  Speaker 2: 112 together? I know. Barely.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Barely.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: With wet hair. With wet hair and bricks for shoes. Uh-huh.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Speaking of slim and svelte, Amy, how are you?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'm great. Except I think all the weight you guys
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: are losing, I'm gaining.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: You are not gaining weight. The funniest thing, if you've
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: ever seen Amy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Kay King's high school graduation picture. It looks like it
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was taken yesterday.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Have you not seen that? It's hilarious. It's hilarious. I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: want to see it. Yeah, it is hilarious. The vampirist herself.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And of course, my buddy, old pal from the IE,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: one love. Kona, what's shaking? What's up, Neil? How you doing, buddy?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: You... Look, skinny.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Say marvelous. You look marvelous. But you are.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I can't play fat songs anymore, I don't think.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I'm still a big guy. I'm 210 pounds right now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: What were you? I think I was 255 when I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: went in for surgery. Before, when I went into surgery
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: for my kidney, I must have been 260, almost 270. Yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you look skinny. You look different, like a different guy.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Doesn't he?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I was saying that last week, and I'm like, I'm
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: looking at your face, and you look different.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Well, that's because he has a regular colored beard. It's
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: not orange or purple.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have a blue beard.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Now, and you're skinnier this week than you were last week.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I probably lost some weight. Yeah, no, definitely.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: How long do you keep losing weight?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I think you can keep losing weight up to 12
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to 18 months, but it slows down. I mean, the first—
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The first couple months, it's a pound a day easy, pound,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: pound and a half a day. And you're going, what
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the hell? For those that don't know, I had bariatric
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: sleeve surgery, not the Roux-en-Y, which Handel had 25 years ago.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That's the Cadillac. That's when they not only, you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: they shrink all the size of the streets, they tie
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: them in a knot. It's like your stomach gets smaller
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and then they actually bypass the I did not get that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I still could if I needed it, but I'm real
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: happy with the way this is going. I don't think
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you need it. Cedars-Sinai did great. Yeah, but my goal
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: is to get under two. My old fighting weight back
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: in the martial arts days was 180. Oh, yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So that would be pretty small for me now, and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I would look a little bit like Nancy Reagan with the– Yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you get the big head and the small body. I'm sorry,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: but I've got a big fat head. And that's hard
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to get down. But yes, my goatee is normal. This
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: would be my normal color if I were not gray.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Shall we get to anybody got any news? You want
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: to talk about eagles anymore? You want to go into
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the fifth hour of eagles, Amy?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: No, we're good. We have September 4th as California Wildlife
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Day in remembrance of big, Bear, bald, eagle, Jackie. It's official.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Passed in the state legislature.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And Shadow got rid of the tart that was all
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: up in his business?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: She's not a tart. And her name is Katie. Oh.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: And she's still hanging around the nest.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I could have sworn it was Lindsay. Go ahead. I kid.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He's not here.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: She is much younger. She is much younger. Shadow's like 12.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And Katie's like four and a half. So she's just
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: getting to the point where she might be looking for
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: a husband.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Didn't she kill Jackie?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: No. You know what? She did not. First of all,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Jackie was very sick before she got in the fight
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: with the eagles.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, we all saw the video.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: That was not Katie.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It was a different eagle. Were those eagles their spawn?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: No. They're not her kids.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, so she gets jumped, and you say it's not
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: one of the ones that jumped her, but maybe... You know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: we can honestly say I don't know how many eagles
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: run in what circles, but there have been her friends.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: They might have been.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: She says, I want an in with that shadow. Well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: she loves fame.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It just sounds similar. There's so.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: She wants to move in, right? And she's like, oh,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I would do this with the twigs.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I would move them over here. She totally is. She's
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: coming in and picking around in the nest. And Shadow's
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: looking at her like, excuse me, ma'am.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because she wanted to change everything. Oh, it'd be
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: so great. My friends could come over. Why don't we
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: put a pool here?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: We'll all jump in naked.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It'll be great. And he's like, no. And I was
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: on with Conway on Friday. And I told him, because
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: he was talking about this, and I said, I'm going
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to give you a little Spanish lesson of why Shadow
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: is booting her out. A little Spanish lesson. Amy, do
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you know how to say wife in Spanish?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Esposa.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Esposa.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Do you know how to say handcuffs in Spanish?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Esposas. Esposas.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Is that actually true?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That is actually true.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: That's funny. How do you say ball and chain?
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: You say esposa. Ah. So it's... I'm just saying that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: he's like, man, I just got out of something. We've
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: been doing a reality show for years without our consent.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And without compensation. Yeah.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So I think he just wants a normal life and
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: she comes in with a, you know... Pottery Barn catalog.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And she's like, this is so darling and fall is coming.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And I want to I want to get ready for Halloween.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: And she's like, you know, P.S. lattes and all this stuff.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And he's like, I just listen, man, I'm 12. I'm
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: not six anymore. I just want some me time. All right,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: shall we get into some Handle on the News?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, let's.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Let's get into some Handle on the News with me,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Neal Saverger. Hello. And Amy K. King. Yes, that's her
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: full name.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Lead story. What a freaking story. Now, I know that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we've been watching horrific videos of what's going on in
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Nepal and beautiful part of the world by the way
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Nepal I loved my wife and I went to Nepal
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and it was gorgeous uh but now here right here
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: at home not far from us actually uh the National
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Park Service is uh has recovered the body of a
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: 46 year old man after a significant flash flood in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the Grand Canyon on Saturday so this came down and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I'm still attached to all of our new stuff here
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: um from when I was in management, where you get
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: all this stuff fed to you, like our producers and everything,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: and was just blown away at the thought of this.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And it's not the first time I've heard of something
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: like this, but it seemed to come out of the blue.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And although the man's identity has not been released, you're
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: looking at searching for another 15 people or so, even
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: asking the public saying, did you know anybody that was camping,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: hiking or any of this? Because that's what they're going
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to be looking for. And have you guys been to
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the Grand Canyon?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Not recently.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But it's it's insane. It is hard to comprehend it
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: not being a painting. Like when you go, you're like,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: this looks like a painting. And excuse me, there is
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a bizarre desire to jump off. Did you have that?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: It's really weird. There's this desire to fly in there
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: or something. Maybe it's just me. But it was, I
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: don't know, a very impactful thing when you see Mother
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Nature so grandiose right in front of your face, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it's a hole. I don't know. So they are coming
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: out saying if you know any hikers or backpackers that
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: were in bright angle. Is that Angel?
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Bright Angel Camp, I believe.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at that. That doesn't look right. Bright Angel
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Creek Corridor on August 29th. Or if you add campground
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: reservations in that area to let them know. Sad. We'll
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: be talking about that a little bit later.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: So much for the pause. U.S. forces have hit Iranian
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: rocket launchers on the Strait of Hormuz. Forces with the
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Revolutionary Guard were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: mines into the Strait. That's according to CENTCOM spokesperson Tim Hawkins.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: A short time later, explosions were heard near Larrick Island
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: on the Strait. They're calling it limited precise action against
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: the Iranians trying to relay mines, which the U.S. just
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: finished clearing out of the Strait in the international shipping routes.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Of course, Iran is calling an act of aggression, said
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: they would respond. They did respond by firing off some
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: missiles and drones at Jordan. Those were all intercepted.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: And so it goes. Interesting article we'll be getting into,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I think, in the second hour or the third hour
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: rather today is a story by someone who was in
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: George W. 's administration. In Obama's administration, in Trump's and
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: in Biden's, that has an interesting perspective on the war
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: as it stands with Iran. We'll talk about that a
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: little bit later. So Nepal on high alert. Fresh flooding
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: coming after river levels rise. Death toll is past 900.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So residents there, and it is like a movie. I
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: know Handel was talking about this, and Amy was the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: other day. When you see that mud wall come over,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and you know, no one survived that. There's just no way.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was this mud wall and washed away people,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and you gasped the same way you would if it
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: was a Hollywood movie. You have to say that because
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: not all movies are Hollywood anymore. Less and less.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Let's make a deal with Venezuela. Well, we did. Venezuelan
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: interim president Delcy Rodriguez says an energy agreement with the U.S.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: will be in place for 25 years. It'll target an
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: increase in crude output to 1.5 million barrels a day.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: She calls it historic and says it's going to help
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: revive the Venezuelan economy and boost government revenue. And that
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: will help shape the country's future. Of course, the country
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: pretty much devastated and I don't know. Yeah. Destroyed.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Devastated by definition. There's not a comma after that, really,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I suppose. Yeah.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: So President Trump announced on Friday that the U.S. is
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: going to take partial control of Venezuela's oil reserves and
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: secure majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Venezuela's oil reserves through a partnership with private business. So
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I know they've got Chevron and some other oil companies
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: going in. They're going to revive the oil industry. And
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: we're going to take it for our reserves, our strategic
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: reserves that have been decimated.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Swell. Well, we'll take it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, we will.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So rotting food. Nasty, right? Nobody wants rotting food unless, unless.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why lineage out there in Boyle
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Heights didn't do it. Talk to anybody about this. Unless
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: you're composting. Okay. The city wants me to put rotten,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: nasty food into a bin with no bag and then
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: put it into my green bin, which makes it nasty smelling.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And that's good. But the evil corporations, when they compost, okay,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I'll be it after a fire and it's disgusting and toxic. But, okay,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: that analogy sucks. But they were grappling there with my
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters out there in Boyle Heights, rancid odors,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: missed deadlines. I think the deadline was, what, August 14th originally,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and here we are at the end of August now.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: South Coast Air Quality Management District said the company's removal
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: of the food waste marked the completion of a major
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: phase of the cleanup process that dragged– on for more
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: than two months. And if you remember, because it was June,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: late June when that fire was out. So that's the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: good news. Then if you were listening to Amy this
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: morning on wake up call, now you've got Simi Valley
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: people upset.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because they've been apparently taking it to a landfill
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: in Simi Valley and it's stinking up the place.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, yeah. Same thing we do with the homeless.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Kind of move them around, shuffle them around until the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: stink gets too bad for where they are, and then
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: they shuffle them around somewhere else. All right.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Cashing in on CalSheet. A former White House teleprompter operator
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: is accused of using inside knowledge to make bets on CalSheet,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the prediction market, And then now has been ordered to
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: turn over more than $ 100, 000 in profits and pay a
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: $ 65, 000 fine as part of a settlement with federal authorities.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: They found that Gabriel Perez made $ 107, 500 on prediction markets
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: by betting on words and phrases. that would appear in
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: President Trump's speeches between December of 2025 and February of 2026.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: What a racket. What a racket.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: So we had talked about this story when it first
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: came out, but this is just kind of summing up
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: what's going on now at this point. But man, you
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: could hear that guy walking with those big brass balls.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Through the halls of the White House doing something like that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: He's like, and I think he's going to say Big
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Lee three times. And it's like, holy smokes.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: And then he was praying, don't go off script. Don't
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: go off script.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the one time. I mean, you could do that
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: with Obama. I mean, Obama read every line on that teleprompter.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: But Trump, you don't know when he just kind of
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: leans to the side and everyone goes, uh-oh. Alrighty, speaking
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: of Trump, and we just were, he can't deport students
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: for criticizing Israel. So says this judge. They cited the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: importance of the First Amendment, of course, but keep in
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: mind these students are non-citizens. That are here. And you
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: can't unconstitutionally silence critics of Israel and the war in
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Gaza and others as part of the Trump administration's quest
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: on this. Now, I understand this and I agree. You
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: are kind of under the protection of the Constitution when
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you're here, even as a visitor. But where– is there
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: any point where we would? Like if I think, if
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: a student comes here and starts burning a flag or something,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: an American flag, or I would say adios. And that's
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: just me saying adios. I'm not saying that they're Mexican.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Just relax. But I'm saying anybody who came here and started,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: like there's a, okay, sorry, scripture pops in my head.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: But there is a scripture about anybody's welcome in the church,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: but they're not welcome to teach. So everybody can come
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: and hear the teachings, but they can't stand up and
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: start teaching their own stuff. So I feel that way
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: as well. If you're an American citizen, absolutely. If you're
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: not a citizen and you're here, you know, as schooling
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, then, yeah, you start criticizing us. Bye.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: split you. That's just me.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: All right. Well, Google's going along with it, partially. Google Maps.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: On Saturday, change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: America as signed or as ordered under an executive order
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: signed by President Trump last week, effective immediately.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Here's the hitch.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: It's only for U.S. users. If Canadians Google it, it's
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: going to say Lake Ontario. And if you do international searches,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: it'll say Lake Ontario and Lake America.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it borders both states, right? Yeah. So,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: fun fact, mallards, long-tailed ducks, buffleheads, golden eyes, all kinds
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of ducks are in that lake.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: On the Ontario side, they'll be referred to as that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: My understanding, and you're the news person, on our side,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: they're all going to be called Donald ducks. Is that true?
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yes or no? Don't shake that one off, Kono. That
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: was solid. A little long.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: That was good.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: All right. This just in, by the way, from one
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: of you lovely listeners, on our talkbacks. And this is great.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: This is from Danny. Danny calls in from... Simi Valley
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: and said, hey, good morning, Neil. Good morning, Amy. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: think what we're having a problem with here in Simi
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Valley is not so much the rancid odor, which is terrible.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: This is we were talking about them moving the waste
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: from Boyle Heights and trucking it over into Simi Valley,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: which does have a dumping area. They say it's not
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: just that. They say that's terrible enough. So says Danny
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: and Simi. But it's the fact that in the past
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: two years, the city has taken on our dump and
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: waste from Altadena and the Palisades fire. And now the
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: dump is taking on from Boyle Heights and it's just
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: getting ridiculous. I think that's the problem. I thought that
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: was great insight. And I appreciate that, Danny, from someone
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: who lives out there saying, hey, it's not just this.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: It's like we're becoming the dumping ground. And that's a
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: problem when you have a dump. I mean, that's true.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: You got a dump, people are going to use it,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and the city's going to use it. Does LA have
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: a dump where we can take things? We've got to, right?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Big Bear has one. It's great. You go take your
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: stuff to the dump. I never did that as a
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: kid that I can remember. All right. Dolly Parton, privately
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: laid to rest. For such a public person, a flashy person,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: this was a family affair. her niece, Lainey May Parton,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: shared a tribute to the country music icon on Instagram
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, August 29th. She wrote that she waited to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: make the post until after Parton was laid to rest yesterday.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: So Friday was the day and she says it still
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't feel real that she's gone. Dolly was one of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: those ones that you just kind of, you can never tell.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: She was 80 years old. She didn't look 80. So
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: you never, you know, She was timeless. Yeah. Right. She
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: just you didn't think even when they were saying you
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: remember her sister came out. Do you remember she she
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: had canceled a few things and then her sister came
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: out and said, it's really bad, guys. It's really bad.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: It's really bad. And Dolly came out and said, it's fine.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And it turns out it was really bad. Uh, but, uh, still,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: still a sad story and, and seeing people we talked
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: about on the fork report, she had a recipe for life.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: If go look for Dolly's recipe for life. Uh, it's
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: very sweet and I'll let you engage, uh, with it
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: on your own, but I found it very sweet.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Amy.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Uh, I just want to mention too, that like Dolly
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: is everywhere now and, uh, nine to five. Is the
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: most streamed movie in America right now.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It was a fun movie.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: It was really fun.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: You remember that time in the 80s where Dabney Coleman,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: the bad guy in this, the boss, was in everything?
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Dabney Coleman was in everything.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: He was really good at being a bad nest.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But he was funny and charming, too.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: So you let it. lie but yeah that i going
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: back to that movie right now it was uh i
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: think i'm gonna go watch.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: It today yeah i'm gonna go watch it i watched
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: it yesterday you did swear and it's fun right it's
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: a little hokey of course it's hokey it's cute the
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: 80s were hokey yeah that's cute oh wow that's cute
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: okay okay a critic movie critic here that's all right
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: not to watch.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: A million mile journey is underway. NASA's newest crown jewel
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: has launched from Cape Canaveral. It is headed into, I
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: would call it deep space, but I don't think it
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: qualifies as deep space. But it's heading out a million miles.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: And a million miles away from Earth, it's going to
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: orbit the Earth. Because it's still in the gravitational pull
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: of the Earth. Isn't that crazy? A million miles away?
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: A million miles.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: A million miles. Yeah. Yeah. So it's the $ 4. 3 billion
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Roman space telescope. It launched shortly after daybreak yesterday on
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: a triple the firepower Falcon heavy rocket. Cause it's got
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: a long way to go. So when it gets there,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: it'll start sending back pictures that are going to, you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: give us more glimpses into planets and other stars and,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: dark energy, and will survey the cosmos like never before.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Speaking of which, speaking of dark energy, Handel is not
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: with us today. It's just me and the morning crew.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: All right, Supreme Leader's home. I could use a sandow.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Hello?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: But Iran's Supreme Leader called on Muslim countries to stand
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: together against Israel and the United States, imploring them to
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: know your real enemy. God, I don't like those people.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: And I don't mean Iranians. I don't mean Arabs. I
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: don't mean– I mean the Muslim countries that think we're
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: the devil. I don't think they're the devil. When I
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: hear someone say Muslim terrorist, I don't care about the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Muslim part. I care about the terrorist part. That's the
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: dangerous part is the terrorism part. I don't care if
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: they said Christian terrorists. The terrorist part is what bothers
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: me most. So when you come out and you classify
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: us across, you know, and then now the younger generation
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: of Americans are like, yeah, well, we are. We're horrible.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: And I just think, oh, and this is not an
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: act of war to say, you know, all of them,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: every single one of us must go. My problem. Amy,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: lighten the mood.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think I'm going to.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, damn it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: We're running low. Several U.S. military leaders have apparently told
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that a long, large-scale operation against
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Iran is just unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: confront threats in other parts of the world. The warnings,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: detailed for Hegseth by the heads of the Army, Navy,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: and Air Force, and the four-star commanders overseeing U.S. ops
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America, appeared in the August
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: 14th edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders book, the SDOB. Wow.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Okay. And on from that, we go. to the Pentagon
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: secretly installing military influencers in civilian roles. All right. Hey, chat.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Check this out. Some new armaments. Tapping on it, because
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: that's what you do, apparently. You have to tap on
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: everything when you're an influencer. Oh, my gosh. Look at
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: this new makeup. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. All right, chat.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: What's up, fam?
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Guys.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Guys, check this out. Could take out two city blocks.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: One time. All right. Got some drones. Oh, my God.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I love the drones. Look at this. So I'm at brunch,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, got to get me some of them drones.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Tap, tap.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know where the tapping comes from.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Somebody's been doom scrolling too much.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: All the time. I'm ADHD, man. That's what quiets my mind.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: It's what gets me through all the hurtful things that
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Kono says off the air about me.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Iceland may continue to stand alone. The future of Iceland's
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: bid to join the European Union is going to be
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: debated by its parliament because a majority of voters voted
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: against restarting accession talks in this weekend's referendum. So basically
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: the voters said, no, we don't want to we don't
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: want to join the EU.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Is it because it's you?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe they like their own money.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know much about Iceland, except you know what
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I know about Greenland and Iceland?
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Iceland doesn't have ice and Greenland is icy.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Is that like some military scam or they just
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: didn't want people coming over? Because if that's the case,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I'd say call them both Iceland. If you call one Greenland, oh,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: and then it's the old switcheroonie. You get there, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: it's not green. It's ice.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: No? I don't know.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm just trying to figure out and do the
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: heavy lifting here.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: It's the classic bait and switch. Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: With my big logic brain. It's so heavy. That's why
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: my face is round. All right. Aaron Donald. This has
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to do with the sports ball. Here's a sports ball
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: story for those who like the sports ball. He's returned
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: to the Los Angeles Rams, your L.A. Rams, ending his
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: retirement after two and a half years. He is 35. Kono,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: you know about these things, right? He's 35 years old.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: That's a little long in the tooth for footballs. It
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: used to be.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: I think Tom Brady and peptides, the peptides have made
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: everyone younger.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Amy, you were talking about the peptides earlier. We were.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: We were talking about the peptides.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: And what's that all about? Because I've been talking with doctors,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and there's not a whole lot... There's not a lot
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: of confirmation about stuff.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: That's what this doctor said, too. We talked to Dr.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Joe Gulati, and he basically said they can make all
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the claims they want, but they're not FDA approved, so
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: they don't have to... You know, they don't have to
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: have a certain amount of anything in there. They don't
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: have to have proven results.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And what do they call them, Kona? Stacks? They do stacks, yeah.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Wolverine stack is like a big one. You stack a
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: bunch of different ones. And they're supposed– because one's for energy,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: one's for memory, one's for– Recovery. Recovery after workouts and
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: things like that, right? Yeah.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: There's also like former baseball players that were on– enhancers
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: that got popped this is what they were on they
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: were on peptides to yeah so that you would recover
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: faster if it's not fda what are you getting it
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: at a convenience store or 7-eleven with your boner pills
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: or usually like a website or a doctor or they
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: but what doctor is prescribing them if they're not fda
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: approved i'm sure they're out there well yes you can
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: get doctors get anything because also fda it's like how
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: much you're gonna pay to get your approval you know Okay.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like everybody does it. Anyways, Aaron Donald is back,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: and he's a freak of nature. Who is back?
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: He must be on his pep talk.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: The story that you started with. It's Aaron Donald back
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: at the Rams. He's a freak of nature because of
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: his ability, prowess, strength.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: All of that. He's really great. He's a great player.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: It's going to be the greatest defensive line. Why did
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: he retire? Want to hang out with his family. Oh,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: and now he doesn't? He won a championship.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: When you get a chance to play with Miles Garrett
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: and then become the greatest defensive line maybe ever.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: You do it. But was Miles on the peptides? My
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: guess is everyone is. Now I'm curious. I want to
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: know about the peptides.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: They're all the rage right now, Neil.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Can they bring back hair? I don't think. Oh, yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: No, it is. It's for like hair and joints.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, cut my joints. I was not kind to my
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: body as a young person. I did a lot of
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: stupid things. You know, one of those phases I went through,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be a stunt person. Really? Yeah. So
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I beat the crap out of my body doing high falls.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Did you ever do any real stunt work?
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Just did it for fun?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: No.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, from when I was a small kid, I
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: went through a couple really, really defining things that I
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: ended up not doing. Then I went into radio. What
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the hell? But yeah, I really loved, like in third grade,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I did a stunt show, a full Western stunt show
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: for the talent show.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: How fun.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Breakaway boards and chairs.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: I bet it was a hit.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: In the face. All right. On that funny note.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: No?
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: The chair does it. Chair takes away all funny. The
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: chair is comedy cancer. Horrible thing to say. All right,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: back with more of the show. Neil Saavedra and the
• 32:50
