Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
If he's a.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Lasting I love it? Is that setser Brian Sezter? Yes,
no Straight Cats? Oh is that straight with the stray Cats?
Or is that just Brian? Not Straight Cats? Okay, I'd
love me some Stray Cats. I just wasn't sure if
that was just him or not. I think they're going

(00:27):
on tour or are on tour right now. Actually, I've
seen them live a couple of times, and I've seen
him solo. Fantastic, fantastic band and only get better with
h KFIM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Neil Savedra here with the morning crew. Handle has the

(00:49):
day off. We labor, he doesn't. That's just like having
him here. It's just a kid.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
October.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
They're on the road in October. Straight Cats? Thank you?
And did they have any dates here in La or
in southern California anywhere? Because I wouldn't see the Straightcats? No? Well, okay,
have you ever seen them live? They're great? They're absolutely great.

(01:22):
Alrighty onto Classic Cars Assembly Bill. California Assembly bill would
be seven to one to two got knocked down so
California Assembly Appropriations Committee killed what they were referring to
as Leno's Law, of referring to Jay Leno and all

(01:43):
of his classic cars. It aimed to give classic car
owners like him a pass from smog requirements. This makes
so much sense that to have a classification for certain
classic cars so they're not they're not going to be

(02:04):
driven constantly. Obviously, if things are slowly moving towards EV
and they're talking about which is not going to happen
twenty thirty six or whatever in a decade that we're
going to supposed to have everyone's supposed to have EV's.
I get what you're trying to do, but there's going
to be classic cars and to have them go through

(02:27):
a modern day I don't know, test system tests the
same way as modern cars do is stupid. Collecting these vehicles,
showing these vehicles and keeping them in their purest state

(02:48):
is part of what collecting is. And having to modify
them is a bizarre thing. And even worse is you
know you've got this powerful Democratic chairperson Buffy Wicks, Assembly

(03:09):
member of Buffy Wicks. Of course she does of Oakland.
She didn't provide a reason for killing the bill again,
no argumentation. Now here's the reason we do it for you,
We got to do it for others, Or we're worried
that more cars are going to have whatever. You know,

(03:30):
what if that's the concern, throw a tax on it
if you want so. Yeah, you have to have it
registered with a special registration, and it has to be
driven less than this much mileage. Whatever it is. I
get it. If there's something you want to throw in
there to say, hey, we don't want everybody using it

(03:51):
as an excuse to keep these old cars that are unsmogged.
You know, it's I always say that the when people
get so attached to the law that they forget what
the law is protecting. There's a problem like, for instance,
if the speed limit, speed limit is there to do

(04:13):
what to keep you at that speed? No, it's there
to keep you at that speed for a reason. What's
the reason, just protect life that if you go too fast,
you can get an accident, you can cause harm to
another person. So heaven forbid, something's happening to my wife
or another person I find on the side of the
road and I got to take them to the hospital.

(04:35):
I'm not going to obey the speed limit. I'm going
to do everything I can to get them as quickly
as possible. And you know who else would law enforcement, firefighters,
ambulance drivers Because the meaning of the law was to
protect life. So if you kill life off to protect

(04:56):
the law, you're an idiot. So if they're in this
particular case, if the law is to smog so that
we protect the air, then okay, find a way to
do that and not have them smog by saying you
have to you can only drive it a certain amount
of miles a year or whatever it is. But people

(05:16):
don't want to think it's just easier to just go no.
So it was announced with a bunch of other bills,
no real fanfare, and at the committee she was asked
by this is what gets me men. So reporters go

(05:43):
up to her, Buffy Wicks of Oakland and said, why'd
you kill the measure? And she goes, after the hearing
the aster, she goes, I'll have to go back and look,
I can't remember, so that though, that's that's those are

(06:04):
the politicians we're dealing with, you know. But but Jay
Leno is a thinker. If you've ever heard him, I've
had the pleasure of medium here at station. He's come
in a couple of times. Seems like a nice man.
I don't know, but he seems like a thinker. He
seems like a reasonable person. And they're not popular right
now because people assume that they're picking sides, and so

(06:30):
I don't know. I think it's an emotional thing and
I don't think it's a reasonable thing. So I don't
know what happens now, but that kind of sucks. Kind
of sucks. Those little nitpicking getting into everybody's life. Things
cause more problems than they're ever going to do good
with anything. It's not going to protect the you know,

(06:53):
the O zone. It's not going to protect smog. It's
not there's not enough of it out there for that.
So we shall see. That's the squeakiest damn microphone stand
in the whole wide world.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
By the way, all the streetcats are going to be
in Burbank. What where at the Ruth Finley person Theater?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Person Theater so people can go oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, yeah, oh wait where is that Luther Burbank Center
for the Arts, which is in Santa Rosa?

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Sorry, Oh damnits last?

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
How far is Santa Center?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
That is confusing? Though, why wouldn't we?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, I know, it's like those companies that are like,
welcome to Beverly Hills Massage in Santa Anna. Yeah, Neil
Savadra in the Morning Crew on this Labor Day morn
KF I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

(07:52):
Neil Savadra and the Morning Crew handles taking the day off.
Happy Labor Day to you. More and more of these
or the Internet, the interwebs and all the social media
cracked me up because they feel like like they're a
power team, and sometimes they really are a couple. Uh

(08:17):
just too like back to back where a kid was
like robbed of as signed hat. We'll talk about that,
the Polish tennis star there and then uh, and then
recently I saw someone catch I don't know what game
it was, but some guy with a beard. He looked
Latino to me, so because that always hits, you always go,
don't don't be that guy, don't be that guy. I

(08:40):
just oh, node the whole race and as he grabbed
a ball at a sporting event from an old man,
not an old old man, but an older man, and
it just it looked it's tacky, is selfish, it's weird
and it never goes as well, like they see you.

(09:04):
I'm gonna I'm gonna give a blanket statement here. When
you're at a sporting event or a concert and you
think that no one sees you, it's like when you
pick your nose in the car during traffic. We all
see you. All of us do. So if you're was

(09:26):
it a coldplay or something, If you're at a concert
with your mistress, allegedly, people are gonna see you. If
you steal a ball from a person, they're gonna see you.
Now you have the Polish tennis player. He met the

(09:47):
young fan who was and I've seen this a bazillion times,
and the kids standing right there, and he signs a
hat and he goes to give it to him and
some guy grabs it from him. And it's a d move, absolutely,
And so when it goes viral because he's moving down

(10:09):
the line signing things for people. So the boy there
in the crowd at the US Open, it goes viral.
And how do you pronounce this guy's name? By the way,
Amy Camill.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Tennis names are impossible.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Okay, Polish tennis player, that's what we're gonna call him.
He shared two clips on his official Instagram account where
he shook hands with the two boys and presented them
with gifts, including a cap that was similar to the
one handed to the boy and then swiftly taken off
of him and they had this nice time. So now
he gets this one on one and good on this

(10:47):
tennis Polish tennis player. He's got a name that I
can't pronounce, unfortunately, and I'm not a big tennis guy.
So it turns out versions of the social media clip
people will criticizing the man. Multiple media outlets have since
named him he's got a pull. He's a Polish ceo.

(11:07):
I can't pronounce his name either, for a paving company.
And I saw a lot of stuff that I'm not
going to say because I don't know if it's real
or not. But there was a lot of back and forth,
and some people were attributing, you know, some quotes to him,

(11:28):
like saying, hey, listen you know, first come, first serve
type thing or something like that. But now this guy's
getting dxed. The ceo, this Polish ceo is getting docked.
People are pissed off because they can find you. Now,
it's not hard to find you. People when you exist

(11:49):
on the Internet and you have a face, people will
find you and they will they will run you through
the mud and your name and everything because you're being
a jerk for no reason to a little boy, which
makes no sense. All right, story out of Washington Post.
You find this on the website as well. Had me

(12:13):
laughing because you know, Bill says this all the time.
There's a day for everything. Every single day has a secular,
non religious, well same thing holiday that you can celebrate. Now,
there's a bunch of food days. I looked them up
every now and again for the Forkport and goufa at
how bizarre some of them are. But there is literally

(12:34):
a day for everything. So Washington Post came together with
some of their writers and they ranked fifty seven hundred
holidays from Labor Day to World Dragula Day, and you know,
they wanted to see how many of them there were
out there. And it turns out the Department of Data

(12:55):
compiled the list of yeah, almost six thousand non religious
holidays observed in America, covering every corner of the calendar
in every culture. So they were looking at some of
the people that you know work there at Washington Post,
and one of the guys. Kevin was born on National
Perogi Day, which is October eighth. If you celebrate National

(13:19):
Folding Laundry Day March thirtieth, bye, I'll not be around
for that day. Yeah, folding laundry. I don't know what
it is about it. And you know, and I print
T shirts like one of the things that I do
when I'm not on radio. I like making things, and

(13:40):
T shirts suck to fold. I even have special folding
apparatus and they still aren't easy to fold. It's not fun.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Does anybody know how to fold a fitted sheet?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh? Yes, actually there is. There is actually a way
to properly fold a fitted sheet. It's crazy. I will
look it up, but there is, and there is. I
wouldn't lie to you. I'm not like that. I'm telling
you please. I will sit at your feet and I
will learn on the daily. Yeah. And it's a weird.

(14:16):
When you see it, you go, oh, okay, well yeah
because it no, Yeah, it's weird. Anyways. So for September first,
today you have a bunch of holiday. As a matter
of fact, today is Labor Day, of course, but did
you know it's also Chicken Boy Day? Are you celebrating.
Is that why you have that outfit on? Kno, what

(14:39):
is a chicken boy? I don't understand? Or who is
chicken boy? Don't act? Don't play dumb, bro, that's sad.
If you're gonna say it's Chicken Boy Day, you have
to have a fact behind it, right. I hope it's
a day. It's not Compkattie, it's a day that celebrates
chicken boy. Okay, So who is chicken boy? Why? Chicken

(15:04):
you know what? Probably went to USC Yeah? No, U
c l a jerk? But why I don't understands be honest?
What did did Will say he liked the new Cracker
barrel logo? He did? He said it looked awesome? I believe.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
So there is a statue in California.

Speaker 1 (15:29):

I like burn ends. Who has burnt ends? I'm trying
to think who has burnands that I have had. You're referring
to meat, yeah, burbecue, burbecue. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I felt like when your hair gets fried.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
No, not split in bleaches. Yeah. Yeah. We that's why
we shaved our heads and so we could have all
the split ends to ourselves.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I bet you there is a split ends day.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I'm okay, you know what produce? Don't find it? Find it?
Just found chicken boy, hold on, I barely found Chicken Boy.
So Burning Man never been my scene. I know people
that have gone. I don't understand it. I mean, like Coachella,
I know exactly what it is. It's an art festival,

(18:52):
it's a music festival. Now it's a food festival. I
get it. I know exactly what it is. I know
it's going to be dusty, you know, but I know
it's going to be clean. You know. There's not gonna
be trash laying around. They run a tight ship. There's
water everywhere. I don't know what Burning Man is. I
know it's in the desert. I know there's an effigy

(19:13):
of a guy, a big guy that they burn, right,
that's the man, the man that is burning, hence the
name burning Man. So as that giant effigy, which means
like in the place of sort of looks like not
really burning a man in the Nevada Desert. A festival

(19:34):
goer approached sheriff's deputy, so he said, hey, there's this
guy lying in a pool of blood. The deputy apparently
they've got deputies and rangers there because it sounds like
a free for all, doesn't it. It sounds like lawless mayhem.
We're talking mad max type situation. So along with rangers

(19:58):
or the Bureau of Land Management found the man at
a campsite and he's dead now. As we talked about
a little bit earlier, people have died at Burning Man.
I mean, you got a lot of people there. I
think last year someone had an asthmatic attack of some
kind and died. And of course when there's drugs involved,

(20:18):
people can overdose. But it looks like you have tons
of investigators swarming this area, collecting all kinds of evidence,
interviewing all kinds of campers in the light during this
nine day Burning Man festival. I didn't know was nine
days either, tens of thousands of people. People come to

(20:40):
this desolate area, right, and they think it's a homicide,
and that's kind of nuts. And when you think about it,
you're in this desolate area about one hundred and twenty
miles north of Reno. They're celebrating, you know, community, self expression,

(21:02):
self reliance. I love that self reliance. And then the
CEOs get a helicopter drop there that fly them out.
So self reliant. Was it last year or the year
before where they had all those flash floods and all
that craziness. Yeah, and they yeah, we were so self reliant.

(21:24):
They all ran away. So they believe this death is
a is a homicide. So the remains the man no
one knows yet. They have not been he's not been
identified or anything like that. The Medical Examiner's office has
not given any more information. The act, they say, appears

(21:47):
to be a singular crime, you know, And they told
everybody at the event stay vigilant, you know, put your
head on a swivel and look. So the Burning Man Project,
it's the non profit organizers that put on this festival.
They said in a statement on their website that it

(22:09):
was cooperating with law enforcement and that peer support counselors
were available on the grounds. So let me get this straight.
You have something called the orgy Dome. You have people
running around naked and sweaty for nine days, people oding,

(22:30):
and now one guy dies in a pool of his
own blood, and they bring in peer counselors. How about
I walked in. I walked in the orgy Dome and
was taken down by BODUSSI don't look it up, care

(22:58):
too much about you don't look I'm just saying that
there is a lot of things that you could see
at burning Man, I would assume that you could use
a peer counselor Now, on the flip side of that coin,
one guy lost his life. The surprise someone gave birth.

(23:22):
How crazy is that? This has been going on for decades.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
And the bigger surprise is she didn't know she was pregnant.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, but okay, so think about how many people were conceived,
So you're gonna do the nine you know, once they
have a baby, then you go back nine months and
you can go, hey, what you know, what were you doing?
What was it January? You go back to January first,
and you're like, oh, okay, they were celebrating the new year, right,
so you can track it back to burning Man. But

(23:51):
they had this birth festival. Gore unexpectedly went in to labor,
not knowing the new father thirty nine of Salt Lake
City that it's an absolute miracle. So family's first names

(24:15):
are being used only to protect their privacy. I think
it's going to eventually get out. If you had a
baby and didn't know, somebody's going to tell that story.
But in a tent, the family was transported to the
festival's official medical tent. Oh my gosh, clear the orgy dome,

(24:38):
we're given birth.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
No, the orgy dome was destroyed by ast, but just
the thought.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
It's like, give me some hot towels, really hot towels.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Okay, she wasn't very pregnant. I'm reading the baby was
just three pounds nine ounces.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Wow, that's a pre me sure. Yeah yeah, but still
to be viable like that, you've got to be maybe
six months.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
And the nurse is said to her when she got
to the hospital, you don't look like you're pregnant at all.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
She goes, right, See, I've been trying to tell everybody. Wow,
that is because I guess, I mean, I suppose you
could go. But Ann said, now you feel them kicking,
right right? But at what point? What point do you
feel them kicking, like really kicking?

Speaker 3 (25:36):
I mean you start to feel flutters at twenty weeks ish?

Speaker 4 (25:40):
But how many weeks was she It doesn't say it wasn't.
But the baby was just three pounds nine ounces. Maybe
he was half sized.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeah, the baby's like living, right They never said that.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, from everything that I'm reading here, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Me too. Otherwise I've been moving on alrighty, well, happy
labor day to you have some food, enjoy yourself, get
near some water, have some fun, don't give birth, don't
get murdered, don't go to burning man, don't start any
hobo fires. No hobo fires. For the love of Pete,
