  • 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.

‘Tech Tuesday’ with Rich DeMuro | OC DA Todd Spitzer
Q: Is this new AI agent model something you think will replace traditional apps or assistants anytime soon?
It's a complementary step that augments how we manage tasks, but it also introduces new privacy and security considerations that must be addressed before widespread reliance occurs.
RIP Gloria Steinem | LAUSD Adopts Moratorium on Student AI Case
Q: What made Gloria Steinem such a pivotal figure in the feminist movement?
She combined journalism, advocacy, and storytelling to elevate women's rights, used her platform to challenge objectification, and helped create enduring institutions like Ms. Magazine that supported ongoing political and social change.
‘Tech Tuesday’ with Rich DeMuro | Mamdani Sued Over Municipal Grocery Stores
Q: Okay, let me ask you this because I know you're not into the financial world like you are in the tech world, but the amount of money that's being spent on AI, the investments are so insane. Does that make sense?
Yes, it's a high-stakes race where companies are pouring money into data centers, models, and talent to secure leading AI capabilities, but the payoff is uncertain and could hinge on finding a sustainable ROI amid competing open-source options and variable market demand.
‘Tech Tuesday’ with Rich DeMuro | Millennials and Minivans
Q: Okay, so without further ado, the new Samsung foldables, what do you think now that you've had a chance to test them?
They're the first time in seven years that I could wholly recommend them; Samsung offers three models—the Flip, the Fold 8, and the Fold 8 Ultra—with the Fold 8 being the sweet spot for most people due to its balance of size, usability, and features, though price remains a hurdle for the average consumer.
‘Tech Tuesday’ with Rich DeMuro | Garbage Trucks are Spying on You
Q: What impact do Chinese AI models have on the US tech landscape, especially for large incumbents like Google and OpenAI?
The guest notes that open-sourcing and lower costs in Chinese models could shift demand away from expensive, filtered offerings, potentially forcing American companies to rethink pricing and partnerships while developers worldwide might adopt cheaper alternatives.
