- 0:03Speaker 1: Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Kf I AM six forty Bill Handle.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Here. It is a Tuesday morning, June twenty three, and
- 0:16Speaker 1: we've got some news we're looking at.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Well.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Vice President Vance has said the tay Iran has agreed
- 0:23Speaker 1: to admit nuclear monitors into the country, calling it the
- 0:27Speaker 1: first step towards permanently denuclearizing Iran. The problem is Iran
- 0:32Speaker 1: hasn't said that They're going to a little problematic on
- 0:37Speaker 1: that one, and the Pentagon has total senators. It needs
- 0:41Speaker 1: about eighty billion dollars so far to cover the cost
- 0:46Speaker 1: of the US war against Iran, and so there's going
- 0:49Speaker 1: to be some backlash on that one.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Okay, Moving to California.
- 0:54Speaker 1: This is what I do every time I go to
- 0:56Speaker 1: the market like yesterday, is even though I have those
- 1:01Speaker 1: big plastic bags, those heavy duty plastic bags that are
- 1:06Speaker 1: multiple use bags, I never bring them out of the car.
- 1:09Speaker 1: So I always get I usually go through self check
- 1:14Speaker 1: and ask how many bags you want, and I'll go
- 1:16Speaker 1: one or two or three, and then the heavy duty,
- 1:19Speaker 1: the heavy duty bags, paper bags, and so here is
- 1:26Speaker 1: what's going on in California. That was just an anecdote.
- 1:29Speaker 1: California has a law that you can't have single use
- 1:32Speaker 1: plastic bags, and that went into effect June first, that
- 1:35Speaker 1: now no one could use those bags, no store lawsuit,
- 1:41Speaker 1: a lawsuit from environmental groups suing the state, and at
- 1:47Speaker 1: the same time a lawsuit from the National Association of
- 1:51Speaker 1: Wholesale Distributors and some states, and that's led by Attorney
- 1:56Speaker 1: General Mike Hilgers of Nebraska. So here is califor or
- 2:00Speaker 1: You're caught between a rock and a hard place. On
- 2:02Speaker 1: the one hand, plastic bags that you can't have single
- 2:06Speaker 1: use plastic bags, Nope, because it screws up the environment,
- 2:09Speaker 1: which we know it does. And at the same time
- 2:12Speaker 1: you've got the environmental group saying, nah, you can't do
- 2:15Speaker 1: it the way you're doing it, because there's holes in
- 2:17Speaker 1: this law big enough to drive a truck through. Now
- 2:21Speaker 1: Here is the premise, which I don't understand. I can
- 2:24Speaker 1: understand California lawsuits against the law saying it doesn't do enough. Okay, yeah,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I got it. That's your normal regular lawsuit, the one
- 2:33Speaker 1: from the states and the one from the distributors, the
- 2:38Speaker 1: people that make and distribute these plastic they distribute bags,
- 2:44Speaker 1: are saying that California is an acting a policy that
- 2:49Speaker 1: negatively impacts the rest of the country. California passing a
- 2:53Speaker 1: California law, the law should not exist because it impacts
- 2:59Speaker 1: people in other parts of the country.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Where do you go with that one.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It's a state law, and so what if it negatively
- 3:08Speaker 1: affects people in other states? For example, you can't buy restaurants,
- 3:15Speaker 1: can't serve fois gras, goose liver, Patti, can't do it
- 3:21Speaker 1: no more. And then you have the National Association of
- 3:26Speaker 1: Dead Geese who are now saying, oh, no, you can't
- 3:30Speaker 1: do that because we manufacture or we distribute goose liver. Wait, okay,
- 3:38Speaker 1: how about the gasoline the limits here we have the
- 3:42Speaker 1: summer blend of gasoline. So people in other parts of
- 3:46Speaker 1: the country saying, well, because you have restrictions in California,
- 3:52Speaker 1: therefore it negatively affects us. Wait a minute, how about
- 3:58Speaker 1: our pollution controls on cars.
- 4:01Speaker 2: We've already had.
- 4:02Speaker 1: We've already we've always had much stricter pollution controls on cars,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and therefore the car manufacturers could easily say, well, that
- 4:11Speaker 1: affects us because we are forced to adopt those laws
- 4:15Speaker 1: in California because we sell so many cars in California
- 4:20Speaker 1: and therefore it affects our ability to sell cars in
- 4:23Speaker 1: other states.
- 4:24Speaker 2: You know, what where are they going with this?
- 4:28Speaker 1: I mean sometimes I just don't understand lawsuits to argue
- 4:32Speaker 1: that a California law somehow affects other states.
- 4:37Speaker 2: It does, it does. Every state has that issue or not.
- 4:44Speaker 2: California just has more influence.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Why because we're California, because we're the juggernaud Because our
- 4:52Speaker 1: economy is by far the biggest in the United States.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Our economy just California is the fifth biggest economy in
- 4:58Speaker 1: on the planet. If California where its own country, it
- 5:01Speaker 1: would be in the top five countries with the GDP.
- 5:06Speaker 1: That's how strong the economy is. So it doesn't matter
- 5:08Speaker 1: what California does. No matter which way it moves, it's
- 5:12Speaker 1: going to affect other parts of the country. And so
- 5:16Speaker 1: I don't know where this lawsuit is coming from. According
- 5:20Speaker 1: to the President chief Executive of the Whole Wholesalers Group,
- 5:24Speaker 1: California is not entitled to pronounce nationwide policies.
- 5:29Speaker 2: They're not.
- 5:31Speaker 1: California is entitled to pronounce statewide policies, and that's what happens,
- 5:37Speaker 1: and just because it affects the rest of the country. Okay,
- 5:41Speaker 1: so what, Oh, here's another analogy. July fourth is coming up.
- 5:46Speaker 1: So La County can't buy fireworks in Ventura County. They
- 5:50Speaker 1: have all these little sand these little stands, safe insane fireworks,
- 5:55Speaker 1: and so people go across the street right onto the
- 5:57Speaker 1: county line, buy fireworks and bring them back to La County.
- 6:02Speaker 1: So does La County file a lawsuit against Ventura saying, well,
- 6:07Speaker 1: your law affects us, so therefore La County can stop
- 6:13Speaker 1: Ventura County from selling fireworks.
- 6:16Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way. By the way, do you
- 6:20Speaker 2: ever buy fireworks in Ventura?
- 6:25Speaker 1: You know, the safe and sane when there's a little stands.
- 6:28Speaker 1: You know, I love fireworks stories because every July fourth
- 6:32Speaker 1: some kid is boiling his hand off and we always
- 6:35Speaker 1: cover that. And it's a lested to be learned. Do
- 6:39Speaker 1: not do not use fireworks at home. Just don't unless
- 6:45Speaker 1: you're okay with never being able to hitchhike again.
- 6:47Speaker 2: I'm fine with that, okay.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Oh, this news just broke, by the way, I just
- 6:52Speaker 1: came down the pike, and that is there was a
- 6:56Speaker 1: Rastafarian who was in prison and the prison officials cut
- 7:01Speaker 1: his dreads. Goodbye, no dreads. Now what he sues? Of course,
- 7:10Speaker 1: he sues, I want my dreads back, I want damages
- 7:16Speaker 1: and I am allowed to keep.
- 7:18Speaker 2: My dreads because of freedom of religion.
- 7:22Speaker 1: And so far the courts have been pretty lenient about
- 7:24Speaker 1: freedom of religion in the prisons. Guess what he lost?
- 7:30Speaker 1: He lost and can you I'm going to tell you
- 7:32Speaker 1: why he lost. And this is a stunner.
- 7:35Speaker 2: He lost.
- 7:37Speaker 1: The court ruled that he couldn't sue the state over
- 7:42Speaker 1: his treatment, that is, cutting his dreadlocks in violation of
- 7:46Speaker 1: his belief.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Why because the local official officials who cut his.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Dreads were not aware of the details of federal law
- 7:56Speaker 1: that protects religion.
- 7:58Speaker 2: So if you're not aware of it, do it. Wow.
- 8:03Speaker 1: So if you're a Rastafarian, don't get caught with any
- 8:07Speaker 1: drugs bond. If you're gonna smoke the marijuana, the evil weed,
- 8:12Speaker 1: do it in states that have legalized it.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Now.
- 8:18Speaker 1: What's going on in the state of California. Oh, a
- 8:20Speaker 1: lot of California news today. California state workers are challenging
- 8:24Speaker 1: a new mandate that the governor signed and that is
- 8:29Speaker 1: requiring state workers to return to the office four days
- 8:33Speaker 1: a week starting July one, and lawmakers advance the bill
- 8:40Speaker 1: to ensure telework options. Yet this bill goes July first,
- 8:46Speaker 1: and if you go, but you go Sacramento, there's a
- 8:49Speaker 1: highway up there, and as you drive down the highway
- 8:53Speaker 1: there's a billboard warning drivers they are going to be
- 8:58Speaker 1: future traffic jams if you're forced to go back to
- 9:01Speaker 1: work four days a week. And so the state workers
- 9:04Speaker 1: have argued they've been working efficiently under high bred schedules
- 9:08Speaker 1: since COVID, and so therefore, since remote work works.
- 9:13Speaker 2: So well, how dare you?
- 9:15Speaker 1: The governor insists that we employees of the state have
- 9:18Speaker 1: to work four days a week. COVID has been working
- 9:22Speaker 1: and doing the jobs efficiently, and we keep California running.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And this is the SCIU Local one thousand, which represents
- 9:30Speaker 1: state workers in Sacramento. And the governor at his budget
- 9:35Speaker 1: presentation in May said, yeah, there are challenges of returning
- 9:39Speaker 1: to the office, but then he started to talking about
- 9:42Speaker 1: the benefits of.
- 9:42Speaker 2: In person work.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Change is hard. I'm empathetic. Everyone has unique criteria circumstance.
- 9:50Speaker 1: We try to accommodate for that. But four days a week,
- 9:53Speaker 1: Nice to see you again. Would it be nice to
- 9:56Speaker 1: see you again. Nice to see you again, nice to
- 9:59Speaker 1: run into you in the hall, nice to develop a relationship,
- 10:02Speaker 1: nice not to feel so alone. He wants four days
- 10:06Speaker 1: a week, and we know management certainly want people to
- 10:08Speaker 1: show up more so than not.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Because there really is a connection. There are some advantages.
- 10:16Speaker 1: I mean when you look at the advantages of the
- 10:20Speaker 1: remote working at home working, the huge advantages, but you
- 10:23Speaker 1: miss out. How about zoom meetings? I mean, how efficient
- 10:27Speaker 1: are those? You know, my partner Savil with the cookwear company,
- 10:35Speaker 1: he had to use to travel to see big distributors.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Now he does zoom meetings. They can do five a day,
- 10:41Speaker 1: six a day, seven a day. But you know what
- 10:43Speaker 1: you lose. You lose the body language, You lose that intimacy,
- 10:48Speaker 1: You lose the kind of conversations that you can only
- 10:52Speaker 1: have when you're there in person. I mean, these zoom
- 10:56Speaker 1: meetings are very impersonal. However, look at the efficiencies. So
- 11:04Speaker 1: which way are they gonna go? You're gonna go back
- 11:06Speaker 1: to work four day's week now, A lot of companies
- 11:08Speaker 1: have already done that, I think, and I'm not if
- 11:11Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken here at iHeart, we're talking in sales management,
- 11:15Speaker 1: middle management.
- 11:16Speaker 2: I think it's five days a week, isn't it? Do
- 11:21Speaker 2: we know? Yeah, because it doesn't affect us.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I mean I as far as broadcaster is concerned, we
- 11:30Speaker 1: can broadcast wherever you want, as long as we do
- 11:32Speaker 1: the job, and in many cases it does a better job.
- 11:35Speaker 2: I've shared this before.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I'm broadcasting from my house, and for me, it's easier
- 11:41Speaker 1: and it's a better broadcast because I'm I see everybody
- 11:45Speaker 1: on a computer screen where I didn't before.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Everybody was different rooms down the hall.
- 11:53Speaker 1: So it's And for those of you that work with me,
- 11:57Speaker 1: and we're talking about Amy and we're talking about Codo
- 11:59Speaker 1: and the fee folks that are there, don't you like
- 12:02Speaker 1: not having me around? Isn't that an advantage? They're smiling
- 12:08Speaker 1: and nodding. That is correct. So that's another perk of
- 12:14Speaker 1: at home work, remote work. And then I that's the
- 12:19Speaker 1: other thing. In the morning, I don't shower, not that
- 12:22Speaker 1: I ever did, but I get out of my bedroom,
- 12:25Speaker 1: I walk downstairs, walk into my studio and as I said,
- 12:29Speaker 1: I'm in my shorts.
- 12:31Speaker 2: And during the summer, I go commando.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Because it's hot and we get the nice breeze going
- 12:38Speaker 1: through the dangly bits.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I can't do that at work.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Thank god, there are might dangly bits right there, because
- 12:50Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hot day to day. All right, Hey,
- 12:54Speaker 1: your official home for a Dodger baseball is AM five
- 12:57Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports this afternoon. You're back to back world
- 13:01Speaker 1: champion Dodgers. How do you play baseball back to back? Yeah,
- 13:04Speaker 1: you got a couple of guys. No, No, I don't
- 13:08Speaker 1: think that's the case. You're back to back world champion
- 13:11Speaker 1: Dodgers take on the Twins in Minnesota, first pitch at
- 13:14Speaker 1: four forty listening on AM five to seventy LA Sports,
- 13:18Speaker 1: streaming on the iHeartRadio app live from the Gallop and
- 13:21Speaker 1: Ford Broadcast booth, and in Minnesota. Ice will be there
- 13:25Speaker 1: and picking up baseball players just to be interesting.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Okay, we're done with that. Stop shaking your head. Cono.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Wouldn't you love it if Ice walked on the field
- 13:35Speaker 1: and just pick someone up? No, No, that would be
- 13:38Speaker 1: hugely entertaining. I would absolutely love it.
- 13:42Speaker 2: All right.
- 13:43Speaker 1: World Cup is going on, and it's I'm gonna give
- 13:46Speaker 1: you the good side of the World Cup because we're
- 13:48Speaker 1: going to talk about how it is not as successful
- 13:51Speaker 1: as the fife of people thought it was going to be,
- 13:55Speaker 1: and the various hotel operators.
- 13:58Speaker 2: Restaurants, et cetera. Not particularly through.
- 14:00Speaker 1: But I'll tell you who is thrilled. Who are thrilled,
- 14:03Speaker 1: and that's soccer fans from all over the world. Because
- 14:07Speaker 1: these people don't vacation in the United States, so this
- 14:10Speaker 1: is the first go round. They're here because of the
- 14:12Speaker 1: World Cup, and they are fanatic because soccer fans are insane,
- 14:18Speaker 1: even to the point where remember that Colombian referee who
- 14:22Speaker 1: was beaten to death by a bunch of fans. Yeah,
- 14:28Speaker 1: they get pretty excited, to say the least. Okay, so
- 14:31Speaker 1: what's going on. Well, if you look at social media,
- 14:35Speaker 1: you're seeing a whole lot of praising experiences at bars,
- 14:39Speaker 1: convenience stores, restaurants. They are thrilled with the United States
- 14:45Speaker 1: in many different ways.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Because we're not talking politics now.
- 14:49Speaker 1: So you have fans and cities all over the United States,
- 14:52Speaker 1: well actually where the games are played, Kansas City, Kansas City, Atlanta, Seattle, LA.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And they have not eaten at breakfast changed like waffles.
- 15:01Speaker 1: They don't know from waffles in the morning. They don't
- 15:04Speaker 1: know from big breakfasts. I mean if you've ever been
- 15:07Speaker 1: to France, For example, you have breakfast. You know what
- 15:09Speaker 1: breakfast is a little piece of bag yet maybe a
- 15:13Speaker 1: piece of cheese, butter on it, cup of coffee, maybe
- 15:16Speaker 1: a piece of fruit. And the last time I was
- 15:18Speaker 1: in France, I asked for an American style breakfast. I
- 15:21Speaker 1: didn't say American styles that I'd like an omelet, I'd
- 15:24Speaker 1: like potatoes, and the waiter person looked at me. I
- 15:31Speaker 1: spit on American breakfast fit. They just don't know from
- 15:37Speaker 1: American breakfast.
- 15:38Speaker 2: They don't know.
- 15:39Speaker 1: They don't know from waffle waffle houses. The other thing,
- 15:43Speaker 1: there's a man from England posted a video inside of
- 15:45Speaker 1: Walmart saying you could purchase car parts, a flat screen TV,
- 15:49Speaker 1: a rifle under one roof. How does that work? They
- 15:52Speaker 1: just don't know. They're surprised at the quality. They're surprised
- 15:57Speaker 1: at the quantity of the food, because we get massive
- 16:02Speaker 1: portions that they don't do over in Europe or in
- 16:06Speaker 1: other parts of the world. The other thing they don't
- 16:08Speaker 1: do is they don't do free refills on drinks.
- 16:12Speaker 2: What the hell is this about?
- 16:13Speaker 1: And then everything is with ice, never gone overseas and
- 16:16Speaker 1: asking anything with ice, what do you mean with ice.
- 16:19Speaker 1: They don't know from ice and drinks. So I asked
- 16:22Speaker 1: for I want a glass full of ice. They bring
- 16:25Speaker 1: me one cube, one cube, and I said, no, no,
- 16:29Speaker 1: you don't understand.
- 16:30Speaker 2: I want a glass full of ice that.
- 16:33Speaker 1: We're talking abou about people speak English, a glass full
- 16:36Speaker 1: of ice up to the top of ice. Do you understand? Okay,
- 16:40Speaker 1: I get another cube. Now I'm in two cube. I
- 16:43Speaker 1: have two cubes in my drink. And they just they
- 16:47Speaker 1: just don't do it the way we do it. And
- 16:49Speaker 1: we did the story yesterday about the big story. Ranch
- 16:52Speaker 1: dressing has swept the furriners that are here, and they
- 16:57Speaker 1: trying to bring back all kinds of ranch dressing, bottles, whatever.
- 17:03Speaker 1: And they're also surprised by how friendly Americans are towards
- 17:09Speaker 1: people that are coming in, where usually we tend to
- 17:14Speaker 1: not be particularly friendly towards especially these days. But they
- 17:19Speaker 1: are thrilled they don't have fried chicken, for example, although
- 17:25Speaker 1: they do. You know Kentucky Fried Chicken or KFC. Do
- 17:28Speaker 1: you know that was the first the first big franchise
- 17:32Speaker 1: that went oversea, for example, the first one in.
- 17:34Speaker 2: China was KFC.
- 17:37Speaker 1: And in China, I don't know if you've ever been
- 17:39Speaker 1: to a KFC in China, you can, you know how
- 17:41Speaker 1: here you can order crispy, you can order spicy, now
- 17:45Speaker 1: you can order regular. In China they have all three
- 17:48Speaker 1: of those, and you have two other choices, with or
- 17:50Speaker 1: without feathers. It's just a different way of eating chicken. Okay,
- 17:59Speaker 1: we're done. I like chicking overseas. And now, of course
- 18:04Speaker 1: they have Burger King and they have McDonald's. The biggest
- 18:07Speaker 1: McDonald's in the world, I think is Beijing now used
- 18:11Speaker 1: to be Russia. Now I want to spend a few
- 18:14Speaker 1: moments talking about what's going on with kids. Well known
- 18:20Speaker 1: that if you have a youngster, and I'm talking about
- 18:22Speaker 1: someone even in elementary school that is chunky and overweight,
- 18:26Speaker 1: you're probably going to find that kid continues to be overweight,
- 18:29Speaker 1: very difficult to start losing weight later on. It's just
- 18:32Speaker 1: the way you're wired, the way you are. Even if
- 18:36Speaker 1: trying to eat healthy food, kids put on weight. I
- 18:40Speaker 1: was a pretty fat kid and that translated into a
- 18:44Speaker 1: pretty fat adult. And if you look at pictures of
- 18:48Speaker 1: me right working here at KFI, if on Instagram or
- 18:53Speaker 1: even the website here, you'll see pictures of me at
- 18:58Speaker 1: over three hundred pounds. I'm one hundred and twenty five
- 19:02Speaker 1: pounds less than I was sent my top weight. So
- 19:06Speaker 1: I underwent bariatric surgery because the golp one drugs did
- 19:11Speaker 1: not exist. I mean, they're fairly recent and they are
- 19:15Speaker 1: miraculously miraculous. This is close to the magic bullet. I'm
- 19:19Speaker 1: going to talk to I've got to talk to Will
- 19:21Speaker 1: cole Schreiber about that. You know, Will, Will's pretty chunky,
- 19:27Speaker 1: a kneeled by the way is or was a heifer,
- 19:31Speaker 1: but he is now undergoing Jerry bariatric surgery.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Also, because when you're.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Fat, you're fat, and when kids are fat, they're fat.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I remember I used to my parents used to go
- 19:45Speaker 1: we'd buy clothes at Sears, and I'd go into the department.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I didn't know that husky pants were fat boy pants.
- 19:54Speaker 2: For years I was husky. Well, you've got know.
- 20:01Speaker 1: It got to the point where I would actually go
- 20:04Speaker 1: into the stores, the big Man stores, the big Man stores,
- 20:09Speaker 1: and on the checks I'd write the fat and huge stores.
- 20:12Speaker 1: And they did not think it was funny. I thought
- 20:17Speaker 1: it was funny, but they didn't. But I digress. The
- 20:20Speaker 1: point is you've got kids who are overweight. Obese, very young,
- 20:26Speaker 1: and their parents are giving them the golp one drugs,
- 20:29Speaker 1: and even doctors are giving kids, elementary school kids GLP
- 20:34Speaker 1: one drugs. Now Here is the problem. They have not
- 20:38Speaker 1: been authorized by the FDA to be used on kids. However,
- 20:45Speaker 1: any doctor can off brand, can prescribe drugs, and you
- 20:51Speaker 1: do it all the time. The fdaa does not certify drugs,
- 20:55Speaker 1: but a doctor can say we're going to use this
- 20:57Speaker 1: for something else. Happens all time, so it's not illegal.
- 21:03Speaker 1: It is allowed for a doctor to prescribe kids golp
- 21:07Speaker 1: one drugs. We don't know because it has been tested
- 21:10Speaker 1: for kids. We don't even know long term what these
- 21:14Speaker 1: drugs are about. But it doesn't matter because the bottom
- 21:18Speaker 1: line is obesity is we think, doctors think, science think
- 21:24Speaker 1: far more dangerous. Obesity is all about diabetes, it's all
- 21:27Speaker 1: about strokes, it's all about heart disease. But I still
- 21:31Speaker 1: believe that if I'm not mistaken with the numbers cardiovascular issues,
- 21:35Speaker 1: heart attacks, heart disease is the number one killer in
- 21:38Speaker 1: the United States, that five hundred thousand people a year.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I mean, not good stuff. And you're going to see
- 21:44Speaker 1: with the GLP one drugs, how many people are losing weight.
- 21:47Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, if you see someone and
- 21:51Speaker 1: you notice there was a chunk of weight loss, oh man,
- 21:56Speaker 1: you've lost a lot of weight. Boy, you look good now.
- 22:00Speaker 1: With incredibly fat people, you could lose forty pounds and
- 22:03Speaker 1: not notice the difference. It's just one of those things.
- 22:08Speaker 1: But chances are there is a GLP one drug or
- 22:13Speaker 1: a GOLP drug that is involved the other thing. One
- 22:17Speaker 1: of the doctors, medical director of this obesity clinic, Pediatric
- 22:22Speaker 1: Obesity Clinic, said, I see kids who have developed type
- 22:27Speaker 1: two diabetes at ten eleven years old, and they need
- 22:33Speaker 1: help so desperately because obesity, not only is it psychologically
- 22:40Speaker 1: a real problem. Especially if you're young, kids make fun
- 22:43Speaker 1: of you. I remember being made fun of by kids
- 22:47Speaker 1: because I was fat, and I'll tell you one of
- 22:49Speaker 1: the things that I'll never forget how I felt. We
- 22:53Speaker 1: used so this is junior high school, middle school, We
- 22:57Speaker 1: used to have pe and take showers. That was mandatory,
- 23:02Speaker 1: and they handed out towels. I mean, can you imagine
- 23:06Speaker 1: today middle school was showers and of course in addition
- 23:09Speaker 1: to flicking the towels, so everybody got weltz or at
- 23:14Speaker 1: least the smaller kids than the fat kids got them.
- 23:18Speaker 1: You know, it is tough, to the point where I
- 23:23Speaker 1: went into a marching band so I wouldn't go into
- 23:26Speaker 1: pe and I played the baritone horn. Well, I didn't
- 23:30Speaker 1: play the baritone horn. I was so bad that they
- 23:32Speaker 1: wouldn't let me play the baritone horn. I was just
- 23:34Speaker 1: marching around. That's a true story. Literally, the band, the
- 23:38Speaker 1: band master and I played trumpet as a kid, said
- 23:40Speaker 1: now you don't want to play, you know, we just
- 23:42Speaker 1: want you to walk around and do part of the
- 23:49Speaker 1: what do they call it when the bands march on
- 23:52Speaker 1: the on the field and do their their thing. So
- 23:57Speaker 1: I'll never forget that. And so I had the bariatric surgery.
- 24:02Speaker 1: If I didn't, I would be on GOLP drugs today.
- 24:06Speaker 1: So the point is young kids, elementary school kids that
- 24:09Speaker 1: are fat. Not only is it psychologically devastating, And you
- 24:14Speaker 1: got bodied dysmorphia. Boy, I wish I were thinner, and
- 24:17Speaker 1: you try and it doesn't work. So doctors are saying,
- 24:21Speaker 1: go for it, and they are going for it, and
- 24:24Speaker 1: in the end does it help. Yeah, because look at
- 24:28Speaker 1: what OVB city is about. Cardiovascular disease, type two diabetes,
- 24:33Speaker 1: high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, liver dysfunction, and
- 24:40Speaker 1: research says that little ones, if you're fat in elementary school,
- 24:46Speaker 1: you probably don't grow out of it. So fat people,
- 24:55Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to be specific about you.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Fat people will, but I think it is.
- 25:00Speaker 2: You Leave him alone, please, I don't you know. I'm
- 25:05Speaker 2: helping him. This is out of love. Well, he's not
- 25:08Speaker 2: here to hear it, so no, it's out it's out
- 25:11Speaker 2: of love. I want.
- 25:13Speaker 1: I want his life to be better, you know what.
- 25:16Speaker 1: His life would be so much better if you weren't
- 25:19Speaker 1: working here and.
- 25:20Speaker 2: I was not making fun of him.
- 25:24Speaker 1: So I'm helping him out because if he goes on
- 25:27Speaker 1: GLP one, I can't make fun of him being fat.
- 25:32Speaker 2: Well, he works here, so I can't afford to go
- 25:34Speaker 2: on GLP one, So you're safe. That's true. Also, yeah,
- 25:38Speaker 2: that's also true. Okay, it's time a good point.
- 25:42Speaker 1: It's time for Rich on tech and we'll talk about
- 25:46Speaker 1: what's going on with tech. Today is a special day
