Speaker 1: You're listening to k f I Am six forty the
Speaker 1: Bill Handles show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Coming
Speaker 1: to the bottom of the hour. It is ask handle anything,
Speaker 1: and this is what the fun topics that we do.
Speaker 1: Neil Savedra is not here today. Neil is sick, so
Speaker 1: we're not doing Foody Friday today. Instead, I'm doing a
Speaker 1: couple of other topics in the eight o'clock hour, the
Speaker 1: first part of the eight o'clock hour. What else is
Speaker 1: going on today? Oh, Kono is also sick, so we
Speaker 1: have what's his face over there? Tony? Oh that's right.
Speaker 1: How long have I known you, Tony? Since I started here?
Speaker 1: So almost thirty years? Thirty years? Okay, I genuinely just
Speaker 1: forgot your name one more time. I'm honest to god,
Speaker 1: I genuinely just forgot your name. There you go. I
Speaker 1: don't mind. That's time. Yeah, I know. I've been bored up.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be invisible. No one's supposed to know
Speaker 1: me anyway. Well, okay, well said, hey, let me tell
Speaker 1: you what's going on at the National Security Council. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of grief for talking a lot
Speaker 1: about Trump. For the most part, negatively, because you know
Speaker 1: where I am on this one. And at the same time,
Speaker 1: I think I'm being fair, assuming that I have biased
Speaker 1: and you accept the fact that I'm biased like crazy.
Speaker 1: But when I believe Trump deserves credit, I give it
Speaker 1: to him. Not with the National Security Council. The dismissals
Speaker 1: at the National Security Council, I mean people are wheeling,
Speaker 1: especially in the security aspect of the United States. National
Speaker 1: Security Council is a part of the US government that
Speaker 1: provides a forum for the president to consider pressing national
Speaker 1: security and foreign policy issues. These are senior advisors and
Speaker 1: they the NSSE is a sort of a think tank
Speaker 1: for the president. Now, the NSC is not independent. The
Speaker 1: NSC work for the president, There's no question about it.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there you put experts, or
Speaker 1: presidents put in experts. Some experts were not particularly in
Speaker 1: favor of the agenda of the president, but they're there
Speaker 1: as a sounding board. Well, the sounding board was fired.
Speaker 1: It was the first part of the federal workforce to
Speaker 1: be purged when Trump returned to power in January, two
Speaker 1: days into the second term. This is before Dodge came
Speaker 1: in there. Okay, the Dodge arrives at the federal agencies
Speaker 1: with orders were firing everybody way. Before that, the council's
Speaker 1: new leaders banished dozens of career officials. Now the top
Speaker 1: senior senior positions of the NSC. They're appointed by Trump,
Speaker 1: there's no question about it, and they're to adhere to
Speaker 1: Trump's or any president's agenda, with the understanding, here's some advice,
Speaker 1: mister president. You may not like it, but here is
Speaker 1: the reality. Well, the top leaders banished dozens of career officials,
Speaker 1: people who had been there that aren't political. It's just
Speaker 1: they're there to work the system. Gone. They were told
Speaker 1: on a conference call leave the Eisenhower Executive Office Building,
Speaker 1: which is where they're located. One of them said, I
Speaker 1: offered to bring my computer back, and they said, no,
Speaker 1: you can't even come into the building. He said. Everything
Speaker 1: was bizarre. Whole offices were emptied, including the unit focused
Speaker 1: on the Western hemispheres done by hemisphere career experts were
Speaker 1: pushed aside. None of the twenty six executive orders issued
Speaker 1: by Trump on his first day was reviewed anymore by
Speaker 1: NSC lawyers. NSC lawyers review everything that the president does
Speaker 1: in terms of foreign relations and what they're doing, what
Speaker 1: they do is they screen foreign policy decisions and actions
Speaker 1: to ensure the president is lawfully using executive power. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't need them if your position is everything I
Speaker 1: do is legitimate and legal. I don't need anybody telling
Speaker 1: me that what I'm doing is illegal if I believe
Speaker 1: everything I do is legal. And the President has said
Speaker 1: that a president, any president, but specifically, has ultimate power
Speaker 1: to do anything he wants. And the Supreme Court has
Speaker 1: effectively backed up that premise, saying if it is a
Speaker 1: national issue, if the president is acting within the purview
Speaker 1: of the presidency, then he cannot be held responsible in
Speaker 1: any way. Congress can't nail him, certainly, the Department of
Speaker 1: Justice can't nail him. He cannot commit a crime no
Speaker 1: matter what he does. Well, the NSC you don't add anymore.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened. They got tossed. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what's happening up there is they are reeling.
Speaker 1: I use that word a lot, really, because I think
Speaker 1: that's a lot of reaction to Trump's decision, not only
Speaker 1: by business and individuals and the world markets and the
Speaker 1: economic powers around the world, but within the administration, people
Speaker 1: are going, what the hell's going on. We don't know.
Speaker 1: For example, the tariffs. The announcement of the tariffs, he
Speaker 1: didn't go to the senior economic advisors. They were taken
Speaker 1: for a loop. They heard at the same time we did,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here's some tariffs. We're going for
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five percent on China. Huh. Really,
Speaker 1: at least with that the senior advisor's Treasury secretary other's
Speaker 1: way up there. Commerce Secretary turned around and said, mister President,
Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to do that, announcing that he's
Speaker 1: going to fire your own Powell. The day after, when
Speaker 1: the market tanked and a thousand percent or a thousand
Speaker 1: points went south on that, he at least listened when
Speaker 1: they said, you really can't do that, because saying you're
Speaker 1: going to fire Jerome Powell the head of the Fed.
Speaker 1: Instantly the entire world economic powers react because it wasn't
Speaker 1: just our stock market that went down. We're talking about
Speaker 1: markets across the world tanked, and there was real fear
Speaker 1: that a trade war was going to start. By the way,
Speaker 1: that fear is still here that a trade war is
Speaker 1: going to start, and a full blown trade war, well,
Speaker 1: that blows up the economy. Let me give you a
Speaker 1: little bit of history. Okay, the depression hits, and one
Speaker 1: of the things that was done during the depression is
Speaker 1: that they pot past the Smoot Holly Act. Congress did
Speaker 1: And what it did is it was a protectionist bill
Speaker 1: that set up tariffs so it would be American products
Speaker 1: that would only be sold by law. Nothing could be effectively,
Speaker 1: nothing could be imported in. And it was to protect
Speaker 1: American American business, American employees, et cetera. It was one
Speaker 1: of the major movers of the depression. It went completely
Speaker 1: the other way. And that is the argument that's going
Speaker 1: on right now is that tariffs are going to actually
Speaker 1: do so much harm to our economy that the workers,
Speaker 1: the business, the implementation, the investment by the various companies
Speaker 1: American companies are simply not going to happen. How many
Speaker 1: companies have announced since the embargo, since the tariff argument
Speaker 1: was brought up, since the announcement, that they're going to
Speaker 1: be spending billions of dollars here Now the administration has said,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, companies are lining up and trillions of dollars
Speaker 1: have been promised. Trillions, not billions. Okay, we'll see if
Speaker 1: that works. Unfortunately, trillions of dollars of new investment in factories,
Speaker 1: et cetera. That's years down the road. Embargoes are going
Speaker 1: on right now. When Trump announced one hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five percent embargo, that happened at midnight. All right, Moving
Speaker 1: on California film tax credit, that debate returns. Why because
Speaker 1: in this day of age, the golden age of television
Speaker 1: and streaming and the number of movies that are being produced,
Speaker 1: these folks are leaving California like crazy. And I'll talk
Speaker 1: about that coming back, because we'll see what California is doing.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 1: Footy Friday without the food. Neil is not feeling well.
Speaker 1: Hopefully back on Monday, and so next Friday we'll do
Speaker 1: the foody Friday part of our show. Also tonight, the
Speaker 1: Dodgers are back in LA and they take on the
Speaker 1: Pirates with the first pitch at seven. Listen to all
Speaker 1: the Dodger games on AM five to seven The LA Sports.
Speaker 1: Stream all Dodgers games and HD on the iHeartRadio app
Speaker 1: Keyword AM five seven the LA Sports. It's sponsored by
Speaker 1: Zen She she handcrafted sushi made fresh every day and
Speaker 1: it's at rals near the deli counter. Film and TV
Speaker 1: I have that right hold on, Okay, there we go. Whoa, oh,
Speaker 1: there you are. Okay, I had a glitch. They are
Speaker 1: going on in my headset film and TV production in
Speaker 1: Southern California. Well, film was actually created Southern California, or
Speaker 1: Southern California created the film industry and the TV industry.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just synonymous. We are the film industry.
Speaker 1: And for many years, decades, the first part of the
Speaker 1: last century right into well recently, everything was done in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Occasionally there would be location shooting, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: everything was done in Hollywood. Well that ended because you
Speaker 1: have various countries and certainly various states realized, you know,
Speaker 1: having films made here is really a good thing. Because
Speaker 1: production companies coming in in film where we are spend
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money. They pay their people, well,
Speaker 1: they have to put them up in hotels, they need
Speaker 1: at restaurants, providing jobs for a whole lot of companies
Speaker 1: out there. And we're talking about you know, films are
Speaker 1: and the tens, the hundreds of millions of dollars. So
Speaker 1: it's no joke. And so what they started doing is
Speaker 1: offering tax credits and in some cases offering straight out
Speaker 1: money will help you make a film. Here, Georgia, the Carolinas,
Speaker 1: You've got countries that are doing this. New Zealand with
Speaker 1: Peter Jackson, You've got Ukraine doing this when you're talking
Speaker 1: about Game of Thrones. I mean, everybody's lining up. They
Speaker 1: want production companies, so they're giving tax credits and they're
Speaker 1: giving money. So California is looking at hemorrhaging of the
Speaker 1: film industry, film and television industry, and now the industry
Speaker 1: has come to Sacramento and said, we need help. I mean,
Speaker 1: we need help. And this is one of those issues
Speaker 1: where both the unions and the production companies, the movie
Speaker 1: and television producers are step in step. I mean they
Speaker 1: are lined up together, and that never happens because all
Speaker 1: of them want to keep the industry here in southern California.
Speaker 1: So two bills have been introduced intended to make California's
Speaker 1: film and TV production more competitive, the incentives more competitive,
Speaker 1: increasing the tax credit up to thirty five percent of
Speaker 1: qualified expenditures and expanding the types of productions that would
Speaker 1: be eligible. So the tax credit people ask, what is
Speaker 1: that about, Well, companies own or companies owe the state
Speaker 1: of California taxes. Any company that works here in the
Speaker 1: state pays taxes, the film credit tax thirty five percent.
Speaker 1: What it does, it can be used by that company
Speaker 1: for any tax that it owes in the state of California.
Speaker 1: And so imagine you owe property taxes and you engage
Speaker 1: in a certain field or do some kind of a job,
Speaker 1: and doing that it cuts your tax liability by a third.
Speaker 1: That's big money. And that's what's happening here and what
Speaker 1: these film companies are saying in the unions, this is
Speaker 1: a lifeline for the entertainment industry battered in recent years
Speaker 1: because you had the pandemic, which battered everybody. You had
Speaker 1: the writers and actor strikes in twenty twenty three decimated
Speaker 1: the industry. The studios are spending less money. I mean,
Speaker 1: they do spend money on these tent pole pictures, but
Speaker 1: as far as independent films and the kind of money
Speaker 1: that's being spent and sort of the middle of the
Speaker 1: line films, many fewer films are being made and television
Speaker 1: shows are being made in southern California, and they're pulling
Speaker 1: back money. Then you had the wildfires, and then you
Speaker 1: had just this trend of the production companies leaving Rebecca Ryan,
Speaker 1: who is the executive director of the Director's Guild of America, says,
Speaker 1: we don't want to become the car industry in Detroit
Speaker 1: or the aerospace industry in California. When our industry thrives,
Speaker 1: we think California thrives. So the bill goes through the
Speaker 1: State Senate Committee, Revenue and Taxation Committee, and the Assembly
Speaker 1: Arts and Entertainment Committee unanimously. And so it's moving forward.
Speaker 1: By the way, Governor Gavin Newsom called last year to
Speaker 1: more than double the money allocated to the film and
Speaker 1: TV tax credit program. And so you think it's an
Speaker 1: automatic it's going to pass. Maybe not, Maybe not. The
Speaker 1: tax credit program was introduced in two thousand and nine
Speaker 1: under former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Surprised that Schwarzenegger would want
Speaker 1: to bring a TV and film production back to the
Speaker 1: back southern California. In a recent post on X, Assembly
Speaker 1: member Corey Jackson said, and here's the issue on the
Speaker 1: other side of this, saying, what are we doing giving
Speaker 1: tax breaks to film companies when we could be spending
Speaker 1: money to help the homelessness and allow so many kids
Speaker 1: to live in poverty, all of this for corporate and
Speaker 1: movie studio tax breaks. So I think it just boils
Speaker 1: down to simple numbers, that's it. And those people that
Speaker 1: say we shouldn't spend the money on these tax credits,
Speaker 1: let's help the poor, the homeless, that's help California citizens
Speaker 1: who need help, the marginalized. And so the answer is
Speaker 1: real simple as far as I'm concerned. Okay, X tax
Speaker 1: credit is given to a production company to stay in
Speaker 1: southern California or a film here. How much money does
Speaker 1: it generate for the economy? Okay, let's figure it out.
Speaker 1: And those that are saying that it's not worth it, Okay,
Speaker 1: how much does it cost? What is the loss to
Speaker 1: the economy? You take money out of our budget, or
Speaker 1: at least you don't get money into our budget because
Speaker 1: the tax we would normally get California normally get is
Speaker 1: not getting. So that's a cost. What is the benefit?
Speaker 1: And they just figure it out there it is. Now
Speaker 1: I'm in favor because I kind of like California to
Speaker 1: have this film production. Well that's not true. Actually, you
Speaker 1: ever lived in a neighborhood or been in a neighborhood
Speaker 1: where a film production company is out there. When I
Speaker 1: had the Persian Palace, there was the major street leading
Speaker 1: to my house and that was the only way I
Speaker 1: could get in. There was a production company. There was
Speaker 1: a house along the way and it was being used
Speaker 1: by I think a TV show and it was once
Speaker 1: a week for months at a time, they'd block off
Speaker 1: the street and I'd have a cop sitting there, you know,
Speaker 1: stopping traffic when we'd be backed up because this film
Speaker 1: company was there. So, you know what, I've just changed
Speaker 1: my mind. Screw the film companies. Let them film someplace else. Done.
Speaker 1: See how I can do that, because I just remember that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: get out. Oh that's the only thing cops in forms
Speaker 1: do that. Do you know that? It's the only time
Speaker 1: where security is given by off duty cops and they're
Speaker 1: in LAPD uniforms and on their motorcycles because usually cops
Speaker 1: doing security can't be dressed as cops. They can on
Speaker 1: that street. And I try to crash the craft's table
Speaker 1: because the food is really good, and I'll park my
Speaker 1: car and try to crash and have lunch. Can't do it.
Speaker 1: Security is too good, unfortunately, coming up ask candle anything.
Speaker 1: We do it every Friday right here. Don't go away.
Speaker 2: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hold, I said, put on your headphones. I am.
Speaker 1: I'm putting on my headsets, all right, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on?

Speaker 1: about how crowd it is. She's a disney fanatic. Of course.
Speaker 1: She gets season tickets and I go.
Speaker 3: I get season tickets to the Dodgers. I get an
Speaker 3: annual pass.
Speaker 1: The same thing, season tickets to both and she's telling
Speaker 1: me about the VIP experience where you don't wait in
Speaker 1: line for anything five thousand dollars per day roughly. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but it's all day. Okay, great things, it's.
Speaker 3: All day and it's a group of like eight to
Speaker 3: ten people.
Speaker 1: Okay, great, all right, it's time for do they have
Speaker 1: a case or ask handle anything? That's even better where
Speaker 1: basically people just ask questions of me and I just
Speaker 1: have a great time answering and it's completely humiliating. So
Speaker 1: let's do it, Tony. First question, this.
Speaker 4: Is for Bill Handle, ask handle anything. What's the deal
Speaker 4: with your new wife versus your old wife? And how
Speaker 4: many wives have you had? And all of us are
Speaker 4: very curious. Yeah, doesn't you could please explain.
Speaker 1: That dozens of wives? This is number two? And what's
Speaker 1: with it? I got divorced and I marry someone else?
Speaker 1: Is that complicated? That's the deal? Okay? Nice question. Well,
Speaker 1: by the way, I hear these questions for the first time,
Speaker 1: I mean we it would kneel and and go through
Speaker 1: them and pick these out. Okay, next question, let's hey,
Speaker 1: you handle this.
Speaker 2: As Dave from Westcovina, I was wondering how much your
Speaker 2: net worth was because I looked it up and it
Speaker 2: set somewhere fifty five to seventy five million, which is crazy.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you made that much money, but
Speaker 3: I think it was long.
Speaker 1: It is wrong by Yeah, here's the problem. It's where
Speaker 1: you looked at me. Yeah. No, it's where you look
Speaker 1: that up. And there are some that give my net
Speaker 1: worth at ridiculously low, where I'm going, come on, I'm
Speaker 1: doing better than that. And then there are others which
Speaker 1: give my net worth and the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you if I was worth anywhere near that,
Speaker 1: do you think I would be sitting here answering that
Speaker 1: question or would I have my assistance assistant answer the question?
Speaker 1: So that net worth business because I always look it up. Man,
Speaker 1: whenever there's we're talking about a star. What's Tom Cruise worth?
Speaker 1: You know what's Donald Trump worth? Well? Ask Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He's worth one hundred and fifty billion dollars. But uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you it's But thank you. You're giving me a lot
Speaker 1: of credit, much more, much more than I deserve. Okay,
Speaker 1: onwards and upwards.
Speaker 5: This is Karen and Jarrett from Magnolia Texas. We love camp.
Speaker 5: We listened to you all the time. But why are
Speaker 5: you such a dick?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a nice bill, you know, that's a very
Speaker 1: good question. And by the way, thanks for being on
Speaker 1: a speaker phone. That helps a lot. Uh so tell
Speaker 1: you what what if I answer from back here? Huh
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I'm a dick, all right,
Speaker 1: you know what, because that's who I am. I have
Speaker 1: always been that way, I probably always will be that way.
Speaker 1: And uh, I mean, ann am I off the air
Speaker 1: a nice guy at all? No? No, I'm not. Now
Speaker 1: do people hate me around here pretty much. They do.
Speaker 1: They do. Ah, people ask me every day? How do
Speaker 1: you work with them? I know?
Speaker 2: You see?
Speaker 1: And that is why we're doing Ask Candell Anything for
Speaker 1: exactly that reason, because people want to know Amy. People
Speaker 1: ask about you. They asked me about you? Is she
Speaker 1: really this neel and freak? I go yes, yes, to
Speaker 1: the point where it's a sickness. Yes, Tony, nobody cares
Speaker 1: about you. Okay. I just want to let you know, right, Amy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: why don't we?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you a question, Ask Amy anything?

Speaker 1: That's all? You know what? That's so good? You're right,
Speaker 1: you are absolutely right. Oh I may steal that. Uh huh.

Speaker 2: six forty.
Speaker 1: Oh and Neil Isn't Here and Kono isn't here, but
Speaker 1: Amy is and ann is and Tony in for Kono.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know who Tony is, don't worry
Speaker 1: about that because none of us know who Tony is.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're back to an ending ask handle anything,
Speaker 1: and we do that every single week. Have you noticed
Speaker 1: the questions are coming in, I mean really personal questions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know it's yeah, okay, So let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: we'll answer or I'll answer the rest of the questions Tony.
Speaker 1: Next question, this isn't ask Bill anything.
Speaker 5: Question Bill, I've listened to you for over thirty years,
Speaker 5: and I've seen you go through a lot of physical pain.
Speaker 5: What has been the worst physical pain you've gone through?
Speaker 5: And does that help you relate to Lindsay.
Speaker 1: I think the worst physical pain I ever went through
Speaker 1: is when I was circumcised when I was eight days old.
Speaker 1: It was it's a Jewish thing and it's it's a
Speaker 1: little tough to say the least. So what is the
Speaker 1: worst physical pain I've been through? Actually, probably my back
Speaker 1: when I had my back went out and I got
Speaker 1: an infection. It was in the hospital and I had
Speaker 1: a I had a cyst right next to my spinal cord,
Speaker 1: it got infected and it went into the spinal cord.
Speaker 1: And I've never ever experience pain like that in my
Speaker 1: entire life. And even pain medication just did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: And what was the part of the other part of
Speaker 1: the question. I completely forgot how I can relate to
Speaker 1: lindsay yeah, and she has a lot of pain too,
Speaker 1: So we go through life in a lot of pain.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, everybody that I work with
Speaker 1: goes through life in a lot of pain. Different way
Speaker 1: of doing it, all right, Tony, See, I'm telling you
Speaker 1: these are questions that people ask an all the time.
Speaker 1: What's it like working with Bill? They asked me what's
Speaker 1: it like working with Amy? But I really think people
Speaker 1: appreciate an honest answer. All right, I can't be that honest.
Speaker 1: All right. Next question, Hey, handle, this is Terry and
Speaker 1: Apple Valley. What did you get fired from Universal Studios?
Speaker 6: For?
Speaker 1: Oh? Specifically because there were a whole series of incidents.
Speaker 1: But the that I remember, and this is, uh, if
Speaker 1: I used to say things well, not that I don't
Speaker 1: say things now, but uh, there was a group of
Speaker 1: people that came in and when I was a tour
Speaker 1: guid at Universal would talk about how movies were made
Speaker 1: and when you uh the when, for example, you see
Speaker 1: a ceiling right the way technically the way it works
Speaker 1: because there's lights coming in from the top, so you
Speaker 1: would only see a little part of the ceiling in
Speaker 1: the shot, just a corner, but your mind would assume
Speaker 1: it goes across the entire ceiling, and that your mind does.
Speaker 1: And then I said, uh, so everybody put their hands
Speaker 1: open fisted, put their hands over their eyes, and you'll
Speaker 1: see what I'm talking about. And so everybody does, and
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, look, you look like a bunch of
Speaker 1: dumb India and that are going It was an Indian
Speaker 1: tribe that was there that I was speaking in front of.
Speaker 1: That was that was tough. I didn't know. I didn't
Speaker 1: do that on purpose. Didn't do it on purpose. And
Speaker 1: then I don't know if I got fired for that one.
Speaker 1: There was another one, an incident when I was in
Speaker 1: a sound stage with Robin was his name, I'll never forget,
Speaker 1: a very very funny, funny guy. And during the summer,
Speaker 1: they would take two trams with two tour guides and
Speaker 1: we'd be crammed together and we would alternate. We'd go
Speaker 1: from set to set and do our talking, our little lecturing.
Speaker 1: And there was a guy, and there was one hundred
Speaker 1: people in the room. There was a guy who went
Speaker 1: into a grand mall seizure right in front of us
Speaker 1: and went and he was flopping like a fish. It
Speaker 1: was not pleasant and grand mall seizure. And I'm talking
Speaker 1: on the microphone and I looked down at him, I go,
Speaker 1: stop that, that's rude. I got in trouble for that one.
Speaker 1: That was tough. So you know, those are the two
Speaker 1: incidents I forgot. I remember, but didn't last very long.
Speaker 1: I didn't last at most jobs. All right, one more question.
Speaker 6: Are you as confident out in public and sarcastic as
Speaker 6: you are on the radio?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Confident? I don't know about confident. I mean I
Speaker 1: have no self esteem and the confidence is I think
Speaker 1: somewhat of a wall. But am my ass in public? Yeah? Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: You know I don't have any secret agenda. Remember Russia Limba,
Speaker 1: Russia Limba would be this bombastic guy, but in person
Speaker 1: he was very quiet, he was very shy. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm basically who I am. I think we do have
Speaker 1: time for one more of Tony if we have one bill.
Speaker 7: This is Dan from Las Vegas kind of question. Did
Speaker 7: you ever while on the air, have like an emergency
Speaker 7: number two sneak up on you a little loose movement?
Speaker 7: And did you have to leave there immediately? And if
Speaker 7: you did, did you come back and make an excuse?
Speaker 7: What were you honest about it?
Speaker 1: Probably two times a week that happens. There have been
Speaker 1: any incidents where I left and I was late and
Speaker 1: they'd make fun of me, and I would I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say in the bathroom, but I would say I had
Speaker 1: an emergency meeting down the hall that I had to attend. Yeah, Amy,
Speaker 1: how many times have I come back and said I
Speaker 1: had to pee? Several? Yeah? I do it all the time.
Speaker 1: And then when I just come back. You know, now, moving.

Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh I haven't heard that. Okay, you haven't.
Speaker 3: Did you see that? No you didn't see that. No,
Speaker 3: Shaquille O'Neal. It was happening. Earlier this week he was

Speaker 6: Good morning Bill. My question is in regard it's to
Speaker 6: your daughters and the mental health that you deal with
Speaker 6: in your family. You've been very open about it, and
Speaker 6: I'm just curious if your daughters mind you talking about
Speaker 6: that and about them so openly.
Speaker 1: Yes, they mind, They mind a lot. Matter of fact,
Speaker 1: last night I had dinner with Barbara and she was
Speaker 1: complaining about exactly that, and I was fairly gracious about it.
Speaker 1: I said, too bad, that's the cost of doing business.
