• 1:32
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, and she goes, I would go to punk
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: shows there. I'm like, yeah, that Cathe de Grand was
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: right there on Selma and the low ceilings, and she goes, yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in the tiny stage that basically you walk in the door,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it was a closet.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It was a closet.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So growing up, my buddy Paco, he had they built
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: his dad built that was an FBI agent, and he
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: built a separate room in the garage for him his
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: son to have space. So he had this his bedroom
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was in the garage and it had this weird overhang
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: with this small It didn't have a closet. It had
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: like this small space. So we called it the Cathay
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: for based on the Cathe to Grond because it had
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: these low ceilings. It was this tiny little space, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know that's kind of where you if you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you're in your teens and if you're making out, you're
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: kind of making out in that little room. Or anyways,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: all of saying, we started going down this path of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: these old punk rock clubs were in crap parts of town,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and we start going down and talked about it. She's like, yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and there was this and Mystic Records was the label
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: we were on when I was in my I was
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: like fourteen. There was no legal way I should have
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: been able to sign a contract. But all that area
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is it brings up those memories of these little hole
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in the wall punk rock place. And then we started
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: talking about Ha's past and uh wow, and had known
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: some people. You knew some people, some big names, yep up,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: some good times. Enjoyed it. So I want to get
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you drunk because I want to hear every little detail.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I wish I could share it. But she uh, she
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: pulled out this big baton she called the equalizer and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: looked at Cono and me and said, this doesn't leave
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the room. So I pete a little, ConA pete a little,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and we promised it would stay here. Amy you ever
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: do anything crazy? No, never didn't think.

  Speaker 3: So I'm just glad there was no social media when
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: I was a kid.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: She's all one time.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: At band camp. I never went to band camp.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Oh you could have frozen time and said what is
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: she going to say? And none of us would have
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: thought that. She's like one time I was having a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: vegacle and I let one of my cats look at
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and then I ate it again.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: You guys are so funny.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I'm so bad.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You think I'm innocent.

  Speaker 2: new skinny trends. Speaking of Anne, tiny little thing. You God,

  Speaker 2: I want to party with you so bad. Right now,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: there is cyclospora. We've all been talking about bad things.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The lettuce he gets on food. It gives you the ria,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: gives you the I fives, it gives you the green
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: apple two step.

  Speaker 3: Thank you for that sound?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from? Was that Will?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Or?

  Speaker 2: Are you pressing buttons in there? Adam? Wasn't me? Who
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was that? Was that? Will? Okay? Guilty?

  Speaker 2: Okay, Geez couldn't well listen. I try and do a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: respectable show and handles out. So there's the outbreak of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: that disease causing that parasite there makes you infectious, gives you,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, diarrhea, cha cha cha. And now people are
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: trying to get it odd purpose to lose weight. They're
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: calling it cyclospora skinny. It's also called the diarrhea diet,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the diaryot So there's a pediatric physician in Turtle Medicine.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Doctor joined News Nation to talk about the trend. He says,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it's a concerning trend. We've been talking about cyclospora for
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: a few weeks now. It is problematic. It is a
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: ad bug that's caused per persistent diarrhea. I thought it
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: was going to say, like parasitic persistent diarrhea, dominal cramping,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: feeling very uncomfortable, but boy, are you looking good? He
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: didn't say that. I said that. So social media influencers,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of course, the brain the uh, the brain faction that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: runs America are talking about losing weight by getting it
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: now diarrhea and stool looseners and stuff that's been used before,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Like haven't women used laxatives and things like that to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: lose weight? Amy, I can hear my gut. Why are
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: you looking at me? I'm not you? Oh sorry, missus Svelt.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: We thought we'd start with you.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I have not ever done that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, fn Fenn, what have you done? Olestra?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Nope?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: What are you on?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Nope?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: What are you doing?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Obvious? I'm not on anything. Now you noticed and told
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the world that it looks like I've put on some weight.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: No, we did that to balance the the weights of justice.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Because Handle always gets to Ann who's tiny and goes
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: there's ant and I think he's got an issue like
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: mom issues like he sees it because she controls his life.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: No, I've done like controlled dieting stuff like just severe
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: calorie restrictions and that kind of stuff, but not any
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: like pills except for like, what was that stuff like
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: when we were in our twenties cross stops. No, it
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: was like a thing that you got it like a
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Dexa trim or yeah, like Dexa trim and it I
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: couldn't do it just speed pretty much because it would
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: just give you like the jitters and make you feel sick.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: When I was.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Working on Handle thirty plus years ago as an intern,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I was I would go straight to work from here
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: for a full time job and then come drive out.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: This was from Newbury Park by the way, drive out
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: in the morning to work for free for him, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I was doing no do's man because I would have
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to put on a suit and go to work afterwards
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: for a full day, you know, get home, go to bed,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: four hours sleep, come back in and do that. That
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: stuff's a bad pan. That not good, all right, don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: get the poopies to lose weight. There's glp ones there.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You can spend money and just have your guts tied
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it and not like me forty plus pounds two months. Mhm,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I lost a whole Kno, all right, we're just talking
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: about old radio and it's just the old scene. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: it was I don't know, I reminisce about that. So
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: some guy writes it and who was this who called
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: it actually about? We were talking about old punk rock venues,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: and Mike hit us up. He said, Tuesday night was
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: dollar night at the Cathet the Grand and Suicidal Tendency
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: played there constantly, and that the fire marshal would shut
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: it down because it was no bigger than a closet,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and if you had ten people in there, it was
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: two anyways, all the old days. So it got me
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: thinking about this one place. It was the Ukrainian Cultural
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Center or something on Melrose used to have shows there
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: and I don't live that far from it these days,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and it had a payphone outside, and it used to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: be the payphone that I would go call. I was
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: in my teens, man, so I would call my parents
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: let them know if I was going to be late,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: if I was seeing a show or something like that.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: And here this story is twenty twenty six. The headline
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: says LA to shell out one million dollars to keep
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: payphones ringing across the region. I get it, there's poor people.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: There's a need maybe in these areas, but I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: see people without phones. So when I see a payphone,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I look at it and I go, that's for drug dealing.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And they're always in the worst areas. And to spend
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a million dollars to keep two hundred and fifty payphones
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: throughout the county working raises an eyebrow. Again. I say
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: this all the time. Fill the potholes, you know, get
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the easy one right, Get the easy ones right. You
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: do that stuff and we will follow you anywhere. Fix
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the sidewalks, you know, trim the trees, have them not
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: you know, going through power lines and things like that.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Do the basic stuff. I don't know if we need
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: all these, but the supervisors are seeking approval for yeah,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: a million dollars, nine one hundred and fifty three thousand
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: dollars this contract maintain services to about two hundred and
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: fifty pay phones around the county. So ultimately they you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: some of our them are at shriff's facilities, hospitals, maybe
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: county parks and the like. But this is this is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: not for you and me to make a call. They
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: say sixty percent of the revenue for payphones producing one
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars or more revenue each month according to the contract,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: So you know what's that county will not get a
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: share of the revenue for payphones that generate ninety nine
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: dollars or less a month. So they're only going to
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: make money over one hundred bucks as far as sharing
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in that. And they you know that there's to what
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: end when everybody's running around with a device in their hand,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that million dollars can do something else somewhere out. So
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I need to hear a better argument if you're going
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to have one outside of a if you're going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: have one outside of a sheriff's office or a hospital
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: or something, then have them take care of the revenue
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and take care of the phones and the upkeep like
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: they do the vending machines or anything else.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: The phones used to pay for themselves.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but they aren't going to now, they're just not.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: You're not going to get enough calls if you're only
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in especially if you're waiting for it to get So,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: what is it twenty five cents or is it fifty
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: cents to make a call these dates? I have no idea.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I have no idea. I haven't made a phone call
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: on a pay phone for a probably fifteen years.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: It doesn't It doesn't sound cool to drop a quarter.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I dropped a quarter on that guy. You got to
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: drop a dime. Dropping a dime on a guy sounds cool?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Is that where they're originated?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you drop a dime on a guy. You drop
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a dime in there, and you call.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Please deposit another ten cents?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: You know, you do a nickel upstate at a four yard.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: People know that because I was your phone. Huh yeah, cono,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I know some things. It's not just people in the ie.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: What is Amy's like? Oh got it? Yeah? Oh oh
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: well that makes sense.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Well I don't know much about prison culture.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Well, she says, ask ahnd she's fun AND's fun.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Man, No, that just means she got caught.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: No, she's yeah, Amy like a cat, Like a cat, yeah,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: all right, so use that million dollars for something else. There.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: We're moving right through the news. Smart glasses metas smart glasses.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I have a pair. They do not have prescribed lenses
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: in them, so I only use them infrequently, but I
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: love them. They're actually very cool for a couple reasons.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: The ability to listen to music in them is awesome.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I let my boy use them sometimes in the car.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: He can listen to music and do whatever. They're just
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a really cool technology. I can also ask questions just
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: the same way you would Surrey or anything else. You
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: could sit there and you can ask questions and it'll
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: give you the answer in your ear. It's really cool technology.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: The camera can also be used to tell you what
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: you're seeing, so for blind folks, I hear that. It's
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: you know, they would spend five grand for systems to
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: be able to do that, and you're spending three hundred,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty dollars to be able to go
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: what's in front of me, or to read things. It
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: can read things. They can also translate, so you could
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: have someone talking to you in a different language and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: they'll translate in your ear. Phenomenal technology. They're being referred
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to as pervert glasses. And I'm humored to no end
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: about this because everyone walks around with a camera in
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: their hand everywhere they go, and it's not as inconspicuous
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: as you think, or maybe it is. It's more inconspicuous.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Is it spicuous? No, it's not spicuous. Is it to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: know whether someone's filming you or just scroll it? And
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: there is also people. There are also people that you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: go to an outdoor setting and you're sitting there and
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: they're filming you or videoing you in your face because
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: they have the First Amendment right to do so. Because
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: you're in public. Anything that's going on in public, you
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: can videotape. There is no there. It's public. I mean
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: technically if they can see in your window, if they
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: can see it from the street or something, they can
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: video it. They can see it from the street. You
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: might have a case. My neighbor has cameras that are
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: on part of our I mean, I know they see
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: stuff we do. Now there's a certain amount of that
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: that's going to bleed over. I'm very very cautious about that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: We have many cameras, but I set them in ways
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and I talk to my neighbors about them. If it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: going to bleed in, or I make it not bleed in,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and there's certain rules. Well, now people have a massive
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: backlash against meta smart glasses. I've seen people wear them
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: in the wild. I do not. I like them for
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: when I'm in my shop if i want to video
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: what I'm doing with my hands, if I'm shooting, you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I can shoot video of things time lapse. I can
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: do all kinds of things of a project I'm working on.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: If I'm cooking and I'm going to post something, then
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I could do that with my glasses. Whatever I'm looking at,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think about a little red light comes on.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you can disable it or put something over it,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: painted whatever. But I'm humored that people are freaked out
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: by the glasses. The truth of the matter is there
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: is no privacy. Think of all glasses there. It is
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: so easy to get a button on your shirt that
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: is a camera, a pen in your pocket that is
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: a camera. There there are so many more stealthy ways
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: to get photos of you that are still legal. Check
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: your local listenings. But that I humored that these had
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and it happened with the first ones the Google glass.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: If you remember, people were getting punched because they were
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: wearing them and they and it was partially because they
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: looked lame. But now they're ray bands. They look pretty much.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: They're a little thicker rimmed. I spot them pretty quickly.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I interviewed a firefighter some last year sometime and you
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: immediately when he sat down that he was wearing them.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And I thought, that's actually a cool idea firefighters having them.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: If they're going on site somewhere and they're looking through,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: they've got that now recorded. You could also pass that
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: through I'm sure to a mobile unit, have somebody watching
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: what you're watching as you go through. So yes, can
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: it be abused like anything else? Phones are abused, these
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: little cameras that are found everywhere. You know there was
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the uh hash the Stewart or something on a plane
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: that had little cameras or a phone or something hidden
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: in the toilet. We hear about those things all the time,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: little tiny cameras. I got to tell you, if somebody
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: is going to do it, they're probably not going to
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: do it with those glasses. Even though there are going
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to be perverts that use them. And I'll tell you
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: why they're perverts. They're going to use any tool, they're
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: going to put mirrors on their shoes, they're going to
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: do whatever they can because they're perverts. But it doesn't
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: mean anybody who has those things are perverts. The technology
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: is pretty spectacular and the amount of help they can
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: give you if you're in this business. For instance, being
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: able to use them would be great. Being able to
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: use them to video a guest or something like that
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: is a is pretty cool technology. There is a there's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: an old saying misuse does not bar use, and that
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: means that people are going to misuse everything, but it
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't bar the use the proper use of something. That's
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: another thing we're going to be getting to talk about
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: in the eight o'clock hour is that someone bad people
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: are always going to do bad things, but you know
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: who pays for it? The good people. We're always the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: one that have to ask for the key for the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: spray paint or someone to come over to get razors for.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: What the hell was that was that a dog? Oh?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Someone says this snieze It sounded like the hounds of Hell.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I think it was col Schreiber's sneezing.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: What is with his body functions today. What are you
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: talking about me?
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you made two sounds earlier. Now you're you're sneezing
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: like a ninety year old Jewish man. I have so
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: many sneezes in this booth. I think there's dust. Oh
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: I don't have a cold.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, So the backlash my clothes. You were supposed
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: to hear it?
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: No, I write it down the hall. Yeah, it reverberated
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: through the empty halls. The KFI studio helps it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: In my knee, I thought a storm was coming. So uh,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: just if you look for the little light on, look
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: for people doing weird things. I get all that, But
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: the technology is not the problem. The individual is the problem.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: And we have to stop punishing those of us that
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: don't use things for bad in bad ways, because we're
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the ones that keep getting put in the corner for
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: some pervert. And those perverts are thankfully few and far between.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: There's only one butt sniffer of Burbank that I'm aware of,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: and that is Tim Conway Junior. No, there's only one
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: that I know of, right, and they're going to start
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: banning kneeling down at bookstores because some guy likes to
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: sniff Rando's behind No I say nay, all right, good
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Friday morning to you. Neil Savader in the morning crew
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: here handle is off today. He's always a little off right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: just a wee bet so I I those of you
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: who know me here at KFI. I've been everywhere at
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: KFI behind the scenes. I like all of it. I
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like when I was doing marketing. I designed a lot
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: of billboards here at KFI. My predecessor, Bill Lewis, and
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: David G. Hall, who is the program director when I
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: first came here very early on, brought me in to
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: sit in and talk about billboard stuff and I was
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: very honored by that. And then as they left and
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: working with Robin Berd Lucian like, it's just it's been
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: a big thing, working with marketing billboards, finding ways to
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: get KFI out there and doing gorilla marketing is one
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: of my favorite things. And it's one of the things
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: that I love about LA and it's kind of gone
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: by the side. They've kind of moved in with and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I mean marketing groups with experiences, and I think that's great.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: These these experiences where you go somewhere and they make
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: a makeshift building or something, you walk in and you
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: experience something, and I love those things. But man, we
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: are a driving city. We drive in Los Angeles. You know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: as we just heard, Monks and Merrill are going to
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: be talking about writing public transit. We don't do that
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: a lot here. It's not like New York. New York,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: you're great for that. You just hop on the subway.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: If you're going to go out to bar hopping, you
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: don't have to worry about that stuff. But seeing this
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: man living inside the billboard on Sunset Boulevard, but Boulevard,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: if you haven't heard about this to promote a film,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: just brought back all those really cool moments LA moments,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: billboard moments, especially radio. We used to use billboards like
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: nobody's business. It's just you're in your car usually when
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: you're listening to radio. I know now with iHeartRadio app
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that, we listen to it everywhere. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: know I do. I've got it on me all the time.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: But it reminds you of being this kinetic, connective city
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: that we haven't seemed to be in some time. And
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: I like seeing this. So this is in West Hollywood
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and it's on Sunset and Selma that started us talking
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: about it a little earlier with Anne. But when I
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: first saw it and Jo said the same thing. When
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: we first heard a guy living on a billboard, we
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: thought a homeless until I'm sorry, but that's just that's
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: how we think in la Ah. It's it's it's the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: homeless situation. They're moving up, moving on up to the billboards.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: But it's a guy. So let me let me if
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen this, it's pretty cool. It's a billboard
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: that they built this. You know, what are they what
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: do they call that?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: A living room? No, no, Amy, that's diorama.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Those are both great descriptors, but not what I was
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: looking for. That that type of one of a bay window.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: It's like a bay window, right, It kind of jets
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: out three different sides there and it's made to look
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: like a living room. There's a guy in it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: He's in his bathroom right now because that's morning time.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's a guy actually in there, and he
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: does he have a TV or something, and he's got
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a whiteboard so he can communicate with people down on
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the street or driving by. Doesn't sound safe. And this
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: is all to promote this film. So what is the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: name of the film. It's like The Last House. The
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Last House. Is it a horror film?
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: It sounds like it could be. The family gets trapped
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: inside the house. Their supplies, food and stuff are dwindling,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: and there's some ominous force that's not allowing them to leave.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Oh so it's about COVID. Why don't they just say that?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Don't they just call it the pandemic?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I went through this for years. There was no
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: big deal. But he's got a bookshelf up there, looks
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: like a computer or something. Can you text with him?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Or is it just but it is attracting a lot
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: of attention. I want to, you know, I'll probab we
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: go out there today, take my son out there to
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: see the freak show. But it just reminds me of
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the good old days of gorilla marketing and doing something
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: odd in La you know, these weird things. We used
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: to do all kinds of crazy stuff on KFI to
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: get people's attention. And I remember, I don't know if
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: we ended up putting these billboards up, but it was
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: a design that was ore to traditional black, white and orange,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: with images of Obama, of Hillary Clinton, of George Bush,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: with just single descriptors. We would look for things that
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: people describe these people about and we'd put that word
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: up there. We'd put good ones and bad ones on
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: different billboards and see what the reaction of people. Or
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you'd put warmonger up underneath and you know, underneath their picture.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think we ever put those up, but we
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: did at one point just put words up with no description. Mexican.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: It was just a board that said Mexican on it
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: with KFI. And then I can't remember all of the Mexican.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: One stands out to me, just to see how people
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: responded to words with no context, and people flipped out
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: about it. What's that supposed to be? I don't know.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: What doesn't mean to you? You're the ones flipping out
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: about it. You got a problem with Mexicans. It was
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: crazy some of the things that we used to do
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: great KFI. It shared our attitude. People collect photos of
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: them good time. So seeing this out on the streets
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: of Sunset and Selma in Hollywood or in la is
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: kind of cool. And it's going to be there through
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the weekend, Amy, I just through tomorrow. That's it.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So today and tomorrow is your opportunity to go see.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Get out there and see some craziness in la Yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I love it all right, stick around a really important topic.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: This is one that I want you to participate in,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: meaning that if you are moved by this information, I'm
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: gonna want you to contact the politicians that be. I
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: think this is a horrible case of probably trying to
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: do good but really really missing the mark and hurting
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of good people, me included, as I am
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a maker. I will explain with the help of David
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Tobin when we return. It's The Bill Handle Show, Neil
• 28:25
