WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:04.799 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI Am 2 00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:08.839 six forty Hi Am six forty. 3 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:13.960 Bill Handle Morning, host of Strength laid off the cleverly 4 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:15.960 entitled Bill Handle Show. 5 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.039 I don't know who came up with that, probably me. 6 00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.519 This Saturday, that is tomorrow seven o'clock KFIS News is 7 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.160 KFI News reporter anchor Michael Monks will host a KFI 8 00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:30.839 News special. 9 00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.399 La Fire is a path forward. 10 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:38.359 Two hour special exploring the wildfires and the path to recovery, 11 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.799 which is now what we are truly concerned with. 12 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.479 No surprise, Robert F. 13 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:51.200 Kennedy Junior has been confirmed as Secretary of HHS Health 14 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.159 and Human Services. This sort of wraps up the controversial 15 00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:01.280 heads of departments that heretofore would never ever have even denominated. 16 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:08.439 But Trump nominates some really weird people, gets them in 17 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.000 because he is an outlier, truly, and this is a 18 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.280 president who I've never seen have more power over his 19 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:22.719 party party members, Congress people, senators are scared to death. 20 00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.359 Of Donald Trump. 21 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.280 They do anything he says, no matter what why, because well, 22 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.319 it's more important for them to get re elected than 23 00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.959 it is for the good of the country. I truly 24 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.560 believe that I can't believe that every single senator truly 25 00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:42.280 believes that RFK Junior should be Health and Human Service 26 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.280 as Secretary, or that Gabbard should be head of National 27 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.840 Intelligence or Pete Hegseeth should be the Defense secretary, because 28 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.200 all of them think that, well, that's kind of crazy. 29 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.959 But RFK. Here's the issue with RFK. How about this 30 00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:05.000 conspiracy theory he's about vaccine, AIDS, anthrax, his uncle John F. Kennedy, assassination, 31 00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:11.560 COVID nineteen sunlight gender dysphoria five G. I mean caught 32 00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:14.599 up in conspiracy theories that all of that, Well, vaccines 33 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.280 will destroy you, it'll they'll kill you. AIDS vaccine came 34 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:22.319 out of a lab, but we're specifically engineered by the 35 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.120 Chinese to not affect Ashkenazi Jews. 36 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:28.919 Or I think was black people. 37 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.240 The only one I cared about is ashcan Aser Jews 38 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.000 because that's what I am. And I didn't get COVID 39 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:40.560 because he's absolutely right. COVID accempted me because that's who 40 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:41.240 I am. 41 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:43.240 Okay, fair enough. 42 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.680 How about the worm eating part of his brain that's 43 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.840 very strong and a couple of things about it. During 44 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.360 the hearings, he was asked specifically about you are against vaccines. 45 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.960 Of course he deflected and he went the other way 46 00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.599 and he said, I'm not completely against vaccine. My kids 47 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.719 are vaccinated. He was completely against vaccines, But. 48 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.800 Deflex doesn't answer the question. 49 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.439 I think the most interesting part about the confirmation is 50 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:16.360 Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, who when he was in 51 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.240 state government in Louisiana is a doctor. He led the 52 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:25.919 fight to vaccinate kids for I think it was hepatitis. 53 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.960 He led that fight. That was his fight for vaccines. 54 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.919 And he went ahead and still confirmed. During the hearings, 55 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.879 he nailed our FK about that and in the end 56 00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.319 voted to move the nomination forward. And all of this 57 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:50.000 is just absolute proof that Donald Trump that everybody has 58 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:54.240 complete deference, especially was up for reelection. Here comes Kennedy 59 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:59.199 up for or Cassidy up for reelection in twenty twenty six. 60 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.000 Trump makes it very clear, you go against anything that 61 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.520 I propose, including nominees, I will primary you out. 62 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:09.919 You are done as. 63 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.599 A politician, and that what he's done. That and so 64 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:17.720 these people who are elected, and I truly believe this, 65 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.480 they care more about their reelection. 66 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:22.879 Than they do about the good of the country. 67 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.720 Now, one argument they have which makes some sense, saying, 68 00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.720 if I don't get re elected, I can do nothing. 69 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.519 I cannot push an agenda that I believe is good 70 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:39.639 for the country. And in rfk's defense, which there's not 71 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.160 a lot to defend as far as I'm concerned, he 72 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.600 has said, and I believe him somewhat, maybe seventy percent, 73 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:54.639 that the health of Americans, chronic disease is an existential 74 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.560 threat to the United States. 75 00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.920 We have the highest rate of heart disease in the world. 76 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.879 Our mortality rate is dropping, a lot of it because 77 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.199 of fentanyl, but it's an opioids, but it's still dropping. 78 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.040 And we're just not a very healthy society. Mortality rate. 79 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.920 I mean, we're you know, the richest country in the 80 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.199 world virtually is number. 81 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.439 Forty one or forty two in the world. 82 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:22.240 I mean, that says a lot about our health system, 83 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.879 and it doesn't say anything good. Our health system is 84 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.600 broken completely, and he says we have to redo it. 85 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.000 By the way, that part of it had, that part 86 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.879 of his policy a bipartisan support, so we don't do 87 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:39.800 He wants to remove junk food from school lunches. 88 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.279 That's what makes him taste good. There's no junk food. 89 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.120 The kids don't eat all right, there's an argument there, 90 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:48.360 but a lot of school lunches. 91 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.959 That sort of program actually fall to the Department of Agriculture. Now, 92 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.279 Cassidy said to him during the hearings, if you come 93 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:03.120 out on a equivocally vaccines are safe, it does not 94 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.720 cause autism. That would have an incredible impact. That's your power. 95 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:14.079 So what's it going to be? He deflected, total deflection. 96 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.319 As you've seen over and over again, it does not matter. 97 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.240 I have often said this, and I believe it to 98 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:30.120 be true. If Charles Manson were alive and Trump nominated 99 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:37.560 him as Attorney General, he would be confirmed. Swastika carved 100 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.680 into his forehead with a razor blade and all a 101 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:48.319 lot of power there. Okay, Now, workspace, returning to work, 102 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:54.480 keeping on working remotely, big controversy going on Amazon, and 103 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.399 this is one of the bigger stories that sort of 104 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.000 brought this to the surface. Told hundreds of thousands of employees, 105 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.600 you're back at your desks full time and you're working 106 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.240 looking for another job if you don't, and one of 107 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.040 the hitches, there aren't enough office spaces for them. Now 108 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.240 you can do that with office employees obviously people in 109 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:20.439 front of computer. It is more difficult the employees and 110 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.639 the fulfillment centers to say we want to work remotely 111 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:28.439 and not go back to the center. That is a joke, 112 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.480 because it is hard to put a box of something 113 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.040 in a box if you're not there. 114 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.079 Okay, thank you, very deep, very deep. 115 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.120 In the meantime, that sent shock waves across the tech world. 116 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.560 Why because Amazon has three hundred and fifty thousand corporate 117 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:54.240 employees that having started in January this year, you're back 118 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:58.720 at the office or you are fired, don't bother coming back, 119 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:01.720 and was the reason Amazon did this? 120 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.639 Well, I think the same reason that management did that. 121 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:06.800 Here we now have that. 122 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.639 Obviously we're here in studios, so or most of the 123 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.040 time we're here in studio, so you know, it really 124 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.199 doesn't matter. But salespeople, particularly management people, they were working remotely. 125 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.360 Everybody was during. 126 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:23.480 COVID and management came down a few weeks ago five 127 00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:29.000 days a week, thank you very much, and people were saying, wow, 128 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:32.360 but I work remotely, and I have good reasons to 129 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:35.279 argue that because I'm in front of the computer and 130 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.080 I have to see if I have to go to 131 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.960 see clients. I'm out of the office anyway, and the 132 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.399 argument that management used and totally legitimate, by the way, 133 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.399 because I think this does pan out. The studies have 134 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.440 shown that when you're in the office, there is more 135 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:54.279 collaborate collaboration. There is more a feeling of engagement with 136 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.799 your employees, with fellow employees, there's a water cooler talk. 137 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.200 Although you notice and no one has water coolers anymore. 138 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:07.000 It's bottles of water. For the most part. You're just 139 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:12.679 more involved if you are there at the office. 140 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.679 And case in point. 141 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.919 I have a home studio that I sometimes broadcast from. 142 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.600 Neil has a home studio where he sometimes broadcasts from. 143 00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:24.639 Kno can't. 144 00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:30.360 Amy can't because of the physicality of everything. But Neil, 145 00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.759 do you notice that when we are together, all of 146 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:36.039 us in effectively one room, because that's how we broadcast, 147 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:39.639 there is more engagement. We talked during the breaks, we laugh, 148 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.799 we joke and make fun of each other. So that's 149 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:47.559 absolutely true. On the other hand, I live an hour 150 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:51.039 and a half away from the studio. Now do I 151 00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:55.200 go in there regularly? Yeah, I do, but it's three hours. 152 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.799 Pardon those fault. Is all that you used to live 153 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.840 down the road did, and then I moved. 154 00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.799 I'm now in South Orange County, I mean south south 155 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.960 south Orange, Orange County, where all my neighbors only speak Spanish. 156 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:13.480 Nice, thank you. 157 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.120 But but I've been a uh you know, I've had 158 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.960 my own companies, and I've been a I've been a freelancer, 159 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.759 uh in many times in my life as an artist 160 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.879 and designer in the market. 161 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:24.960 Very different though, you very you have to. 162 00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.639 Have discipline to be able to do those kinds of things. 163 00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:32.320 But in a camaraderie style circumstance, you're never going to 164 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.600 beat everybody being together. 165 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.679 Yeah, No one has. 166 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.240 Ever asked for me to be in the same uh 167 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:43.960 you know office, same building, Uh, same neighborhood because uh, 168 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.399 well it's kind of obvious that no one particularly wants 169 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:47.840 me there. 170 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.320 But there is a lot more engagement now. 171 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.519 When I had my company, uh, we didn't have to 172 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.799 worry about that because this was pre COVID. 173 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.759 Wow. Have I been out of that that long? I 174 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.679 guess I have. But really there was a lot of engagement. 175 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:10.360 People would even for lunch, they would sit down at 176 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.879 the office in the conference room, our employees because they 177 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.320 would rather have that kind of camaraderie. 178 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.159 Two reasons. 179 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.759 Number one, I only gave him ten minutes for lunch, 180 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.240 so it took them that much longer to go downstairs 181 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:29.679 and come back. And two everybody sort of well, we 182 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.240 didn't give them enough money frankly to have them go 183 00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.519 out for lunch. But it was very, very different when 184 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:38.879 everybody is in the office. Everybody was very tight, and 185 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.240 especially if people do like each other, it's an enormous difference. 186 00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.120 So Amazon the only difference, and a lot of people 187 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.399 the only difference is they don't have enough office space. 188 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:50.440 That's another issue. 189 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.879 If everybody comes to work and this is post COVID 190 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:57.279 and the footprint of office space has gone down dramatically, 191 00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:58.720 what do you do? 192 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.000 Will you share cubicles? 193 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.200 Well, if everybody is in the office at the same 194 00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.559 time and you're sharing a cubicle, something's. 195 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.399 Got to give. And things have changed. I mean, here, 196 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:11.120 you come down here. 197 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.120 We have swaths of cubicle space pits. 198 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.080 We call them. 199 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:20.159 There. They are in the pit that are not inhabited 200 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.080 at all, No one's there. I mean, you could take 201 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:27.480 a bowling ball and just you know, play literally bowl 202 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.399 and you'll never hit anybody or hit any kind of furniture. 203 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:36.720 So the world is changing, it's coming back, and now 204 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:41.879 we're going to look at what kind of production happens. 205 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.159 That's the important one, and that's sort of out. It's 206 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:50.440 sort of mixed messages. Here is more production? Does more 207 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:55.000 production happen with remote workers? Because they are just people 208 00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.519 will work remotely and as Neil said, our discipline can 209 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:00.000 do the work are a lot happier. 210 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.039 They're at home, there is no commute. They sort of 211 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.480 work their own hours. If you have a kid that 212 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:07.399 you just go over there and take care of the child. 213 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:09.320 I mean, there's a lot to be said. 214 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.559 All right, now we're gonna have fun personality tests when working. 215 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.919 And I'm gonna tell you in a minute my experience, 216 00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.960 personality tests can actually cost you your dream job. 217 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:24.519 And why is that? 218 00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:29.159 Because more companies are adding personality tests to hiring screens. 219 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.519 Nick Malik, the story out of the Wall Street Journal, 220 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.320 was given an online personality. 221 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:37.200 Assessment test by three. 222 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:42.720 Employers perspective employers for his senior level engineering role. Didn't 223 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.399 get it because I got some really weird questions. Now, 224 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.720 I understand the desire to know a little bit about 225 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:52.399 your applicants, but running their answers by a bot that's 226 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.440 not particularly effective now because he's fifty nine. Maybe his 227 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.639 test results hold him back. Maybe is age. But here's 228 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:08.519 what's happening with companies now fixation on quote fit that 229 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:10.000 is the biggest. 230 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:10.799 Buzzword in hiring. 231 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:17.240 Employers are reaching for personality assessments, questionnaires now all the 232 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:23.320 way from questionnaires developed by psychologists, and it's pretty sophisticated stuff. 233 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.720 And some are going to well. 234 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:34.000 Astrology, handwriting analysis. Now, while that seems to be far fetched, 235 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:39.159 that is actually growing. And what's happening is companies now 236 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.799 can be a lot pickier when they were desperate for 237 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:44.919 talent a few years ago. A lot of people are capable, 238 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.720 and so what employers now want are people. 239 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:54.200 A good fit? Can they work together? And how do 240 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:55.720 they do that well. 241 00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:01.600 Personality tests are very interesting because they're are they on point, 242 00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:07.159 not really or really depending on the way they're administered, 243 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:11.720 the way they're written, the way they're interpreted. So it 244 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.440 used to be that employers could wanted to grab anybody 245 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.799 because there was such a shortage, for example, of high 246 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.000 talent tech folks. Today, you know, it's not easy to 247 00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.840 get a job if you're a high end tech person. 248 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:30.240 They can be insightful. They can predict high performance in 249 00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:31.360 specific roles. 250 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.240 Maybe it's like IQ tests. 251 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.679 You can be very bright in one area and failed 252 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.480 an IQ test. You can literally come off like a moron, 253 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.039 and then in another field you're a genius. So what 254 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:51.720 does the IQ test do well? It depends on the 255 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:56.600 field you're in. So Simsy a Bondie or beyondy was 256 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:02.519 a biomedical engineer, went into business as a business astrologer. 257 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:10.480 When were you born? Huh? How about a graphologist? 258 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.559 Your handwriting indicates whether or not you are a good fit. 259 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.279 Now you can have the skills, that is sort of 260 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.639 a given. You can check up on that, but you know, 261 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:23.720 do you fit? Let's look at your handwriting, right? Is 262 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:27.840 it big and bold? Is it a little tiny? Does 263 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:30.279 that mean that you are going to work with other people? 264 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.519 I know that's a stretch, but you know companies are 265 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.639 jumping in on that because they're trying to figure out 266 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.840 a way to make sure that the fit works. And 267 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:44.799 by the way, the fit is very important. I mean 268 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:49.120 case in point, the Morning Show. If the fit didn't work, 269 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.480 if we didn't work well together, if we didn't like 270 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:59.000 each other, CONO accepted, we would not have as good 271 00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.480 a show. 272 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.240 Yeah, I did say that as good as show. 273 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.839 So now I'm going to share my story with you. Okay, 274 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.319 with personality tests. One of the things about iHeart is 275 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.359 that whenever there's a job opening, it must be posted 276 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:20.039 and they have to look internally first and then if 277 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:25.160 it doesn't work out, they go outside. So morning show 278 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.160 hosts position opened up, and they went through the I 279 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.480 wasn't working there yet or I wasn't working here yet, 280 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.920 and so they had to post, which they did, and 281 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.119 it's pretty it's a pretty good gig, I mean, morning 282 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.759 host of the number one talk station in the country, 283 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.400 and it is I mean, we're kind of an outlier station. 284 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.880 And then the applications from the outside started. People had 285 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:56.319 previous experience, People sent in tapes and I was one 286 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.279 of the people that was interviewed and I was given 287 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:04.680 a personality test and you fill out all these forms 288 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.240 personality tests that you're really hard to fail because they 289 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.359 asked the same question six different ways and six different times, 290 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.680 and you got to sort of tell the truth because 291 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:16.279 they'll catch you and lie the test itself. So there 292 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:19.920 I am with the program director who is looking at 293 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:26.640 what the personality. Personality test said about me the results, 294 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:34.359 and he said, you know, everything here says that you're 295 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.000 not going to really get along with people, and you're 296 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:36.759 real a hole. 297 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.519 And I went, yeah, when can you start? 298 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.920 And here I am, ladies and gentlemen, the host of 299 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:51.440 the bill handle show Man. 300 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.480 Those things are accurate case in point. 301 00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:00.599 Unfortunately, I don't know who of us would actually pass 302 00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:02.799 a personality test. I mean, I don't know how that 303 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.640 works in terms of fit, but it does. All right, 304 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.200 let me move over before we get to Foody Friday 305 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.599 with Neil a story that I looked at. 306 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.000 When oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah. I'm in the 307 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.640 middle of that one. Scoring a fake ID. It's sort 308 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.960 of a passage. 309 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:25.160 Of youth, including my kids partiers, because you don't join 310 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.400 a bar. You want to go to a bar, have 311 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:29.480 a good time. You're seventeen, eighteen, nineteen years old and 312 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:31.880 you got to be twenty one. So what do people do. 313 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.480 They buy IDs? That's what they do. They buy IDs. 314 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.799 And it used to be pretty easy to fake an 315 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:42.799 ID for a couple of reasons. First of all, a 316 00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:46.000 bouncer at a bar, well just it's dark, looks at 317 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.039 the ID, looks at the picture, sort of kind of 318 00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.279 looks like you doesn't care well. The rules have gotten 319 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.359 really tight, and underage people in the bar is a 320 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:57.039 big hit for a bar. So now they're being more 321 00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:03.519 careful and it's easier to see who has a fake IDA. 322 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:06.200 It used to be fake id's somebody in the dorm 323 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.440 made them, or some somebody made them in a garage, 324 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:14.400 usually some young person. Today it is a serious counterfeitter 325 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:22.680 because you've got holograms, barcodes, laser engraving, you've got electronic 326 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.599 scanners that bars now use. 327 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:29.880 Not so easy. So what do you do? Well? 328 00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:36.000 The fakes have to be created with sophisticated equipment and materials, 329 00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.759 and Neil can talk all about that, not that he 330 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:43.079 does fake IDs, but works with the kinds of sophisticated 331 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.200 materials that I'm discussing here. So, Neil, if you were 332 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.960 to have to make a fake ID that would pass muster, 333 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:51.359 how difficult is that? 334 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:54.440 It's pretty difficult. 335 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.559 You would need you know, you can get laser engravers 336 00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:01.000 and stuff like that from China for any that are inexpensive, 337 00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:04.799 but you need a handful of items. 338 00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:11.559 Whereas before you could use a you could use a. 339 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:14.839 Black pencil, colored pencil and a razor blade back in 340 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.880 the day, and you could forge them. That you remember 341 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.039 when they used to shine flashlights behind them. That was 342 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:25.039 to see the cut lines because people would replace photos 343 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.920 with someone else's photo. Nowadays, you need to be able 344 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:31.000 to read and write a magnetic strip on the back. 345 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.559 You need to be able to read and write that 346 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.440 barcode you talked about, and do the holograms. 347 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.519 I have everything here to do it. 348 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:42.680 I could absolutely, I know you could probably pull it off. 349 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.119 And considering what they pay here, I'm not going to 350 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.119 say you do do it, but I'm just going to 351 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:47.799 say it's. 352 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:50.000 A nice city. On Alvarado Street. 353 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.319 Yeah, that's where you get them down to MacArthur Park. 354 00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:56.680 But you know, I mean there's micro printing data chips there. 355 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:01.000 As you said, ultraviolet features. It's almost like counterfeit money. 356 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:06.079 That's so difficult to print. So just a quick by story, 357 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:09.680 I'm going to just spin it off into a KFI. 358 00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.160 Premier Radio story. 359 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:18.799 I'm syndicated by Premier Radio. Neil was syndicated by Premier Radio. 360 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:23.799 So one time Rush Limbaugh was on vacation and I 361 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.240 was asked to fill in for him on his national show, 362 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.480 and I lasted two days and I'll tell you why, 363 00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.240 because of a. 364 00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:33.000 Story like this. 365 00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.319 So remember Jenna and Barbara Bush, the twins George W. 366 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.920 Bush's daughters got picked up in Texas entering a bar 367 00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:44.440 with fake ID. 368 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.480 They weren't twenty one. 369 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.480 And I talked about that on the air, and I 370 00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:55.160 said that this is what makes America so great because 371 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.559 they were picked up, they were prosecuted like anybody else. 372 00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.440 And if the sheriff had even called up. 373 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.799 Or the local authorities had called up the President of 374 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:11.279 the United States about his daughters, or the president called him, 375 00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:14.079 he would have said them, as President, unfortunately, that's not 376 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.400 your jurisdiction, and we're gonna treat your daughters the same 377 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:17.240 as anybody else. 378 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.759 Of course, George W. Would never do that. 379 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.480 And I said, this really is America great because can 380 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:27.279 you imagine the daughter of the president of Columbia, for example, 381 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:33.000 getting arrested, being charged and. 382 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.400 Going through the system. 383 00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.599 That person would be killed, I mean instantly, the person 384 00:23:39.640 --> 00:23:40.519 would die. 385 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.440 And so I. 386 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.599 Said that, and I said, this is what makes America 387 00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.680 so great because the law really does treat people for 388 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.880 the most part the same. No one is above the law, 389 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:54.920 and not the president's daughter, daughters, not the guy on 390 00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:58.519 this street who commits a crime. Well, and there were 391 00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:01.920 phone calls because that's what Rushing did. I don't know 392 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:05.000 how many phone calls I got emails, I mean in 393 00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:10.039 the thousands that came in handles a wild, wild ass liberal. 394 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.640 He's just saying that because George W. Bush is a 395 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.920 Republican and that's the only reason the authorities went after 396 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:20.720 his daughters, because they're Republicans. And I came back with, well, 397 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.200 how about Billy Carter, you know who got nailed, or 398 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.880 Bill Clinton's step brother who got nailed. 399 00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:31.039 You're just a wild ass liberal. 400 00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.839 That's all we care about. That's my story of false IDs. 401 00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:38.480
