thankfully it seemed
like things went smoothly.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Okay, that's good news. So we finally have some good
news out of a natural disaster. All right.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Okay, So ex FBI director and XCIA director are under investigation.
The FBI is investigating CIA director, former CIA director John Brennan,
and former FBI director James Comey for possible false statements
to Congress after a referral from the current CIA director,
(11:01):
John Ratcliffe. So apparently what they're doing is they well,
they're saying that they criticized President Trump and his allies.
This is so complicated and confusing and it feels unnecessary
to me, Like, I just don't understand why they're doing this.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well, real easy, because the Trump administration, particularly President Trump,
is going after anybody who said anything against him and
its retribution, straight out retribution. Wh's interesting though, when it
comes to James Comey when he was head of the FBI,
he is more responsible for the win over Hillary Clinton
(11:39):
than I think anybody else. When he was director of
the FBI, because eleven days before the election, he then
releases that comment that they found her name on I
think it was Hunter Biden's laptop top. Yeah, and they
had to investigate it and there was some maybe some
(12:01):
criminal aspect to it and direct violation of an FBI
announcement this close to an election. And that turned it
around right there. And that's when Trump realized whoa And
he put thirty million dollars into his campaign I think
was Minnesota specifically of his own money, and he won
the election because of that. Yes, and he's going after
(12:24):
James Comy now, I guess because James Comy is he
says something negative about the president.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yep, it's fairweather friend. Indeed, so FEMA's response to the
floods had a hiccup in it, some bureaucracy, Some say
to the tune of one hundred thousand dollars. I know
that sounds like a lot of money, but for FEMA
dropping the bucket right. So apparently the new rules with
the Trump administration says that if you have a need,
(12:53):
if FEMA has a need for one hundred thousand dollars
or more, it requires a person signature of Gnoam. So, yeah,
Seary and signed off on it took her seventy two hours,
so says CNN. And Homeland Security said they defended this
whole thing, and they said, this is part of the
(13:15):
plan dysmantle FEMA and shift more responsibility for.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
DESIS because of the waste and the abuse in FEMA.
FEMA one of the most well regarded agencies that the
government has, and they usually when there's a natural disaster
and FEMA jumps in, they do it instantly, and they
spend millions and millions, if not tens or hundreds of
(13:41):
millions of dollars to deal with it. Now it all
comes to a screeching halt. Anything over one hundred thousand dollars,
and as you said, it is a drop in the bucket.
One hundred grand means you have to.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Have nothing disaster response bites, varying bites, very nature has
to be instantaneous.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Right and thisty able to jump. Yeah, look at change here.
You have to have her sign off on anything over
one hundred thousand dollars. Yeah, over one hundred thousand dollars.
As you said, seventy two hours is when she signed off.
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It seems like it is very much politicizing natural disasters
a little bit, because what happens if it's a natural
disaster in a state that they don't want to support
or in an area that they don't want to get to,
they can use that as leverage.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh, worth point, here's hope.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, we want interesting. And it seems like it's politicizing.
Let's go through the list where it is not being
politicized anything. Yeah, waking up in the morning and have
having strawberries instead of blueberries. How's that one. Oh yeah,
we've politicized that. I mean, it's gotten crazy. Okay, let's
do one more before we take a break.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Okay. So X CEO Linda Yakarino. On Wednesday, she announced
she's stepping down from X from her role at X
after working there for a couple of years. This comes
after Grock's Grock is the AI tool on X after
Grok went haywire supposedly and started posting anti Semitic and
(15:09):
pro Hitler responses. So she stepped down after that happened.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, and this is one of the problems that AI
does or any of these platforms. Musk believes in first
Amendment across the board. You can say whatever the hell
you want to say, and if it is pro Hitler,
if it is totally anti Semitic, so be it. So
Hitler being misunderstood, Hitler being a good guy. Well, Mussolini
(15:36):
making the trains run on time in Italy prior to
the World War Two, that's true, and you can say
great things about Mussolini. Hey, at least he made the
trains run on time, which is a phrase that is
used constantly in defending Mussolini.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
All right, all right. San Bernardino Bishop Alberto Rojas leads
more than one point five million Catholics in southern California.
He has formally excused parishioners from their weekly obligation to
attend Mass. This all has to do with the immigration
detentions that went down on two parish properties in the diocese.
(16:13):
So he's basically saying, if you do not have your papers,
I suppose then you don't need to show up.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Well, it's more than you can watch who carries who
carries their papers with them.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
I think it's more like, Hey, how about the obligation
you have to come to Mass? You can watch on telegion.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh I understand. I understand, but it's basically what he
is saying. If you are Hispanic and you are speaking
in Spanish or with a Spanish accent, and you are
part of this sweep, and the sweeps happen obviously in
the Sambordino or most of the parishes, particularly the Hispanic
(16:58):
population parishes. You know, immigration comes in, Ice comes in
and picks you up, and you get swept up. Now,
are a lot illegalant migrants, of course there are, but
there are plenty of folks that are being swept up.
And I think the bottom line here, and I think
what he should have said is if you are here legally,
(17:19):
bring your paperwork with you and show the authorities as
they're picking people up. And by the way, I don't
even know are there any stories heather of people who
have been picked up because we know there are citizens,
we know there are immigrants who have green cars being
picked up. Have any shown their documentation? Because I know
(17:43):
people that are saying bring your paperwork with.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
You, I have not seen any stories coming out where
people who are being taken by ICE are showing their documentation.
There are people who are saying I'm a citizen. There's
lots of reports of that, people saying I'm a citizen, citizen,
I have amnesty, I'm a silent seeker. But I have
not seen anything specifically of people showing their papers who
(18:07):
are also then being taken.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah. I think it's a good piece of advice because
no one's giving you that kind of advice. You know,
bring your passport, bring your immigration status, bring your green card, bring.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Some places that are There was even things that went
out during the school year to my son's school, which
is a dual language, and they sent, you know, here's
attorneys you can talk to, Here's what you should have
on you if you are a citizen, all these things.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Do you think ICE has set up a center MacArthur
Park where you can buy your documentation and your green
cards and your passports.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
That'd be awfully kind of them, wouldn't they wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, all right, moving on.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
All right. So President Trump is threatening Brazil with fifty
percent tariff starting on August first, in the letter that
he posted on truth So he alleges that to the
country's president Lula de da Silva Lula Lula da Silva. Yes,
he's saying that he's doing a witch hunt. He's undertaking
(19:12):
a witch hunt that should end immediately overcharges against its
right wing former president higher bull Sonaro Bonscenaro.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And this is fascinating because this this tariff has nothing
to do with economics, where their to other tariffs too.
What Bolsonnaro was and is a super right wing UH
politician who came into power, a Trump supporter, called himself
the South American Donald Trump and uh he was and
(19:43):
is looking at corruption charges. Lula, on the other hand,
who's a very left wing, was elected. He did go
to prison for corruption. Welcome to Brazil. So what Trump
is doing is I don't like what you are doing
internally to Brazil because you're going after a Trump supporter,
a Trumpist, and so therefore I'm knocking. I'm putting fifty
(20:06):
percent tariff on your goods directly for political.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
So it's strictly political. He's getting involved in their country,
that is correct and everything.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
This is the guy who says we cannot get involved
in other people's countries politics unless it's a Trump supporter
who is being nailed with a quote which hunt is
really a word that is very very popular in this administration.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
If we get from Brazil. Besides the blowouts and all
the waxing.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, no, actually, soy We get a lot of soybeans,
that's principle. A lot of agricultural products. And what's really
interesting is the US has a trade surplus with Brazil.
They buy more than we buy from them. So great
story is about going to Brazil. And I could go
for ever on that of what they have in Brazil,
(21:02):
but I think a lot. I think there may be
some beef. Certainly the world's largest.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
US so they gave us you.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, they're the best export.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah, a lot of agriculture.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
The brazil nut is my favorite nut. By the way,
no one.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Asks what else did they do.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's a hardy nut.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It is a hard and it's big.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Please don't use that as a promo. Promo people, all right, Brazil.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, I could argue brazil nuts. I'm very proud of mine, and.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I set you up for that. I'm sorry I shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
You actually did.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Well, that's going to be fun to edit together.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Coffee. Coffee is a big, big export product of Brazil.
Brazilian coffee is really neat stuff, all right.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
During the height of the COVID nineteen pandemic, the virus
caused life expend expectance see in California to drop significantly
by almost a year, and we haven't gained it back.
We're two years out and we haven't gained back that
life expectancy here in California. And maybe we're just lazy.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Neil, is that lazy?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
You know what it is? Look in the mirror, what
about it? I see handsome, I see smart, I see funny.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You see a couple of pounds overweight. Don't you me?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
No camera causing cardio.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's the clothes, right, Yeah, it's the camera pack.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
They did say that there is cardiovascular disease drug overdose.
I don't take drugs, but I know I understand.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
But let me put it this way. A camera put
you know, when you take a picture, it puts ten
pounds on you. When you're photographed, they use six cameras
from different angles.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Get it out of your system. God, there's nothing worth.
You're like a new Christian because you are a fat
man that had his stomach tied up in knots and
now is thinner and you're like preaching about it.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But you're not preaching about it. I'm not preaching about it.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You did nothing. You are still.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I'm not preaching, of course I am. I'm not preaching
about I'm anorexic. And the reason I'm overweight is I
eat through my anorexic I used. I use over eating
as a wall to protect you know what, people thinking.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
I'm I'm going to have my guts tied up too,
and you know what, and then I'm going to be
thinner than you.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Listen, both of you are beautiful. Stop fighting.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
You're both very.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Thin and beautiful. And now let's let's put this.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That's very sweet. How's your seeing eye dog doing, by
the way, this morning?
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Mine? Yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I want to be on the ozimbic. How do I
get the drugs to make me skinny?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
I need?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I need a sponsorship. Insurance doesn't cover it. My insurance,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
It's a couple. You can do it for a couple
of hundred dollars a month, give me your money. Three.
You can do it. Anybody sells it, you know, they
have it all over the No.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
I want to be paid to do it. I want
to be I want to be.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Sponsored by Okay, you just get diabetes.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I'm the only fat person.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I'm the only fat person that works here on the air.
So I'm like, I should have the drug sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
You think you're the only fat person.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Spelt big?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Maybe my bones are skinny?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Is there? You go? There? Let's move on, all right,
let's finish it up.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
The Trump administration is suing California over transgender athlete policies.
President Trump is you know, made the move to sue
the uh transgender girls who are competing in girls sports teams,
alleging the policy is violating federal law. This is part
of that ongoing battle between the Republican administration in Washington
(24:57):
and Democratic led Californians here over trans athletes competing in
the sports.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Yeah, I don't remember stand and what a big deal?
This is how many transgender athletes do you think actually
compete in CIF sports in California? Right? A couple of
hundred maybe, And I don't know of anybody out there
who doesn't believe. Yeah, it's unfair. If someone was born
(25:24):
and was a male person, different bone structure, there is
some muscle mass, I mean, there is a difference. So
you just simply say, okay, transgender people can't compete. Why
has this become such a huge national issue.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, according to the Internet, it is less than ten
less than ten trans athletes in California specific and.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
We're spending all of this time talking about that issue. Oh,
I don't know how many people are starving, how many
people are homeless? You think that's a problem. Ukraine is
blowing up. The United States sends or doesn't send arms.
Just here we go, transgender sports, big big deal.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
You know what I always thought was weird. So transgender
is covered in the LGBTQ plus community, right, yes, yeah, Well,
if they're exactly the same as a straight woman, once
they get the surgery, don't they go on the straight
side of the category and no longer covered by the
LGBTQ community.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That's a very good question. That is deep, That is
very deep. I mean they're not the same.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
If the whole exactly the same, then don't they just
go on to Now aren't they just cisgendered?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You know, I have an lgb I actually know shouldn't
have anything to do with it. I know people who
are transgender and do why Yeah, I love to talk
to them. You are now a woman, Yes I am.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Oh, that's the board. It's pretty close. It's pretty good,
good to pays and bad too pays.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Okay, everyone in their car is like, oh no, we
should have an expert on. We should have an expert
on to answer deep dive that question. That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Well, it's politics, has nothing to do with anything. President
Joe Biden's former White House physician refused yesterday to answer
questions as part of the House Republican investigation into Biden's
health and office. Boy, who would have thought that a
doctor with client privilege would say I'm not going to
(27:34):
tell you anything and used his rights under the Fifth Amendment.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Rights under the Fifth Amendment. You know what all those
fees and this is comer who is head of the
committee who is releasing all this crap. So that's completely political.
But there, in my mind, there is no issue that
the inner circle of Joe Biden covered up the fact
that he was no longer able to run this country.
I believe, leave that to the depths of my soul.
(28:01):
They covered it up, and I think, uh, they should
go to prison for that. You cannot cover up somebody's
health issue, mental health issue. Who's president of the United States.
That's crazy making And they did.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All right.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
President Trump has named Sean Duffy interim head of NASA
in addition to his Transportation Department duties. He's now going
to be running NASA.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
We've got a lot of double people doing it. National
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, and the head of Scarity
National Security, National Security, Head of National Security.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, last time, because Trump has people that he trusts
and he keeps them close and he doesn't want to
expand his.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Last last time that happened was during Henry Kissinger, when
Henry Kissinger was both head of National Security as well
as Secretary of State. So there's a double hit. And
the previous one who Trump yanked, what is it, Isaacman
happens to be very close to musk Yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah. And you run the risk though, don't you think
you run the risk of when you've got so many
people doubled up over such large agencies of things falling
through the cracks?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, because when you're incompetent, you can be incompetent across
the board. It's like handle on the law, right, handle
on the law is not how many I don't know
how many states that it goes across. And when I
first did handle on the law I got a call
from corporate from Cox that's who owned the company the
station at that time, and corporate said, Bill, you're going
(29:41):
to give legal advice across many states. I said absolutely,
And aren't you just licensed in California? I said absolutely.
Don't you think there's a conflict? I said, nope. How
is that? And I said, because bad legal advice goes
across state lines. There is no on flake when you
give bad legal advice. That's the point I'm making here,
(30:05):
which no one understands because I don't understand it. Okay,
let's we do a couple of more and we finish.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yow. This is horrific to me. The NEA, which is
the largest teachers union in the US, is endorsing a
proposal that would cut ties with the Anti Defamation League.
Do you ever see everything you'd see that bill?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Nope, nope. And this is anti it has to be
anti Israel. There's no other move. And Anti Defamation League
is not particularly political. It's just they go after anti Semitism,
and so I do believe that's what this is about.
And this is the largest teachers union out there, never
thought that would happen. And what the Anti Defamation League
(30:47):
do is put people in educational programs that they talked
to school school rooms all over the country and point
out anti Semitic instances and publish articles and books about
anti Semitism. So, yeah, this is a this is a
(31:08):
tough one, but I'm convinced this is all about Israel.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
It's still scary. Yep.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
All right, Okay, let's do a last one. Now, this
is all about Neil.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
The American diet is being blamed for rise in colon cancer.
So apparently, wrote rates of colorectal cancer and gastro intestinal
cancers are on the rise for people under the age
of fifty, and experts are saying that is because of obesity.
There's a link to obesity.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Is it picked on? Handsome funny guy d.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Guess so apparently.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, But we're over fifty, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Real does not apply. We're covered.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Yeah, so we're fine. Go ahead and eat all the
crap food that you positively go to Costco, spend another
two days a week there and pan out the food.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Well, I'm host because I'm only twenty five.
Speaker 2 (31:59):

show that will Cole Streiber also fat. I'm sorry for
leaving you out on the mountain. Will I apologize for that,
for leaving you out of our conversation.
Speaker 1 (32:12):

I'm not fat. You are, wow, fluffy full. I absolutely
love that, absolutely love fat.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I don't.
