Let's start with the ever not so lovely we'll CROs
Cole Schreiber. Well, good more, Bill Handle. Yeah, you got
a weird name to pronounce. You're having a difficult name
to pronounce.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
WILLI? Were you a Willie? I was a WILLI? Everyone
else was a bill I was a Willie? Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, yeah, I remember mine was a light switch, but
that had more to do with my anatomical issues and
anything else.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, I'm sorry, Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Six a little time check.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, well, hey, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Right, Good morning, Anne, Good morning, there you are, and cono,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Good morning. And did you go by little Billy from Brazil?
Isn't that?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I went?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I went by well. Growing up, my middle name, my
real name was Wolf handle, Wolf being a name in
Europe with which is like John or George. It's a
very normal name, and I was made so much fun
of as a kid that people would go, oh Wolf,
and I wish I had kept it. So when I
(02:12):
became naturalized as an American citizen, it I changed it
where I was able to. Actually, my parents said what
name do you want, and I said William, and so
I became William Wolf.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I wish I had kept it, like Wolf Blitzer. That
is a neat name to be wolf.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But I only reeled that realized that as an adult,
I was never I was never a Willie.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I was never a billy. I was never a billy Bob.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Now I am called Willie Wolf by two people, one Savile,
my best friend, one of my best friends, and the
other one who usurped that name, and that is Neil.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yes, but I do get it from Saville. I give
him full credit.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Will I call you a handle Willie Wolf, and that
that was the only two people anyway, Cono, good morning.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Good morning, and think it is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, yeah, I was horrible. Still you know what here
I am, here, I am. I'm still in therapy over that.
You know, we're talking sixty years now.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I find it hard to believe that's the only thing
they could make fun of you about.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's true, and well we can there's a topic for us.
And then the lady in pink, uh, the one and
only Amy, Good morning morning Bill. Yeah, so you have
this thing about Barbie this morning because that's Barbie pink.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It is Barbie pink. It matches my shorts.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh you know what you're wearing shorts.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
See, that's why we're above the waist of what we
see each other. So, as I said many times, below
the waist when it's really hot, guess what, I don't wear.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Anything.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I just don't even want to know that.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I'm having I had a chair custom made. No.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
No, it's like, you know, go to a massage table
where you have that with that hole that you put
your face through. Well, this is not my face. Okay,
you're right. It's now six oh seven in the morning. Uh,
all right, really quickly before we get to the news, Neil.
(04:22):
Let's talk about what's going on coming up Saturday.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Not well, is it this Saturday? Yes, it is this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I was hoping to be excused for the day. But yeah,
this Saturday, we will be out and I mean we,
as in Bill and me will be out for the
Fork Report broadcasting life from Wild Fork Foods in Long Beach.
It's on second and pH will be there again from
two to five, celebrating their one year anniversary in that location.
(04:49):
And it will be fun to be out in Long Beach.
We're giving a bunch of stuff away. They'll be doing
samples of their food. Their food's fantastic. It'll be a
good time, be a lot of fun. They'll be grilling outside.
The smells will be wonderful. Yeah, it's gonna be a
lot of share.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Come down and come on down, and uh, how do
you get in? How do you win a spot to
get in?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You show up? Yeah, you know, you just show up.
Actually you win when you do show up, But just
show up.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And Zelman's is going to be there and some great samples,
and we're talking about Wildfork Foods, which is on a
whole new level.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The proteins they do if you've never.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Been to a location. They're spectacular.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, you call meat proteins. Why don't you call it?
What don't you call it meat?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I do sometimes, No, you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You always call it proteins flesh?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I call it carne.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, so I don't ever hear that. All right, guys,
let's call it. We've got a lot to do. Let's
start a time for handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Honesty. Well, some of.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
The Epstein files have been released by a House committee,
thirty three thousand pages worth, most of them already in
the public domain, not really diving into it. And so
while the House, the Speaker and the Justice Department says, oh, no,
(06:17):
we want to release everything, they're not.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're not releasing everything.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And they talk about redacting names that the victims, So
just redact the victim names.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Okay, now what why don't you release everything else?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And as Johnson, Mike Johnson is saying that there's complete
transparency and we want to release it, and the Justice
Department wants to release it, he will not let on
the floor a motion or a vote to release it,
to force the Justice Department to release why because the
(06:51):
President says, I don't want the release, and Johnson says,
whatever you want, mister president.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
That to be true. You're assuming this, I'm assuming what
that Trump doesn't want them released.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh, he says he doesn't want them released.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But he hasn't come out and said that.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Has he No, But it's just but his Justice Department
has So what does that mean? All right, moving on,
we'll see if they're released or not. By the way,
I think that you're going to find when they're fully released.
And I don't think Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
By the way, was involved in any of the criminal
activity at all. I think what we're going to see
is the relationship between Epstein and Trump far closer than
it was being portrayed.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's it, I think.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And and but the political optics of that are going
to be horrible. And again I want to reiterate, if
anybody says, oh, no, it's going to prove that Trump
did something wrong, I don't believe that for a second
when it comes to having sex with underage girls, not
for a moment.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right, let's move on.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Showing off their stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Xijingping has presided over one of China's biggest military parades
and was flanked by Vladimir Putin Russia and North Korea's
Kim Jong Un. It was a procession of China's newest tanks, drones,
and those hypersonic missiles. It was held around Tiannaman Square,
(08:27):
marking the eightieth anniversary of the Second World War victory
World War two victory over Japan. First time the Chinese, Russian,
and North Korean leaders have all gathered together in the
same place.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, there's a lot of moving pieces here.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm going to be talking about that at eight o'clock
because I think as fair to say there really is
a new world order going on right now, and that's
coming up at eight As I dive into it a
lot deeper.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
As we're distracted by the Epstein files, they're making a
new axis of evil. We all right, Trump moving the
US Space Command headquarters, and it's been going back and forth,
a lot of people around him saying, you know, put
it here, put it there. Colorado was an option, and
(09:16):
that's where it was going to go. But now he's
moving the headquarters from Colorado to Alabama in Huntsville. He
says that's the beautiful locale that he is going to
be moving it to. And but people have been going
back and forth in his ear, and it sounds like
he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. He said,
you're not going to call me anymore and talk about
(09:38):
this subject, right, you promise, because they've been lobbying both sides.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You know, are you Are you aware of the history
of Huntsville.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That's where the Nazi rocket rocket experts were set up
after World War Two to help the US develop its
rocket tree program.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And they brought.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Von Braun and his team over and they went to Huntsville.
If you ever see the video, he had had a
broken arm or something at that time because he was
brought over. But there was some legal issue as to
what was going to happen, So they threw them on
a bus, drove into Mexico, gave them their green card,
and drove them.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Right back to Huntsville.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, so Huntsville has a Huntsville has a huge history
of rocketry.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And for those that aren't sure what that is, space
Command goes back to the eighties. It was used oversee
US military and satellites and coordination and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, there's a wonderful documentary on Space Command called Spaceballs.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And it is a documentary.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh, I'm sorry that I misunderstand, Yes, sir, okay.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Filling the bench.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved sending up to six
hundred military lawyers to the Justice Department to service temporary
immigration judges. They'll start sending groups of one hundred and
fifty attorneys, both civilian and military. They should have the
first round of people identified by next week.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
While one hundred judges have been fired no reason given
or have left voluntarily. Hey, here is a factoid for you,
and that is immigration judges are not independent the way
most judges are, which is part of the judiciary branch.
Immigration judges work for the US government. They're employees of
(11:37):
the government, part of the executive branch.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That makes sense, which questions how independent are they when
you go in front of an immigration judge.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Huh, But they're not, aren't They kind of paper pushers?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, pretty much for the most part.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Although you know, they sometimes rule against the government, a
rule against themselves. It's like sec administrators sec judges, if
you will.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They work for the government. There's nothing independent about them.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And military they they're not independent.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Right, No, because they're members of the military.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
The military judges like the.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, but there's a sense you're right.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
They are in the military and therefore subject to the
executive branch, but there's an independence about them that is
different than other branches that has historically been pretty independent,
and many times they rule in favor of the defendant,
and when they don't, you're done.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
All right. So Google doesn't have to sell off its
Chrome browser or even Android, so says the federal judge
just yesterday. Very this is huge when you think about it,
because they were looking at this is an antitrust ruling, obviously,
but they were looking at separating those things or at
least making some massive changes because of its perceived as
(13:03):
an illegal online search monopoly. So they're going to have
to make some changes, but they won't have to divest
Chrome or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The changes are making its platform more available to more sources,
as opposed to monopolizing it, which it does do.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, So they're going to make certain search data available
to qualified competitors and want to be able to promote
that competition.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Wagons are circling now for JF or RFK Junior's resignation.
More than one thousand current and former workers of the
US Department of Health and Human Services. I've written a
letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, arguing that his
leadership has put the health of all Americans at risk.
(13:57):
They're demanding his resignation. Of course, this comes after the
CDC's director was fired by the Trump administration and that
spurred the resignations of other four other senior officials at
the CDC last week.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, this is interesting. Of course, he's not going to
retire or he's not going to resign. I don't believe
the president is going to force the resignation because RFK
tows the line.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
The president only fires those who don't toe the line.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
But I think COVID is on a tear and if
it really hits hard, I think you're going to see
some real issues here because RFK has changed the rules
as to the vaccines, one of them being instead of
everybody getting vaccines, the government now recommends only those over
(14:46):
sixty five or infants. I think under what a year
and a half, those are the only people that should
be vaccinated, or those who clearly have underlying medical problems.
And that is I tell you. But the bottom line
is as long as RFK stays on the good graces
(15:07):
of the president, he will never be asked to leave.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Why the young, the young, young infant, I don't remember, because.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
They're more at risk, because they're more at risk to
get virtually everything, because their immunity is not really developed yet.
I just made I just made that up. Oh okay,
but it sounds good, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Actually that may even be right? Yeah, all right, So
on that note, the story about COVID neil.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yep, do you want me to do it right now?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah? Okay, oh yeah, we have you said when we
come back minute.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okah, yeah, yeah, got Uh. So there is a COVID
way then, you know how they test these things. They
go into the sewage. They hate samples of the sewage,
and they look for COVID in the sewage, so they're
not just knocking on doors and taking samples of people. So, uh,
continued increases in California, so a lot more confirmed cases,
(16:03):
of course, hospitalizations, and some local officials are actually you know,
saying hey, you got to take some more precautions, including uh,
the much blind and frustrating masks, saying hey, put these
back on, and that mostly in indoor public settings, but yeah,
(16:24):
it's a high, high coronavirus levels in our sewage right now.
And their concern is that we're hitting a summer COVID wave.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So how many people line up to get that job
checking the sewage?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, yeah, this tastes like COVID to me.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Oh good, god, see I throwed neil. Okay, hey, hey,
you that tastes covid et to you. Oh good, all right?
That was that was a neil. I just tell you,
you know, don't all right? I think we have time
for one more.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Not yet ready for relief.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
The La County Board of Supervisors has delayed a vote
on a proposal that would expand the county's emergency rent
relief program to help immigrant families who have been impacted
by the immigration raids. Under the expansion, the program would
offer up to five thousand dollars in rent or mortgage relief.
Late yesterday afternoon, the board voted to delay the approval
(17:23):
for two weeks, and that's when they will address emergency
relief for wildfire survivors along with those affected by the
immigration rates. The program sixteen point eight million dollars in
emergency rent relief.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know the budget of the La County how
much in deficit? If it is, certainly La City is
an insane deficit. So there's been a lot of people
are going to say, hey, are we actually helping illegal
immigrants with their rent? How far are we going in
(17:56):
terms of social programs? Although if it's going to happen,
going to happen in southern California?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Also, who is it? Horfel said that first of all,
she talked about people displaced from the wildfires, and then
immigrant rights groups are saying fear is being put into communities.
Which is it? Which it is?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And rent still has to be paid, And that's true.
I think a lot of it has to do with
how much money is or is not there. All right,
this is amy, this is Neil's story.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I don't even know why this is news. It's such
a non story. But let's I don't do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I don't know if it's a non story because what
you have, if you've seen it, is a video of
someone in an open window of the White House tossing
out unknown items. It's a little weird to see. But
when brought up to when brought up to trust, Trump
(19:00):
said it's probably AI. I know that room really, Well,
there's no way. But if you've seen the video, someone
like leans over and tosses like a bag of something out.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Okay, all right, now.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
What it's not weird.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
But I got excited for a minute when I was
talking about it being a non story. I thought it
was Indian food that they were going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, non well story, don't get it.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I did google this because Trump said you can't open
the windows, right, so they're all fortified, and the Google.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Says you can't.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
But and those and I've been in the White House.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
You've been in the White House and they tell you
all these windows are fortified in bulletproof, Well, then.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It would be even a huger story. That's why I think.
That's why I think it's a non story, because Trumps
they are all although I don't know with the top
floor whether the windows are sealed.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I would hope so, yeah, so would I. And if
you want cool, fresh air, you turn on the air conditioning.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It just is really weird to see something.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Hey, great, how much time we're going to spend on
a non story?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
When you think about it, though, because lift the window.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
The White house official toll Time magazine.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh god, stop it that, stop it, stop it? Yeah, okay,
moving on. I can't stand this. And what do you
think it could be?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It was a bag of cocaine or something.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's a big bag of cocaine. If it's cocaine, Well.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Did did Biden's son?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I'm gonna go get a sandwich? Guys? Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Was a sandwich?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Maybe he's on a diet.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's like sneaking food parts.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Of him because now he's a robit.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Let's talk about Las Vegas. What do you think because
that is a little bit of news. Uh.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
The upside to another down month in Sin City, Las
Vegas saw tourism numbers drop for the sixth straight month
twelve percent, let fewer visitors compared to this time last year.
The upside of that is that gaming revenue grew by
four percent.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So the fewer people that go, the more money they make.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, so their new slogan is stay away, we're making
more money.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Well, think about it, don't If you have gambling, what
if twent what's the eighty twenty rule where twenty percent
does eighty percent of the gambling? Everybody else is there
for shows or for weird, for whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Except that the shows and the hotels and the food
that breaks.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
In it they've done.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's astronomical what the amount of money they make, although
you're eighty for this. The resorts were all Las Vegas.
One of the companies that owns a ton of these
are waiving resort and parking fees.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That was the other thing, resort fees. I hate that.
I cannot stand with all so expensive. And it used
to be free parking.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You would just go in, they give you parking, and
out you go and you go to the next, uh,
the next hotel, and now they charge for parking.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
It's just it ain't the same.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I'm thinking you might be able to get a deal
on a hotel room though, since tourism is down stair.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Here's something through the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Out of the window. What if that was the Epstein files?
What if that was Epstein?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
What if it was you?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think Malania were in a fight. Now it's her.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Window.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
By the way, here is a story that affects us
as we sit.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, so we use the Nielsen measurement system for radio
that most people know them as television, but they do
do radio as well do do.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
So.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
The The NFL Chief Data and Analyst Officer Paul Balou said,
Nielsen is underestimating the audience for league games. This is
a big deal. People complained about this all the time.
It is a few to many model, meaning they scan
a few, they do a mathematical equation and come up
(23:20):
with how many people are watching. It's not a one
to one system where they know you're right.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
But that's Nielsen when they do that technology, and that's approximate.
That's very rough where people that are listening to streaming
since through the Internet, they know exactly how many people
are listening when they're listening, what they're listening to, and
the two are not melding.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
No, you can't combine them because there's the process called right.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So a lot of people are bitching that those Nielsen
measurements are not measuring correctly like we do. That's been
a complaint that we have had for years since Nielsen
bought Arbitry and Arbitron was using the old model.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, so they do. We're not. I don't think we're
allowed to talk about much of the process, but we
yes if we complain. There are people that meet with Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
We're not talking specifics. I mean we're talking in general.
Nielsen does this across the board. And by the way,
the two models simply don't meet. I think we can
talk about that. And if we can't, we just did.
And I have no idea what the consequences are. I
wonder if those Starting tomorrow, the show will now be

Speaker 5 (27:00):
More are failing their tests. More Americans are testing positive
for fentinyl use and this is in random workplace drug test.
The positive rate for urine test indicates the president of
the synthetic opioid fentanyl was at one point one to
three percent for twenty twenty four. That's up from zero
point nine percent in twenty twenty three and double the rate,
(27:24):
double the rate from twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Although the number is down in terms of the deaths,
it's still.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Us because a narcan. Yeah, almost seventy five thousand people.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah, I mean I still a lot. Do we have
narcan here on the floor by any chance?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
No, but we do pay shin and a little extra
to slap people when they pass out.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Which makes it I think we have defibrillators, don't we.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Uh, yeah, they're on I think they're on the fourth
or the fifth floor.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Of course they are right upstairs, right with the free snacks,
the free sodas are all up there on the fifth floor.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, because ellen k needs it, Butnonya.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, So if you want to die a heart attack
here in the building, make sure you do it on
the fifth floor where the FM stations are.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Okay. So Trump is taking the war on drugs very seriously,
and apparently yesterday the US carried out a strike in
Southern Caribbean against drug carrying vessel. It departed from Venezuela.
It was opered by the trendy frend De president said
(28:49):
on social media that eleven people were killed. Super do
something like this.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, and the President is saying these this was a
boat that was going into Venezuela with these drugs or
leaving Venezuela with the drugs. Venezuela of course denies it.
Eleven people died. Are we sure that they were carrying drugs?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
However, that explosion was so entertaining, man, that was worth it.
Eleven people dying, just so we can see that explosion.
Small price to pay. That was so neat watching this
thing explode in a fireball.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Is it preemptive illegal aliens? Is that his thing? Now?
He's like, I'm just going to shoot anybody come in
our way.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, I think it's more. I think more of the drugs.
And these are high powered boats. I mean, these are
the boats that the drug users utilize. And so, you know,
I don't think many Americans are going to get upset
about that. I don't know how many civil libertarians are
going to go crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
With that one.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Mama Mia, don't eat the pizza. Wow, racist, Well it's
from Italy.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Well, thank god it wasn't Chinese food.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh geez.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Trader Joe's has a uncured pepperoni pizza. It's frozen, not
ready to eat, imported from Italy, and apparently it didn't
get the required import reinspection. Nobody's gotten sick or anything,
but because it didn't get that secondary check, they're saying, yeah,
don't eat it. They're not doing a recall because the
(30:27):
product's no longer available for purchase. But it's the Trader
Joe's uncured pepperoni pizza product of Italy.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, I would I would buy it because the was
it the food the FDA comes out and inspects it,
and how many are they gonna inspect? And my guess
if they did inspect it, it would be fine. So
I'm fine doing the uncured pepperoni pizza because I don't
like pepperoni pizza personally. I'm not a fan of pepperoni pizza. Yeah,
(30:57):
I don't like pepperoni pizza.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
What kind of pizza do you like?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I like either cheese pizza or cheese and sausage pizza pizza,
and I usually do.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Half in half. Okay, okay, I think we do have
time for one more story.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
All right. So Bishop Montgomery forfeits football season, denies ties
to boosters. So says the headline, this is just I
don't know, I don't know how this ties in, but
the first of.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
All arguing that Bishop Montgomery engaged in some inappropriate acts
with children.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
That will do it. No, Bishop Montgomery, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay, a Bishop football team and Boosters were paying parents
to transfer players.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Student, come to our school. We'll pay you.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You can't do that under the NCAA rules, And they did,
and the football season is gone.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's over for Bishop Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
What's that yeah, but you're tying it to the pedophilia
jokes and the.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah I am because it's Bishop Montgomery. No, I I
that's funny. You understand that's funny. Amy is that not funny?
You're shaking your Headno, did you find that funny?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Not this particular one? Okay? And did you find that funny?
Speaker 2 (32:35):

his job?
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Will?
Speaker 3 (32:43):

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
That's even worse. All right, we're done, guys. You know
what Bishop Montgomery?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Come on, guys, you know maybe Bishop Montgomery was being
thrown out of the window of the White House. We're
gonna go. I don't get it. I'll tell you something.

First day, Hello to everyone.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Let's start with the ever not so lovely we'll CROs
Cole Schreiber. Well, good more, Bill Handle. Yeah, you got
a weird name to pronounce. You're having a difficult name
to pronounce.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Not a weird name. Did you have a nickname when
you were a kid?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Willie?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
WILLI? Were you a Willie? I was a WILLI? Everyone
else was a bill I was a Willie? Wow?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, yeah, I remember mine was a light switch, but
that had more to do with my anatomical issues and
anything else.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, I'm sorry, Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Six a little time check.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, well, hey, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Right, Good morning, Anne, Good morning, there you are, and cono,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Good morning. And did you go by little Billy from Brazil?
Isn't that?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I went?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I went by well. Growing up, my middle name, my
real name was Wolf handle, Wolf being a name in
Europe with which is like John or George. It's a
very normal name, and I was made so much fun
of as a kid that people would go, oh Wolf,
and I wish I had kept it. So when I
(02:12):
became naturalized as an American citizen, it I changed it
where I was able to. Actually, my parents said what
name do you want, and I said William, and so
I became William Wolf.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I wish I had kept it, like Wolf Blitzer. That
is a neat name to be wolf.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
But I only reeled that realized that as an adult,
I was never I was never a Willie.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I was never a billy. I was never a billy Bob.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Now I am called Willie Wolf by two people, one Savile,
my best friend, one of my best friends, and the
other one who usurped that name, and that is Neil.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yes, but I do get it from Saville. I give
him full credit.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Will I call you a handle Willie Wolf, and that
that was the only two people anyway, Cono, good morning.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Good morning, and think it is hilarious.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Yeah, yeah, I was horrible. Still you know what here
I am, here, I am. I'm still in therapy over that.
You know, we're talking sixty years now.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I find it hard to believe that's the only thing
they could make fun of you about.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's true, and well we can there's a topic for us.
And then the lady in pink, uh, the one and
only Amy, Good morning morning Bill. Yeah, so you have
this thing about Barbie this morning because that's Barbie pink.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
It is Barbie pink. It matches my shorts.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Oh you know what you're wearing shorts.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
See, that's why we're above the waist of what we
see each other. So, as I said many times, below
the waist when it's really hot, guess what, I don't wear.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Anything.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
I just don't even want to know that.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
I'm having I had a chair custom made. No.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
No, it's like, you know, go to a massage table
where you have that with that hole that you put
your face through. Well, this is not my face. Okay,
you're right. It's now six oh seven in the morning. Uh,
all right, really quickly before we get to the news, Neil.
(04:22):
Let's talk about what's going on coming up Saturday.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Not well, is it this Saturday? Yes, it is this Saturday.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I was hoping to be excused for the day. But yeah,
this Saturday, we will be out and I mean we,
as in Bill and me will be out for the
Fork Report broadcasting life from Wild Fork Foods in Long Beach.
It's on second and pH will be there again from
two to five, celebrating their one year anniversary in that location.
(04:49):
And it will be fun to be out in Long Beach.
We're giving a bunch of stuff away. They'll be doing
samples of their food. Their food's fantastic. It'll be a
good time, be a lot of fun. They'll be grilling outside.
The smells will be wonderful. Yeah, it's gonna be a
lot of share.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Come down and come on down, and uh, how do
you get in? How do you win a spot to
get in?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You show up? Yeah, you know, you just show up.
Actually you win when you do show up, But just
show up.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And Zelman's is going to be there and some great samples,
and we're talking about Wildfork Foods, which is on a
whole new level.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
The proteins they do if you've never.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Been to a location. They're spectacular.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, you call meat proteins. Why don't you call it?
What don't you call it meat?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I do sometimes, No, you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
You always call it proteins flesh?
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I call it carne.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, so I don't ever hear that. All right, guys,
let's call it. We've got a lot to do. Let's
start a time for handle on the news with Amy
Neil and me lead story.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Honesty. Well, some of.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
The Epstein files have been released by a House committee,
thirty three thousand pages worth, most of them already in
the public domain, not really diving into it. And so
while the House, the Speaker and the Justice Department says, oh, no,
(06:17):
we want to release everything, they're not.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're not releasing everything.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And they talk about redacting names that the victims, So
just redact the victim names.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Okay, now what why don't you release everything else?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
And as Johnson, Mike Johnson is saying that there's complete
transparency and we want to release it, and the Justice
Department wants to release it, he will not let on
the floor a motion or a vote to release it,
to force the Justice Department to release why because the
(06:51):
President says, I don't want the release, and Johnson says,
whatever you want, mister president.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
That to be true. You're assuming this, I'm assuming what
that Trump doesn't want them released.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Oh, he says he doesn't want them released.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But he hasn't come out and said that.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Has he No, But it's just but his Justice Department
has So what does that mean? All right, moving on,
we'll see if they're released or not. By the way,
I think that you're going to find when they're fully released.
And I don't think Trump.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
By the way, was involved in any of the criminal
activity at all. I think what we're going to see
is the relationship between Epstein and Trump far closer than
it was being portrayed.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's it, I think.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
And and but the political optics of that are going
to be horrible. And again I want to reiterate, if
anybody says, oh, no, it's going to prove that Trump
did something wrong, I don't believe that for a second
when it comes to having sex with underage girls, not
for a moment.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
All right, let's move on.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Showing off their stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Xijingping has presided over one of China's biggest military parades
and was flanked by Vladimir Putin Russia and North Korea's
Kim Jong Un. It was a procession of China's newest tanks, drones,
and those hypersonic missiles. It was held around Tiannaman Square,
(08:27):
marking the eightieth anniversary of the Second World War victory
World War two victory over Japan. First time the Chinese, Russian,
and North Korean leaders have all gathered together in the
same place.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, there's a lot of moving pieces here.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm going to be talking about that at eight o'clock
because I think as fair to say there really is
a new world order going on right now, and that's
coming up at eight As I dive into it a
lot deeper.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
As we're distracted by the Epstein files, they're making a
new axis of evil. We all right, Trump moving the
US Space Command headquarters, and it's been going back and forth,
a lot of people around him saying, you know, put
it here, put it there. Colorado was an option, and
(09:16):
that's where it was going to go. But now he's
moving the headquarters from Colorado to Alabama in Huntsville. He
says that's the beautiful locale that he is going to
be moving it to. And but people have been going
back and forth in his ear, and it sounds like
he doesn't want to talk about it anymore. He said,
you're not going to call me anymore and talk about
(09:38):
this subject, right, you promise, because they've been lobbying both sides.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
You know, are you Are you aware of the history
of Huntsville.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That's where the Nazi rocket rocket experts were set up
after World War Two to help the US develop its
rocket tree program.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And they brought.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Von Braun and his team over and they went to Huntsville.
If you ever see the video, he had had a
broken arm or something at that time because he was
brought over. But there was some legal issue as to
what was going to happen, So they threw them on
a bus, drove into Mexico, gave them their green card,
and drove them.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Right back to Huntsville.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, so Huntsville has a Huntsville has a huge history
of rocketry.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
And for those that aren't sure what that is, space
Command goes back to the eighties. It was used oversee
US military and satellites and coordination and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah, there's a wonderful documentary on Space Command called Spaceballs.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And it is a documentary.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh, I'm sorry that I misunderstand, Yes, sir, okay.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Filling the bench.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved sending up to six
hundred military lawyers to the Justice Department to service temporary
immigration judges. They'll start sending groups of one hundred and
fifty attorneys, both civilian and military. They should have the
first round of people identified by next week.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
While one hundred judges have been fired no reason given
or have left voluntarily. Hey, here is a factoid for you,
and that is immigration judges are not independent the way
most judges are, which is part of the judiciary branch.
Immigration judges work for the US government. They're employees of
(11:37):
the government, part of the executive branch.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That makes sense, which questions how independent are they when
you go in front of an immigration judge.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Huh, But they're not, aren't They kind of paper pushers?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yeah, pretty much for the most part.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Although you know, they sometimes rule against the government, a
rule against themselves. It's like sec administrators sec judges, if
you will.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They work for the government. There's nothing independent about them.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And military they they're not independent.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Right, No, because they're members of the military.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
The military judges like the.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, but there's a sense you're right.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
They are in the military and therefore subject to the
executive branch, but there's an independence about them that is
different than other branches that has historically been pretty independent,
and many times they rule in favor of the defendant,
and when they don't, you're done.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
All right. So Google doesn't have to sell off its
Chrome browser or even Android, so says the federal judge
just yesterday. Very this is huge when you think about it,
because they were looking at this is an antitrust ruling, obviously,
but they were looking at separating those things or at
least making some massive changes because of its perceived as
(13:03):
an illegal online search monopoly. So they're going to have
to make some changes, but they won't have to divest
Chrome or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
The changes are making its platform more available to more sources,
as opposed to monopolizing it, which it does do.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, So they're going to make certain search data available
to qualified competitors and want to be able to promote
that competition.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
Wagons are circling now for JF or RFK Junior's resignation.
More than one thousand current and former workers of the
US Department of Health and Human Services. I've written a
letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, arguing that his
leadership has put the health of all Americans at risk.
(13:57):
They're demanding his resignation. Of course, this comes after the
CDC's director was fired by the Trump administration and that
spurred the resignations of other four other senior officials at
the CDC last week.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Yeah, this is interesting. Of course, he's not going to
retire or he's not going to resign. I don't believe
the president is going to force the resignation because RFK
tows the line.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
The president only fires those who don't toe the line.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
But I think COVID is on a tear and if
it really hits hard, I think you're going to see
some real issues here because RFK has changed the rules
as to the vaccines, one of them being instead of
everybody getting vaccines, the government now recommends only those over
(14:46):
sixty five or infants. I think under what a year
and a half, those are the only people that should
be vaccinated, or those who clearly have underlying medical problems.
And that is I tell you. But the bottom line
is as long as RFK stays on the good graces
(15:07):
of the president, he will never be asked to leave.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Why the young, the young, young infant, I don't remember, because.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
They're more at risk, because they're more at risk to
get virtually everything, because their immunity is not really developed yet.
I just made I just made that up. Oh okay,
but it sounds good, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Actually that may even be right? Yeah, all right, So
on that note, the story about COVID neil.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yep, do you want me to do it right now?
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah? Okay, oh yeah, we have you said when we
come back minute.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Okah, yeah, yeah, got Uh. So there is a COVID
way then, you know how they test these things. They
go into the sewage. They hate samples of the sewage,
and they look for COVID in the sewage, so they're
not just knocking on doors and taking samples of people. So, uh,
continued increases in California, so a lot more confirmed cases,
(16:03):
of course, hospitalizations, and some local officials are actually you know,
saying hey, you got to take some more precautions, including uh,
the much blind and frustrating masks, saying hey, put these
back on, and that mostly in indoor public settings, but yeah,
(16:24):
it's a high, high coronavirus levels in our sewage right now.
And their concern is that we're hitting a summer COVID wave.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So how many people line up to get that job
checking the sewage?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, yeah, this tastes like COVID to me.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Oh good, god, see I throwed neil. Okay, hey, hey,
you that tastes covid et to you. Oh good, all right?
That was that was a neil. I just tell you,
you know, don't all right? I think we have time
for one more.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Not yet ready for relief.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
The La County Board of Supervisors has delayed a vote
on a proposal that would expand the county's emergency rent
relief program to help immigrant families who have been impacted
by the immigration raids. Under the expansion, the program would
offer up to five thousand dollars in rent or mortgage relief.
Late yesterday afternoon, the board voted to delay the approval
(17:23):
for two weeks, and that's when they will address emergency
relief for wildfire survivors along with those affected by the
immigration rates. The program sixteen point eight million dollars in
emergency rent relief.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know the budget of the La County how
much in deficit? If it is, certainly La City is
an insane deficit. So there's been a lot of people
are going to say, hey, are we actually helping illegal
immigrants with their rent? How far are we going in
(17:56):
terms of social programs? Although if it's going to happen,
going to happen in southern California?
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Also, who is it? Horfel said that first of all,
she talked about people displaced from the wildfires, and then
immigrant rights groups are saying fear is being put into communities.
Which is it? Which it is?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
And rent still has to be paid, And that's true.
I think a lot of it has to do with
how much money is or is not there. All right,
this is amy, this is Neil's story.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I don't even know why this is news. It's such
a non story. But let's I don't do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I don't know if it's a non story because what
you have, if you've seen it, is a video of
someone in an open window of the White House tossing
out unknown items. It's a little weird to see. But
when brought up to when brought up to trust, Trump
(19:00):
said it's probably AI. I know that room really, Well,
there's no way. But if you've seen the video, someone
like leans over and tosses like a bag of something out.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Okay, all right, now.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
What it's not weird.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
It's weird.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
But I got excited for a minute when I was
talking about it being a non story. I thought it
was Indian food that they were going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, non well story, don't get it.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I did google this because Trump said you can't open
the windows, right, so they're all fortified, and the Google.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Says you can't.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
But and those and I've been in the White House.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
You've been in the White House and they tell you
all these windows are fortified in bulletproof, Well, then.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
It would be even a huger story. That's why I think.
That's why I think it's a non story, because Trumps
they are all although I don't know with the top
floor whether the windows are sealed.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I would hope so, yeah, so would I. And if
you want cool, fresh air, you turn on the air conditioning.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It just is really weird to see something.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Hey, great, how much time we're going to spend on
a non story?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
When you think about it, though, because lift the window.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
The White house official toll Time magazine.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Oh god, stop it that, stop it, stop it? Yeah, okay,
moving on. I can't stand this. And what do you
think it could be?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
It was a bag of cocaine or something.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
It's a big bag of cocaine. If it's cocaine, Well.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Did did Biden's son?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I'm gonna go get a sandwich? Guys? Uh?
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Was a sandwich?
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Maybe he's on a diet.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's like sneaking food parts.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Of him because now he's a robit.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Let's talk about Las Vegas. What do you think because
that is a little bit of news. Uh.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
The upside to another down month in Sin City, Las
Vegas saw tourism numbers drop for the sixth straight month
twelve percent, let fewer visitors compared to this time last year.
The upside of that is that gaming revenue grew by
four percent.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
So the fewer people that go, the more money they make.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, so their new slogan is stay away, we're making
more money.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Well, think about it, don't If you have gambling, what
if twent what's the eighty twenty rule where twenty percent
does eighty percent of the gambling? Everybody else is there
for shows or for weird, for whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Except that the shows and the hotels and the food
that breaks.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
In it they've done.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's astronomical what the amount of money they make, although
you're eighty for this. The resorts were all Las Vegas.
One of the companies that owns a ton of these
are waiving resort and parking fees.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That was the other thing, resort fees. I hate that.
I cannot stand with all so expensive. And it used
to be free parking.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
You would just go in, they give you parking, and
out you go and you go to the next, uh,
the next hotel, and now they charge for parking.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
It's just it ain't the same.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
I'm thinking you might be able to get a deal
on a hotel room though, since tourism is down stair.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Here's something through the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Out of the window. What if that was the Epstein files?
What if that was Epstein?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
What if it was you?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I think Malania were in a fight. Now it's her.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Window.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
By the way, here is a story that affects us
as we sit.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay, so we use the Nielsen measurement system for radio
that most people know them as television, but they do
do radio as well do do.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
So.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
The The NFL Chief Data and Analyst Officer Paul Balou said,
Nielsen is underestimating the audience for league games. This is
a big deal. People complained about this all the time.
It is a few to many model, meaning they scan
a few, they do a mathematical equation and come up
(23:20):
with how many people are watching. It's not a one
to one system where they know you're right.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
But that's Nielsen when they do that technology, and that's approximate.
That's very rough where people that are listening to streaming
since through the Internet, they know exactly how many people
are listening when they're listening, what they're listening to, and
the two are not melding.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
No, you can't combine them because there's the process called right.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
So a lot of people are bitching that those Nielsen
measurements are not measuring correctly like we do. That's been
a complaint that we have had for years since Nielsen
bought Arbitry and Arbitron was using the old model.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, so they do. We're not. I don't think we're
allowed to talk about much of the process, but we
yes if we complain. There are people that meet with Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
We're not talking specifics. I mean we're talking in general.
Nielsen does this across the board. And by the way,
the two models simply don't meet. I think we can
talk about that. And if we can't, we just did.
And I have no idea what the consequences are. I
wonder if those Starting tomorrow, the show will now be
(24:32):
hosted by Neil.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
So Nielsen ratings being thrown out of the way.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
There Neil sun Ratings coming up on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
By the way, Neil and I aron inviting you to
join him and me at his broadcast from two to five,

Wild Fork Restaurant in Long Beach, and there'll be plenty
of samples, and Zelman's going to be there, and it's

trying to get Lindsey to join us.
Speaker 2 (25:09):

I bring spaghetti and you and I reenact that scene

All right, back we go, as we finish handle all.

and let's finish up. Handle on the news with Amy,
Neil and Me.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
More are failing their tests. More Americans are testing positive
for fentinyl use and this is in random workplace drug test.
The positive rate for urine test indicates the president of
the synthetic opioid fentanyl was at one point one to
three percent for twenty twenty four. That's up from zero
point nine percent in twenty twenty three and double the rate,
(27:24):
double the rate from twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Although the number is down in terms of the deaths,
it's still.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Us because a narcan. Yeah, almost seventy five thousand people.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah, I mean I still a lot. Do we have
narcan here on the floor by any chance?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
No, but we do pay shin and a little extra
to slap people when they pass out.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Which makes it I think we have defibrillators, don't we.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Uh, yeah, they're on I think they're on the fourth
or the fifth floor.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Of course they are right upstairs, right with the free snacks,
the free sodas are all up there on the fifth floor.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Yeah, because ellen k needs it, Butnonya.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, So if you want to die a heart attack
here in the building, make sure you do it on
the fifth floor where the FM stations are.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Okay. So Trump is taking the war on drugs very seriously,
and apparently yesterday the US carried out a strike in
Southern Caribbean against drug carrying vessel. It departed from Venezuela.
It was opered by the trendy frend De president said
(28:49):
on social media that eleven people were killed. Super do
something like this.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, and the President is saying these this was a
boat that was going into Venezuela with these drugs or
leaving Venezuela with the drugs. Venezuela of course denies it.
Eleven people died. Are we sure that they were carrying drugs?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
However, that explosion was so entertaining, man, that was worth it.
Eleven people dying, just so we can see that explosion.
Small price to pay. That was so neat watching this
thing explode in a fireball.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Is it preemptive illegal aliens? Is that his thing? Now?
He's like, I'm just going to shoot anybody come in
our way.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, I think it's more. I think more of the drugs.
And these are high powered boats. I mean, these are
the boats that the drug users utilize. And so, you know,
I don't think many Americans are going to get upset
about that. I don't know how many civil libertarians are
going to go crazy.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
With that one.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Mama Mia, don't eat the pizza. Wow, racist, Well it's
from Italy.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Well, thank god it wasn't Chinese food.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Oh geez.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
Trader Joe's has a uncured pepperoni pizza. It's frozen, not
ready to eat, imported from Italy, and apparently it didn't
get the required import reinspection. Nobody's gotten sick or anything,
but because it didn't get that secondary check, they're saying, yeah,
don't eat it. They're not doing a recall because the
(30:27):
product's no longer available for purchase. But it's the Trader
Joe's uncured pepperoni pizza product of Italy.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, I would I would buy it because the was
it the food the FDA comes out and inspects it,
and how many are they gonna inspect? And my guess
if they did inspect it, it would be fine. So
I'm fine doing the uncured pepperoni pizza because I don't
like pepperoni pizza personally. I'm not a fan of pepperoni pizza. Yeah,
(30:57):
I don't like pepperoni pizza.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
What kind of pizza do you like?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I like either cheese pizza or cheese and sausage pizza pizza,
and I usually do.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Half in half. Okay, okay, I think we do have
time for one more story.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
All right. So Bishop Montgomery forfeits football season, denies ties
to boosters. So says the headline, this is just I
don't know, I don't know how this ties in, but
the first of.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
All arguing that Bishop Montgomery engaged in some inappropriate acts
with children.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
That will do it. No, Bishop Montgomery, Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Okay, a Bishop football team and Boosters were paying parents
to transfer players.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Student, come to our school. We'll pay you.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
You can't do that under the NCAA rules, And they did,
and the football season is gone.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's over for Bishop Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
What's that yeah, but you're tying it to the pedophilia
jokes and the.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah I am because it's Bishop Montgomery. No, I I

Speaker 1 (32:45):
I wasn't paying attention.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
That's even worse. All right, we're done, guys. You know
what Bishop Montgomery?
Speaker 1 (32:53):

thrown out of the window of the White House. We're
gonna go. I don't get it. I'll tell you something.
