  • WELL

    He used to come on flanking Rush Limbaugh’s show in the morning. I played a game called “how long can i tolerate Bill Handel” and never made it past the 30 second mark before smashing the off car OFF button. Communist @&/$*#¥!! That was a decade ago. Now I listen to each one of his segments and the Saturday show. So either Bill has mellowed out or I have. It’s nice to hear him giggle now and know he’s happy. Good job Bill.

  • Ads and the righteous gemstones are on max. 😁

    I love Amy and I love Neil but the way they present news is as if they’re reading it for the first time. And thads annoying sometimes. Or maybe it’s me and it’s hard to follow the flow . 😂 but I can also tell when Bill just wants to get it over with and tell us the story. I can hear it lol
