Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 1- ADD News, Blind Charlie's Long Walk and MORE

Episode Date: June 26, 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?

Are you ready? I love Klein Alley, you little bitch. Klein Alley, it's just okay. Just don't let things bother you too much. Good morning, everybody. Hey, what up, Klein Alley? Whoa, sweet divot steak, did you see that? Viva Klein Alley Show.

Let's get the show started. The show started. The show started. We are live in Los Angeles. Three, two, one. And here we go. Mom's a hag. Look at her.

It's Klein Alley Show. Low 6.7. KROQ FM and HD Pasadena. Los Angeles. Orange County. The Sonic Pulse of Los Angeles. This is the world famous KROQ. Hey, Klein, it's Friday!

Nothing like a great joke to start the Friday show. Good morning. That was great. Welcome to your KROQ. We are Klein Alley Show. Nice to meet you. Thanks for coming back for more. Recovering from your BF Thursday, perhaps.

A lot of people leaving their recipes on the goat line, things that they had last night for dinner. But we move into the weekend ahead. It's going to be a great one. This is the weekend that Vanessa will be getting drunk at a water park. Oh, yes. Funner summer guarantee. We're going to see what Cabana Vanessa is like. Oh, yeah.

Because we're going to be going to Wild Rivers. I'm going with some friends, and I invited Vanessa to go. We've got a cabana. We're going to get some drinks. I do believe she's going to be the only person drinking, but still, it's going to be a good time for Vanessa. So, yeah, it's going to be a good day this weekend because Columbia's got another soccer game, of course, and then you'll be getting drunk in a water park, and Funner Summer's officially underway. We are going to make sure this morning is a fun morning, as we promised you, Funner Summer, just for listening to K-Rock.

Light Aid Friday's back. This time, Allie will be on the hot seat for the final Friday of Pride Month. Thank God this national nightmare is behind us. and Allie will be forced to answer questions about her relationship. I mean, there are a lot of questions that people want you to answer. They want you on the hot seat, strapped in, and we will figure out some things that perhaps you've been not so honest about on the show. Lydie Friday, the Allie edition, coming up later this morning.

Unlike you, I don't lie very often, so I don't understand why we're doing this. Well, there's a lot of lesbian-related questions that people have for you. There's a lot of, I mean, I can go through some. Is it the same five that I get every single year? If you met the right guy, would you not be gay anymore? We're going to ask that a few times. Why, if you don't like D, do you have dildos? Here we go.

Fascinating. The answer is I don't know. Some of the ones that came through from listeners. What's the best brand of shoeshine? Okay, that's not a related question. That is one of the questions. I'm just reading some of the questions. I don't know about shoeshine.

You should use a bit of a shot. Which race does Allie hate the most? That's one of the questions that's here as well. And what if I do? What if I don't? Are they all? This is supposed to be not related to racism. No, that's all I got here.

It's a different month. 75 racism questions. Okay. No, no. There's a bunch of questions here about. Here's one interesting. We'll find out. If Klein was a woman, would you smash her?

That's a listener question. That's a great. A lot of great questions here. If Klein was a woman, he wouldn't have this job. That's right. I wouldn't let two ladies have a show together. Are you crazy? That'd be so unlistenable.

Let's get into this, and then we have a good show planned for you. Our buddies in Wolves of Glendale will be stopping by for some live in-studio music. And I know it's going to be hard to follow up Muse from yesterday, but if I'm going to go band to band, Wolves of Glendale I like better than Muse. Oh, comparable. I think they have the same amount of Grammys. I think they do. In fact, without getting too excited about what we have in store for you,

I believe you've inspired one of their songs, Allie, which I'm going to play you a clip of right now. Is it about peeing in the pool? This one is about people that brag about finishing reading books. And they get really proud of themselves because they finished a book. And for everyone who's a reader out there, I'm not one of you, because I spent my life in the Turtle Reading Group. Perhaps you can relate with the person you know

that loves to talk about all the books they've read. Did the impossible No one can f*** with me I finished a book I did it, I can't believe I did it Spent a little every day at lunch I finished a book I'm telling everyone I know

And it only took me seven months Technically it was an audio book But that still f***ing counts So I'm bragging about finishing an audio book like Allie likes to do on a regular basis. So there you go. The one book that I gave you, you told me the day that you finished it. I'm still not done with it yet. Come on.

You said you were finishing it up. I said that a while ago. I still have two chapters left. It's almost been a year. Almost been a year. Good show planned for you this morning. Go nowhere. We are Klein Allie Show on KROQ.

It's the final Friday of Pride Month, which means I think today's the day we're going to go through the gayest things that were said this month on the show. Who will win for gayest line said on the show? Here's a frontrunner. The only issue that I currently have, and I'm dealing with it, and it sucks because they're ruining my hibiscus plants, are white flies. So Omar could win for gayest thing said this month on the show. That's a real deal concern, my friend. I was out there in my yard spraying neem oil on my hibiscus. Add that to the...

That could be the new one now. Yeah, oil them up. Oil up your hibiscus. We'll find out if that has enough to overpower this one. I want to have this NBA player's baby. That's my plan. There's a bunch of things that were said this month on the show, many of them out of context.

So we will figure out who will win, and it will be very exciting, and that will be a little bit later this morning. If you'd like Allie's money, I don't see why you wouldn't want it. Today it's a $500 Friday. People are so excited about the $500 Fridays that even with all the World Cup fever, they cannot stop but sing the $500 Friday theme song.

Hey, it's Friday. I got to practice. I'm road tripping today with some friends to a World Cup game. Get it going. But let's go. $500 Friday. Let's go.

$500 of Allie's money could be yours. All you got to do is call us now. 800-520-1067. Five questions about things happening in the world. There's news out there, believe it or not. If you do better than Allie, she will be forced to give you $500 of her money. Which can get you almost to take a gas right now.

So now is a great time to call and claim it. And we will hopefully, hopefully turn you into a big fat winner after this quick, quick break on KROQ. And then we've got more show in store for you, including this amazing opportunity that you'll hear about right now. It's your $500 Friday here at KROQ. May not seem like much, but it's definitely better than nothing. And Allie hates paying the people, especially on a Friday. I don't know how the $500 Friday began. I think it was something.

was just said by somebody and not agreed by me and then it's happening. And now... That's how most things work around here. Same with all of Allie Knows the News

in general. Yeah, that's right. Well, anyway... Wouldn't it be funny if you gave everyone $100 a day for the news? No, I don't like that idea. Okay, well,

we're going to do it Monday morning. People seem to like it. Hey, everyone's got ideas of ways to make Allie Knows the News better. And listen,

$500 could be yours. Allie's upset now, but she's hormonal and pregnant, so we can't say anything about it or else We have to go talk to HR. So let's just all sit back and pretend it's not happening.

And listen, a lot of people have opinions, Allie. Hey, guys. Something I've been thinking about for a while, and Klein's got it all wrong, keeps talking about people for Allie Knows the News are turning for tour champions or whatever it is. What you guys need to do is anyone who ties, they should come back for a tour of ties. Oh, a tour of ties, tournament of ties.

A lot of people. Oh, as a lesbian now, I'm interested. This is Allie Loves Ties, especially those bolo ones. Big fan. I pride myself. Have the people get a chance to actually win. So this guy's come up with a solution now for all the people you haven't had to pay because they tied you, and we have a ties go to the house rule so you can keep your money.

This guy says, let's bring all the tie people back so they can take your money a second time. Well, what's the competition? We just do it over again? Yeah. Maybe even play each other to get to the point of playing against Allie to where they actually get a chance to win something bigger than their tie where maybe they got sent with something else. That is interesting.

So this guy's come up with a way to take all the people that have not won money from you and give them another chance to win your money. Well, how do you then prevent another tie? Well, we can't. I mean, as we're learning in soccer, ties are boring. Tie breakers. You do it all the time. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we could do just constant tie breakers.

Let's say good morning to someone who wants your money now. They want $500 of Ali's money. And a lot of people on the phone, Fullerton and Cerrito and Anaheim and Long Beach, Sherman Oaks. We could go all over the place. But we're going to say good morning to Guillermo, who's on the phone from Alhambra right now. Good morning, Guillermo. Good morning. Sweet dibs.

Sweet dibs to you. Hopefully you're up for the challenge. Allie will leave the K-Rock Studios now. Everyone wanted a shot at this. You get the chance to play for $500. Five questions about things happening in the news. Allie is moving out of the studio real slow now, Omar. Maybe time to start hitting that dump truck sound because she is really taking her sweet-ass time to mosey on out.

We'll get into your round right now. Please answer these questions quickly, confidently, and accurately. Let's see how well you know the news. Here we go. Ali knows the news. Question number one. U.S. had a World Cup match yesterday against Turkey. What ended up happening in that game?

The U.S. lost 3-2 in the final seconds. Yeah, it was wild. 3-2 loss, final seconds of that one. And we move on to question number two. We'll score it together at the end. At the jackass world premiere of their new jackass movie, they had an ice luge there that was shaped like what? Penis. Penis.

That seems about right. On brand. I'll write that down. We go to question number three. Love Island USA has had to remove another contestant for what reason? What was that? Repeat the question. Love Island USA had to remove another contestant for what reason?

um steroids steroids that would probably be removal of all the contestants we got a question number four there's a rare 250th anniversary edition of some u.s currency that's being made they're only making 250 000 of them but if you get it it could be worth way more than the actual value what piece of currency is going to have a rare limited edition july 4th 250th anniversary edition that is being released by the Mint. A coin? Is that a...

Need more specific. A bill? The Donald Trump bill? I'm not sure. I'm going to need an actual currency that we have in this country. Anywhere from a penny, which I don't even think they make anymore,

up to a $100 bill. Which one would you like to give me? Oh, I got you, got you. $2 bill. A $2 bill. Man, love them $2 bills. And finally, question number five. An animal has escaped from its enclosure somewhere in America.

It's now been missing for two weeks. There's a $5,000 reward being offered if anyone can return. What animal that has gone missing from its enclosure? A chimpanzee. Chimpanzee is on the loose in America, according to this guy. All right, we'll bring Allie and we'll score it together. All technically news stories. Here she comes, reentering the studio.

And it really is about right today. She's moving super slow. I don't feel good, guys. What is it, the morning sickness today, the nausea? Yeah. Just the combination? All over everywhere. Aren't you glad you wanted to do this again?

Yeah, super great. Question number one, Allie. Once again, if you lose, you pay this man $500. This guy's got no problem taking $500 from a pregnant woman. Question number one. I'm just going to close my eyes while you do this. U.S. men's soccer team had a game last night. They played Turkey.

What happened? They lost the game? More specific. They lost the game at the end? More specific than that, even. It was 3-2. I'll accept that as a right answer. 3-2, final second.

Unbelievable. It was the final second? It was like the final second. It's so funny. I don't even know what the final second is in these games. Well, it was during the extra time that they add back into the game. I thought I was watching the final seconds of that Columbia game, and then they went on for another 10 minutes.

That's so weird. It's so dumb. He got that right as well. You guys are both on the board. not a great loss but apparently it doesn't matter anyway because I think they're playing they already know who they're playing in the next round at the Bosnia

so anyway we go to question number two tied up 1-1 as we go to question two at the jackass world premiere of their new movie they had an ice luge that was shaped like what? it's getting a lot of attention well a luge has got to have

a nice like I was thinking maybe an ass because it has like A divot. You know that you can ride down, maybe? Sweet divot. He said a penis. But the correct answer is, in this particular case, at the Jackass film premiere, they had ass...

An ass. Ice luges. Cool. Ice ass luges. An ass luge. So people could drink ass shots. And that is very appropriate for the guys in Jackass. Did you see what they did with the drones?

Oh, it's amazing, dude. Yeah, they had a guy... The drone show? Yeah, they made a guy fart out of drones. And then he lit his butt up with a firework. It was great. All in drones. The technology is incredible.

Yeah, it was amazing. Incredible. Amazing, amazing. Okay, I'm very excited for this movie. Best use of drones ever. They don't get the Oscar for this one. Something's wrong. We go to question number three.

Ali goes up one now. Three questions left. Ali knows the news. Come on, we're rooting for you, Guillermo. Let's go. Question number three. Let's go. Ali, Love Island USA has had to remove another contestant.

For what reason? I didn't even know they removed one contestant. Let's say they got in a fight, like a physical fight. Physical fight. He said steroids. This is physical fight. But apparently, they keep using racial slurs. Oh.

And this particular one was doing a shoeshine impression. No, they weren't. And got removed from the show. Please stop. I'm not racist. No, I know. The Bayous. The Oos and the Bayous.

That's a southern accent. That's the contestant that got removed right there from Love Island. And I don't know why they keep getting these racist types on there. But, boy, that always seems to be problematic. Are you racist? Yes. All right, you're in. This will be good TV.

Hold it. Racist. Question number four. No one gets the point there. Allie's still up one with two questions left. You're still in it. Guillermo, let's go. Question four.

There's a rare piece of currency that is being released to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, the birthday. This piece of currency. They're only going to release 250,000 of these. But if you get it, it will already be worth way more than the actual currency that it's being made on. What is it that is being released? I believe it is a quarter. All right. He said a $2 bill.

But for the limited time only, you can get a rare July 4th, 250th anniversary U.S. quarter, which apparently they say is going to be worth at least 10 times the quarter. So that's $2.50. But they're just throwing them into regular circulation. Regular circulation. So you have to find it. You got to find it. Hope you get it. Which means then you have to pay cash for stuff.

Like, nobody uses cash. Unless you can Venmo me that quarter. I'm never going to see it. So every grocery store clerk is going to have them. Let's do some laundry. Allie goes up another point, and I think that's it for you. But we give you the final question anyway. This animal has escaped from its enclosure somewhere in America.

It's been missing for two weeks now. There's a $5,000 reward for any information to help bring it back. I have been following this story. You have been? Yes, because how do you not find it? It's a giraffe. He said chimpanzee. The correct answer is there's a giraffe on the loose right now.

They don't know where it is. A giraffe in Texas. How do you not spot that? They think it may be outside of Texas already. They don't even know. So, anyway, keep your eyes peeled for a giraffe. If you see it, it could be worth $5,000. Anyway, Guillermo, thanks for playing the game.

Sadly, Allie holds onto her money for at least another day. What must you shamefully admit over the airwaves of K-Rock? This is Guillermo on the Gay Rocks, and Allie knows the news. There you go. Thank you, Guillermo. Well said, sir. All right, well, we've got lots to get into this morning, including your final chances to hop on that bus

if you want to go to Santa Barbara, see Royal Otis, or see Matt Rife, or you just want to stick around and watch what happens when Allie hops on the lie detector test. Could throw up on the lie detector, guys. How much does Allie hate all of us right now is going to be the first question. A 10, 11. That is correct. It's K-Rock. We don't brag about ourselves very often around these parks

because there's not a lot to brag about, but I am very excited to see that this weekend, this is pretty cool, and I just found out about this. Maybe it's not even true, but there's this cool fan event happening at the FIFA fan zone at Union Station. Travis Barker's going to be there DJing with the DJ Spider, and that's happening on Saturday. But on Sunday, our very own DJ Omar Khan is going to be DJing. What? Yeah, how about that?

And it's crazy because— A FIFA thing? Listen to this. There's a different DJ Khan that's DJing on Friday there. That's right. And I said to myself, oh, man, so close. It was almost Omar, but it's like Valentino Khan. And I was like, that's the wrong—

And then I'm looking at it, and I go, there can't be another DJ Omar Khan. Wow, Valentino Khan sounds so cool. Yeah, so don't go to the Sunday one. Go to the Friday. Support the other Khan. Hey, hey, no. Show up to the Sunday one, too. What if he's so nice and shows up to everything?

They're going to be showing all the... I want Valentino Khan. He's like an even better audio sniper somehow. He doesn't talk about his hibiscus. Which is happening. It's in downtown Union Station, and apparently it's free. So if you want to go support DJ Omar Khan out in the wild, I'm sure I'll take pictures of myself in the bathroom there.

Hey, how dare you? You do have to register at Eventbrite.com to get the tickets. No one's doing that. Eventbrite. Okay. But you're not doing this for free, Omar. No, I am not doing this for free. No, I get paid.

Omar does nothing for free. Yeah. That's true. Every day we say, you want to come do this? He goes, what's the pay? The guy asked me what he was going to get paid to come to my backyard kegger. I said, nothing. It's just a backyard kegger.

And forget him out. He goes, I'm sending Valentino in my place. So anyway, that's this week. Maybe Travis will show up. Yeah, Travis Barker. It's a cool collection of DJs, including our very own DJ Omar Khan, which is very exciting. He'll be there playing all of your favorite remixes, like Vanessa doing the Beach Boys, I'm sure, and everything else. Hey, Dolores, I'm K-Rock.

Good morning. Good morning. What's up? Hey, I saw Blind Charlie. What happened? I saw Blind Charlie. Oh, well, that's insulting to say that because he can't see you. But where did you see Blind Charlie?

I see you. Where did you see Blind Charlie? I'm just teasing. Where did you see Blind Charlie? sunset and highland oh he's back out there his old stomping grounds i didn't think i didn't see that's my way to work i wonder what he shows uh thanks for the you know it's funny uh thanks for the tip-off it's always people always love seeing blind charlie in the wild usually out there promoting our show i think he's got the greatest idea he's ever brought to us ali and listen to

this because if we can make this happen this would be the most exposure our show would ever get on a national if not international level listen to this playing a little bit of uh podcast ketchup uh today and i don't know why but this thought popped in my head and it was forrest gump and the part where he ran back and forth across the country and i think i want to do that with the pine alley show i i don't think i can do it until i get a kidney because dialysis would be a problem so he needs a kidney but if he gets a kidney he claims that he will walk across the country supporting our show the entire way, which that's one of those feel-good stories

that everyone has to cover, even if they don't care about us at all. Has anyone ever done that? I'm sure people have walked across the country, but I don't think a blind guy's done it. No way. That's the best part about being blind, is when you do it, you're the first to do it.

And we can just tell him he did it even if he didn't make it out of California. Just walking in circles. Yeah, you're in New York. Congratulations. You've done it. Hey, welcome to New York. We just go around and went different states.

Well, yee-haw, you're in Texas. Guy's just on a treadmill moving, going nowhere. It's like soaring. Something that's in my head, and I think that's going to be a bucket list item, is to walk from Los Angeles to New York. Look, if we can make that happen for this guy. The headline, blind guy thinks he walks to New York, is great. He almost hit us 1,000 steps a day.

With a Klein Alley show sign, wearing the Waldo outfit. So, we'll see how it goes. I'm just putting that out there. I hope I can make that happen one of these days. Peace. Have a great Friday. Listen, I believe that if, I mean, that guy's done so much for us and the listeners and everything, that if we can get him a kidney, I don't know how hard that is to get a kidney.

Well, I think he's been on the list for a long time. Aren't you on that list for years sometimes? But he... Does anyone have a spare kidney? I think we all have spare kidneys, don't we? Well, I'm pregnant. Nose goes. Nose goes.

No, thank you. All right, Johnny. Johnny. Oh, my kidneys are too good, man. Guy's getting a stupid kidney. Elmar. Wait, doesn't it have to be a match or something like that? You can't just say, okay, here's...

No matches. No matches. What did you think of the matches? I tried. I already tried. I tried. We're a different blood type. Oh, got it.

I have seeing blood. I don't think that matters. Not seeing blood. It's very different. So I'm a kidney that can see. It's not going to work. Yeah, so. But if someone out there is a better person than we are and has an extra kidney, listen

to this for a second. because you'd be a part of maybe the greatest story ever told. You help Blind Charlie get a kidney. Blind Charlie takes that new kidney, and he walks across the country supporting our show. I do think we can make this happen. And if someone out there donates a kidney, I will donate a pair of shoes

so that Blind Charlie can have nice, comfortable shoes while he walks. I'll buy him lunch. Or Allie will take care of one of his lunches. Because, $10 maximum. So, listen, I think that this is a beautiful thing that we could really do. Hold on one second. Andy, you're on KROQ. Good morning.

Hi, Andy. Hey, how's it going? Colin, I just listened to Blind Charlie say for kidney and for walking, you need to get Metta behind it. That's a good idea because he can't see, but then Metta would be able to see for him. Right. And help guide him. They're trying to work on that now anyway. Yeah, they would help.

Those glasses would guide him across the country. They would totally do it. And all they'd have to do is give him a kidney? I think they would finance something. Wow. That's a good idea. More importantly, Andy, do you have an extra kidney we could have? Mine aren't in great shape, so.

How do you know that, though? Better shape than his, I bet. It's still an upgrade. Yeah. So sometimes you go from, like, a used car to a less used car, and you're like, all right, well, it's still not a new car. It's newer. It's a 2008. All right, hold on one second.

This guy's, Vanessa, take that list on my desk that says prom babies. Get rid of it. We're going to focus on this now. New priority. New priority is how do we get Blind Charlie a kidney so he can walk across the country supporting our show? You can't crowdfund a kidney, right? You just have to have someone willing to donate it? I think you could crowdfund an animal kidney,

but the problem with the animal stuff is he's already done the pig blood or the cow blood, and it started backfiring on him or something. Right, so it needs to be human. So we've got a human kidney, but I promise you someone out there, and even if there's an old, I don't know the deal on this, because Omar, didn't Bia give a kidney to someone once? He did. He gave it to our old engineer or head of engineering, Scott Mason.

Right, so does he have it? We got a couple of years out of it. Oh, and that's it? That's it? Yeah, unfortunately, yeah. Can he have it back? I don't think so. I think once the recipient passes, it's done-zo.

But Bean has a second kidney, right? Bean is, yeah, he's functioning pretty well from what I hear on just the one. Well, let's just take that other kidney then. I mean, he seems nice enough to give kidneys. Maybe, let's call him up. I don't think you can have no kidneys. Well, he can go on dialysis like Charlie. Yeah.

I think that's really hard. Probably not easy, but. Hey, if I'm having multiples, which I'll find out later today, Blind Charlie can have one of theirs Oh yeah, if Allie's having twins She's going to body farm the second kid Yeah, there might be like four to six kidneys I don't know how many a man

Oh man, that'd be amazing Alright, well anyway, we've got a new goal for the show Let's make that man walk across the country If you have a kidney, and all kidding aside All kidney aside If you have a kidney An extra kidney Please, please

Let us know and get it to us So that we can try to get it into Blind Charlie So we can walk across the country and support the show And if you thought that was bad, oh, just wait till you hear this. And now, it's time for A Moment with Kevin. And Vanessa. She kind of, you know, she goes to her own drum, whatever that expression is. She goes to her own drum.

She drums to her own... Her mic. Thanks for helping out there, Vanessa. That's good. That was A Moment with Kevin. And Vanessa. In an hour, exactly, we get you on that bus to Santa Barbara to see Royal Otis. If you can't wait around to win your way onto the bus,

we have another pair of bonus tickets to give you with Postmaster Johnny coming up in a round. If Johnny doesn't know, that'll be next hour. So be ready to call in, play, and win. Right now, though, your news. Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD News. Well, a while back, they had charged the guy who allegedly started the Palisades fire. They did a lengthy trial, jury deliberated, and after all that, the result left us all feeling like the end of every White Lotus season, where you just stare at a screen and go, what did I just see? Was any of that worth my time?

The jury is deadlocked. They cannot come to a decision. They said there are jurors that are unwilling to change their opinion and they don't know what else they can do at this point. the problem is that a lot of the evidence is circumstantial there's not physical evidence proving that he started the fire yes he was the only person in that area at the time the fire started but the defense is saying well it could have just been an errant firework from a different new year's eve celebration that just made its way right over to where he was standing so they said they're going to keep trying until they either reach a verdict or give up didn't he have a history of arson too or is that a different guy well i think there was also a lot of um anger

towards the palisades community that he had that he was angry at rich people and there was i think he lived in the palisades for a very short time don't quote me on that because i haven't super researched the case or anything but i think there was history there for sure and i think yes there's it's only circumstantial evidence but if you put two and two together that was the only person there when the fire started but of course when you're these people that just agreed to do jury duty you got suckered into jury duty now it's one of the biggest cases in you know this this the county there's a lot on the line prosecution now you're arguing with the same people they got to convince you that without a shadow of a doubt that whatever they're trying to convince you of is

what happened and if they and if there's enough doubt there or it's a reasonable doubt right so So is it reasonable that an errant firework from another place just flew over to where he was? Probably not. That's not reasonable to me. Seems like the odds are one in a bazillion. But then you also have to think about, even if he did start the fire, should he be blamed for the entire Palisades fire? Because they came and put that fire out, but it was still smoldering for a week.

And eventually, when the winds kicked up, that's what caused the Palisades fire. Why don't we bring that guy in here? We've got the lie detector guy coming in. That'd be great. Solve this problem once and for all. Get in here, buddy. Get in here. We get John Grogan.

Did you light the fire? Yeah, all right. Great. Get him out of here. He's sitting there going, guys, I'm nervous. Ooh, what are these guys? That's how we solve this once and for all. So the government may think that the penny's useless, but the quarter, that still holds

value. That's worth bending over for. They are releasing $250,000. You would give up your ass for a quarter, Allie? I would bend over and pick it up. Oh. What about a dime? I don't think that's what you meant.

That's worth bending over. You think bending over means giving up my life? No, giving up your ass. You're like, I would bend over for a quarter. I thought that's what your price was for someone to pay to have sex with you. Oh, like I would let someone do it? No. Like in prison?

Yeah, like Hallie's like, all right, I'll do it, but I need a quarter. That's what I thought you meant. But would you? Well, yeah, she would. She's so cheap. It depends on the quarter. If it's one of these, maybe. So these are special.

They're calling them Semi-Quincentennial 2026 Declaration of Independence Quarters. Ooh, fancy. Catchy, short. Fancy quarters. These ones will specifically say 4th of July on them, And this is part of a bigger release of semi-quincentennial 2026 Declaration of Independence quarters where they have all these kind of different things on them. So they have one with Thomas Jefferson. They have one with Abraham Lincoln.

They have one of the Gettysburg Address. They have one with the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Mayflower. So they're all kind of representative of America's history. But these ones with the 4th of July thing on it, those are the ones that are worth almost, like they say, could be up to 10 times its original value. I wonder if anybody ever said this about the Bicentennial quarter. Because those are worth like nothing. Yeah, I mean, probably. I remember when they originally came out.

When they started making those different quarters for the states, you'd come across one of them and you'd be like, I don't want to brag, but I think I may be a millionaire. And then you'd like look it up and it was like, this is worth exactly 25 cents. Yeah, I know. Some of those quarters look more special. You're like, this looks different. This must be worth something. It's worth nothing at all. Some of them are worth less than $0.25.

So it's interesting that they think the penny is worthless, but they're willing to do all this extra stuff to quarters. So they still obviously care. Well, listen, it's actually not a bad, from a business standpoint, if they actually do really limit them and they do a limited, think of like basketball cards, baseball cards, any collectibles. Interest and change. Yeah, if you start throwing a few one-of-ones, there's only 10 of these being made. Well, they're trying to do that with stamps, too. That's a real snooze. But people pay money for stamps, too.

There's, like, stamp collectors, real ones, still out there. I know. At a recent Marlins game, they did a bring your dog to the game day. Everyone likes to bring your dog everywhere these days. And there was a dog that was, it has gone viral because this dog was watching another dog eat a hot dog at the game. This dog, like, this little foofy white dog was chowing down on a hot dog. The owner was giving it a hot dog, was enjoying it. And there's just another dog watching it all happen.

and he's got a little jersey on and he just looks so sad. Now they're trying to make that dog the official Marlins mascot. More tonight on the dog at Monday's Marlins game. The one who didn't get the hot dog, the one who had to watch another dog enjoy his hot dog. The Marlins had put out a wanted poster promising a dream day for that disrespected pooch, and now fans are reposting the dog as the Marlins' new mascot. I like it. He likes it.

I love the hot dog. You're not the only one. We had our very own Bring Your Dog to Work Day yesterday here at KROQ, and it did not go great. We'll get into that this hour on the show. Here we go.
