• 2:51
  Speaker 2: then she's like, I can't do this, and he looked
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: like he was making a fist. I'm like, damn right,

• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it happens, come on.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Little cousin every now and then.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And then someone was being mean to a producer or

  Speaker 2: something one time.

  Speaker 5: like that. Yeah, I that's profanity.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like that. You don't take yourself too seriously. Yeah,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: for I'm super honored to do this job. It's a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: huge deal for people to let us into their cars,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: their lives, their homes and all that stuff. But I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: don't take myself seriously. And you know, you don't need
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: to treat people poorly in life.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: That's right, preach, preach.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: So we got through the first day of twenty twenty
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: six field pretty good about it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we nailed it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Pretty good about it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I have some thoughts on things that I want to do.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I don't have any resolutions, what say you, Heather Brooker?
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: You know I have some goals, you know, I resolutions,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: you know, whatever you want to call them. My goals
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: are to do more things that give back to the community.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I heard that. I think that's really neat. I would
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: like about that. The other day yesterday, I think.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to do that more. I feel
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: like I get so caught up. Like you were talking
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: yesterday about being a workhorse. That's me. Like, I'm I'm
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: only part time here at KFI, but I will work
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: fifty hours a week if they let me because I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: enjoy work. I'm a work person.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: I see that in you. Absolutely.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I enjoy being busy. And there's stuff I do outside
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: of here that I don't put down on my timesheet
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: that I do I probably should put it down, but
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I'm always working. I like to be busy.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I'm that that was that person too. Yeah, I've done that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So it's hard to tell people not to, but yeah
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you should.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know I should.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, I want to focus more on trying
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to redirect some of that energy into helping other people
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and maybe not so much work because I'm you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just trying to find a balance. I think that's
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the struggle.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Charity is great, and you know what, there's a lot
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to do, even you with your skills in theater and acting.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You know, there's young people that need mentors and leadership
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: in those things too. People always think of charity as
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: having to dump out money, but I'm right, and I do,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I have. My rule is local.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Then you do local, state, national, and international. Yeah, so
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you find and you give a little bit to wherever. Yeah,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: something a little like that. And then for the arts,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I'm really big on self help graphics and East LA
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: place like that where you can give money to or
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: donate stuff. If you you know, any equipment that I
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: have for making a you can donate that to, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: art places that teach art. You can also send your
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: tech stuff to STEM programs, which I'm a big fan
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of and things like that.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: You know what's funny is I don't know if this
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: is how other communities are other cities or maybe this
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: is just a Los Angeles problem, but it is incredibly
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: hard to volunteer in some places because so many people
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: want to do it. I remember wanting to. My daughter
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: asked me a few years ago about volunteering and an
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: animal shelter because she loves animals. Sure, and I went
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to look and see where I could do that and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: sign up. And I was looking at the Bourbank Animal Shelter.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: There was like a six month waiting list to volunteer there,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and I was like what So I was like, I'll
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: look somewhere else. Let me see passading it the same thing,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and like maybe it's just animals focused, but they're also
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I looked at the Downtown Women's Shelter and like other places.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Oh really, Yeah, there's a waiting list in a lot
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: of these places to volunteer. And I'm like, you know
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: where that's a good problem to have. Good on La.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You gotta go to the crappy one everyone wants to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: deal with. Where are the charity nobody washing us? It's like, uh, yeah,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: there's a yeah, I can imagine there's a lot of
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: people that are our givers and kind and also.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: It's a great problem to have in our city. Like
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: what an abundance of people who want to help, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: but it's also annoying. It's like I want to be
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: good too. Yeah, come on, come on, I wanna. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: want to help.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You're stealing all your goodness?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Right, all right, let's get to some of the news.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Handle on the news, uh lead story. I do like
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the rain. I'm not only happy when it rains, but
• 7:51

• 7:54
  Speaker 2: had that nice, steady downpour.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I'll be honest.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I took a longer nap than normal, I because I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: was up after midnight with my family and then came
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and did the show. So a lot of yesterday was
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: h Yeah, turning off the alarm because I said an
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: alarm when I napped.

  Speaker 3: or anything? Alms?

  Speaker 2: That's those are the ones that I The misspelled hashtags
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: are my favorite.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: That's a deep dive.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: I feel that way mostly when the tree is up
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and there's music playing and we're all just kind of
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: hanging out and talking. Like on New Year's Eve, my
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: husband got my daughter a game called Grab the Mic
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: for Christmas, So on New Year's Eve we sat around
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: and played that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: And what is what is grab the mic?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Grab the mic is there's like a little microphone that
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: comes with it, and it's you're giving a word. There's cards,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: you flip over, and there's a word, and whoever sings
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: a song lyric with that word in it first moves
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: their points or moves their token or whatever across the
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: board according to how many points. So like, if the
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: word is uh, and sometimes it's hard. If the word
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: is love, that's easy to do. You grab whoever grabs
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: the mic first sings their lyrics with the word love
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: in it, or sometimes the word will be like have
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: or ben.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: That's like an old improv game kind of Yeah. I
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: used to do that with a buddy of mine who's
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: a who's a comic, and we would on the way
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to his shows. We do like album names or something,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and you could only have a conversation using album names
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: or things like that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fun. I love I love games. Game night
• 14:07

• 14:19
  Speaker 4: what's big Booty?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Big Big Booty is. It's like a rhyming game where
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: you go everybody gets a number in the circle and
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: the number kind of gets tossed around across the room.
• 14:31

  Speaker 4: Because it should be.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It should be, yeah, And then what what happens when you.
• 14:58

  Speaker 5: Obviously it's great for radio, but I was doing it
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: because I'm a marriage and family therapist and I was
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: trying to get comfortable in being in one on one
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: situations with people. So I took an improv class and
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: it helped, and they taught you big booty to help
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: with that. That was one of the exercises that they did.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: It's just learning how to with eye contact communicate directly
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: to the person you're trying to pass the ball to.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: So now Sam is like, They're like, well, and then
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: this happened when I was thirteen, and goes yes and.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, exactly yes, And as a therapist, is exactly
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: the way you were.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you kind of do. And how did that make
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: you feel?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: My wife's a therapist and I always say, don't put
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: me on the couch, and she says, don't do creepy
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Jesus voice.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Well or even already back of the news, shall we go?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Rain?
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, rain is here, steady rain pounded Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: of course as the one hundred and thirty seventh Rose Parade.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: We watched it here yesterday and we're humored by the
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Grand Marshall Magic Johnson himself that you saw basically a
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: silhouette most of the time because they had the top
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: up on the convertible. He did reach out at some
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: point and wave his hand. Yeah, but that's crap.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Do they pay those folks?
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: They do? I believe they do get paid. I think
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: he did. I think he was out of the car
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: at the beginning of the parade. My husband says, he
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: goes no. I saw him at the very top of
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: the parade when he was like, you know, tossing or
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: opening it whatever.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, okay, because there was time when
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: they were doing a stand up or something before. But
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: once he got in the parade itself, it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Was also a really small convert, Like he's a tall guy.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know how he fit in there.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: His feet are in the engine compartment. They don't tell
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you that. It's like a flintstone car. He's powering it
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: by his own self, all right.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: More Trump news. He is telling the Wall Street Journal
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: in an interview that he's not following his doctor's recommendations
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: because he's taking a higher dose of aspirin than what
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: they're recommending, because he says, well, aspirin is good for
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: thinning out the blood, and I don't want thick blood
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: pouring through my heart, so I want nice, thin blood
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: pouring through my heart. So he's taking a higher dose
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: of aspirin, blaming or than his doctors are recommended.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It's what cracks me up is that thought that, hey,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: if it's good, then more is better, right, right, Yeah,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know that that's the case, but I saw
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: this yesterday and maybe you did too. Going back to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the Rose Parade that there was a float.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: That came by and they had a banner.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: There's most of the time, there's no controversy when it comes.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: They do a good job at keeping the Rose Parade. Yeah,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and just an enjoyable time. But it's a local parade,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and there was local news. There was a banner that
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: said A. G. Bonta Altadena demands an investigation and this
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: is in reference to the California Attorney General Rob Bonta,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: and demanding an investigation is to what caused the eat
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: and fire. And you know, they did dance around the
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: banner a little bit with camera work, but it was
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: seen in most of it. And I you know, I'm
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: not big on making everything a political platform, but in
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: this case, this is a very important local issue. It
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: was mishandled. Somebody needs to come up and lead and say, Okay,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: this is where we dropped the ball, but this is
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: what we're doing a year later.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: And considering that it was in Pasadena, Yeah, it's right there. Yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: you would think, I honestly thought there would have been
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: a little more representation or a little more nod to
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: the fires during the show, but we didn't during the prey,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: but we didn't see that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: On that note, a good reminder for you, January seventh,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Next Wednesday, This coming Wednesday, the Los Angeles wildfires. One
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: year later, look at the news two hour special hosted
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: by our very own Michael Monks. Please stick around for
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: that is around. We should be talking to him today.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think so he's off today, of course he is.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I have a special segment in that special as well. Actually,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of the Canfine team contributed to that special,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: so we've got some really great angles on the fire
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: one year later that I think people will really be
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: interested to hear.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, put that on your calendar.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: That is the seventh on Wednesday at seven pm.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Happy Friday to you, but a lot to the law.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: The second of January twenty twenty six, Neil Savadri in
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the Morning Crew with you. Happy to be here today.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Rounding out the week. Handle has had the week off.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yesterday yesterday I reached out, just texted Bill and Lindsay
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: and just said, you know, happy New Year.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: You're crazy kids, and he wrote back, I hope you have.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: A marginal marginally pleasing twenty twenty six sounds about right. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: it's really heartwarming.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Do you think he's listening? Does he listen to the
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: show when he's not here?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Mostly no, but he does on occasion so that he
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: can come back and maybe bask you. Here's the thing
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of people don't think about this. Handle doesn't
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: like other radio shows because of one that no one
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: can do that the type of show that Handle likes,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: because Handle likes listening to Handle.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say his show the only one he likes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, because if you're not him talking about him, then
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: he's bored. So he he listens for a couple of
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: minutes and goes, this is boring because it's not him.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Understood.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, very.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Simple recipe for success with Bill. B Bill love Bill.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Say good things about Bill and you're fine. Oh, I
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: tell him. That's why I think he hates Trump so much.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: They're pretty much the same person. What about me? All right?
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Back to what here we go? Handle on the news,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: it's got his name right.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: He can even be.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Neil on the News which to be honest, ring with
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Heather Brooker.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: All Right, Zoran Mundani was officially sworn in in a
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: ceremony this week and as mayor of New York, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: he gave his inaugural address in front of thousands of
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers, including Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortes.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: So he is making a lot of history here. He's
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the thirty four year old Democratic socialist. He is the
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: first Muslim and South Asian person to serve as mayor,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: the first to use the Qur'an and his swearing in,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: and the youngest mayor in over a century. Some promises
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: he made was to deliver an agenda of safety, affordability,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and abundance. And he says, he continued, he will continue
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: to rule or rule or maybe that's not the best
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: word govern as a democratic socialist. And he yeah, that's
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: what he's planning to do. He's not going to lose
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: his principles as mayor. That's what he says.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Cats danned his politics way, shape or form. But boy,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: is he and his wife a good looking couple. They
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: are Wow, They're just they you know, And I'm sure
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: they're lovely people. I just socialism, as pretty as it
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: looks on paper, has one place, in one place only
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: in life, and that is at your home. I am
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a socialist at home, and I think that's where it's
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: it's all for everybody at home, we all do it
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: and put it into the pot. But outside of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: intimacy of your home, it just doesn't work. Man, Somebody,
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: somebody's got to do the heavy lifting. And uh, it's
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: just not how it works. But it's pretty. I mean,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I love, I'd love we have a barter system. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: love I could just get a pelt.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: I'm curious to see how we have one, Like just
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: socialist city in a country that is very capitalist, you know, Like,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: how does that work with where one city is focusing
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: on socialism in a country that does not.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, it's just to me, it's it's the capitalism
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: is not perfect by any stretch, but it's the best
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: of all the options. It just is you get every
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: individual the opportunity, and that's all I expect. Just allow
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: me opportunity. And for those that aren't getting those opportunities,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: we have to focus and make sure they at least
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: have the openness to them. And then we're all good.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: But socialism that you know, what's the old saying. The
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: socialism is great until you run out of other people's money.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: And that's somebody's got to be making the money to
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: make it work. And what's the incentive if everybody's going
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: to take it? Only family? That's why it works at
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: home on a small, small scale. All right, this is
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: a weird sexual harassment You see Will Smith's name being
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: sued over allegations he retaliated against a violent violinist who
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: reported sexual harassment. You go, what, but that is an
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: odd headline. Basically, you have this violin who was on
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: tour with Will Smith. You know, his career has kind
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: of tanked after he assaulted Chris Rock on stage at
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: the Oscars, and so he went on tour. You know,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: you got to make dad, I gotta make money, went
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: on tour doing his music there and he got a complaint.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Brian King Joseph, who was the violinist, said that he
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: came back to his room, his hotel room, and there
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: was like HIV medicine with somebody's name on it they
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: didn't know, and there was like somebody had obviously been
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: in his room and he went to the management and said, Hey,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: somebody's been in my room. Somebody's been eating my porridge
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and all this stuff. And apparently he said that he
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: was fearful that someone was you know, there was a
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: note said Brian, I'll be back later like and he
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: felt like he was going to be sexually assaulted because
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: there was a note. That's and it's just an odds
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: and he was fired and has.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: He raised concerns to the management.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: That's what he says.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: That's his that's his accusation. But it's an odd story all.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: The way, very strange. Yeah, all right, about three hundred
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and twenty five thousand Californians will now need new real IDs.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Apparently there was a software error with the California DMV
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: and now about one point five percent of the people
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: in California holding these real IDs will need to get
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: new ones. They're not It doesn't it's not super clear
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: what it says that the actual problem was. It just
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: says we reviewed our records and identified legacy system issue
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: from two thousand and six and are notifying impacted customers
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: with guidance on how to maintain a California issued credential.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I want a new one, right, Yeah, I want a
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: new one.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Well, they also want to be clear that the federal
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: system had verified the lawful presence of the people who
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: you know, received these errored IDs, and that no one
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: who was undocumented got one.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: So during COVID and they were like, you got to
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: get your idea, you got to get it. My you know,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: my son was just a we one. My wife's working,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: and I got to go in and do it. Keep
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: in mind, the.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Early, uh, the very start of COVID.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I was supposed to be coming back to work from
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: my kidney transplant, and I you know, they're like, no,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: you stay home because you've got a compromised immune system
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: all the stuff.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: So I went from you know, three months or whatever
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: of already being on home home stay for my kidney
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: right into COVID. So I was three months ahead of
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: everybody else for being quarantined.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: And I had to go at some point take my
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: young son with me, who was just like at that
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: wandering age and I'm trying to at the DMV and
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: it's all on lockdown. I looked, listen, I had a
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: very small window of attractiveness around eighteen to twenty, and
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I you know, I'm not telling anybody that I'm going
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: to take the best picture anyways, but it is. It
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: is just a horrible picture now that is staying with
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: me forever. So I would be happy. I hope i'd
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: get one of the ones that was tainted around two
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: thousand and six. Yeah, I hope that maybe they'll go, hey,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: let's redo this. Oh well, all right, twenty twenty six
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: is it going to be the year of that four
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: day work week that we've heard so much about. Some
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: countries and areas already do this, but they're saying because
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: of AI and the rapid development in twenty twenty five,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: that this has accelerated these feelings of anxiety about the future,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: and people are worrying about shrinking entry level opportunities, rising
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: electricity because you know, these these data farms, these that
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: they use. It takes so much for AI. I mean,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it takes a lot for the Internet.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: People are like, oh, this person flew a plot private
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: plane to wherever. I'm like, dude, when you looked up,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: did fish ever have hair? And uh, you know, is
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: there really thing is the furry bass or whatever? These
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: are all cryptos zoological preferences anyways, if you look that up,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: you're spending a butt ton of energy on stupidity. But
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: they're saying that these things might just push some of
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: these new type weeks, these four day work weeks, and
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, it depends on what you're doing in
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: that time, not how much time you have.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: What is your goal? What do you need to do?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Here in the United States, we have gone way out
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: of balance when it comes to work and home.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just like we were talking about earlier. We
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: work too much and I need to reset that in
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: my own personal life. Man, I feel like we already
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: did this, but we're getting rid of plastic bags in California.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Is this de ja vous? Am I crazy?
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: No, We've done.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: We go back and forth because it's if we were
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: trying to save the trees when we went to plastic,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and now we're trying to save the planet because plastic
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: is we just throw them all over the place.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: They end up in the gutter, and.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: They're horse in the ocean.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Cinebil ten fifty three now prohibits retailers from providing plastic
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: bags to customers at checkout. Shoppers who do not bring
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: their own reusual bag can purchase one for ten cent
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: feet Now here's the deal. I live in the Glendale,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: and I remember years ago, like maybe seven eight years ago.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Did you call it the Glendale Glendale? Okay people who know?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: No, they did this whole plastic bag doing this anymore thing.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Everybody's going to be using reusable, but you can buy
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: one for ten cents everywhere, and it was so annoying.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: It was like, oh, what we have to pay? All right,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: that's fine, ten cents whatever, because I would forget my bag.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Everywhere now in Glendale has plastic bags, and I'm like,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I thought these were not supposed to have these anymore,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: And here we are years later, every store has plastic bags.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: What are they doing?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: What they did was they switched to thicker bags. Yes,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: they're much thicker. The thought was people will wash them
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: and reuse them, and they didn't, and so we wasted more.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Because we're emotional. Nobody's rational about these things, saramony.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: But also it feels like no one is enforcing it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Why is why are these big box stores allowed to
• 31:45

  Speaker 2: Stuff also, Long the Long Beach antique mall just popped
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: up on my feed and I'm like, I want to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: go check that out.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: There was a spot in antique spot in Burbank, and
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: my kid is a huge history buff. He got my
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: kid like really nerded out because he got to hold
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: a bullet from the Civil War.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Oh that is cool.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: And apparently only one company made all the bullets, so
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: they couldn't figure out which side the bullet was shot from,
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: so it was there was a real cool little bit
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: of history there.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: My kid had a great time nerding out there. Wow,
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: that is fascinating.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just love that stuff too. Yeah, that's all
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: really cool. I'm fascinated by it all. All Right, back
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: to the news, shall we go. We've heard about this
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Santa Monica. They have a charging site
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: there for the WAIM, the robotaxis, and people are pissed
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: off because they talk.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: To each other.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: The vehicles honk to talk to each other, and while
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: they're parking and things like that, they're finding their way
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: back into I don't know if you have one of
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: those robotic mops or vacuums at home, but we have one.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I call it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I tell my son it's his brother. But I don't
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: know why, but it gives me anxiety. It just it's
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: always underfoot. And then they kind of beep and talk
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: to the base and then they go back to the bait.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: They find the base and it's like now going to
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: the base and well the cars do that and people
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: and it's under like an apartment area or something.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Thing so annoying.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: And so the city of Santa Monica is asking a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: judge declare the two way moot charging stations a public
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: nuisance in order that overnight operations be curtailed because of
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the effects of all this noise and lighting, you know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: going back and forth. And they're using terms like mini
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas, living next door to a spaceship, a circus,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: a city that never sleeps. And I hope they figure
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: something out because that is there's got to be a
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: way to do it in an industrial area or do
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: something where you're not underneath people because they made the
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: decision to make that lease before that stuff was there,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: and then now they have this you know, the sound
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: and the crazy wemos.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, health subsidies are going to expire or have expired.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Rather that means millions of Americans are now facing steep
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: health insurance hikes. The entense tax credits that have helped
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: reduce the cost of health insurance for the Affordable Care
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Act enrollees they expired this week, and that means more
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: money for health insurance.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: Measles are back. This is ridiculous.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Over two thousand measle cases have been reported in the
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: US in twenty twenty five. So you've got this ongoing
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: outbreak and really what we're trying to do is eliminate
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: these things.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: And so now.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: You've got a larger anti vax group, which to me,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: I still don't see the logic in Yes, in any
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: mass system of any kind, there are going to be
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: of those that don't take well to it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: And I get that.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: And if it was my kid, yeah, I or my family, yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: I'd be pissed off. But you've got these cases popping
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: up in things that we had a nice grip upon
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: are starting to come back. So they keep popping up up,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: and the federal data is showing that higher annual totals
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: than the country has seen in decades that we're dealing with.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I will never frustrators stand. I tried to understand the
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: perspective of people who don't want to get vaccinations, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: I just I don't.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: So your daughter's twelve, right, So so five years.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Ago or more now, when the COVID vaccine came out,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: was there any hesitation?
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Not at all? Okay, because I believe in science. I
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: believe in research, and we did a lot of reading
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: and research before we did it, and we felt comfortable
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: doing it, and there wasn't Hi, guys, come on in.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: The engineers are here. Hi, are we in? Is something broken? No,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: they're just coming to check on me. We we did
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of research and decided it was the best
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: decision for our family, you know, and we.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Did this exact same thing.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know it is when you're you know,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Max is even much younger, he's nine, your daughter's twelve,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: and it you Yeah, science is wonderful, but science is observational.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: And there's.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: A tholidamide was used by science at one point too,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: So it's there. You know, there are things that we
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: have to we have to still make decisions as parents, right,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: But I, like you, felt this is the best decision,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: and we have to we have to rely on those
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: that investigate and study these things on our behalf. Every
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: time you go to a doctor of any kind, you're
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: doing that, and so you just have to.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, we also come from a family where science
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: is a big importance. My father in law is a researcher.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: He has been studying gene cloning and all kinds of
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: all kinds of research to help cure cancer, certain types
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: of cancer. He has been a scientist, a research scientist
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: for many many years at a university. So and hitting
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: my sister in law same thing, scientists who's into research.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: So we you know, may have a different perspective than
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of people, but we certainly did. I'm not
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: somebody who does things on a whim. We read about it,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: re researched, yeah, and we felt like it was the
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: best decision at the time for our family versus the alternative,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: which was to be unvaccinated and unprotected in any way.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: You know, I've not gotten it, have you? Gotten it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I have. I even had a booster.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: No, I don't mean about the shot. Have you had COVID?
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've had boosters and all that time.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, I have it.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: You've never been vaccinated.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Oh of course I have a category, you know, with
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: a kidney transplant and suppressed the music. Yeah.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: I I think I had it early on during COVID
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: during the first few months. I think I got it
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: early on, but I was never I've never had a
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: positive COVID test.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: If I had it, it would have been before it
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: hit Yeah, because they they're was something that hit me
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: before in twenty nineteen, November of twenty nineteen, before I
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: got my surgery, kidney surgery, and they almost didn't give
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: me the surgery.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Because it knocked you out so bad.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Well, because I had this weird cough that lingered. Oh
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: and that's the only time. But other than that, my
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: son's had it. I believe my wife's had it, or
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: maybe Tracy hasn't had it, but my son has had it,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and most of my family has had it.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: But I haven't gotten it. Okay, that's good. Yeah, I
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: take it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I don't knock on for then you don't.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Alrighty, that's a little bit of the news for you.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: We come back. We got much more to get into.
• 41:36

• 41:40
  Speaker 2: might affect you, and we'll get into those and more,
• 41:43
