Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, it's Halloween. We don't need to scare people
Speaker 6: quite so early though.
Speaker 1: All right, and how was the show last night? I know,
Speaker 1: what did your stand up?
Speaker 6: I mean literally, after you guys talked about it on
Speaker 6: the bill Handles show, we started selling tickets left and right.
Speaker 6: It was almost a sold out show, just as a
Speaker 6: fantastic just a couple of seats left. So thank you
Speaker 6: so much for mentioning. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: It was fun. It was fun. We had a great crowd.
Speaker 6: I tried to limit the swears as best I could,
Speaker 6: but you know, it is.
Speaker 3: What it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you that was telling Anne there was no problem pitching.
Speaker 1: Whenever you're on, We'll be moarn happy to pitch it.
Speaker 1: What we do on the show.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate it. It was a fun show.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 6: And I also had I think there were some bill
Speaker 6: handlefans shows people that came out.
Speaker 3: They were like, hey fu, so it was cool.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Well there are some people still alive that
Speaker 1: yelled at not very old. How many of them here's
Speaker 1: the question, how many of those they fight? We're we're
Speaker 1: using walkers, quite a.
Speaker 6: Few, none, none of them. They are all, I would say,
Speaker 6: middle aged.
Speaker 1: Middle age. That's very generous of you, middle age. If
Speaker 1: you look at our demographics, our demographics have gotten older
Speaker 1: with us, and so now we used to be and
Speaker 1: this is inside baseball, our demographics that used to be
Speaker 1: thirty five to fifty four was our suitet spot where
Speaker 1: this was where we wanted to broadcast, and that's where
Speaker 1: we wanted listeners. Traditionally is twenty five fifty four. These
Speaker 1: are the age brackets. Ours was thirty five to fifty four.
Speaker 1: Now we're sixty five to death on your show on KFI.
Speaker 1: In general, I think I think we do I think
Speaker 1: we do skew the oldest.
Speaker 3: Well, I think we do radio, and well it's a
Speaker 3: given too.
Speaker 1: But I'm talking. I'm talking about on a KFI. I
Speaker 1: think we skewed the oldest.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 6: I talked about last time I'm a stand up show
Speaker 6: about AM radio and I was like, does everyone know
Speaker 6: what AM radio was?
Speaker 1: And it was like nobody, Yeah, two people. So Neil
Speaker 1: used to be in management, and you have to have
Speaker 1: noticed that our audience is old. Your audience.
Speaker 6: No, when I'm cleaning through the talkbacks, they're not as
Speaker 6: old as I think you think they are. There are
Speaker 6: a lot of young quipper snappers that are still listening
Speaker 6: to this show.
Speaker 1: They you know, people used to come up to me,
Speaker 1: people used to come up to me. Well, they always
Speaker 1: still they still do to some extent. And that is
Speaker 1: Hey Bill, I've been listening for ten years, Hey, thanks
Speaker 1: very much. And then it was like, hey, I've been
Speaker 1: listening to you for fifteen years ago, Wow, thank you.
Speaker 1: And then it was the twenty year mark and say
Speaker 1: that's great. By twenty five years, I'm telling them shut up.
Speaker 1: Now it's hey Bill, I've been listening to you too,
Speaker 1: four and I don't let them get beyond that. Shut up.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear it. The other thing I get,
Speaker 1: which I really enjoy, is someone in their twenties and thirties. Hey,
Speaker 1: my mom and dad love you. What do you mean
Speaker 1: my mom? Your mom and dad love you, listen to
Speaker 1: you all the time. How about your grandparents? Oh, they
Speaker 1: love you even more. My favorite exactly is smiling.
Speaker 5: Oh we keep you on at the home.
Speaker 1: And oh she full born in Handle we call now.
Speaker 1: There's there's a couple of times that this has happened,
Speaker 1: and this is actually very moving. Uh, this is no
Speaker 1: bs is Uh. I have been on a couple of occasions,
Speaker 1: two or three occasions, people have come up to me
Speaker 1: and said, my uncle or my dad or mom, Uh
Speaker 1: were they just passed away and they were having the
Speaker 1: last six months of their life was horrible? And you,
Speaker 1: that is you on the morning team made uh their
Speaker 1: their last few months uh livable And then every morning
Speaker 1: they would listen to you. That was kind of moving.
Speaker 1: And then you want to hear a couple of real
Speaker 1: sick ones. Uh. There was one in particular, I remember
Speaker 1: that a listener was buried with a radio in the
Speaker 1: coffin that was on to KFI.
Speaker 5: What that's not sick. That's kind of sweet. It is sweet.
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of sick.
Speaker 3: But uh, what show was on?
Speaker 1: I think I think it was the entire KFI one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming. Yeah. Can you imagine you're burying someone
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're going past and there's
Speaker 1: a graveyard and you're hearing KFI on it. That's when
Speaker 1: you really get frightened.
Speaker 4: When you kick it, I'm gonna put, you know, a
Speaker 4: streaming device in with you and it's just going to
Speaker 4: be doing podcasts from the John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1: That's perfect, over and.
Speaker 5: Over and over.
Speaker 1: Okay, guys, that's enough. Uh yeah, we'll end it at
Speaker 1: that point. We still have a whole lot to cover,
Speaker 1: and so let's do it. It's time for Handle on
Speaker 1: the News with Heather Brooker in for Amy Today. Neil
Speaker 1: and me lead story. Yeah, this story is that now
Speaker 1: it's getting some serious legs because the property owners and
Speaker 1: the renters and the owners of businesses and the Palisades
Speaker 1: fire who lost everything all of a sudden. I think
Speaker 1: they're suing the city and actually getting a case for
Speaker 1: it in the city. I think this isn't to make
Speaker 1: go bankrupt on this one because it turned out that
Speaker 1: that fire was originally a small fire in the Palisades
Speaker 1: and it was taken it. I was only eight acres
Speaker 1: and it was put out, and there was still smoldering
Speaker 1: debris there, hot rocks, and the firefighter said, we have
Speaker 1: to take these out. We have to stay here, make
Speaker 1: sure everything is out and extinguished. And the battalion chief said, no,
Speaker 1: get out. Now.
Speaker 5: They're not naming the battalion chief.
Speaker 1: No, they won't at this point. I mean, it'll happen
Speaker 1: because he's going to be sued or she is going
Speaker 1: to be sued personally. But if it turns out that
Speaker 1: they can connect the Palisades fire to that fire, and
Speaker 1: there seems to be the connection because that's where it ignited,
Speaker 1: then you have pure negligence. Why did you in light
Speaker 1: of the fact that you were told that they have
Speaker 1: to stay and put out the smouldering fires, the hawks,
Speaker 1: the rocks were even still very hot and you pulled
Speaker 1: them out.
Speaker 4: Why And they have the technology obviously to be able
Speaker 4: to look and see where the hotspots are, and from
Speaker 4: what they're saying, they didn't even bring that out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about putting your hand? Yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: crazy and so now the city, if the city is
Speaker 1: going to be held responsible, the city's bankrupt. It's that simple.
Speaker 1: The city is bankrupt. How do you pay off sixteen
Speaker 1: thousand homeowners? How do you pay off homes in along
Speaker 1: Malibu along the sea, you know, Malibu on the seaside
Speaker 1: of Malibu, that are twelve million dollars apiece? How do
Speaker 1: you pay those off? And there's hundreds of those? All right?
Speaker 1: Moving on? All right?
Speaker 6: So President Trump has called for an end of the
Speaker 6: filibuster to break the stalemate that's going on right now.
Speaker 6: He's telling the Republicans to shut down the shutdown basically
Speaker 6: to play the quote Trump card. This is what he
Speaker 6: posted on social media, and he called it the nuclear
Speaker 6: option to get rid of the filibuster, and get rid
Speaker 6: of it now.
Speaker 1: Now, the filibuster, it is the nuclear option. They did
Speaker 1: that with the Supreme Court justices, and that is the filibuster,
Speaker 1: which you then need sixty votes in the Senate to
Speaker 1: override the filibuster, which effectively means that senators from the
Speaker 1: opposite party can just shut down any bill that's going
Speaker 1: through that you can filibuster through, and so it gives
Speaker 1: the opposing party some ammunition when you get rid of
Speaker 1: the filibuster, it's a straight majority. You have one more
Speaker 1: than the majority, and you've got it. They did that
Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court justices get rid of the filibuster.
Speaker 1: But that makes sense because Supreme Court justices lasts for
Speaker 1: thirty thirty five years. Now this does not. So what's
Speaker 1: happening is if they go So I see where I
Speaker 1: conflated it, because we're talking about snap funding and this
Speaker 1: is just another one. Okay, the school system is going
Speaker 1: to do snap funding, Okay, fair enough, I say it's yeah,
Speaker 1: And the kids are all going to write thank you
Speaker 1: cards and unfortunately, because it's LAUSD, they're gonna misspell thank you. Okay.
Speaker 1: So now I went to la USD and now everybody
Speaker 1: graduates with a certificate of illiteracy. The school system isn't
Speaker 1: so good anymore.
Speaker 3: And look at you now, big time radio hosts.
Speaker 4: We have the former president of the company, Greg Ashlock,
Speaker 4: who I dore, who would sign his emails th X,
Speaker 4: And I'm like, thinks that's what thinks.
Speaker 5: Like just putting a couple of letters in there was
Speaker 5: going to be too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never understood, Uh, okay, I've never understood this.
Speaker 1: The only thing I do understand is a WTF. That
Speaker 1: one I get, But everything else I do not understand.
Speaker 4: Blue Literally you got fifteen people were taken to a
Speaker 4: hospital after a drop in altitude. I've never experienced that
Speaker 4: on a Planet's fun.
Speaker 1: It's fun. You know, when they tell you to buckle
Speaker 1: your seat belt while you're sitting down, that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they don't make it. Why don't
Speaker 1: they make it mandatory. I don't get why they don't
Speaker 1: say you have to on takeoff and landing you have
Speaker 1: to buckle your seat belt. You can't go to the
Speaker 1: restroom when that little light is on. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: get why it isn't absolutely necessary because you get these
Speaker 1: drops in uh in altitude and they go thousands of feet.
Speaker 5: Man, this then you're help.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like an elevator, a very very fast elevator.
Speaker 4: So they were traveling to Cancun, Mexico. From cantcuon, Mexico
Speaker 4: to Newark, New Jersey. That sounds like a horrible decision.
Speaker 1: If they are coming back.
Speaker 4: They experienced this drop in altitude and they had to
Speaker 4: turn things around and people were hospitalized.
Speaker 5: I'm assuming they bumped their heads somewhere and.
Speaker 1: It was okay, I'm assuming they did if they weren't
Speaker 1: buckled in. Yeah. Now, thank god it wasn't coming back
Speaker 1: from CanCon from Mexico because there'd been vomit all over
Speaker 1: the inside of that airplane. Value judgment. Okay, moving on.
Speaker 6: That happened to me and from New Orleans on a
Speaker 6: floor to throw up, from New Orleans to Tulsa, will
Speaker 6: I have never had so many regrets?
Speaker 3: All right, Ice says there was a man who was
Speaker 3: shot hardon me. I am excuse me one second.
Speaker 4: Well, mins aren't supposed to use their voice, so it's
Speaker 4: it's totally okay.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, my voice just completely get out of me.
Speaker 1: No, you have to well, you know what you have
Speaker 1: to do. You have to broadcast out of the box.
Speaker 6: Think, hold on, nobody can see this comedy that's happening
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 4: Sometimes in life you're just going against the wind there.
Speaker 6: All right, moving on, all right, Ice Operation Ontario turned
Speaker 6: violent after a man was shot by ICE agents and
Speaker 6: then fled the scene.
Speaker 5: Just let them do their job for now and vote
Speaker 5: with your votes. Yeah, you can protest. You're getting hurt
Speaker 5: for no reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't get involved. You're hurting your own you're
Speaker 1: hurting your own argument. You're hurting your side by getting
Speaker 1: involved in shooting or throwing rocks or bottles at ICE agents.
Speaker 6: Well, I said, this man wasn't their original target. They
Speaker 6: were conducting a traffic stop and this driver drove up
Speaker 6: and then drove up into his car reverse and trying.
Speaker 1: The case though, when you see the protesters are surrounding
Speaker 1: ICE agents that are picking people up, that's usually the case.
Speaker 1: All right, here's an nan or naner for Neil. Why
Speaker 1: don't you you do this one.
Speaker 4: I'm not doing it as a popularity contest bub and
Speaker 4: it exactly what this is, buddy, and on it you
Speaker 4: wing not Yeah, this is a popularity.
Speaker 1: Californians so smart.
Speaker 4: The same ones that voted for a high speed Trained
Speaker 4: to Nowhere bell H seemed to be overwhelmingly leaning to
Speaker 4: Prop fifty, going against their very constitution.
Speaker 1: Go figure.
Speaker 4: So two new polls coming out and it's not about
Speaker 4: whether this was going to pass. I think anything that
Speaker 4: has a D behind it California pass.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily true, by the way, going against their constitution.
Speaker 1: I don't think there is an election cycle that doesn't
Speaker 1: change the Constitution of California. We do that all of
Speaker 1: the time. The California Constitution is over five hundred pages.
Speaker 1: No one has any idea what's in it. Well, that
Speaker 1: argument doesn't. So that argument doesn't hold water. Bub does it?
Speaker 4: No bub, then it means that our the California Constitution
Speaker 4: is crap.
Speaker 1: Well that may be, but for example, the input, the
Speaker 1: implot the implementation of that, that independent council that was
Speaker 1: put up that people say we have to keep on
Speaker 1: doing that, that was put up to change the constitution.
Speaker 1: So this, of course Prop. Fifty is about allowing the
Speaker 1: state legislature to redistrict and taking it away from the
Speaker 1: independent constitution, the independent commission to fight Texas and North
Speaker 1: Carolina who are doing that?
Speaker 4: Who was fighting Illinois in twenty twenty and New Mexico
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it has become political. And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what happens if you don't have independent commissions all over
Speaker 1: the country. All right, moving on, can go there, all
Speaker 1: old people, Okay, we're going to go there and yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you and I are on opposite side of that one.
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Prince Andrew has been stripped of his
Speaker 6: titles and forced out of his royal mansion after the
Speaker 6: ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. He will now
Speaker 6: be known as Andrew Mountain Batton Windsor, and apparently he
Speaker 6: will moved to a property on the Sandringham State. The
Speaker 6: family of the late Virginia Jeffrey, who accused him of
Speaker 6: sexually assaulting her when she was seventeen, set in a
Speaker 6: statement to the BBC that she brought down a British
Speaker 6: prince with her truth, an extraordinary courage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he kept on saying he had almost nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Epstein, and then that picture of him with Epstein,
Speaker 1: and then that ridiculous interview. Oh, I never remember being
Speaker 1: anywhere near Epstein. And there is all the testimony and
Speaker 1: the pictures, and now we're finding out, right, and now
Speaker 1: we're finding out that Epstein and Prince Andrew, Andrew was
Speaker 1: basically sloppy seconds with virtually everything that that Epstein was
Speaker 1: involved with. And so he is no longer Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1: He's done. He is now just going to be a
Speaker 1: regular guy, Andrew mount Benton Windsor in the Andrew Silly
Speaker 1: Dirty Yrvy pack.
Speaker 6: Well, actually the regular guy who lives in the Standringham estate,
Speaker 6: which is a.
Speaker 1: Well not anymore, not anymore, not anymore. Look at look that.
Speaker 3: He's moving to it though, that's what it says.
Speaker 1: He's moving to sandring Him.
Speaker 6: Yes, they're moving him out of his Royal Lodge mansion
Speaker 6: in Windsor to the.
Speaker 1: Windsor Is on the grounds of Windsor property. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to pay regular rent because it
Speaker 1: was given to him on Windsor I believe or he
Speaker 1: paid nominal rent. Also as King Charles and Royalty, the
Speaker 1: royal family Charles and Camilla said he is no longer
Speaker 1: prince and he's no longer Duke of York. He will
Speaker 1: now be known as Andy Baby.
Speaker 3: Imagine having to imagine having to do that to your brother.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure he has no problem with that. Imagine
Speaker 4: you're having to find out about your brother.
Speaker 3: And Andrew.
Speaker 1: Andrews an interesting guy. You know. During the Falklands War, Uh,
Speaker 1: he was a helicopter pilot and was rescuing people that
Speaker 1: was ressing British soldiers and he was in combat, I
Speaker 1: mean real combat flying a helicopter. So uh, you know,
Speaker 1: he had a great reputation in Epstein and went into
Speaker 1: the toilet.
Speaker 4: All right, I think they were Steve. He was excited
Speaker 4: when they said, hey, you're getting stripped today.
Speaker 1: That's very strong, except when you found out what it
Speaker 1: really meant. Okay, all right, one massive tech block.
Speaker 4: You've got more than fourteen hundred nurses going on strike
Speaker 4: at USC's Kech Hospital and they've walked off jobs onto
Speaker 4: this picket lines just yesterday.
Speaker 5: Contract talks are going on.
Speaker 4: But you know this great, great center, you know, the fantastic,
Speaker 4: fantastic hospital USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, high.
Speaker 1: Very high end. Yeah, we were talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: the hospital and good for them, you know. For a
Speaker 1: PR move went up to one of the patients who
Speaker 1: needed the care for nurses and said, what do you think?
Speaker 4: Well, you know what I got to tell you. As
Speaker 4: horrible as it is, you know, we're talking about the
Speaker 4: SNAP program. How is it any different when you go
Speaker 4: on strike in medicine?
Speaker 1: Because there are enough management to take over for one day,
Speaker 1: that's not a problem. So if they're to two days,
Speaker 1: it's bad. You know, if it can go three day weeks,
Speaker 1: it can go for weeks. This is not to shut
Speaker 1: down the hospital. This is simply a statement, that's what
Speaker 1: this is. One day strikes, or simply pay attention to us.
Speaker 1: We've got an issue going on. That's one day strike.
Speaker 1: So if it goes on and on, you're right, then
Speaker 1: people really do suffer.
Speaker 6: The NBA Board of Governors has unanimously approved Mark Walter's
Speaker 6: bid to buy the Lakers, So it is official. Mark
Speaker 6: Walters owns the Lakers. The Lakers were in the Bus
Speaker 6: family since nineteen seventy nine, and Jenie Bus will be
Speaker 6: on the team. She'll be the team's governor for at
Speaker 6: least the next five years.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the Bus family has owned it for years and years.
Speaker 1: Doctor Jerry Buss bought the Lakers originally for six dollars
Speaker 1: or something. And look what he did to build it up.
Speaker 1: What is he a doctor of By the way, I
Speaker 1: know he has a doctorate, but any love? Right, he's
Speaker 1: the doctor of love.
Speaker 6: So watch that series about him and about him buying
Speaker 6: the Lakers story, Oh it was so good.
Speaker 4: Uh, Okay, don't sell drugs to rich famous people's children.
Speaker 4: Five alleged drug dealers facing felony charges right now. This
Speaker 4: all centers around the involvement in the death of Leonardo
Speaker 4: de Niro Rodriguez. That's the grandson of, of course, Robert
Speaker 4: de Niro acting legend. And now a federal grand jury
Speaker 4: in New York indicted the quintet quintet just on Tuesday,
Speaker 4: so each had a single felony count of conspiracy to
Speaker 4: distribute controlled substances that resulted in death.
Speaker 6: All right, say, okay, LA plans to recycle enough water
Speaker 6: to meet the needs of five hundred to thousand people.
Speaker 6: They are going to double the size of a project
Speaker 6: that would transform wastewater into purified drinking water. Their cycled
Speaker 6: water is going to allow the city to stop taking
Speaker 6: water from creeks that feed Mono Lake, and hopefully they're
Speaker 6: saying that they're hoping this will resolve the long running
Speaker 6: environmental conflicts that we have here with water issues.
Speaker 3: All right, so.
Speaker 1: Pretty soon we're going to be using toilet water, which
Speaker 1: incidentally they use at this on the space station and
Speaker 1: they take your urination product and filtered and it's actually
Speaker 1: the technology is there by the way where wastewater across
Speaker 1: the board can be used. But people think it's not
Speaker 1: particularly palatable, and.
Speaker 6: If you don't know where it's been before exactly that
Speaker 6: it's all a mental thing.
Speaker 1: It is just don't drink lemonade that I would stay
Speaker 1: away from.
Speaker 4: Okay, I worked with kids from Africa before, and one
Speaker 4: of the first questions they asked me, is it true
Speaker 4: that you guys use clean water for your toilets. It's
Speaker 4: an odd concept to people.
Speaker 1: They didn't know. You're right, No, you're right.
Speaker 4: Huh real quickly, last story, the biggest pile of BS
Speaker 4: we could find this morning was Amazon chief executive Andy
Speaker 4: Jasse's explanation for why they cut fourteen thousand people. It
Speaker 4: wasn't really about money, not even AI but culture.
Speaker 5: But culture.
Speaker 1: It's a culture of money. Yeah, I just I'm missing
Speaker 1: something here.
Speaker 4: Well, they said the Amazon's quarterly sales grew thirteen percent
Speaker 4: year on year to one hundred and eighty billion dollars.
Speaker 4: But he explained that Amazon added they added head count
Speaker 4: and locations and certain things like that.
Speaker 5: But they're they're changing the culture. I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're changing the culture by hiring fewer people and
Speaker 1: firing people. That one I don't understand, but you know,
Speaker 1: so be it as opposed to, hey, we're saving money.
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
Speaker 4: The Frosty story didn't come out about that. It was AI,
Speaker 4: that AI was more efficient in certain jobs.
Speaker 1: And no I did. That's why they cut all those jobs,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately entry level jobs. And the technology that Amazon
Speaker 1: is implementing is insane, all of the technology. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: we are done. KFI. It's true. KFI Am sixty. You've
Speaker 1: been listening to the Bill Handle Show. Catch my show
