Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 1- ADD News, Jake's Introduction of The Violent Femmes and MORE

Episode Date: July 29, 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 David Stank, did you see that? Meet the 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. It's Klein Alley Show. Low 6.7.

KROQFM in HD Pasadena. Los Angeles. Orange County. The Sonic Pulse of Los Angeles. This is the world famous K-Rock. Oh yeah, welcome to your K-Rock. Good morning, it is Wednesday. We are at Klein Alley Show.

If you need us, Spawn's text line, open now, 800-520-1067, or 323-TIP-BOLY. If you're nasty, you can hit us up there. That's the local number to interact with the show if you can't get through. I think they all technically come to the same phone bank, so that's just words of warning if you're trying to get through to win stuff from us today, like KROQ's Summer Ticket Blowout, where we have tickets coming up later this morning for you to see Muse and Event Sevenfold. So be ready to win tickets into those shows later this morning from your friends here at KROQ. And this is the Muse show, I believe, that is happening at the Hollywood Bowl.

This is the one that we talked to Matt Bellamy about. Talked to him about specifically. It's the final show of the first leg of their new tour. And he said that they're pulling out all the stops for this one. And there's a lot of weird rules and different things they have to do to accommodate the Hollywood Bowl. But they will be doing stuff that's never been done before. He said there's going to be an insane amount of lasers. So get ready.

It's going to be very exciting. Last night I was actually at Crypto.com, Allie, for a very exciting WNBA game. Oh, how was it? How come you didn't invite me? I should have. You know, when I threw Allie's lesbian bachelorette party, I did all stereotypical lesbian things for her. And one of the things I did was take her to a WNBA game.

And at that time, there was only about six people in the entire arena. The last night was... Oh, how much did you pay for those tickets? Wasn't it like 40 bucks a pop? No, no, no. For your thing, they were $6 each, and it got us a box. I didn't even realize until we got there. They're like, sir, you need to be at VIP.

I'm like, I don't think so. These tickets were $6 each. See, that's doing VIP my stuff. Yeah, so we were in a box for Ali's lesbian bachelorette party. But last night, I'll say that that sport has really taken off. I mean, it was pretty crowded there, but I was surprised because I know there's a lot of arguing about the discrepancy in pay between the NBA athletes and the WNBA athletes.

And I think the discrepancy was the most obvious last night when they had someone come out to attempt to make a half-court shot. And if you've ever been at a Lakers game when that happens, usually I think if they hit it, they get like $50,000. And last night they said to the man, if he hit a half-court shot, he was going to get a T-shirt. Which he went on to airball the shot anyway. And the guy is going to wear the WNBA T-shirt, is he? Yeah, right.

It's like, thanks, I'll give this to my niece. Maybe he missed the shot on purpose, actually. I don't want this T-shirt. And I think that I get it. Not everyone is going to be paid equal, especially because the NBA brings in a lot more money than the WNBA. However, I do think that if any random person can go on the court and hit a half-court shot under that pressure, they should win more than a t-shirt. I feel like the players themselves should try just to get a little upgrade in their salary or something. Yeah, I mean, they would probably just go in and do a layup because that's a force of habit.

But it would be nice if they could occasionally chuck one from half-court. Oh, come on. Parts of it must have been exciting. There is a player on the L.A. Sparks, a tall blonde woman, very attractive, very attractive. Is that Cameron Brink? Yes. Yeah, she's hot. Do you know her name?

Well, I know some of the WNBA players. You do? Yeah. Oh, I've got to study up. Yeah, because a lot of them are real hot. Yeah, Omar got you. And, like, weirdly straight. I got you a poster, Omar, for her.

I think you'd like her. I think it's going to get you into the sport. Oh, okay. Is she wearing those long shorts and a tank top? Yep, that's right. I'm good. She did a half-court shot to get it. Yeah, she earned that shirt.

All the players have to make a half-court shot to earn their jerseys. Do you want bottoms? Start shooting. Before the game. So, anyway, I think, listen, half-court shots. Let's start there for equality, right? That's very woke of me, right, Ali? Yeah, right in the middle, half court.

We will get into a lot of things today on the show, including Jake, who is out on stage introducing Violent Femme, celebrating 45 years of that band. And you can go ahead and place your bets if the intro was good or bad, but we have the audio to prove it. And Dodger was talking about our show. That's right, someone who's currently on the Dodgers was saying things about our show.

And you can also go ahead and put in your bet on if that was good or bad. Or undecided. Was it a janitor or something? slightly above slightly above we'll get into it very special day today as we celebrate the 69th birthday of a secondhand cindy so if you're not having a buzz ball for breakfast you're starting your day wrong today a secondhand cindy the birthday gal will be joining us a little bit later as we all drink a buzz ball in solidarity to celebrate her birthday i'm sure on a typical day whenever she calls the show she's usually three four five six or seven drinks yeah i think

She's very good at celebrating every day of the week, every time you do it. Yeah. She's always having something different in the morning, though. That's the part that's crazy. Whenever we think we've figured her out, we're like, what are you drinking, screwdriver now? She's like, white Russian, six of them. Or she's like champagne. Sometimes she's fancy with it.

Right, she's fancy. So secondhand Cindy, the birthday gal, is celebrating today. We don't really waste time with celebrity birthdays on the show. Every other radio show on the planet does that. But secondhand Cindy's birthday, especially the 69th, is a big deal. Yeah, especially I think Steve Reynolds, our previous coach who's now been fired, told us we shouldn't make 69 jokes because they're not funny. 69 jokes are not funny, and do not give airtime to a drunk.

That's what he said as well. He was wrong, but listen, your advice always matters to us, and we care what you think way more than the, quote, experts, and that's why we play you this message. Hey, it's Cripple Cody. You guys are terrible drivers, and I want to get Allie and Jake out in the desert in my race car, and I don't know, whoever has the slower lap time or whatever,

It gets, like, tased or... No, because here's the thing. Thank you, Cripple Cody, for offering up your race car. I know you live in the... Also, he's a terrible driver. He lost a finger, and he's crippled. Yeah, right. He lost the ability to walk.

Why is he calling other people bad drivers? But he, I think, injured himself to the point where he lost the ability to use his legs because he was trying to do cool stunts. It wasn't like he was trying to parallel park a car. Stop doing it. You're bad at it. Right, but he two different times injured himself pretty badly doing stunts. Meanwhile, tomorrow is the day after the show that Allie and Jake will have their driving skills put to the test.

And it'll be happening. We have an expert coming in, a certified driving instructor. I looked up this guy's credentials. He's real deal. And he's going to be running you guys through a checklist of, I think, 50 different things. You know, I hope that it involves parallel parking because that was my strong suit when I was doing my driving tests. Yeah, I know a lot of people worry about the parallel parking, but I was like, it was like the wind. Well, the loser will be immediately going to the DMV for five hours.

I do like the idea of racing each other, though. Yeah, well. Because I feel like that's where I shine. Cody claims, no, he said racing, not racist. Oh. Sorry, Allie. You're out of luck. Something like that.

I don't know. There should be some kind of fitting punishment. But you guys are all just absolutely terrible drivers. My gosh. How does, how do any of you have a driver's license? Now, listen, a lot of people had a hard time completing that test. What do you want to talk? Yeah, and this was about the written test.

The written test is not a good indication of anything, which is why I think it's not weighted as much as the actual driving test. And plenty of people do great on that written test. People that are easy, they have no problem remembering stupid facts about school zones and stuff. Yeah, they're just good test takers. It doesn't mean that you can apply any of it to your actual driving life. So we'll find out tomorrow. Once again, lowest scores, we'll be battling it out. And that is Jake and Allie.

So tomorrow's going to be a big day for one of you. You'll find out your future, which is five uninterrupted hours at the DMV doing nothing but sitting there. Quick break. We're back in a moment. with $100 of Allie's cash. If you want it, you can call now and claim it. All you've got to do is use the phone number, 800-520-1067, answer some questions about the news.

If you score better than Allie, she will pay you some money, and we'll do it after this. I'm K-Rock. K-Rock, we're a client Allie's show. If you'd like Allie's money, hopefully you're on the phone right now. If not, you can listen and play along and see how you would have done. Remember, we're just practicing, really, for another $500 Friday that'll happen later this week.

Same time, Friday morning, chance for you to take $500 of Allie's money, which goes a lot further than $100, But at least you get a sandwich and add extra meat, extra avocado. Probably have it all covered. That sounds all good. Courtesy of Allie's money. That's right. A sandwich with more than just mustard.

Let's say good morning now to Ray, listening to the K-Rock in Hollywood. Good morning, Ray. Good morning. How's everyone doing? We're doing all right. Five questions worth probably $100 to you if you do better than Allie. She has got pregnancy brain and she... Are you looking at my forehead?

Yeah. What's going on there? What? My forehead? That's just a regular day. Oh, man. Well, anyway, she's got something going on. I don't know what's happening.

She's reflecting back at you. It really is. You can see yourself in it. It's remarkable just how large your tree is. My wish is you have a smaller forehead. Allie's going to leave here. She's going to take her five-head with her out of the KROQ studios. Your round will officially begin in moments.

Answer these questions quickly, confidently, and accurately. They're all technically news, and here we go. Allie knows the news. There are two storms currently that are creating big waves in California. These storms are, as we speak, in the Pacific Ocean. Name one of the two storms that is contributing to some high surf in California. The Pacifian. The Pacifian.

All right, I'll write that down as we go to question number two. What L.A. quarterback just got engaged? Matthew Stafford. We go to question number three. Crumbles Cookies, love them or hate them, has just released a new flavor, interesting flavor to say the very least, that will be available for one week only

and then probably never again. What flavor is getting all sorts of attention right now from Crumbles Cookies? Thai tea. Thai tea. We've got a question number four. Yeah. The Fast and Furious coaster

is now officially opened at Universal Studios and it's receiving lots of complaints, but by who? Who is complaining about this new roller coaster that has opened officially at Universal Studios? The valley people. The valley people. Too loud. Too loud.

Valley people. And finally, question number five. We did talk earlier this week or last week about some AI teacher robots that were going to start helping out in the classroom. And now there's been huge backlash. For what reason and why are they no longer going to use the AI teacher robots that they were going to use? they don't want to do teach sex ed they don't want to teach sex ed that'd actually be a good reason to have those robots there all right i'm writing it down let's bring ali and score together it's always easier when you're listening than when you're playing if you think you could have

done better than ray hopefully you're on the phone at this time tomorrow to take ali's money if not let's see how you would have done some people always claim on the text line oh perfect score again for me today well you can call and prove it here we go question one ali yeah there There are two storms currently churning in the Pacific Ocean that are causing big surf in California. Name one of those two storms. I didn't know there were two. I know that one of them was Hurricane Genevieve. I will accept.

But I don't know if she's still around. Yes, I will accept Hurricane Genevieve. I would have also accepted Tropical Storm Fatso. No way. There's a storm called Fatso? Oh, Fusto. Oh, I was like, finally, we have good names for these things. F-A-U-S-T-O.

Fausto? Fausto. Tropical Storm Fausto. Fatso's a much better name. That's great. Anyway, the correct answer is also Hurricane Genevieve. Allie's on the board, 1-0. As we go to question number two, what L.A. quarterback just got engaged?

Oh, Justin Herbert. Yeah, he had the wrong guy. Sadly for you and sadly for him, Matt Stafford's been married for some time now. But Justin Herbert of your Chargers just got engaged to that Madison beer. And we go to question number three. Allie's up 2-0. She's hot. Are we talking about Allie or Madison Beer?

I think we know the answer to that, Klein. We can move on. Give that man a point. He got that right. It's Madison Beer. He should take her last name. We go to question number three. Allie?

Yeah. Crumbles Cookies, I know you're not a fan. No. Have just released a new flavor that's getting a lot of viral attention for a one-week-only launch. I don't think it'll be back, but what is the flavor of the crumble cookie that people are talking about? good? Oh, you think that would be good? Yeah, Ali hates crumbles. Hates them. I think it's so overrated and overpriced.

Let's see. Why don't we do... How about this is going to be the first pumpkin spice of the season? You think it's already started? Why not? No, that's wrong. It is a flaming hot lime. The flavors of a flaming hot lime Cheeto cookie.

Are you going to get it? No, I'm not going to get it. That sounds terrible. We go to question number four. No one gets their point there. Ali's still up by two. And question number four is this. There's a Fast and Furious ride that we talked about at Universal Studios. It's officially open now. People are riding it.

And then there's a lot of people complaining. What is the complaint about the ride? I believe they're complaining about the shrieking screams. Okay. And who is complaining? The neighbors. The neighbors. Yes.

The valley people, as he put it. He gets the point. You get the point. Oh, man. Neighbors and people that live near Universal are apparently saying it sounds like people are being murdered 24 hours a day. Or whenever that ride is operating and they are not happy about it. And we go to this final question. I don't think it matters, but here we go.

Let's go ahead and say this is worth double. There was a talk about these AI teacher robots that were going to start working in the classrooms. And now there's been this crazy backlash because of the robots. But for what reason? I don't know. People were doing them. People were doing the robots? It's a good guess.

He said he doesn't think that the robots would teach sex ed. You guys are both dancing around the right answer. Apparently, the place that was manufacturing these humanoid teacher robots is also the place that is making the most authentic sex robots. So what? And the school system said we cannot contribute money to this company. To this hot robot. That is creating these sex robots. But as someone that had very few attractive teachers in my day, I will assure you that the ones I had that were good-looking, I was never late or never tardy at those classes.

So there is a benefit to that. Oh, you were tardy. I was. Thank you. That's a medical diagnosis, though. It wasn't about me being late. All right. Well, sadly, Ray, you put in a decent effort, but we have nothing for you.

Allie smoked her ass. And what must you shamefully admit over the airwaves of K-Rock? Go ahead. This is Ray from Hollywood. What an alley nose in you. Thank you, Rick. Tomorrow morning, same time, same money. Could be yours.

Sublime now on Theracube. Unsolicited compliment about the show, and then we'll give you a reason to take that back immediately because Jake was in front of a crowd of people last night, which is something that is not good for Jake, even though he does do stand-up comedy from time to time, including tonight, his return to an indoor theater, or not an indoor theater, excuse me,

an indoor room for the first time in a long time because Jake is usually what they call an outdoor comic. Yeah. He stands outside the comedy club. Side of the road, back alleyway. But today he's going to be doing a show at the Improv, a real place I've heard of, but not the actual main Improv where the headliners go. The lab where they do experiments.

The lab at the Improv where they store the meat that they serve you at the restaurant. So Jake will be there later today as part of a comedy show, but that's not really what we're talking about. Oh, Jake, by the way, we did hear that Secondhand Cindy and Blind Charlie are going to be attending your show tonight. Oh, cool. You'll have some VIPs there. That's probably about it, but congratulations for getting those people.

And it's her birthday, so it's a big deal. Before we get to this audio of Jake, I want to play you this. Crickets are ready. They're lined up outside. Man, the crickets are lined up outside the improv already. It's hard to see the line, but it's there. Our master is performing tonight. Rally the troops.

Here's a guy that thinks the show is decent, and he will change his mind when we play you the audio of Jake introducing the Violent Femmes, which he thinks went well, and Allie and I have heard it, and we don't agree with you. Okay, well, I disagree. Would you have any reason to believe why we may be right and you may be wrong here? Yeah, because all the people in the band and who work for the band really enjoyed it. How do you know that? Because they told me. Are you looking at their...

What else are they going to say? Terrible intro? Are you looking at their reactions while you're doing it? Are you watching their faces and stuff? Yeah, and I got a laugh. It was solid. I'm going to play it for you in a second. You can judge for yourself, but here's someone who...

Why are you so defensive, by the way? You guys are always dicks. Whenever I get on stage, you guys are always complete assholes about it. You're always just crap on everything I do. It pisses me off. It's like, hey, load the audio. And you never give me any compliments ever. This guy's giving you a compliment.

Good morning. This is Rick Ridley from the L.A. area. You make me keep my sanity here in Iowa. No one understands me being from California. I like it that way. I come to L.A. occasionally. You guys are awesome. Keep it up.

I thought I wouldn't like Kevin and Bean when they first came on. I like you guys better than Kevin and Bean. I hate to say that. You know, Kevin and Bean were the legends, but I like you better. Thanks from Rick in Iowa. Sadly, your opinion doesn't matter because you're a flyover state half-wit, but thank you for the kind words about the show. And let's be honest, that is just not true.

But regardless, we'll accept that for now. Jake, there's a compliment, and here is Jake now introducing the Violent Femmes, 45 years as a band. And wouldn't you know that Jake starts out by making it all about Jake. That's the part that's interesting. Well, and the other thing is that when Jake is doing a show, when he is booked, you can tell because he is practicing every opportunity he can get. Oh, is he practicing his lines yesterday? So he'll be doing like, you know, like on the show, I'll notice he's like doing bit, you know, like he's trying to practice his material kind of.

So when he was going on stage last night, I was wondering if it was going to be him like workshopping some of his jokes. Oh, for tonight. Yes. Tonight, we celebrate 45 years of the Violent Femmes. Now, that's a great way to start. You got the crowd. I mean, I would say that's full crowd participation. 45 years of the Violent Femmes.

Listen to that. Just raucous. Raucous. Raucous applause for Jake. I mean, it's unbelievable. And then listen to this. That's a big deal. I wore pinks for this.

In this heat, pants. Okay. And then you've lost them. And now you've lost them. Where's the laughs? Well, he got a laugh at first, but then he kept going. You got to move on to the next thing. He tripled down on the pants.

It's also very important to acknowledge that this is halfway through the show, so people are already obliterated. Oh, yeah. You know what I mean? That's cool. So you'd think you'd have them already in the palm of your hand. So, obviously, people don't know Jake at a Violent Femmes show, so they don't know that he's known for wearing shorts.

Right. So you're also asking a little bit of the audience to know you enough to know that you wear shorts 99% of the time. Most of the people at the show, including all of the band, are wearing pants. So the idea that Jake is wearing pants is not that crazy of a concept. Out of context, it's not. I think it still makes sense. You should have said, you probably don't know this about me, but normally I would be in shorts. Well, everybody is normal like that and wears shorts.

I didn't see one person at that show in shorts. You didn't even go to that show, so shut up. I don't know if there's video. We watched the video. I watched the video. How? You saw people's legs in the video? Yeah, I thought it was a pants commercial.

Yeah, all you guys were on stage. What are you talking about, man? I'm looking at everyone. They're all in pants. You know, Kevin Ryder is known for wearing cargo shorts every single day. That would have been a great joke from Kevin Ryder. I would have said, that's the shorts guy. I mean, over the course of three decades, he's built the reputation of the shorts guy.

He's been setting that slow play joke up for years. It's great. I should give him that joke. In this heat, pants. So that kind of lost him. But don't worry, Jake. That went south quick. But Jake, oh, he's so mad right now.

Yeah. Because he felt really good about this. Yeah, he felt good about it. And you know what? The first time he made the joke, even though people don't know him, don't know it, they still laughed. And they laughed pretty, you know, it was a pretty good laugh. And then he kept going with it until there was one last, wow.

Yeah, 310 wants to know, why did you introduce the band in the middle of their set? Because that's how they asked me to do it. Yeah, because they were being presented with a plaque or something, right? Yeah. Yeah. You were giving them a plaque to say what? Happy 45 years of a band? And to celebrate the 7 million albums.

Oh, 7, yeah. I don't know. I've seen this happening a lot recently where bands that have been around a while, I guess they hit a new number, right? Because people are rebuying stuff again. I think I just saw, I think it was maybe Jimmy World just got a new plaque presented to them at the Vans Warped Tour. like these albums that have done well

all of a sudden have now hit another milestone so Violent Femmes just hit 7 million and so Jake was brought out there originally to give them this plaque and talk about his pants so he's done the pants part of it so now it's the plaque part can we fast forward now, can we keep going thank you, we're just crapping all over

10 seconds of the goddamn intro just play it, just play it and let people think and let people decide are you wearing pants or shorts right now I'm wearing shorts in 1983 they gave us a record that means so much to us all

actually factually over 7 million of us also I think it's important to note that Jake's reading this from his phone so he's out there with his phone unfortunately

I thought that was a bad look Jake you're reading it from your phone yeah I wrote it right before I went on stage Actually, factually, Omar, from his phone? Actually, factually. But when you've been a band for 45 years, you don't do it for recognition. You do it for the legion of fans that complain as soon as you play something new.

Oh, that's good. Awesome. You know, it's funny. The crowd liked that. You know who didn't like that joke? The band. Yeah, they did. They liked it a lot.

No, there's one guy that literally keels over. Yeah, because he was laughing. No. I don't think so, dude. It's not laughing, Jake. He's mad. The shorts guy is hilarious. The shorts guy.

He's crushing it, man. Once again, Jake on stage introducing the Violent Femmes to thank them for 45 years of blistering the sun and other things. You know, not knowing that he read it off his phone, though, that was well-worded and nice. Right. You know, and I had a good joke at the end, but I do think, you know, when you see like a bridesmaid giving a speech at a wedding and she's reading it off her phone, I just think it looks so tacky. Right, right, right away.

Even, I know it seems old school, but even just pulling out a piece of paper feels like a little bit more effort went in. Right. You'll look at the phone. You used a printer. Yeah. Because the Violent Femmes are artists. And you do not F with artists.

You do not F with the Violent Femmes. it means so much that K-Rock means so much to the Violent Femmes Gordon and Brian please accept this platinum plaque with the LA Rock Camp for Girls

that we got from a trophy shop downtown we hope you enjoy it because framing is very expensive That's a good joke. Yeah, I like that. I like that, too. Jake, you got a vote of three of confidence on the framing joke.

Great. Awesome. Is it good yet? Are we doing some crap on some more? How many nights are they playing at the Bellwether? They're playing until Friday. Every night until Friday. Are you doing this every night until then? Obviously not, because it sucks so bad. We're not saying it sucks so bad.

Yes, you are saying that. That's exactly how you start this goddamn bit. There's highs and lows. You started by saying it didn't go well. and you just crapple over it. And then it turns out to be good, and now what are you saying? Oh, no, it's good.

I'm saying there are parts that are good. Not that at first you weren't. Well, because the shorts thing was stupid. No, you said it all sucked. The band started this whole bit saying it was terrible. I didn't say a whole thing was terrible. We're going to start with a compliment, and then we're going to make you feel bad.

Well, listen, I think it's beautiful here when the band speaks, because they finally get a chance to say something. Be the love of the Femmes. Here's to 45 more. And listen to what the violin says. Thanks, Jake. Thanks, Jake.

Nice pants. This is what they say. Thanks, Jake. That's fabulous. We would love to thank A-Rock for supporting us over the decades, really. Seven million records sold and probably six million because of that. Is he on his phone for this part? He read that off his phone, too.

So we congratulate you, Violent Femmes, and we thank you for all that you've given us. and it's been a pleasure to be friends with you through most of those years and thank you for allowing Jake to have his make a wish and go up there on stage and introduce you and give you this plaque for allowing us to play the song many, many, many, many times over the years including right now, not scheduled

but I feel like it's a fitting tribute to the great Violent Femmes. We'll do some news and we get into a brand new hour of the show a man versus machine battle to figure out if humanity stands a chance against the robot overlords as it pertains to violence particularly because more and more people now are getting into fights with robots,

and robots are figuring out ways to start hacking into themselves. So pretty soon it's going to turn into that full-on robot versus human war, and we need to go ahead and prove that we stand a chance. So that will be coming up next hour, plus some clickbait in your future. Right now, though, there's this, your news. Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD News. Living next to a theme park can be pretty awesome, I'm sure, but it can also go from awesome to not awesome very quickly,

And that's apparently the case for any neighbors of Universal Studios right now because of the new Fast and Furious roller coaster. How great is this for promotion for Universal Studios? Absolutely. It makes me want to ride it so much more. Just hearing all the angry neighbors. They're like, it just sounds like fun constantly. Yeah, so the coaster's finally open. It's their first high-speed roller coaster outdoor.

And the people riding it seem to love it. But the neighbors are pissed off because every 20 seconds they hear bloody murder type screaming for people who are on the ride because they're obviously loving the roller coaster. Universal did a couple of things to try and combat the sound. They said they installed sound shields along the track to help contain the screams. They even did some they filled the track with pea gravel to dampen the noise. But the screams seem to easily bypass all of that. And now the neighbors are saying that living next to Universal is torture. And that they're listening to a horror movie on repeat all day long.

You think about all of the things, you know, you move somewhere and, you know, things feel pretty good when you're there. And then you go, oh, no, they're building a pickleball court nearby or a giant roller coaster. You know, there's people that have lived there for a long time, even though they've still been near Universal, as you said. Probably one of the quieter theme parks. Yeah, most of those rides are in, like the mummy, all those things transform. They're all inside. Even that little drop at the end of Jurassic Park ride, most of that is in that tunnel anyway. So it doesn't really, but for some reason, this one is the way they did it.

But some people might like that vibe. The sounds of screaming constantly? The sound of fun? Constantly? But if you just, I mean, I guess eventually you'll just become earblind to it. You have to be. I mean, it's like the people that live near Disneyland and they hear fireworks every single night at 9 p.m., like clockwork. Yeah. I mean, people might hate that and people might love it, but that's what comes with living next to a theme park. This ride's right next to my new place, and I don't hear it, but I like seeing the fireworks every night, though.

That's cool. Yeah, it is. I think the fireworks thing is one of those when you live near a place where you get a firework. It's like a mini celebration every night. I lived somewhere one time where I could see the Hollywood Bowl fireworks, and at first I was like, oh, it's so cool. At first I was surprised, and then I kept going, what's today? I thought every day was important. I was like, oh, it's just the symphonies playing again or whatever.

The Philharmonic is on. It is cool, and then it becomes annoying, but I'm sure with this thing, right now, People are just excited to go. I'm glad we got to give away a bunch of tickets last week so people get to go and ride that thing. Yeah, and with any new sound, I'm sure after a while you tune it out. Like, I live pretty close to the freeway, and I feel like I don't even hear it anymore, but I did at first. All you hear. I'm sure the sound of screams will eventually bleed away.

People aren't upgrading their phones like they used to, and that makes Apple sad. So they are creating a new way for you to spend money with them. You can now lease an iPhone. They're allowing people to lease new phones and watches. A phone would start at $18 a month for up to two years, or you can do a watch for $12 a month. And then at the end, just like a car lease, when it's done, you either turn it in or you pay the difference if you want to keep it. You can return it and get a brand new one. So you kind of always have that upgrade phone.

And if there's any significant damage, you would have to pay for it. How's that much different than like if you, you know, right now. Do a finance plan. Right, you do it through your carrier. Because after two years, you just turn it in and get a new phone. you're paying less money over time. If you're paying $18 a month for two years. But I would imagine most people are just going to their providers

and just getting the free phone for two years. And then, I mean, it's a free phone. But this is money that Apple wasn't making before because not as many people are buying new upgraded phones because their phones work so well. Yeah, but don't they do that thing now? Like, I can already tell the new ones are coming because my battery is not staying charged for S.

It's drained so quick now. Yeah, I think that's part of a tactic as well. But I'm sure there are people just like who like leasing new cars and have a new car all the time. There are people who want the new phone all the time. So you're paying a little bit less to do that. Omar's right, though. These carriers, I love it that they all fight with each other. I'll just switch up every two years.

Yeah, they just constantly are battling. I feel like you get 10 new iPhones. Because I remember the last time, I mean, I did it for the first time about a year ago. And I was just like, you're telling me all these phones are free. And they're like, yeah, you just signed up for two years. And I'm like, OK, so no catch, no nothing. And they were like, no, here you go. If you want to upgrade to a bigger memory or whatever, there's like a $60 fee or whatever.

I'm like, that's it? I'm like, yeah, it's amazing. They do bang you for the taxes. That part sucks because all of a sudden- Don't they incorporate some of that stuff? Well, the free phone, they go, if we were charging you retail, it's like $1,200. So we got to tax you on the $1,200, which that part sucks because all of a sudden- So you get to pay that no matter what.

Right. Probably have to pay it. Unless you go to, apparently the move someone was telling me is you go to Portland and you go there and you grab the new phone in portland interesting because there's no sales tax no tax and then you really get the free phone and they said someone said that if you do the math on like a cheap ass flight to and from portland so if you you go with your carrier but you buy the phone in portland yeah that's right yeah that's the el cheapo hat seems really expensive no to do that it's not start driving now new phone by 7 p.m just so i can avoid the taxes uh so when you find

something in your food it can be a jarring experience finding a fried condom in your popeye's chicken i imagine would be terrible but what's even better than that is that was it really a fried condom this person said they found a fried condom in their um popeye's chicken if i was going to eat a condom fried is the way i would want to go for sure absolutely everything fried right it would be a you'd assume because it's been in that hot batter that it's probably going to be at least you know decontaminated and also probably delicious because you can't fry any fried is better well they came to popeyes and said hey i found this in my chicken and apparently the employees just laughed at them they didn't take them seriously so these reporters these investigative

reporters decided that this was blasphemy and they decided to go up to people in the drive-thru line to notify them about what horrible things had occurred in the chicken the young man discovered a fried condom in his chicken this weekend emergency room a fried condom inside the chicken get your money back the chicken that you eat be very careful you don't know what you might be consuming that's right look at this freak there's a freak in the kitchen putting condoms in the chicken chicken strips and i mean this is this is a whole nother level choking and stroking the chicken here this is a whole nother level so be very careful if your chicken tastes with some unseasoned savory flavor that's right you might want to give it back i wouldn't eat from here

I wouldn't eat it. I've gone on since. Mm-mm. That hype girl needs lessons from Flavor Flavor. She's the best. She is the best. I think they did God's work. All right, well, now I'm craving chicken and condoms after that little speech right there.

I've never craved condoms. Let's do a door dash. Quick, let's get into a brand new hour of the show. Let's do it right now. Here we go with this. Here we go with this.
