  Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM 640, the Bill Handel Show
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app. KFI AM 640, Bill
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Handel here. On a Monday morning, October 19th, a couple
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: weeks away from the big midterm elections. And right now,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: here's some of the stories we're looking at. Elon Musk,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you heard that in the news as Amy was reporting.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk is offering every child in America... One share
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of SpaceX. And it's worth about $ 10 billion if you
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: go across the board. And Elon Musk, number one, can
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: afford it. Number two, it's not out of his pocket. Oh,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: it could be.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: But he's offering it out of the corporation. So it's
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: kind of neat. I'll buy that. Okay. Talking about the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: story of.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: What happens at sororities and fraternities, particularly fraternities, the Cornell–
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: The Cornell incident that happened, the rape incident, the Cornell cases,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Cornell seven cases or seven case, a former student alleged
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: she was gang raped during a drug fueled episode at
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a frat party in 2024. Jane Doe and Cornell got
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: into a world of hurt in terms of how they
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: handled it, because the bottom line is no is no.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: What the frat brothers are saying is that she basically consented.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: She's arguing she was drugged.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And the problem is, as the frats say, when someone
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: consents in the middle of it, you say, no, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: it's hard just to stop. That's what they say. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: reality is it's not that hard just to stop.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: No is no. So what is going on as a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: result of all this? Well, new rules are being put
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: into place.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: You now have frat parties and you have sorority parties
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: where pledges have to be made on a big sign.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Say, here are the rules. And you have to read
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: the rules. And there's no excessive drinking. And no means no.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And in many cases, there is none of this fraternization
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: as we know it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Ain't going to be sex.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Although, what's a party for? I mean, come on. You
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: go to fraternity, you go to sorority, and... It's, I mean,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I never joined a sorority. Were you ever in a sorority,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: by the way, Amy? Yes.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: You mean a fraternity?
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: No, sorority. No, I'm sorority.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Sorority.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Women sororities.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I'm alpha fee.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And did you have wow parties?
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Wow. Did you have a drink or two?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: OK, now, well, I'm assuming there was a lot of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: sex involved because you're students, you're drunk and that's what
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: young people do. No, no, no.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not asking.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not asking her specifically. I'm just saying I'm assuming
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: there was at these parties. I'm not going to connect
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the two.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Amy was the hall monitor. Yeah, well, that's the whole part.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: That's I was the hall monitor. I was the.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Fraternity trainer so I was like the mom for the pledges.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Got it and that is okay but that is how
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: many years ago was that that was a long time
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: ago okay today it's now the norm today particularly in
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: fraternities that's where they have to go because it turns
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: out between hazing which is horrific and can be horrific
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it goes all the way from sort of that's kind
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of fun to making an ass out of yourself to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: straight dangerous dangerous activity life-threatening stuff and into sex, which
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: may not be consensual.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It goes over the line.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And so across the country now, the rules are in place.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the students themselves put the rules in place and others,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: the school band-aids it. And here is the one argument,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the one argument that makes sense to me as to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: why these rules should not be in place or they
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: should be loosened up. And the argument is, hey, that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: means we're just going to have to have these parties
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: off campus.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: That's all. They won't be sorority or fraternity parties.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the sororities never had them. The fraternities are the
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: ones that had the parties. But they did off-campus parties
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: back then, too.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: And the schools can't control that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Right. Off-campus parties. And you have young people. I mean,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: we're talking about students, college students. I never engaged in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: any of those parties. First of all, I didn't know
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: if there were fraternities at Cal State Northridge. I have
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: no idea if they had any.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Yes, there are.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I had no idea.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Because I know they have an Alpha Phi chapter there.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: An Alpha Phi?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: That's my sorority.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay. And is it a— what kind of sorority is it?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: What do you mean, what kind of sorority?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Don't they have, like, a high-end student? Don't they have, like,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: scholar fraternities where people play chess and they drink fruit juice?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: We did not belong to that one.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Was your sorority known as a party sorority?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: At Oregon State it was. Okay. San Diego State, that's
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: another great one.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And did you have a hard time controlling what was
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: happening at those parties as the house monitor?
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I wasn't the house monitor.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: I was the fraternity trainer, and so I was responsible
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: for the pledges for the first years, the freshmen, when
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: they came in.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Did I have trouble controlling them?
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you know, they can do what they want,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: but there were certain guidelines that we taught the girls
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: about before we went over to the fraternity parties.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And so can we put it this way? You do
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: not sound fun.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Was there any issue with no means?
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: I was a ton of fun.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And was there any issue with no means no?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Gee.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: You can remember?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Okay. Just curious.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Fair enough. A very benign sorority. Good for you.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: I don't think that we had anything going on like
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: what allegedly happened at Cornell.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Or other schools. The problem is this is not this
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: is not atypical. And unfortunately, it happens way too often. OK.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, here's a topic I want to share with you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Something that I have been saying, we can't wait.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I can't wait.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And this is the second go round for me in
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the I can't wait category. And I'll share that with
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: you when we come back.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: You're listening to Bill Handel On Demand from KFI AM 640.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: KFI AM 640. Bill Handel. It is a Monday morning,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: October the 19th. Two weeks, actually. Two weeks from tomorrow.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: The midterms.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: We're going to be talking about that just a little
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: bit over the next couple of weeks. Two things that
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take credit for.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: And now, you know.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: A lot of times I'm right. More times than that,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. Sometimes I'm sort of in the middle, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take credit for two things. One is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: waiting for technology, knowing it was coming, knowing absolutely there
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: was no issue. And that has to do with my
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: world and my life in the world of surrogacy. When
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I first started doing surrogate parenting, we waited for IVF.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to come in and basically finish the formula. It started
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: with artificial insemination, but it finished with IVF.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: We knew it was coming. I was waiting for it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And when it hit, I was prepared.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: The other thing that I have been waiting for and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: just saying it's coming are the self-driving cars. And in
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: this case, self-driving trucks. Now, Trucks are actually more important. No,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that's not fair to say. Cars, self-driving cars are the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: wave of the future as they should be. Because if
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you have self-driving cars, they are safer than any person
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that can be driving.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: They have sensors.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: They can read well-designed and well-run safe driving cars.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: And we're getting the technology is there.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Look at Waymo, where you, these cars sense what's going on. They, you,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: know what the speed limit is. They're not going to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: brake if someone's in front of them. They're not going
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: to slam on their brakes because they're able to slow down,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: read the environment.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: It's just a lot safer.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Matter of fact, if everybody was driving or was sitting
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in a self-driving car, we would have absolutely no gridlock.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter if we had another million drivers on
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the freeways. It wouldn't matter because the cars could literally
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: go 65 miles an hour, two inches from each other.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: So those are self-driving cars. Safety makes a lot of sense.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Gas mileage, I mean, all of it. Now, the trucks,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: because you add 18-wheelers to that mix. First of all,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a car getting into an accident with an 18-wheeler, they're
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: going to lose that conversation very quickly. But the second
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: most expensive part of driving these 18-wheelers is the cost
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: of labor. Well, with self-driving trucks, there ain't no labor.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: It's not there. And the trucks are infinitely safer. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: they get better gas mileage. And that's the wave of
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the future. The technology is there already. There's testing that's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: being done. particularly, I think, in Arizona, where they have
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like nice long roads that don't have much traffic on there.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: And the testing is panning out. It is working.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: We are going to see self-driving trucks actually expanding at
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a rapid, more rapid pace. Especially in you're looking at
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the cost of diesel and it's not going to come
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: down anytime soon.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: You're also going to see electric.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Well, I think, was it, Musk already has a 18-wheeler
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: that's all electric. And I think it's not, it may
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: not be in the manufacturing phase. It may not be
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in production, but it's certainly there. And things are going
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to change dramatically. Now, here again, I'm going to prognosticate.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: There will be a time, and I don't know, it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: certainly not this generation, because let's say every car now
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: has to be a self-driving car. Well, it's going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: take a generation to get through the cars that are
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: already on the road. You can't force people to buy
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: a car. So as those leave the market, as those
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: leave the roads and are replaced with self-driving, it's going
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to be a much safer, cheaper way of living. And
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: it's going to reach the point where the only internal
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: combustion engine cars will be those for people who are
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: using them as a hobby. And they won't be allowed
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: on the roads. They won't be allowed, well, certainly won't
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: be allowed on the freeways. In the next generation, you
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: are going to see the number of deaths plummet. You
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: are going to see people getting in those cars drunk
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: on their asses, and it doesn't matter. The designated driver
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: will be the vehicle itself. And I'm pretty excited, not
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: for me, because I'll be long gone and you'll be
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: long gone by the time this really kicks in. And
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: maybe not even your kids. But, what, 35, 40 years
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: from now, you're going to see a very.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Different way of driving and getting around. Okay. Oh, here's
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: a fun one. Lions and tigers and bears. Well, actually,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: just bears.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, my.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: And it's in Japan. How do the two combine? Well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the Japanese bears. This is going to be a great story,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and this is fascinating stuff.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I love this, and we'll be back with that.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: You're listening to Bill Handel On Demand from KFI AM 640.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: KFI AM 640. Handel here on a Monday morning, October 19th,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and a lot going on today for sure. France in
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the middle of those demonstrations. Calm down a little bit,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: but it's exploded across the country, the students. demonstrating because
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: of conditions in the schools, because of inflation, because of
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the economy, and looters got involved.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Of course they did.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: And the war continues where the president is, and we're
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: still seeing fallout from him deciding that he likes Putin
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: again and has lifted the restrictions of Putin selling diesel fuel.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: throughout the world on the world market in light of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the sanctions that he imposed a few months ago. Now,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: let's go to Japan for a moment. Japan has really
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: interesting stuff going on. Japan, I don't know if you've
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: ever been to Japan, but it's a fascinating country. And
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: what I didn't think was it has a real problem
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: with bears, as in lions and tigers and bears. They
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: don't have any tigers. They don't have any lions. But
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: they do have bears. So there's a story that came
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: out of a Washington Post about Naboru Kadiki, who stopped
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: outside of his home to pick up his newspaper, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: there was the bear.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: He said, I thought that was it for me.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: The Asian black bear bit him on the hand and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: sent him to the hospital for a week. And when
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Kuriki shouted after being bit, the bear ran off. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: it was the first bear attack in the village in
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: more than a decade. The problem is bear attacks are
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: on the rise in Japan. And authorities are trying everything
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to protect people, staging safety drills.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: What is a safety drill when it comes to a bear?
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know. What do you do to get bears
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: away from you? Kiss your ass goodbye?
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: That's a very, very good idea, yeah. So they're on
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: the rise in Japan, and they're trying to protect people.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Safety drills, loosening hunting restrictions, deploying the military. It's the
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: army against the bears. The bears, still around.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: They're undeterred.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: 233 people were wounded in bear attacks during the 2025
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: fiscal year.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: 62 more people were wounded fatally, six of them, during
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: the five months of this year, the first five months
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of this year. So what are they doing to protect
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: themselves from bears? Well, I'll tell you what they're doing.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: They're using AI. How does AI connect to protecting oneself
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: from a bear? Well, AI-generated maps that they're coming up
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: with predict where bears are likely to appear. Robots are
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: using to patrol edges of the inhabited areas.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Of the bears. There goes the bear robots.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Drones are flying overhead to detect the bears by heat
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: signatures and then blast them with pepper spray. So the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: drones come by and blast the bears with pepper spray.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Is it helping? Not really. Bear encounters are on pace
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: to surpass last year. Why?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Well, here's what the researchers are saying, the Japanese researchers,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: while they're eating sushi. The population of Japan is declining.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: People are moving from rural and mountainous regions to cities,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: allowing the Asian black bears and the brown bears to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: expand their habitats. Climate change, shrinking hunting populations, So the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: bears have more room. They're encroaching on people. It's the
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: other way around for us. We're destroying habitats for our
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: wild critters. What's happening is they are expanding and the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: bears are coming next to the people because they just
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: have more room. And animal trails are hard to see.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So the animals pass underneath dense clusters of trees because
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that's what bears have a tendency to. So you can't
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: really spot the trails with ordinary light, but if you
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: use thermal cameras, they show up pretty cleanly. So the argument,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: does a bear do its thing in the woods? Well,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: with thermal imaging, you can find there are piles of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: bear markings. By the way, stepping on a pile of
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: bear dung, you're up to your ankles and maybe up
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: to your mid-thigh. It is not a pleasant occurrence, believe me.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And so, this technology has helped authorities capture nine bears
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: so far, and under guidelines issued by the Fukushima Prefecture,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: captured animals shall either be killed or released. depending on
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: whether that area is known for bear sushi. And if
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: it is known for bear sushi, then the animals are killed.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Isn't there such thing as do people eat bear? There's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: bear jerky out there, isn't there? And it's pretty disgusting stuff.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: So there is a research team at Sophia University in
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Tokyo is using AI to consider a whole range of criteria.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: bear encounter records, census data, satellite imagery, and they're going
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to generate a map which is going to show you
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: how you're going to get eaten, bitten, and killed by
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: a bear and tell you what the chances are. So
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: there you go. You want to get eaten by a bear?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: You go to Japan.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Done with that story. I just thought that was fun.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Bears in Japan. Why not?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: And now let's finish it up with a Disney story. Amy,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: this one's for you. Neil, this one's for you. And
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: probably one of the best marketing companies on the planet
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: is really diving into something. They may have not pioneered it, but, man,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: they're taking it to new levels. And I'll tell you
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: exactly what that is when we come back.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: You're listening to Bill Handel On Demand from KFI AM640.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: KFI Handel here on a Monday morning, October 19th. I'm
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: starting a new podcast with Linz. It's going to be
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: a travel podcast. And as Neil pointed out this morning,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: our relationship is chaos after chaos. So the travel part
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: is going to be a lot of chaos. In any case,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: there is some stuff already up online. And the show
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: is Excessive Baggage. So Instagram, you can go to Excessive
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Baggage Podcast. TikTok, Excessive Baggage. And we already have some
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: videos of me having sex with a giraffe.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Eddie, I'm very close. to Eddie. You'll see my interaction
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: with Eddie.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe not sex, maybe just petting, heavy petting with the giraffe. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: it's a whole world in it. And so we're going
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: to have a great time with it. Animals, watching lion stooping.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: It was in Africa just a So you'll see some
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: lion porn, which is very strong.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Lion on lion action? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, yeah.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: And not me with a male giraffe. This is real
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: regular sex.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: So excessive baggage. I'm having a hard time seeing, so
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I apologize because I have the sty. I'm blind this morning. Instagram,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: excessive baggage. Podcast, TikTok, excessive baggage. And you can get
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: some of the stuff at Bill Handel's show on the website.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Okay. Now, oh, Disney. That's what I was going to do.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Disney story. This is for Neil and this is for Amy.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: One of the things about Disney is it has marketing
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: to a level that is– Well, I don't think many
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: other companies do that. There's two companies I can think
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: of where the resume is the best resume you could
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: ever have. One is Procter & Gamble. If you come
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: out of Procter & Gamble in their marketing division, you
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: are at the top of the heap. It's basically Harvard
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: top 10%. And when you're talking about theme parks and entertainment, Disney.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: You come out of Disney with their marketing, out of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: their marketing arm, and that's Harvard, the top 1%. So
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: where are they going? Well, what is Disney doing? It's
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: now courting creators, influencers. Now, a lot of companies do that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Disney is not the first one out, but one is
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: one of the first, and on this level.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: To court creators. And I mean really court them.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Disney recently brought nearly 70 Latino creators to Burbank from
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: all over the country and brought them to Burbank and,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: of course, the Disneyland Resort for a three-day summit. as
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: a broad effort to turn fan enthusiasm into audience loyalty.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And they could even use Amy and Neil, except that
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: these influencers, 70 of these, have a combined reach of
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: over 200 million people. So, you know, a little bit
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: deeper reach.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Right, Amy?
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: I don't have quite that many followers.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: No, no, but it does work.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: And one of the things I want to bring up,
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: because this is a sign of a fun personal experience
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: that I have.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: When Disney brings.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: These creators in, It's three days at the park. They
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: don't wait in line for any ride. It's the best
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: food you can get. It's suites at the hotel. It
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: is private tours of the studios. It's looking at rides
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: being manufactured and designed. I mean, it doesn't get better
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: than that. And they simply want these influencers to talk
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: about how great Disney is, which Disney is. But man,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: to be treated that well. So let's go back 30 years, 1995, 1996.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I was, and you can see this, I was the
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: host of a court show. It was a Disney show
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: called Judge for Yourself. It should have been named The
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Crap Show because it was quite conceivably the worst television
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: show in the history of television.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: And it lasted one season. But let me tell you
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: what Disney does.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: To sell the shows, they do it at something called NAPTI,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: which is where they sell syndicated programming. Every year they
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: have this sort of a trade show. And it was
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: in Orlando the year I went. And since I was
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: the host of a Disney show, they didn't know at
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: that point it was going to go into the toilet
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: in the first 30 seconds when it started airing. I
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: got to be a Disney sort of guest there. where
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I went to the park. Oh, they assigned someone to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: be with me. We drove to the backs of the ride,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: so you didn't have to bother with the people in front.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: The food had a suite at the hotel, walked into
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: the room, and it was every Disney character, plush character
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: you can get your hands on. And it was, I
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: got to tell you, it was one of the highlights
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: of my life. It was almost worth having the worst
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: television show in the history of mankind. Now, and by
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: the way, you can see as Judge for Yourself is
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the name of the show. You can YouTube it. I
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: weighed over 300 pounds at that time. You won't recognize me,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: and you will see how terrible I was. But the
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: point I'm making is to the extent that I was
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: treated well is nothing compared to what these influencers are being,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: how they're being treated. And does it make sense?
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, you bet. You bet. Because what Disney does in marketing.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: you can pay attention to because they do it better
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: than virtually everybody else on the planet. Okay.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: That's it. We're done, guys. So much for that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow we all come back and we do it all
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: over again. It starts Wake Up Call with Will and Amy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Neil and I come aboard. Tony, who is here on Mondays,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: is not here tomorrow. Mario, our regular guy, comes tomorrow
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: through Friday. Actually, through Saturday, too.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: That's it, guys. We're done. Gary and Shannon up next.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here trying to do something with this
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: sty in my eye so I can actually see because
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not being able to see anything.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: You're going to go use a teabag as a hot compress.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be teabagged. That's correct. Yeah. There's no question.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: That'll help.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of fun even when I don't have
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: a sty. This is KFI AM640.
