- 0:00Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I
- 0:04Speaker 1: AM six forty.
- 0:13Speaker 2: JFI AM six forty. Bill Handle here and he is
- 0:17Speaker 2: a Taco. Tuesday, May nineteenth, coming up our Tech Tuesday,
- 0:21Speaker 2: Micah Dubuski at eight thirty. So we got a lot
- 0:25Speaker 2: going on today and just received news yesterday late afternoon
- 0:29Speaker 2: that Mark Furman, the lap detective known for the OJ
- 0:33Speaker 2: Simpson trial, has died.
- 0:35Speaker 3: He was seventy four. He died of cancer.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Unfortunately, and for those of you that know anything about
- 0:41Speaker 2: the OJ trial, you certainly know the name Mark Furman
- 0:46Speaker 2: because he was well. He was one of the reasons
- 0:50Speaker 2: and maybe the reason that OJ was acquitted, because his
- 0:56Speaker 2: credibility was attacked and incident in ccendiary racist language. Here's
- 1:01Speaker 2: the problem. He was accused of using the N word
- 1:05Speaker 2: and he denied it, and they had proof, they had
- 1:09Speaker 2: audio recordings of him doing it.
- 1:11Speaker 3: That's completely destroyed his credibility.
- 1:14Speaker 2: He was accused of planting evidence blood on a sock
- 1:20Speaker 2: that was introduced into evidence, and Johnny Cochran, the attorney.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Just ripped him. If it was just it was crazy
- 1:28Speaker 3: the trial.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Interestingly, if you look at the polls, I think to
- 1:33Speaker 2: this day African Americans overwhelming believe that the trial was rigged,
- 1:40Speaker 2: that evidence was planted, and the acquittal was legitimate. And
- 1:45Speaker 2: then you have an overwhelming number of Whites who believe
- 1:48Speaker 2: that there was no planting. I mean, there were some problems,
- 1:52Speaker 2: but there was no planting. And as I said earlier,
- 1:56Speaker 2: I knew Mark Furman. He has been a guest on
- 1:59Speaker 2: the show all through the OJ trial or right afterwards
- 2:02Speaker 2: a bunch of times. And I had met him two
- 2:06Speaker 2: years before the OJ trial when Marjorie was carjacked and
- 2:11Speaker 2: he was the detective assigned to the carjacking the case
- 2:17Speaker 2: and a couple of things happened. He was accused of
- 2:20Speaker 2: being a racist and using the N word, which he
- 2:22Speaker 2: did use it. There's no question he lied about it.
- 2:25Speaker 2: He got nailed for that for perjury. But his position
- 2:29Speaker 2: was that there is no cop who's ever worked South
- 2:31Speaker 2: Central that it at that time certainly did not use
- 2:34Speaker 2: the N word, including African American cops. That was a
- 2:39Speaker 2: word that was bandied about about the criminal element that
- 2:44Speaker 2: was black and South Central, which is you can imagine
- 2:47Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people. So in any case, so
- 2:51Speaker 2: they knew the guy who did it. I mean he
- 2:54Speaker 2: was stupid enough to Marjorie had a cell phone in
- 2:57Speaker 2: the car, called his mother. Just they knew exactly who
- 3:02Speaker 2: he was, and so Marjorie asked him, well, now that
- 3:06Speaker 2: you know who he was, are you going to go
- 3:07Speaker 2: after this guy?
- 3:08Speaker 3: Right?
- 3:08Speaker 2: You're gonna track him down? He goes, Now, now we're
- 3:11Speaker 2: not gonna track him down. These guys are stupid. He'll
- 3:15Speaker 2: show up, you know, he'll blow through a stoplight or
- 3:18Speaker 2: something because you guys don't follow the rules. And certainly,
- 3:21Speaker 2: guess what. Nine months later, he blows through a stop sign.
- 3:24Speaker 2: There's a worn out for his arrest, and he's brought
- 3:27Speaker 2: down to Los Angeles. Now there was overwhelming evidence that
- 3:31Speaker 2: this guy did it. And then there was a lineup
- 3:37Speaker 2: at at prison. You know how they line up, you know,
- 3:40Speaker 2: the various people including the suspect, and so there were
- 3:46Speaker 2: and it was basically his height, African American, his heights,
- 3:49Speaker 2: sort of his build could somewhat look like him, but
- 3:53Speaker 2: not really you could differentiate between them. And so Marjorie
- 3:57Speaker 2: was asked to pick out who it was, and it
- 4:00Speaker 2: was either going to be number three or four. She
- 4:04Speaker 2: really couldn't figure out. Now she's sitting alone with Mark Furman,
- 4:08Speaker 2: who of course knew exactly who the suspect was. And
- 4:13Speaker 2: she said, and I was right behind, and there was
- 4:15Speaker 2: no one else. It was just the three of us, Furman,
- 4:19Speaker 2: Marjorie and me behind and she whispers to Furman, it's
- 4:24Speaker 2: either three or four, which one you know? Just give
- 4:27Speaker 2: me a little tap on the elbow and tell me
- 4:29Speaker 2: who it is. And he said, we don't do that.
- 4:33Speaker 2: He goes, You're going to have to say it on
- 4:36Speaker 2: your own. He would not go after or tell her
- 4:41Speaker 2: which of the black suspects were in fact, was in
- 4:44Speaker 2: fact the one they had overwhelming evidence for. She chose
- 4:48Speaker 2: the wrong one, by the way, just to let you know,
- 4:51Speaker 2: she literally chose the wrong one. But they had so
- 4:55Speaker 2: much evidence that that was merely I think it was
- 5:00Speaker 2: just a following protocol that they did.
- 5:03Speaker 3: But the point is he did not.
- 5:04Speaker 2: He would not agree to help in any way in
- 5:08Speaker 2: going after an African American's huspect that which he didn't
- 5:13Speaker 2: follow the rules. Just quick point, that's all. I wanted
- 5:17Speaker 2: to bring that up. And he doesn't often get the
- 5:18Speaker 2: credit for that. And after the fact, we of course
- 5:22Speaker 2: took him on. We used to do parody songs in
- 5:25Speaker 2: those days and they were. We can't even begin to
- 5:28Speaker 2: play them now because they were so the argument was
- 5:32Speaker 2: so racist, so perverted, so depraved. That's when the show
- 5:36Speaker 2: was its best. By the way, I just want to
- 5:38Speaker 2: let you know, for those of you that listen in
- 5:39Speaker 2: those days, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. That
- 5:42Speaker 2: the show today it wouldn't survive ten minutes if we
- 5:47Speaker 2: did what we did then. But anyway, we used to
- 5:50Speaker 2: do parody songs, I mean a lot of them, and
- 5:53Speaker 2: he loved them. He thought it was the funniest damn
- 5:56Speaker 2: thing he'd ever heard. And he would go into bars
- 5:59Speaker 2: were hung out or other normal bars that he would
- 6:02Speaker 2: go to, regular non cop bars, and he would bring
- 6:06Speaker 2: a cassette. In those days, he had cassette players that
- 6:08Speaker 2: would go through the sound system in the bar. He
- 6:10Speaker 2: would bring a cassette of the songs that we did
- 6:14Speaker 2: and the bar would play them through the sound system,
- 6:17Speaker 2: and he said they were so funny and people love
- 6:19Speaker 2: them so much. He could not buy a drink. They
- 6:23Speaker 2: would not let him. The people in the bar would
- 6:25Speaker 2: not let him buy a drink. So in any case,
- 6:29Speaker 2: by the way, there was no proof that he planted
- 6:32Speaker 2: the evidence at all. It was all circumstantial. It was
- 6:35Speaker 2: all him being caught in the lie of using the
- 6:40Speaker 2: N word being pejorative, and they did catch him, and
- 6:43Speaker 2: then Johnny Cochran went after him, and then he took
- 6:46Speaker 2: the Fifth Amendment when he now he was brought up
- 6:49Speaker 2: for perjury and he kept on taking the Fifth during
- 6:52Speaker 2: the trial afterwards. Did you use the word fifth Amendment?
- 6:59Speaker 2: Did you plant the evidence? Fifth Amendment? Are you a racist?
- 7:05Speaker 2: Fifth Amendment? Well, you know what, it's good an a eliment.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It did, and it really, I think in many ways
- 7:12Speaker 2: cost the trial for him. And then he went up
- 7:15Speaker 2: to Sandpoint, Idaho. He retired, went up to Sandpoint, Idaho
- 7:19Speaker 2: and became a talk show host. Actually, Sandpoint, Idaho is
- 7:23Speaker 2: where every cop goes to die. It's a very conservative,
- 7:29Speaker 2: white area where a lot of former police officers go.
- 7:33Speaker 3: And he became a talk show host up there. He
- 7:35Speaker 3: was an author.
- 7:36Speaker 2: He wrote a book about the OJ case and just
- 7:40Speaker 2: it's too bad. He died way too young, seventy four
- 7:43Speaker 2: years old. Interesting guy and I liked him, I did, okay. Now,
- 7:48Speaker 2: speaking of the president, today was supposed to be a
- 7:52Speaker 2: massive US strike on Iran with Israel, and the last
- 7:59Speaker 2: moment the p and said, now we're not going to
- 8:01Speaker 2: do it because we're in serious negotiations with Iran. They're
- 8:07Speaker 2: desperate to I have a deal. This is what has
- 8:10Speaker 2: been told over the last several weeks. We're in the
- 8:13Speaker 2: eleventh week of this thing, by the way, it's supposed
- 8:15Speaker 2: to a last two to four weeks. And the point
- 8:20Speaker 2: is why aren't we going in? Well, this time we're
- 8:22Speaker 2: not going in because number one, we're in significant talks
- 8:25Speaker 2: of which the Iranians are saying, you're dreaming. And two
- 8:29Speaker 2: three Mid East States countries or leaders said please hold
- 8:34Speaker 2: off two or three days while we try to get
- 8:36Speaker 2: something going with the peace talks, with Pakistan being the mediator.
- 8:41Speaker 3: So here's the problem. I don't know how many people.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Actually believe him anymore because he keeps on putting deadlines
- 8:49Speaker 2: after deadlines and then crossing that line in the sand
- 8:52Speaker 2: over and over again, to the point where are now
- 8:56Speaker 2: there is no timeline now, it's just it's eminent and
- 9:00Speaker 2: it's going to happen any day. And so what's going
- 9:03Speaker 2: to happen to three days from now when the Iranians
- 9:05Speaker 2: don't move on it? The same things that happen because
- 9:09Speaker 2: the Trump, the president can't win on this one. He
- 9:11Speaker 2: cannot win. He stuck between a rock and a hard
- 9:14Speaker 2: place big time because if he doesn't go in, and
- 9:19Speaker 2: so he'll have no credibility if he does go in
- 9:22Speaker 2: the only way it's going to happen to get rid
- 9:23Speaker 2: of that enriched uranium. From what I understand and we're
- 9:27Speaker 2: being reported, is we have to send in troops. And
- 9:30Speaker 2: if you think the United States, the electorate is against
- 9:33Speaker 2: now two out of three Americans think that it's a
- 9:36Speaker 2: mist it was a mistake to go into Iran. Can
- 9:39Speaker 2: you imagine what's going to happen if American lives are
- 9:42Speaker 2: lost in a military incursion. So the President keeps on
- 9:46Speaker 2: telling us things like, well, we won the war in
- 9:49Speaker 2: the first hour. Pete Hegsitt says, we control the Strait
- 9:53Speaker 2: of Hormuz. Okay, the Iranians are desperate to cut a deal.
- 10:00Speaker 3: They're not. They're sitting back. They have so far won
- 10:05Speaker 3: this battle.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Now their navy has been decimated, according to what the
- 10:10Speaker 2: President says. Absolutely, their infrastructure in many ways have been decimated. Absolutely,
- 10:17Speaker 2: their ability to launch missiles, no figure, they may have
- 10:22Speaker 2: two thirds of the missiles left, their ballistic missiles, their
- 10:25Speaker 2: rocket launchers plenty left, so that's not true.
- 10:31Speaker 3: And they're not moving.
- 10:32Speaker 2: So have you noticed that this war has gone from
- 10:37Speaker 2: certainly getting rid of nuclear, the uranium, the rich geranium.
- 10:43Speaker 2: That's granted, that's been from the beginning, but also it
- 10:46Speaker 2: was regime change. The president says, we have we have
- 10:51Speaker 2: regime change. Taking out the leaders gives us a regime,
- 10:54Speaker 2: a regime change. Really no, they took out the leaders
- 11:00Speaker 2: and they took out the second tier. And the President's
- 11:02Speaker 2: absolutely right, and now that means there's regime change. We've
- 11:06Speaker 2: changed the regime. No, it's like playing whack your ball
- 11:11Speaker 2: and it's you know, one goes down, the other one
- 11:14Speaker 2: pops up. So that makes no sense. And wasn't prepared
- 11:18Speaker 2: for the straight of hor moves. That's sort of no
- 11:21Speaker 2: longer on the table. And here's what the Iranians have said,
- 11:25Speaker 2: we're not giving any of that up. Now, Will they
- 11:28Speaker 2: give up the straight of Horn moves? Yeah, maybe you'll
- 11:31Speaker 2: go back to being an international waterway because Ron will
- 11:34Speaker 2: have many, many, many enemies more so than it has now.
- 11:38Speaker 3: You've got countries that want nothing to do with this.
- 11:40Speaker 2: And if the oil continues to be cut off, I
- 11:43Speaker 2: don't know if they're gonna have any choice. But that's
- 11:46Speaker 2: a bargaining ship that Iran hut has the straight of
- 11:50Speaker 2: horror moose is closed. Pete Hegseth. The United States controls
- 11:55Speaker 2: the straight. Why aren't ships going through? Explain that to
- 11:58Speaker 2: me if the US control And so we have a
- 12:02Speaker 2: situation where all the president has is at this point
- 12:07Speaker 2: the ability to go ahead and bomb attack Iran. Sanctions
- 12:11Speaker 2: are already in place, heavy sanctions the military. I think
- 12:16Speaker 2: they've done as much as they could. Maybe I'm wrong,
- 12:20Speaker 2: short of going in, and so what does he do?
- 12:23Speaker 3: Well?
- 12:24Speaker 2: Now the whole process, everything now is getting rid of
- 12:27Speaker 2: the nuclear weapons, the potential nuclear weapon program, regime change
- 12:32Speaker 2: is off the table completely, the manufacturing of ballistic missiles
- 12:36Speaker 2: and weaponry sort of off the table completely. And so
- 12:40Speaker 2: one of the sticking points is Iran saying, you're not
- 12:43Speaker 2: going to stop us from going ahead and enriching uranium.
- 12:46Speaker 3: That's done of your business. We can do it.
- 12:48Speaker 2: We do it for peaceful purposes, which is a complete croc.
- 12:51Speaker 2: By the way, the way they're enriching uranium is only
- 12:55Speaker 2: for a nuclear weapon period. Their nuclear their statement that
- 13:01Speaker 2: it's only for peacel purposes. You need two to three
- 13:05Speaker 2: percent enriched uranium in order to be used as a nuclear.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Reactor for power.
- 13:10Speaker 2: They're at sixty to seventy percent and could fairly easily
- 13:14Speaker 2: make it ninety percent. That means bomb making material, that's
- 13:19Speaker 2: nuclear weapons. So they're lying through their teeth. Mean, you
- 13:23Speaker 2: can't trust them at all, and we'll see what happens. Now,
- 13:27Speaker 2: what happens. After three days passes, and Iran still says No.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Iran is suffering mightily. There's no question that Iran is
- 13:36Speaker 2: in deep, deep trouble, certainly financially and certainly its ability
- 13:41Speaker 2: to take care of its own people. The Iranian regime
- 13:44Speaker 2: doesn't care. They will let Iranians starve, and Iranians and
- 13:51Speaker 2: protesting will be shot by the tens of thousands, like
- 13:55Speaker 2: they have been. No internet at all in or out
- 13:58Speaker 2: of Iran. So it's in addition to the total oppression.
- 14:03Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. So no attack today, Okay,
- 14:07Speaker 2: no attack today, the president says, two three days delay
- 14:13Speaker 2: because our allies in the Mid East have asked for that. Okay,
- 14:18Speaker 2: let's oh, and they are negotiating, They really want to
- 14:21Speaker 2: talk to us.
- 14:22Speaker 3: Okay.
- 14:22Speaker 2: They haven't changed at all in the last eleven weeks
- 14:27Speaker 2: so and and the US has changed dramatically what it
- 14:31Speaker 2: wants and it's negotiating ploy what it hopes to get.
- 14:35Speaker 3: All right, we're done with that story that I took a.
- 14:37Speaker 2: Look at it because it's death and burying, so you
- 14:39Speaker 2: know burial, so you know, I'm going to jump on this.
- 14:42Speaker 2: And that is something is gaining more. We talked about
- 14:45Speaker 2: this for more and more traction, and that is or
- 14:51Speaker 2: are green burials?
- 14:54Speaker 3: Now?
- 14:54Speaker 2: Originally when I heard about this, I thought there was
- 14:56Speaker 2: people being buried next to a frog pond, but that's
- 14:59Speaker 2: not true. Green burials are these natural throw you in
- 15:04Speaker 2: the ground, have you decomposing burials and it's they're really weird.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Actually not in many cases. No, there's no coffin. They
- 15:15Speaker 2: just throw either completely naked in the ground or with
- 15:17Speaker 2: a shroud. And it's by the way, Muslim burials are
- 15:22Speaker 2: that way and Orthodox Jewish burials are that way. Caskets
- 15:26Speaker 2: are not part of it, and it's they just throw
- 15:30Speaker 2: you in the ground to rot. Now, the religious part
- 15:34Speaker 2: is biblical. You know, dust to dust, ashes to ashes,
- 15:37Speaker 2: and religiously you want to get into the ground and
- 15:40Speaker 2: decompose and become part of the earth as quickly as possible.
- 15:43Speaker 2: That's religious. But then you have the crazy people out there.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Strangely enough, Yeah, you go and naked, you decompose. It's
- 15:50Speaker 2: very very close. And so these are cemeteries.
- 15:54Speaker 3: But you don't buy plots.
- 15:56Speaker 2: What you do this for people that used to there
- 15:59Speaker 2: are of religion is all hold hands. You're in a bathrobe,
- 16:02Speaker 2: but you dance around a tree, singing Kumbaya or whatever
- 16:05Speaker 2: crazy ass religion you have. And those guys are big
- 16:09Speaker 2: into green burials where you literally just a strip of land.
- 16:13Speaker 2: You choose a place next to that tree. I think
- 16:15Speaker 2: I want to be buried there. They throw you in
- 16:17Speaker 2: the ground, no embalming, which is not allowed by the
- 16:21Speaker 2: way in Islam or in the Jewish religion. And there's
- 16:26Speaker 2: nothing artificial about it. And when you think about it,
- 16:28Speaker 2: it makes sense because you know, the our burial system,
- 16:33Speaker 2: the way we die in America first of all, is industrialized.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Second of all, we want nothing to be part of
- 16:38Speaker 2: it's not part of life. Where death is part of life.
- 16:42Speaker 2: I mean, have you been to an Irish wake? I
- 16:45Speaker 2: mean those are terrific, and you know they PLoP some
- 16:48Speaker 2: guy in a coffin on a couple of sawhorses, open casket,
- 16:53Speaker 2: people dance around and they get drunk and start trying
- 16:58Speaker 2: to pull the guy out of the casket and dance
- 17:00Speaker 2: with him.
- 17:00Speaker 3: It is fantastic.
- 17:02Speaker 2: And the same thing happens, you know that comfort with
- 17:06Speaker 2: death happens with green burials.
- 17:08Speaker 3: So here's what happens.
- 17:10Speaker 2: They just grab someone who has died hopefully well depend
- 17:13Speaker 2: on who you are, and wrap you up in a shroud,
- 17:17Speaker 2: throw you in the ground and you are done. And
- 17:19Speaker 2: as I said, you don't buy a plot out there.
- 17:22Speaker 2: These are not designated plots, no caskets, no tombstones. There's
- 17:27Speaker 2: just a flower growing there, you know, some kind of
- 17:30Speaker 2: a bush. If I were to do that'd be a
- 17:32Speaker 2: venus fly trap for me. And then they just figure
- 17:36Speaker 2: you're going to come close to the earth. Now, thinking
- 17:38Speaker 2: about this, why it makes so much sense. You're not
- 17:40Speaker 2: buying a coffin. Those are hideously expensive. You're not buying
- 17:43Speaker 2: a plot. Have you ever gone and actually try to
- 17:45Speaker 2: buy a plot in a cemetery tens of thousands of dollars?
- 17:49Speaker 3: Then in balming?
- 17:50Speaker 2: Then then then then can you imagine just you know,
- 17:54Speaker 2: picking up, putting you in a bed sheet, throwing you
- 17:57Speaker 2: in the ground and life is over. I mean, that's
- 17:59Speaker 2: the way to do it, but it is, it has huge,
- 18:04Speaker 2: significant spiritual significance to me. It's just a cheap way
- 18:08Speaker 2: of doing it, which makes a great deal of sentence. Now,
- 18:12Speaker 2: at first, you think those are only the crazy people
- 18:14Speaker 2: that are doing that, the Kumbaya druids or whatever the
- 18:17Speaker 2: hell you are as you dance and sing incantations and
- 18:21Speaker 2: you know, walk around with sparklers at nightA or whatever
- 18:24Speaker 2: you guys do. And now it's becoming more and more
- 18:28Speaker 2: and more popular. And you know, I think about this now,
- 18:31Speaker 2: I'm going to have a traditional burial. I already have
- 18:34Speaker 2: the plot I bought years ago because one of the
- 18:37Speaker 2: things that I believe is that's that's one of the
- 18:40Speaker 2: greatest kids gifts. You can give your kid all seriousness
- 18:43Speaker 2: so they don't have to worry about anything that you
- 18:45Speaker 2: just wait to make one phone call to the mortuary
- 18:49Speaker 2: and say, you know, please pick up this lump that
- 18:51Speaker 2: used to be my father over here and take them
- 18:53Speaker 2: to the mortuary and they do it all.
- 18:55Speaker 1: Wait, you already bought your plot? Are you being buried?
- 18:59Speaker 1: Our years a very with Marjorie? Yeah, years ago, years ago,
- 19:03Speaker 1: And I have to rethink that. By the way, clearly
- 19:05Speaker 1: I have to rethink that, as you can imagine. Yeah,
- 19:08Speaker 1: the plot was bought thirty years ago. Maybe, yeah, because
- 19:13Speaker 1: I believe in doing it all, pre paying for everything.
- 19:16Speaker 3: So I agreed.
- 19:17Speaker 2: The kids don't have to deal with it because it's
- 19:20Speaker 2: not easy, although mine would be pretty happy so they
- 19:22Speaker 2: wouldn't have a real problem with it. But people go
- 19:25Speaker 2: through incredible emotional strain when parents and loved one die die. Okay,
- 19:31Speaker 2: oh man, I love this one. This has to do
- 19:35Speaker 2: with the commencement speakers and speeches that are happening all
- 19:38Speaker 2: over the place at colleges. And it used to be
- 19:43Speaker 2: that commencement speakers would all basically say the same thing,
- 19:46Speaker 2: and that is, you know, find your passion, you know,
- 19:49Speaker 2: go after that, you know, just your normal crap. You know,
- 19:52Speaker 2: you'll do fine, just follow your passion and yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 19:55Speaker 2: yeah yeah. Well now it's all about AI, all right,
- 19:59Speaker 2: And let me tell you how sick people are hearing
- 20:01Speaker 2: of AI. These commencement speakers who are talking about AI
- 20:06Speaker 2: at their speeches are getting booed. People do not want
- 20:12Speaker 2: to hear about AI anymore. Real estate executive Gloria Caulfield
- 20:17Speaker 2: at the University of Central Florida compared AI to the
- 20:20Speaker 2: Industrial Revolution. Boo Country Music executive Scott Burshetta at Tennessee
- 20:28Speaker 2: State University. AI is a tool that we mustn't be
- 20:31Speaker 2: afraid of. Boo ups Ceo Carol Tomey opportunities around AI
- 20:39Speaker 2: at the University of Wyoming Boo.
- 20:44Speaker 3: College students don't want to hear it, all right, They've
- 20:46Speaker 3: just done with that.
- 20:47Speaker 2: So now there are two issues that college students don't
- 20:50Speaker 2: want to hear about. One follow your passion crapola, and
- 20:53Speaker 2: AI is going to change our life completely.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Now.
- 20:58Speaker 2: I have always wondered, and get to tell you, I've
- 21:00Speaker 2: been around for a long time doing radio, and I'm
- 21:04Speaker 2: fairly well known as southern California. So you think i'd
- 21:07Speaker 2: be asked to do a commencement speech or two. I
- 21:10Speaker 2: have done one, and that was to a high school graduation.
- 21:14Speaker 2: And I don't even remember what the high school specialized in.
- 21:17Speaker 2: It could have been a magnet school. I don't remember.
- 21:19Speaker 3: Kids just didn't pay attention to me at all.
- 21:21Speaker 2: I mean, they were talking to each other, they were
- 21:24Speaker 2: having a rip roaring good time, and of course I
- 21:27Speaker 2: talked about follow your passion.
- 21:29Speaker 3: All right, Fine, crap.
- 21:31Speaker 2: And then the only other one that I was actually
- 21:33Speaker 2: asked to, and this is hilarious yet absolutely true.
- 21:39Speaker 3: I was asked to do.
- 21:40Speaker 2: A commencement sheet speech in the Inland Empire. It was
- 21:45Speaker 2: a technical school, you know, the kind that you see
- 21:49Speaker 2: on TV being advertised. It was to a class of
- 21:54Speaker 2: six graduating students, and they asked me if I could
- 21:59Speaker 2: do it in farce because we have the six students
- 22:04Speaker 2: that are Persian, and I said, no, we got a
- 22:07Speaker 2: couple of problems with that.
- 22:09Speaker 3: Number one, I am not driving that distance. Number two.
- 22:13Speaker 2: The school is questionable. They were, since they've since been
- 22:15Speaker 2: put out of business. The government filed a lawsuit against
- 22:19Speaker 2: them and shut them down. And then the issue of
- 22:21Speaker 2: FARSI that wasn't going to happen. But you know what
- 22:27Speaker 2: would I do today? I would probably talk about AI.
- 22:30Speaker 1: No, you know what I would do instead, I'm bolloying
- 22:36Speaker 1: you like you were talking about as I was.
- 22:38Speaker 2: I was president of my alumni class at law school.
- 22:43Speaker 2: What are your alumni class or Eluminum Alumni Club? And
- 22:48Speaker 2: it was and I would give speeches to college students
- 22:52Speaker 2: and they asked me to leave.
- 22:53Speaker 3: By the way, I'm talking about the alumni people.
- 22:55Speaker 2: They asked me to leave because people would ask two
- 22:59Speaker 2: things I would answer when doing those speeches in front
- 23:03Speaker 2: of classes. Is a number one, how do you pass
- 23:05Speaker 2: the bar? Is it that difficult? I said, yes, it
- 23:08Speaker 2: is that difficult. I did it with cocaine, So I'm
- 23:10Speaker 2: going to suggest you do the same thing because I'll
- 23:12Speaker 2: get you past the bar quickly.
- 23:14Speaker 3: And the other.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Thing is when I asked about being a lawyer, I
- 23:18Speaker 2: said I wouldn't if I were you. You're going to
- 23:22Speaker 2: work very hard. You're probably gonna make lesser minimum wage.
- 23:25Speaker 2: You're gonna work eighteen hours a day, and you will
- 23:28Speaker 2: be completely unfulfilled.
- 23:30Speaker 3: Any other questions, Hey, no, they don't want to.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Okay, follow your passion, okay, and make sure your passion.
- 23:41Speaker 3: Involves a I okay, thank you very much. Okay.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Commencement speeches. Actually, Steve Jobs gave a great one, one
- 23:54Speaker 2: of the better known commencement speeches out there, if you
- 23:56Speaker 2: ever a chance to read it, and I think it
- 23:59Speaker 2: was at Stanford, if I'm not mistaken. Man, it was
- 24:01Speaker 2: so good. All right, coming up, Oh, this is something
- 24:04Speaker 2: that Ann found and she goes, Bill, you have to.
- 24:06Speaker 3: Do this, you have to do this, and the title
- 24:09Speaker 3: of this article.
- 24:10Speaker 2: She sent me the men who want women to be quiet,
- 24:14Speaker 2: and I figured they didn't add what I would have added,
- 24:19Speaker 2: and they're absolutely right. Okay, that's coming up. KFI AM
