  Speaker 1: Fork Store. All right, it is time, It is time
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I'll do the costco a little bit later on. Let's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: talk about less food in restaurants, but there's a spin
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to that, so talk about it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: So you know how it used to be thought that
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you the fancier you get, the smaller the dishes. When
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you go to a restaurants, I guess this tiny little
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: fruit fruit dish super chefy, but it's like I'm paying
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That used to be a joke.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And then slowly portioned sizes got bigger again, and especially
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: here in California, we tend to get really hearty sized dishes. However,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: more and more with the rise of GLP one medications,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and of course those are the ones that are originally
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: for diabetes, but people are using them as to weight
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: control that they really it changes the way you eat
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and the desire to eat more, so you kind of
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: back off and want to eat less.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Restaurants and some trend some people that look at trends
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and look into how this is going to affect feud
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: food in the future, they're seeing that it's sort of
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: rewriting the rules of dining out right now in America,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And you're the smaller plates are starting to come back again.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I would never leave leftovers ever, I would clean my plate.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I now leave food on my plate, and the food wastage.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Part of that has to be psychological. If there has
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to be an issue with people who work in restaurants
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: knowing that there is food insecurity and people we are
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: having a hard time eating, particularly in these days, the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: amount of waste that goes on, I mean I have
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of waste. It has to hit you psychologically.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: What was the restaurant across the street from us? I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: forgot the name where the portions were enormous, right just.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Across the street.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What was it not across the street over there on
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the other side of it was on the other side
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of Hollywood Way.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: No, it was right across the street from me. In
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a big, tall tower.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: There was a restaurant at the bottom that gave you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: portions that were beyond comprehension.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Was it like a cheesecake factory kind.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Of No, it wasn't cheesecake, which is also enormous portions.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I forgot the name of the restaurant, but I could.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: You couldn't believe it. You order meat loaf and you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: got five huge slices for lunch and just it's such.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: A rotation of restaurants, so it's hard for me to
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: remember what's been.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, So that's challenging and for the better, and sometimes
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: it pushes for creativity as well, and to maximize each
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: bite rather than just you know, gorge out on food.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: So it's, uh, it's they're slimming things down, and this
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: is moving towards the fast food restaurants as well, which
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: is not a bad thing. Uh, And so don't be
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: surprised to start seeing that it's not just shrink flation.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, one of my favorite restaurants, and a bunch of
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: these have closed.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's a chain out back steakhouses. And I've always enjoyed
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: out baked statehouses because first of all, the steaks are
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they come from beef cattle that have been turned down
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: by every single slaughterhouse in the United States.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The actually nice job they actually do.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: They that the bloom onion, the bloomin and it's it
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: was always crowded because I really enjoyed it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Why why are they shutting down?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously because of you know, lack of money, lack
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of revenue coming in.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Well, there's not a clear definition on this one. This
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: one is kind of strange because, uh, it abruptly closed
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: restaurants across several states, not here, but Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: New York, Wisconsin. It's interesting that they closed kind of overnight,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: completely surprising staff, completely surprising patrons, and still there's no
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: set reasoning or understanding as to why they did so.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Of course you've got some coming from the brand. Bloomin
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Brands is actually the brand there, Elizabeth Daily. They told
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Usday Today in a statement that these are business decisions,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: that they're part of an ongoing turnaround plan, and that
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: they considered a variety of factors including sales, traffic, trade areas,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: potential investment, improved performance, these such things. But it was
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: that they were so abrupt that, like some people that
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: were working, their servers said, they were, you know, saying
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: buy to customers one night and can't wait to see
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you next you know, regular see you next time, and then.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Then they just shut down, right, Yeah, thing up.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: One of the things that I always found interesting in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the world of business is a business can have various branches.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Typically a restaurant and it's making money, but not enough
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: money that it's Uh, even though it's profitable, we want
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a certain level of profitability because it just isn't worth
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it for us. And we're finding out've always wondered. But
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's making money, and they go, yeah, okay, but not enough.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe there's just a set and it's got you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: have to make this much money for it to be
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: worthy of us to invest in that property or whatever
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: it is. It just is a pretty rare that they
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: go overnight, Yeah overnight like that.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Uh, And Costco does the same thing.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You can have a product and breadth the shore if
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you remember Breath the Shore.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And they were in Costco and and they were.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Doing fine, no problem at all, but they weren't doing
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the numbers that Costco wanted.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: There is a threshold and.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Even even you need a certain amount of packages to
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: no certain yeah, a certain amount of units that were sold.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Even though they were doing well, it wasn't moving as
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: quickly as they demanded, which is why Costco takes brands
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and gets rid of them and they disappear.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You go there, I do that too. There were a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: couple of sauces.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That I love Tomato sauces that disappeared, and I went
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to the manager and go what happened? He goes, we
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: weren't selling enough of them, but you were selling them
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: like crazy yep, but not crazy.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Enough, not sober stupid crazy.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what they want. This one is fun.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: This is Costco and it's called the U I guess
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you call it the zombie Apocalypse. Three thousand dollars. Now
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that's a lot of burritos, a lot of frozen burritos.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: So Costco launched this three thousand dollars emergency food supply
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and it's, you know, all of these food supplies basically
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: say hey, we're built to last twenty five years.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But now you have They call it the ready Wise Kit.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I call it the you know, zombie apocalypse Kit, because
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: this is a massive amount of food you've got. This
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: particular ready Wise Kit includes thirty eight buckets with more
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: than five thousand freeze dried servings designed to last twenty
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: five years. The funny thing is, the minute this comes out,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you've got experts and nutritionists and dietitians coming out saying.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: It's only for survival.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Is if people are going to buy this and use
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: it as their daily intake. But this is about being
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: prepared for any sort of national emergency or local emergency.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: But this kiit's crazy though. I mean it's if you
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: need this amount of food as a survivalist and apocalypse
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is here, then you don't want to live where you are.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Then the world has truly fallen apart. Armageddon has arrived.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Now I can see five days supply, which a lot
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: of companies have three days supply of food. Major earthquake hits,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a major in some cases hurricanes hitting, you're out for
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a week until at least food starts being food supply
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: starts being generated. But you know, come on, what forty
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: eight buckets? So how long you mentioned it? There's twenty five.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Year shelf life. But that's what the shoots. Yeah they do.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, your hell knows who's going to be around twenty
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: fives from hell.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: But there are some things you have to look at.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Is they're oil inside, because things can go rancid regardless
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: the type of packaging. Is it thick, is it thick packaging?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Is it foil packaging? Is their liner inside? Is there
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: different things like that are going to set it apart.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I've said this before. I think the brand that I
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: purchased is the guy who owns it is nutty as hell,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: but it's called I think it's eating Family Farms or
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: eating Valley Farm, maybe eating Valley Farms. And that's what
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I purchased for my family because it's actually excellent food.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It's food that I would eat normally and that is
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: packaged in a way that lasts for twenty five years.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of crazy.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, I'd have to check it out,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: but three grand is a lot of money.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Well, especially at Costco.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: That's MRIs, which were developed for the Armed services and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: these are packages and they actually have a chemical in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: there that you sort of squeeze it and it will
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: actually heat it up.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And is it's a big meal.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's like thirty five hundred calories designed for soldiers that
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: are in combat that you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Really suck up the uh, they're going to be hump
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: food lots. Yeah. By the way, you know what you
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: know what mr stands for? Meals ready to eat?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, meals ready for eat or I've heard meals rejected
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: by Ethiopians.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: That is by the way. I'm not making that up either.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: That is one of the terms that are used to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: describe that, and then I'm not even go to I'm
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: not even gonna get into the other ones.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: They usually have a favorite, but yes, not all of
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: them are are so great, but it is important to have.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And you got to keep in mind that you need
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the water to prepare.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: These things too, if there's a possibility and drinking water.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So in addition to this survivalist a lot of Mormons
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: are buying this stuff and a lot of survivalists by
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: this stuff. I mean, you go go to the Walmart,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: probably the best Walmart in the country is between Saint
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: George and a little town called Hurricane. I beg, oh, yeah,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: where all the fundamentalists Mormons go. Oh man, that's you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the guys with the fifteen wives.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I've been to the funnel of the fundamental fundamental List Mormon.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Enclave there.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the whole thing, and went there and you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: could get they had vhs tapes or DVDs on how
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to braid your hair because yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're obviously nuts.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: That store has more survivalist gear and food supplies that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Utah.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, funny enough, the place that
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that we buy ours from is Mormon run
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: and owned, and yeah, there are a lot of survivalists
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: and the the world be ready stuff.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I have sash too in my garage. For any major
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: like thing that happens, I have the MRIs, the water,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: all of it. Yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, there was a quick story. As you know, Savile,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: my partner in the cook wear business. We were having
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a meeting with one of the distributors and the guy
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: is completely nuts survivalists, and we were talking about gold,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you know, to hang onto gold because money's going to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: be worthless and money in the bank is going to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: fall apart.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And I said, do you have gold?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And he goes, no, absolutely not, And I'm thinking, okay,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the guy is okay.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: At least he has a head on a head on
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: his shoulders.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And we talked about how gold people aren't going to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: buy things with gold when the apocalypse apocalypse comes, because
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: gold is now We're only talking about practical uses of gold,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: you know, for what satellites and cell phones or whatever
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: else they put in gold. And so I said, good
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: for you. So what what do you think you should have?
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And he looked at me and his eyes glistened and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: he said, ammunition.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy, as we're going to need.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Lead and full metal jackets are going to be worthy
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: because gold can only get you so much.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: But you know, threatening gold watch.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Assuming that the apocalypse doesn't count, doesn't come.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Gold's gonna be okay.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: All right, we're done, and it's ask Candle anything where
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you record questions. Neil chooses the questions and I answer them,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and it's usually to embarrass me, and most of the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: time it works. And let's do it. Let's start with
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the questions. Cono number one, Hey.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: There, handle Bill Blake here and feeling. I remember at
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: one time you were talking about writing an autobiography, not
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: to be confused with your fascination with auto eroticism, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: I wonder if you ever did that, And if you
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: haven't and you're still planning to, I've got a great
• 14:35

• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like, sounds good, it sounds like a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: professional broadcaster. And the answer is no, I'm not going
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to write a book. And if the I've talked about it,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I've been asked to. No, I'm not willing to do it,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: mainly because of my reproductive loss stuff in one of
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the early pioneers of that. That's why people are interested,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and and how I got into radio? And actually that's
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the story. Uh, and it's if I were to do
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: a book, it's how to get into radio by being
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a dick?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: And I thought it was going to be, uh selling
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: babies for dummies. Yeah you could. That's also very strong. Okay,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that one was weird. All right, Cono, I want to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: jump the gun on ask a bill anything. Would you
• 15:41

  Speaker 1: to get in radio by being a dick?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot to that, by the way. Oh yeah,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: there's a whole story why that title would work. All right, Cono,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: one more until we had a break or maybe two more.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 16:11

  Speaker 5: Dwayne Putnam. He would give you swats, and I was
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: wanting to know when he would say handle, assume the position.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: What was that, Gregor angele the chair in front of you,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: and what did he use to swatch you.
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: With his hand?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, yardstick? All right, this is a good question.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: What infractions? How many swats did you get? And you
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: still have nightmares of Dwayne Putnam? Thank you?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's a great question.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: First of all, mister Putnam was an All Pro tackle
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: with the LA Rams and he went to become a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: pe teacher and he would.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Do the slotting.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He was like six foot four weigh two hundred and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: eighty pounds solid, and it would be assume the position.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Now you have a good actually it's a good description
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: of it. I'll tell you. It was not on my
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: knees looking at him.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Uh. He never wanted to be religious, all right, So
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: that's off the question. That's what Okay. What it was
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: was been down and grab your ankles and the swat came.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It was with a paddle.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It actually looked almost like a cricket bat, and I
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: thought I thought I'd be flying into the wall opposite
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: where I was getting swatted, and it turned out he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: really held back.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: But it hurt. It hurt.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Those were the days when you acted out, you got swatted.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And that was mister Putnam.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: That still existed when I was in junior high. Although
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I never got swatted. You you could, Yeah, no I did.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I got old.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I got swatted twenty Yeah, no surprise, yep, all right.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Hey Bill, Why do you broadcast from home? Do I
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: broadcast from home? Simple question?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: It is a simple question because I live an hour
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and a half away from the station.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: That's for starters.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: During COVID, a lot of us broadcast from home simply
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: because we had to. And I set up when I
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: bought my house, and I set up a full broadcast
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: studio that's every bit as good as the studio at KFI,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like I'm in the studio because the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: technology is there. And the main reason is I have
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: a thirty foot commute, all right, that ain't bad, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I walk downstairs in my sleepy shorts except during the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: summer where I don't really use them, and I have
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: an air conditioning, a little fan in front, and I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: swing a little bit because of you know, the sweaty
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: part of the bill.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: All right, cono, Hey, Bill, I just wonder why, or
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: rather what happened.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, I think I think that's a legitimate question.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: That is a legitimate question.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: We start with a chromosomal chromosomal chromosomal abnormality going way back. Also,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: there's some gene issues, not the kind you buy a costco,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: but some gene issues parents and as Neil has said,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: dropped me on my head several times, no hugging at all,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: and just for some reason, there is a genetic mutation
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: that makes me an all around dick.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And here I am. Does that answer the question?
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tip of the iceberg, Yes very much.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I said, that's a pretty good question.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: You know, Neil asked that question all the time, all
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the time, all the time.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: Hey, good morning, Billy. So you've said in the past,
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: during high school, in early college and what have you,
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: you weren't quite the catch. You weren't Paul Newman or
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Brad Pitt or whatever. But did you ask girls out?
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: And did you ever have somebody stand you up or
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: during a meal get up to go to the powder
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: room and not come back.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a very good question. Starting with did I
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: go out very much? The answer is no, did I do?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: People turn me down? Every single time I asked, did anybody,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: any woman or girl, ever get up and leave the
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: dinner table and a restaurant and go to the powder
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: room and ever come back? No, because no one ever
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: sat down with me. They all said no. And, needless
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to say, throughout my early years, and based on all
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of that, I didn't get laid very much. And anyways
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: start a bad looking guy. No, and I start. But
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: then the penis size has a lot to do with
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: it too.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's my personality.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, but I have to say that when I started
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: earning a good living, which I did early on, from
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the day I became a lawyer, I was a good living.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I actually had on a Saturday night, gone out to
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Santa Monica Boulevard, offered two hundred dollars and had the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: hooker say, you know what, and it's been a pretty
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: good Saturday for me.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: I'd rather not. I'm thinking of quittinger. Yeah right, No,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I didn't.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't. I didn't do very well
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I was a fat kid.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, hey baby, I'm an astronaut.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Huh that worked, didn't it? Or
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: how about this one? Okay?
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Or how about this one and this one? How about
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: this one? When I was I had broken up with
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a girlfriend. Uh, I'd lived with her through law school
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and we've been together for like nine years. And I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: broke up with her and I was thirty five years old,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and so I moved back to my parents' house for
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: about a year, trying to figure out where my life
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was going to be. And I used to I was
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: introduced to people, and I'd be introduced to a girl.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: A woman. I go, Hi, you know, my name is Bill.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm an attorney, and I'm reasonably successful. And by the way,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I lived with my mom and dad. That was not
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: a good year. I must tell you. Oh that's true,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: by the way. Okay, moving on, Hey, Bill, I was
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: wondering if you ever dress up for Halloween? And if so,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: what kind of costumes have you worn? Have a great day? Yeah, no,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that's a very good question. What costumes have I worn?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And I have dressed up for Halloween? It's been a long,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: long time since I did that. I mean basically as
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: a kid. And I'm trying to remember, remember it used
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to be a hobo.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that. I have pictures of me dresses
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: a hope.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope yeah, when we were kids. And then
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it got and then it got a little bit more creative.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I dressed dressed up as a tumor one year, which
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: was pretty good.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I dressed up as a sperm one year. That only
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: takes a sheet. Uh. And instead of the holes, you
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: do a whole thing. You still had horrible modality. Yes,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that's very good. Instead of going instead of what, instead
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of walking to the door, I'd be spinning around.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: That's right, walking all over the driveway. Yeah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, that that is a sperm joke, by the way.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Uh okay, moving on, we have one last one to go.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, I want to know. This is for Bill Handle.
