Yeah, I will have my master's in psychology and my
pH is gonna be in human sexuality. Masters. Y'all are
gonna have to call me doc these days.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's crass. I actually don't think people with a PhD
should be called doctor. I think they should just be
referred to as a PhD. Because it's too confusing now,
even though it's a doctorate.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, and I got. I grew up in a family
of doctors. One is a PhD in psychology, the other
one is a medical doctor.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So I it's just confusing. People don't know.

I'm like, which one? Yeah? Be more specific? Yeah, now
they have the third one now that they're gonna have
to add to the mix.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Because tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow we're jumping off a building.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, we're repelling. We'll be fine. Well, I'm twice your size. Listen,
if the rope can handle me, you're gonna be fine.
That's not what I'm worried about. We're still going down.
We're doing the same thing.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
We're repelling two hundred and fifty feet twenty five stories
down a building over the edge.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Why I do not like heights.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I don't either. I'm definitely afraid of heights, which is
you know why. It's a big deal, But it's for
important cause in rescue mission it is.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
We just talked to Mark Hood.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I heard that march great.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He's got that slight southern twang.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I think he's from Alabama.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, that's that track.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
He just started his job a week before the over
the event or over the Edge event last year, and
he got there, showed up and they went dude off
the building. Oh yeah, remember he got to go right.
It was sort of his inauguration into his very kind man.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I like him a lot. He's somebody I could hang
out with, but I love talking with him of his
passion for what they do at the Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
They're doing good work.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Is contagious. Indeed, alrighty and will good morning, Neil. I
could have done handle. I don't see where's well hand?
What's sure are you wearing?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I'm wearing a nice dark polo shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Actually, yes, no stripes.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Those stripes to be made fun of.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think you're a svelt, handsome man and Handle is
just a mini poop. Well that both are true. And
you know, someone called a Latino man called he was
making me laugh so hard yesterday and left to talk back,
and because I messed with Cono all the time, and
he was saying how He's like, hey, it's really funny
when you make fun of Kulo. But I'm like, no,
(04:30):
that's not it's Cono. It's con O. That's different. But
it was very, very funny. He was doing it on purpose,
but it was cracking me up. And and his back.
How are you dear?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You're you went on a road trip with your mom.
Aren't movies made about things like that?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Let's just say our air conditioning went out.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Oh no in a car.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Uh huh, oh gosh, right through the grape Vine.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Oh no.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We drove seven and a half hours out in the
air through Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, and then on the way
home we got rearanded.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So it's been good times.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
In the car. Yeah, I just listen. I just like
specific specific everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Okay, mm hmm, yep.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
What's that on the freeway or sitting out a red light?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
We're thrown into the car in front of us.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Somebody on their phone texting yes.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
And he actually admitted it because I got out of
the car and I was very upset and I.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Would not want to be on the other end of
an accident from you.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
No.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
My mom was like, okay, man, that's all right. Yeah,
and he goes, oh my.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
God, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I wasn't paying attention. I was on my phone. I
was like, hmm, yeah you were, weren't you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You'll wow?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
So your neck hurts, everything hurts?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What are all those bruises?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I know? Yeah, I can't add lacerations.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm using the technical terms. I've small lawsuit. All right, Well,
most every here and everybody's safe. Let's start Thursday, shall
we go? Head all the news leak story? So we
heard this yesterday, the horrible shooting. One detainee killed, two
(06:14):
others critically injured in the Dallas Ice facility. This comes
from Homeland Security. You remember we talked about it was
a shooter with a rifle that opened fire there from
a nearby roof, another one of those roof shootings, and
having like was it was another distance shooting, like two
hundred yards or something like that. The killer turned the
(06:38):
gun on himself, and the suspect was identified by law
enforcement official twenty nine year old Joshua John ja h En.
That's what I'm going with. They couldn't disclose much else
because of the investigation is still going on, but they
(06:58):
said that they did find a bullet casing. This is becoming,
you know, more familiar with at the scene that had
anti Ice written on it. So but I still go
with my initial response is that Democrats don't kill people.
(07:18):
Republicans don't kill people. Crazy people kill people, So regardless
of what's written on there and what they had in
their head, usually it's somebody with mental issues. All right,
Amy Kay.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Being suspended is good for business.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Apparently, the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live to ABC on
Tuesday Night nearly quadrupled the normal audience.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It gets what a difference of scandal makes.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Out, and that's in spite of only airing in about
eighty percent of its regular markets, so it averaged six
point twenty six million viewers. That's the largest tune in
for a regular episode of The Jimmy Kimmel Live Show
in the show's twenty two year history. And as I mentioned,
sixty six ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar in Sinclair preempted it, so.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
It wasn't even on there.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
And when you go over to social media, it's already
or actually YouTube it's already got twenty six million views,
which is a new.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Record for Yeah, for any of his clips. Well, good
for him. He had the opportunity to say and to
more people. More people absolutely watched his not apology but
clarification than the original apparent faux pas. So now all
of those Hollywood actors that were complaining and boycotting are
(08:42):
now asking Disney.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
To boycott them.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, or please take me off the air. I could
use the boost all right, back with more handle on
the news when we returned to KFI AM six forty
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Good Thursday Morning, Thoughtful
Thursday Here on the Bill Handles Show, Nil Savadra and
(09:04):
the Morning Crew hanging out with You today back to
handle on the news, Shall we go with Amy King
and me? So you have the newly appointed US Attorney's
gonna attempt to charge James Comy despite prosecutors finding no
probable cause. So Donald Trump is I mean, this is
a mess. If you like him, God bless you. Everyone
(09:29):
has the right to have their person. But I will
tell you something that rant on true social and I'm
not a Trump basher. There's things he does that I
think are legitimate, and there's things he does that I
think are illegitimate. Now I think all presidents do them,
(09:49):
I really do. I think all presidents do the things
that Trump is doing in many ways. The difference is
Trump talks about him like he comes out and says
things good, for good or bad. But in this case
it does seem like he's just spending time going after
people that don't like him or things like that. And
(10:12):
it's getting a little worse. The only thing worse than
a late night talk show host focusing on Trump is
Trump focusing on a late night talk show host. And
in this case, you've got Trump, his hand picked US
attorney in Virginia is planning task grand jury in the
coming days to indict former FBI director James Comey for
(10:35):
allegedly lying to Congress, So the prosecutors and investigators determined
that there was insufficient evidence charge him. It just these
things are equal to the wasted time garbage that we
deal with local politics. You know, the dancing around. You
(10:56):
think Gavin Newsom's bad. Holy hell, he just passes stuff
and talks about stuff that doesn't matter to anyone except
it's just like, look at me. I'm a super duper
liberal guy, and I'm doing super duper liberal things. First thing,
he says, I put a side twenty four million dollars
(11:16):
to fight Trump of our tax money. It's a so
called protect California. Well, why don't you take care of
the homeless problems, fill a couple of pot holes, do
things like that, and then we'll talk about it. So
the dancing around on this stuff is starting to get
a little dull.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
The who says noh. The World Health Organization's pushing back
against claims by the Trump administration that aceta menafin aceta
menifin used during pregnancy increases the risk of autism. The
agency said in a statement, Extensive research, including large scale
(11:57):
studies over the past decade has found no insistent association.
Some studies do show that there is an association. Trump,
alongside with senior health officials, including RFK Junior, issued the
warning about Aceta menifin. Trump said, taking thailandol is not good.
All pregnant women should talk to their doctors about limiting
the use of this medification medication.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
While medification medification.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Don't get that medification. It's going to make you misick.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You know when I said that, I was thinking that
when Trump was saying aceda menafin, he tried it a
few times and then just said thiland.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I'd say, yeah, who did stress that all medications should
be used with caution during pregnancy?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
To talk to your doctor. That's what it comes down to. Gosh,
there was something hovering. Oh, you realize that our first
notes about autism pre date thailandol by some time. Strangely enough,
go figure White House. Two particular agencies you get. The
(13:02):
White House Budget Office is instructing federal agencies to prepare
reduction enforced plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown.
This will specifically target employees who work for programs that
are not legally required to continue these shutdowns get obnoxious.
(13:27):
You have to work together to get these things done.
The reality is the government workers, the ones making the
decisions and holding things up, should be the ones that
work without pay during these times. It would go by
much quicker.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Remember when California did that. It had a balanced budget thing,
and if the if it wasn't balanced, then lawmakers stopped
getting paid. And then that actually happened and they lost
their minds. Yeah, and fought it and somehow got the
rule change so they could get paid or something.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, it's always it's you know, that's all you have
to do, and it would take care of it easyps.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Lemon squeeze, Lemon squeeze.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
In the midst of mass cancelations, Disney's hiking prices, Disney
notified Disney Plus and Hulu subscribers. I got the notification
that prices for many of the plans are going up
next month. The price hikes, of course, come amid the
fire storm over Jimmy Kimmel being pulled from ABC for
(14:29):
a couple of days and people started canceling subscriptions right
and left. So now the new prices are going to
be starting October twenty first, the Disney Plus with ads
is going to go up two bucks a month. The
premium that has no ads goes up three dollars a month.
Hulu's going up two bucks a month, and then the
bundles are also going up two or three.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Bucks a month.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You know, we don't watch I watch very little TV
these days, just time and the fact I have an
eight year old and the stuff I like watching is
not something I'd watched with my eight year old. But
we don't watch a lot of network television. And one
time I had it on, was watching the news or something,
and my son came down and sat next to me
and he's like, it went to a commercial. Breaks is
(15:14):
this is this what you called the commercial?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, he had never seen. He had never seen because
there were he'd heard us talk about it because some
of the YouTube like those those million dollar kids that
all they do is open toys. I tell them, I said,
we don't like them, not because the content. The content's fine,
it's that we don't like that they're pushing things on.
They have a commercial element. And we explained to him
(15:40):
that they're trying to sell you stuff and we don't
like you know that when you're innocently watching a show
and they're putting stuff in the show to make you
want to buy it. So he understood the concept of
what a commercial was, and of course when he's heard
my show, you know is what a commercial is. But
he had never seen one on TV. But Disney, God
(16:01):
bless you. So you remember when it started seven ninety
nine or six ninety nine, something like that.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I think my Apple TV was five ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Until just recently, we're probably spending more than we did
when we had the cable we all bitched about.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
At this point, it's just easier to, you know, whenever
like the season of Mandalorian comes out, just get it
for a month, watch the show, cancel.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
It can't do that with Disney for me, because Star
Wars and Marvel and great documentaries on Star Wars and Marvel.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Youk I love all of those things. Most of that
stuff's on YouTube, and if not, you can go and
just get your your fix by getting your membership back
and then canceling it when you're done.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'd rather turn off the water.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I'm with you, Neil, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Sorry, now they know they've got me. I shouldn't have
said that out loud Up.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Good Thursday Morning, Neil Savadra and the Morning Crew with
you today, going back to Handle on the News with
Amy King and Wah Pokemon. I love that listening to
the little Pokemon get me fired up there, But I
(17:29):
will tell you you don't. Pokemon does not want that
song associated with the Department of Homeland Security. So, and
this is not the only artist or music cut or
whatever that has played in these videos. Have you seen
these Department of Homeland Security videos. They're all like, pumping
you up, and look at what we're doing, and we're
(17:51):
kicking ass and taking names, right, jan Eto, We're kicking
ass and tacking names. And then they put this music
behind it, and the latest one is the Pokemon theme song.
And so the Pokemon company says, hey, we're not involved
in the Department of Homeland Security's latest video and uses
(18:13):
the franchise's theme song and anime footage during the whole thing,
and they're like, what the hell, So people are you know,
we're obviously getting ticked off at Pokemon and now social
media users are saying calling on Pokemon to take legal
action against the Department of Homeland Security. I don't know
how hard or simple that is. And then there was
(18:37):
another musician that I think that his music was used
and he's like, hey, my beliefs are pretty complicated and
more nuanced than you know, throwing people up against cars
and stuff like that. Don't use my music.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
How about a Trump third term? South Carolina Senator Lindsey
Graham says he'd like to see President Trump run for
a third term. He said, Trump twenty twenty eight. I
hope this never ends. He told that to Fox News
host Sean Hannity. Of course, the twenty second Amendment limits
a president to two terms.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh that pesky constitution.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, and he said he has said several times, no,
I'm not running. But then he jokes about it a lot,
and he says, you know a lot of people want
me to do it. Oh, I like working. And I
think he does it just to tick off the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
He likes to f with people.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yeah, he likes to poke the bear.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He he loves loves to make people angry. I don't
you know. And I think just don't give into it.
But I love when people pick and choose the amendments.
You know, you can say that the the you know,
people complain about the Second Amendment, and then the First
(19:47):
Amendment is super important and it's iron clad. And then
it's like, well, hey, if they're all iron clad, then
they're all iron clad until they're not. But everybody likes
to pick and shoes. Oh, it's an affront two Americans.
The first a metment is so important, and it is,
but then you have to assume, so it's the second
(20:08):
and all the rest. But I don't think he's going
to run again because well, it's against the constitution. So
a bathroom would cost around a million dollars, you know,
if you put it there at the bottom of a
hiking trail. So you have this this area that everybody loves.
(20:31):
They want to hike there Running Canyon. You've heard about this,
They're Running Canyon Park. Have you hiked it, Amy, No, Oh,
I've hiked it many many times. Anyone else, Buehler? Have
you in? Right? It's it's it's great, it's awesome. And
you have a beautiful view of the city. Yea, and
you see a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Of people and yeah, you know, it's wonderful and.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh you see famous people and it's you know, you know,
looking like just.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Recognize wide trail and like really hard areas and easy areas.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
For all different line and have some nice spots where
you can sit. I can't remember what that that little
bench area is right right, but it's very lovely. Well,
they want to put a a bathroom there and I
think it's like two stalls and then an outdoor sink,
and it's going to cost nine hundred and sixty thousand
dollars and people are like, what, First of all, the
(21:22):
porta potties you have there now are attracting drug use
and crime. And two they did the Running Canyon guardians
looked around to find estimates, and all the estimates they
were finding were around the five hundred thousand dollars range.
So they're like, how come this is costing almost twice
(21:44):
as much because government is shady. But so that's the
big hubbub going on there in Running Canyon right now.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
A million dollars for a toilet.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Come on, it must be a nice toilet.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It'd be a nice one.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, better come with one of them boo days those.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Bootis not everyone has to get the jab. Apparently, the
Pentagon has stepped back from a policy requiring all troops
get a flu shot every year.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
It's got some exemptions.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Now, reserve troops will need to be on active duty
for thirty days before they're required to get their annual
flu shot. Military also will no longer be paying for
reservists or National Guard members to get the vaccine on
their own time.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
At the Pentagon.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
The Flu Shot memo declared that going forward, the department
will conserve its resources by requiring seasonal flu vaccination for
service members only when doing so most directly contributes to readiness.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
They're not making everybody get a vaccine? There's but like.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Readiness, shouldn't they the military always be ready? Yeah, okay,
I want to make sure we're on the same page.
Millions of Californians getting a refund on their electric bill,
So your October electric bill coming could be reduced by
more than fifty dollars. That'd be nice, right. Every April
(23:12):
and October, there's millions of Californians that receive a utility
bill credit. Now this is through California Climate credit programs,
so the credit comes from the state cap and trade program,
which has been rebranded by the Way is Cap and invest,
which sets limits on greenhouse gas emissions, and it just
(23:37):
builds up billions in funding for the state's climate goals
by allowing large polluters to buy and sell unused emissions
allowances at quarterly auctions.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
You know, it would be nice, lower electric bills, lower
electric bills.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
You know what the thing is. You can't hide fat
in simplicity. You can't, So you have to complicate things
so that they can put hidden fees and deals, and
they have to complicate it. If it was simple, we
could all see simply as to where the money's going.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, my landlords this week sent out a notice to
the renters in the building and just said, hey, guys,
if you can conserve anything you can conserve, it'd be great,
and showed us a copy of the electric bill.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It was ginormous.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Wow, like the largest. He's like, this is the largest
electric bill we've ever seen. It's probably because it's so hot.
We've all had our little window air conditioners going, but
it was massive.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Wow. I don't typically look at those bills. We split
things up, so there's bills I see in bills I.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Don't probably better. You don't see your electric bill.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, but everyone's a while. I'll hear my wife in
the office at home. Go whoo anything I need to
know about? No o bye? All right, more handle on
the news when we return KFIM six forty Live everywhere
(25:09):
on the iHeartRadio. Good Thursday morning, Neil Savager in the
Morning crew with you Handles on vacation. We'll be back

like that didn't take you back.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You could tell when something was made in the seventies, right,
It just.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
In that small three inch speaker on the front of
a television or a radio. And you know, my wife
has a seventy what is it, a seventy one corvette,
a vintage corvette, And when I got in it, it
took me on. The smell, like because the way the
(25:51):
oil leaks and on those old cars or whatever. It
just and the smell of it, everything about it. And
it still has like the original radio in it. So
you listen, it's just everything about it makes you feel
like it just takes you back to the seventies.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Hey, that was a wonderful time.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, I loved growing up in the seventies. And eighties.
All right, Uh, america new top selling beer. So it's
my story? Oh is it?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh that's you. You stopped me. I was going to say,
America has the new top selling beer, and he's going
to tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
See what it is?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I was setting you up, buddy.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Move over Modello and bud Light, because michelob Ultra has
taken over the top spot the most bought beer in
the US. Of course, it doesn't really matter because michelob
Ultra is an Anheuser Busch product, and so is bud Light,
and so is Medello.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
But Modelo is a great beer. Yeah, I very much.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah. Anheuser Busch says part of the reason.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
That michelob Ultra is taking over is because it launched
michelob Ultra Zero, which is the non alcoholic version of
the beer.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What do you throw that back and get in a
fake fight?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I'm like, you don't have the real deal? Why waste
the calories? Yeah, that doesn't it's your wife fake pregnant.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I'm just saying I don't know what you do with
fake beer, but that's fine. United Airlines issued a groundstop
for departing flights in the US and Canada. This was
on Tuesday, and they did this because and this was
like the second time in two months, by the way,
the company has issued one of these orders. It emailed
(27:43):
a statement to USA today and United explained the experience.
They experienced this brief connectivity issue just before midnight Central time,
by the way, on Tuesday, but resume normal operations. It's
completely unclear at this point whether any lights were delayed
or canceled due to the incident. But like I said,
(28:05):
this is second time in two months. There's something going.
I don't know why, but it I still would take
a flight and have and not terribly worried, but something
is kind of breaking the the sheene of flying to me,
like the comfort and the I don't want to say fun.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Security almost the feeling of security. But it's like the
whole thing, the whole process doesn't seem well.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I'd rather have them do a ground stop and be
delayed a little bit than you know how something.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Absolutely, it's one of those.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
You don't want to do an air stop. That's the worst, exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
The air stops are pretty.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, the ground stops much safer.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Amy all right, Cosmo Kramer's coming back. Seinfeld star Michael
Richards has announced that he's going to do a limited
tour in California. Of course, he best known for playing
Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld World Domination.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Jerry.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Yeah, he pretty much disappeared after he made a while.
He had a racist rant on stage. He was responding
to a heckler. That was back in two thousand and six.
I interviewed him last year.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
I think about it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Next subdued. If I remember the interview.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
He was he was very different than Cosmo Kramer.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, and he didn't use the N word the whole time, right.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
No, not even once.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
I don't have to pull that interview out. Kind of interesting,
But he's going to do a tour and let's see,
limited California tour does not include a stop in Los Angeles.
But it's called an Evening of Conversations, questions and answers,
and it's going to have live dialogue with audiences.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That'll be interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Sounds hilarious.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It doesn't sound funny at all.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I'd miss funny comedy.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
And he was hysterical.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know, you could do sat tire and you could
talk about America's you know, foibles or whatever like George
Carlin and it's still funny. Oh, I just don't know
why we lost our funny. Okay. Lastly, American Airlines to
pay nine point six million to a passenger who had
a stroke in the flight.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Why is that American's fault?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Right, Well, I don't know. So this is a federal
jury that ruled this. They had to pay that nine
point six million in damages to this California man, and
the lawsuit accused the airline of negligence. So it's not
that he had it, but the negligence they believe resulted
in him being paralyzed. So that sucks. Strokes are scary,
(30:46):
like the thought of just talking and hanging out and
doing whatever and then all of a sudden half your
face slides off or whatever happens.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, well, so apparently what happened is that he was
having signs something was going on. He was started speaking
gibberish and couldn't pick up his phone, and his wife
alerted the crew, but then they kind of joked around
with him and cleared for takeoff, and that's why, so
they took off even though he was having signs of
(31:14):
a stroke.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Dave koons ABC's car Guy, I love him. He just
texts me, Dude, your wife has a nineteen seventy one corvette.
Is there a cool story behind it? Yeah, there's a
cool story, buddy. She likes corvettes. She saw a nineteen
seventy one. I mean, it's cute, but it needs a
paint job. But she doesn't care. She just likes it.
(31:40):
She's she's the one who likes cars. I don't care
about cars for the most part. I got a truck
and I love it, and it gets me to and
fro and it tow stuff and I love it. I
used to be a BMW driver. I love BMW's But
my wife likes that. She doesn't care about jewelry. She
doesn't care out flowers, being taken out to eat at
(32:02):
fancy restaurant, none of that. She doesn't care about clothes
or handbags or shoes, nothing. And she just wanted an
old corvette and it's cute, it's fun to and you
can hear it a mile away. All right, We will
be back with more, including I hate to say this,
(32:27):
but Don Lemon and I agreed on something and I
don't find him to be a very smart man personally,
Like I shouldn't say that I shouldn't say. That's not fair.
I don't know the man. He says dumb things. There's
a difference. You can still be smart and say stupid things. Alrighty,
we'll be back with more Neil Svader in the morning Crew.
(32:48):
This is KFI heard everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty
You're listening to KFI AM six forty the Bill Handles
show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
And now handle on the news. Ladies and gentlemen, here's

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Handle KFI AM six forty Life everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
(00:43):
Look at this. Guess who's at Thursday? Everybody we is
Happy Thursday morning to you, Nil, Savandra and the morning crew.
Just when you think we're all back, because Anne is
here and de la de la you walk again and
sam Zia is on the board instead of Kono.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Good morning Neil.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Well, hello Sam. How are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I'm fantastic, I'm bubbly today. Are you great? Everest Sam
is today?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah? So uh are you going for your second or
third PhD? What are you doing right now?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Just still working on the dissertation on number one. We'll
figure out the next PhD is going to be into
your your your dissertation. It comes all hard bound and
everything right when you're done. They I think they hardbind
it and all that. Yeah, leather bound everything. It's gonna wow,
be beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Wow. You know you could probably do that at the
FedEx or something and just save yourself the money and time.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I would like to. Actually, I prefer to do that,
but the school makes you pay extra.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I see, and you and you're studying like, uh, sex
and psychology.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I will have my master's in psychology and my
pH is gonna be in human sexuality. Masters. Y'all are
gonna have to call me doc these days.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's crass. I actually don't think people with a PhD
should be called doctor. I think they should just be
referred to as a PhD. Because it's too confusing now,
even though it's a doctorate.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah, and I got. I grew up in a family
of doctors. One is a PhD in psychology, the other
one is a medical doctor.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
So I it's just confusing. People don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I get phone calls. Can I talk to doctors? And
I'm like, which one? Yeah? Be more specific? Yeah, now
they have the third one now that they're gonna have
to add to the mix.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I do that to my wife when she calls. I goes,
this goes to your wife. I got to go, I say,
be more specific. She thinks it's can I sleep at
your house? Amy K King?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
How are you getting nervous?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Because tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow we're jumping off a building.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, we're repelling. We'll be fine. Well, I'm twice your size. Listen,
if the rope can handle me, you're gonna be fine.
That's not what I'm worried about. We're still going down.
We're doing the same thing.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
We're repelling two hundred and fifty feet twenty five stories
down a building over the edge.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Why I do not like heights.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I don't either. I'm definitely afraid of heights, which is
you know why. It's a big deal, But it's for
important cause in rescue mission it is.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
We just talked to Mark Hood.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I heard that march great.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He's got that slight southern twang.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I think he's from Alabama.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, that's that track.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
He just started his job a week before the over
the event or over the Edge event last year, and
he got there, showed up and they went dude off
the building. Oh yeah, remember he got to go right.
It was sort of his inauguration into his very kind man.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I like him a lot. He's somebody I could hang
out with, but I love talking with him of his
passion for what they do at the Union Rescue Mission.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
They're doing good work.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Is contagious. Indeed, alrighty and will good morning, Neil. I
could have done handle. I don't see where's well hand?
What's sure are you wearing?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I'm wearing a nice dark polo shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Actually, yes, no stripes.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Those stripes to be made fun of.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think you're a svelt, handsome man and Handle is
just a mini poop. Well that both are true. And
you know, someone called a Latino man called he was
making me laugh so hard yesterday and left to talk back,
and because I messed with Cono all the time, and
he was saying how He's like, hey, it's really funny
when you make fun of Kulo. But I'm like, no,
(04:30):
that's not it's Cono. It's con O. That's different. But
it was very, very funny. He was doing it on purpose,
but it was cracking me up. And and his back.
How are you dear?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You're you went on a road trip with your mom.
Aren't movies made about things like that?
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Let's just say our air conditioning went out.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Oh no in a car.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Uh huh, oh gosh, right through the grape Vine.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Oh no.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
We drove seven and a half hours out in the
air through Bakersfield, Fresno, Sacramento, and then on the way
home we got rearanded.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So it's been good times.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
In the car. Yeah, I just listen. I just like
specific specific everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Okay, mm hmm, yep.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
What's that on the freeway or sitting out a red light?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
We're thrown into the car in front of us.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Somebody on their phone texting yes.
Speaker 6 (05:25):
And he actually admitted it because I got out of
the car and I was very upset and I.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Would not want to be on the other end of
an accident from you.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
No.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
My mom was like, okay, man, that's all right. Yeah,
and he goes, oh my.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
God, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
I wasn't paying attention. I was on my phone. I
was like, hmm, yeah you were, weren't you.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You'll wow?
Speaker 3 (05:47):
So your neck hurts, everything hurts?
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
What are all those bruises?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I know? Yeah, I can't add lacerations.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I'm using the technical terms. I've small lawsuit. All right, Well,
most every here and everybody's safe. Let's start Thursday, shall
we go? Head all the news leak story? So we
heard this yesterday, the horrible shooting. One detainee killed, two
(06:14):
others critically injured in the Dallas Ice facility. This comes
from Homeland Security. You remember we talked about it was
a shooter with a rifle that opened fire there from
a nearby roof, another one of those roof shootings, and
having like was it was another distance shooting, like two
hundred yards or something like that. The killer turned the
(06:38):
gun on himself, and the suspect was identified by law
enforcement official twenty nine year old Joshua John ja h En.
That's what I'm going with. They couldn't disclose much else
because of the investigation is still going on, but they
(06:58):
said that they did find a bullet casing. This is becoming,
you know, more familiar with at the scene that had
anti Ice written on it. So but I still go
with my initial response is that Democrats don't kill people.
(07:18):
Republicans don't kill people. Crazy people kill people, So regardless
of what's written on there and what they had in
their head, usually it's somebody with mental issues. All right,
Amy Kay.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Being suspended is good for business.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Apparently, the return of Jimmy Kimmel Live to ABC on
Tuesday Night nearly quadrupled the normal audience.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It gets what a difference of scandal makes.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Out, and that's in spite of only airing in about
eighty percent of its regular markets, so it averaged six
point twenty six million viewers. That's the largest tune in
for a regular episode of The Jimmy Kimmel Live Show
in the show's twenty two year history. And as I mentioned,
sixty six ABC affiliates owned by Nexstar in Sinclair preempted it, so.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
It wasn't even on there.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
And when you go over to social media, it's already
or actually YouTube it's already got twenty six million views,
which is a new.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Record for Yeah, for any of his clips. Well, good
for him. He had the opportunity to say and to
more people. More people absolutely watched his not apology but
clarification than the original apparent faux pas. So now all
of those Hollywood actors that were complaining and boycotting are
(08:42):
now asking Disney.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
To boycott them.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, or please take me off the air. I could
use the boost all right, back with more handle on
the news when we returned to KFI AM six forty
Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Good Thursday Morning, Thoughtful
Thursday Here on the Bill Handles Show, Nil Savadra and
(09:04):
the Morning Crew hanging out with You today back to
handle on the news, Shall we go with Amy King
and me? So you have the newly appointed US Attorney's
gonna attempt to charge James Comy despite prosecutors finding no
probable cause. So Donald Trump is I mean, this is
a mess. If you like him, God bless you. Everyone
(09:29):
has the right to have their person. But I will
tell you something that rant on true social and I'm
not a Trump basher. There's things he does that I
think are legitimate, and there's things he does that I
think are illegitimate. Now I think all presidents do them,
(09:49):
I really do. I think all presidents do the things
that Trump is doing in many ways. The difference is
Trump talks about him like he comes out and says
things good, for good or bad. But in this case
it does seem like he's just spending time going after
people that don't like him or things like that. And
(10:12):
it's getting a little worse. The only thing worse than
a late night talk show host focusing on Trump is
Trump focusing on a late night talk show host. And
in this case, you've got Trump, his hand picked US
attorney in Virginia is planning task grand jury in the
coming days to indict former FBI director James Comey for
(10:35):
allegedly lying to Congress, So the prosecutors and investigators determined
that there was insufficient evidence charge him. It just these
things are equal to the wasted time garbage that we
deal with local politics. You know, the dancing around. You
(10:56):
think Gavin Newsom's bad. Holy hell, he just passes stuff
and talks about stuff that doesn't matter to anyone except
it's just like, look at me. I'm a super duper
liberal guy, and I'm doing super duper liberal things. First thing,
he says, I put a side twenty four million dollars
(11:16):
to fight Trump of our tax money. It's a so
called protect California. Well, why don't you take care of
the homeless problems, fill a couple of pot holes, do
things like that, and then we'll talk about it. So
the dancing around on this stuff is starting to get
a little dull.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
The who says noh. The World Health Organization's pushing back
against claims by the Trump administration that aceta menafin aceta
menifin used during pregnancy increases the risk of autism. The
agency said in a statement, Extensive research, including large scale
(11:57):
studies over the past decade has found no insistent association.
Some studies do show that there is an association. Trump,
alongside with senior health officials, including RFK Junior, issued the
warning about Aceta menifin. Trump said, taking thailandol is not good.
All pregnant women should talk to their doctors about limiting
the use of this medification medication.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
While medification medification.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Don't get that medification. It's going to make you misick.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
You know when I said that, I was thinking that
when Trump was saying aceda menafin, he tried it a
few times and then just said thiland.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
I'd say, yeah, who did stress that all medications should
be used with caution during pregnancy?
Speaker 1 (12:39):
To talk to your doctor. That's what it comes down to. Gosh,
there was something hovering. Oh, you realize that our first
notes about autism pre date thailandol by some time. Strangely enough,
go figure White House. Two particular agencies you get. The
(13:02):
White House Budget Office is instructing federal agencies to prepare
reduction enforced plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown.
This will specifically target employees who work for programs that
are not legally required to continue these shutdowns get obnoxious.
(13:27):
You have to work together to get these things done.
The reality is the government workers, the ones making the
decisions and holding things up, should be the ones that
work without pay during these times. It would go by
much quicker.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Remember when California did that. It had a balanced budget thing,
and if the if it wasn't balanced, then lawmakers stopped
getting paid. And then that actually happened and they lost
their minds. Yeah, and fought it and somehow got the
rule change so they could get paid or something.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, it's always it's you know, that's all you have
to do, and it would take care of it easyps.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Lemon squeeze, Lemon squeeze.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
In the midst of mass cancelations, Disney's hiking prices, Disney
notified Disney Plus and Hulu subscribers. I got the notification
that prices for many of the plans are going up
next month. The price hikes, of course, come amid the
fire storm over Jimmy Kimmel being pulled from ABC for
(14:29):
a couple of days and people started canceling subscriptions right
and left. So now the new prices are going to
be starting October twenty first, the Disney Plus with ads
is going to go up two bucks a month. The
premium that has no ads goes up three dollars a month.
Hulu's going up two bucks a month, and then the
bundles are also going up two or three.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Bucks a month.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You know, we don't watch I watch very little TV
these days, just time and the fact I have an
eight year old and the stuff I like watching is
not something I'd watched with my eight year old. But
we don't watch a lot of network television. And one
time I had it on, was watching the news or something,
and my son came down and sat next to me
and he's like, it went to a commercial. Breaks is
(15:14):
this is this what you called the commercial?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Yeah, he had never seen. He had never seen because
there were he'd heard us talk about it because some
of the YouTube like those those million dollar kids that
all they do is open toys. I tell them, I said,
we don't like them, not because the content. The content's fine,
it's that we don't like that they're pushing things on.
They have a commercial element. And we explained to him
(15:40):
that they're trying to sell you stuff and we don't
like you know that when you're innocently watching a show
and they're putting stuff in the show to make you
want to buy it. So he understood the concept of
what a commercial was, and of course when he's heard
my show, you know is what a commercial is. But
he had never seen one on TV. But Disney, God
(16:01):
bless you. So you remember when it started seven ninety
nine or six ninety nine, something like that.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I think my Apple TV was five ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Until just recently, we're probably spending more than we did
when we had the cable we all bitched about.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
At this point, it's just easier to, you know, whenever
like the season of Mandalorian comes out, just get it
for a month, watch the show, cancel.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
It can't do that with Disney for me, because Star
Wars and Marvel and great documentaries on Star Wars and Marvel.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Youk I love all of those things. Most of that
stuff's on YouTube, and if not, you can go and
just get your your fix by getting your membership back
and then canceling it when you're done.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I'd rather turn off the water.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I'm with you, Neil, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Sorry, now they know they've got me. I shouldn't have
said that out loud Up.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Good Thursday Morning, Neil Savadra and the Morning Crew with
you today, going back to Handle on the News with
Amy King and Wah Pokemon. I love that listening to
the little Pokemon get me fired up there, But I
(17:29):
will tell you you don't. Pokemon does not want that
song associated with the Department of Homeland Security. So, and
this is not the only artist or music cut or
whatever that has played in these videos. Have you seen
these Department of Homeland Security videos. They're all like, pumping
you up, and look at what we're doing, and we're
(17:51):
kicking ass and taking names, right, jan Eto, We're kicking
ass and tacking names. And then they put this music
behind it, and the latest one is the Pokemon theme song.
And so the Pokemon company says, hey, we're not involved
in the Department of Homeland Security's latest video and uses
(18:13):
the franchise's theme song and anime footage during the whole thing,
and they're like, what the hell, So people are you know,
we're obviously getting ticked off at Pokemon and now social
media users are saying calling on Pokemon to take legal
action against the Department of Homeland Security. I don't know
how hard or simple that is. And then there was
(18:37):
another musician that I think that his music was used
and he's like, hey, my beliefs are pretty complicated and
more nuanced than you know, throwing people up against cars
and stuff like that. Don't use my music.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
How about a Trump third term? South Carolina Senator Lindsey
Graham says he'd like to see President Trump run for
a third term. He said, Trump twenty twenty eight. I
hope this never ends. He told that to Fox News
host Sean Hannity. Of course, the twenty second Amendment limits
a president to two terms.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Oh that pesky constitution.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, and he said he has said several times, no,
I'm not running. But then he jokes about it a lot,
and he says, you know a lot of people want
me to do it. Oh, I like working. And I
think he does it just to tick off the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
He likes to f with people.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Yeah, he likes to poke the bear.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
He he loves loves to make people angry. I don't
you know. And I think just don't give into it.
But I love when people pick and choose the amendments.
You know, you can say that the the you know,
people complain about the Second Amendment, and then the First
(19:47):
Amendment is super important and it's iron clad. And then
it's like, well, hey, if they're all iron clad, then
they're all iron clad until they're not. But everybody likes
to pick and shoes. Oh, it's an affront two Americans.
The first a metment is so important, and it is,
but then you have to assume, so it's the second
(20:08):
and all the rest. But I don't think he's going
to run again because well, it's against the constitution. So
a bathroom would cost around a million dollars, you know,
if you put it there at the bottom of a
hiking trail. So you have this this area that everybody loves.
(20:31):
They want to hike there Running Canyon. You've heard about this,
They're Running Canyon Park. Have you hiked it, Amy, No, Oh,
I've hiked it many many times. Anyone else, Buehler? Have
you in? Right? It's it's it's great, it's awesome. And
you have a beautiful view of the city. Yea, and
you see a lot.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Of people and yeah, you know, it's wonderful and.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh you see famous people and it's you know, you know,
looking like just.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Recognize wide trail and like really hard areas and easy areas.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
For all different line and have some nice spots where
you can sit. I can't remember what that that little
bench area is right right, but it's very lovely. Well,
they want to put a a bathroom there and I
think it's like two stalls and then an outdoor sink,
and it's going to cost nine hundred and sixty thousand
dollars and people are like, what, First of all, the
(21:22):
porta potties you have there now are attracting drug use
and crime. And two they did the Running Canyon guardians
looked around to find estimates, and all the estimates they
were finding were around the five hundred thousand dollars range.
So they're like, how come this is costing almost twice
(21:44):
as much because government is shady. But so that's the
big hubbub going on there in Running Canyon right now.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
A million dollars for a toilet.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Come on, it must be a nice toilet.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
It'd be a nice one.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, better come with one of them boo days those.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Bootis not everyone has to get the jab. Apparently, the
Pentagon has stepped back from a policy requiring all troops
get a flu shot every year.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
It's got some exemptions.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Now, reserve troops will need to be on active duty
for thirty days before they're required to get their annual
flu shot. Military also will no longer be paying for
reservists or National Guard members to get the vaccine on
their own time.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
At the Pentagon.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
The Flu Shot memo declared that going forward, the department
will conserve its resources by requiring seasonal flu vaccination for
service members only when doing so most directly contributes to readiness.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
What does that mean?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
They're not making everybody get a vaccine? There's but like.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Readiness, shouldn't they the military always be ready? Yeah, okay,
I want to make sure we're on the same page.
Millions of Californians getting a refund on their electric bill,
So your October electric bill coming could be reduced by
more than fifty dollars. That'd be nice, right. Every April
(23:12):
and October, there's millions of Californians that receive a utility
bill credit. Now this is through California Climate credit programs,
so the credit comes from the state cap and trade program,
which has been rebranded by the Way is Cap and invest,
which sets limits on greenhouse gas emissions, and it just
(23:37):
builds up billions in funding for the state's climate goals
by allowing large polluters to buy and sell unused emissions
allowances at quarterly auctions.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
You know, it would be nice, lower electric bills, lower
electric bills.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
You know what the thing is. You can't hide fat
in simplicity. You can't, So you have to complicate things
so that they can put hidden fees and deals, and
they have to complicate it. If it was simple, we
could all see simply as to where the money's going.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Yeah, my landlords this week sent out a notice to
the renters in the building and just said, hey, guys,
if you can conserve anything you can conserve, it'd be great,
and showed us a copy of the electric bill.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
It was ginormous.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Wow, like the largest. He's like, this is the largest
electric bill we've ever seen. It's probably because it's so hot.
We've all had our little window air conditioners going, but
it was massive.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Wow. I don't typically look at those bills. We split
things up, so there's bills I see in bills I.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Don't probably better. You don't see your electric bill.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, but everyone's a while. I'll hear my wife in
the office at home. Go whoo anything I need to
know about? No o bye? All right, more handle on
the news when we return KFIM six forty Live everywhere
(25:09):
on the iHeartRadio. Good Thursday morning, Neil Savager in the
Morning crew with you Handles on vacation. We'll be back
on the Monday. Just the sound of those old spot
like that didn't take you back.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You could tell when something was made in the seventies, right,
It just.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
In that small three inch speaker on the front of
a television or a radio. And you know, my wife
has a seventy what is it, a seventy one corvette,
a vintage corvette, And when I got in it, it
took me on. The smell, like because the way the
(25:51):
oil leaks and on those old cars or whatever. It
just and the smell of it, everything about it. And
it still has like the original radio in it. So
you listen, it's just everything about it makes you feel
like it just takes you back to the seventies.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Hey, that was a wonderful time.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, I loved growing up in the seventies. And eighties.
All right, Uh, america new top selling beer. So it's
my story? Oh is it?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh that's you. You stopped me. I was going to say,
America has the new top selling beer, and he's going
to tell you about it.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
See what it is?
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah, very good.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
I was setting you up, buddy.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Move over Modello and bud Light, because michelob Ultra has
taken over the top spot the most bought beer in
the US. Of course, it doesn't really matter because michelob
Ultra is an Anheuser Busch product, and so is bud Light,
and so is Medello.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
But Modelo is a great beer. Yeah, I very much.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Yeah. Anheuser Busch says part of the reason.
Speaker 5 (26:59):
That michelob Ultra is taking over is because it launched
michelob Ultra Zero, which is the non alcoholic version of
the beer.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
What do you throw that back and get in a
fake fight?
Speaker 4 (27:12):
I guess.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I'm like, you don't have the real deal? Why waste
the calories? Yeah, that doesn't it's your wife fake pregnant.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I'm just saying I don't know what you do with
fake beer, but that's fine. United Airlines issued a groundstop
for departing flights in the US and Canada. This was
on Tuesday, and they did this because and this was
like the second time in two months, by the way,
the company has issued one of these orders. It emailed
(27:43):
a statement to USA today and United explained the experience.
They experienced this brief connectivity issue just before midnight Central time,
by the way, on Tuesday, but resume normal operations. It's
completely unclear at this point whether any lights were delayed
or canceled due to the incident. But like I said,
(28:05):
this is second time in two months. There's something going.
I don't know why, but it I still would take
a flight and have and not terribly worried, but something
is kind of breaking the the sheene of flying to me,
like the comfort and the I don't want to say fun.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Security almost the feeling of security. But it's like the
whole thing, the whole process doesn't seem well.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
I'd rather have them do a ground stop and be
delayed a little bit than you know how something.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Absolutely, it's one of those.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
You don't want to do an air stop. That's the worst, exactly.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
The air stops are pretty.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Yeah, the ground stops much safer.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Amy all right, Cosmo Kramer's coming back. Seinfeld star Michael
Richards has announced that he's going to do a limited
tour in California. Of course, he best known for playing
Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld World Domination.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Jerry.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
Yeah, he pretty much disappeared after he made a while.
He had a racist rant on stage. He was responding
to a heckler. That was back in two thousand and six.
I interviewed him last year.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
I think about it.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Next subdued. If I remember the interview.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
He was he was very different than Cosmo Kramer.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, and he didn't use the N word the whole time, right.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
No, not even once.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
I don't have to pull that interview out. Kind of interesting,
But he's going to do a tour and let's see,
limited California tour does not include a stop in Los Angeles.
But it's called an Evening of Conversations, questions and answers,
and it's going to have live dialogue with audiences.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That'll be interesting.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Sounds hilarious.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It doesn't sound funny at all.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I'd miss funny comedy.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
And he was hysterical.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know, you could do sat tire and you could
talk about America's you know, foibles or whatever like George
Carlin and it's still funny. Oh, I just don't know
why we lost our funny. Okay. Lastly, American Airlines to
pay nine point six million to a passenger who had
a stroke in the flight.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Why is that American's fault?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Right, Well, I don't know. So this is a federal
jury that ruled this. They had to pay that nine
point six million in damages to this California man, and
the lawsuit accused the airline of negligence. So it's not
that he had it, but the negligence they believe resulted
in him being paralyzed. So that sucks. Strokes are scary,
(30:46):
like the thought of just talking and hanging out and
doing whatever and then all of a sudden half your
face slides off or whatever happens.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, well, so apparently what happened is that he was
having signs something was going on. He was started speaking
gibberish and couldn't pick up his phone, and his wife
alerted the crew, but then they kind of joked around
with him and cleared for takeoff, and that's why, so
they took off even though he was having signs of
(31:14):
a stroke.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
Dave koons ABC's car Guy, I love him. He just
texts me, Dude, your wife has a nineteen seventy one corvette.
Is there a cool story behind it? Yeah, there's a
cool story, buddy. She likes corvettes. She saw a nineteen
seventy one. I mean, it's cute, but it needs a
paint job. But she doesn't care. She just likes it.
(31:40):
She's she's the one who likes cars. I don't care
about cars for the most part. I got a truck
and I love it, and it gets me to and
fro and it tow stuff and I love it. I
used to be a BMW driver. I love BMW's But
my wife likes that. She doesn't care about jewelry. She
doesn't care out flowers, being taken out to eat at
(32:02):
fancy restaurant, none of that. She doesn't care about clothes
or handbags or shoes, nothing. And she just wanted an
old corvette and it's cute, it's fun to and you
can hear it a mile away. All right, We will
be back with more, including I hate to say this,
(32:27):
but Don Lemon and I agreed on something and I
don't find him to be a very smart man personally,
Like I shouldn't say that I shouldn't say. That's not fair.
I don't know the man. He says dumb things. There's
a difference. You can still be smart and say stupid things. Alrighty,
we'll be back with more Neil Svader in the morning Crew.
(32:48):
This is KFI heard everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
