Do you know 35 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.879 and you may not know this, but until about three 36 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.319 years ago we KFI listeners and us saw all of 37 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.799 us involved in Pastathon. We brought enough pasta and sauce 38 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:59.480 to the table where Katerina's Club, the charity that we 39 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.280 support that feeds the kids. Now twenty five thousand meals 40 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.280 a week, had enough pasta and sauce to last for 41 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.439 the year. Wow, we did it all. Now it runs 42 00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:15.280 out in July. They have they are feeding so many 43 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.080 kids that by July they have to start buying pasta 44 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.080 and sauce. I mean, it is that successful. And that's 45 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.560 how much they need our help. So we're at a 46 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.800 million dollars. Now does that include Wendy's and Smart and 47 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:30.360 Final yet? 48 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:31.680 Have we gotten those figures? Do you know? 49 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:33.199 I don't think you know what. 50 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.080 Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna have Michelle come in at 51 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:37.719 seven o'clock. 52 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.319 Michelle's going to come in at seven. 53 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.479 O'clock and explain a little bit about Pastathon, but sort 54 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.159 of inside baseball of Pastathon. She's the one that puts 55 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.479 it all together. I mean, it happens because of Michelle. 56 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.680 If it weren't for Michelle, there would be no Pastathon. Also, 57 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.960 I think we have a video of my purchase at 58 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.919 Smart and Final of pasta and sauce that I donated, 59 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.479 which is it's a pretty impressive amount, even though afterwards 60 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:07.039 I had him put it back on the shelf because 61 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:11.080 I just did it for the video. Also, yesterday at Pastafon, 62 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:16.120 we always has have per my contract, real jew bagels. 63 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.240 It used to be they go to the store and 64 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.879 just get toasts and stuff. So I changed my contract. Legitimately. 65 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.599 I think we have that up on Instagram too, So 66 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.719 we had real jew bagels. And as I was leaving Pastafon, 67 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.560 I pointed out the bagels. I gave you a tour 68 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.719 through our bagels and that's up at at bill Handle 69 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:42.120 show on Instagram. So very excited am Michelle here. I 70 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.479 got to I have to give her some big kudos 71 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:49.599 on this. Usually since since she has left the show 72 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.319 after twenty six years, she was a producer of this show, 73 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.159 and then we had a couple of others and then 74 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.400 and came aboard, I have ignored Michelle. No, she's not 75 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.439 producing the show anymore, So I'm pretending I'm amish and 76 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:02.960 I just shun her. 77 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.560 And it does look right past her. You know, you're 78 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.080 not on the show anymore. What do I care? 79 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.719 But today at seven o'clock, Michelle is joining us and 80 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.680 explaining a little bit, a little bit about Postapon. Okay, 81 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.480 Neil is not here today, but Amy is good morning, 82 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:26.120 Good morning, Elmer is Fillian Frakono, Good morning, Elmer, good morning, 83 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.519 all right, and Neil, who is not here. Neil is 84 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.199 a little bit under the weather, which to this day, 85 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.920 I don't know what that means, because aren't we all 86 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.920 under the weather? So that nope, you get it. Yeah, yeah, 87 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.279 we step outside and we're under the weather. So I 88 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.439 don't know what that means. But Neil his medication that 89 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.800 he takes and a lot of it because as you know, 90 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.240 no I'm seriously, he talks about it all the time. 91 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:57.519 He takes my handfuls of pills because of his kidney. 92 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.920 You know, he had a kidney donation. And so he's 93 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.759 out today. Unfortunately, hopefully he's here tomorrow. We'll see, because 94 00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:10.600 I want to do foody Friday tomorrow. All right, I 95 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.800 think that we're done with all the business that's fit 96 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:14.600 to print. 97 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.680 Let's do it. It's handle on the. 98 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:23.279 News with Amy and me O'Neil lead story. Another one. 99 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:25.959 Yeah, here was a weird one. 100 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.720 You got this guy, Brian Thompson, who's CEO of United. 101 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.959 Healthcare, I mean big time. 102 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.279 Yesterday, he's walking into a hotel room in New York 103 00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.199 and Manhattan. He's at the annual conference, the annual investor conference. 104 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.560 Some guy comes up to him behind him, gun with 105 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.600 a silencer and just unloads, shooting in the head, and 106 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:51.240 down he went. 107 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.519 He was killed instantly. 108 00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.959 Now, usually there's enough crime out there, but this one, 109 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:02.519 and murders happen every day. But the CEO United Healthcare, 110 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.279 I have a question. You think he was covered insurance wise? 111 00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:16.199 Okay? My guess is yes, although I think that's a 112 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:16.720 good bet. 113 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:24.920 Okay, the razor thin edge just got even thinner. Democrats 114 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.800 have flipped the final seat in California in which the 115 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:34.240 race was still undecided. Democrat Adam Gray has beat Republican 116 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:38.839 Representative John Dwarte in a rematch for California's thirteen district 117 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.639 seat in the Central Valley. That means that Republicans will 118 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.360 have two hundred and twenty seats in the next House 119 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:52.160 and the Democrats will have two hundred and fifteen. Oh 120 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.680 and by the way, Gray beat Dwarty by less than 121 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.680 two hundred votes out of like hundreds of thousands cast. 122 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.399 Yeah, that becomes a little problematic. 123 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.360 It's supposed to show you when they say every vote 124 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:04.759 counts in certain races. 125 00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.839 That's true. The two twenty to two fifteen. 126 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.639 The difference between the two the majority the publics and 127 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.720 half five is ties for the smallest margin in the 128 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.639 history of the United States by any Congress. And it's 129 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.680 going to be really interesting for Mike Johnson, the Speaker, 130 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.240 to navigate that one as a majority as Speaker of 131 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.600 the House. I can't wait. He cannot have what he 132 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.279 can't have. I think three Republicans go to the other 133 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.720 side or vote no, and he's lost the bill. 134 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.240 And does that count the ones who are leaving the House. 135 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.480 Well, they're still leaving. Yes, well, they're leaving the House. 136 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.279 I think it's no, it will be too twenty to 137 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:47.959 two fifteen. 138 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:48.240 OK. 139 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.639 Right now it's a little bit bigger. Right now there's 140 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:54.399 only there's a six or seven. 141 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.079 Congress majority as Stephonic is leaving in walls is. 142 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.439 Yeah, And that's how that certainly doesn't help these guys. 143 00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.240 And this is a question some Republicans are not very 144 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.879 happy with, is that President Elect Trump has chosen two 145 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:16.160 Republican Congress people to be cabinet or high end level 146 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.759 officials in the US government, which means they're not Congress people. 147 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.600 For example, Matt Gates, who was supposed. 148 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:25.319 To be Attorney General. 149 00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.720 Yeah, yeah, he's gone, and he's resigned a seat. 150 00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.759 He's out of politics, although he'll probably get some senior 151 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.120 level position in the Trump administration that doesn't need confirmation, 152 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.879 and there are plenty of those. Or he's going to 153 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.519 join the Republican media crowd and he'll be on the 154 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.399 speaker circuit and he'll do just fine. 155 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.799 The Speaker of the House has spoken, and the word 156 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:56.639 is no. House Speaker Mike Johnson has rejected requests from 157 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.799 the White House to pass twenty four billion dollars in 158 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.440 additional aid for Ukraine by the end of the year. 159 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.200 Johnson says that any further assistant for Kiev will be 160 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.480 decided by President elect Trump when he takes office in January. 161 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.200 Which makes sense. 162 00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.559 You've got a new president coming in in less than 163 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:20.799 two months, and this is a Mazier presidential choice, major 164 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.080 policy issue, and it just makes a lot of sense. Now, 165 00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:31.240 what's already been okayed and voted, and there's still several 166 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:36.279 billion dollars left to distribute to Ukraine go ahead. That 167 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.960 can't be stopped or shouldn't be stopped because Congress voted 168 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:39.240 that in. 169 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:44.000 But new funding, uh huh. I completely agree with Johnson. 170 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.000 We have a new president and it's going to be 171 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.039 up to that new president to decide whether cuts are 172 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.320 are going to be made. I think there are Whether 173 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:55.879 the United States is going to leave Ukraine completely helping Ukraine, 174 00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.399 I don't think that's going to happen, and I think 175 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.159 it's just going to be a low level of support. 176 00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:06.399 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 177 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:07.360 six forty. 178 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:09.279 Handle here. 179 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.679 Oh yes, on a Thursday morning, December fifth. You know, 180 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.120 I always complain, and I'll tell you about this. I'm 181 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.200 always complaining that I lose the stories. 182 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:20.320 You know. 183 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.159 I get these stories, I mark them up, I look 184 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.039 and then I talk about them. And so I have 185 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:29.080 these stacks of stories and they're lined up, you know, 186 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.399 seven am story, seven thirty eight, twenty story, that sort 187 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.720 of thing, and I mark them and I make notes 188 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.759 on them. And so I'm looking at them and they've disappeared. 189 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.159 And I always complain about that they've disappeared, and just 190 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.159 witnessed it.

All right, Let's move on. More 222 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.320 handle on the news. Amy and Me. 223 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.679 Got a big bitcoin bump. Bitcoin hit one hundred thousand 224 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.039 dollars for the first time yesterday. It comes after President 225 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.919 elect Trump unveiled his administration picks that are seen as 226 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.879 holding keys to ushering in more crypto friendly policies. Once 227 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:50.000 he gets into office. Mainly, the big pick yesterday was 228 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.519 Paul Atkins. Trump intends to nominate him to lead the 229 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:58.720 Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates cryptocurrency. And Atkins is 230 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.679 a crypto advocate, a former SEC commissioner. He's expected to 231 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.519 regulate cryptocurrency with a lighter touch than the former gentleman 232 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:07.480 Gary Gensler. 233 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.360 Yeah, and Trump has become a fan of crypto on 234 00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:14.360 a political level. Why because his son Baron, who happens 235 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:18.559 to be really smart, gave him. That gave Trump some 236 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.480 very good political advice. And that is go after the 237 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.320 young males. And that's a democratic that yeah, young white males, 238 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.639 I might add, And part of it is crypto. They 239 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.120 buy a lot of crypto. So he came out switch 240 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:38.679 gears in favor of crypto in a big way. And 241 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:43.919 anything that Trump says is a go with a lot 242 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.919 of members of society in a big way. Trump supporters, 243 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.960 that I said, are far more engaged than I've ever 244 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:54.440 seen any political group of people get. So, you know 245 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.080 that old saying that when the president sneezes, the. 246 00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.240 Whole world gets a cold. 247 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.879 When President elect Trump sneezes, the whole world dies. 248 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.559 Because he has that kind of influence. 249 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:10.799 I hope that that's not true. 250 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:16.519 Yeah, well, I believe that certainly as a president elect. 251 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.799 I have never seen any president elect have this much power. 252 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.879 He has more power than Joe Biden does now and 253 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.279 he has not been sworn in. I mean there is 254 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:25.919 Joe Biden. 255 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.200 Is he still an Angola? 256 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.600 I don't even you know, I don't even know where 257 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:30.159 he is. 258 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:31.960 Well, he's been in Africa this week and all. 259 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:33.919 I mean, here's the here's the point. 260 00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:37.000 I keep up with the news more than most because 261 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.879 I have to, and I keep up with what's happening 262 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.320 with President elect Trump every day because I now, you know, 263 00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:47.159 I'm looking at what the future is going to bring 264 00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.759 for the next four years. I don't know where Joe 265 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:58.120 Biden is. I have no ideaah uh go figure, this. 266 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:02.120 Is just awful. Two kids are clinging for life. There's 267 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.080 been a school shooting in Oroville, which is about an 268 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.440 hour north of Sacramento. The two kids are boys, ages 269 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.919 five and six. Someone showed up and started firing at 270 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.399 the Feather River Adventist School in Oroville yesterday and then 271 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:23.360 the guy killed himself. The kids are in extremely critical condition. 272 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:28.360 Yeah, great. He don't you wish he had killed himself first? Yeah, 273 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.919 it's another school shooter. Wait, we haven't had one of 274 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:32.120 those stories in a while, have we. 275 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:36.120 That's it. That's okay, Yeah, no kidding, that's okay, that's 276 00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:36.720 great news. 277 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:43.000 Tennessee's ban may stand. The Supreme Court has listened to 278 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:51.399 arguments about whether Tennessee's ban on miners using hormones and 279 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.200 puberty blockers to do gender transitions will stand. And we're 280 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.279 not going to get the official ruling for months, but 281 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.919 court watchers are saying it appears that the Supreme Court 282 00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:06.879 will uphold the band. A majority of the conservative justices 283 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:11.519 yesterday expressed concern about intervening in a national debate over 284 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.519 whether transgender young people should have access to surgeries and treatments. 285 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.679 Okay, okay, not much as say, other than it's going 286 00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:26.360 to happen conservative court, you know, welcome to the world. 287 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.759 We've a half thirty five years of a conservative court. Okay. 288 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.799 So this story just keeps getting weirder. Hannah's family is 289 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.799 speaking out. So, Hannah Kobayashi is the woman from Hawaii 290 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:40.840 who was supposed to be going to New York. She 291 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:44.200 had a layover or a stopover at lax back on 292 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.799 November eighth. She never caught her connecting flight. She hasn't 293 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.399 been seen since like the eleventh, except that LAPD is saying, oh, 294 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.639 we saw her. She took her luggage and went across 295 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.919 the border to Mexico. And now there are reports that 296 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.759 she may have disappeared because she may have been in 297 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.320 a secret marriage, and. 298 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.240 Her family is not confirming denying. They're just saying we're 299 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.839 not confirming, denying, and all the information we have we've 300 00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:13.200 turned over to the authorities. This story is getting really bizarre. 301 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:20.240 Yeah, Amnesty internationals is Israel is committing genocide. They came 302 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.079 out and said that they had gathered sufficient evidence to 303 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:26.200 believe Israel's conduct during the war in Gaza amounts to 304 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.319 genocide against the Palestinian people. They filed a nearly three 305 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.000 hundred page report detailing evidence they've been gathering over the 306 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.680 last nine months. 307 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.160 Yeah, this is a big report. 308 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.799 A lot of people interviewed Amnesty International. It might be 309 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.640 pro Palestinian, but I don't think it makes up facts. 310 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:53.079 And they're accusing the initial Israel of straight out genocide 311 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:57.880 and violations and the View and Genocide Convention. Mass killings 312 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:05.960 civilians bodily or mental harm is given deliberately inflicting conditions 313 00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:08.960 of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction and 314 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.039 whole or in part. Now, I don't believe that they 315 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:16.319 are trying to do that. I don't believe they're targeting 316 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:21.480 Palestinian civilians. I think they're going after Hamas and if 317 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.039 Palestinian civilians get in the way, too bad, that is 318 00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:28.319 what I believe. That they're not going out of their way. 319 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.279 They are stopping aid from coming in. 320 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.160 That I believe. 321 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.079 I believe that is a war crime, specifically stopping humanitarian 322 00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.680 aid and causing or allowing starvation to happen. That I believe. 323 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:47.440 But the word genocide I think is overused because genocide 324 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:50.240 is what the Nazis did, Genocide is what the Turks 325 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.759 did in Armenia. And as for the purpose of wiping 326 00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:57.400 out a people, that is not happening. 327 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.440 Okay, we're done at least the segment. 328 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:08.880 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM. 329 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.279 Six forty elmer. 330 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.160 How does that song connect to the story. I don't 331 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.359 quite get it. Maybe I'm missing something, Oh it didn't, Okay, 332 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.279 just usually the music coming in connects to the story. 333 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.759 This one is just Billy Joel singing piano. Man rich 334 00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.759 Is you know, it's a great story about Billy Joel. 335 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.559 He wrote about the time he was a one of 336 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:36.519 those lounge lizard pianists and I think in a bar 337 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.000 here in North Hollywood, if I'm not mistaken, and he 338 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.640 started he was one of those guys and he would 339 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.319 write music and in the song said he's one of 340 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.000 the customers, go what are you doing here? 341 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:50.519 Was he too good? 342 00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:54.079 Yeah? That was it? Yeah, and he became Billy Joel. 343 00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:56.480 Wouldn't that be the coolest thing if you walked into 344 00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:58.799 just a little lounge and all of a sudden you 345 00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.400 hear somebody like that playing. I mean, there's good pianists 346 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.039 at those little bars and stuff. 347 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:06.839 Yeah, there are, but Billy Joel. But before you knew 348 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:09.400 who Billy Joel was at the true door. 349 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:12.799 When Elton John first came out at the Troubadoor, you know, 350 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.759 you could just walk in in his first concert, came 351 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.240 from England and he blew everybody away. There was a 352 00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.680 lot of buzz about him. John Lennon was in the audience, 353 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:24.720 I mean there was It was kind of interesting. 354 00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:28.200 I think those days are kind of gone, yeah, yeah, 355 00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:29.319 no kidding, too bad. 356 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:32.039 All right, let's move on more handle in the news 357 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.759 with Amy and me. Neil is not here today. 358 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:39.359 Well, Conan has a new leash on life. A judge 359 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:42.720 in Burbank has ruled that a dog who bit a 360 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:46.960 neighbor will not be euthanized and will be returned to 361 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:51.440 its owners with some conditions. So back in July, Conan, 362 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:54.599 who's an eight year old pitbull lab mix, apparently bit 363 00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.400 a neighbor. The owners had said that the neighbor was 364 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:01.720 provoking him. The judge said now that what happened, the 365 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:06.240 city ordered him euthanized. The owners challenged it, and the 366 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:12.640 judge ruled yesterday that Conan is vicious, but says the 367 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.519 city has not established a preponderance of evidence showing that 368 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.519 Conan is a significant threat to public health. So he 369 00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:23.920 can go back to his owners, but there are conditions, 370 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.319 like he has to wear a muzzle and a leash 371 00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:26.200 when he's out on walks. 372 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:27.400 All right, So here's a takeaway. 373 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.960 If you happen to own a pit bull and you 374 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.240 happen to be here in Burbank and it eats a neighbor, 375 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.319 and you asked the city to euthanize the dog. 376 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.680 Nope, nope, no, ig're not going to do it. 377 00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:45.759 That's kind of interesting.
