Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 1- A Messed Up Announcement, Vanessa's Power Outage and MORE

Episode Date: August 24, 2026

About to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show, but first let's tell you about our good friends at the finest airport that ever was and ever will be. The San Bernardino International Airport. Especially when there's summer travel plans, it can get expensive at these airports. That's why you gotta go to this airport where parking is just five bucks a day. Plus you got those easy trips, San Francisco or Provo, Utah. Maybe you didn't plan anything this summer. See how easy it is. Don't be one of those people who has to pack your patience. Go to San Bernardino International Airport. Okay, enough shilling. Now it's time to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show. Hey, what's going on, Klein Alley?

And then immediately get you tickets to see that band At least once here in Southern California and then potentially, again, somewhere else in America. You know, I dare say this is one of your favorites, and you don't have very many favorites. I don't. So you can probably go ahead and figure that out from process of elimination and know before you guess.

Is it Weezer? Is it Counting Crows? Or is it any of the other possible guesses you're going to make right now? You'll just have to wait and find out at 8 a.m. when we make that announcement. What about my guess? I will tell you at 8 a.m., Omar, because a lot of people already guessed. No, it's not Jack Johnson. I don't think it could be that man because he doesn't know where the America came out.

That's right. That is true. Couldn't possibly be one of my favorite bands, because I don't even know anything about them. They got shamed by the guy in the strokes. You did. He's like, check your sources. Yeah, you don't know anything.

We've got a decent show planned for you today, believe it or not. And we'll prove that to you. Okay, don't believe it. Get you into our endless summer kegger. Back Bay Amphitheater, a high-agency that is creeping up upon us on September 3rd. And if you want to join us, we'll get you in not one, not two, not three, not four, but five different opportunities to win your way into our endless summer kegger over the next four hours plus here on KROQ.

I'm in kind of a weird mood. I think I had one of those sleepgasms last night. You had a sex dream? No, I don't even know what I was dreaming about, but I know I was gasming in my sleep because I woke up and then I was like, whoa. Good gasm or bad gasm? Well, there's no bad gasm.

Oh, talk to my wife. There's bad gasms. No, it was great, I think, but I don't remember what I was dreaming about. Why do you believe that that happened while you were sleeping? Because I remember the feeling of it happening, and then I woke up, and I was like, did that just happen? And then I was like, maybe I almost got there, then I should finish myself. And then I started trying to, and then I fell back asleep.

Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. I was like half asleep going, no, did I almost get there, or did I get there? I better fix this. And then after like 20 seconds, I was like, yeah. I'm going to say that you have solved the problem that most people have to deal with when someone wants to tell them about their dreams. And it's an instant tune-out, because no one cares about your hopes and dreams.

No, I don't even remember what was happening in the dream. Right, but start any sort of dream story with, I think I may have had a sleep gas. Yeah. Well, because all the nerve endings are working overtime right now, because there's extra blood pumping and all that stuff. Yeah, you've got a baby's head growing in there, so it could be resting right up there. And the rest of the body parts, too. Yeah, right, so you're getting extra sensitivity down there.

Yeah, so I think that that's why. Snorgasm is what it's called, apparently. A snorgasm. Yeah. Are you diddling your own kid? No. It sounds like that's what you were doing. Yeah.

That's weird, Allie. Well, if that's true, then lucky them. Lucky them. You had a way better dream than this guy. Our show is affecting the dreams of our listeners in a bad way. Hey, Klein. I just want to give you a big thank you for talking about cockroaches so much. Because I ended up having a dream over the weekend that my bedroom had turned into my backseat of my car.

and it was a big car seat and there was cockroaches everywhere. See, Ali's dream is much better than what's happening to the listeners and the show seeps into your brain and then you don't think you're going to have a dream about it but now you have a dream where you're being attacked by cockroaches which is terrible.

And now because of the cockroach situation in my house I have to wake up extra early in the morning just to go hide the bodies that I find because now... Oh, you're still finding bodies? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. This morning I found three more.

Oh, God. And then what I have to do is because I don't want my... If my wife finds them and she gets up It's going to be a whole call to me and freaking out. We've got to move stuff. No, you should pre-screen. That's smart.

I've got to do a walk around now, and I go under the sink, and I go by the toilet, all the little areas with the water, and I take the bodies, and I bring them outside with me. You have like a discard pile outside? Yep, a whole pile outside the house. Like cigarette butts? Three more to the pile today. Let's give them a salute.

A pile of dead roaches. That's right. A big salute. Pull! No, what did we do? We just triggered a song. I'm K-Rock. Oh, no.

We are Kline Alley Show, and this is K-Rock. You can listen. You can watch. We're streaming live on YouTube right now, or better yet, you can find us on 106.7, or perhaps you're listening to this after the fact on a podcast, in which case we're probably already home and taking naps. But here's the good news is that if you are one of the people who likes to call and complain every morning around this time because you don't like the way we do Allie Knows the News, and you think that we're cheating, and you think the contestants are stupid or whatever, someone has a message for you, and I think it's valuable we play this.

Aloha. I just called to complain about the complainers for Allie Knows the News. If you've got a problem with it, wake your ass up at 5 a.m. and read the news like she does. She's not trying to give you your money. It's supposed to be hard, you fools. Also, when that guy called him about his girlfriend saying, call me by my name, said, Omar, I said, call her Alan. I laughed my ass off, man.

That was some real funny stuff. Anyway, sweet dibs. Love you guys. So if you're complaining, that's right. You can just wake up and study more. All the answers are out there. It's all stuff that happened this weekend that's technically in the news. Do the work.

If you know more than Ali, she'll give you some money. If you missed out on Friday, she did pay out on a $500 Friday. Yeah, I forgot, actually. I've got to write that check. That is frustrating for her, but great for you. And if you have the opportunity to call now and would like to battle Allie for $100 of her own money, you can do it at 800-520-1067. Five questions about the news. And if you're wondering about the dumb-off that was concluded at the end of last week

with a tie at the end between Postmaster Johnny, also known as Gay Leno, and Producer Vanessa, you can see the two of them wearing that sash together. And if you're listening to today's show, assuming the dumb-off is continuing, that's just regular show dumb that's not a competition of dumb but as always it it ended in some controversy there are people all weekend they're going johnny should have won vanessa should have won i can't believe it's a tie ties are always disappointing ties are always disappointing but it's also sad when we can't even quite figure out who is the dumbest person on the show so the sash once again is worn by multiple people which has happened before

and you can go ahead and see that glorious photo posted up on our instagram while you're there you'll see some stuff that happened over the weekend it's just like heaven and of course Foo Fighters taking over the Hollywood Bowl. So it was a big weekend in Southern California. We will make it all worth your while with Allie's money after this quick break. If you want to call and play and win, the number is 800-520-1067. It says here that I'm supposed to play. I have a promo scheduled to play now.

The promo is going to give away exactly the announcement that I'm not supposed to make until 8 o'clock. So I don't know what to do at this point because we were supposed to make this announcement and now I feel like it's about to be blown for us. And we were told 8 a.m., correct? Yeah. So I can skip the promo now, and we can go ahead and dangle this carrot in front of people even longer.

Let's do that. Dangle the carrot. Be a rebel, dude. Be a rebel. But it was scheduled now. So who screwed this up? Miles? Yeah.

I mean, human error happens. It sounds like everybody that works at KROQ deserves to be in the dumb off. Yeah. It does appear that way. The amount of... It's a daily competition. Yeah. We should all rotate the parking spot, the dumb-off winner.

I'm just curious, because someone knows that we're not making this announcement for another 45 minutes. Yet, if I play this thing that is scheduled to play now, it will definitely blow the announcement. But, by the way, we are the worst at announcements in the history of announcements. I don't think we've ever... Maybe it's a promo tease. Let's find out. Oh, no. Maybe someone around here did their job right, and this is going to be a beautiful tease.

It's going to keep you listening to K-Rock for another 45 minutes. It's saying Klein and Allie are revealing at 8 a.m. the new band on the K-Rock World Tour. Does it say the band in the promo thing? The Road Trip USA. It sure does. It says the band right here. So this is either a tease or you're going to learn about this before we even announce it to the masses. Let's find out together.

So we'll find out what band you're seeing and where you'll be going at 8 o'clock when we have that big announcement later this morning here. I'm on the edge of my seat. Place your bets. Five questions, $100, bragging rights for life, and an invitation back to the Allie Knows the News Tournament of Champions. Allie just got smashed in her own face by her headphones.

Dangerous job. That's okay. I'm recovering. I will rebuild. At least once a week, one of us gets hit in the face with our own headphones. Well, they're very elastic-y. They do like to fight back sometimes, and I get it. Allie's got to get all Allie's whole five head,

which is asking a lot for these headphones. They should be paid hazard pay, the headphones. We should take it personally. Their microphones and headphones are trying to prevent us from doing our job. Yeah, that's just the note that they've been trying to give us for a while now, I guess. God is like, how do I stop this? We get into your questions now around if Allie knows the news. She'll be battling Allie over there.

If you do better than she does, you get an instant $100 cash. And who couldn't use an extra $100 these days? We say good morning to a man in Tustin who calls himself Fat Al. Hello, Fat Al. Good morning. Congratulations, Allie. What do you mean? Off the win you're about to have.

Don't feel bad. I got sprayed with a skunk the other day, and I thought it was dead, and it sprayed me right in the mouth. Oh, my God. What did that taste like? Bad Allie, you've really painted a picture in those 30 seconds we've known you. Wait, wait. You thought you had a dead skunk that you encountered,

and what, you went to pick it up, and it shot you in the mouth? No, I'm coming up to you with a shovel, and then it jumped up and just sprayed me in the mouth all over my body and everything, so don't feel bad. You start gagging when that happens right away? Oh, dude, I was gagging. I had to go in the shower. My wife was saying, use the, what do you call it,

like a ketchup and all that kind of stuff. Shotgun on yourself. Yeah, I'm telling you, I mean, that thing sprayed my dog in the mouth, and even just being near it, I was retching for a good 45 minutes. That smell is so potent. So how do you smell this morning, Al?

Oh, this was a couple weeks ago, so the linger's still there, but it's not too bad. The linger is still there. For two weeks? Wow. Nice to paint the picture. All right, well, Fat Al, you're battling Fat Ali. It's a round of Fat Al versus Fat Ali in a little Ali Knows the News. I'm rooting for you, my man.

Think of all of the tomato juice you could buy to bathe yourself in if you win. And here we—oh, hold on. Let her leave the studio. Hold on. She's moving slowly today. It's Monday. She's now out of here. Your round can officially begin right now.

Allie knows the news. All right, sadly, a tourist has died because of the heat. This happened in Death Valley, where temperatures hit what number took out a tourist who was visiting? What was the number? I think it was 114. 114. We've got a question number two. A new species of snake has been not only discovered, but has been named after what musician? It's a big honor when you have a species of animal named after you.

What musician, I'll even give you a little bit more detail, what guitarist was this snake named after? Guitarist? I want to say guitarist. Ooh, that's a good one. Mm-hmm, it sure is. Guitarist. Out there, let's do, what's his name from Rage Against the Machine?

God dang it. Tomarella? Tomarella, there you go. We got a question number three. Spider-Man keeps on minting money, and it has now climbed to what number on the list of the top-grossing films of all time? What number is it at currently in the top-grossing movies of all time? Well, you said Spider-Man or the other one? Spider-Man.

Spider-Man. I want to say... You sure that skunk didn't get you in the ears, too? One billion. One billion. That was not going to answer the question I asked, but we'll go with that. Question four. A tour bus was involved in a multi-vehicle accident.

I believe fatalities occurred. Which band's tour bus was involved in this incident over the weekend? I want to say it's Blink-182. And finally, man, that would be some real Final Destination stuff for Travis Barker, if that were true. Surviving a plane crash and potentially a bus crash as well. We go to your final question right now. This is question number five. What place currently are the Los Angeles Dodgers in?

I want to say they're in fourth place. Fourth place. All right, let's bring Allie in. We'll score it together. Five questions about the news, things happening in the world. Let's see how Allie does. Allie's back in the K-Rock studios. You're battling a man who was recently sprayed by a skunk.

His name is Fat Al. That's what he calls himself. Is that a nickname that your friends call you, Fat Al? Is that one of those ironic nicknames? Yeah, that's a nickname. Yeah, my name's just Al Bundy. Right. But are you actually skinny and they call you Fat Al because it's funny or are you actually fat?

No, I'm pretty fat. Yeah, they call me Fat Al. All right. Right on the nose there. That's a good nickname. Allie, question one. Yeah. A tourist died in Death Valley, sadly, as temperatures hit what number?

God, I think it was up to 116. He said 114. 114 seems refreshing and nice. The correct answer is 116 degrees is what took down that tourist. Allie goes up one early. Not good for you, Fat Al, but a point for Fat Allie. And we go to question number two. A new species of snake has not only been discovered, but has been named after what musician?

I'll even give you a hint. It was a guitarist. Yes, I know this. It is Mr. Slash. Ah, Slash from Guns N' Roses is the correct answer. A non-venomous snake, which you're not as cool as having a venomous one named after you. I was going to say that. Well, you didn't.

You said Tom Morello, so Allie gets the point. I'm talking to my son. Oh, okay. That's a good time to do that. Don't lie to your son. I mean, you weren't going to say that. Let's be honest. You failed.

This is fat Chris. This is my son. He's fatter than I am. Question three. Allie is up 2-0 right now. Spider-Man has now moved to what place on the list of the top grossing movies of all time? God, of all time. I think it's two.

Is it second? Okay. I know it was number one again for the fourth weekend in a row or something. It just keeps making money. And the amount of people I know that have now gone and seen it more than once, even more than twice, is crazy. That's how it keeps making so much money. It is now, you're not as high as two. He guessed one billion, but I don't think he understood the question.

I got the question. The question was funny to me. Sorry. That's okay. I thought you were talking about how much they made. It is now the sixth highest grossing film in the history of all films. I think it's made over $2 billion. It's over $3 billion now.

I think Tom Holland has made over $100 million. Man. Who's with that? Is Zendaya dating that guy now? They're married. Oh, they're married? Yeah. Oh, man, he messed up.

Hope he got a good prenup. He messed up. He's got a lot of money coming in. Zendaya, she's beautiful. Well, for now, sure. But I'm just saying, he's got all the money now. He's a short king. He's raking it in.

That's a good point. I hope she's got a good prenup. That's what I meant to say. Question four. Ali said, once again, she's on a tear right now. Tearing it up. This band's tour bus was involved in a multi-vehicle accident over the weekend. Fatalities, I do believe, took place.

Oh, damn. Which band's tour bus was involved in this unfortunate incident? I didn't see this. Let's see. Tour bus. Let's go with, I don't know, Queens of the Stone Age? Why are you going with them? I don't know.

I think they're touring. This is a band I don't think you would have ever... I think it was touring. I don't think you would have gotten this one, but it was news over the weekend. Allie's favorite band, Buck Cherry. Who the hell's that? That's a band. Ah, crazy bitch.

Yeah, yeah. Crazy bitch. Well, then the story makes sense. No one gets the point. He guessed Blink-182. And the final question is, what place are the Dodgers currently in? Probably first. The Dodgers are currently, he said fourth.

Terrible guess. Currently in first place in the NL West. 80 and 51. I don't even know how they've played this many games so far, but I guess Omar knows because he watches them all. But they're currently in first, first place. And that means that sadly, Fat Al, I like you. And you know what we're going to do?

Because you were a nice guy, we're going to send you a Make Alley Fat Again hat, which I think will be funny for a guy by the name of Fat Al. So hold on one second to receive your hat. But sadly, you get no money. And what must you shamefully admit over the airwaves of K-Rock before your heart gives in? Fat Alley, you know the news.

Thanks so much, Fat Al. We're sending you a hat because we didn't have any shirts large enough. Oh, damn. I don't like this fat-on-fat violence going on here. I'm not a fan of it. They cancel each other out. Let's go ahead and settle this the old-fashioned way on a seesaw. All right?

Let's get the two of them and figure it out. Retraction. Not that this changes anything, Allie, but the Dodgers, I guess, dropped to second place behind the Brewers. I didn't know. So close. 80 and 51. Brewers, 81 and 50, but that's when you go specific about, we're not going to get into

all that. We're not a sports show. There's plenty of that I'm sure you can listen to, but Allie, in case you care, I know you're a huge Dodgers fan. I know Homer's a huge baseball fan. Oh, the biggest. I actually did buy tickets to a Dodger game recently. Yeah, because they're playing the Giants.

Right. And you're going to go there wearing the Giants gear. Boring. Yeah. Damn it. The whole game or just this conversation? I think any time we talk about baseball. Vanessa is a survivor.

We got a very cryptic message from her last night. And I think some people are dealing with this still today. But when temperatures get as hot as they've been, everyone looks to blast the A.C. because it's the greatest invention ever. and for some people that means the power goes out not just in their house or in their apartment but in their entire neighborhood and Vanessa called us freaking the F out last night

Guys, there's a power outage My phone's at 47% and I don't have a car charger So, you know, there's nothing scarier slash more fun when you're a child than a power outage Because then you can play Monopoly Yeah, so she was excited to enjoy the power outage, but Vanessa does live alone

so she was also kind of freaked out about it And my I, whatever, like that extra thing that charges your phone. Well, it didn't work. Anyways, I'm just going to trust that my 47% will wake me up. Let me tell you something right now, Vanessa. I have never in the history of a phone been as high as 47% charged. When you get it and open it up, I think you just start using it and you don't even ever charge it.

47% could get you, you were concerned that you wouldn't wake up with 47% charge? I just had to make sure that I would wake up. My phone this morning was at 10%. Okay? 10%. But just from sitting there all night, you lost 30%. It was at 10%. I find that impossible.

No way. I promise you. Vanessa probably had her flashlight. You had your flashlight on all night to keep you safe, I bet. I don't know. It's just I kept my phone on the charging in case the lights did go back on. Oh, yeah, you told us your plan. We heard.

Right? That's plenty of time. But I will also keep my phone charged, like, plugged in case the lights go back on. But if I don't make it in the morning, it's because my phone died. But I don't think that I will. 47%. I will for sure make it, right? Anyways, this is just me letting you know just in case.

I didn't get murdered. My phone just died. What a weird way to end the message. Yeah, because if I didn't make it to work, you'd be like, where's Vanessa? Do you think our first thought would be she got murdered? Yeah, maybe. And then we'd just go on with the show? Anyway, here's the news.

I think Vanessa got murdered. She's not here. Well, her not showing up would be very strange. And that's how all those Netflix documentaries start, right? She didn't show up for work. We do a wellness check. She's been eating. Right.

And you would try to call me, but I wouldn't answer because my phone's off. So you had to deal with the sweltering heat, even though you live by the water and it's supposed to be, I mean, that's the biggest crock of us. I was in Orange County over the weekend because I thought it would be much nicer and cooler there. It was not any cooler there. It's just as painfully hot there as it was here. What, did you get like two degrees?

I literally looked. I said, let's see what it is in the valley right now. 99 in the valley? Oh, good. It's 97 where I am right now. That was worth two hours of traffic. That's worth sitting to drive all the way here just to be just as hot. Well, you were outside.

That's your big mistake is being outside at all. Sucker. Yeah. I was a sucker. But you had no AC all night long in your place. And then that also means when you have no phone charging, then you're worried, so that makes it harder to sleep because you're afraid that your phone's going to die and afraid that you're not going to wake up for work.

So your mind's going. This started at 5. And if I would have known, I would have kept my phone charged. I was at 50% at 5, and I was like, okay, get off your phone because we don't know when the lights are going to come back. I was trying to look for my portable charger. It only worked for like 30 minutes, and then it stopped working. And then I went into, I looked for cables.

I found something, and it wouldn't charge in my car. So I was like, okay, just don't go on your phone. I read everything was fine Because it wasn't like extremely hot yet So I was reading It was actually quite peaceful Like you didn't hear ACs going It was nice

If you listen to this message though We boosted some of it Guys, there's a power outage My phone's at 47% And I don't have a car charger And my whatever What's going on in the background? That extra thing that charges your phone

I don't know what that is Anyways That's where all the power is going That's way more than 47% Hey, what else are you going to do in a power outage? Wait, Vanessa, you told Allie off the air That you believe this counts as camping, correct? Oh my gosh, it literally

My house was extremely hot I had all the windows up I was trying to get some air to go through nothing I had a spray bottle next to me So I would spray myself So it would like feel cool And I had a candle on Because it was still, like, early, and I was like, well, I can't fall asleep.

When it's really hot, you can't fall asleep. And I had a flashlight, thankfully. So I was like, I'm basically camping. Anyone that would make a sound outside, you can hear. Because the white noise from everyone's ACs was off. Right. It was crazy. But you're near the ocean, so that's kind of like nature's white noise, is it not?

I was like, I'm not that close to the ocean. Like, I have to walk three blocks. You know what I mean? So, I'm interested in the fact that you think just because you had a flashlight and a candle that you were camping. Oh, my God. And the heat, that's exactly what camping would feel like. She claims that. You're sleeping in a bed.

That doesn't count. And also, it's not part of fun or summer. Fun or summer, forced fun or summer means you're doing something, quote, fun. This was exactly like camping. That sounds, your experience sounds terrible. Yeah, it was terrible. If that's what camping was like, I would never go. That's what forced camping is going to be like.

Does not count. You have to go on an actual camping trip. Yeah, and you're running out of time. I know we'll update everyone, but here we are now getting toward the end. Only have like two weeks left, I guess. But with this heat, you're going to be kidding me. That's not going to happen. So tomorrow, if this is still happening, I will bring you one of my little pop-up tents.

And all you have to do is go out onto your nearest lawn and pop the tent and sleep outside. And then that counts. You have to be in a tent for it to be camping. You can't be in a bed. There were news stories over the weekend about the heat wave, power outages, and people that were living in apartments all basically sleeping outside together. That was happening. Yeah, well, that's more enjoyable than being trapped in a building.

I hung out outside my door for like 30 minutes. It felt nice. And I was like, you know, it was like nice. Like no noise. Like no, like no. Noise, right? Noise. That doesn't sound right.

Well, you sound like you slept great. Oh, I woke up like every hour and I was having nightmares of like me missing the alarm. Yeah. It was terrible. I know, it's no way to sleep. It's good you're here now, and we're glad you survived the heat wave, and technically we cannot accept that, sadly, as a funner summer campout, but... I'm counting it.

We appreciate the message, and if you're wondering if Vanessa's been murdered, the answer is no, because she's right here to prove it. 917 said, my phone is down to 57%. Quick, get funny, in case my phone dies. That's not going to happen. Sorry, you need more than that.

We'll give you those details the second we're done with this Your news Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD News. We'll start with talking about your memory. Here's the new thing that is bad for you. Taking screenshots. Apparently, the more screens you shot, the more shot your memory is, according to a new study.

And if you screenshot an image. That's all I do now. I screenshot everything now. It's the only way. And then I can't find what I'm looking for. And then you can't remember where the screenshot, like if the screenshot gets lost in your photos, you can't even find the screenshot. If it's a ticket to something, if it's something valuable, I just go screenshot it. Not my problem.

And I don't like order confirmed. Screenshot. Everything gets screenshot. And I just assume that is proof that something happened. But you're right. I put zero effort into trying to remember it because I assume I've now sidestepped the need to remember it because it's in my phone somewhere. Exactly. My phone will remember it for me.

The last thing I screenshotted was yesterday. I screenshotted a few recipes and then I probably would have remembered them better if I had looked at them for just more than one second. or written them down or whatever. Well, that's asking a lot of recipes. That's like steps and ingredients. I just wanted to remember which ingredients I needed, right? And I looked at it about a thousand times while I was at the grocery store.

I'm like, if I had just spent like 10 seconds really studying this, I probably wouldn't have needed to look at it a thousand different times. But basically, the more you screenshot, you're less likely to actually remember it than if you were to just look at it. And it extends onto just regular pictures.

Pressing a couple of buttons on your phone will significantly worsen your memory of that information, despite never having looked away from the screen. Like, if you look at the thing, instead of taking a picture of the thing, you'll remember it better. And if you don't look through your pictures ever, then what's the point of even taking the picture in the first place to, quote, remember it? I'm just hoping that in, like, five years, when it gives me one of my memory slideshows, it will be like, these were the codes you screenshotted that you needed. I don't remember you codes.

You screenshot these codes. One of these beautiful codes from 10 years ago. Oh, thank God. I needed those codes. There they are. Does it play the music? Yeah, of course. It's a violin playing.

It's giving me all my codes that I've screenshotted. There's like one picture of a baby or a kid. Your memories from five years ago today was a confirmation number for a Southwest flight you never took. Because I couldn't have the goddamn numbers. I couldn't get on it. It is totally a fear tactic. It's like, I don't want this to go away. I want proof that this happened.

And also, just anything that you feel like you're not supposed to look at. Like, if there's an image that's going to go away or if there's a video or something, you're like, I better just screen record this or screen grab it because the internet's going to erase it. I have more code screenshots in my phone than pictures of my own children. Guaranteed. Guaranteed. Even if you get an email after, a confirmation email? I screenshot that, too.

Screenshot it. Got to have it all. If you're a boomer, you've probably had this experience, the embarrassing feeling of your cell phone ringing in a public place. For most people, this doesn't happen anymore, or the equivalent, I guess, would be having your sound on in reels or something. But RFK Jr. was giving a speech about autism, very serious topic, and he was rudely interrupted by himself when his phone started ringing in the middle of an otherwise impactful moment. Children with autism are 100 times more likely to drown than neurotypical children. We have a responsibility to do better. I don't know, autistic, sorry about that.

When an autistic person goes missing, responders need to move immediately. I mean, at least he reacted quickly. His ringtone is himself? No, it's the quack. Oh, I thought that was him. It's an autistic duck. It's him. It's an autistic duck swimming.

That's his ringtone. I thought Omar was putting that sound in first. There's our audio sniper crushing it as always. I mean, I understand that the quack ringtone is one of the funnier ringtones. However, this only happens to old people now, right? Yeah, of course. No one has their phone on sound ever. Oh, Allie, your phone's ringing.

Oh, sorry. It's so embarrassing. Anytime you talk about autism, this happens. It's so offensive. Well, boomers are upset. They didn't think our show was making fun of them too much. Hey, what the hell? I'm listening to Thursday's podcast,

and you're talking about the all-boomers generation wars and how there's a winner, but, like, not really, because they didn't get many right. That's wrong. This is Boomer Stacey. See, I got a lot of them right. A lot of them. So, yeah, not cool.

Okay. A few more Boomer hate on the show. We will be getting into a round of Oops All Boomers Generation Wars later this week, though. And we invite RFK Jr. if you'd like to participate and be a part of it. Boomer. It would be great. It's Kobe Day. 824 is a day of celebration in Southern California, remembering one of the best to ever do it.

Yesterday was his birthday. His wife, Vanessa, posted a picture of the two of them. He was sitting in her lap in a lawn chair. It's very cute. It's hard to believe that it's been six years now since he died. And the city of Santa Monica is going to celebrate by lighting up the Ferris wheel in purple and gold. And the number is 824 all night long. Let's hope there's no power outage there.

And then, of course, Nike likes to celebrate every year by releasing new Kobe-branded sneakers. There's five different sneaker designs that have been released over the last couple of months. And the final release came out yesterday. It's the Nike Kobe 10 Pro Tro Halos. And shockingly, still available on the website for $190. The low, low price. All right, Kobe, you are, I'd like to say you're missed. It's weird because I think every, I drive home every day by about six Kobe murals every day on my commute home.

So it's weird that I feel like I see Kobe now daily. You feel like every day is Kobe day. Yeah, I mean, it's six of them. And I will give credit as a place that likes to graffiti over stuff and deface things. These have remained relatively clean, which just shows the leg. It's like a little bit of class. That's how you know you're actually like a respected individual, when a mural can be put up about you and someone doesn't feel the need to immediately tag it.

How's my mural doing? I went past it a couple weeks ago. It looked fine. Oh, see? I'm among legends. I take back my statement that I just made a moment ago. Someone please deface Ali's mural immediately. All right, brand new hour of the show.

In exactly two minutes and 30 seconds, with the announcement that you've probably been waiting for. Oh, where are you going to next? We'll tell you after this.
