Speaker 3: it's time for Foody Friday with Neil. But Neil, before
1:46
Speaker 3: we jump into that, there is a Dodger Yes.
1:51
Speaker 2: Yes, So your official home for Dodgers Baseball is AM
1:55
Speaker 2: five seventy LA Sports. Tonight, you're back to back world

Speaker 2: at seven. Listen on AM five seventy LA Sports and
2:07
Speaker 2: streaming on the iHeartRadio app live from the galpin Ford
2:11
Speaker 2: Broadcast booth.
2:13
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get into Foody Friday. And one thing is
2:19
Speaker 3: talk about dollar stores, and dollar stores are no longer
2:24
Speaker 3: dollar or at least the people that go to the
2:27
Speaker 3: dollar stores aren't the poor people anymore. It's really incredible
2:31
Speaker 3: how this has exploded.
2:33
Speaker 2: Oh I love, I love a good dollar store shopping
2:36
Speaker 2: trip and more and more. Used to you know, you
2:39
Speaker 2: used to think of them as just kind of trinkets,
2:41
Speaker 2: little baskets, maybe some glasses, cups and the like. But
2:46
Speaker 2: the dollar stores are battling for supremacy in groceries right
2:53
Speaker 2: now is where they're battling. So you have Dollar Tree
2:56
Speaker 2: and Dollar General, you have Family Dollar, all these different places,
3:00
Speaker 2: but the real competition competition right now is coming from
3:04
Speaker 2: Dollar General, as they're slashing prices even under a dollar
3:08
Speaker 2: and they're doing it primarily with groceries because, as we know,
3:13
Speaker 2: groceries have been going up. You're talking roughly about three
3:17
Speaker 2: hundred dollars more annually on just groceries compared to the
3:21
Speaker 2: previous year. You got rising costs of gas, all kinds
3:25
Speaker 2: of other living expenses, and it adds up. So many
3:29
Speaker 2: have turned to these dollar stores, budget focused retailers and
3:33
Speaker 2: the like. And now Dollar General is slashing a bunch
3:39
Speaker 2: of prices on like about two thousand items, and they're
3:43
Speaker 2: including groceries, they're including household essentials, and you're talking about
3:48
Speaker 2: things that you know, even name brands Jiffy cornbread mix,
3:53
Speaker 2: which if you haven't tried, is fantastic boxes of pasta,
3:57
Speaker 2: Campbell's soup, Kellogg's cereal.
4:00
Speaker 3: Hey, I have a question, and that is produce, particularly produced,
4:05
Speaker 3: which is probably the hardest thing to buy and keep.
4:09
Speaker 3: Is this gently used produce, previously eaten produce? Are these
4:16
Speaker 3: seconds where they're not quite Gelson's quality.
4:20
Speaker 2: Here's the thing with produce. Americans are very focused on aesthetics.
4:30
Speaker 2: Esthetics don't mean I mean sometimes you know, watermelons, you
4:33
Speaker 2: don't want a bunch of scars on them, things like that.
4:36
Speaker 2: But there's some produce that is misshapen or it's they
4:41
Speaker 2: like to have all the same size. In most grocery
4:44
Speaker 2: stars and stores and things like that. Apples can come
4:47
Speaker 2: in different shapes and sizes and they're all perfectly good,
4:51
Speaker 2: but we tend to go for the ones that are
4:53
Speaker 2: symmetrical and all kind of look the same. But the
4:56
Speaker 2: reality is there's tons of different shapes in them, so
4:59
Speaker 2: those aren't second spiny, stretch, nutritionally any of those things.
5:04
Speaker 2: I laugh all the time when people come to me
5:07
Speaker 2: and think that brown eggs are more nutritional than white
5:11
Speaker 2: eggs or things like that that have nothing to do
5:15
Speaker 2: with nutritional value. But we are just very esthetically focused.
5:21
Speaker 2: So there's all kinds of things. Plus they have different
5:24
Speaker 2: supply chains all things like that. I've never had a
5:27
Speaker 2: problem buying produce or anything like that at a dollar store.
5:31
Speaker 3: Yeah. One of the things when you talk about American shoppers.
5:33
Speaker 3: And I'm going to give you a personal example bananas.
5:37
Speaker 3: For me, I cannot stand one iota of a bruised banana,
5:43
Speaker 3: and they have to be a just a certain firmness.
5:48
Speaker 3: And the window that works for me is about ten
5:52
Speaker 3: minutes before not after.
5:55
Speaker 2: Yes, you don't make any banana bread in your house.
6:00
Speaker 3: No, I really don't do too much.
6:03
Speaker 2: So when they do get that way and they get
6:07
Speaker 2: that show that's the sugar content, by the way, on
6:10
Speaker 2: the outside that that so called bruising is ripening over
6:15
Speaker 2: ripening to where the sugar is higher in there. What
6:18
Speaker 2: we do in our house we peel them. We take
6:20
Speaker 2: those very mushy bananas, we mush them with a fork
6:25
Speaker 2: and you mush them all down and you put them
6:27
Speaker 2: in zip lock bags, take the air out of them,
6:29
Speaker 2: put them in the freezer. And when you're in the
6:30
Speaker 2: mood to make banana muffins banana bread, then you take
6:33
Speaker 2: them out, you thomb and you make banana bread with them.
6:36
Speaker 3: Hmm. That's work though.
6:40
Speaker 2: Don't you just go like this and then someone comes running?
6:44
Speaker 1: Yeah?
6:45
Speaker 3: Pretty much, not anymore, Not anymore. My lifestyle has changed
6:49
Speaker 3: so much since I've married Lindsay. All right, coming up
6:53
Speaker 3: a couple of more topics. America's favorite cheese not I'm
6:57
Speaker 3: interested in. And then the apple pie from make the
7:00
Speaker 3: Donald's is back, and that is a big deal. You
7:04
Speaker 3: wonder why that hasn't been on the menu all the
7:06
Speaker 3: time because it's so popular. We'll be right back with
7:09
Speaker 3: Neil Savedra and the Fork Report at the bottom of
7:14
Speaker 3: or Foody Friday. Fork Reports tomorrow, of course, with Neil
7:17
Speaker 3: ask handle anything at the bottom of the the bottom
7:20
Speaker 3: of the hour where we finish the show every Friday.
7:24
Speaker 3: Fie Am six forty is Juneteenth, on a Friday celebrating
7:29
Speaker 3: commemorating the day when the last slaves in America were freed,
7:35
Speaker 3: three years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Actually told they were
7:40
Speaker 3: freed by a union general. Okay, back we go with
7:44
Speaker 3: Foody Friday. Friday on Neil and Neil. The original McDonald's
7:50
Speaker 3: apple Pie is back and it is so popular. Why
7:56
Speaker 3: isn't it there full time?
7:58
Speaker 2: Indeed, it is back, and it's not the first time
8:00
Speaker 2: they brought it back. They brought it back before with
8:02
Speaker 2: much fanfare. The interesting thing is they switched from the
8:07
Speaker 2: You remember the crispy deep Fried one. Yes, that's when
8:11
Speaker 2: they are so good. Yeah, it is a source of
8:14
Speaker 2: energy into itself. It is hotter than the sun, and
8:19
Speaker 2: we all loved it. Then it went away and they
8:22
Speaker 2: went to the Baked Ones. I remember being slightly disappointed
8:25
Speaker 2: when they moved to the Baked Ones, but now I
8:28
Speaker 2: like them. I don't know if i'd want to go back.
8:31
Speaker 2: So it's going to be interesting. They've brought it back.
8:35
Speaker 2: It hasn't been around since I think the nineties. Sometimes
8:39
Speaker 2: this happens every now and again, these places will remove them.
8:44
Speaker 2: I have to imagine it's something. The Baked Ones. They
8:49
Speaker 2: can just sit under a lamp for a while and
8:52
Speaker 2: sometimes you can tell that they have. There's got to
8:54
Speaker 2: be something in the process or the cost of deep
9:00
Speaker 2: buying them, or the way they hold that made them change.
9:05
Speaker 2: Because they're doing well, there's no reason for them to change,
9:10
Speaker 2: it's all going to be about money and or liability.
9:14
Speaker 2: Maybe they were too hot, maybe they were worried about
9:17
Speaker 2: being sued. Who the heck knows.
9:20
Speaker 3: Hey, whenever these large fast food change do something that
9:26
Speaker 3: you go, why would you not have it year round?
9:30
Speaker 3: Is the reason? Because they want to generate people who
9:33
Speaker 3: have not gone in a while and increase sales. And
9:36
Speaker 3: the example I give one of McDonald's most popular items
9:40
Speaker 3: is their rib sandwich, which is not quite meat and
9:46
Speaker 3: it's extruded and it's absolutely delicious. I've always loved it.
9:51
Speaker 3: It has a certain flavor about with the little bits
9:53
Speaker 3: of onion on it. I just love that. And when's
9:55
Speaker 3: it coming back.
9:57
Speaker 2: Well, see that comes back more regularly. This particular stint
10:02
Speaker 2: for the McDonald's old school og apple pie is deep
10:06
Speaker 2: Fried comes June twenty third, and it's probably only going
10:11
Speaker 2: to bring you around for a couple of weeks. And
10:14
Speaker 2: I think you're right. There's something about the nostalgia they
10:16
Speaker 2: want to get you, and if you haven't been for
10:18
Speaker 2: a while, they kind of say, hey, look you remember
10:21
Speaker 2: this when you were a kid and it was so delicious,
10:24
Speaker 2: Come on in and you're not going to just buy
10:26
Speaker 2: the pie, You're going to end up buying something else,
10:28
Speaker 2: maybe trying their coffee, which is really good, and trying
10:32
Speaker 2: McDonald's out again and trying to break into your habits
10:36
Speaker 2: and patterns.
10:37
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do one last one because I wanted to
10:39
Speaker 3: get to this. And that's America America's favorite cheese. And
10:42
Speaker 3: let me guessvelvita, which is not actually cheese. It's a
10:46
Speaker 3: cheese cheese food product, no actual cheese at all involved.
10:52
Speaker 2: It's cheese flavored. No, what's America's favorite cheese? Heather Brooker was,
10:58
Speaker 2: you know, she's all big in the new and stuff
11:00
Speaker 2: like that. Heather, did you hear the story about the
11:04
Speaker 2: French cheese factory that exploded? No, got nothing left but debris? No, sorry,
11:12
Speaker 2: it's father's dack.
11:13
Speaker 3: I totally fell for that. Yeah, you maybe put my
11:16
Speaker 3: headphones on that and.
11:20
Speaker 2: Yad jokes. All right, So it turns out it's cheddar.
11:24
Speaker 2: And if that makes sense, you can hear Gary Hoffman go,
11:29
Speaker 2: he's a big.
11:32
Speaker 3: I mean we and our cheddar here in the States
11:34
Speaker 3: is very different. For example, the cheddar in England, which
11:38
Speaker 3: is much harder, and it is white, and it is
11:42
Speaker 3: much sharper but I can see that. I with my
11:45
Speaker 3: ham and cheese, I use cheddar.
11:47
Speaker 2: Have you ever tried carry gold their age dar? I
11:51
Speaker 2: was just thinking about carry gold is fantastic and Theotish
11:56
Speaker 2: or Irish right Irish Irish so carry gold with their
12:00
Speaker 2: Irish butter, which is to die for it. Yeah, yeah,
12:07
Speaker 2: but they that's one following a Cheddar cheese taste test.
12:11
Speaker 2: And Cracker Barrel has their Vermont sharp white, and Tillamook
12:17
Speaker 2: of course has their sharp cheddar, which I love as well.
12:20
Speaker 3: And you can buy at Costco. Yes, they have that.
12:25
Speaker 3: And they have medium cheddar in slices which I buy
12:29
Speaker 3: all the time.
12:30
Speaker 2: Now, which they also went to see the favorite cheese
12:37
Speaker 2: is ranked, and it's cheddar seventy seven percent, mozzarella seventy four,
12:42
Speaker 2: parmer Gano reggiano sixty four, American cheese sixty three percent,
12:46
Speaker 2: cream cheese fifty nine, Provolone is fifty four, Monterey Jack
12:51
Speaker 2: fifty three, Colby fifty two, pepper Jack fifty two, Swiss
12:55
Speaker 2: fifty one. I'm not crazy about Swiss. I do like
12:58
Speaker 2: an occasionally on a chicken sandwich or something, but.
13:01
Speaker 3: Just well, Breing's kind of weird. But baby Swiss which
13:06
Speaker 3: is different than Swiss. For some reason, it tastes different,
13:10
Speaker 3: and I really enjoy babies.
13:11
Speaker 2: I'll what the difference is.
13:12
Speaker 3: Quite honestly, it's small. It's smaller. It's like it's babies.
13:17
Speaker 3: It has not it hasn't quite grown up, but it's
13:20
Speaker 3: age at a less less time. I'm sorry, go ahead.
13:23
Speaker 2: I don't feel good about them taking the baby Swiss
13:28
Speaker 2: from the mother so young.
13:30
Speaker 3: It Yeah, okay, I knew we were gonna go there someplace,
13:33

13:46
Speaker 2: at a great bar in Santa Monica that has magicians,
13:51
Speaker 2: has a great feed. It sounds like fine, it'd be
13:54
Speaker 2: good treat. Maybe a last gift for Father's Day.
13:56
Speaker 3: Even Yeah, I've seen him, I've seen him. It's a
14:00
Speaker 3: huge Yeah, fruity Friday. Here's the sandwich that you make

14:48
Speaker 3: of the Civil War slaves who were told they were
14:52
Speaker 3: free three years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Okay, Oh, other
14:57
Speaker 3: big news. The Memorial reflecting pool. Remember those paint painted blue.
15:02
Speaker 3: It is now green with algae, except for MAGA followers
15:06
Speaker 3: who say it is blue just blue because green is blue.
15:10
Speaker 3: Blue is green if it is said to us, I
15:12
Speaker 3: thought it was silly to talk about the algae.
15:15
Speaker 2: But you know what I heard last night, which I
15:18
Speaker 2: think is legitimate, is the blue paint is actually peeling up.
15:23
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, it's not even it's not even though
15:26
Speaker 3: even though a reporter picked up a huge piece of it,
15:30
Speaker 3: that's yeah, that's not true. None of that is true. Okay,
15:33
Speaker 3: it is time for ask Handle Anything. You record questions,
15:38
Speaker 3: Neil chooses the question to ask me, and it's all
15:43
Speaker 3: about embarrassing me and Neil throwing those questions out. So
15:47
Speaker 3: let's go. Sam is here filling in for Cono until Monday.
15:50
Speaker 3: All right, Sam, First question.
15:53
Speaker 6: Mister Handel. I understand that you started yoga, So the
15:57
Speaker 6: obvious question is this, what is the endgame of the
16:02
Speaker 6: yoga as far as what it will provide or do
16:05
Speaker 6: for you?
16:07
Speaker 3: Nothing does that help?
16:12
Speaker 2: It's just isn't it just an excuse for you to
16:15
Speaker 2: pass gas in public with nobody?
16:17
Speaker 6: You know what?
16:17
Speaker 3: I go to a yoga class where that is not
16:20
Speaker 3: the case Anyway. Yoga is It's one of the hardest
16:24
Speaker 3: things I've ever done, but it's it's keep myself reasonably
16:27
Speaker 3: in shape because I'm getting really old and losing balance
16:31
Speaker 3: and getting completely decrepit. Okay, next question, My.
16:36
Speaker 5: Question for Bill is actually for the rest of the room.
16:41
Speaker 5: Is Bill really a jerk? Or is he more like
16:46
Speaker 5: Jack Benny or Don Rickles, you know, a jerk in
16:50
Speaker 5: public but really nice behind the scenes.
16:53
Speaker 3: Okay, start with Neil. Okay, good question, Neil, geez jerk?
16:58
Speaker 3: Yes or no?
17:00
Speaker 5: Yeah?
17:00
Speaker 2: I actually think you are genuinely a jerk.
17:02
Speaker 3: You're a very.
17:03
Speaker 2: Generous man, but I'm a jerk, okay, unaware of other people.
17:07
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, and you're the one that knows me almost
17:10
Speaker 3: the best. It's weird because some things are a total
17:16
Speaker 3: jerk and some things you're like the sweetest guy, which
17:19
Speaker 3: throws me off sometimes, but that's I do that on purpose,
17:21
Speaker 3: just to throw you off. Heather doesn't know me well enough.
17:25
Speaker 3: And Will doesn't know me well enough. Jerk, all right,
17:29
Speaker 3: all right, And I've worked with Sam for a bunch
17:31
Speaker 3: of years on handling the lot. Jerk.
17:33
Speaker 7: No, you're a little bit of a comrudgeon, but that's
17:36
Speaker 7: not okay, okay, fine, and Will not that I care,
17:39
Speaker 7: but buy a jerk. Okay, thank you? All right, moving
17:45
Speaker 7: on and Heather, she's already said.
17:49
Speaker 8: Next question, Bill handle, mister Potts and parents. Question, is
17:57
Speaker 8: your friend Neil a gourmett Does he use your pots
18:02
Speaker 8: and pans or are they not of the quality that
18:05
Speaker 8: he prefers?
18:06
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know, Neil. Do you use the platinum.
18:09
Speaker 2: Quickwar I wouldn't call me a gourmet, but yes I do.
18:14
Speaker 2: You should go that. Yeah, the grill pan is I
18:16
Speaker 2: think one of the best pans I own. I don't own.
18:19
Speaker 2: I don't use any one set. I believe in breaking
18:22
Speaker 2: things up and using multiple But I would say we
18:26
Speaker 2: use ah, we would use one of your pants. Okay,
18:32
Speaker 2: every day enough, absolutely easy to say.
18:35
Speaker 3: Okay. And by the way, a lot of that answer
18:37
Speaker 3: is because he got it for free. Okay. Next question,
18:41
Speaker 3: you're talking about Eli Must. He's a trillionaire. Let me
18:44
Speaker 3: ask you a question.
18:45
Speaker 2: If you were a trillionaire, would you stop shopping at Costco?
18:49
Speaker 3: No? Would you stop at Amazon?
18:52
Speaker 9: No?
18:52
Speaker 5: Hell? That kind of money you could buy one you
18:54
Speaker 5: could buy?
18:54
Speaker 3: No, No, No, Elon Must doesn't sound how much is
18:58
Speaker 3: Elon Must bend on? He didn't even own a house,
19:02
Speaker 3: So shopping at Costco? I mean I can afford not
19:04
Speaker 3: to shop at Costco. Stopping shopping at Costco is a
19:07
Speaker 3: religious experience. It's like going to Lords for Catholics.
19:13
Speaker 2: Would you buy at Costco if you could?
19:16
Speaker 3: No, I would just shop at a Costco.
19:18

Speaker 2: No, No, Lindsay, and I have another idea for help. No,
20:40
Speaker 2: that's great, like not like on a cruise.
20:43
Speaker 3: Ship do they have like a captain's not anymore? No
20:45
Speaker 3: one does that anymore.
20:47
Speaker 9: No.
20:47
Speaker 3: Years ago you used to have a captain's table. You know,
20:52
Speaker 3: I no longer. I've done a million cruises because I
20:56
Speaker 3: just happened to love cruising and I used to be
21:00
Speaker 3: and I go on the same cruise. I do commercials
21:02
Speaker 3: for one of the cruise lines, which I go on
21:03
Speaker 3: all the time. And I was always invited to the
21:07
Speaker 3: captain's table always, and I always sent a response back
21:13
Speaker 3: because it was an invitation on a card. I would
21:16
Speaker 3: always send it back saying, no, I'm not going to
21:20
Speaker 3: show up at the captain's table. I don't want to
21:22
Speaker 3: eat with a help. Okay, let's take a break. We
21:27
Speaker 3: will return. By the way, it's absolutely true, absolutely true.
21:31
Speaker 3: That's the way I responded, And so I never sat
21:33
Speaker 3: at the captain's table. No desire to. Okay, we'll take
21:37
Speaker 3: a break, come back and do more, ask candle or anything.
21:40
Speaker 3: We'll finish it up. I handle here on a Friday,
21:45
Speaker 3: June nineteenth. This Juneteenth, the national holiday. We're looking at
21:50
Speaker 3: some stories. Oh, if you're a California property owner, which
21:53
Speaker 3: a good number of people are, be prepared for insurance
21:58
Speaker 3: home insurance to jump sixteen percent almost immediately. Congratulations, we
22:04
Speaker 3: live in California. Okay, we finish up, ask handle anything,
22:08
Speaker 3: which we do on Friday. You record questions. Neil chooses
22:12
Speaker 3: the question to make sure if possible, to embarrass me. Okay,
22:18
Speaker 3: let's do it, Sam. Next question.
22:21
Speaker 4: Okay, Bill, So the question is you had ruin why
22:25
Speaker 4: done several decades ago, and Neil just had the band.
22:29
Speaker 4: If you could go back and do the band, would
22:32
Speaker 4: you versus the ruin? Why? The second question is what
22:36
Speaker 4: was your biggest fear going into the surgery? And you
22:39
Speaker 4: can give that to Neil as well.
22:42
Speaker 3: Okay, if I had to go back, would I change it?
22:47
Speaker 3: Are you kidding? If I had to go back, I'd
22:49
Speaker 3: redo my circumcision much less change the bariatric surgery instantly.
22:55
Speaker 3: The ruin why is the cutting of the stomach. I
22:59
Speaker 3: mean they literally cut the stomach out, and Neil has
23:04
Speaker 3: the band, that sleeve band.
23:07
Speaker 2: The sleeve, the basically different band is a physical band.
23:10
Speaker 2: So what Bill had? The ruin?
23:12
Speaker 6: Why?
23:12
Speaker 2: Is an actual gastric bypass, not only cutting the stomach
23:16
Speaker 2: but rewiring your guts. It is the gold standard. What
23:21
Speaker 2: I had is just under that, and it's just the
23:24
Speaker 2: cutting of the stomach and shrinking it into a banana
23:27
Speaker 2: shape so that I can still process myney.
23:30
Speaker 3: Okay, So it is too early to tell you. If
23:33
Speaker 3: you too early for you to say, I'll.
23:34
Speaker 2: Tell you I had zero pain, zero problems. The folks
23:38
Speaker 2: at Cedars did an amazing job, and I did so
23:41
Speaker 2: much research, talked to handle and other friends and family
23:44
Speaker 2: that have done it. I had zero. I walked in
23:47
Speaker 2: there like it was nothing. I didn't.
23:49
Speaker 3: So Neil is gonna instead of Neil being four hundred pounds,
23:53
Speaker 3: he's going to go down to nothing. All right, Next question.
23:58
Speaker 6: Bill the morning. You know, every time you have all
24:01
Speaker 6: these like cases, I don't know whether it's murder or
24:05
Speaker 6: whatever something like that, or wherever death is involved, there's
24:09
Speaker 6: often the defense of insanity or some temporary sanity something
24:13
Speaker 6: like that. My question to you is what is the
24:17
Speaker 6: legal definition of mental insanity?
24:20
Speaker 1: Okay?
24:20
Speaker 6: And or mental illness?
24:22
Speaker 3: Okay, that's easy. It's a it's based on a case
24:26
Speaker 3: back in the eighteen hundreds, late eighteen hundreds, and it's
24:28
Speaker 3: the mgnoton case. And what the definition of insanity is
24:33
Speaker 3: Either you have no idea of what you're doing, you
24:37
Speaker 3: don't know what you're doing when you commit the crime murder,
24:40
Speaker 3: or you can't appreciate what's right from wrong, and once
24:45
Speaker 3: you meet that standard, you're guilty. You're not guilty by
24:48
Speaker 3: reason of insanity. Is it an It's very high. It's
24:51
Speaker 3: an insanely high bar to meet. Very few people can
24:55
Speaker 3: get away with that.
24:56
Speaker 2: What do they do with them? They're no longer.
24:58
Speaker 3: Then they're they're right. What they do is they put
25:01
Speaker 3: them in a mental institution. Theoretically, once the doctors there
25:07
Speaker 3: determine that they're back from the brink, that they are
25:11
Speaker 3: not mentally insane, they can be released into in the public.
25:17
Speaker 3: But it's decades and decades before that can happen. So
25:24
Speaker 3: you're basically put away in a mental institution for the
25:26
Speaker 3: rest of your life, effectively, which is better than prison.
25:30
Speaker 3: And then you have nurse Ratchet to deal with, which
25:32
Speaker 3: is always fun. Stick out your tongue. Okay, next question,
25:38
Speaker 3: good question too.
25:39
Speaker 9: By the way, Hey Bill, here's the question we all
25:41
Speaker 9: want to know. How many times a week or per
25:44
Speaker 9: day do you use the cough button to cover up
25:47
Speaker 9: a fart, not just a cough, but you know, cover
25:50
Speaker 9: up your guess.
25:51
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't. Why would I do that? As
25:54
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, Better than that, what I do
25:57
Speaker 3: is I take my microphone and put it right near
26:01
Speaker 3: my ass. So, yeah, we do not cover up parts
26:05
Speaker 3: on this show. It's a live show. Yeah yeah. And
26:10
Speaker 3: I yeah, I've never even used the cough button because
26:14
Speaker 3: the cough button I always thought was a metal hand
26:18
Speaker 3: coming out from underneath the desk, grabbing the nerds and
26:23
Speaker 3: saying turn your head left and cough will That's not
26:28
Speaker 3: the case. I've never used the cough button, so I
26:30
Speaker 3: always thought that was how it works. No, okay, we
26:34
Speaker 3: have another question.
26:35
Speaker 2: Do they still do that hurting you test anymore?
26:38
Speaker 3: No? Unfortunately no, because I really enjoyed the doctor doing
26:42
Speaker 3: that to me. All Right, we do have another one.
26:46
Speaker 10: This message is for ask me anything for Bill. I
26:50
Speaker 10: remember listening to KFI a very long time ago when
26:54
Speaker 10: Doctor Waura was still on the air, and I remember
26:58
Speaker 10: that Doctor Laura and Bill we're pretty good friends. I
27:02
Speaker 10: think you might have done some remotes together or something
27:05
Speaker 10: like that. So my question is are you still friends?
27:09
Speaker 3: No, we're not. We have not talked to each other
27:12
Speaker 3: in many, many years, ever since she left her syndicated program.
27:19
Speaker 3: So the quick answer is no, and the long answer
27:23
Speaker 3: is no, we haven't. Okay, that's it for Friday tomorrow.
27:30
Speaker 3: Is Handle on the Law where I give you marginal
27:34
