Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 1- ADD News, Halloween Candy Ranked and MORE

Episode Date: October 8, 2026

We'll get into an episode of Klein Alley's show in just a moment. But in the meantime, let's tell you about our absolute favorite place on the planet. Yep, that would be San Bernardino International Airport, where you can go through the airport process without waiting in long lines and overpaying for parking. Quick connections to the Bay Area and the world plus ski and snowboard in Provo from San Bernardino all winter long. Every other airport, you're going to be in long TSA lines. You're going to be miserable. You're going to say, oh, I got to get there two, three hours before my flight, not at San Bernardino International Airport.

And now we send you on a direct flight into our podcast, which starts right now. Hey, what's going on, Crananelli? Are you ready? Who are back? Hello, Cline and Allie, you little bitch. Cline and Allie, it's just okay. Just don't like saying about you too much. Good morning, everybody.

Hey, what up, Clarnet Alley? Oh, sweet David Stake, did you see that? Be about Clown Alley show. Let's get the still shouted. The show started. The show started. We are live in Los Angeles. Three, two, one!

And here we go. 106.7, KROQFN and H.D. Pasadena, Sanjua, Orange County. This is the world famous. Welcome to your pre-brand and good morning. It is K-Roc. Today is Thursday, or a BF. Thursday. If you want to enjoy yourself some breakfast for dinner, get in the latest trend.

The greatest thing to happen to dinner since Taco Tuesday. That's officially underway. yet again. More people every week joining it. You can tag us in anything you're eating. If you have breakfast for dinner, please share it with us. Or better yet, have some breakfast for breakfast. Save the leftovers. And boom, leftover.

Be up Thursday later today. You know, I'm curious if I should finally try this. I haven't tried it yet. Yeah, because you're a hater. Because you hate breakfast. Well, I just, I enjoy breakfast, but I enjoy it at breakfast time. And dinner, I really want a big dinner. And I feel like breakfast foods are just kind of limiting.

But the throat goat is coming into town today. Oh, your mom's here? If I should BF Thursday with my mom. Oh, she's probably every day for her is a BFD's day. You know what I'm saying? She loves that. Oh, yeah. I know what you're saying.

Ali's picking it up. Ali's mom is the throat goat in every possible way. Steve needs his medicine. You better believe it. He's not going to get it this weekend. They're separated. Oh, no. He must have probably had a real like going off to war situation last night.

Well, he did say we were FaceTiming yesterday and he said, have fun with my wife. And I was like, what? Steve is the best, dude. I think he does it on purpose to make me uncomfortable. It probably does. But that's Allie's third dad, if you're keeping track. And he is well taken care of by the throat code.

And she does tell us from time to time. And I know it's Ali's mom, so it should be weird for Ali. But I guess it's not. I'm more normalized, unfortunately. She really prioritizes taking care of Steve, which... Especially in hotel scenarios. Yeah. Oh, man. She probably just has to come busy.

get a break, so she didn't get a lockjaw. Yeah, they even went to a hotel that was not far from their house recently. They did like a two-day trip, like an hour away. And I'm like, I bet it was just because it's a change of location, which means double the sex. Poor mom. You should probably have an ice pack waiting for when she gets here. Gross. Just let her take a breather.

I mean, you may want to just give her, like, a mushed up food for a while. Well, the only ice packs I have are like bluey-shaped, so I hope she likes those. She knows blueie. She knows all the blueys. Bluey, blowies. She got them all. She's the best. We got a good show plan for you today, believe it or not. We will place some bets on everything that we can expect with this El Nino. Will it be the disaster that everyone says it will be or not?

We will go ahead and wager on that a little bit later in the show today. Give you tanks of gas for listening. And Generation Wars returns. Bragging rights for you and your entire generation. Plus, we have spots for you to hop on that standby boarding list so we can send you internationally to a castle in Ireland for some Fontaine's, D.C. and it all starts with some of Ali's money which will be coming up in moments during a little round of Ali knows the news

after no doubt, don't care of. Easy $100 of Ali's money could be yours on a thrifty Thursday. It's the best day of the week to take the money out of the hands of an El Chippo. Boy, she hates parting with it, but that's one of many things we have in store for you today.

If you want free gas, we have that for you as well as we say, tanks for listening. And one person, a very special tanks for listening. Hey, guys, I just wanted to call and let you know. I'm officially celebrating my one-year slogoverstery with you guys.

one-year slog aversary. Well, happy slog aversary. We don't... Happy birthday wheelchair. That's not really appropriate here, but thank you for sharing. I mean, I think it might be. Happy birthday wheelchairs, is what we say to everyone on their slog-aversary. He's been listening to the show and slogging along for one year, which doesn't mean much

for some people that have been with us much longer. But, hey, if you're a new listener, as of today, yesterday, this week, whatever, this guy has slogged for one entire year. And he sounds like he is beaten up, doesn't he? I was working graveyard shift and came over to the days of exactly a year. ago. And once I found your station and your show, I love you guys right off the bat. You guys are hilarious. You guys have entertained me every morning since I started working in the morning side and I appreciate you guys. I just wanted to give you guys a huge shout out. So David, I love you guys.

Hey, happy slog anniversary to you, sir. Congratulations. It's a big honor. He definitely sounds weathered. It's like, you know, and they show a picture of a president before office and after office. I wonder what the before and after Klein Ali shows slog pictures are like. He also works graveyard shift. I mean, that's people who work weird hours too and you know this. Start looking like who you work with, which are dead people. Right. And I think that they've even done research to realize that if you're kind of working those off hours, you're going completely against your circadian rhythm that you are,

your whole body is pretty much falling apart inside. Internally, everything's all messed up. I don't keep hearing about circadian rhythm. Why can't our bodies figure it out? We can't. There's some people got to work at night. All right, bodies? Get it together.

Look, your body's figured anything out. And I know you're pregnant now, so you have that as an excuse. but, I mean, if you were not pregnant right now, you think that between just the regular body, you at your best body, which is wonky this and wonky that, and five head and everything else, your body has not figured it out. No, I think my body is still in shock of itself.

And even, you know, there's some people, like, they'll go to the East Coast for a couple of days, and then they come back, and they're like, I'm thrown off for weeks afterwards, and that's just a three-hour time shift. You don't think throughout evolution, maybe our bodies should have adapted a little bit to the fact that we travel now.

It doesn't take us seven weeks to go across sea, to visit a new place. But I think the circadian rhythm, and I don't know, I'm sure Jake will correct me and say, you're wrong, idiot, and he won't even know the answer. But I think it has more to do with like the moon or something. You're wrong, idiot. See? I knew he'd say that.

Is it the moon? I think it is. I think it probably is. Do I need to make more moon water? No, definitely that's not the answer. But I think that's the reality is if you are one of these people, and that's the part that's so frustrating is every stupid TikTok expert says, you want to get ahead in life. You need to get up at 4 a.m. every day and look at the sun and journal and all that crap.

We do that. Look at us. Yeah. We're doing all that stuff. And is it not working here? No. It's like werewolves. What are you talking about?

Congratulations. Let's not downplay that guy's accomplishment. A one-year slog anniversary. That's a big deal. If you would like to call us right now and take Allie's money, the phone numbers 800, 5201067. If you'd rather win a trip around the world where you can screw up your circadian rhythm for weeks, then listen closely to this. Five questions, 100 bucks off for grabs, bragging rights for life, and an invitation back to the alley knows the news tournament of champions. That's all in your future.

If you're not on the phone right now, you don't necessarily care. You can play along just by trying to answer the questions by yelling at your radio. And we say good morning to Haley and Anaheim, who would like a shot at Allie's money. Good morning, Haley. Hey, good morning, guys. What do you do for a job? So I'm actually an elementary school art teacher. Oh, right.

The art department. Heavily funded, I imagine. First to get cut. Yeah. Exactly, exactly. Got to save a buck. What do you want to do? Let's just go ahead and cut the arts program.

That's what they always say. Which is that one person. Yeah, it's too bad. Well, Haley, we appreciate what it is that you do. We'd love to give you $100 of Allie's money. And because you're a teacher, you're probably so generous. She'll take that money and put it right back into the school supplies because I'm sure you are underfunded. So we hope you win.

We hope Allie loses. She will leave the K Rock Studios. Five questions about things in the news. Do better than Allie and instantly become $100 richer. As she leaves the K. Rock Studios now, get the hell out of here. Haley's round can officially begin. And here we go. Knows the News.

Question number one. Hershey is adding a disclaimer to their chocolate peanut butter pumpkins for the first time ever this Halloween season. What does the disclaimer now say on the packaging? The disclaimer is that the candy is not as big as it is on the package. Ah, not shown actual size.

I'll write that down. Can we go to question number two? Question two. A new world record has been set for a 2,856 pound what? Ooh, a fish. A fish. That would make Vanessa very happy. Fish.

That's a good guess. We've got a question number three right now. Dodgers, moving on to the NLCS for the third consecutive year. And who will they be facing? Oh, my goodness. They will be facing the Mets, the New York Mets. Mets really wish. We go to question number four.

An American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing. After six out of eight what on the plane stopped working mid-flight? Ooh, engines. And finally, we go to question number five. Gatorade is announced a new flavor. Seems kind of weird, but they are releasing it anyway. What is the new flavor of Gatorade that is coming to the masses? The new flavor they're announcing,

is going to be ube flavor, like purple ube. Everyone loves that purple ube stuff. All right, bring Allie and we'll score it together. Hopefully you win. We'd love to give you $100 of Ali's money. Haley's a teacher and our teacher doing the good work.

They're in Anaheim, California, and now Allie's in here, growing a life inside of her also doing some sort of work too. Not the Lord's work because he wouldn't stand for this, but regardless, we're proud of you. No, God hates me. Question number one, Allie.

Let's start with this. Can you read your writing? Nope. Hershey's candy has added a disclaimer to their chocolate peanut butter pumpkin for the first time ever this Halloween season on the packaging. What does the disclaimer now say? Probably some kind of an allergen update. Mm, allergen. May have peanuts? You think they need to put that on the peanut butter? They have peanuts and chocolate?

That is incorrect. She said that there's something to do with the size of the product, not as big as it actually appears. Shrinklation? But you guys forgot about this lawsuit that was going on. where someone sued because there was not an actual face on the pumpkin. I thought that was for Reese. Oh, it's for the Reese's pumpkin peanut butter cups. Yep. And they have now put a disclaimer on all packaging that says,

carving, carved face is not actually present on pumpkin. That's so many words for that little bag. Because people were very disappointed when they opened it up and they said there's no eyes and mouth on this thing. How they just say like picture may vary? That's what they could have said. So wordy. Got a question number two. No one gets the point.

Question two. A new world record has been set for a 2,856 pound watt. Wow. World record. This is big. World record. I mean, I know a pumpkin is always a big thing around now, but I would imagine that would be way heavier.

Let's go with a giant hot dog. You're such an idiot. You thought a pumpkin would be heavy. heavier, so you think there's a 2,000-pound hot dog? Oh, you said 2,000? Okay, sorry, Pumpkin. No, it's too late. No, no, no, pumpkin.

I thought you said 200. The correct answer is pumpkin, you idiot. Okay, no, I meant pumpkin. No, you can't, you change your answer to the hot dog. I misheard you. You said it was 200 pounds, I thought. No offense, Johnny, but that is the new dumbest thing that's been said on the show. Congratulations, Allie.

You're the winner of next year's dumboff. Okay. We move on. She did not get that right either. She guessed fish. So sadly, we were able to play the sound effect of Vanessa, but we could not give her the point. Go to question number three right now.

The Dodgers are moving to the NLCS for the third consecutive year. Right. Who will they be facing? The Bruins. Nice. Oh, boy. The Milwaukee. Wait a minute.

I'm sorry, I can't accept that. The Brewers. Brewers! That's what I meant. Oh, my God. You've got it. Come on. You know what I'm talking about. The Bruins are a hockey team from Boston.

Okay. Right. Right, that's Milwaukee. Sorry, I can't accept it, Ellie. You are having a real bad round today. This teacher is afloat. With no correct answers, she is still afloat. She said the Mets, and somehow she was still closer.

Okay, no, in Milwaukee. I'm going to say she's closer because she named a baseball team at least. Give her the point. You know that I know it. You named a hockey team. Hey, I say, let me check with Judge Omar. Judge Omar? Yeah, give the teacher the point.

I agree. Why are you giving her more points? Because she was closer. She at least named the right sport. You named the wrong sport. The Bruins. Oh, my God. Question number four.

Allie's down one with two questions left. This just got exciting. An American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing. After six out of eight what? Stopped working mid-flight. Flight attendants? Ah, they went on strike. It's a good time to do it.

We're the only guy that's working is the gay guy who does flips in the aisles. Fine, guys. I'll do the beverage cart. That is incorrect. A funny concept, but wrong. She guessed engines, which would also be pretty scary. I don't think the planes have eight engines. They decided they had to land after six of the bathrooms

immediately stopped working. Two operational bathrooms, the other six, I think, started bubbling up, which is a terrible thing to happen. I didn't know there were that many bathrooms. That's a lot. Well, I know that the ones... I know that the ones in the front of the plane were not allowed to use. With that little curtain.

Yeah, can't go by the curtain. So here we go. Going to this final question, Allie is down one. This has gotten very exciting now. And we go to this last fifth and final question. Gatorade has announced a new flavor. Weird flavor, but they've announced. it anyway. They're releasing it to the masses.

For the first time ever, Gatorade, we'll have what flavor now? Apple cinnamon. She said, Ube. But the correct answer is they're going to go with a banana-flavored Gatorade. So did that mean I lose? So that means at the end of five, with a score of one to nothing.

I spent pumpkin and brewers. Allie loses to the teacher. You get $100, Haley. Congratulations. It's Ali's money. And, Ali, what must you shamefully admit after a disgustingly stupid round of Ali knows the news. My name is Ali, I'm an idiot

and this incredible art teacher knows the news. Haley, congratulations. Hold on for your money. Thank you guys. Thanks for starting your day with us here on KROQ. Jay Rock, we are Klein Alley's show. If you need us, you can call 8005201060-1067. There's lots of ways to get involved. There's also a goat line for you. That number is 844-9-56 G-O-A-T.

You know, you guys made fun of the fact that I was talking about pumpkin inflation and how everything's gotten really expensive, especially Halloween stuff. And then there's this call. You know, I've always talked about the prices of candy going up and the prices of cocoa going up. So crazy to think that Klein was actually kind of right in predicting the candy shortage that it's happening. We might actually need to bring on the Halloween salad. Salad night, baby. Bag of salad is still cheap.

I remember salad night. That was such a great moment. That's when my kids officially lost trust in me, and it's been downhill ever since. You know, I do think that we're going to see worse candy this time. I think that people are going to cheap out and they're going to do, even right down the hall, they have baskets that seemingly have candy in them, and I walk up, and it's all gummies and twizzlers.

A lot of splendor packets. It's a lot of sour candy. Yeah, it is whack. I want chocolates. But this is the thing. Let's be honest. Average person goes to a store, and they see, I've got to get, I don't know, I'm going to have a lot of trick-or-treaters,

so you go, I've got to buy 100 pieces of candy or whatever. And you can look at it and go, do I care about most of these strange kids? They're just neighborhood kids. Some of them probably not even neighborhood kids. They're just neighborhood jumping, right? Neighborhood hopping, yeah, which I think is frowned upon. But you get judged.

You get judged. You totally get judged. No, no, no, no, no. Forever, that house is going to be known as the Raisin House. You don't do that. You don't do that. But I'm just saying, don't you think. Or the sweet-tart house, even worse.

Sweet-tarts. I don't want to be sweet-tarded. We actually already are the sweet-tart. Oh, what? No, no, no. We don't get trick-or-treaters. But I do recall last year, actually the last two years in a row, the neighborhood that we trick or treat in.

There's one house that gives away not candy. They give you coupons for a Wendy's Frosty. Oh, that's interesting. That's not a... You know what? It's a better thing long term, but no kids are going to appreciate that in the moment. No, and do I use them? No, I don't. So it's cool in the moment where I'm like,

wow, a whole frosty, but who cares? So I don't want to go to the Frosty house. It's a high-ticket item, but you can't eat that coupon. I mean, you could eat the coupon. It's a cop-out. Just hand people coupons? I had a neighbor that gave out coupons for a scoop of ice cream better plate, but I didn't have a car. I didn't get to the place. Right. It's a coupon is just like, hey, I owe you something cool,

but you do all the work. But wouldn't you agree that most people, if given the choice of I can spend $10 on this bag of candy that's all gummies and whatever else where I can spend $20 on this mix that's going to have chocolates and stuff like that. Most people, the average person, especially as everyone's cutting back on whatever they can come back on, is going to go with just the cheaper, how can I get the most amount of candy? I literally look at the number on the bag now. I just go, Oh, this bag is 180 pieces. This bag has 130. Oh, I don't look at the piece count.

I look at the actual, you know, what is it comprised of? I used to, and then I shifted. And I think that like 100 grand is one of the most underrated can't. You only see them around Halloween. It's a great candy bar. Everyone loves 100 grand. I even pick through and try to get the good ones out before. If my kids bring back those, I always take them.

Those are the best ones. And those are not, they never went mainstream. They never got popular. They never were a big font band, the 100 grand bar. They're punk rock. They are very punk rock. They've always been punk rock. And I appreciate that about that.

They're no commercial for 100 grand bars on TV. They're just kind of sitting there under the surface. They know their place and they're happy about it. But when people get them, that's like the grab, that's the thing you grab. All that other highly marketed stuff, Snickers and Hers. Those are skippers. Oh, I love a Snickers. Skippers.

You know, I also think that Butterfinger has been kind of an underrated candy. I don't see it very often, but when I actually get one, I forget how good those things are. Heath bars, that's where it's at. Yeah, but I love me. These are all the outliers. See, all the ones we're mentioned right now are not the, they're not the big five. They're all the outliers. And so you don't see them as much because even when you get those ratio bags, you know, it's all messed up the way they do

the ratio, but they'll do 90% of the kind of the mainstreams. And they give you just a few of the ones we're mentioning. Oh, it's like the Costco mentality. If you get those like soda waters and stuff, they give you two good flavors and they give you a thousand of the crappiest flavor. Right. Because they got to load them. Exactly.

But you know who's ruined this is Haribo, the gummy bears. Somehow they scoop their way in and now it's just, you know, it's just. all gummy bear culture. And I'm like, everyone already has fruit snacks and gummy bears in their house. They don't need to go

house to house to get those. But gummy's cheap. Gummies cheaper to mass produce. I don't care about it. Even the best gummy bear of my life, I'm like, eh. But you don't think

Sour Patch Kids are a great candy? You don't? What? I think they're fine, but a sour candy is a whatever to me. What about Skittles? Whatever.

You can't say that. I don't want to taste that rainbow. Get out of my face. Allie's homofoeful. It's a homoful. What about that? What are you guys' feelings on the Tutsi rolls? Tootsie rolls, you know, it's funny because my family really loves Tutsi rolls,

and I think they are rock hard and terrible. But Tutsi roll people. You're eating stale ones then. Those are disgusting. Old people can. Yeah, it's an old people can. Yeah, I agree. Or I'll tell you, like, occasionally go to, like, a sushi restaurant that has, like, a little bowl of Tutsi rolls by the...

And they've been there for like seven years. Yeah, they've been there. What about the Starburst Gamble? What's the gamble? Oh, like, you don't know what flavor you're getting? Yeah, you can get double yellows, you can get double yellows, you can get double Double yellows is a, yeah. That's terrible.

It's like walking to oncoming traffic. What about our Dahlia Ranchers? It's the worst. You open up that. Oh my God. Just open the yellows and step in distress. The Starburst game. It's over.

If I had gotten two pinks, my life would have changed. No one never gets two pinks. I'll bet you. I've gotten two pinks before. B.S. No one's ever getting. You never get a pink and a red. You always get like a, if it's a double, it's always a double yellow or a double orange. What a letdown that is.

Ruined Halloween. Now I'd rather have salad night. At least that's not a gamble. That's true. I forgot how many times I've been screwed in my life by the old Starburst gamble. I'm having a bad mood. Yeah, yeah. Stop making those.

You know, you're a Starburst? Make those packages see-through so at least I know my depression before I open it up. It's like finding out. Then no one would pick them. Every Halloween you've lost the Academy Award. There's the random yellow people who like it. Oh, man.

Well, anyway, start loading up now. I bought my first big bag. I've already eaten half of it already. So it's time to load up again. And remember, it's going to be more expensive this year. We call that pumpkin inflation. No one else does, but we do. And by we, I mean I, and I'm sticking with it.

Only Klein. The offspring on the world famous Carol Q. Trick and treating will be replaced by Salad Night. No! They didn't like that. That was the throwback to the salad night when my kids stopped loving me for the very first time. That's when your kids were still being fooled by you. Now they're like, you're recording.

And they just try and take your phone and throw it across the room. Yeah, well, lately they try to throw the toilet. So that's the whole thing there. Getting bullied by my own children. Your house sounds great. A lot of people are saying, Allie, how dare you? What do you mean when you say random yellow people?

All right. I was talking about the people who love yellow starbursts. Racist, Allie. I was not. That's you being racist for interpreting it that way. It's not me. I'm looking at a ton of text pouring through. I'm talking about the people who love yellow starbers.

The yellow lovers. Regardless, Omar, if you're not already pulling the clip of Ali saying random yellow people. Oh, stop it. Yeah, I'm in it. We see it's racist. That's right. Sure is. Well, that's your interpretation of my innocent words.

Well, regardless. I'm an innocent, not racist woman. Ali is, uh, Ali. Sorry, I couldn't get through that. No one's going to say that. You couldn't even convince yourself. I'm saying that. We take a quick break now, sadly, but we return in a moment with your 80D news.

Keep in mind, the person who will be delivering that news just got a score of zero in questions about the news. So, you know, take the news with a grain of salt today. I got two of them right. basically. Except you didn't. You thought there was a 2,000-pound hot dog that's of a world record. Wouldn't that be great, though?

And you called the Brewers, the Bruins. I did, and I apparently did that twice, but... We'll get into the news after this. Then we have lots of other stuff to get to today, including your spots on that standby boarding list, as mentioned earlier. You can watch the show as we are streaming right now on YouTube. Thank you to Ginger Justin for keeping us afloat there,

at least for the time being. We will be back after this quick break on K.R. Tell Rock, Klein Alley's show. Get into your news in just a moment. But first, a lot of people concerned about what happened to Alley yesterday, getting scammed, trying to get parking at the Mumford & Sun Show by the forum. It's not the first time she's been scammed trying to buy parking. She tries to pre-buy the parking to save up a couple of bucks

and always ends up showing up at the lot and being told, sorry, there's no spot for you here. I was not even not even saving money this time. It was still $100. A lot of people can relate. I think we can all agree it has gotten completely out of control. It's ridiculous. Parking has now gotten more expensive than the actual events we go to. It's not fair.

Allie, hi, I feel so bad for you. What you're doing is just trying to save a dollar, hence some pennies, and I really do so bad. What I want to do is reimburse you for the parking yet to pay for the Mumford and Suns show. If you go ahead and just give me your checking account number, your full address, your social security number. I'm going to take care of it for you. That's a lot of information. Okay? Thank you.

Thank you, sir. Thanks. I mean, no problem. That's very nice of that guy. That guy must be from vivid C. Probably. And by the way, just so you know, we have a solution to your other problem, which is that, you know, parking, especially in that area by the forum, sofi, etc. I'm going to be back there on Saturday night. Almost all. Well, we may have a solution for you. Listen to this. And you need to hear this quickly.

Hi, Ali. Mom tender here. Happy 30 Thursday. Quinn, happy, be a Thursday. I live in El Secondo. So, Ellie, if you ever want to park at my house to go to any concert events, I'll drive you over. I only bartend two or three nights a week. So let me know. You got a place to park. And they'll save a good amount of money. El Segundo, you got a spot waiting for you from Mom Tender. Now, that would probably take, what, 10, 20 minutes?

Somehow you'll find a way to mess it up. I have a feeling regardless of what your plan is going to be, it's not going to go well. And the amount of people that reached out that have their own little hidden spots. Oh, I have people sending me addresses park on the street in this one location, then take an Uber there. Another person said that they found a lot on ParkWiz originally. but they accidentally didn't pay, and they realized there's some kind of glitch in the system, and at this one parking lot, they've now used it for free over 100 times. You know, the greatest move you need to do is park your car wherever you want to,

and then pull out of the trunk of your car one of those raffle boxes that says, win this car, and just put it next to the car. Oh, that's a great idea. And people will assume it's some sort of a car giveaway, and it's probably supposed to be there. At the Kia Forum, not a Kia. Yeah, yeah, you have the right key on it, but, you know, you just park right in the middle. Just right key on my death, my old ass test. Yeah, write it right here right there.

That'll fool the people. Let's get to your news. Grab your adderol. It's time for ADD News. You know there was a time about five or ten years ago where there was a real anti-sitting campaign going on. Sitting was the new smoking. And if you spent long periods sitting down,

it meant an early death for you. Now we have wearables telling us to stand up and move around every hour. But the TSA is saying, screw that. Recently this new policy took effect that took away the chairs of all the TSA ID checkers at the airport. And now they are not happy. They are fighting back.

They want their chairs back and they want your support. Federation of government employees, which represents TSA officers, is protesting the agency's decision to take away their chairs, saying our officers scream millions of people a day and they do it right, sitting or standing. Some agents are now asking for the public's help by signing a letter urging to TSA to bring the chairs back. So if we really want to support our,

our TSA agents, we can sign this letter to get their chairs back in the airport so they can sit down every once in a while. They're so friendly every TSA employee that I don't have to count. Look at all they've done for us. All those non-smiles and all those look straight in the camera and shut up. Yeah, but that's what they're supposed to do. I get it. They should be a little bit intimidating. I mean, if you're standing at that job for hours at a time and I mean, there's some guys and people there that are like ripped, but a lot of them are, you know, bigger people that need to sit down every once in a while. I mean, I don't think size of person matters here.

I think the comfort matters and the idea is can you do your job as well if you are sitting as opposed to standing. Like, I think in that particular job where you're just checking pretty much IDs most of the day and making sure the face matches the person, I think you could probably do that job equally the same. And I know that they've figured out with whatever testing they did that they thought the TSA agents were more alert when they were standing. And I don't know if that's true for just the people that greet you. Does the person have to sit and watch the X-ray machine also? Did they lose a chair as well? Do they have to stand?

The X-ray person, they get a permanent chair. Yeah, they just sit the whole time. Maybe they got rid of that. Maybe they thought they were too likely to let stuff slide through. And they have to stand as well because you're more alert if you stand. You know, it would be funny if they had to replace with all those little treadmill desks. Oh, man. All the TSA people are walking.

Who's got... Vanessa has a standing desk here at work. I think it's just sitting desk, but it looks like a standing desk because she's so short. Johnny went to a standing desk at work as well. And I think that there was something where corporations felt obligated. They had to pay for it. Because if you get back problems or if you have health problems as a result of sitting, it's their fault. I'm a big sitter.

I love sitting. I sit to go number one sometimes. Sit to go number two most times. Yeah, if you've been standing for a long period, I see you start getting antsy. I love a good sit. Love a good sit. I feel really bad. That's why I don't think you mind your car.

I love being in my car. I love anything that involves sitting. I can't stand up. I'm in my car. Sometimes you go to a show and they're like. like, I'm like, where are the chairs? They go, it's a standing only show. I go, well, I'm out of here.

Goodbye. I know. With shows, you know, there's certain songs that everyone stands up for. But you'll remain sitting. I will sit. I would rather not watch the show. I'll watch the guy in front of me stand just so I can sit. The whole show, I'll watch that guy's ass.

The penny is dead. It was killed by the government. Of course, the House and the Senate both passed bills earlier this year, saying they will eliminate the penny once and for all. They have stopped minting it, but now they're really going to stop. And now they're on to the next. They're going to start talking. talking about nickels because nickels costs more to make than they are worth.

It costs 15 cents to make a five cent coin. They're not talking about getting rid of it yet, but they are talking about how can we lower the cost without getting rid of them completely. And I don't know if it's just changing the materials that they're made out of. And does anyone really care about the nickel? I actually came across a nickel on the ground when I was on my way to the gym yesterday. and it was hot. It was 97 degrees outside. I'm pregnant. I'm injured. And I still bent down and picked that sucker up. Yeah, you're probably the last person that cares. I think there are a lot of people that still care about five cents. Five cents, that's a difference.

Yeah, but everything's going to be phased out in four years. There is going to be going to be no more physical, you know, money. At all. It's just not going to exist. You think money's just going to be gone. Great. I don't have to tip the valet. They'll figure out a way. Now they have those little QR codes. Yeah, they figured out a million ways to get paid and tipped. You can try that. That move worked for about a three months. month period. We're like, oh, man, sorry, cashless. I got PayPal, Venmo. They got it all. The guy flips this thing over.

You get 97 QR codes. Yeah, you know who hasn't made the update yet is like housekeeping and the people that bring your old bags to the hotel room. That's not true. Last hotel I stayed out, QR code right there on the table. There was? Yep. I said if you'd like to take care of your... Oh, I even asked. And they were like, no, all we do is cash. Yes, I did.

You didn't ask. I did ask because I was embarrassed because I don't have any cash on me. I just want to make sure that I'm not going to make eye contact with the maid. I'm not tipping on the way out. What's her schedule so I could leave? I didn't tip the housekeep, may I was only here one night? Right. In and Out is one of the few places in L.A. that doesn't do delivery in an age where you can get virtually everything delivered through your front door. The powers that be at your In-N-Out say that it would affect the quality of your food.

So they will never compromise flavor for convenience. However, if you are desperate, apparently there is an unofficial hack going around to get in-and-out delivered. A growing whisper network of unofficial delivery drivers is hawking in-and-out. and they are delivering it to your door through Facebook Marketplace and other, you know, gig platforms. Not necessarily DoorDash and Grubhub because that's too official. And they are... Back market delivery. Yeah.

Unsanctioned people. We met a guy by the name of Delivery Dave. Do you remember that guy? Yeah. And his whole thing was that he would do deliveries from all the places that weren't being serviced by the apps. And internet was one of them. They have examples of people who have paid for this and they pay a lot. One person in California said they paid $100 for.

for two animal-style cheeseburgers and two animal-style fries to be delivered to their home. And another person in L.A. paid $40 for in-and-out to be delivered because they had just gotten out of surgery and couldn't do the drive-through themselves. Look, I think it's a good business. People that list the whole in the marketplace. You want them in or not. A sane amount of money, man. A hundred dollars. How far was it drive? It is a lot.

What the hell? Arizona. It's a lot of waiting and, you know, you have to deal with the line, etc. And it is not hot. I mean, it does affect the quality. A little bit, but, you know, you heat that up with microwave. reports. Krak new hour starts next.
