  • Technical difficulties (for months)

    Awesome show. It’s funny, informative and analytical. My only gripe is a technical aspect. Podcasts not uploaded until hours after they end. They are available on iHeart, but don't make it to Apple podcast, which is the standard format from which I I listen.

  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TV Antenna's Are Back, Apple's Big Push and Dating After 50
Q: Is there a limit to what they're going to charge for these things?
DeMuro says buyers may pay a premium for new and distinctive phones, while smartphone sales have fallen and prices have risen amid memory-chip shortages driven in part by AI demand.
TV Antenna's Are Back, Apple's Big Push and Dating After 50
Q: So what's that about?
Rich DeMuro explains that inexpensive TV antennas can receive local broadcast channels for free, and describes testing a $15 Philips rabbit-ears model that picked up nearly 100 channels.
Pope Leo XIV's Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Q: All right, Jim, going back to AI and being involved in prescriptions now, explain what that is and is that bad? Is that good? Your thoughts?
Utah is considering a phased system for AI to prescribe topical acne medication in simple cases. At first doctors would approve prescriptions, with later stages allowing AI to prescribe and doctors to review them afterward or check a sample. Keany says the approach is limited, and questions about responsibility and treatment outcomes remain.
Pope Leo XIV's Lung Cancer Diagnosis
Q: So explain what this lung cancer is about, what the surgical techniques is, what happened, and the prognosis, if you will.
Keany says Pope Leo XIV has adenocarcinoma, a common lung cancer that affects smokers and nonsmokers. Surgery may cure a small tumor that has not spread; examination of the lymph nodes and tumor pathology will determine the stage and whether chemotherapy or radiation may be needed.
The Plague Is Back | Interview With Mayor Karen Bass
Q: How do you respond to being labeled by opposition as a fascist, and how do you communicate your governance approach to listeners who may not have voted for you?
She argues the label misinterprets the word, defends her record on collaboration with diverse lawmakers, and stresses measurable actions and policy changes as evidence of effective leadership.
