You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from kf I am six forty. Hey, Siri, what do the Danish call Danish pastries? Wiener broad? Oh, it is called ween that broad. We have Wiener Broad's here. There's a called trans where I'd come from. All right, you're talking, You're done. It is Friday, and now Handle on the news, ladies and gentlemen. Here's Bill Handle, and good morning everyone out there in radio land. Bill Handle and the morning crew on a footy Friday, June twenty once.
And we are now officially into summer. And you can certainly ask people that are looking at the entire horizon on fire, uh saying, gee, a little hot out there, isn't it? So a quick hello to one and all as we start, uh cono, good morning, Yes, good morning, Yes, good morning. First hello Amy, Hello, Bill, And there's Neil, Good morning, Willie Wolf Yes, and now and and good morning, good morning. And I did not know that it was your
birthday. Now, usually I calendar it, so I calendar important events. People's you you're gonna say, but yours wasn't important. I know you're gonna Usually I can't. I didn't look at my calendar this morning that I calendar or anything. So I'm looking at it now. Yep, there it is nothing. Yeah see I knew it. I knew it. Okay, I only do that happy happy birthday, Birthday, Happy birthday. Have you. There is nothing more well, no more disgusting than happy birthday sung by waiters
and waitresses. I mean, will I go out of my mind and I tell if it's someone's birthday and you see, you know the balloons, and there's the big table at restaurants and they book twenty people there and you have the big presence at a table next to it. I tell the waiter person saying, at our table, female or male waitress, I say, I'm telling you something right now, you go over there and you sing happy birthday, I am stiffing you. There will be no tip. I am done.
It's not quite as bad as Mariachi's and Mexican restaurants. If I want to listen to Mariachi music, I'll go to a concert. You know. I don't want you over my table. Also, the people that sell roses, oh my god. So if I'm going out to dinner, for example, I don't care who I'm with. Little photographer lady comes up, Oh you want to take a picture and go no, we're married, but to other people and they have no idea we're here, and I digress with a
happy birthday at restaurants and I go crazy. A matter of fact, later on we are going to talk about restaurants at seven thirty with me. You know, you're just a very fun guy. I am a fun guy, warm, fuzzy, I am. Yeah, I just you know, not only I've often said this. The glass is always half empty in my life with a hole at the bottom, so water is pouring out the bottom. I think she meant fun guy anyway, right, No, but it's you know, it's like a mold or a sticky I mean, as sticky as
that is. I do have a problem going to restaurants with the waiters singing happy birthday. Now usually I hate joy and flowers and puppies and rainbows. Yeah, I mean yeah. Mexican restaurants Happy bed they do joo, happy bedday, told you, And it's always happy bedday, Ponte because they don't know your name, and no one asks, Okay, that's worth an email? Is that an HR complaint? Uh? We do have a couple of Hispanics in the building. No, well you're looking at one of them.
Yeah, two of them, and we prefer to you know, your turn your body white for a Hispanic. I'm pretty white. She's pretty red for Hispanic. Yeah, that's true. I'm you're going to ask whether that red hair is natural or not? Is it natural? Happy? Thank you? Well yeah, he went on a tangent about Anne's birthday that had nothing to do with Anne. It was fascinating six oh eight, Happy birthday, and we love you. Thank you for my little message. Yeah, yeah,
it's uh. I'll tell you just when HR Departments came into being, that was the destroyer of worlds. Exactly what Oppenheimer said when he saw the atomic bomb go off in New Mexico. When the first tests he looked at the BOMBNI goes, Wow, HR Departments the destroyer of worlds. You know, we didn't have an HR Department until you got mornings. So all right,
you guys ready to do it. It's Friday. It is Friday. We are not that we don't do this the other days of the week, but it's always I think that where we start the show is always the most fun on Friday mornings because we just go out of our minds. We really do for us of the audience. Oh no, we do. No, No, Amy, you're there, you're there. Yeah, No, you're there. Okay, guys, ready to do it? Handle on the news, Amy Neil and me lead story, accuse it. And this is exactly what
we talked about where that sc student fatally stabbed a burglary suspect. He was arrested, and now the DA says this kid is not going to be charged. Nineteen years old and he and his friend are coming outside. They see what appears to be a someone breaking into his car, goes up there, they have an altercation. He pulls out a knife. The suspect says, I have a gun, and according to the witness fellow that was with the
nineteen year old saying, he then reached into his waistband. And I said, that was an interesting one because I'll tell you what the defense is going to be, and that is he's reasonably reasonably felt his life was in danger and his self defense. That's exactly what happened. You know, if we're not going to be protected, we have to be able to protect ourselves. And I'm not saying you have to go out there and be batman, But go ahead and have the ability. You can't tell us we we can't protect
ourselves and not have No, it's absolutely true. You are allowed. Self defense is legitimate. And then in states like you stand your ground, uh, and the castle concept or the castle view offending your castle, defending your castle. So for example, if you see someone breaking into the dog house in the backyard, you can shoot them in the back of the head because it is your castle on your property. So they don't have to do that. California, by the way, what do they have to be? I
thought you couldn't shoot at them unless they were facing you or something. Christ Well, yeah, it has to do with a threat. It has to do with a breaking and entering. That's a crime. And you are except in Texas, even if your life is not in danger, someone just breaking in your house, you can start shooting. Now, tell me you're not in danger. If somebody's breaking into your house, that's and that's what they're breaking into your house. To make understand, I understand that. However,
the concept as in California, your life has to be in danger. It's a question of just degree, that's all. And you have states where pro gun states and it really does break down politically, and that is there's a lot more leeway in pro gun states in terms of in terms of some shooting someone that breaks into your house. You know, for a long time, I was the person they'd call if somebody erratic or displeasing showed up at the station, and I would go and meet them. And I had law enforcement
tell me what I could do and not do. And you know, they said, hey, if you do X, Y and Z, we're going to back you. But if it goes beyond that, but that's also a public location that is not your home, and there's a very very big difference. But yeah, he prized what I was able. I know, well, we've had people come in. I met people that somehow made it on the floor and walked up to me and I just kept on pointing to someone else over there. Over there. He would look taken the walk fight and
said, mister Handle. No, no, not me, that's mister Handle right there. Now the security has changed since then, but back in the day. Hearkening back to twenty thirteen, we too low. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a Southwest Airlines flight that descended to just five hundred and twenty five feet above ground as it was approaching will Rogers World Airport just after midnight Wednesday. That triggered an altitude warning and then you can hear air traffic Control
going, you guys out there, and then they stopped descending. After it got to that level. It climbed briefly and then maneuvered for a successful landing. But it does remind me of that flight, the Agiana flight that yeahd San Francisco and came in too low and then nish is that is worth watching on YouTube. It's Asiana Airport or Asiana Airlines San Francisco Airport, and it was that I don't know the name of the broadcaster, but it could be
the funniest broadcast It was on TV. It was on just astoundingly hilarious, the funniest thing I've ever seen on YouTube. Well, you know, and I know that the first response is people are going to be thinking of the racist aspect, but that the funniest part is that in a modern world, that somebody didn't proof read or that it got past Oh no, I think no. From what I understand, it was an intern that purposely did it.
That's that's what I understand that in any case. And then the other point I want to make on a far more serious note, is this is the second go round we just had last week playing going too Low and the number of close calls, and I gotta tell you it's just a question of time. We've had so many that we are on the precipice of a next major disaster. There's no question in my mind. And for the first time in my adult life, come October, I'm on an airplane. I'm leaving
for a vacation on a plane. First time in my adult life, I am really concerned about safety on an airplane. First time. Something's going to happen. It has to, it's been. There's too many, too many float close calls. There's too many airplanes that have all kinds of mechanical problems well fires. As your crew, we will be here thinking the best thoughts and gambling on the overunder of you dying. Yeah, I mean, I just legitimately, it's it's become scary. There are just way too many close
calls and incidents. Is like this, and the last thing you want is an you know, air controller traffic air controller going uh, hello you guys, good out there, yeah, are you okay? Awake? Ye crazy? All right? Mortgage rates fell this week to their lowest levels since early April. That puts the standard thirty year fixed rate mortgage average at about six point eighty seven. That is down from the six point nine to five average, and that is down that was down from the earlier peak of seven point
two two. So that's all good news, except that we have not forgotten three percent money yet, and that's the problem. And so it's just a question of time when we find that six percent is about the average mortgage rate and has been historically, that's what we're kind of used to. And then for twenty five years or twenty years, we got three percent money, and so everybody is cheering that it's gone down to six point eight seven percent, which is still at Well, let me ask you, Neil, you're sitting
on a mortgage rate of what two point eight percent? Yeah, both places? Okay, do you find uh, would you find six point eight seven percent just hugely horrifically expensive on a mortgage? You know what, you taught me something really great sometime ago, and that was not to look at a car as a investment, but as a utility. Right, you told me you just got it. You're gonna need a car, so you just got
a kind of thing. And and if you want a house, you got to just eat those things and say, Okay, this is going to be part of it. And if it changes the way I look at it, if it changes, then you refinance, which we had we did three times or more thanks to Lisa Ali by the way, at Summit Lending. But if it doesn't, then are you never going to buy a house? So you're kind well, I'm gonna do you either have to do it or you don't. Yeah, there's a story about that, but let's continue on because
we've got a lot to cover. Guess who gets the last word. Former President Trump will get the final word in next week's debate. The coin they did a coin flip and Biden won the coin flip, so they got to pick whether they wanted to select which podium that Biden would stand that or what the order of closing statements would be, and Biden's people chose podium placement.
Yes, I would do the same thing because Donald Trump having the last word is the same of him as having the first word, the second word, the middle word. Because it's they and for the first time. Thank goodness, the moderators will be able to cut the microphone off when it's not one of the candidates turned to speak. If you remember the last debate, especially during the Hillary debate, I'm screaming at the moderators. Not a Donald Trump
who kept on interrupting. That's just who he is. You know, there's no hidden agenda with this. We know how he operated. It's just it's a presidential debate, you know, are you really going to let interruptions happen? So Mike goes off. I love that. What about that creepy thing that Trump did where he walked behind Hillary? You're hilarious. You can't do like peacefully? Photo bombs. Moderators are a bunch of whimps. They no control whatsoever. It seems like like a hard gate. Hey did the Biden
people pick the podium that was closest to the entry? Uh So that's I once moderated. I once moderated a congressional race, a debate, and I brought in one of those error horns, you know the kind that you have on the can that blows, Yeah, that blows people's ears out, and I play, and I played. I said at the beginning, I said, if anybody goes and interrupts, this is what's going to happen. And then the air it's an air raid siren. It's allowed. And no one
interrupted. No one interrupted because everybody was knew that I would do that. I wish the moderators would do something like that. And this is close. We'll just cut off the mic mid sentence even and we'll see if that works or not. All right, the Biden administration is moving Ukraine ahead of other
countries in line that were slated to receive air defense missiles. So the latest move in its effort to kind of rush urgently needed weapons to Kiev and to show their support because of the delay that went through not too long ago, right, So that just doubles up the manufacturers. They're the orders for them for weapons, their happy campers, Oh are they happy campers, companies that
make munitions, the companies that make drones, all of it. Good time to invest right now, they're only using these IOU explosion signs in the Ukraine very good or Ukraine rather very good. Okay, Hey, it's all in the family, multi generational, family run retail. Theft crew has been busted. They are accused of robbing dozens of stores around southern California, stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. The LAPDS Organized Retail Theft Task Force is the
one who found them. They dubbed the crime family the Dodger Crew because they were wearing Dodger gear. A lot of times they went into Macy's nordstrooms in La Glendale, Torrents and other cities and they would steal things like perfumes and colognes and that kind of stuff and then go around sell it and please say it was a very lucrative business. Yeah, multi generational. Can you believe it? Yeah? I can't. It's crime family. They're pretending that they're
a cartel or the mab Barker family. But I love paragraph three of this story at the end. What they do is they steal price see perfumes and cologns, and then real resell the merchandise for a profit. How can you not sell it for a profit if it's free and you've stolen it. Yeah, it'd be hard. You have to. Yeah, you'd have to sell it minus something working unless you get paid to do it. Okay, Okay, So summer heat is on the rise, and for many workers Southern California,
especially if you're like a warehouse worker or something miserable. So California employees who work in those hot indoor conditions are getting new protections from cal OSHA, and that is good news. Here's a question. Under the new rules require employers to provide heat safety training, cooling areas, water when the indoor temperature reaches eighty two degrees that's winter for US indoor at eighty two degrees, yeah, swinter time. Yeah, so I mean we're used to hundred and twenty.
Come on, I start thinking about all the delivery drivers. I think ups just barely got air conditioning in those trucks. Yeah, but they're open trucks. I don't know how they do that if they close them up, but I just have the coal air coming on you. I saw our male carrier. Yes, mail carriers are basically those are Safari vehicles. Safari vehicles, those male carriers be safe. A big old dino has been dug up. It's called Loki sarah toops range offormists something like that in the bad lands
of northern Montana, near the US Canada border. It's a giant horn species of dinosaur. It's apparently a cousin of the infamous tri Sarah toops. So it's got that big like a shield behind its head. And this one's different because it's got horns up on top of the head and it's supposed to be or It was twenty two feet long, weighed eleven thousand pounds, and was the largest herbivore in its ecosystem when it was alive ninety two million years ago.
Yeah, they're always digging up new dinosaurs, new species, and it's always Montana because that was where they hung out, and the bad lands of Montana used to be. Of course, this jungly, sweaty swampy landy. Yeah, yeah, ninety two million years ago. You think it was a schwitz there. It was. It was a matter of fact. As a matter fact, one of the names that they were looking at is the Schitza
toops, but Schwitzosaurus. You know, listening to Wake Up Paul with Ay this morning talking about this, I guess it makes sense that they're digging up new dinosaurs and species all the time, but it is pretty fascinating that it's still taking place sixty five million years later. And also you notice they don't need many pieces to figure out what it looked like. The horns. I mean, you can get a toe and they'll come up with what it looked
like. Right, Why it is? That's why you know, we all learned about the brontosaurus, and the Brontosaurus doesn't exist anymore because they went oops wrong, had Yeah, all right, I didn't know that, by the way, I just agreed, so it seemed like I knew what I meant. Well, the Brontosaurus is what we thought existed with the bronosaurs. I've seen Jurassic Park. Let me alone. That's not that's a different that's not
a bronosaurus. They didn't exist. Moving on all right. Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a four year contract with JJ Reddick to make him the franchise next coach. He's never coached before, never coached as an assistant, a head coach, never in the NBA. He was an analyst. And he's still getting what a six years, seven million dollars seventy million dollar contract. But I don't think these are no cut contracts. I think those are very few and far between. And if it doesn't work out, if the Lakers
just gone first season, he's gone. I think someone can correct me on that. We should have Petros. Send an email to Petros and ask that question. TikTok on attack. TikTok has ramped up its attacks on the Biden administration over a law that could end up banning the app from the US, arguing in a court filing that US TikToker used TikTok users could be forced to live on an island of content disconnected from the rest of the world if the platform is forced to find a new owner. Yeah, which is a croc.
There's plenty of plenty of platforms that would buy TikTok. Tell me Zuckerberg wouldn't buy it for a decent price, and it's forced to sell goes for fire sale prices, maybe it'll probably be a bid. By the way TikTokers do work, Amy, I think it's a great line. Also, Amy, I want to point something out. You are very good at coming out with these headlines when you start. They're clever, they're punny. I mean I never congratulated you for that, but they are excellent. I just want
to point that out. Okay, there was a susy yesterday that I'm trying to remember. Yeah, I mean, almost every story is just really neat how they start and the story collapses. Of course, Oh boy, there's he pushed the limits of I can't let it go. I just can't let it go, not even on Anne's birthday. We get a reprieve. All right. So scientists have finally found a way for men to care about microplastics as they have found them inhuman penises for the first time. Every man listening
just cringed. Yeah. And just for clarification, Bill, penis is an appendage that most men have, So I concern you not call these with the word swans in they're someplace. So everybody's talking about these tiny particles, the proliferation, potential health effects of these, you know, microplastics, and uh so now they're finding these, you know, seven or so different kinds of microplastics found in four or five samples of penis tissue taken from five different men
as part of this study. So five guys, okay, five, okay, boy, there's a study for you. How is that statistically significant? Yeah? I don't know, that's kind of weird. Also, do you find a strange that it's only in the penises. I mean, I find out I don't know that they've found it. It's not. It's just that they looked at it and they found it there too. Okay, now let's do that one. Where do you go? Where? How far do you go with a study that only looks at penises and not for penis like priapism?
You know, when you're making a left turn sign if you're on a bicycle. Wasn't that Clinton? Didn't? I think? Also? I think Michael Jackson a half also as described by uh, one of the one of the one of the boys that he was accused of. He can't sue me now that he bonked uh you know, one of the eight or nine year olds. Yeah, it's confusing in Spanish, the recoc Yeah,
