Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640, The Bill Handel Show
0:04
Speaker 1: On Demand on the iHeartRadio app.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good Thursday morning to you. Neil Saavedra and the morning
0:10
Speaker 2: crew here. The Bill Handel Show. Handel is out. He'll
0:13
Speaker 2: be back next week from Beke Sionis. He is looking
0:19
Speaker 2: at the nanomoles out there in Africa on safari with
0:22
Speaker 2: his new bride. And it looks like they're having fun.
0:25
Speaker 2: on his Instagram. They've been posting some stuff there. We'll
0:28
Speaker 2: be anxious to see him back here, and the family
0:31
Speaker 2: will be all back together. From a listener jumping on
0:37
Speaker 2: to our talkbacks, gave this recommendation, 4,000 Days. It's a
0:45
Speaker 2: 2026 documentary film directed by Daniel E.
0:49
Speaker 3: Catullo. Catullo? I don't know. The 3rd.
0:55
Speaker 2: Chronicles three families and their multi-year fight for legislative reform
1:00
Speaker 2: and accountability after losing their sons to fraternity hazing. So
1:05
Speaker 2: it's making the rounds right now. It is about changing hazing,
1:11
Speaker 2: anti-hazing laws and the like.
1:13
Speaker 3: I think it was at the Tribeca Film Festival. this year,
1:18
Speaker 3: made its premiere.
1:20
Speaker 2: And it looks like it might be coming out to
1:22
Speaker 2: Orange County, Huntington Beach, or something like that soon.
1:26
Speaker 3: 4,000 days.
1:27
Speaker 2: We were talking about fraternities earlier. So make a point
1:32
Speaker 2: to look that up if you are curious about it.
1:35
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:36
Speaker 2: Proposition 40, tax the rich, right? The billionaires. It sounds
1:42
Speaker 2: like an easy sell, especially nowadays. I remember back in
1:46
Speaker 2: the 80s, Lil Punk Rocker, it was all about, you know,
1:49
Speaker 2: eat the rich and the.
1:50
Speaker 3: Rich were the problem. It's a frustrating thing to me.
1:55
Speaker 2: We have gone to a point, we've gotten to a
1:58
Speaker 2: point where it seems like the smart have to apologize
2:02
Speaker 2: to the stupid, the successful have to apologize to the unsuccessful.
2:07
Speaker 2: It seems ass backwards. We get to the place where
2:11
Speaker 2: victims are apologizing to those that have to go to prison. And,
2:16
Speaker 2: you know, those that, you know, go that use the
2:21
Speaker 2: system the way it's supposed to be used are punished.
2:25
Speaker 3: And those that just do whatever they want are not.
2:30
Speaker 2: And it's a really ass backwards and completely antithetical to
2:34
Speaker 2: the American way, which is what you get here is opportunity.
2:41
Speaker 2: That's the sweet spot. So proposition this day and age
2:46
Speaker 2: where everybody wants to, you know, the government to take
2:50
Speaker 2: care of them. I'm a small government guy. If you
2:52
Speaker 2: haven't picked up on that, I think we need government
2:55
Speaker 2: for certain things that are cost prohibitive to individuals to
3:01
Speaker 2: be able to get. And that is law enforcement. That's
3:03
Speaker 2: fire enforcement. That's fixing the streets, the potholes, the sidewalks.
3:08
Speaker 2: These things are what needs to be done. I don't
3:10
Speaker 2: need someone to hold my hand. I don't think we
3:13
Speaker 2: need a thousand different social programs. I think we need some,
3:18
Speaker 2: but I think they're too easy to get taken advantage
3:21
Speaker 2: of and there's no real checks and balances on them.
3:24
Speaker 2: So just taxing billionaires, which they lyingly say is just
3:29
Speaker 2: going to be a one-time tax, misses the point of
3:33
Speaker 2: billionaires to begin with. So if you look at just,
3:39
Speaker 2: we've got 200 or so billionaires in the United States. 200,
3:44
Speaker 2: I mean, not in the United States, in California. So
3:48
Speaker 2: it's the home to 200 billionaires here in California. You've
3:54
Speaker 2: got their combined wealth of $ 2.
3:56
Speaker 3: 4 trillion. That is ultra wealthy.
4:04
Speaker 2: However, you look at Larry Page, you look at Mark Zuckerberg,
4:08
Speaker 2: you look at Henry Samueli, you look at all these names,
4:13
Speaker 2: and these are just five. These are just five. You
4:17
Speaker 2: are looking at roughly half a million employees between them.
4:25
Speaker 2: Five of them employ about half a million people with
4:31
Speaker 2: their main companies or the companies they were They created
4:36
Speaker 2: like Google, Alphabet, Meta, all these, NVIDIA. And you think
4:44
Speaker 2: about what happens if we don't have those people. This is, yes,
4:51
Speaker 2: when you, the more money you have, the more money
4:53
Speaker 2: can work for you and you get more money. Because
4:57
Speaker 2: quite honestly, what are you going to do with a
5:00
Speaker 2: billion dollars? It's a lot of money. I can't fathom
5:07
Speaker 2: that much money. So I know everybody has their dreams
5:11
Speaker 2: or I'd do this, I'd do that. Certainly there's things
5:13
Speaker 2: that you would do. But the reality is this is
5:17
Speaker 2: not just money that they're sitting on like, you know,
5:23
Speaker 2: Scrooge McDuck.
5:26
Speaker 3: And counting it all the time.
5:28
Speaker 2: This is money that is going back into our economy
5:31
Speaker 2: and building jobs and So it seems what would have
5:36
Speaker 2: been a shoe-in is not here in California. Recent poll
5:42
Speaker 2: found that only 45% of likely voters support it, 42%
5:46
Speaker 2: oppose it.
5:48
Speaker 3: And it's also been dropping in recent weeks.
5:51
Speaker 2: And one of the big reasons is a huge amount
5:53
Speaker 2: of money, obviously, being spent against the measure. Billionaires have money.
5:56
Speaker 2: Tech executives poured just hundreds of millions of dollars. But
6:01
Speaker 2: we're actually thinking people, right? We can look at that
6:05
Speaker 2: and make decisions based on it. You can read all
6:07
Speaker 2: about it. But Prop 40 isn't just facing opposition from
6:13
Speaker 2: wealthy people. You've got powerful democratic groups, labor unions. California
6:18
Speaker 2: Teachers Union, as a matter of fact, they're in there.
6:21
Speaker 2: California Professional firefighters also oppose it. And another problem is
6:26
Speaker 2: that the tax itself is super weird and unusual. Prop
6:31
Speaker 2: 40 would impose what they say is a one-time tax
6:34
Speaker 2: of up to 5% on the assets of billionaires who
6:37
Speaker 2: live in California. That was supposed to be at the
6:44
Speaker 2: start of 2026, but it would be taxed against them.
6:51
Speaker 2: Supporters say, Most of the money would go towards health care.
6:54
Speaker 2: Some would help with food assistance or education. And if
6:57
Speaker 2: you remember, the people pushing this would be like, oh,
6:59
Speaker 2: it's because Trump's Trump's cutting all of our funding and stuff.
7:03
Speaker 3: And we need this funding funding.
7:05
Speaker 2: But critics are saying that billionaires could move out of California,
7:08
Speaker 2: shift their assets around, challenge the law in court, which
7:12
Speaker 2: would be an expensive mess. And figuring out the value
7:17
Speaker 2: of things like private companies, artwork and other assets could
7:20
Speaker 2: get incredibly complicated. And it leaves us as the voters
7:25
Speaker 2: with a huge, huge question. Is taxing billionaires worth the
7:29
Speaker 2: risk and all the complications that go with it?
7:32
Speaker 3: I say no.
7:34
Speaker 2: And I say instead of that, we should be thanking
7:37
Speaker 2: the rich for bringing jobs to the area and and
7:42
Speaker 2: help building the system that allows other people to climb
7:47
Speaker 2: and find success. And we never look at that. It's
7:50
Speaker 2: like they're bad because they did it right. Now, are
7:53
Speaker 2: some of them D-bags? Absolutely.
7:55
Speaker 3: Do some of them do bad things with their money?
7:57
Speaker 1: Sure.
7:59
Speaker 2: But they are putting money into the system and they
8:02
Speaker 2: are making jobs. And we don't want that stuff to
8:06
Speaker 2: go away. Those big companies leaving California is not good
8:09
Speaker 2: for us. Not good at all. Reading some of the talkbacks.
8:14
Speaker 2: Happy to be with you here on the Bill Handel
8:17
Speaker 2: Morning Show, hanging out with the team. Of course, Handel
8:21
Speaker 2: comes back next week from his safari and will regale
8:25
Speaker 2: us with all his wonderful, wonderful stories of nanomals and beyond.
8:30
Speaker 2: Hank Sanchez just wrote, said, good morning, Mr.
8:34
Speaker 3: Saavedra.
8:35
Speaker 2: Just thought I'd let you know that Scrooge McDuck was
8:38
Speaker 2: always teaching lessons on financial literacy and how money works,
8:42
Speaker 2: investing and how it moves around. It wasn't just like
8:47
Speaker 2: you're sitting on a pile of money doing nothing with it.
8:50
Speaker 3: Thanks, Hank.
8:51
Speaker 2: I think that's a fair assessment. And thank you to
8:57
Speaker 2: all of you that have been saying very nice things
9:01
Speaker 2: about the show and Amy King and I doing what
9:05
Speaker 2: we are doing.
9:06
Speaker 3: Along with the team.
9:08
Speaker 2: So let's get to something that I'm passionate about. And
9:12
Speaker 2: it's not because I have been in some stupid lawsuits before.
9:20
Speaker 2: I remember, gosh, a couple of Christmases back, maybe within
9:23
Speaker 2: the last five years or something. During Christmas vacation, I
9:27
Speaker 2: had to go down to Ventura County for a frivolous lawsuit.
9:32
Speaker 2: Because I was in management here at KFI.
9:35
Speaker 3: And I was named in it. For no reason. No reason.
9:39
Speaker 2: And it was stupid. And this morning, as we're doing
9:42
Speaker 2: Handle on the News with Amy, we talked about the
9:47
Speaker 2: Hershey Company and how they added a new disclaimer to
9:51
Speaker 2: packages of their Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins.
9:54
Speaker 3: Not Jack-o'-lanterns, by the way. If you remember, this.
10:00
Speaker 2: Disclaimer that says that it may be right next to
10:03
Speaker 2: the product image, it features the Reese's peanut butter pumpkin,
10:08
Speaker 2: but it's carved like a jack-o'-lantern. And the little text reads,
10:12
Speaker 2: carving not on actual product.
10:17
Speaker 3: Why is that there?
10:18
Speaker 2: Well, back in 2023, a woman in Florida tried to
10:23
Speaker 2: sue the Hershey Company for $ 5 million.
10:26
Speaker 3: Why?
10:27
Speaker 2: Because the pumpkin-shaped Reese's don't actually have the card faces
10:32
Speaker 2: shown on the packaging. Now, the plaintiff had filed the
10:35
Speaker 2: 2023 lawsuit as a class action on behalf of herself
10:39
Speaker 2: and all other similarly situated individuals who purchased a Reese's
10:45
Speaker 2: peanut butter product. based on false deceptive advertising. So it's,
10:52
Speaker 2: I wanted this only because it was a jack-o'-lantern. And
10:58
Speaker 2: when I opened it, even though it said pumpkin, when
11:00
Speaker 2: I opened it, I had a heart attack. No, she
11:04
Speaker 2: didn't say that, but you'd have to, you'd have to
11:06
Speaker 2: have something. I'm going to sue you for punitive damages.
11:12
Speaker 3: An American hero.
11:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Thank you for protecting us, ma'am. So
11:18
Speaker 2: the lawsuit, the woman pointed to several other Reese's products,
11:22
Speaker 2: the candies shaped like bats, ghosts, and footballs that did
11:26
Speaker 2: not exactly resemble the product on the packaging. Mass production
11:31
Speaker 2: is difficult, ma'am. And the packaging is going to be
11:36
Speaker 2: the best of the best. And all I would have
11:39
Speaker 2: done if I was the attorney defending Reese's and Hershey's
11:47
Speaker 2: is I would have pulled up the lady's Facebook account
11:52
Speaker 2: and I would have looked at her photo and I'd say, ma'am,
11:56
Speaker 2: does this photo really look like you? This one from
12:00
Speaker 2: high school that you're using? Does this really, it's just,
12:04
Speaker 2: there's a point where you have to say, I am
12:07
Speaker 2: smarter than a package of candy. And the reason I
12:13
Speaker 2: bring this up because it doesn't just go here. I
12:15
Speaker 2: had a great conversation with a buddy last night owns
12:18
Speaker 2: a business, and he was talking about how he's still
12:23
Speaker 2: a proud business owner, even though it's nonstop work. And
12:30
Speaker 2: he looked at me and he goes, Neil, my business,
12:34
Speaker 2: they're restaurants, my business is in the middle of not one,
12:39
Speaker 2: not two, but.
12:42
Speaker 3: More than two lawsuits.
12:47
Speaker 2: And you would flip out on how, I mean, they're
12:52
Speaker 2: definitely not based in reality. They are someone coming across
12:57
Speaker 2: or having a family member-in-law or something.
12:59
Speaker 3: To me, they are just absurd. And the ADA is
13:03
Speaker 3: one of them.
13:04
Speaker 2: Listen, we're all for accessibility to those that are differently abled.
13:10
Speaker 3: I get that.
13:12
Speaker 2: You know, it's not in your favor because the majority
13:14
Speaker 2: of people don't have the exact same issues that you do.
13:19
Speaker 2: We're not as homogenous as things could be, I suppose.
13:23
Speaker 2: But it should be a fix-it ticket. You shouldn't be
13:28
Speaker 2: able to come in, measure something a quarter of an
13:31
Speaker 2: inch off, and that's not a joke.
13:33
Speaker 3: These are from actual cases.
13:36
Speaker 2: And be able to have 30 days to correct them
13:41
Speaker 2: rather than having to pay out immediately. And you could say, well,
13:44
Speaker 2: they should just go with a fine tooth comb. And no,
13:47
Speaker 2: because sometimes somebody who had the place beforehand got grandfathered in,
13:53
Speaker 2: or there's some different rule or whatever it might be.
13:57
Speaker 2: And that changes things. And it made me think of,
14:00
Speaker 2: you know, John Kobelt, the John and Ken show originally.
14:05
Speaker 2: I think it was the Trevor Law Group they went
14:06
Speaker 2: after that were using really poor practices and actually got
14:10
Speaker 2: their hands slapped afterwards. But they were using this California's
14:15
Speaker 2: unfair competition law and some weird loophole. And they were
14:19
Speaker 2: doing these cases where they may have only gotten $ 2, 000,
14:23
Speaker 2: $ 5, 000 a pop, but they littered. You can look up
14:28
Speaker 2: the facts yourself. They littered the courthouses. with these cases.
14:35
Speaker 2: And that adds up very, very quickly. And it's almost like, well,
14:41
Speaker 2: you know, who watches, I think this about, you know,
14:45
Speaker 2: who's watching the watchers type thing. I think this about Yelp.
14:49
Speaker 2: There should be a Yelp for Yelpers. You can say, no,
14:52
Speaker 2: this guy's a D-bag. I met him and he's horrible,
14:55
Speaker 2: doesn't know food or something. There should be something to
14:58
Speaker 2: where you know if the person doing the Yelp review
15:02
Speaker 2: is worth listening to or not.
15:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's happening. I'm going to make Yelp Yelp.
15:10
Speaker 2: Rain is a coming. Rain is a coming and it's.
15:16
Speaker 2: You heard Amy talking about it. It will be everywhere,
15:19
Speaker 2: sort of, kind of go across the Southland. But we're
15:22
Speaker 2: not expecting a whole ton, right, Amy? It's just going
15:25
Speaker 2: to be.
15:27
Speaker 3: We'll get a smattering. Is that what it's going to be?
15:29
Speaker 3: Would we call it a smattering?
15:31
Speaker 4: It may be a little bit more than a smattering,
15:33
Speaker 4: but we're expected to get rain across the region. And
15:38
Speaker 4: it's remnants of Hurricane Rachel.
15:40
Speaker 3: Okay.
15:40
Speaker 4: Okay.
15:41
Speaker 2: So we, you know, maybe a little bit on Saturday,
15:44
Speaker 2: but once you get into Sunday through Tuesday, it looks
15:46
Speaker 2: like that's going to be the sweet spot.
15:48
Speaker 4: Yeah, best chance for rain Sunday, Monday. Monday is a
15:51
Speaker 4: holiday for some.
15:53
Speaker 3: What is Monday?
15:54
Speaker 4: Columbus Day.
15:56
Speaker 3: You mean Indigenous People Day?
15:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, is that what they call it now?
15:59
Speaker 3: I think so. Columbus. Right? Don't we hate them? Yeah,
16:04
Speaker 3: they share a day now.
16:05
Speaker 2: Because that seems fair.
16:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little.
16:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, is John Kobelt going to do his yearly rant
16:17
Speaker 2: about how his wife, who's Italian, that it's an offense,
16:22
Speaker 2: it's racist or offensive to Italians?
16:26
Speaker 3: He's probably going to be like, ah, nobody's working today.
16:31
Speaker 2: We all sound the same when we do them.
16:35
Speaker 3: There's a rasp to it.
16:39
Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know this. is the actual
16:43
Speaker 2: John Cobalt is eight inches tall. It's an alien and
16:48
Speaker 2: it lives in the head of an animatronic and it
16:53
Speaker 2: controls John. And once I went in the restroom here
16:57
Speaker 2: at KFI and the little guy opened up the John Cobalt,
17:01
Speaker 2: there's a long nose hair he has and it pulls that,
17:05
Speaker 2: the hand pulls that, the head opens up and the
17:08
Speaker 2: little guy got out to use the toilet and then
17:11
Speaker 2: got back in And didn't wash its hands.
17:14
Speaker 3: It was weird. I don't know. The whole thing was weird.
17:17
Speaker 3: I have blocked it out until now.
17:20
Speaker 4: All right.
17:20
Speaker 3: Hurricane Rachel.
17:21
Speaker 2: So currently spinning right outside or right in the Pacific Ocean, rather.
17:26
Speaker 2: Expected to raise the risk of coastal flooding. All this
17:30
Speaker 2: in our beautiful Southern California area could bring widespread rain
17:34
Speaker 2: to the region. Some point this weekend and in early
17:37
Speaker 2: next week. I know I'm looking forward to a little
17:41
Speaker 2: bit of rain. Also, the temperatures are starting to drop.
17:45
Speaker 2: You know, right at around 55 degrees at night is
17:50
Speaker 2: when you start getting excited. Like that says the holidays
17:54
Speaker 2: are coming. That says you start putting some logs in
17:58
Speaker 2: the fireplace, those types of things. So forecasters are warning
18:03
Speaker 2: because any rain right now, we've had fires, we've had
18:06
Speaker 2: other issues. any rain right now becomes problematic. So, of course,
18:10
Speaker 2: forecasters are warning us that south-facing beaches, you've got Long Beach,
18:16
Speaker 2: the peninsula, I was there this week for an event,
18:19
Speaker 2: gorgeous Perugia, Catalina Island, coastline from Malibu to Ventura could
18:26
Speaker 2: be at particular risk of flooding. This is all because
18:31
Speaker 2: of Hurricane Rachel, of course, and that's the latest named
18:35
Speaker 2: entrant into this unusually active El Nino-fueled hurricane season. So basically, Amy,
18:44
Speaker 2: this is the tip of the iceberg. This is the
18:46
Speaker 2: beginning of the El Nino coming our way.
18:53
Speaker 3: El Nino.
18:56
Speaker 1: Right?
18:56
Speaker 3: This is the top. It's supposed to become that super
19:00
Speaker 3: El Nino.
19:00
Speaker 4: Super El Nino this winter.
19:02
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:03
Speaker 3: So this is probably our very first taste of it.
19:06
Speaker 4: Well, I think the first taste of it was a
19:08
Speaker 4: couple weeks ago when the beach.
19:09
Speaker 3: Started falling apart. Indeed.
19:12
Speaker 2: So we'll see how super it gets. But for now,
19:16
Speaker 2: you've got a flood risk and the arrival of a
19:19
Speaker 2: Kelvin wave. A Kelvin wave. Now, Kelvin is normally for
19:25
Speaker 2: light temperature.
19:26
Speaker 3: Kelvin. Kelvin.
19:28
Speaker 2: How many Kelvins it is? 3,000 Kelvins. 2,000 Kelvins.
19:34
Speaker 3: Do I hear 4,000 Kelvins? Let's get that warmth, shall we?
19:39
Speaker 2: Another feature of the El Nino is what that big
19:41
Speaker 2: wave is. It can raise sea levels by 6 to
19:44
Speaker 2: 12 inches. The higher the seas, the higher the socks,
19:49
Speaker 2: the downpours.
19:50
Speaker 3: The sea.
19:50
Speaker 2: No, that's not it. The higher the seas, the downer
19:53
Speaker 2: the fool. The higher the seas, the greater the threat
19:56
Speaker 2: for California's coastline. So something that we're going to be
19:59
Speaker 2: seeing in this. And, you know, hopefully you don't want
20:03
Speaker 2: to see anybody lose property. Poor Nick Cage.
20:05
Speaker 3: Am I right?
20:06
Speaker 2: You see that sinkhole out in front of his house?
20:08
Speaker 3: They can't do anything about that. Can't get to other homes.
20:10
Speaker 4: Swallowed up a porta potty.
20:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:13
Speaker 4: Hey, the Kelvin wave is supposed to have hit in
20:16
Speaker 4: late September and early October. So it's already here.
20:21
Speaker 2: It's just hard to keep up with all the holidays.
20:24
Speaker 2: The Kelvin wave is here. I've done zero Kelvin wave shopping.
20:29
Speaker 2: I fear the Kelvin wave holiday is way too commercial
20:33
Speaker 2: this year. It seems a sacrilege to do this next
20:37
Speaker 2: story without Mr. Handel here, Esquire. But it's a Costco story.
20:44
Speaker 2: So in 2026, the There's a lot of things we
20:49
Speaker 2: don't have in modern houses, kind of residential floor plans, 2026.
20:53
Speaker 2: We just really don't have like laundry chutes, milk doors.
20:59
Speaker 3: You know, it's cool.
21:00
Speaker 2: My brother and his husband, before they were married, rented
21:04
Speaker 2: a place down the street from the studio here in
21:06
Speaker 2: Toluca Lake, which is gorgeous. If you've never been to
21:09
Speaker 2: Toluca Lake, it's absolutely stunning. old 1920s houses and the like,
21:15
Speaker 2: very lovely. Plus they're a cool little community and they
21:18
Speaker 2: do like a Christmas parade there. If you haven't gone,
21:22
Speaker 2: look it up. It's really neat on the streets of
21:24
Speaker 2: Toluca Lake. Well, I remember they had one of those
21:27
Speaker 2: milk chutes, like the little box in the front where
21:30
Speaker 2: they would put the cold milk back.
21:34
Speaker 3: In the milkman days.
21:36
Speaker 2: And they'd put the milk in there and then you'd
21:38
Speaker 2: have a door on the inside where you could pull
21:39
Speaker 2: the milk through and put it into your refrigerator. But
21:42
Speaker 2: that way, it wasn't just sitting out on your porch
21:44
Speaker 2: and winning this little nook. And back in the day,
21:47
Speaker 2: you'd have those dumb waiters, which just seems rude. But,
21:52
Speaker 2: you know, home efficiencies, the way we lay out houses
21:56
Speaker 2: are different now because our desires, the things that we need,
22:00
Speaker 2: the things that we want is different. Well, they're talking
22:04
Speaker 2: about bringing a comeback to some of these kind of
22:07
Speaker 2: outside inside little cubbies. And one of them is the
22:10
Speaker 2: Costco door. So we love Costco. Costco is great. I'm
22:16
Speaker 2: a member of Costco. Maybe some of you are. And
22:19
Speaker 2: it's a bulk warehouse, big box store, as we call them.
22:23
Speaker 2: And these miniature doors connect a garage to a pantry
22:28
Speaker 2: or a kitchen so that shoppers can, you know, lift
22:33
Speaker 2: those massive 25 pound bags of something of jasmine rice
22:36
Speaker 2: or whatever they're doing. Kirkland's signature olive oil directly from
22:41
Speaker 2: their trunks of their vehicles into their homes rather than
22:44
Speaker 2: to transport them through multiple trips, you know, back and forth,
22:49
Speaker 2: back and forth. And, you know, unless you grab a box,
22:53
Speaker 2: there are no bags or anything at Costco, right? You
22:55
Speaker 2: get those fruit boxes or something and you use an
23:00
Speaker 2: empty fruit box and then that becomes.
23:04
Speaker 3: your Costco bag. So you shove everything in there.
23:07
Speaker 2: Well, now people are thinking about getting these little Costco
23:11
Speaker 2: doors so that they can, from their garage, just put
23:16
Speaker 2: the stuff in to the house via this little back
23:19
Speaker 2: special door. And more and more builders are being asked
23:23
Speaker 2: to put these things in, or if someone's building a
23:26
Speaker 2: new home, to be able to put these things in
23:29
Speaker 2: so they can push all these items through a small
23:31
Speaker 2: door from the garage to the pantry or the kitchen.
23:35
Speaker 2: And not exacerbate any back issues or anything like that.
23:40
Speaker 2: And we get deliveries as well from different places, whether
23:44
Speaker 2: it be Walmart or a local grocer does deliveries.
23:50
Speaker 3: A very small grocery store does deliveries in our area.
23:53
Speaker 3: But we get.
23:55
Speaker 2: Like water, a lot of water bottles and things like
23:58
Speaker 2: that for the backyard in case our son has kids over. Also,
24:06
Speaker 2: I leave during the hot month. I leave a cooler
24:08
Speaker 2: out for the postal service and delivery services and stuff
24:14
Speaker 2: that come to the house.
24:15
Speaker 3: And you go through that stuff fast.
24:16
Speaker 2: Well, we were bringing it in last night and it's
24:19
Speaker 2: big old things of water. And water obviously is heavy
24:23
Speaker 2: in bulk like that. And I thought, well, maybe I'll
24:26
Speaker 2: leave some of it out on the front porch and
24:29
Speaker 2: then I'll just put it into the ice every now
24:31
Speaker 2: and again. And I guess that's kind of Excuse me,
24:34
Speaker 2: the same thing. You're you're wanting a shorter path to
24:38
Speaker 2: getting it in the house. But these new two foot
24:41
Speaker 2: by two foot Costco doors are becoming more and more
24:46
Speaker 2: popular to be able to get things. To me, I'd
24:48
Speaker 2: be nervous as to, you know, two feet by two feet.
24:51
Speaker 2: You could get somebody in. You can get somebody in
24:54
Speaker 2: that house. I mean, you thought a doggy door could
24:57
Speaker 2: be easy. This could be something as well. All right,
25:01
Speaker 2: stick around. We've got more to come. We've got Councilwoman
25:04
Speaker 2: Monica Rodriguez from District 7 coming on about the state
25:08
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles, thoughts on the election and beyond. So
