Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:32 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? Meet the Klein Alley Show.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Let's get this show started. The show started. the show started we are live in los angeles three two one and here we go low 6.7 kro qfm and hd pasadena los angeles orange county the sonic pulse of los angeles this is the world famous k-rock hello yeah good morning welcome to a wednesday we are client alley show this is k-rock if you're new nice to meet you you'll either love and Or hate us, give it a few days, take the three-day challenge. Speaking of challenges, it's going to be a good day today.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Food challenge is happening in the studios. We have a local legend, competitive eater, looking at some of the videos that she's put up. And, boy, it is incredible. We've been getting slowly obsessed with her. I may be more excited to have her in here than pretty much any guest we've had in here recently. Me too. Not only is she Jake's type, I think she's a Barbasian, but she is a viral competitive eater who has gone around Southern California
Starting point is 00:01:54 and dominated eating challenges. And this isn't like one of those eating challenges where you do it just for the bragging rights. You know, you go to a restaurant sometimes and they say, like, hey, if you can finish this entire absurd, you know, sushi boat or this 99-ounce steak, it's free. You got to finish it in 20 minutes, though. And then you and your table talk about doing it
Starting point is 00:02:16 and then you just order your regular food. Or you try, you take a few bites, you go, ah, it was way bigger than me, and then you have to pay for it. She, like, has been doing it. I think she's been eating for free for years by going around all these places in Southern California, taking advantage, because no one would think she could possibly do it. She's tiny. She's a tiny lady, and she's going.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I just watched some video, Allie, of her taking down this sushi boat. And when I say sushi boat, the boat was the size of a boat. It's 90 pieces of sushi, and she ate it all. And I know it's easy for you to go ahead and say, oh, I could probably do that. I go out for sushi. I eat 20 pieces. I'm still starving at the end. These were massive pieces.
Starting point is 00:02:50 And no breaks in between? No. No body breaks, no nothing. I think she has, like, you know, some of the challenges, 20 minutes to do it, some of them 10. This giant, she went all the way to Texas, I think, to take down the world's biggest hamburger. A five-pound hamburger. Damn. And then she also ate five pounds of ramen, a three-pound tomahawk steak, and she ate 100 dumplings in 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:03:10 And I think she did a, what did she do from In-N-Out, a 50 by 50 or a 40 by 40 or something? 50 by 50. A 50 by 50 at In-N-Out. So just give me the weekend. I had a four by four. I had trouble putting that one down. Yeah. So, I mean, think about that for a second.
Starting point is 00:03:22 This woman did a 50 by 50, and it's remarkable. So we had to get her in here. She's going to be stopping by the K-Rock Studios today. And one of the local challenges she has not yet taken advantage of is a sandwich from Fat Sal's called the Big Fat Fatty. Allie will be suing Fat Sal's for stealing her nickname. But the Big Fat Fatty will be brought into the K-Rock Studios today. I think it's being delivered via U-Haul truck. That's how big it is.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Yeah, I think it's a 10-pound sandwich. This thing is insane. It has so much stuff in it. Yeah, and she can eat really fast. is the thing. So we got a lot of fun to look forward to today, and if you're not watching on YouTube, today will be a visually stimulating day for you. Not going to be great if you're trying
Starting point is 00:04:00 to keep your summer body together because we're going to be eating a ridiculous amount of food on the show today with the help. Fat boy. Thank you. Thank you, honey. I still brought my lunch. Because I have a fat stomach. I know why you call me a fat boy. But enough about us. Let's talk about something that you actually care about. Let's sway Allie's
Starting point is 00:04:17 breasts, okay? Let's go buy a food scale at Walmart or Target. They're like $10. Place it on the desk or table and Allie can place one boob at a time to compare
Starting point is 00:04:32 weights. And then after, Klein can weigh his penis and testicles if he has any. Oh, well, how dare you? I thought we were all friends here. Well, you'd have to adjust and do like a smaller increment. I changed mine to metric so it'd sound better.
Starting point is 00:04:48 How many grams is my penis? Oh, man, this guy's got a massive grand penis. I don't know how you'd be able to measure that properly, though. I would really have to set it on top of their... I mean, I have one of those little scales at home, one of those little food scales I could bring in, I guess. That should work, I think. Once again, I don't care at all.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Allie brought up the fact that she's in the phase of her pregnancy now where her breasts are getting larger by the day. Do they even out, Allie? No, uh-uh. No. They grow at the same pace, so there's still one that's way bigger than the other. Wow.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah, Allie's cup has run over to the point where one of them, She's been nicknamed Wonky Boobs, Wonky Boobs, Wonky Legs, and Wonky Eyes, right? You found out all three of those are wonky? Oh, my God. Everything's wonky. I had to retake my passport photo yesterday, and everything straight on is just weird. Like, if you have to pick a picture straight on, it just looks like you're looking at a magic eye. What do they say?
Starting point is 00:05:36 Do they say turn to the left or turn backwards? It's just supposed to be completely straight on. Turn around and leave. We don't accept this photo. It's too weird. Well, there you have it. We're off to a great start today. It's just like one eye is smaller, one side of my mouth curves differently.
Starting point is 00:05:54 It's just, you know, there's a few people in the world that have a perfectly symmetrical face. One side is the same as the other. And I envy that because I just, it's so the opposite. In a world where pretty much every picture that we look at of ourselves, you have the ability to filter or shade or zoom out. Cock your head to the side. Keep it up the DMV, where we were yesterday, and the passport office. They keep it raw dog. And they're like, don't smile, just do a half smile.
Starting point is 00:06:19 it's like the most unflattering thing and can't use any filters not even just a little bit of lighting adjustments nothing so uh we will get into all things that happened at jake's birthday party dmv coming up later this morning as well let's start things off and get you in a good mood with this i think on k-rock people it's one of our favorite times of the day ali hates it but it's an opportunity for you to get 100 richer bragging rights for life and an invitation back here for the ali knows the news tournament of champions yeah i know everyone's bitching about How, oh, you know, I have no chance of winning, da-da-da-da. Just scroll the news.
Starting point is 00:06:50 It's really not that hard. It's not that hard. If I can do it, you can do it. Yeah, these are questions I'm putting together, so let's be honest. I'm not digging that deep into what's happening in the world. As you know, these news stories are barely news, but they are out there. So if you'd like to play, call now and answer five questions. You'll be battling Allie.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Allie is pregnant. She's got that pregnancy brain. She's also got some other stuff going on, I'm sure. A couple things that are probably terminal. So all you got to do is call and take her money while you still can. The number is 800-520-1067. We have five questions, and we will do that after this quick break. And then we will get into everything else we have in store for you today,
Starting point is 00:07:24 including a day to celebrate teachers and the most un-teacher thing they did over their summer vacation. A lot of teachers heading back to the classrooms this week, next week. Some of them back there right now trying to, you know, put up that new calendar and get everyone excited. Time to staple the president's faces back to the wall again. But the question is, what is the most un-teacher thing? Because I think teachers are held to a higher standard in society. Yeah, but also, I know some teachers, and they can get down. I do, too.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And over the summer, one of the best stories I heard of what someone did this summer, which was one of the most, in my extreme summer fun stories, was from someone who is a teacher. And I said, man, I get it. Work hard, play hard. So we will get your stories a little bit later on this morning. You can be totally anonymous. Teachers, specifically, before you head back to your actual job, what is one of the most interesting
Starting point is 00:08:10 slash questionable things you did this summer. The un-teacherist thing. Un-teacherist thing. And we know that that's not real language. Yeah, you don't have to correct us and say that's not a word. We get it. We'll be back in a moment with Ali Knows the News
Starting point is 00:08:22 and then that all coming up on KROG. All right, thank you, Green Day. It's Pay the People. It's KROG, Klein Ali Show. Every morning around this time, chance to take some of Ali's money and at the very least, you'll learn a thing or two
Starting point is 00:08:32 that's happening in the world or you're one of these people that texts us every day and says, I got a perfect score yet again. There's nothing you've ever said to stump me. I know all there is to know about the news, in which case you should be calling and playing and taking Allie's money. Yeah, don't criticize the people playing Allie Knows the News or idiots. Be one of those idiots.
Starting point is 00:08:47 You know how we haven't had yet? We haven't had our very own Ken Jennings. We haven't had someone who's called and beaten you day after day after day. Some sort of a winning streak that just completely bankrupts Allie. It'd be so fun to watch. I think we were looking for that. So if you're super smart and you'd like to call us, you can. 800-520-1067.
Starting point is 00:09:03 If you're not super smart, but you want to record songs about this game, then you can do that as well. She doesn't wash her hands after taking a number two, and she allows her kid to take a dump in the pool. No. Let's find out if Allie knows the news. Thank you. It's not true. Mahjong. Thank you for that lovely message.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You can always leave your custom theme songs on that goat line. It's there for you all the time, 844-956-GOAT. That's a nice song right there. Not true that I let my kid drop a goat line. That is true. That part is true. I stand by that. Gabriel, good morning.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Good morning. And welcome to KROQ. Hi. Good morning, guys. Five questions, all about things happening in the world. Allie will leave the KROQ studios. This is where she gets her steps in. And then you will get a chance to answer some questions.
Starting point is 00:09:55 Well, I'm telling you, Allie's getting thick. Big Allie. I see her get out of that seat now. Is she going to get funnier? I think she could be getting funnier. Well, that hasn't happened yet, sadly. That must be on time delay or something. But Allie technically is going to get fatter, and fatter means funnier.
Starting point is 00:10:08 So we all are here for it. We can start with your round, though. So, Gabriel, let's go. Five questions on the clock. Let's begin. Allie knows the news. All right. The Los Angeles Metro, L.A. Metro, has reported a 57% reduction of what on public transit?
Starting point is 00:10:26 57% reduction of what? Crime. Crime. They got to get some good stories out there to get people riding that public transit. So that's what they're going to say. All right, I'm writing down your answer. We will give the actual answers at the end.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Question two. This celebrity gossip blogger has been hospitalized for a very strange incident that took place where he was harming himself on a live stream. I don't know his name or his or her name. His or her name, that's a pass. We got a question number three. the number one los angeles dodgers first place dodgers are in the middle of a
Starting point is 00:11:09 three-game series with the chicago cubs game three is later today uh what has been the record so far in this series with the cubs how many games have the dodgers won of the first two uh they're at one and one one and one you think they split them all right we go to question number four. The Voice, the TV show The Voice, has got something new they're going to be doing for season 2027, the next season of the show. What is the change that The Voice
Starting point is 00:11:38 will be doing for this new season? Getting a new judge. A new judge. Alright, and finally question number five. This movie has officially now crossed the one billion dollar mark globally in under a week. Which movie
Starting point is 00:11:56 has just crossed the one billion threshold? What movie? That's the question. I could answer it. I have it here. Three. Really?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Two. Three. Disclosure Day. Disclosure Day. Okay. Let's bring Ali in. We'll score together. See how you did.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Allie is re-entering the K-Rex Studios right now. Allie, this guy answered all the questions, most of them at least. He answered them? He answered them. I'm not going to say how he did just yet. We'll score together. See if I can do the same. Once again, you get nothing other than you get to keep your money if you're right.
Starting point is 00:12:40 And maybe you prove to the world that you know a thing or two about what's happening in the world. Yeah, why don't I win anything? What's my motivation? You want to give anything, Gabriel? You want to give anything to Allie if she beats you? Nope. All right. Cool, we'll try tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Question one, the L.A. Metro has reported a 57% reduction of what on public transit? God, 57%. People? It's just no one's riding it. Even less people than before. That is kind of right, but I cannot give you the point. He said... Is it feces?
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh, that's a good guess, Omar. They're trying to... I know they're spending a lot of... They're really trying to get the people to come back to the public transit system. Of all the major cities, ours is a major city that has the worst of the public transit system by far. Yeah, I think we should just cut our losses, guys. It's done. Anyway, the answer is that they claim that there's a 57% reduction of homeless people that are living on the trains and buses, etc. So they're saying that they've cleaned that up, you know, not all the way, but a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:42 And so if people are afraid to ride because they were going to get shaken down for some cash on the way in or some bags of groceries, they will not. That's interesting because when I lived on the East Coast and I was taking the subway every day, I was kind of comforted by the one homeless guy in the corner. Because sometimes they'd be the only other person. And I'm like, if something does happen, at least this guy's here. There's a witness. Now that's the report that they are releasing out today. No one gets the point.
Starting point is 00:14:05 We go to question number two. The celebrity gossip blogger hospitalized after a weird incident took place where he was harming himself on a live stream. That was Perez Hilton. Perez Hilton, a name I hadn't heard about in a while. Yeah, and I don't really know what happened. And I guess he had a knife with him. Some sort of a weird meltdown.
Starting point is 00:14:21 He was live streaming and just started, I guess, cutting himself. And people were freaking out. And that's the whole thing. We go to question number three. Allie goes up 1-0. Question three. The first place L.A. Dodgers are in the middle of a series with the Chicago Cubs right now. Game three is today.
Starting point is 00:14:36 What was the record of the first two games of that series? The Dodgers won both. Allie says Dodgers won both. He said they split them, won one. But sadly, the Cubs won both of those games, which doesn't happen very often. Oh, it doesn't? No, I mean, the Dodgers should be winning all these games. Don't they have the best lineup by far of any other baseball team?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Shouldn't they win every single game? Statistically, and for every other reason, they should be. But it happens from time to time, and then they'll be back here. I think they've got the Diamondbacks next or something. We go to question number four. Allie's still up one with two questions left. The Voice, that TV show, The Voice, with the spinning chairs, is going to be doing something different for the 2027 season of The Voice. What is it they'll be doing that is different?
Starting point is 00:15:24 When you get voted off, you die. Oh, execution style. That'd be cool. It's pretty intense. Deathmatch. You thought you could sing. Well, prove it. This chair is electric.
Starting point is 00:15:34 That'd be amazing. Oh, my God. Like Death Row Voice on electric chairs? That's a great idea. Sing for your life. They're doing something less extreme than that. They're doing an all-celebrity season, which means all these celebrities will be singing on The Voice as well. So, which is like the masked singer, only not masked.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Well, they'll probably put masks on them, too. And finally, no one gets the point on that, and we go to this last question. This movie has just crossed the $1 billion mark and only took him six days to get there. Spider-Man. Globally, Ali says Spider-Man. He got that one wrong as well. Well, Gabriel, it was nice to meet you. I'm glad you didn't put up any of your own money for Ali because you didn't do so hot.
Starting point is 00:16:13 So, you get nothing, and what must you shamefully admit over the airwaves of K-Rock? Go ahead. My name is Gabriel from Montebello, and Allie knows the news. 714 says this guy blows, but I don't know. It's a ball of energy. I don't know. They could not be talking about you, Gabriel. They could be talking about any of us.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Or you with your leaf blower. They could be talking about me. Oh, that's a good idea. Get that leaf blower. No. I was hoping you wouldn't bring it today. Did you bring it? It's in my car.
Starting point is 00:16:37 No. I don't travel without it anymore. It's my thing now. I'm going to get me a giant dog. What is the use in your car? I'm going to get a holster, put it on my belt, wear it around. This will be a very unpopular opinion, and I feel bad even saying this out loud, Allie, because I don't want to ruin the plans you have for yourself for later,
Starting point is 00:16:52 but Omar kind of ruined my plans, so I will share with you. I went and saw Odyssey, finally went and saw the Odyssey the right way on the IMAX. Nice reclining seats, went all the way back, giant bucket of popcorn. Put M&Ms in it? No, I didn't. I messed up. But I was ready for, you know, I was all ready to sit down and enjoy the 6 p.m. showing. Is it sold out? It appeared, yeah, it looks sold out.
Starting point is 00:17:19 The guy, my friend had the tickets. He bought them, he said, three and a half weeks ago. And this was the first normal time he could even get into an IMAX screening event. Wow, that's interesting because I am going to see the movie tomorrow solo. And I was, it was all blue dots. I was the first person that bought a ticket. IMAX or regular? No, just regular.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Oh, so that's my point. You know what happened when I went to see it, and I went to see it on Monday? A lot of the seats said that they were taken, but I arrived at the theater, and it was way empty. I bet Christopher Nolan's buying them all. You think Nolan's buying them all? Maybe he is. Maybe he's all like, yeah, trying to hype it up even more. And what's the matter to him?
Starting point is 00:17:55 He's got the money, right? If he just goes and spends a couple thousand, he'll go ahead and make theaters feel full. Just to have the headlines say, sold out, sold out, sold out. This one seemed pretty full, and it's interesting because it's so long. there's certain parts in the movie where you're supposed to go to the bathroom if you have to go. Are these just known?
Starting point is 00:18:13 I guess they're known. If you have to go at 57 minutes, there's a place where they say it slows down for a little bit. There's another one at 153. And I guess people knew because at those moments in the movie, you would see like six people
Starting point is 00:18:24 from different places get up and rush out to go. But Omar was the first. Everyone had said, all I heard was, this is an epic movie. This is unbelievable. This is movie magic at its finest.
Starting point is 00:18:35 You know, no AI was used. Everything was really done. So you can't just go in and say, yeah, it looked cool, but they did it on computer. Yeah, it wasn't CGI. You know, the thing. How not? They said they used barely any CGI. And that was how amazing it was.
Starting point is 00:18:49 But, I mean, we read some of the reviews when that movie came out and compared them to the Odyssey, our company Odyssey reviews. And it was just night and day. So people said it was crazy good. I don't know what the Rotten Tomatoes score is. Everyone said it was amazing. And, you know, I got caught up in the hype of the whole thing. So I went, the first person that, really the only person at all, other than saying it was long, that said, eh, overrated, was Omar, who saw it a couple days ago. And he said, I don't want to ruin your time, man, because I know you're going to go, but it's fine.
Starting point is 00:19:17 It is what, it's whatever. And I go, eh, that's just Omar. I'm not going to, I'm not going to listen to Omar. He's trying to. That's true. I'm like that about a lot of things. And I went in with a positive attitude. I was ready.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I wanted to be wowed. I know. Yeah, that is strange. I said, wow me. Did you just walk in there smiling like a weirdo? Yeah, I was ready to go. Like, I was ready. And I also was thinking to myself, you know, I have not made it through a movie without falling asleep in a long time.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Well, a lot of times, though, you're seeing kids' movies with kids. And I don't mind. I'll pay the $12, $19 just to lay in an air-conditioned thing and go to sleep. To me, that's worth more than a movie. Also, your attention span, I don't know if you can make it through a movie anymore. I think the last movie you watched, you watched in, like, five different parts in 20-minute increments. Yes, it's hard for me to sit still. And he fell asleep like three times during Minions.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Okay, thank you, Johnny. No need to share that with everyone. Three times is a lot. That movie's not very long. Three times. I woke up. They were still doing some weird stuff, the yellow people. I went back to bed.
Starting point is 00:20:14 That's it. Are you snoring during that? Was I snoring? I mean, I elevate. I think I'm elevated enough that the snore's not coming. But, yeah. This one, I'll say right now, I learned two things about myself very quickly. One, I think some of this stuff I was supposed to have learned in school at some point.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Yeah, we studied the book in school or the poem or whatever. I knew nothing. The poem. I knew nothing that was happening and nothing that was going to happen. So I was completely blind going into this, even though I thought to myself throughout, I probably should know these players. You didn't know anything about the church and horse? The horse is the one thing that I kind of knew that they snuck in inside the horse's belly.
Starting point is 00:20:55 That was a small part of the movie. there was another two hours, two and a half hours plus. It was not the horse. And I was going, I didn't know any of this stuff. So either they made it up. But that's great. Well, it was great. When they've seen everything for like the first time, you don't need to know.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Here's the problem. They don't have modern names. So I had a really hard time. Modern names? Dude, one of the criticisms of this movie is that it's too modernized. So for you, it was not modern enough? Yes, that's right. Yeah, for a few reasons.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Like I should have been named John. Yeah, exactly. Odysseus is too tough. I could not keep track. I call Poseidon Paul. They were talking. Listen, Ali, you'd be in a scene, and they would say, like, Scott Sopulia was fighting with Super Chopper John,
Starting point is 00:21:37 and I would go, I can't keep track of these people. Right. And Odysseus and Poseidon. And Zeus I could keep track of because it's one syllable, but I don't even see Zeus in the movie. And I couldn't keep track of the names. They should have worn name tags on screen or something to show. Oh, or like a little title card that's like, here's this person.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Right. Like a Netflix documentary? Who they were talking about. And I'm not just saying because I'm slow and dumb. For the average person, I could see other people in the theater look confused as well. You know, they should do dum-dum screenings. They should do dum-dum screenings. They do like kind of an explanation of what's going on, sort of like the Mickey Mouse thing is moving along as you're singing along.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Because I didn't know who was a person and what was a land. They would talk about so-and-so is sailing to, it was like. Yeah, but with Game of Thrones, you probably experienced that too. So this is my take on the movie overall. It felt like a very, very long episode of Game of Thrones. Well, that's good, right? Some of those Game of Thrones episodes were really cool, and some of them you're like,
Starting point is 00:22:35 this one was a lot of setup but not a lot of action. A lot of walking through a garden. Yeah, there was interesting stuff here, but also as I'm watching it, it made me feel dumb, and I don't like movies that make me feel dumb, which I think is why a lot of movies, they've dumbed everything down for the general population. I think there should be some sort of a test you have to take
Starting point is 00:22:54 before you can even see this movie, and they don't let people in. Oh, just to be able to answer some basic questions about history? Yeah, because I was having a real hard time, and I just kept in my mind, because I'm so simple, I was like, oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:23:07 There's the Juno kid in there. Elliot Page. Right, and then I was like, oh, that's the girl from Euphoria is in there. Zendaya. Right. Too much of that stuff. There's a lot of it.
Starting point is 00:23:19 That's what I thought from the beginning, and I have not seen it. I plan on seeing it tomorrow, but my initial reaction was there are way too many A-listers in this for me to really be taken into the story. It's just, okay, here's this A-lister, this A-lister, and then you're just constantly thinking about the celebrities that are in it rather than the story itself.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And the one thing I will agree about this movie that Johnny feels the same way is that there is no sweet knockers at all. Yeah, there was one part where you thought this isn't going to ruin anything. They cruise by some rock, and there's some mermaids on there. I was going to say, isn't that a sexual part, the sirens? And you go, here we go now. This is good. Because they're sexy singing sirens.
Starting point is 00:23:54 The guy's got to tie himself to the boat because he's going to be so horny when he sees these hot mermaids. And then all of a sudden, that stupid weather forecast, they're in fog or some crap. The overcast comes in and it covers the whole entire mermaid's body. I was so excited. I go, here we go, baby. Let's go. And the rocks of mermaids. And by the way, they're all talking about the mermaids.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Oh, we're going to see some mermaids. Really? Yeah, these guys have been at sea for a while. They're all horned up. About to see some mermaids. This is where the mermaids happen. And I'm like, here we go, baby. I felt like one of the sailors.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I felt like I'd been on the boat for nine hours. I go, come on now, here come the mermaids. And then it was all of a sudden some fog blows in. Right. If they're going to modernize it for 2026, put some boobies in there. If you're having enough of these A-listers popping up on screen, you can't get a Sidney Sweeney in a mermaid suit sitting on a rock. Maybe they could do a dumb-dumb version and a naked version.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Yeah, I just feel like it was a fail. Christopher Nolan, you hear that? A fail. Not one of his best. But I will say that the funniest part is the running of the people after the movie to the bathroom is a hilarious thing to watch because it is like the running of the bulls in
Starting point is 00:24:57 Spain. You see everyone is, you know, usually there's like some sort of a pleasant exiting of the theater. Every single person, the second that title card goes up, is it a full blown sprint? I mean a sprint to the bathroom. Oh yeah, and it is just hilarious
Starting point is 00:25:13 to watch it happen. There's no bloopers at the end? So you gotta wait for the bloopers. I didn't stick around. That would have been great if you said all the credits. There's like a whole scene with the mermaid. Guys, the fog. Oh, my God, my boobs. Listen, I just want, I wanted to leave that theater.
Starting point is 00:25:28 You remember how you left after Braveheart or after Shawshank Redemption or after Gladiator? I wanted to leave feeling like that. And I didn't leave feeling like that. But I didn't sleep, didn't fall asleep for even a second. You didn't? I did not, which is surprising. So that's one thing I heard is that it doesn't feel like a three-hour movie. It does not.
Starting point is 00:25:47 It goes, the pacing is great. It goes fast, really fast. Well, it's because it's a pretty long story, so things are happening. Long-ass story. But if someone were to say to me right now, explain what you just saw, other than the horse part, I could not tell you one other thing. Like, I don't know anyone involved. I could tell you things, like, oh, there was a thing with the Cyclops guy, but I could not possibly, like, explain who any of the people... If you were to say right now, a million dollars...
Starting point is 00:26:10 You think I don't know the names of co-workers here? If you were to say to me right now, who was the main character in the movie? Really? I mean, I would say Matt Damon, probably, but I don't know. Maybe that's why they use celebrities. Yeah. Because you're like, okay, that's Anna Hathaway, that's Matt Damon. I remember those names.
Starting point is 00:26:26 714 said, I'm with Klein. I only knew about the horse before the movie and after. Yeah, and I feel like there's teachers that have taught this. I remember at some point the Iliad or the Odyssey or some must-read something or other. It's called the Odyssey. Well, but there's, I think, another one, a prequel or something. There is another. There is the Iliad is a thing.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Homer Simpson wrote the whole thing. Listen, the point is I don't know much about it, and I feel like after seeing it I would have thought I would know more I know I think I know less
Starting point is 00:26:54 I think these movies just aren't for you they're not yeah like I'm too but like Oppenheimer wasn't for me I just felt like
Starting point is 00:27:00 that was the same it was just a bunch of white guys and I couldn't keep track of who was doing what and they were talking about Adams all the time and I was lost
Starting point is 00:27:06 I didn't care about it so man it's just not for you 626 said there's no clam slam in the Odyssey that's true now I am going to
Starting point is 00:27:13 refund my ticket we have to so enjoy it Ali I think that I think you'll enjoy it now I don't want to see it Now I think I'm going to do a swap out for Spider-Man. The woman next to me who reminds me of a U-type
Starting point is 00:27:24 was like, I could hear her vocally being like, oh my god, this is great. Oh, this is so good. Like she, I think you'll appreciate it. You didn't tell her to shut up? A couple times I thought about it. You remind me of my annoying co-worker. She was
Starting point is 00:27:39 mesmerized by the whole thing. She's one of those people that didn't stand up and run to the bathroom at the end. She was reading the credits. And she would be appalled by the boobs if they were being shown. quick break we're back with more show next year news and then a new hour can begin let's get into your news now on k rock then a brand new hour of the show will officially begin we'll talk to all of you teachers that did the most unteacher thing this summer you can be totally anonymous we can even change your voice if you'd like us to so you don't lose your job
Starting point is 00:28:02 i'll talk about celebrating teachers having a few months to completely let loose before they have to go back and start teaching again that'll be coming up next hour we have tickets to give you smartless live at the hollywood bowl and get you on that standby list so you can travel all the way to atlanta for shaky knees 50 bands including jimmy world who you'll see once here and then again on the other coast and that'll all be coming up but first there's this grab your adderall it's time for add news it only took a year and a half but now we finally know what caused the eaton fire the fire department finally finished their report and the blame goes to edison everybody's least favorite monthly bill they determined that an electrical arcing of an out of service edison
Starting point is 00:28:46 tower or they call it a zombie line because it's not being used it sparked and then ignited some dry fuel that was right underneath the tower which then spread all the way through altadena i think this is kind of what everybody thought but it is official and just a refresher since the fires have caused around 164 billion dollars in damages how much of that is edison going to pay Well, they have pledged to pay millions of dollars, which is much less than billions of dollars. But they're also suing the city because they don't think that they properly warned people and that they could have done more to prevent the spread. So the blame game just continues and probably will for years. Now, there was another fire, though, of the fires that were started by a person.
Starting point is 00:29:28 The arsonist. The Palisades fire. Well, he started a different fire, which then they said led to the Palisades fire. Led to the Palisades. So this has nothing to do with that. No. Separate fire completely. And this was the one where the videos were kind of showing this, like, blue-white spark.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Yeah. And they were kind of, so it took them a long time to review all the footage that everybody had sent in and determined that it was that tower. Yeah, well, they owe a lot of money, but of course. Hey, Klein, your buddy lost his house, unfortunately, during the Palisades fire. What is that process going? Like, what's happening? Well, he got, I mean, completely on the land. The value of the land is pretty much all he's able to have right now.
Starting point is 00:30:04 It's still an empty lot. So they cleared everything out. It's just a lot now. It's a lot. Now, most of the stuff that he lost, like, possession-wise, he said he got back, like, pennies on the dollar. Because even though you have insurance on stuff, that process has not been good. Well, especially if you're counting on the insurance company to value all that properly, right? So now they have to figure out, you know, with that land, that plot of land, is that land that they try to rebuild on, which they haven't done yet?
Starting point is 00:30:31 Or do they just sell it? And obviously, all these people are trying to come in now and buy up these lots of land for cheap as well. What's your buddy in a perfect world, what would he want to do? He's torn because he said that, like, you know, all of the neighbors, you know, it's one of those things where it's like everyone agreeing we're all going to rebuild here and come back here. Oh, so it's kind of a community effort? And everyone's kind of, like, doing different things. Some people have already moved. He's in a temporary house right now renting something.
Starting point is 00:30:56 But I don't know, man. And the last I chatted, he was like, I don't even think he's gotten paid by, he's still waiting for some money from one of the insurances. What? Still, yeah. That's insane. It's not good. There has to be some kind of a law on how long this crap can take.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Because I've, I mean, on a very minor level, dealt with insurance companies, and it's just the back and forth and the drag out. Dragging your feet sucks. Yeah, they should have some kind of a law where they can't do that for past a certain point. That's insane. A lot of forms. For people's lives.
Starting point is 00:31:29 If you don't like paperwork, that's the worst part about all of that. Losing everything, followed by now you've got to do paperwork. Yeah, that's their one superpower is that they love paperwork. They love it. And everyone else hates it. There's a beauty trend happening that I'm excited about. Or actually, it's an anti-beauty trend, I should say. One thing that women have been cutting out of their routines is getting their nails done.
Starting point is 00:31:47 So you're seeing more women with naked fingernails out there. But now Kiki Palmer is admitting publicly that she doesn't shave her legs. And other people are saying, I'm with Kiki. You may also recall a while back, Emily Radjaskowski, the model, was posting pictures of her with her armpits all grown out. And research now says that one in four women under the age of 25 have stopped shaving their armpits completely. Some women are even going so far as to grow out the downstairs area. It's a pubescence. Or people are just shaving way less often because it's better for your skin.
Starting point is 00:32:17 But this is my era. I am the queen of the pubescence. Allie's been waiting for this moment now so she can go ahead and say that she's a trendsetter. Have you ever seen my nails painted? Never. Never once. Never once. Sally's hands look like they've been working in the fields for hours on end every day.
Starting point is 00:32:34 If I did paint my nails, I would feel like I was in drag. Have you ever had a manicure? I've had a manicure. You have? Yeah, but I always have gotten just like a French manicure where they basically just paint on clear nails. But you don't do any of that stuff that normal women do where you get like gels or... No.
Starting point is 00:32:51 What a waste of money that is. And I've done it on my toes before. and then they're like, it's just a total scam because they're like, you have to do gel but then you can't take off the gel at home. You have to come back here for us to take off the gel and put on new gel. Allie, if you were taking the money out of the equation
Starting point is 00:33:06 and you had all the money to spend on this sort of stuff, would you change, do you think? No. No? I don't think so. I think it's a waste of time. On my fingers. You don't think it would be fun to look down at your hand
Starting point is 00:33:16 and see a different color on there like a Linkin Park After Dark or a red, I was trying to think of some of the stupid things my wife tells me to look at. It would look strange on me. Don't you agree? It would look really strange. Yeah, it's funny.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I don't think I've ever... Say it again. I've never noticed... Like, my wife is a regular, get a manicure regularly. The conversation is always... Like, having naked nails feels like something's missing for her, right? I just got a manicure or I need to get a manicure is like... It's constantly right here.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And the price, it used to be like 20 bucks. Now it's 40 bucks, 60 bucks, 80 bucks. No, it's not. 80 bucks for that? Oh, if you get both, it could be over 100 easily. What? Yes, it's expensive. I thought it was like...
Starting point is 00:33:54 Vanessa, you get your nails done. I thought they do it for free and you tip them or something. I do my own nails all the time. Oh, you do? I love painting my nails. I think it's so fun. Oh, she's a kid. It's relaxing.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I will never follow this trend. Vanessa, do you ever go out with naked nails? I've done it sometimes, and then when I look at my hands, I'm like, mm-mm. What about hairy legs? In the winter. In the winter, girls are not shaving. I hate to break it to you, ladies. I don't think any guy has ever noticed fingers on a woman, ever.
Starting point is 00:34:23 That's a great point. Great point. That nails are for the girls. Paint your nipples, we'll notice. Yeah, I mean, I'm telling you right now, like, there's never once when I've noticed a manicure or a pedicure. I've never noticed it. I just, I wouldn't look that way. Yeah, but have you, so you've never noticed mine not being painted?
Starting point is 00:34:41 No, sometimes I'll be like, Allie, some man is trying to take your wallet. And then I'll realize it's you getting your own wallet. But other than that, I don't, no, I don't notice it. It's funny because I think other women notice, for sure. Really? Exactly. That's why I said the nails are for the girls. They are, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Because if I didn't paint my nails, like I don't paint my nails, and my cousin was like, what are you doing? And I was like, I've never painted my nails. And she was like, well, you should start. I don't get it. I don't either. Win for stoners. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Marijuana use has now surpassed cigarette smoking in the U.S. Wow. There are officially more stoners than smokers. There are an estimated 44 million people using weed, which I'm sure is like 80 million. 44 million. There's no way it's that little. It's got to be higher. It's got to be higher.
Starting point is 00:35:26 And everyone's higher. And that is compared with 36 million cigarette smokers. But they are all surpassed by booze. 130 million people drink, which is about one in three people in America still. All right. Well, we got that going for us. Oh, yeah. We're getting to a brand new hour of the show right now.
Starting point is 00:35:42 And this will be the hour we break down the drama that unfolded at the DMV yesterday for Jake's big birthday bash. that and your tickets to the Hollywood Bowl all coming up.
