I'm in the move for food. Oh very good, kno
like it?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
All right, Morning show, last hour to go Foody Friday
for the next half hour, and then at the bottom
of the hour it's ask Handle anything where For the
most part, I get humiliated with your questions. Good stuff
to say the least. Tomorrow afternoon from two to five o'clock,
Neil is broadcasting from the Museum of the Oscar Academy
(00:40):
Awards do you whatever they.
Speaker 4 (00:42):

motion pictures, blah blah blah, and it's.
Speaker 1 (00:51):

Speaker 3 (00:53):
They're always found.
Speaker 4 (00:54):

Speaker 1 (00:59):
We'll be having some cocktails. It'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah, cocktails in the afternoon.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Neil, by the way, is a falling around drunk, so
you'll enjoy that. All right, let's do it down Foody
Friday with Neil. Okay, this is Neil comes up with
these topics and because this is what he wants to
talk about, and that's sort of his wheelhouse. These segments
a one dollar egg McMuffin. Now, let me get this straight.
(01:27):
The one dollar is a down payment and they help
arrange financing for the rest.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You know what's funny is all the stories are fast
food related, but they show trends and kind of interweave
with everything going on. This one happens to intersect with
the cost of eggs right now. So you know, right now,
McDonald's going to be celebrating their fifty year anniversary of
the egg McMuffin, which is coming up in March. So
(01:55):
from Sunday, March third to March thirtieth, you can grab
a buy one, get one sausage McMuffin with egg you know,
the check their website and their app and all these things.
But you know, an egg sandwich typically costs around seven
bucks or something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know these are gonna be one buck for National.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Now, that's assuming you buy one and you get the
next one for a dollar, right, or just walk in
and buy them for a dollar.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well, McDonald this is this particular one dollar muffin for
National Egg McMuffin Day will be exclusively available through the
McDonald's app on such.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Of course, right, so you give them, you give them
your email address, and then you are bombarded with fifty
offers a day.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's why I.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Don't even get a one dollar egg mcmuffy. You don't
see upside of this, but I do.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh no, I can see that. I mean, it's all right.
Two questions. Number one, what is an a uh the
egg McMuffin costs normally?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What is their price?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Well, that's a good question, I'd say nowadays they're pretty
up there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
They've got to be like, yeah, we can look it up.
I don't know where he is.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And here's another one that you may or may not know.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
When the egg McMuffin first came out fifty years ago,
how much was it?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Amy, you have to look that up.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I don't expecting you old to uh know that original
price of the egg McMuffin fifty years ago. Do doo
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo do
do do do do?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, sixty three cents.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Sixty three cents okay, And today the egg McMuffin is
five three refrace. Okay really yeah, yeah, it's you know,
fast food is insanely expensive. The only place that is
still reasonably priced is in and Out Burger.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You get a cheeseburger and fries and medium drink for
including tax nine fifty seven. The other day I did that,
and if you do a double double it's I think
eleven bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's good price.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, they continue to keep prices.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, they do espe crazy the freshness and the quality
of the ingredients in and out, but they you know,
they're controlled, their family owned, and their focus Lindsey Snyder
there is focused on keeping those things together and dancing
to dance, dance, dance.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Gee.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I was just talking to someone, a guy yesterday who
is training my dogs. We went to a dog trainer
because one of my dogs has a tendency of jumping
up on my head when I'm laying down and peeing
all over me. So we have to deal with this.
And he worked at he said he worked at in
(04:52):
Autberger for fourteen years. And I said, it looks like
everybody works pretty hard. And he said they we as
in when he was work there, run for the whole shift,
I mean, work their asses off in the meantime, managers
make north of one hundred thousand dollars virtually.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No, they get paid well, really well, really well.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And they move you up if you're if you want
to come in and work hard, they move you up
very quickly. There's nobody dragging around. Would you like fries
with that or anything?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You know, when they move you up, is it going?
Is a question? Going down the line.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
First you start peeling the potatoes, and then you're put
at the machine that cuts the potatoes, and you're going
over to the fry station.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And then and you're promoted that way right to left
like Hebrew, right to left.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You're being you're being a smart ass. But that might
be the case.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It could be. Okay, as I said, we're going to
talk about another boy. This is a really great price
after the one dollar egg McMuffin. That's worth listening to.
You can listen to us on demand and get the
information about that subway bringing back the six dollars and
ninety nine cent foot long and that's any foot long
(06:09):
and they have some foot longs that have pretty pricey ingredients.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Oh yeah, can you have meatballs and chicken and all
kinds of stuff? Now we grew up, you know, remembering
the five dollars foot long. This is not bad, but
it's not bad when you consider most of their sandwiches
started about ten bucks and go up from there. I told,
I said this on the program a week or so
ago that I went to Subway with my boy and
(06:36):
my wife. We got three foot long sandwiches, two potato chips,
and one soda for me, and it was forty four
forty six dollars something like that. I mean, that's insane, right,
I love Subway. I enjoy Subway, and you know, so
no big deal there, but everything's getting pricey, the costs
(06:59):
are going up. But today, February twenty eighth marks the
return of Subway's beloved promotional deal, the six ninety nine
for any foot long. I think it was back in
the summer last summer.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That they ran this.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So you can enjoy any of your favorites meatball Marnara
or the cold cut combo, along with the dozens of
their chef crafted Subway sandwiches.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
And.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You know, pay less because like I said, they start
at ten bucks, most of them are between thirteen and
fifteen dollars.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, and when you think about it, because very few
people can eat an entire foot long.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I mean it's a big sandwich. Of course, you can
pack two away.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And yeah, so you've got a foot long, right, which
is about twelve inches.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's about a foot right, Do I have that right?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, that's what they say. Okay on the street. Okay,
So with that, there was a.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Lawsuit about that, by the way, where yeah, woman came
in and said these aren't a foot long, they're eleven
and a half inches, and that's the ones we bought,
and she took a picture of it, and the judge
just threw that right out the door. He said, give
me a break. You have different sizes of the bread.
It's approximately works. Goodbye, I'll see you later. So the
(08:16):
foot long, most people can't eat an entire foot long,
So you take half of it home and now you
are three point fifty a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And I've never seen you this excited before.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm pretty excited. Well, here's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
As I told you, Neil and I go out occasionally
and we eat together. And on Thursday, we have an
event that Neil and I are going to and there's
gonna be four or five other people there, and we're
going to an Italian restaurant. You didn't know that, Neil,
And I'm taking all you guys to an Italian restaurant
and it's probably going to cost Now, this is a
(08:52):
moderately priced lunch menu Italian restaurant, and it's going to
cost every bit of thirty five dollars. Say had thirty
thirty five dollars ahead. I mean, there's just no way
around it that.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, And of course not.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But you ever notice when I pay, I do I
reach into my wallet and very slowly take out my
credit card.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I mean just millimeters at a.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Time, hoping, hoping that someone puts the card down on
a table and says, well, let's pay, let's split it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Nothing, I get crickets.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's not the problem. The thing that embarrasses me is
the way you continue to hold on to it when
the server tries to take it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, that's the part, the struggle, the back and forth,
and the that's a little rough.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah. And then the what I hate at restaurants is
the phony. Hi, my name is Wendy, and I'll be
serving you today. And I say you see that one
more time, or you smile your tip goes under four percent.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's I just want to be roughed alone. Yeah, what
do you want?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Joy?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
No, I want to make sure people get the code
for this. The promotional cold for that six dollars ninety
nine foot long deal at subway today is six nine
FL six nine nine FL. That's six ninety nine foot long,
and I suppose six nine nine fl on the subway app.
(10:17):
And they also had some more exclusive savings and rewards
there too. Check everything out at subway dot com. I'm
probably gonna take advantage of this today. I like a
good subway sandwich.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is there any offer now from fast food or any
provider of food that the only way you can get
it is to go to the app or sign up
for their website so they can bomb bars you with marketing.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
There's one recently. I'm trying to figure out where it was.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
It's killing me now, but there was one recently that
you didn't need anything, you just simply went in there
and and asked for it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There used to be at McDonald's. I remember the Dodgers
being in the World Series. I mean this was a
million years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And if someone hit a home run right, you'd come
in and get a.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Free order of fries if one of the dodgers you know, elder,
would you.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Still do that?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
They for different things?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah and so, and just walk in and you can
grab it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You just which is terrific to download the app to
get it. Well, that's my point, Amy, is do you
have to download the app and give them your social
address in order to get anything today?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Just a little something, just to just give them a
little something.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You know the trick. You know what the trick is.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And I haven't done this. Get a fake uh, a
fake website, take advantage.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Of whatever one that you don't care much about.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, because I get emails and I don't give my
emails out. I do not because I don't want to
be bombarded. Forget I don't forget about the privacy part
of it.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's high. Can I have your email?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
No, you can't. Well you get a disco if you
give it to me.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, No, you can give this for free and offer
me one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You're not getting my email.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Make up a real crude one at gmail dot com.
That's what people ask. Give them that one.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's what I'm gonna do. All right, let's finish up
with Jack in the Box. I have not been to
Jack in the Box in decades. As you told me,
those are for pot smokers late at night.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I like Jack in the Box.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I don't eat it much either, but I do enjoy
it when I when I do get a chance to.
The thing is they're kind of going up against McDonald's
for Saint Patrick's Day. When we think of the McDonald's
Day mint, the mint shake there, we think that shamrock
shake being McDonald's territory. Well, to get into the spirit
(12:45):
for Saint Patrick's Day, Jack in the Box has brought
back its fan favorite Oriole mint shake uh and uh
and others. So they've got the mint twisted soda sprite,
they have the Oriole mint Shake and the Oriol Mint
mocha sweet cream ice coffee that they're bringing in.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Wow to the mix that doesn't sound cloying and sweet
to the point where all right, we're coming.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Back to that, but now through April plays last.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, you can have your teeth can come out too,
and you want to finish that off with a mountain dew,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
As we end the show and the new new newer,
I'm gonna start stop saying new h in a little bit,
and it's ask handle anything. And I just have a
great time with it because I usually get embarrassed. And
the way it works is people that are interested in
asking me questions because.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It came from what's Bill like?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
What's Neil like?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Is John coleblt you know that much of a dick?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And the answer is yes, John doesn't listen to the
show anyway, so it doesn't matter in any case.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Tim Conway, is he that crazy? Yes?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He is. Okay, so it's ask handle anything. I'll tell
you how it works on Monday. Physically outworks, but let's
go for it. Questions are recorded by you folks and
radio Land, and then Neil and Anne choose which ones that.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Are gonna be played. Okay, so here we go. I
hear them for the first time.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now, Cono, hey handle Since there's no kids involved, why
are you getting married?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Simple?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Uh? You know what?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Because I just got really tired of Lindsey begging and
whining and pleading no please, poase?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So guys were married. Would she still get money if
you kicked it?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
She may not get money if I kick it anyway,
but don't tell her that. Don't tell her that okay.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Next, Hey, handle, you told a story a while back,
and I've only heard you tell it once about your daughter,
and I think she was on a bus with her
best friend and the bus had an accident and her
friend died.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
My question is, if.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
It's not too personal, is this the same daughter that
also suffers from night terrors?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
No? Number one, that isn't. Second of all, it's my daughter, Pamela,
who was in a boarding school. And the story even
gets more weird than that. So there were two buses
from this all girls school, and one bus one one
of those big fifteen foot you know what do you
call it? Fifteen foot cars trucks, and everybody piled in,
(15:40):
and then there was an suv and she got in.
She was in the suv and then forgot her backpack,
went back inside the school to grab her backpack, and
her seat was taken by her best friend there, And
so the two vehicles are going down the road. The
(16:01):
SCUV loses control, flips over. Her friend who was sitting
in Pamela's seat, is ejected out and is killed instantly.
And it was happened right in front of her. It
was October. It was October seventeenth. I don't know how
many years ago. So I mean, that's the story. It's
a tough story.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And for many years.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I mean, this happened I don't know twelve years ago,
and for a bunch of years. October seventeenth was a
very rough day. And then of course the Russian Revolution
happened October seventeenth, so you know, things got better as
soon as I told her about that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Okay, do we take an early break? Listen?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, tell you ask handle anything. I'm being very honest
about this stuff. You know, I'm laying it all out
just I don't know why, all right, Kno, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Hi, Bill, I know you love musical theater.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I'm curious if you were to fall in love with
any female lead from any musical who would it be.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Well, first of all, you let me let me correct you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
If I were to fall in love with any male
musical theater star, which I have a couple of times
and have unfortunately been told not interested. You know what,
I really don't know the names of people like I
don't know the names of stars or anything. So you
know who would I you know, Fanny Bryce, I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Know with.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
What's her face who played Fanny Bryce already I've forgotten
all right anyway, Okay, I didn't crickets on that one. Yes,
thank you, Barbara Streisan, thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
What about Phantom or the Opera?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, I don't know anybody who's had been in it?
Are you high?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The male lead is, oh David Gaines. Yeah, Oh that's
the male lead.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah. I've known Davis for a million years.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yes, but you have had a bromance for a long time.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, you've been.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Crushing on him forever.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No, No, I was talking about female leads, of course. Yes,
I have had a romance with Davis for a very
long time. Best Fano. He was the best fanom that
ever was, and there have been dozens of them. Okay,
more Bill.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm Kevin, I'm eleven, and I'm from Laquinta, and I
want to know what your favorite type of bagel is.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh, very good question. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
We break it down into uh, I have actually two
favorite bagels, and we break it down into defining bagels,
which we always have whenever I do an event pastathon,
we have but bagels in the morning, purists, true bagel lovers.
It's a water bagel, plain bagel. That is the bagel
(18:56):
that is the king of true blue jew bagels. One down,
which is my favorite, is onion bagel. An onion bagel
is pretty close, and the other one is the egg bagel.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
After that, it's all crap.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Blueberry bagels, strawberry bagels, everything bagels those aren't bagels, and
store bought bagels, the ones you get the supermarket, those
aren't bagels.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That's bread in the shape of bagels.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Hey, I just have a million dollar idea right now,
Zelman's onion bagels.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Ooh with you can enjoy the bagel and not have
bad breath exactly. So anyway, that's the story of the bagels.
Good question, by the way, eleven years old, I mean
who they all at eleven? Listens to this show?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Next question, Bill, What was the first rock concert you
ever attended? Just curious?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, I will tell you. Are you ready for this?
It was the Supremes.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
At doc That's that's rock.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I've only been to a.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Couple of them Supremes, I went to a couple of
other ones. My favorite one was the Old Cella that
I went to. Well, yeah, well I don't what is rock?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Then? Okay, no, no, that's that. Don't listen to that.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But uh's okay. But I didn't go to a zep.
I've only gone to two or three of them. Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Then uh And the first one was the Supreams.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I that was it? I was was this?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The singer, the lead singer of the Supremes, A Black.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Oh, nicely said thank you? Well you said.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yesterday?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you? All right?
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Moving on, Hey, Bill, when you divorced Marjorie, how much
of your net worth did you lose?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Wow, it's a personal question. God, you know what. We
have to keep those to a minimum. The money pot Yeah,
I know, I know. Okay, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's a community property state, and so how about half, which,
by the way, I don't regret.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I don't regret.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I truly believe that we live in a community proper
state estate, and the spouse does deserve half of everything
because that's just the way it works.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So Marjorie deserves more than half.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
She does way more than half. But anyway, yes, spend
time with you.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Yes, moving on, Good morning, Bill. What happened to your podcasts?
I found them moderately interesting that you should continue with those.
This is good to your ass, bill anything. How did
you transition from contractor to radio personality?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh okay, all right, we start with that first question,
which I completely forgot.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What was asked podcast?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Podcast? It turned out to be frankly too much work.
I you know, I do this show.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I met the end reasonably at the end of a career,
and I wasn't interested in working that hard. To do
a podcast is a lot of work. And the way
I transferred into radio it wasn't from contracting. It was
from practicing law. And it's a story I like to share.
(22:33):
It was because of my surrogacy specialty, and surrogacy blew
up in the early eighties and I was only one
of two lawyers in the country that was practicing this
kind of law. Obviously very early days. So I was
interviewed over and over again on an unidentified radio station KBC,
and the program director stopped me in the hall one
(22:56):
day and he was talking about my interviews and said,
you know, I got to tell you, your interviews are terrific.
I mean, you're better than half the people I have here.
And I said, no, I'm not, I'm better than all
the people you have here.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Job offer.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
There you go, that's how I get fired you. Oh, yeah,
they ended up firing me. Yeah, they ended up firing me.
That's the only time in radio I've ever been fired.
I only worked the two stations my entire life. And
I came to KFI the day it flipped from an
all banned big band station to a talk station. And
(23:37):
that was nineteen eighty nine. If you can believe that, all.
Speaker 1 (23:41):

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Neil, by the way, is a falling around drunk, so
you'll enjoy that. All right, let's do it down Foody
Friday with Neil. Okay, this is Neil comes up with
these topics and because this is what he wants to
talk about, and that's sort of his wheelhouse. These segments
a one dollar egg McMuffin. Now, let me get this straight.
(01:27):
The one dollar is a down payment and they help
arrange financing for the rest.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
You know what's funny is all the stories are fast
food related, but they show trends and kind of interweave
with everything going on. This one happens to intersect with
the cost of eggs right now. So you know, right now,
McDonald's going to be celebrating their fifty year anniversary of
the egg McMuffin, which is coming up in March. So
(01:55):
from Sunday, March third to March thirtieth, you can grab
a buy one, get one sausage McMuffin with egg you know,
the check their website and their app and all these things.
But you know, an egg sandwich typically costs around seven
bucks or something like that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You know these are gonna be one buck for National.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Now, that's assuming you buy one and you get the
next one for a dollar, right, or just walk in
and buy them for a dollar.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Well, McDonald this is this particular one dollar muffin for
National Egg McMuffin Day will be exclusively available through the
McDonald's app on such.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Of course, right, so you give them, you give them
your email address, and then you are bombarded with fifty
offers a day.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's why I.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Don't even get a one dollar egg mcmuffy. You don't
see upside of this, but I do.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh no, I can see that. I mean, it's all right.
Two questions. Number one, what is an a uh the
egg McMuffin costs normally?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
What is their price?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Well, that's a good question, I'd say nowadays they're pretty
up there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
They've got to be like, yeah, we can look it up.
I don't know where he is.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And here's another one that you may or may not know.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Probably not.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
When the egg McMuffin first came out fifty years ago,
how much was it?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Amy, you have to look that up.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I don't expecting you old to uh know that original
price of the egg McMuffin fifty years ago. Do doo
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo do
do do do do?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, sixty three cents.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Sixty three cents okay, And today the egg McMuffin is
five three refrace. Okay really yeah, yeah, it's you know,
fast food is insanely expensive. The only place that is
still reasonably priced is in and Out Burger.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
You get a cheeseburger and fries and medium drink for
including tax nine fifty seven. The other day I did that,
and if you do a double double it's I think
eleven bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
It's good price.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yeah, they continue to keep prices.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, they do espe crazy the freshness and the quality
of the ingredients in and out, but they you know,
they're controlled, their family owned, and their focus Lindsey Snyder
there is focused on keeping those things together and dancing
to dance, dance, dance.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Gee.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I was just talking to someone, a guy yesterday who
is training my dogs. We went to a dog trainer
because one of my dogs has a tendency of jumping
up on my head when I'm laying down and peeing
all over me. So we have to deal with this.
And he worked at he said he worked at in
(04:52):
Autberger for fourteen years. And I said, it looks like
everybody works pretty hard. And he said they we as
in when he was work there, run for the whole shift,
I mean, work their asses off in the meantime, managers
make north of one hundred thousand dollars virtually.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
No, they get paid well, really well, really well.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And they move you up if you're if you want
to come in and work hard, they move you up
very quickly. There's nobody dragging around. Would you like fries
with that or anything?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
You know, when they move you up, is it going?
Is a question? Going down the line.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
First you start peeling the potatoes, and then you're put
at the machine that cuts the potatoes, and you're going
over to the fry station.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And then and you're promoted that way right to left
like Hebrew, right to left.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
You're being you're being a smart ass. But that might
be the case.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It could be. Okay, as I said, we're going to
talk about another boy. This is a really great price
after the one dollar egg McMuffin. That's worth listening to.
You can listen to us on demand and get the
information about that subway bringing back the six dollars and
ninety nine cent foot long and that's any foot long
(06:09):
and they have some foot longs that have pretty pricey ingredients.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Oh yeah, can you have meatballs and chicken and all
kinds of stuff? Now we grew up, you know, remembering
the five dollars foot long. This is not bad, but
it's not bad when you consider most of their sandwiches
started about ten bucks and go up from there. I told,
I said this on the program a week or so
ago that I went to Subway with my boy and
(06:36):
my wife. We got three foot long sandwiches, two potato chips,
and one soda for me, and it was forty four
forty six dollars something like that. I mean, that's insane, right,
I love Subway. I enjoy Subway, and you know, so
no big deal there, but everything's getting pricey, the costs
(06:59):
are going up. But today, February twenty eighth marks the
return of Subway's beloved promotional deal, the six ninety nine
for any foot long. I think it was back in
the summer last summer.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That they ran this.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
So you can enjoy any of your favorites meatball Marnara
or the cold cut combo, along with the dozens of
their chef crafted Subway sandwiches.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
And.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You know, pay less because like I said, they start
at ten bucks, most of them are between thirteen and
fifteen dollars.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, and when you think about it, because very few
people can eat an entire foot long.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I mean it's a big sandwich. Of course, you can
pack two away.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And yeah, so you've got a foot long, right, which
is about twelve inches.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's about a foot right, Do I have that right?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, that's what they say. Okay on the street. Okay,
So with that, there was a.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Lawsuit about that, by the way, where yeah, woman came
in and said these aren't a foot long, they're eleven
and a half inches, and that's the ones we bought,
and she took a picture of it, and the judge
just threw that right out the door. He said, give
me a break. You have different sizes of the bread.
It's approximately works. Goodbye, I'll see you later. So the
(08:16):
foot long, most people can't eat an entire foot long,
So you take half of it home and now you
are three point fifty a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
And I've never seen you this excited before.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm pretty excited. Well, here's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
As I told you, Neil and I go out occasionally
and we eat together. And on Thursday, we have an
event that Neil and I are going to and there's
gonna be four or five other people there, and we're
going to an Italian restaurant. You didn't know that, Neil,
And I'm taking all you guys to an Italian restaurant
and it's probably going to cost Now, this is a
(08:52):
moderately priced lunch menu Italian restaurant, and it's going to
cost every bit of thirty five dollars. Say had thirty
thirty five dollars ahead. I mean, there's just no way
around it that.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Yeah, And of course not.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But you ever notice when I pay, I do I
reach into my wallet and very slowly take out my
credit card.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I mean just millimeters at a.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Time, hoping, hoping that someone puts the card down on
a table and says, well, let's pay, let's split it.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Nothing, I get crickets.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
That's not the problem. The thing that embarrasses me is
the way you continue to hold on to it when
the server tries to take it.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, that's the part, the struggle, the back and forth,
and the that's a little rough.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah. And then the what I hate at restaurants is
the phony. Hi, my name is Wendy, and I'll be
serving you today. And I say you see that one
more time, or you smile your tip goes under four percent.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
It's I just want to be roughed alone. Yeah, what
do you want?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Joy?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
No, I want to make sure people get the code
for this. The promotional cold for that six dollars ninety
nine foot long deal at subway today is six nine
FL six nine nine FL. That's six ninety nine foot long,
and I suppose six nine nine fl on the subway app.
(10:17):
And they also had some more exclusive savings and rewards
there too. Check everything out at subway dot com. I'm
probably gonna take advantage of this today. I like a
good subway sandwich.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Is there any offer now from fast food or any
provider of food that the only way you can get
it is to go to the app or sign up
for their website so they can bomb bars you with marketing.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
There's one recently. I'm trying to figure out where it was.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
It's killing me now, but there was one recently that
you didn't need anything, you just simply went in there
and and asked for it.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There used to be at McDonald's. I remember the Dodgers
being in the World Series. I mean this was a
million years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And if someone hit a home run right, you'd come
in and get a.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Free order of fries if one of the dodgers you know, elder,
would you.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Still do that?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
They for different things?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah and so, and just walk in and you can
grab it.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
You just which is terrific to download the app to
get it. Well, that's my point, Amy, is do you
have to download the app and give them your social
address in order to get anything today?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Just a little something, just to just give them a
little something.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
You know the trick. You know what the trick is.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
And I haven't done this. Get a fake uh, a
fake website, take advantage.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Of whatever one that you don't care much about.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, because I get emails and I don't give my
emails out. I do not because I don't want to
be bombarded. Forget I don't forget about the privacy part
of it.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's high. Can I have your email?
Speaker 6 (11:56):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
No, you can't. Well you get a disco if you
give it to me.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
No, No, you can give this for free and offer
me one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You're not getting my email.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Make up a real crude one at gmail dot com.
That's what people ask. Give them that one.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's what I'm gonna do. All right, let's finish up
with Jack in the Box. I have not been to
Jack in the Box in decades. As you told me,
those are for pot smokers late at night.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I like Jack in the Box.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
I don't eat it much either, but I do enjoy
it when I when I do get a chance to.
The thing is they're kind of going up against McDonald's
for Saint Patrick's Day. When we think of the McDonald's
Day mint, the mint shake there, we think that shamrock
shake being McDonald's territory. Well, to get into the spirit
(12:45):
for Saint Patrick's Day, Jack in the Box has brought
back its fan favorite Oriole mint shake uh and uh
and others. So they've got the mint twisted soda sprite,
they have the Oriole mint Shake and the Oriol Mint
mocha sweet cream ice coffee that they're bringing in.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Wow to the mix that doesn't sound cloying and sweet
to the point where all right, we're coming.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Back to that, but now through April plays last.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, you can have your teeth can come out too,
and you want to finish that off with a mountain dew,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
As we end the show and the new new newer,
I'm gonna start stop saying new h in a little bit,
and it's ask handle anything. And I just have a
great time with it because I usually get embarrassed. And
the way it works is people that are interested in
asking me questions because.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
It came from what's Bill like?
Speaker 2 (13:41):
What's Neil like?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Is John coleblt you know that much of a dick?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
And the answer is yes, John doesn't listen to the
show anyway, so it doesn't matter in any case.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Tim Conway, is he that crazy? Yes?
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He is. Okay, so it's ask handle anything. I'll tell
you how it works on Monday. Physically outworks, but let's
go for it. Questions are recorded by you folks and
radio Land, and then Neil and Anne choose which ones that.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Are gonna be played. Okay, so here we go. I
hear them for the first time.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now, Cono, hey handle Since there's no kids involved, why
are you getting married?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Simple?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Uh? You know what?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Because I just got really tired of Lindsey begging and
whining and pleading no please, poase?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
So guys were married. Would she still get money if
you kicked it?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
She may not get money if I kick it anyway,
but don't tell her that. Don't tell her that okay.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Next, Hey, handle, you told a story a while back,
and I've only heard you tell it once about your daughter,
and I think she was on a bus with her
best friend and the bus had an accident and her
friend died.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
My question is, if.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
It's not too personal, is this the same daughter that
also suffers from night terrors?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
No? Number one, that isn't. Second of all, it's my daughter, Pamela,
who was in a boarding school. And the story even
gets more weird than that. So there were two buses
from this all girls school, and one bus one one
of those big fifteen foot you know what do you
call it? Fifteen foot cars trucks, and everybody piled in,
(15:40):
and then there was an suv and she got in.
She was in the suv and then forgot her backpack,
went back inside the school to grab her backpack, and
her seat was taken by her best friend there, And
so the two vehicles are going down the road. The
(16:01):
SCUV loses control, flips over. Her friend who was sitting
in Pamela's seat, is ejected out and is killed instantly.
And it was happened right in front of her. It
was October. It was October seventeenth. I don't know how
many years ago. So I mean, that's the story. It's
a tough story.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And for many years.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I mean, this happened I don't know twelve years ago,
and for a bunch of years. October seventeenth was a
very rough day. And then of course the Russian Revolution
happened October seventeenth, so you know, things got better as
soon as I told her about that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Okay, do we take an early break? Listen?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, tell you ask handle anything. I'm being very honest
about this stuff. You know, I'm laying it all out
just I don't know why, all right, Kno, let's do it.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Hi, Bill, I know you love musical theater.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I'm curious if you were to fall in love with
any female lead from any musical who would it be.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Well, first of all, you let me let me correct you.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
If I were to fall in love with any male
musical theater star, which I have a couple of times
and have unfortunately been told not interested. You know what,
I really don't know the names of people like I
don't know the names of stars or anything. So you
know who would I you know, Fanny Bryce, I don't.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Know with.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
What's her face who played Fanny Bryce already I've forgotten
all right anyway, Okay, I didn't crickets on that one. Yes,
thank you, Barbara Streisan, thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
What about Phantom or the Opera?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yeah, I don't know anybody who's had been in it?
Are you high?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
The male lead is, oh David Gaines. Yeah, Oh that's
the male lead.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah. I've known Davis for a million years.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yes, but you have had a bromance for a long time.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Yeah, you've been.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Crushing on him forever.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No, No, I was talking about female leads, of course. Yes,
I have had a romance with Davis for a very
long time. Best Fano. He was the best fanom that
ever was, and there have been dozens of them. Okay,
more Bill.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I'm Kevin, I'm eleven, and I'm from Laquinta, and I
want to know what your favorite type of bagel is.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh, very good question. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
We break it down into uh, I have actually two
favorite bagels, and we break it down into defining bagels,
which we always have whenever I do an event pastathon,
we have but bagels in the morning, purists, true bagel lovers.
It's a water bagel, plain bagel. That is the bagel
(18:56):
that is the king of true blue jew bagels. One down,
which is my favorite, is onion bagel. An onion bagel
is pretty close, and the other one is the egg bagel.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
After that, it's all crap.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Blueberry bagels, strawberry bagels, everything bagels those aren't bagels, and
store bought bagels, the ones you get the supermarket, those
aren't bagels.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
That's bread in the shape of bagels.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Hey, I just have a million dollar idea right now,
Zelman's onion bagels.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Ooh with you can enjoy the bagel and not have
bad breath exactly. So anyway, that's the story of the bagels.
Good question, by the way, eleven years old, I mean
who they all at eleven? Listens to this show?
Speaker 3 (19:44):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Next question, Bill, What was the first rock concert you
ever attended? Just curious?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yeah, I will tell you. Are you ready for this?
It was the Supremes.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
At doc That's that's rock.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I've only been to a.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Couple of them Supremes, I went to a couple of
other ones. My favorite one was the Old Cella that
I went to. Well, yeah, well I don't what is rock?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Then? Okay, no, no, that's that. Don't listen to that.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
But uh's okay. But I didn't go to a zep.
I've only gone to two or three of them. Uh.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Then uh And the first one was the Supreams.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I that was it? I was was this?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The singer, the lead singer of the Supremes, A Black.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Oh, nicely said thank you? Well you said.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yesterday?
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, yeah, okay, thank you? All right?
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Moving on, Hey, Bill, when you divorced Marjorie, how much
of your net worth did you lose?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Wow, it's a personal question. God, you know what. We
have to keep those to a minimum. The money pot Yeah,
I know, I know. Okay, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
It's a community property state, and so how about half, which,
by the way, I don't regret.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
I don't regret.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I truly believe that we live in a community proper
state estate, and the spouse does deserve half of everything
because that's just the way it works.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
So Marjorie deserves more than half.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
She does way more than half. But anyway, yes, spend
time with you.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Yes, moving on, Good morning, Bill. What happened to your podcasts?
I found them moderately interesting that you should continue with those.
This is good to your ass, bill anything. How did
you transition from contractor to radio personality?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh okay, all right, we start with that first question,
which I completely forgot.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What was asked podcast?
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Podcast? It turned out to be frankly too much work.
I you know, I do this show.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I met the end reasonably at the end of a career,
and I wasn't interested in working that hard. To do
a podcast is a lot of work. And the way
I transferred into radio it wasn't from contracting. It was
from practicing law. And it's a story I like to share.
(22:33):
It was because of my surrogacy specialty, and surrogacy blew
up in the early eighties and I was only one

the people you have here.
