  Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Bill Handled Here. Good morning.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Oh what a Friday it is where we have the
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: IPO of the SpaceX company. They're raising seventy seven billion dollars,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: which you and I hopefully can buy some stock. It's
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: at one hundred and thirty five dollars. We'll see what
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: happens throughout the day. And then we have the World Cup,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: first World Cup game in the United States playing today
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: at SOFI, the US versus Paraguay. And ask Handle anything
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: most important of all at eight thirty as we finish
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: our Friday show.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Now, oh wow, what a topic AI.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: We haven't talked about that in a while, like in
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the last five minutes, and we're not going to be
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: talking about that for a while, like in the next
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: five minutes. And one of the aspects of AI is
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: in the classroom. And that's just one segment and a
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: small one, and so what some teachers are doing because
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: there's so much cheating. There's one class at UCLA and
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: students take finals on camera with mirrors behind them and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: their arms crossed, their hands behind their heads when they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: speaking under the AI rules, and teachers and students are
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: clashing because there's all kinds of inconsistence policies and AI
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: use accusations, and it's a growing crisis, not just papers.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: And we've talked about this before, because if you use
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: AI to write papers and so you get a decent grade,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: let's say you go pat you blow past the AI
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: some kind of security where everybody stays ahead of everybody else.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And the problem is there's no critical thinking that goes on.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: You're not thinking, you're not putting your.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Mind through the exercise of analyzing and then putting on
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: paper Cochin thoughts, because AI just takes it all over
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: for you. And so the problem is not only writing
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the papers, but cheat even cheating during tests where up
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: goes your computer or your phone and you're surrepetitiously doing this,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: especially open book exams. I don't know if they have
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: any but the security. Now, well, let me tell you
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: what happens during the bar exam. All right, When I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: took the bar it was, first of all, you either
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: took it with a typewriter. The computers weren't around then.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Because I took it in nineteen seventy nine, so computers
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: weren't around. But you can't bring in a computer. You
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: either handwrite the answers, which I did, which is stupid,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: or you type the answers. And it was hilarious. At
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: one point one of them, the electricity went out and
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: there was plenty of lights, so you could still write.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But the people that typed couldn't do it. They would
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: bring in their own typewriters couldn't do it. So the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: next year people were bringing in their typewriters with the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: car batteries on these on the wheeled dollies, just to
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: make sure. And so it was so strict in terms
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: of cheating that when I went into the bathroom, for example,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and there were plenty of people that had stomach issues
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: and were throwing up because the bar is a bear,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: the proctors would.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Follow you into the bathroom.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Literally, and the only thing they wouldn't and couldn't do,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: is check underneath the stalls. Now I've shared the story
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: before because I took the bar stoned out of my
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: gourd on cocaine. I was ripped on cocaine and the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: bar lasts virtually all day. So I mean, if you're
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: addicted to cocaine. For those of you that know you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: needed every few hours, I needed it every hour. So
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I would go into the bathroom and I would go
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: into one of the stalls. There was the procter following
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: me in and I would sit on the toilet seat,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: which of course the door closed. I would pull my
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: pants down so if he did look, there is there's
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: my pants around my ankles. And what I would do
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: is take my little vial of cocaine and snort it
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: while I was flushing the toilet to make sure that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the sound effect of the toilet overcame my cocaine.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Use. I became addicted to cocaine because at that time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I was working. I had a business at the time,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: and that took most of the day. I took a
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: bar review course and I had to also read a
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: tremendous amount and practice writing the tests that so I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: had no time. So I became addicted to cocaine. So
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: it was the cheating. The security was insane. And now
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: the whole issue of AI and how it's being used
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: across the board is at a real issue. And here's
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the problem. You write a paper and plagiarism, you get
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: in trouble. You get thrown out of a class for
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: plasiarism using someone else's quote unless you attribute it and
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: put as a footnote. Well, here's the rule of pleasiarism.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: All you have to do is sort of rewrite a
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: given paragraph or give an idea, maybe add one or
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: two more sources, and you're clean. You can't be accused
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: of plagiarism. And that's what AI helps you do enormously.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: And here is the problem too, because AI hallucinates and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: comes up with things that don't exist. We've aied our
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: backgrounds here on the show a few times. You know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: let's run my background through AI. Let's run any one
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: of us through AI. You'll find out that there are
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: things that come up that just never happened, never because
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: of the housination. And if you end up doing that,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: or someone ends up doing that, and the house nation
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: comes in where sources and quotes and cases are attributed
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: to cases sources that don't exist, which AI does, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: there are programs that figure that out, you're in a
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: world of hurt. Point is, we don't even know where
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: AI is going. We really don't. Is it being used
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: for cheating?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Is it being used for writing papers one hundred percent.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Is it being used for research one thousand percent? Say I, okay,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I want to end this half hour before we go
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to ask Candle anything at the bottom of the hour.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Always fund the last segment, and that is a story
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I want to share with you when I was a
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: kid and what's going on.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing that's happening.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: What goes around comes around, except there is a big
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: difference that I know I'm teasing, but I will put
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the dots together. I will connect the dots and I'll
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: explain when we come back. Okay, five AM six forty
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: handle here Friday morning is June twelfth. And incidentally, if
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you are a baseball fan today at AM five seventy
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: LA Sports, you can hear the Dodgers game against the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Pirates and they're in Pittsburgh with the first pitch at
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: three forty you can listen on AM five seventy LA
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Sports and streaming on the Iheartle Radio app live from
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the galpin Ford Broadcast Booth. Now the gaalpin Ford Broadcast
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Booth is here in Los Angeles, but when it's in Pittsburgh,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: they go ahead and move the booth over there and
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: ironically enough, it's brought over there shipped on a Chevy truck.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Explain that to me, Am I in trouble for that promo.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, we're probably going to get a
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: phone call from someone. Yeah, no doubt. Three this afternoon,
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Pirates play in Pittsburgh. The Pirates. Okay, Now I want
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: to share with you what I experienced as a pretty
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: young kid, a very young kid. And this was back
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: in the fifties. Is that sixties actually? And does that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: date me? So I lived in North Hollywood and there
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: was a Seer store a few blocks from my house,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: and in the parking lot of the Seer store there
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: was sinceers sold these bomb shelters because the nuclear war
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: was coming the Russians. The Russians are coming. The Russians
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: are coming, and they're going to unload and send the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: ballistic missiles with the nuclear tipped rockets, and they're going
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: to blow us to help to pieces. And so they
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: actually sold bomb shelters. And how that worked is you'd
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: have the tractors come in like they put in a
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: swimming pool, and they dig out a big hole and
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: then put in you know, either a prefab one or
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: they build it out of gunite and concrete, et cetera.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And that disappeared.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: As a concept of nuclear war sort of disappeared with
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: mad mutually mutually assured destruction.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: So guess what's back.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Well, bomb shelters, and not quite bomb shelters, but close
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: these bunkers that are being built.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: And why are they being built?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Well, because you've got to prepare yourself for an uncertain future.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's atomic weapons, probably not. Maybe it's bio weapons. Okay,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: maybe it's dirty bombs. Dirty bombs have a radioactive either
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: coating on them or radioactive portion inside. Conventional explosions that
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: blow up the bomb in the air and it's radioactivity
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: is flying all over the place. That's a dirty bombs.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: And there are manufacturers that have come up big time.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Now it's all back. What comes around goes around. So
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: there you are people who are well survivalists folks. They
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: go ahead and buy a year's or two years worth
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: of food supplies. And I kind of remember that so much.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: How do you get fresh air in well? I remember
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: there was a hand crank sort of pump, filtered pump
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: that it stuck out from the outside. There was a
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: chimney kind of thing that stuck out and you would
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: literally hand crank it to get in fresh air. Technology
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: wasn't absolutely terrific, but there were bunk beds in there,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: and there was plenty of food, and you would lock
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: it up, and of course people would be pounding on
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: the door when the horrible times were coming, and you
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: would keep the door locked because all your neighbors wanted
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: to go there. And they're happening more and more. And incidentally,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: it's not just the normal people. Let me give you
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: an idea of who is putting these in. You've got
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: people like, I don't know, the Beckhams, the cloonies have
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: put in panic rooms, and that's sort of a bomb
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: shelter thing in houses that's become more and more prevalent.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: This is a panic room because when the bad guys
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: come in, what you do is you're running the panic room.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You close the door and no one can get in
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and they.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: So therefore they cut the bad guys cut the phone lines, right, Nope,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: those are sunk in. You've got dedicated lines that are
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: sunk in. There's plenty of food, there's plenty of air,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and it's sort of protection. But when we're talking about
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: full bunkers. Mark Zuckerberg has one. It's an underground shelter
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: about five thousand square feet at his compound in Hawaii.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: It has its own energy, it has its own food supply,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: lots of it, blast resistant doors open. Ai Sam Altman
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: has one reinforced concrete basement under his house. Peter Thiel,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: billionaire chairman of Pallanteer, an investor, He has file plans
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: for a bunker style compound in New Zealand where he
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: has a home. And so we're back to bomb shelters
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that are well, they're more than just bomb shelters. I
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: remember today it's active. When you go to school. We
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: don't have drop drills anymore. I did when I was
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: a kid because of fear of the Russians, and it
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: was the teacher would go you didn't know when that
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: was happening, drop and all the kids had to dive
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: under the desk, face away from the windows the other
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: way on your hands and knees, with your hands interlaced
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: over your neck. Because I guess that for some reason,
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: whoever put that together in authority decided that it was
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: a good idea to have your ass blown up on
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: one hundredth of bananos second before the rest of you.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So that was a great idea to protect you from
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the glass flying around. So you only have shards of
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: glass sticking out of your butt, and today those don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: exist anymore. Well, the shards coming out of your but yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: that exists. But we're talking about drop drills. Now it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: active shooter drills. And now we're not talking theory. We're
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: not talking about Oh, are the Russians going to bombas?
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Oh no, No, We're talking about reality. That's where we've come to.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: All right, coming up, we end Friday with always a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: fun couple of segments, Ask Handle anything, where I get
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: to answer the questions that you have recorded, and it's
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: always great, great fun.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: six forty.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Kay, fine, am six forty Handle. Here it's a Friday morning. Boy,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: what a Friday it is. The IPO of SpaceX opens
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: today one hundred and thirty five dollars per share and
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: it's gonna make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. Also,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: the World Cup Games open up in the United States
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: at US playing Paraguay, and the war is over in Iran,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the war that was over a couple of weeks ago,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: that was the war that was over two weeks before that,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: and the same war that was over a month before that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: So we'll see the only people that think the war
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: is not over seems to be the Iranians for some
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: crazy ass reason.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's do it, guys.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: It is time for ask handle anything where you record
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: the questions and I get to answer them fairly spontaneously
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: because I have not heard the questions before.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: All right, Sam, first question, what are.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: The steps, the requirements or the things one must go
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: to convert to Judaism.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, first of all, there's a minimum income that you
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: have to make and it's pretty high. That's for starters, bagels,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and the locks have to be a big, big part
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: of your life. Actually, it's no small deal converting. It
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: takes about a year convert. You have to go with
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: a rabbi and there's testing and it's no joke. With Christianity,
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: you sort of look at the sky and say I
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: won in the club. I accept Jesus. You're in with Judaism.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It's a big deal. It's not easy. They try to
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: talk you out of it, you know, Why would you
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: want to be a Joe. Everybody hates the Jews. My wife, Lindsay,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: originally wanted to She wanted to convert, and I said,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: absolutely not. I've already been married to a Jewish woman
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: once said I'm done with that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, Next question Trucker Mike. Here question for Handle. What
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: is your favorite part of history to learn and talk about?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: And have you ever done a segment on it?
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: I'm a world Basically, World War Two is probably my favorite,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and that's because of my father who fought in World
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: War Two. Modern history I'm a big fan of from
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: World War Two to today, and then I like the
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Civil War era and that's about it.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Those are my favorite parts of history.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: And yes, I have talked about them, Yes, over and
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: over again, ad nauseum. My dad has an astounding story
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: where a couple of companies, movie companies have already optioned
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: off his story, and I would explain that at some point,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: but I'm not going to do it now because it
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: takes too long. Okay, Sam. Another question.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: You know everybody's always talking about AI. Now it's basically
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: coming to everything. Do you foresee in the future where
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: AI can take over government, and I mean getting rid
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: of the politicians since they don't do anything. Can AI
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: finally figure out how to get things done and take
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: it a step further? Can they get rid of a
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Supreme Court to make decisions?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: You know, that's a very good question.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: But here is, since AI learns at an insanely rapid rate,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: AI will learn how to do nothing on the political
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: sphere quicker than anybody else or anything else. So yes,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: AI is going to come and will effectively do what
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: politicians do, and that's screw everything up and do nothing.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: No, you have to have human beings make those decisions.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, all right, So therefore, I mean, could you get
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: AI to look at history? Yeah, and look at precedents
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I'll say, in the Supreme Court. Yeah, but it's overturned constantly,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: and you know Roe v.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Wade.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: At what point does it overturn? Well, you need a
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: group of new judges. Okay, another one, mister.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Handel, would you like to come out and be part
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: of a delegation to talk peace with the Iranian delegation?
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Be it wherever they go? Would you go?
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: No, I have no desire, but I'll tell you one
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: thing I would lie about going I would say, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: am going tomorrow and I don't, or I'm going next
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: week and I'm not gonna go, or I am going
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: at six o'clock tonight and I'm not gonna go, or
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go and tell you I've gone. So
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: the answer is, boy, would I do a good job
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: in going to a delegation, wouldn't I? In terms of
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: negotiating some kind of a piece, I talked to my trainer.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I actually trained three times a week because I'm in
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: such a wuss, and he said, Bill, you'd be a
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: good trainer.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I go tell you what.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Let me shadow you and give motivation to the people
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: that are training with you. And here's what trainers do.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm gonna put the I'm gonna put the dots
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: together now. I'm going to connect the dots, and you
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: know what trainers do, or anybody in athletics do. Hey,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: you're doing a great job. Hey, come on, you can
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: do better than that. Come on, give it some more,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: give it some more effort. I would go, you woss,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: you panty waste, don't even try.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: That's also what I want to do.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Marginal spiritual advice fill me in for the Jesus Show
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: on Sunday, and can you imagine.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Jump get it out of the way.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: You're wasting our time before we go to a commercial.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Go splat yourself. Okay, let's do one more. Then I
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: have an announcement that I want to share with you,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: and then we'll finish up with the last of it
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: when we come back after the break.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: All right, Sam, Bill, who or what determines the price
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: of gasoline at any individual gas station? And also on
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: a second question, Bill, do you recall the gas wharves?
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: The answer is, let me start within number two. I
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: do recall the gas wars. Gas wars were really neat.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: You would have these signs that would you know, like
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: these signboards that would be on the corner and it
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: would say gas war, and there'll be gas stations across
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: the street, and then you see the price of gas,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: and one would be the other one, and then one
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: would beat the other one.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: And I can remember once. I think it wasn't a dream.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I think I can remember when gas was thirty three
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: cents a gallon. I think that was one day in
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the middle of gas Wars. We don't do that anymore.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: So the answer is yes, I do remember the gas wars.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: The other question that you ask is who determines the
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: price of oil well gas, Well, ultimately the station owner does,
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: but a lot of it has to do with several things.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: How much is he paying for gasoline, that's one thing,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: and that changes by the minute, and how much he
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: wants to charge because the station owner wants people to
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: come in no profit on gasoline. Where they make all
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: their profit is those convenience stores at gas stations. That's
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: where they make the money, and therefore they want people
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: to come in.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: So it's a question of.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It's a question of who is selling the gas for
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: less what they do to bring people in. So it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: a whole huge combination of stuff. And that's I don't
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: know if that answered the question, but it sounded pretty good,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: didn't it. I make a lot of stuff up, by
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: the way. I just want to point that out, particularly
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: on Saturday morning. Sam will tell you, because he does
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: the board on Saturday morning.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: And I'm doing the news on Saturday. I hear you
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: make stuff up too.

• 26:22
  Speaker 3: It will never admit that they're related to me. Okay,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: we have another question.
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: Hello, mister Bill Handle, Bad Stuff's sing it to your
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: show this morning, and I heard you discussing what you
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: eat on the daily, which is a ham and cheese.
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: That sounds very good, And I will be joining the gym.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: And I just was curious and wanted to know what
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: Bill Handle eats on the daily basis so I could
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: follow the Bill Handle diet. I'm sure okay, people would
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: like to follow it as well. Please advice, please let
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: me know.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, got it? Okay, fair enough.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: I switched from a ham cheese in the morning to
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: luxe and bag, which is my current. And what do
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: I eat on the daily? Everything, that's what I eat.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I do not put anything down. Then I never say
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: no to anything except organ meats. I can't stand like
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: liver and onions and kidneys and that sort of thing. Also,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: I'm not a big fan of oysters, never have been.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: If you want oysters, just get a good cold and
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: cough up some phlegm. It's just a lot cheaper that way. Okay,
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I think we have time for one more.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Billy.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Has anybody successfully ever sued you for something you said
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: on the radio, handled with the law or your surrogate center,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: just curious.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: I have been sued in the surrogacy center five times
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: with couples that were not particularly happy with my services.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I've never lost.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I have won every single time, frankly because two reasons.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Number one, always try to do a very good job.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Number two, whenever I should have gotten sued and there
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: was a screw up, because remember I did it for
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: thirty five years. If I screwed up, I'd call the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: people up and say what can I do to make
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: it right? Those people never sued me. The people that
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: did sue me were just bizarre, weird lawsuits that were
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: just crazy. Kids weren't born. The surrogate mother couldn't conceive,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, just weird stuff.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: And what was the other question? I've already forgotten.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I don't remember what that first question is because I
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: also have no memory at all.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're done. That's it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: BaseX opened at by the way, we just found.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: It good already. It opened at one.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: So if you bought it one thirty five, you've made
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: fifteen bucks if you sell it. Not that anybody's going
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: to sell it. That's pretty impressive. That really is. So
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: it's and it's probably going to go up from there.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Oh a lot of.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: People are going to make a lot of money today.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: There are stories of people who are early days getting
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: stock on a SpaceX and they become multi millionaires. I'm
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: talking about secretaries and janitors are becoming multimillionaires. All right, guys,
• 29:08
