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 Frank's body into that. Good morning, everybody. Hey, what up, Klein Alley? Whoa, sweet David Stank, did you see that? Beep a Klein Alley Show.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Let's get the show started. The show started. show started we are live in los angeles three two one and here we go it's klein alley show low 6.7 kroq fm and hd pasadena los angeles orange county the sonic pulse of los angeles this is the world famous k-rock oh yeah welcome to your frequent it's k-rock we are klein alley show nice to meet you thanks for coming back for more We're stumbling upon this accidentally as we are streaming live right now on YouTube and, of course, in your ear holes on the world-famous KROF 106.7.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Or perhaps you're listening to this after the fact on a podcast. Regardless, thanks for hanging out. My name's Klein. There's Allie. Good morning. That is DJ Omar Khan right there. And that is the audio sniper. That's Cranky Jake. What's up? In the back, then you've got producer Vanessa and Postmaster Johnny
Starting point is 00:01:45 taking them calls at 800-520-1067. Wow, we've got so many messages about yesterday's show. Listen, every once in a while we break. You know, we push each other. We like to poke the bear. And yesterday, Jake broke. But, you know, it wasn't our fault. Apparently, Jake is an emotional creature,
Starting point is 00:02:04 and there's only so much that he can put up with. And even though we all thought it was gentle ribbing yesterday, the gentlest of ribbings, you know, I think he was nervous about his comedy show last night. I think that's part of it. And obviously the dating stuff. We did this team-building workshop a couple days ago. We think that that brought up a lot of emotions that have been buried deep within Jake.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Things brim up, and we don't necessarily know because it's all happening behind the scenes, but we definitely know when there's an on-air explosion. I won a lot of fake arguments by myself yesterday. Oh, good for you. Jake blames it on two reasons yesterday, and apparently yesterday he went away from his traditional morning cup of coffee and had a double espresso, and he said that that sent him over the edge. He had too much caffeine coursing through his little veins.
Starting point is 00:02:49 He was all jacked up. And then when he had his anger explosion and then his little tantrum walking around the office here at work, he said he felt this euphoric feeling after he had his blow up. That's after I calmed down. Yeah. During that time, I was on one. I was not feeling good. Yeah, there's a lot of messages about it as well.
Starting point is 00:03:07 But let's not focus on the negative because today's a brand new day. And let's try to be more positive. And let's start with a positive review from Jake's comedy show last night. So here we go. Jake, Glenn, and Allie just went to Jake's comedy show at the Hollywood Improv, and my honest review is it was terrible. The worst thing I ever saw. I wanted my money back.
Starting point is 00:03:26 It was so unfunny the whole time. So thank you for that. That's some honest feedback on the GOAT line about Jake's comedy show. That's exactly what happened. They want their money back. I don't think it was paid. Sorry, I got it for free. Wasn't it free?
Starting point is 00:03:39 Yeah. Give me my free back. This is what the real reviewer said. He did pretty damn good. He was probably one of the funnier comedians on that stage tonight, way better than that guy from Mike and Molly. And I think Jake did great. So keep going, Jake, and don't stop being funny.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Mahjong. Oh, Mahjong. Oh, Mahjong. Mahjong to you, good sir. Thank you for the call. She's funny. She should do stand-up. She should do stand-up.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Oh, by the way, both Charlie and Cindy had two funny lines during the show. They heckled you during your... Not me. They didn't really heckle, but comedians were asking questions, and their comebacks were just beautiful. Really? They're good audience members, because they're supportive, but they're also probably pretty vocal. Here's Blind Charlie, and he won't say anything bad about any of us, to be honest. We did it.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Good morning, you guys. I went to Jake's comedy show at the lab at the Hollywood Improv, and it was... Terrible. I'm a star, but I'm always looking at my machine. And I'm blind. I can't see anything. That's all right. Thank you for that.
Starting point is 00:04:47 That's very rare that he would ever say anything like that. I can't believe it. A lot of fun. There was a lot of kind of alley people representing. Nice. And nobody brought any effing crickets. See, I wish Jake understood. This is the part that got me so upset yesterday as I was thinking about his tantrum.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And we've all had tantrums before from time to time on the show. It happens to all of us, right? But Jake's tantrum bothered me so much because he doesn't realize that the whole reason we were even talking about it was to get some people out there so they could go and support him. And we did. And we did. And then, of course, people call and say, hey, it was a nice turnout of people that were going there to support Jake, which is important. And there are people who do mean things at the show, which we do not support. But this guy, no one brought crickets, as we asked, and they didn't show up with crickets.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And I wish Jake had realized that was the goal of this whole thing was for that, not the thing he got all upset about, which was that his intro to Violent Femmes was a little weird when he focused on his pants. Right, and that he read it off his phone. I'm not going to bring that up again. And Jake had an amazing set. I think this is about the third, maybe the fourth time I've seen him.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Wow, you've got a groupie, Jake. And it was by far his best performance yet. He was comfortable. He was having fun. His flow was really good. He had some new material. Everything about it was fantastic. Nothing to criticize.
Starting point is 00:06:07 It was just fun all around. There you have it. Blind Charlie with an honest review of Jake's comedy show. How many minutes did you do? Everybody did 10. Wow, okay, that's why. Did you run the light? Did you really do 10?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Did you kill it at 10 or did you run the light for a couple minutes? I think I was right on time, actually. And does that give you the bug now? Are you going to go out there and start? Because usually, you know, Ali and I always say our criticism about you is that you will go on stage and get that high of doing comedy, and then you won't do it again for six months. Well, I don't do it a lot because it's hard to get booked.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I don't know a lot of bookers anymore, but now that I'm into this guy's show, I might do it whenever I get a booking. But I know that stand-up comics that really are in the grind, they're going to open mics every night, and they're trying to meet new bookers and get booked in any room they can, right? So were you doing that for a while?
Starting point is 00:06:55 Yeah, and that part is just super hard because you would get in with a booker, and then they quit and you have to start all over and it's just a grind and then going to like a comedy show and then trying to mingle
Starting point is 00:07:05 like it feels like high school all over again and that part sucks. Like I just like doing performing and then getting out, whatever. High school wasn't good for you? No, it sucked.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Oh. I didn't realize that. Sorry about that. So this brings up all that stuff, huh? Well, just like that whole awkwardness of trying to like hang out
Starting point is 00:07:20 and talk to people who don't care to talk to you. Yeah, that's tough. And I imagine though that having that outburst yesterday and doing all the things that lead up, you know, that Klein was talking about,
Starting point is 00:07:30 I think that probably made you better on stage and made you write even funnier stuff. So maybe you could thank us. Oh, wow. Maybe I couldn't. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Next time. Maybe next time. All right. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Thank you. Like the lady said, Mahjong. Well, we think today will be a decent show, but it's a real choose-your-own-adventure in these parts, so you never really know how it's going to go. We will get you tickets, though, as part of KROQ's summer ticket blowout. And maybe, oh, just maybe, we get a thank you. We'll find out.
Starting point is 00:08:01 It's K-Rock. K-Rock, we are Klein Alley Show. We've got Alley's money up for grabs right now. If you want to take it from her on a thrifty Thursday, it's her least favorite day of the week to lose money, even though Friday's very expensive for her, $500 Friday tomorrow. Today is one of those days, boy, she loves to celebrate her cheapness and her El Cheapo ways.
Starting point is 00:08:17 So to lose $100 to you right out of the gate, oh, it puts her in a sour mood. Especially with another baby in the oven. You've got to start saving right away. I've been using it as an excuse, though. It's nice to get out of things. It's a great excuse. Getting out of donating some money to somebody's project recently was nice. It's like, oh, I got a baby on the way.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I think that of all the excuses you can use in life, the I am pregnant, even once the baby's born, having a newborn, that gets you a little bit of leeway. But I think people give you a lot more leeway when you're like, I would, but I'm pregnant. Like, yeah, whatever. Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're pregnant. Especially from other people who don't know what that's like. I was even considering finding an I'm Pregnant bumper sticker to put on the back of my car. I feel like I'd get pulled over less. That's probably a good idea.
Starting point is 00:08:59 How often do you get pulled over? Probably a good idea. A few times a week. Quite a bit. Do you have a driving test today? Today's the day, by the way. I'm very excited. After the show today, it's Allie versus Jake.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Legitimate driving test on the road to figure out who is truly the worst driver on the show. Both of them have the lowest score on the written test. So today's the day we figure out which one of them will have the ultimate punishment, which is spending five hours in the DMV. Four. We're not rounding up to five. It's four. We got four questions wrong.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It's four hours. Well, it'll feel like five at least. It'll feel like 20. Yeah, so you'll be at the DMV for an undisclosed amount of hours. Four. It's disclosed. That's the amount. Maybe two.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I'm saying this because I'm certain I'm going to lose. Maybe go back to the original one. You think you're going to lose the test today? I just don't see it happening, man. I think that you are a, I think you're a worse driver than Jake, but I think that you're going to do a lot of your stupid acting you learned in musical theater college and so when you're around
Starting point is 00:09:57 the person who's going to be monitoring I think you're going to do that like over the top I'm putting my seatbelt on now I'm looking to the left and the right yes but it just takes me one thing to forget I'm also absent minded right now I'm probably going to go into autopilot and forget something well maybe you should get that bumper sticker on your car ASAP so the guy
Starting point is 00:10:12 takes pity on you oh she's pregnant alright let her pass the test I'm going to get a shirt I mean Jake I'm convinced the guy's going to tell Jake he's doing something wrong, and Jake's going to be like, no, I'm not. You're wrong. Does he critique you while you're driving? No, I don't think so. I think he's scoring as you drive. I think he's going to be taking notes on his clipboard
Starting point is 00:10:28 while you do stuff, and I think that you're going to get mad if you write something down. Delete that. Cross that out. If you write something down, you're wrong right now. What are you checking? You're wrong, and I'm right. That's the thing. It's not going to go well for you. Anyway, it's a big day today, but if you want Allie's money
Starting point is 00:10:45 to kick things off for you, call us now. 800-520-1067. Five questions about the news. Do better than Allie and watch her pay the people, and the people are you. Your chance to win after this on KROQ. All right, it's Allie's money for now, but that could change in a moment,
Starting point is 00:10:57 and maybe you listen to KROQ every day because you want to win stuff like tickets or access or the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of your favorite musicians, whatever it is we're giving away that day. Right now, though, it's Allie's money. She hates it. She can't wait to go on some sort of maternity leave
Starting point is 00:11:10 so she doesn't have to give you her money, but what she forgets to remember is that the last time she went away for maternity leave, We continued to play Allie Knows the News, and when you got back, there was a hefty bill waiting for you. So nice to come back to after maternity leave. Pretty sure that's illegal. It's the very least we can do. We say good morning now to Martin, who is listening to the show in Pasadena, California.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And we give Martin the opportunity to battle Allie for $100 of her money. And all you have to do, Martin, is answer some questions about the news correctly and hope that Allie cannot do the same. All right? All right. I got it. All right. I like the confidence. Allie's out of here.
Starting point is 00:11:42 She's leaving the K-Rock studios as soon as she officially hits the halls and the door is shut behind her. She'll be sequestered. You get to answer first. Let's see how you would have done if you're listening along right now to K-Rock. Had you been on the hot seat and this had been your opportunity to win Ali's money. Here we go. Ali knows the news. Okay, over a dozen major record labels are joining forces to try to ban what?
Starting point is 00:12:12 Uh, one ownership? One ownership, okay. I hope the answer's country music. God, I hope. But it's a big deal, and all the record labels are joining forces to attempt to ban something. You say one ownership, Monopoly. We go to question number two. This TV competition show has just been renewed for its 25th season,
Starting point is 00:12:37 and auditions are now officially underway. What show is it? American Idol. Question number three. A hospital in Vietnam has just completed the country's first successful transplant of what? Penis? I'm going to write down penis.
Starting point is 00:13:03 That is what you said, correct? Yes Okay, just making sure We go to question number four This was found in a SoCal lake And it was so big that it actually broke the scale That they tried to weigh it on What was found in a SoCal lake that became scale-breaking?
Starting point is 00:13:23 Go with penis again Go with penis Catfish Catfish And we go to this final question Question number five There's been an update about everyone's favorite bird, Jackie the bald eagle. What is the exciting new update or potentially tragic new update with Jackie the big bear eagle?
Starting point is 00:13:42 She's on life support, but she's alive. On life support, but alive. All right, let's bring Allie in and we will score it together. Don't say anything else. That's Martin right there. And Martin is battling for Allie's money, bragging rights, and an invitation back to the Allie Knows the News Tournament of Champions,
Starting point is 00:14:00 State TBD. We've got a question number one, Allie. Yes, I'm here. A dozen major record labels are joining forces to try to ban what? Hmm, AI music? Ah. I feel like there's a lot of that now.
Starting point is 00:14:16 You said they're trying to ban any sort of a monopoly of them joining forces to create one label, but the correct answer is in this particular case, They are trying to ban AI music specifically from getting on the charts where they have, you know, their artists have songs, but they are attempting to stop this AI from potentially ruining the music industry, especially if it's sound alikes for the artists that they already represent. They're still going to ruin the music industry. But the thing is, we tested and we can tell the difference. Yes, we can for now. But I mean, it'll get smarter.
Starting point is 00:14:46 It's improving by the day. And, you know, once I can, you know, I think do a real good jelly roll. We're all done for. Yeah, that's it. Once I can do jelly roll cooked. We go to question two. Ali's up one nothing. This TV show, TV competition show is about to shoot its 25th season and they've just started auditions for it yet again.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's got to be Survivor. OK, it's a good guess. He said American Idol. That's been on a long ass time too One of you is right, one of you is wrong Someone's getting the point here It is not Ali American Idol, 25th season
Starting point is 00:15:25 Congratulations, Martin has tied things up now 1-1 as we go to question number 3 A hospital in Vietnam What? Has just successfully completed The country's first transplant Of what? Let's go
Starting point is 00:15:41 Let's go with penis I don't know I want to say penis. Yeah, I do too, Vanessa. Everyone wants to say penis. That's what Martin said too, by the way. Really? Everyone's saying penis today.
Starting point is 00:15:53 He said penis too? He did say. Right, Martin? You said penis? Yep, that's wrong. No way. What are the chances? It'd be so funny if you're all right.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Is that true? And the correct answer is this country is celebrating the first successful transplant of a penis. No way! That is the correct answer. What? Wow. And that's just an amazing medical breakthrough. I don't know why that's not bigger news, but I'm glad we covered it here.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Why wouldn't then every man who's not happy transfer or get a few inches added? You'd have to wait for someone else to die, and then it'd have to be a donor, a boner donor, the whole thing. Yeah, so, I mean, it's the whole thing. Add that to your driver's license. Yeah, to have a boner donor. I see that you're a boner donor. Oh, great. Can you trade, like, ethnicities?
Starting point is 00:16:37 I think probably. Do you know what I mean? Sure, why not? Oh, man. I don't know. Once again, I don't know. Oh, my God. I'm 4% African-American.
Starting point is 00:16:47 You are. Here's my 4%. We got a question number four now, and we are still all tied up, courtesy of Penis. We got a question four. What was found in a SoCal lake that was so big it actually broke the scale that it was weighed on? Oh, a fish. It was a fish. I need more specific.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I think it was a catfish. Ah, he also said catfish. Wow. Now, this was a big deal, and I don't know why it's such a big deal. Apparently, somewhere in Southern California, in a lake, there's a catfish known as Catzilla. And Catzilla has not been found yet. Catzilla is living under the water. But some guy caught a third, and that thing's north of 50 pounds.
Starting point is 00:17:23 This thing, I think, was 30 pounds, the one that's making the news right now. And when it went away, it actually broke the scale, which is incredible and also hilarious as we welcome Fat Alley back to our lives. But anyway. Try and catch me. We both, we can't. It's impossible. We can't catch you. Also very easy.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Alleyzilla. We go to this final question now, and it is tied up and exciting. I can't believe it's come down to this. The final question. There's been an update as to the health of everyone's favorite SoCal bird by the name of Jackie. It's either very good or very tragic. What is the most recent health update about Jackie the bald eagle? Yeah, I think she's just getting a little better.
Starting point is 00:18:03 She's out of the ICU. Okay, he said she's on life support. No, I don't think she's on life support. The update is that she has now been taken off. She's now out of the ICU. Allie is correct. And in a regular unit with encouraging health updates, she may fly again. And sadly, even though you said penis and catfish, Martin, Allie does get the final point.
Starting point is 00:18:24 You do not. What must you shamefully admit over the airwaves of KROQ? Go ahead. My name is Martin, and Allie knows the news. I'm sorry, Martin. Consolation prize. You do sound sad about it. We're going to send you to Vietnam for a very experimental surgery.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So hold on one second so we can get you over there. And it'll be a choose-your-own-D on KROQ. KROQ, we are a client-only show. If you need us, phones are 800-520-1067. You can call, you can text, you can join the show lots of ways. A little bit later this morning, one of the greatest humans to ever live, Chicken Charlie, is making his way from the OC Fairgrounds to the KROQ studios with his latest concoction. This is the man that invented the deep-fried Oreo.
Starting point is 00:19:06 He's the guy that decided Kool-Aid isn't just for drinking, it's for deep-frying. He's the king of the fair circuit. He is the king. He has created, he's been oftentimes imitated by many other, you know, you go to the fair because you want to eat deep-fried butter. I get it. But Chicken Charlie is the inventor of many of these items. He's dedicated his life to finding new items to fry. Local legend.
Starting point is 00:19:25 He says every year he brings friends and family into his backyard. He's got that giant bucket of boiling oil, and they just throw stuff in it and see what tastes good. and then they put it on the fair menu. So he'll be stopping by the K-Rock Studios a little bit later today. It's all part of our goal to make Ali fat again, Maffa, and we'll be giving away some Maffa hats as we celebrate the Chicken Charlie coming by later this morning. I have a question.
Starting point is 00:19:45 I have a friend who, you know, we met each other in California, lived in the same city for many years, got close, came to my wedding, you know, all that stuff. I get it. You're upset I didn't come to your wedding. Well, I have this other friend that came to my wedding. Great. Must have been nice for that person.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Should I be mad about my other friend didn't come? Yeah, I'm sorry. Once again, apologies. Five years ago, I'm really sorry. That steak is still sitting there in Portland, Oregon. I'm sure it is. No, my friend, a few years ago, moved away from California. She decided to be one of those people who moves out of California,
Starting point is 00:20:18 and she moved to the East Coast all the way to North Carolina. Good riddance. Goodbye. Look, if she was able to get a great house, she works remote so she can work anywhere. She's living a great life, right? I don't like the people that leave here and then try to really rub it in our, like, it's fine. She's not one of those, I will say. But already how you're setting this up is, oh, my God, I left.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I got this beautiful house, which would have cost, it would have been paying what I paid for a studio apartment in Hollywood. She did say it was too big. Right. I mean, yeah, the people that always leave. I can't keep up with it. I'm more than, if you want to leave, and there's a bunch of reasons to leave. I get it. There's family stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's expensive as hell to live here Barely just trying to survive All that, I get it But if you leave, just leave and be happy Don't rub it in our faces if we're still here Oh, she is I know someone like that too She's got money to travel
Starting point is 00:21:12 She just got back from Bali You know what I paid for dinner last night? $11 for a whole dinner I get it, things are expensive here It sucks So we visited her once after she set up shop Got her house and everything I think it was about a year after she moved.
Starting point is 00:21:28 We flew out there, spent a few days with her in North Carolina. We also went to Boston and a couple other places. Katie brings up yesterday, it's time for us to go visit this friend again. And I'm like, what? She's like, well, it's our turn. She's come to see us a couple of times, and she's been to California. She comes every year to visit other friends and do things just because she travels a lot. Well, she used to live here, so she's got multiple reasons to come back here.
Starting point is 00:21:52 You don't have any reasons. We don't know anyone in North Carolina except for her. So I would argue it's like a four to one ratio of visits. Right. Okay. So that was my question is, is there a requirement for how many times you should visit a friend if they move away? If my family member, like my mom moved out of California too, I got to still visit my
Starting point is 00:22:09 mom. She's my mom. Or like you moved away from your hometown, you got to visit your family. That's your obligation, right? There's an obligation. And usually this one, it feels like it's a two to, because ever since I got kids, when i was single and it was just me it the expectation was that i would come home more often once a year probably it was just me at least once a year because it was just me and i would fly back
Starting point is 00:22:31 once i outnumbered them then the obligation became uh either a 50 50 split or they come every two times for every one time i go there okay but it changes as your family gets bigger sure right because it's more expensive it's harder to visit and people have schedules and stuff right you can't just randomly you know pull kids out of school you know go see their grandparents so i think now we separate the fact that it's not a family member it's a friend a very good very close friend and a very uh a friend that we that visits often but what is the requirement for us or the expectation right she hasn't said anything she's single she's uh no she has a boyfriend now right but no kids no kids no but and she's also and she can work anywhere so that's
Starting point is 00:23:14 what i was saying to my wife i was like well if it's much easier for her to visit she already visits on her own on a regular basis, I don't understand why you're saying this is the right thing to do. We have to go out there. Not that I don't want to. When people move, especially friends, you have to do the whole we're going to stay in touch. We're going to
Starting point is 00:23:32 see each other all the time. I've said that to people that moved to the west side of LA. I've never seen them again. Oh, yeah. There are friends that I had past tense because they moved to Silver Lake. That's not happening. I have friends that live in the valley and they're like, we're moving to Brentwood. And I said, hey, it's been real. I wish you the best.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I'll never see you again though I have a family member, a cousin who lives in Huntington And we probably see each other Oh my god, my friends have moved to Orange County We've always talked about it And then when we do visit each other It's like, we're like Look what we did
Starting point is 00:24:03 Look what we did for you What we accomplished One of my super best friends Moved to Vegas And I visit her at least once a year That's easy though I put Vegas in a different category for a few reasons.
Starting point is 00:24:19 That's like going to Orange County, like you guys were mentioning. It's closer, actually. No, there's more to do in Vegas. Yeah, in Vegas, there's a reason to always go there regardless. And that's why I actually talked to someone that moved to Vegas, too,
Starting point is 00:24:31 and they said, actually, they see so many more people now because there's always, every other weekend, there's someone that's in Vegas for whatever, and they get to see them. Yeah, great. So you can just be a part of their visit
Starting point is 00:24:39 because they're probably going to be visiting anyway. But you're talking about just planning a special trip because a friend decided... And in North Carolina. Right, exactly. Forget about it. I had a friend move to Kentucky, never seen him again. What's the best friend scale here?
Starting point is 00:24:51 Like, is she a 10 of best friend, or is she, like, a friend? No, she's a best friend. I don't know from 1 to 10. How special? Like a 9, 8 or 9? Oh, yeah, you have to visit. God, man. What if I said a 6?
Starting point is 00:25:04 But I don't. It's just 6. You don't have to see her that often. And she would be happy. If we said we're going to fly out there, she would be happy to have us. She would be happy to entertain us and all that stuff. But I'm like, do you know how much more expensive it is for three people to visit? 562 says my boyfriend's family lives in San Bernardino.
Starting point is 00:25:21 He hasn't seen them since December. I mean, that's technically like we're all in the same area. We're still all in, you know, it's all technically Southern California, but forget that. And even my dad is like, hey, we're going to visit soon. No expectation for you to visit us. You've got a family. We're just retired old people. We can visit.
Starting point is 00:25:38 If you're asking, if you're asking what is the obligation, then clearly, Allie, this is no friend of yours. because you should be excited about going to see them. Not that I wouldn't like to visit. I would like to visit. But if I'm going all the way across the country, I'm not doing that over a weekend or a three-day. Katie was going, we should do it over a three-day weekend. I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:25:59 And the average person, if you're working a job, maybe you get, let's just call it two weeks a year of some variety. One around the holidays. One of those is going to be sucked up by family obligations. Exactly. So you've got one maybe floater. And then you've got to decide, now, is this friend so much of a friend? That it's going to be a week visit?
Starting point is 00:26:19 And you've got to tell them, look, I've crunched the numbers. I don't think you're worth it. And you're out. You're out. You've just got to say. You're a nine. Yeah, tell them if they move back to somewhere near you, then maybe you'll see them more often. Move to Silver Lake and maybe I'll see you.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Yeah, that's a bit of a hike, though. You've got to deal with that. That's traffic. I don't like that either. So a lot of thoughts on this. Everyone's got their own opinions about it. But regardless, we have to take this quick break. We're back in a moment.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We've got news next. Then we have your tickets if you want those. So don't go anywhere. More KROQ after this. KROQ. World famous KROQ. KROQ. Klein, Ellie, show.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Klein, Ellie, show. I just want to point out, Ellie, because this is coming through on the text line right now. You're pregnant right now. And if you just wait it out, there'll be an obligation on her to come out and meet the baby. Ah, I've got to wait out so the obligation switches. If you just wait it out a little bit, then she, because then we'll not be expected of you. That's another, that's a great trump card you can play is that, oh, by the way, you got to come out and everyone's got to go meet the baby. Well, it's funny because Katie said, no, you got to do it now before you can't.
Starting point is 00:27:25 No, no, you're smart. It's good. Good texture. It's very smart. You got to read this text line. We'll be right back. More show next. To your news in just a moment, the ADD news.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I'll tell you, I'm surprised, Allie, because you are a lesbian that you don't cover more WNBA news in the ADD news. and maybe it's because you don't think people care. I just don't want to hear you make fun of it. Oh, I may be the biggest WNBA fan out there. I went to a game this week. And you made another layup joke. Well, they do have a lot of layups. Some of them don't go in, but I still enjoy watching.
Starting point is 00:27:53 And I'll tell you, the drama happening on the WNBA, don't take my word for it. You have a lesbian listener that wants to call and tell you why you, of all people, should get in on the WNBA trend now. It may be too late. You may have missed the bus already. In fact, Allie could mush it if she gets involved. Hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Okay, so, Allie, I got some tea for you. We met a few years ago at that WNBA game when we were in a suite when Kaitlyn Clark was playing. Yes. I am so disappointed to learn that you have not been keeping up with the WNBA. It's getting crazy. Last weekend was the lesbian Super Bowl, a.k.a. All-Star Weekend. The fact that you called yourself a lesbian, you didn't even know that last weekend was WNBA All-Star Weekend? Shame on you.
Starting point is 00:28:36 The lesbian Super Bowl. I know. I don't keep up with WNBA. I should. There's a sex scandal happening in the WNBA right now. Listen to this. And everything came to a head. Kaitlyn Clark has members of Congress writing letters to the WNBA saying that players are
Starting point is 00:28:51 jealous of her because she's straight and white. She's not good for the sport because she's straight, supposedly. But listen to what's happening. Also, two teammates are now fighting because one of the teammates dated another teammate's ex. And then that ex came forward and said they only did that because the girl cheated on her with two of the rookies on the Las Vegas Aces. I mean, can you imagine this is happening right now? These players are all banging each other in the WNBA.
Starting point is 00:29:17 It's like the L word all over again on the court. Why are they not making a bigger deal about this? I'm making this a show. This is wild stuff. This is how the WNBA can make money is make a reality show about the WNBA. Yeah. The playing on the court, that's secondary. Playing with each other in the locker room, that's what we want.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I mean, listen to this. We have exes playing against each other. We have girls playing against their ex's side piece that were together secretly while they were dating. You get to tune in and watch all of these things unfold on the court. The NBA can't do that. Listen, you make a good point. I think that this is the drama that we all need and want. And drama mixed with the actual competition.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Yes, I know. And the lesbian world can be very incestuous. People will stay and they will date each other's exes. They'll date their friends and they'll go back to being friends and they'll date other people's exes. So all of that is happening anyway. And the fact that it's happening in the WNBA, even better. This is fantastic stuff. And I hope this woman, whoever you are, this WNBA insider, calls more regularly with these scandalous updates.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah, help keep us up to date. Because I agree. I don't know why. I went to the game the other night. It was crowded but not full. They didn't put any of this on the Jumbotron. None of this. I want the stats up there.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I forget about this points per game and crap. Give me who else they slept with on the other teams. You're like a sex tree of who slept with each other. I need to know exactly what's going on, and I'm in. I will buy all your merch. I'll be your biggest fan. Is 29 effing 18? I need to know.
Starting point is 00:30:42 That's what I want to see. You do little chalk drawings. She's effing her, her, her, and her. Days to date. We get into your news now. Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD News. There's a lot of debate about how much tech should be incorporated into schools.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Recently, a school had introduced an AI robot named Sally to help around the classroom, but she's already been fired because the people who made her also make sex robots. But here's another tech addition that's being talked about, and this would be to make schools safer, which is, of course, always in the conversation. This would be a pepper spray drone that can fly in and spray down any dangerous individuals that might make their way on campus. These drones can zoom across a school campus in just seconds. Their goal? Help stop an active shooter.
Starting point is 00:31:27 So obviously that's one of many emergency situations that can happen at a school. And of course, unfortunately, they happen more frequently. So what can you do? Get some drones in there. At least nine schools in Florida, Georgia, and Colorado are now being equipped with the drones, which are designed to distract a school shooter until police arrive by flashing strobe lights, sounding sirens, and spraying pepper gel. The aircraft, called Campus Guardian Angel, can ram into a threat at 50 miles per hour. That's pretty fast.
Starting point is 00:31:57 That's cool. And if you imagine that it would go, and I mean, I don't think the strobe lights really make any kind of a difference, but the fact that something is spraying you in the face with pepper spray as you're trying to do something horrible to somebody else, like that's, but the thing is that the teachers have to find a way to deploy these. You don't know what you're talking about. Those strobe lights things are really disorienting. They work tremendously well. Yeah, if they are bright enough.
Starting point is 00:32:21 If they're bright enough and they start dancing. Sometimes those... They'll be like, hold on a minute. There's some of these TV shows you watch now where they put some weird warning before the show starts that says flashing lights could be disorienting for certain viewers. I have one of these flashlights that actually the police use, and it has this feature where it strobes, and I did it to my brother, and he just was flipping out. But even in the daylight, does it have that big of an effect?
Starting point is 00:32:46 I feel like that's the thing that affects you more when it's dark. I mean, when I did it, it was during the day, and it was disoriented because it was so bright. Remember when you brought in that stupid light to try to give us better? Yeah, I still have it at home. Allie tried to cure our seasonal depression by bringing some light in the studio, and that was not a strobe light. That was just a regular bright light, but I found that disorienting as hell. Nothing was blasting. You said those on the drones.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Now you're happy. Get out of here. You're not a school shooter anymore. You're happy. All right, an update on Jackie and Shadow, the drama. Jackie has become one of the most famous, if not the most famous, bald eagle in the world. And they have another health update for her. She is out of the ICU.
Starting point is 00:33:23 She got a blood transfusion from another less famous eagle. And they say she's not going to be released anytime soon. She's still very sick. She needs intensive treatment, but it's encouraging. Meanwhile, at the nest, the eagles have finally left. They finally left the nest. And I feel sad because they left thinking that their mom, like, went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came back. And they're going to be gone.
Starting point is 00:33:45 They got on with those birds. It's very sad. Yeah, they're going to have eagle issues. Eagle issues. Eagle issues. Eagle issues. Eagle issues. We had one day of cooler weather.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Now we're back in another heat wave. But just know that if you turn your fan on in your place to help you stay cool, there are health issues with that as well. They say to be careful when you constantly have the fan on because it can stir up all these allergens in the room. It can make snoring worse. It kicks up dust, pollen, dander It can trigger allergies, hay fever It can worsen the asthma And it can also, I guess, create stiff muscles
Starting point is 00:34:22 Which can help you cramp up And it can screw up your blood flow And things like that It can also lead to dry skin And they say if you're going to have your fan on You need to have it away from you It can't be right on you And I know that feels good
Starting point is 00:34:34 But it needs to oscillate in a different part of the room I understand, because on an airplane They say you want to have that AC pointed right at you Because you're getting the fresh air And you would think it's doing the same thing. It's blowing around all the gunk on the plane. But in your own house, I guess you've got way more gunk. Yeah, there's way more gunk in there.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Have you ever looked at the other side of a fan? These things are disgusting. It is. When you get to a point where the fan, I've had fans that have stopped spinning because they have built up so much. It's picked up so much just dust and whatever that is, dead skin. Yeah, it's dander. It's all kinds of bacteria in there. It's gross.
Starting point is 00:35:08 That's when you know it's time to move, I think. I can't possibly clean this fan. I need to leave. It's all the stuff you find under a piece of furniture when you finally move it after years. You're like, oh, my God, I've been living on top of such a rectangle of dust under your bed. We get into a brand new hour of the show right now. This is the hour we give you access to a water park with a cabana and $100 for food and beverage. We've got that to look forward to.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Thanks to our friends at Wild Rivers. We'll make that happen for you. But so much more, including KROX. Less than an hour to go until KROX summer ticket blowout with tickets coming your way this morning right here.
