guards there. But have you ever been to the Louver
or any major museum. The guards sitting there and are
in a corner on a chair.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
There's not a lot of folding chair.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Now they're asleep.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
They're asleep because guards not only are issued uniforms, are
also issued ambient pills.
Speaker 4 (00:28):

good time talking before the show, talking between and you

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yes, last night.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Grill carry.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, I bought Stonefire grill for everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And by the way, I just want to let you know.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I I paid for it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, I was a gift card, but still I could
have used it someplace else.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Thanks for breaking those stereotypes, buddy.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, As I always say, if you cannot get it
free or wholesale.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You don't need it at all.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
There's the philosophy muscle took.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thank you Cone.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You notice I left you out of the mix in
terms of by talking beforehand and during the breaks.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Have you noticed that I noticed? Okay, just want to
way you know I said that on purpose. Thank you?
Oh you will.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, he's kind of busy.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah. We were just talking about flying. Actually, uh, the
three of us in the.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And Neil I mentioned, there's a story about what is
it long beach airplane landed on the beach, Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Honeyton Beach.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Kind of neat and just right there on the sand,
and it's some perfect shape. Usually when airplanes have emergency
landings are a mess. And Neil said, you've ever been.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Up in a little airplane? I go, yeah, yeah, a
bunch of times.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I said I soloed actually, and when I was
in my twenties, I was good.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
But we're talking about flying, spending time in the closet.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah exactly, And so I actually soloded because I was
gonna hit my pilot's license. And the reason I soloed,
and I'll give you the reason. I'm so out of
van eyes. I flew out of the Van Eys Airport
and when I started and my first solo, and this
is what I wanted to do. This was the reason.
Is the control tower. I was cleared, you know, Sessa
(02:51):
eight six four whatever. You're cleared for a takeoff, you're
cleared for takeoff, a touch and go, or you just
touch and then you take off again. And the controller
said that you are cleared. And I said, Roger Wilco,
over and out.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And how cool are you?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, And there was just silence for just a second,
and the guy said, we don't say that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
What's your vector? Victor?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Man, I have driven with you a million times, and
I am frightened that you've been in the plane at
your own control.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know you'd ask because I'm an aviation buff. Yeah,
I'm not a pilot, because it's a lot of work
to fly.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You're looking around all the time, you're looking at the instruments,
you're looking at airspeed. You're not enjoying looking around and
just having a rip roaring good time, which is what
it's all about.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Anyway. Good morning, Neil, good morning to you. Good morning
Willie Woolfs. And there is the lovely Amy.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Good morning, Amy, good morning, And Dodgers play today. They do,
and we're not supposed to say the Dodgers are going
to win or how they are favored, because she does
not want it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Jinxed exactly, all right, So Dodgers, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's exactly, they are going to kill the Blue Jays,
all right. Hi, Hi, Hello, Anne Cono, good morning, good morning,
good morning, Will.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Where's Will out there? Well, you're there, I'm here, I'm here.
I'm just not there.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I can't see I I can't see in the monitor
because Will's down the home little.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Actually I'm not. I'm at home because I'm a little
under the weather. But yeah, I knew you were coming in.
Nothing about that. Think about that under the weather.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Will points that out because we don't have an airplane anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Okay, so he's always under the weather. True. Yeah, that's deep.
So you're missing on on the carrot cake, Will, damn. Yeah,
damn that.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
But he's in his Chony's not chilling.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's true. That's true. That's why I like broadcasting at home.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I a thirty foot commute and I just literally just
walk down the stairs going to the studio and going
I own shower. I'm still in my pja stept in
the summer where I go commando and the nards are
going back and forth and flying and hanging over the
Chair's fine, you know that?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Is it true?
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Will gives you custom report. It looks like the elevator
is clear. Right now, you can make way down from
the pisser.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All right, you should be there any minute. Okay, let's
do it, guys.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, on a Friday, We've got plenty of stuff to cover.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Handle on news with Amy Neil me Lead. Sorry, a.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
President, in a not surprising move, really got pissed off
the Ontario Canada, in the country of Canada are running
ads in the US quoting and actually running ads of
Ronald Reagan talking about traps said he did during a
(06:01):
speech while he was president, ripping into tariffs as to
how bad they are.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Canada is running those.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Trump is so angry with that that he has just
stopped all negotiations with Canada.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
We're done with Canada over an ad and he says
it's fake news.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It is not. Ronald Reagan did say that is the
ad edited?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, yeah, to some extent, I'm reading all of I'm
reading the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, I've seen those cuts. It's edited.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I think the premise doesn't stop. Ronald Reagan does not
say I love tariffs. So edited Trump is right fake news?
Not quite. But the bottom line is, don't don't piss
off this president, even if you are a country, don't
piss them off.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
And Canada still refuses to say sorry.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
So so who listen, who starts a fight with Canada?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Then Canada is just poking the bear too.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I mean exactly yes at this point, because they love bears,
a lot of bears, because they're going Canada.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's it's really interesting how after Trump said Canada should
be our fifty first state and you a bunch of
losers who poked for so the prime minister's Trump does Yeah,
the prime the Prime Minister of Canada. It was going
to lose. I mean, he was going to be wiped
out in the election. That saved him and the party
(07:34):
came back and strong, and they should do. What they
should do is think Trump, thank you, thank you, thank you,
you saved us.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
He is a magnet if your attracts or repels.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, all right, moving on.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No surprise. The twenty nine year old accused of starting
a fire early on New Year's Morning that a week
later erupted and turned into the deadly Palisades fire. Has
pleaded not guilty in an LA courtroom. He's facing three
federal charges. Jonathan Rinderneck used to live in Pacific Palisades.
(08:10):
They arrested him, remember, in Florida earlier this month, and
for these charges, he could face up to forty five
years in prison.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And he's going to get them all too. I think
it's going to be consecutive and the jud's going.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
To give him max considering what happened well, and I
think it's going to be interesting to see. Is he
going to face charges for all the people who died
too That hasn't even come up Yeteah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And he's going to spend the rest of his life
in jail, and he's going to be ordered to pay restitution.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He didn't have any money, that is correct.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But the restitution is going to be a whopper here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Now, the interesting story is that he lit the fire
and a week later it exploded.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, remember it was that one that started on New
Year's and it was like eight acres they put it out.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, the smolder they were obviously smoldering embers that reignited.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, so you've got a Senate bill that came in.
It's been blowing, and this had to deal with paying
federal workers during the shutdown. So of course this seems
pretty much sliced down partisan lines here. But this is
about those that have to work in the government, that
(09:14):
just have to work and whether they are going to
be paid during this time they have to work during
the shutdown. Regardless what am I missing here?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I don't know why the Democrats would kill this bill.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I just don't get it, because it's about.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Paying workers that have to be paid, you know, having
nothing to do with the extension of Obamacare and bringing
back the extension the addition of Medicaid people.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
But you know, it's usually not what straightforward though bill,
it's something that's hidden. So Democrats are arguing that Johnson's
bill gave the White House Budget Director Russell Vought way
too much leeway on determining which workers would get paid
and which would not, and they felt they were going
to you know, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
The Republicans are saying it's a clean bill, you know,
it's only what we have before. That's not true. There
are changes, not huge changes. I mean, we're not talking
about Obamacare extension. I mean, big, big stuff, but you
know it's it doesn't matter. I was listening to an
interview yesterday. If the Democrats say yes, the Republicans say no.
If the Democrats say the most yeah, if instead of listening,
(10:23):
if the Democrats simply say it's raining outside, no, no
it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Okay. Don't you think that goes both ways?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yes? Okay, yeah, but that's the problem.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Yes, it's only a problem if it goes both Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, it absolutely goes both ways. If the Democrats say
it's raining, no, it's not. If the Republicans say it's raining, no,
it's not yet, unless they both would go outside and
get wet, then they agree.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, they'll never agree.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
No, wonder, I'm just sweating.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, this one big. The NBA, the mafia, and millions
and millions in sports and poker bets. Portland Trailblazers head
coach and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups, also Miami guard
heat Terry Rosier or Rosier, and former NBA journeyman Damon
(11:12):
Jones among thirty four people indicted. There's two separate federal
gambling investigations that they uncovered or announced yesterday, and they
involve players like fixing games, kind of like coming out
of a game early to affect some of the prop bets.
That's weird and which could affect millions and millions of
(11:34):
people because of all the online sports betting. And then
the other one was had to do with poker games
where they would like lure people into to play these
high stakes games by using celebrities and stuff. And then
they have X ray machines so they could see the
cards on the table. They have cards shufflers that can
(11:54):
sort of manipulate the cards, and the mafia is involved.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Do you know to an interview on CNN do CNN
radio sometimes coming in in the morning, Sorry about that,
George instead of George Nori. So Terry not a problem, Bill,
I know there was, so I don't know who it was.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Just take this pill, but it will feel better.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Were you saying talking about Terry Rosier who's a ballplayer
and he mentioned right after Rosier was talking to Venusians
Because this was just as George Norry was ending the
guy makes twenty six million dollars, What the hell is
he doing? You know, why would you do that to
make fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
None of that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I mean, I can see the the mafia guys who
are ripping people off. I can see former players maybe you.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Know no longer have the money.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
But come on, guys, well you remember when Winona Ryder
was cut stealing?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I mean, it's cut the man yet. Yeah, but
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Maybe there's some maybe you know, I'll buy that's just
some compulsion there.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Maybe he got in with the mafia and they forced.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Him to do it. Maybe maybe the mob was all
over this place.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
All right, So more garbage comes out of Pacific Palisades.
Of course, when you have that much damage and that
much rebuilding to take place, people are going to have
pretty deep emotions tied into it. In this one deals
with Gladstone's longtime community staple. We've all been there, we
love it, and they're looking to rebuild and to do
(13:31):
something different. The plan calls for demolishing the existing twelve
thousand square foot seafood restaurant and replacing it with an
even larger one seventeen thy five hundred square foot but
contemporary dining space. You're looking at the celebrity chef Wolfgang
Puck going in there, Frank Airy, Frank Garry, Yeah, Walt
(13:53):
Disney Concert Hall, Googenheim Museum.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I know this is whos in Santa Monica. You know
that Frank Gary I did not know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, he lives in He has a tin roof on
his house. Is a relatives small house. Uh, you know,
it's uh, you know, it's a Frank Garry kind of house.
The architecture, but the guy is world famous. And this
is so they're gonna go from a restaurant to a restaurant. Yeah,
but gladys Stone was falling apart the building. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
But you know, it's hard when you're emotionally attached to
these things. So neighbors, even though it was passed unanimously
to get the right to do this, you've got residents
saying that they're saddened by it. You know, you're gonna
they say they're gonna there's gonna be less parking and
things like that. The stuff that you can't really argue
about is, oh, it's going to cause disruption, you know what.
(14:40):
There's gonna be construction in that area for a long time. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, this isn't the only thing built in that area.
It's just sad because Gladstone is so iconic.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
And it was approachable, and we don't know if this
one is going to be higher costs, so it's not
going to be approachable for locals or the.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Same talking talking about how cost amy, Let's do this
one and then we'll.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Take a break.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Okay, Oh, still high, but lo two three percent is
the new inflation numbers that were just reported Friday. They
were delayed by a week because of the government shutdown.
Economists had expected prices to go up three point one
percent in December. They rose three percent. Two point nine
(15:24):
percent was the year over year increase for August.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, but so well what the Fed wants to two
percent and we're not going in that right now. We're
not going in that direction two percent. So inflation is
hitting us. I mean, we things are more expensive. I
just bought the horrible sandwich shut down the hall at
our machine thing.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It was just some mischon decafetorium. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
The flavor, it's just.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Like the last I don't even know.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Looks like an eight salad cent Well that's what.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
They say, but who we I didn't know that eight
salad sandwich I egged were purple.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
They didn't have like raw.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
The point is that sandwich a couple of years ago
was three ninety five, it's five eighty six.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Well, you know what, I was talking to Ann yesterday
about this, because she's a big Halloween person too and
decorates her house. We're talking about candy. We spent over
one hundred dollars on candy and that's our first hall.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah. There's no kid on the planet that's worth one
hundred dollars for candy. Give me a break.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
CBS has a buy one, get one for a buck, right.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Now, huh huh, and then you can make a mummy
out of the receipt. All right, we'll be exactly good point.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
That's a very good point.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Contaminated meat from grocery store maybe causing your ut eyes.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Good night everybody. Yeah, that's that's fairly new. So this
is a.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Long standing belief, apparently that urinary tract infections are largely
caused by poor personal hygiene.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, and they enter the arethra.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
No great Arethra Franklin, Yeah, ureth for Franklin. Yeah, but
there's this news, just new research that suggests that many
cases may actually be caused by infectious e coal I
back Terrier from contaminated meat. I always thought it was
a UTI was from contaminated meat.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
WHOA, Okay, let's let's move on on that one.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Amy, you want to take that, Let's move on. Letitia James,
new York's attorney general, wants her case to be dismissed.
She's filed a notice. Her plan or her team plans
to ask for her indictment to be dismissed because of
the appointment of President Trump's handpicked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan. The
(17:46):
two page brief also included a footnote referring to another
recent indictment against former FBI Director James the same thing,
who wants his case dismissed.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Both of them are arguing the same thing. In the
case of Letitia James, the attorney general for the Southern
District of Virginia.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I think Letitia James, she stayed in New York.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, no, I understand, but I think it was filed by
the Southern District if I'm not mistaken anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Who the previous one resed, refused to.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Indict, refused to go forward, and so Trump fired him
and replaced with her, who had never done.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
A prosecution in her life. She was his attorney.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But here's going to be the argument, even if President
Trump instituted it, certainly with Komi, and he said he
should be indicted, he should be tried, he should be
put in jail. I think the argument's going to be,
notwithstanding any of all that there is still enough here
to convict. There is still a crime here. I think
the courts are going to say that's right. I don't
(18:49):
think the case is going to be dismissed because Trump
going after her obviously for political reasons, and her being
guilty or not mutually exclusive. So I don't think. I
don't think it's gonna be dismissed. We'll see.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
It's that's a hard row to hoe or a hoe
to row.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Okay uh Alaska Airlines didn't they have some problems in
the past as well. They had some of the Boeing issues. Well,
they just had a new one yesterday. They experienced an
IT outage and it affected operations.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Obviously, they.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Dealt with massive headaches at the gates and people were
delayed and people were upset. I've never had that kind
of catastrophic experience.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, well, I've seen delayed, I've seen parts that were.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I've but I you know, I think going to your wedding,
as a matter of fact, there was some issue like
you had to be there thirty minutes to be proved
to leave out of England or something.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
No, some weird thing, some weird thing, but never knock.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
On way anyway. So they're grounded by this it issue issue.
I thought, I said, uti issue because we're doing it
because of the filthy meat, because of the filthy meat.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Would be filthy you, filthy, disgusting meat.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
All right, penny for your thoughts. You can't say that
much longer because apparently some retailers are running out of
pennies without enough pennies. According to a spokesperson for Quick Trip,
which is a convenience story, says stores can't make the
correct change for cash transactions. The Treasury Department officially stopped
making pennies earlier this year, which came after President Trump
(20:41):
told the department in February to stop making It costs
three cents to make a one sentence.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
He's right, Well, think about this, What a pain in
the ass those pennies. You go in and you get
change four cents because something goes five oh one or whatever.
You know, just round up or round down.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Done, Gonna have to do that to the five cent markers.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, of course they are. I mean, you know, pennies
make no sense.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You know in England they are are called pins, you
know that named after Pence, I know, named after Mike.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
They he's a real.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Big here, he's really old.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, but anyway, they's it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
He didn't want to get rid of the penny, he said,
every penny is sacred. Okay, all right, So onto the Poultergeist.
The Poultergeist House in Seem Valley. You remember that to
quit essential eighties house. Yes, well, the owner of the
home that was featured in that nineteen eighty two blockbuster
(21:41):
movie Poltergeist.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Not the remake is available on Airbnb.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
What a sec? It imploded? Yes, it's just a hole
in the ground.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
So they hooked up a they hooked up a hose
in a pump, and it turned out it just needed
to be refilled.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Have you ever seen the special effects on what it?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
To Plowe that it was brilliant. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
So apparently the story goes that they were reading the
script and the special effects advisors are going through it
and they're like and it it spelled wrong.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
It should be exploded right and then no it implodes.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Way you can rent, you can so, Yeah, and I
guess they've they put a bunch of furnishines and horror
films and nineteen eighties nostalgia in there there.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, Ok, there's a lot.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
There's a haunted mansion, Disney themed one in Fullerton that
looks a maze balls and I think it goes for
six eight hundred dollars a night during this season.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, but those are friendly ghosts.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Cast you it's got it. No, the michelin Man ghosts.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
They what did they call him, Neil?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Happy haunts?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Happy haunts, Yeah, nine.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Hundred and ninety nine happy haunts, exactly, different kind of ghost.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Good news if you don't want to grow up, get
it toys. R Us is reopening stores across the entry,
not a ton of them. Two of them are in California.
They say that they're going to open thirty new locations,
including a flagship store at the Camerio Premium outlets. Oh
that's a good outlet, and from Captain Obvious. They say
(23:14):
the news stores are designed as convenient, family friendly destinations,
no kidding. Lego Barbie, hot Wheels, Nerve, Paw, Patrol, all
your favorite goods.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I thought that the toys that the brand name Toys
are Us was bought by someone else.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I thought it was Macy's. Yeah, I think they put
it in.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, so originally what toys are us? They try toys
is us? And what were doing?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Buddy? That didn't work so well?
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Pat don't take all of us in with you, okay,
moving on, pull over and let us get out.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Moving out, moving on. Yeah, just stop the car.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
You do what you want, Okay, Neil, I'm just putting,
you know, like when you go grocery shopping. I'm putting
a little rubber space between you and me. Okay. Elon
Musk taking name at the head of NASA. He's pissed
because I guess NASA said, hey, we may or may
not use SpaceX mass. I mean, it's a lucrative contract, obviously,
(24:14):
but in some of their projects transporting astronauts from the
Moon and surface again and all those things, I guess
the head of NASA made mentioned that they may or
may not. His name is Sean Duffy, and so now
Elon Musk, the whichest man in the world, started calling
him names because dummy sean dummy, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And he's duty pants too, bro. And yeah, the argument
is that but they have a contract. Well, they have
a contract, but he has reached the contract must now
because it's just onn't over.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Time, it's just delayed, delay, delayed.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
So Duffy is saying, Okay, we're thinking of going someplace.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Else where else is he gonna go, Oh, there's.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
A blue horizon, there's uh are.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They proven you can't do Boeing? No, we had problems
with that star liner.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
They did, they did, So I think they're going to
default because Musk is miles ahead of anybody else in
terms of technology, and sir, they are.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
But don't you love the fact that the only one
that can go past any sort of deadline and budget
is the government. We still have that high speed rail
debacle going on, and it's like it's going to cost
billions of billions more.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's okay, your government mostly when people get upset about that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
But what are you gonna do? I mean, can you
sue the government? Yeah, you sue the government, But.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
How are you still the higher speed rip?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah? How are you damage? Well, that's not going to happen.
I say, they're making an airbnb.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, they're in way, way too deep on that. All right,
I think we have time for one more.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Oh look, ma, no hands and no eyes either. General
Motors has unveiled new eyes off driving technology. Mary Barras
says it's going to be available starting in twenty twenty eight,
and then during this unveiling this week, she said, imagine
you step into your vehicle, you push a button, and
it drives you to the office. You catch up on
(26:03):
works and emails, or watch an episode of your favorite show.
The card drops you off. Then it goes to get
your dry cleaning, take out for dinner and comes back
in time so you can drive the kids to their
soccer game.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Blind double amputees are thrilled with this. They really are
looking at this GM vehicle.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Okay, another SpaceX story. This is a weird ass story
legal battle between SpaceX and that that dark game Cards
Against Humanity of your loves that game, but it's it's
if you live it bill Cards against Humanity.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, I know, just the against Humanity.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
But it's a pretty dark but fun uh card game there, Well,
it's this is a weird story. Lawsuit says that the
card company accuse SpaceX of ignoring posted no trespassing signs
while dumping construction material, gravel and other debris on the
land there.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And yeah it was over land.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yeah that they have in your Mexican New Mexico borders.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And it just just because SpaceX, it becomes huge news.
All right, one last one, Amy, We have to pull
this one out because this one is just too delicious
for words.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Just a pinch of salt didn't taste very sweet. Because
kids at a middle school in one of my little hometowns,
tiger To, Oregon, which is a suburb of Portland, say
that students got served pretzels with oven cleaner sprinkled on
them earlier this week. How could that happen? Because it
was granulated oven cleaner and most mistakenly applied to the pretzels.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Why is this the story? So what oven cleaner on
pretzels serve the kids? Come on, big deal?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
It was a few dead kids.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Oh yeah, I will say if that is the only
similarity between the two things, you fire everybody and you
relabel get a brother. There are those brother labelers are cheap.
Go in there and put poison salt. We're going to
take a break. We are done.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
This is kf I A M six forty. You've been
listening to the Bill Handle Show.
Speaker 1 (28:14):

You're listening to KPI AM six forty the Bill Handle
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. And they have
guards there. But have you ever been to the Louver
or any major museum. The guards sitting there and are
in a corner on a chair.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
There's not a lot of folding chair.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Now they're asleep.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
They're asleep because guards not only are issued uniforms, are
also issued ambient pills.
Speaker 4 (00:28):

I just well you have a just a ripper and
good time talking before the show, talking between and you
brought cams and I bought yeah it was that stonefire grill.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yes, last night.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Grill carry.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, I bought Stonefire grill for everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
And by the way, I just want to let you know.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I I paid for it.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well, I was a gift card, but still I could
have used it someplace else.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Thanks for breaking those stereotypes, buddy.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, As I always say, if you cannot get it
free or wholesale.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
You don't need it at all.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
There's the philosophy muscle took.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thank you Cone.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You notice I left you out of the mix in
terms of by talking beforehand and during the breaks.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Have you noticed that I noticed? Okay, just want to
way you know I said that on purpose. Thank you?
Oh you will.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well, he's kind of busy.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah. We were just talking about flying. Actually, uh, the
three of us in the.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
And Neil I mentioned, there's a story about what is
it long beach airplane landed on the beach, Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Honeyton Beach.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Kind of neat and just right there on the sand,
and it's some perfect shape. Usually when airplanes have emergency
landings are a mess. And Neil said, you've ever been.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Up in a little airplane? I go, yeah, yeah, a
bunch of times.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
And I said I soloed actually, and when I was
in my twenties, I was good.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
But we're talking about flying, spending time in the closet.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah exactly, And so I actually soloded because I was
gonna hit my pilot's license. And the reason I soloed,
and I'll give you the reason. I'm so out of
van eyes. I flew out of the Van Eys Airport
and when I started and my first solo, and this
is what I wanted to do. This was the reason.
Is the control tower. I was cleared, you know, Sessa
(02:51):
eight six four whatever. You're cleared for a takeoff, you're
cleared for takeoff, a touch and go, or you just
touch and then you take off again. And the controller
said that you are cleared. And I said, Roger Wilco,
over and out.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And how cool are you?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yeah, And there was just silence for just a second,
and the guy said, we don't say that.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
What's your vector? Victor?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Man, I have driven with you a million times, and
I am frightened that you've been in the plane at
your own control.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You know you'd ask because I'm an aviation buff. Yeah,
I'm not a pilot, because it's a lot of work
to fly.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You're looking around all the time, you're looking at the instruments,
you're looking at airspeed. You're not enjoying looking around and
just having a rip roaring good time, which is what
it's all about.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Anyway. Good morning, Neil, good morning to you. Good morning
Willie Woolfs. And there is the lovely Amy.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Good morning, Amy, good morning, And Dodgers play today. They do,
and we're not supposed to say the Dodgers are going
to win or how they are favored, because she does
not want it.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Jinxed exactly, all right, So Dodgers, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
That's exactly, they are going to kill the Blue Jays,
all right. Hi, Hi, Hello, Anne Cono, good morning, good morning,
good morning, Will.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Where's Will out there? Well, you're there, I'm here, I'm here.
I'm just not there.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I can't see I I can't see in the monitor
because Will's down the home little.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Actually I'm not. I'm at home because I'm a little
under the weather. But yeah, I knew you were coming in.
Nothing about that. Think about that under the weather.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Will points that out because we don't have an airplane anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Okay, so he's always under the weather. True. Yeah, that's deep.
So you're missing on on the carrot cake, Will, damn. Yeah,
damn that.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
But he's in his Chony's not chilling.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That's true. That's true. That's why I like broadcasting at home.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I a thirty foot commute and I just literally just
walk down the stairs going to the studio and going
I own shower. I'm still in my pja stept in
the summer where I go commando and the nards are
going back and forth and flying and hanging over the
Chair's fine, you know that?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Is it true?
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Will gives you custom report. It looks like the elevator
is clear. Right now, you can make way down from
the pisser.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
All right, you should be there any minute. Okay, let's
do it, guys.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Okay, on a Friday, We've got plenty of stuff to cover.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Handle on news with Amy Neil me Lead. Sorry, a.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
President, in a not surprising move, really got pissed off
the Ontario Canada, in the country of Canada are running
ads in the US quoting and actually running ads of
Ronald Reagan talking about traps said he did during a
(06:01):
speech while he was president, ripping into tariffs as to
how bad they are.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Canada is running those.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Trump is so angry with that that he has just
stopped all negotiations with Canada.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
We're done with Canada over an ad and he says
it's fake news.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
It is not. Ronald Reagan did say that is the
ad edited?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, yeah, to some extent, I'm reading all of I'm
reading the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yeah, I've seen those cuts. It's edited.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I think the premise doesn't stop. Ronald Reagan does not
say I love tariffs. So edited Trump is right fake news?
Not quite. But the bottom line is, don't don't piss
off this president, even if you are a country, don't
piss them off.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
And Canada still refuses to say sorry.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
So so who listen, who starts a fight with Canada?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Then Canada is just poking the bear too.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I mean exactly yes at this point, because they love bears,
a lot of bears, because they're going Canada.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's it's really interesting how after Trump said Canada should
be our fifty first state and you a bunch of
losers who poked for so the prime minister's Trump does Yeah,
the prime the Prime Minister of Canada. It was going
to lose. I mean, he was going to be wiped
out in the election. That saved him and the party
(07:34):
came back and strong, and they should do. What they
should do is think Trump, thank you, thank you, thank you,
you saved us.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
He is a magnet if your attracts or repels.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, all right, moving on.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No surprise. The twenty nine year old accused of starting
a fire early on New Year's Morning that a week
later erupted and turned into the deadly Palisades fire. Has
pleaded not guilty in an LA courtroom. He's facing three
federal charges. Jonathan Rinderneck used to live in Pacific Palisades.
(08:10):
They arrested him, remember, in Florida earlier this month, and
for these charges, he could face up to forty five
years in prison.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
And he's going to get them all too. I think
it's going to be consecutive and the jud's going.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
To give him max considering what happened well, and I
think it's going to be interesting to see. Is he
going to face charges for all the people who died
too That hasn't even come up Yeteah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And he's going to spend the rest of his life
in jail, and he's going to be ordered to pay restitution.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He didn't have any money, that is correct.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But the restitution is going to be a whopper here.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Now, the interesting story is that he lit the fire
and a week later it exploded.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, remember it was that one that started on New
Year's and it was like eight acres they put it out.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, the smolder they were obviously smoldering embers that reignited.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yeah, so you've got a Senate bill that came in.
It's been blowing, and this had to deal with paying
federal workers during the shutdown. So of course this seems
pretty much sliced down partisan lines here. But this is
about those that have to work in the government, that
(09:14):
just have to work and whether they are going to
be paid during this time they have to work during
the shutdown. Regardless what am I missing here?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I don't know why the Democrats would kill this bill.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I just don't get it, because it's about.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Paying workers that have to be paid, you know, having
nothing to do with the extension of Obamacare and bringing
back the extension the addition of Medicaid people.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
But you know, it's usually not what straightforward though bill,
it's something that's hidden. So Democrats are arguing that Johnson's
bill gave the White House Budget Director Russell Vought way
too much leeway on determining which workers would get paid
and which would not, and they felt they were going
to you know, yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
The Republicans are saying it's a clean bill, you know,
it's only what we have before. That's not true. There
are changes, not huge changes. I mean, we're not talking
about Obamacare extension. I mean, big, big stuff, but you
know it's it doesn't matter. I was listening to an
interview yesterday. If the Democrats say yes, the Republicans say no.
If the Democrats say the most yeah, if instead of listening,
(10:23):
if the Democrats simply say it's raining outside, no, no
it's not.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Okay. Don't you think that goes both ways?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yes? Okay, yeah, but that's the problem.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Yes, it's only a problem if it goes both Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, it absolutely goes both ways. If the Democrats say
it's raining, no, it's not. If the Republicans say it's raining, no,
it's not yet, unless they both would go outside and
get wet, then they agree.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No, they'll never agree.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
No, wonder, I'm just sweating.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, this one big. The NBA, the mafia, and millions
and millions in sports and poker bets. Portland Trailblazers head
coach and Hall of Famer Chauncey Billups, also Miami guard
heat Terry Rosier or Rosier, and former NBA journeyman Damon
(11:12):
Jones among thirty four people indicted. There's two separate federal
gambling investigations that they uncovered or announced yesterday, and they
involve players like fixing games, kind of like coming out
of a game early to affect some of the prop bets.
That's weird and which could affect millions and millions of
(11:34):
people because of all the online sports betting. And then
the other one was had to do with poker games
where they would like lure people into to play these
high stakes games by using celebrities and stuff. And then
they have X ray machines so they could see the
cards on the table. They have cards shufflers that can
(11:54):
sort of manipulate the cards, and the mafia is involved.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Do you know to an interview on CNN do CNN
radio sometimes coming in in the morning, Sorry about that,
George instead of George Nori. So Terry not a problem, Bill,
I know there was, so I don't know who it was.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Just take this pill, but it will feel better.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Were you saying talking about Terry Rosier who's a ballplayer
and he mentioned right after Rosier was talking to Venusians
Because this was just as George Norry was ending the
guy makes twenty six million dollars, What the hell is
he doing? You know, why would you do that to
make fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
None of that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I mean, I can see the the mafia guys who
are ripping people off. I can see former players maybe you.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Know no longer have the money.
Speaker 6 (12:47):
But come on, guys, well you remember when Winona Ryder
was cut stealing?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I mean, it's cut the man yet. Yeah, but
that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Maybe there's some maybe you know, I'll buy that's just
some compulsion there.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Maybe he got in with the mafia and they forced.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Him to do it. Maybe maybe the mob was all
over this place.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
All right, So more garbage comes out of Pacific Palisades.
Of course, when you have that much damage and that
much rebuilding to take place, people are going to have
pretty deep emotions tied into it. In this one deals
with Gladstone's longtime community staple. We've all been there, we
love it, and they're looking to rebuild and to do
(13:31):
something different. The plan calls for demolishing the existing twelve
thousand square foot seafood restaurant and replacing it with an
even larger one seventeen thy five hundred square foot but
contemporary dining space. You're looking at the celebrity chef Wolfgang
Puck going in there, Frank Airy, Frank Garry, Yeah, Walt
(13:53):
Disney Concert Hall, Googenheim Museum.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I know this is whos in Santa Monica. You know
that Frank Gary I did not know.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, he lives in He has a tin roof on
his house. Is a relatives small house. Uh, you know,
it's uh, you know, it's a Frank Garry kind of house.
The architecture, but the guy is world famous. And this
is so they're gonna go from a restaurant to a restaurant. Yeah,
but gladys Stone was falling apart the building. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
But you know, it's hard when you're emotionally attached to
these things. So neighbors, even though it was passed unanimously
to get the right to do this, you've got residents
saying that they're saddened by it. You know, you're gonna
they say they're gonna there's gonna be less parking and
things like that. The stuff that you can't really argue
about is, oh, it's going to cause disruption, you know what.
(14:40):
There's gonna be construction in that area for a long time. Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, this isn't the only thing built in that area.
It's just sad because Gladstone is so iconic.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
And it was approachable, and we don't know if this
one is going to be higher costs, so it's not
going to be approachable for locals or the.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Same talking talking about how cost amy, Let's do this
one and then we'll.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Take a break.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Okay, Oh, still high, but lo two three percent is
the new inflation numbers that were just reported Friday. They
were delayed by a week because of the government shutdown.
Economists had expected prices to go up three point one
percent in December. They rose three percent. Two point nine
(15:24):
percent was the year over year increase for August.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, but so well what the Fed wants to two
percent and we're not going in that right now. We're
not going in that direction two percent. So inflation is
hitting us. I mean, we things are more expensive. I
just bought the horrible sandwich shut down the hall at
our machine thing.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It was just some mischon decafetorium. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
The flavor, it's just.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Like the last I don't even know.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Looks like an eight salad cent Well that's what.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
They say, but who we I didn't know that eight
salad sandwich I egged were purple.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
They didn't have like raw.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
The point is that sandwich a couple of years ago
was three ninety five, it's five eighty six.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
Well, you know what, I was talking to Ann yesterday
about this, because she's a big Halloween person too and
decorates her house. We're talking about candy. We spent over
one hundred dollars on candy and that's our first hall.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah. There's no kid on the planet that's worth one
hundred dollars for candy. Give me a break.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
CBS has a buy one, get one for a buck, right.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Now, huh huh, and then you can make a mummy
out of the receipt. All right, we'll be exactly good point.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
That's a very good point.
Speaker 6 (16:34):
Contaminated meat from grocery store maybe causing your ut eyes.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Good night everybody. Yeah, that's that's fairly new. So this
is a.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Long standing belief, apparently that urinary tract infections are largely
caused by poor personal hygiene.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, and they enter the arethra.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
No great Arethra Franklin, Yeah, ureth for Franklin. Yeah, but
there's this news, just new research that suggests that many
cases may actually be caused by infectious e coal I
back Terrier from contaminated meat. I always thought it was
a UTI was from contaminated meat.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
WHOA, Okay, let's let's move on on that one.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Amy, you want to take that, Let's move on. Letitia James,
new York's attorney general, wants her case to be dismissed.
She's filed a notice. Her plan or her team plans
to ask for her indictment to be dismissed because of
the appointment of President Trump's handpicked prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan. The
(17:46):
two page brief also included a footnote referring to another
recent indictment against former FBI Director James the same thing,
who wants his case dismissed.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Both of them are arguing the same thing. In the
case of Letitia James, the attorney general for the Southern
District of Virginia.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I think Letitia James, she stayed in New York.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, no, I understand, but I think it was filed by
the Southern District if I'm not mistaken anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Who the previous one resed, refused to.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Indict, refused to go forward, and so Trump fired him
and replaced with her, who had never done.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
A prosecution in her life. She was his attorney.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But here's going to be the argument, even if President
Trump instituted it, certainly with Komi, and he said he
should be indicted, he should be tried, he should be
put in jail. I think the argument's going to be,
notwithstanding any of all that there is still enough here
to convict. There is still a crime here. I think
the courts are going to say that's right. I don't
(18:49):
think the case is going to be dismissed because Trump
going after her obviously for political reasons, and her being
guilty or not mutually exclusive. So I don't think. I
don't think it's gonna be dismissed. We'll see.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
It's that's a hard row to hoe or a hoe
to row.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Okay uh Alaska Airlines didn't they have some problems in
the past as well. They had some of the Boeing issues. Well,
they just had a new one yesterday. They experienced an
IT outage and it affected operations.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Obviously, they.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Dealt with massive headaches at the gates and people were
delayed and people were upset. I've never had that kind
of catastrophic experience.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, well, I've seen delayed, I've seen parts that were.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I've but I you know, I think going to your wedding,
as a matter of fact, there was some issue like
you had to be there thirty minutes to be proved
to leave out of England or something.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
No, some weird thing, some weird thing, but never knock.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
On way anyway. So they're grounded by this it issue issue.
I thought, I said, uti issue because we're doing it
because of the filthy meat, because of the filthy meat.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Would be filthy you, filthy, disgusting meat.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
All right, penny for your thoughts. You can't say that
much longer because apparently some retailers are running out of
pennies without enough pennies. According to a spokesperson for Quick Trip,
which is a convenience story, says stores can't make the
correct change for cash transactions. The Treasury Department officially stopped
making pennies earlier this year, which came after President Trump
(20:41):
told the department in February to stop making It costs
three cents to make a one sentence.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
He's right, Well, think about this, What a pain in
the ass those pennies. You go in and you get
change four cents because something goes five oh one or whatever.
You know, just round up or round down.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Done, Gonna have to do that to the five cent markers.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, of course they are. I mean, you know, pennies
make no sense.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
You know in England they are are called pins, you
know that named after Pence, I know, named after Mike.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
They he's a real.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Big here, he's really old.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, but anyway, they's it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
He didn't want to get rid of the penny, he said,
every penny is sacred. Okay, all right, So onto the Poultergeist.
The Poultergeist House in Seem Valley. You remember that to
quit essential eighties house. Yes, well, the owner of the
home that was featured in that nineteen eighty two blockbuster
(21:41):
movie Poltergeist.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Not the remake is available on Airbnb.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
What a sec? It imploded? Yes, it's just a hole
in the ground.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
So they hooked up a they hooked up a hose
in a pump, and it turned out it just needed
to be refilled.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Have you ever seen the special effects on what it?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yet?
Speaker 3 (21:59):
To Plowe that it was brilliant. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
So apparently the story goes that they were reading the
script and the special effects advisors are going through it
and they're like and it it spelled wrong.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
It should be exploded right and then no it implodes.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
Way you can rent, you can so, Yeah, and I
guess they've they put a bunch of furnishines and horror
films and nineteen eighties nostalgia in there there.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
Yeah, Ok, there's a lot.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
There's a haunted mansion, Disney themed one in Fullerton that
looks a maze balls and I think it goes for
six eight hundred dollars a night during this season.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yeah, but those are friendly ghosts.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Cast you it's got it. No, the michelin Man ghosts.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
They what did they call him, Neil?
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Happy haunts?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Happy haunts, Yeah, nine.
Speaker 6 (22:47):
Hundred and ninety nine happy haunts, exactly, different kind of ghost.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Good news if you don't want to grow up, get
it toys. R Us is reopening stores across the entry,
not a ton of them. Two of them are in California.
They say that they're going to open thirty new locations,
including a flagship store at the Camerio Premium outlets. Oh
that's a good outlet, and from Captain Obvious. They say
(23:14):
the news stores are designed as convenient, family friendly destinations,
no kidding. Lego Barbie, hot Wheels, Nerve, Paw, Patrol, all
your favorite goods.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I thought that the toys that the brand name Toys
are Us was bought by someone else.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I thought it was Macy's. Yeah, I think they put
it in.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yes, so originally what toys are us? They try toys
is us? And what were doing?
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Buddy? That didn't work so well?
Speaker 6 (23:40):
Pat don't take all of us in with you, okay,
moving on, pull over and let us get out.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Moving out, moving on. Yeah, just stop the car.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
You do what you want, Okay, Neil, I'm just putting,
you know, like when you go grocery shopping. I'm putting
a little rubber space between you and me. Okay. Elon
Musk taking name at the head of NASA. He's pissed
because I guess NASA said, hey, we may or may
not use SpaceX mass. I mean, it's a lucrative contract, obviously,
(24:14):
but in some of their projects transporting astronauts from the
Moon and surface again and all those things, I guess
the head of NASA made mentioned that they may or
may not. His name is Sean Duffy, and so now
Elon Musk, the whichest man in the world, started calling
him names because dummy sean dummy, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
And he's duty pants too, bro. And yeah, the argument
is that but they have a contract. Well, they have
a contract, but he has reached the contract must now
because it's just onn't over.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Time, it's just delayed, delay, delayed.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
So Duffy is saying, Okay, we're thinking of going someplace.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Else where else is he gonna go, Oh, there's.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
A blue horizon, there's uh are.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
They proven you can't do Boeing? No, we had problems
with that star liner.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
They did, they did, So I think they're going to
default because Musk is miles ahead of anybody else in
terms of technology, and sir, they are.
Speaker 6 (25:10):
But don't you love the fact that the only one
that can go past any sort of deadline and budget
is the government. We still have that high speed rail
debacle going on, and it's like it's going to cost
billions of billions more.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
That's okay, your government mostly when people get upset about that.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
But what are you gonna do? I mean, can you
sue the government? Yeah, you sue the government, But.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
How are you still the higher speed rip?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Yeah? How are you damage? Well, that's not going to happen.
I say, they're making an airbnb.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, they're in way, way too deep on that. All right,
I think we have time for one more.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Oh look, ma, no hands and no eyes either. General
Motors has unveiled new eyes off driving technology. Mary Barras
says it's going to be available starting in twenty twenty eight,
and then during this unveiling this week, she said, imagine
you step into your vehicle, you push a button, and
it drives you to the office. You catch up on
(26:03):
works and emails, or watch an episode of your favorite show.
The card drops you off. Then it goes to get
your dry cleaning, take out for dinner and comes back
in time so you can drive the kids to their
soccer game.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Blind double amputees are thrilled with this. They really are
looking at this GM vehicle.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Okay, another SpaceX story. This is a weird ass story
legal battle between SpaceX and that that dark game Cards
Against Humanity of your loves that game, but it's it's
if you live it bill Cards against Humanity.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, I know, just the against Humanity.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
But it's a pretty dark but fun uh card game there, Well,
it's this is a weird story. Lawsuit says that the
card company accuse SpaceX of ignoring posted no trespassing signs
while dumping construction material, gravel and other debris on the
land there.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And yeah it was over land.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yeah that they have in your Mexican New Mexico borders.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
And it just just because SpaceX, it becomes huge news.
All right, one last one, Amy, We have to pull
this one out because this one is just too delicious
for words.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Just a pinch of salt didn't taste very sweet. Because
kids at a middle school in one of my little hometowns,
tiger To, Oregon, which is a suburb of Portland, say
that students got served pretzels with oven cleaner sprinkled on
them earlier this week. How could that happen? Because it
was granulated oven cleaner and most mistakenly applied to the pretzels.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Why is this the story? So what oven cleaner on
pretzels serve the kids? Come on, big deal?
Speaker 2 (27:47):
It was a few dead kids.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Oh yeah, I will say if that is the only
similarity between the two things, you fire everybody and you
relabel get a brother. There are those brother labelers are cheap.
Go in there and put poison salt. We're going to
take a break. We are done.
