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 Frank's body into that.
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
ruin my hole
got sleep in my eyes clouds in my head i need a shot of something to make my motor go
yes i do
Whoa, that is a giant dog.
We have the herd.
Hey, good night.
I said, get your motor running with a climb.
And then they show me
Cyclosporosyass, a.k.a. Exploding Ass.
It's Klein Alley Show.
Low 6.7, KROQFM and HD Pasadena.
Los Angeles, Orange County.
The Sonic Pulse of Los Angeles.
This is the world famous K-Rock.
Hell yeah, good morning and welcome to a brand new week.
It is Monday here on K-Rock.
We are Klein Alley Show.
Pleasure to meet you.
Oh, thanks for coming back for more.
Some people still recovering from Friday.
Some people say that was the weirdest show they ever heard us do.
I just have to say Friday's show was one of the most wildest, craziest things I've heard in a long time.
I think one of my favorite parts was when one of my parents was trying to impregnate Allie.
And you just hear a little voice in the background going, no, no.
It was Vanessa.
You can hear the voice of concern in her voice.
and you guys were completely ignoring her.
But it was crazy.
But again, my favorite part was hearing Vanessa completely worried,
hearing her little voice in the background.
That was an interesting show to say the least.
But Allie was impregnated by a one-armed Gary who now has two arms,
although that second arm is a bit wonky.
But it was not impregnated by a one-armed Gary or a one-armed Charlie, as that person said.
He did give you the final shot of progesterone in your butt.
So today Allie is not getting injected.
Oh, my God.
I'm just so happy.
If you've been tuning in for the nudity, I'm sorry.
Today is going to be a big disappointment.
Allie's pants are going to stay on for the entire show.
You know, I realize that this whole process has been confusing for a lot of people.
And seeing some of the comments on the one-armed Gary shot video that went up yesterday,
someone was like, why is she doing shots again?
I don't understand.
I thought she got pregnant already.
And someone was like, she lost the baby.
They're doing it all over again.
And I'm like, what?
Like, they just don't.
I know you've explained it to me, Allie.
I can't keep up either.
You don't even know if I'm pregnant.
And I was trying to explain to someone else what the hell is going on.
Because now, once you know someone that went through the IVF process and everyone else is in a struggle, you've got to give them that feel-good story.
So I was talking to someone who was all bummed out because they just had another fail, I guess.
And I said, well, my lesbian co-host has a lesbian wife who put her womb inside of her tummy.
And they had a, oh, forget it.
I don't know.
And I just gave up.
I don't even know what's happening.
But I do know that you are pregnant right now.
I am.
That much I do know.
Are you confirming that with me?
That I'm confirming, I believe.
And we're growing.
We'll have to check in with your stomach later and see what the baby's saying.
But other than that.
It's my biggest regret through this whole process is having to hear that bit again.
Don't worry.
It's insufferable.
Omar can turn the mics up louder.
So if you don't want to participate, we can hear it.
But anyway.
Let's talk to the baby.
Allie's pregnant right now.
So if you're wondering why she's all emotional and mood swingy, that'll explain it.
Right?
Yeah, that helps.
Thank you so much.
She loves that.
The rest of us are not pregnant.
I think we both got bad sleep all weekend for totally different reasons.
Oh, God.
I'll talk about my all-nighter in Vegas.
Was I successful or not?
Some people were thrilled to see me go.
I was surprised.
I'm always surprised when I end up anywhere.
I always assume most plans I make are not going to happen.
Yeah, I know.
I saw the video of you just on the plane, and I was like, oh, look at that.
Most people are like, whoa, look at that.
And then I'm equally surprised when you come back.
I'm like, look at that.
He made it back.
I as well.
So we'll get into that a little bit later.
Of course, Jake has been apparently getting some nice action on his dating apps
ever since Allie went through and fixed him up with Vanessa's help.
So we'll see how that's looking.
And we've got tickets for you today, lots of tickets.
If you want to go see The Killers, Jack White, Sublime, and more,
the new Ocean Way Festival, you'll be at the debut episode of that entire festival
happening in Santa Monica on September 26th.
We have tickets for you a couple of times today, starting at 9 and then again at 10.
and the newest roller coaster in Southern California.
You will be on it.
That's right.
We're sending you to Universal Studios
to experience Fast and Furious like never before.
So all of that is coming up and so much more.
If you need us, phone's open, text line open.
Good to be back together again on KROQ.
We are Kline Alley Show.
KROQ, we are Kline Alley Show.
Good afternoon, Kline and Alley.
You guys aren't stupid.
You're the greatest show on radio.
We'll prove that wrong over the next four hours together.
in a moment you'll have a chance to take some of Allie's money
and if you want it I recommend you get on the phones now
800-520-1067
five questions about the news, do better than Allie
and watch her pay the people. Friday she almost came
close to paying out that $500
I did, yes. But we gave away some of that
sweet limited edition merch and I know what you're thinking
if you're calling today and there's already been people
on the text line saying, are you guys continuing
to hook us up with all that merch?
And the answer is, I completely forgot
that we have it, but yes I think
we still have some things left. Oh yeah, we have plenty
left i already saw people wearing some of the shirts i wore a i've never been intimate with
jake's shirt over the weekend for my pajamas and it was a huge c-block oh really no one wants to
have sex with you either the shirt is so powerful no one will want to be intimate with you yeah like
i changed and i came downstairs and katie looked at me and went oh man i'm sorry wow okay i guess
sex is out of the question we sat on opposite sides of the couch while we watched a movie
But it's a comfortable shirt.
People are demanding it, and I wish we had...
I know some people say, look, it's not fair.
You're not selling it, but we don't believe in...
We don't believe in making money in this country.
Yeah, we don't believe in profit around here.
We also don't believe in taking advantage of the listeners.
You give us some of your time every day.
You listen to the show.
You download.
Every once in a while, you subscribe or check us out on YouTube.
That's all we could possibly ask for.
We don't need you to also, on top of everything else, spend money on shirts.
But this woman says she wants to.
Hey, guys.
I'm catching up on today's show, and I just saw the cool merch you have.
the shirts the hats and i know that you said that you're not going to make people pay for it you're
going to give it away which is really nice but i want to give you money for that merch please
please please please please make it sellable and if it's like k-rock being like we don't want to
buy a bunch of shirts we'll put the money up please take pre-orders and just order what you
sell please we really want to support you guys i want to wear those shirts i want to wear those
hats all the time
begging you.
I mean, look, I know what she's saying. What she's saying
is that's what good business would be, right?
That's a good business plan. Oh, we'll have people pre-order.
They'll pay in advance and we'll make what we sell.
Didn't we try something like that
but we failed miserably? Yeah, K-Rock tried
that. Yeah, that was not us. That was
the K-Rock shop and they thought
but even that was a terrible, everything
about that was not good. Oh, they shut it down.
They shut it down real quick.
The K-Rock shop went the way of
suit plantation except without the people and bed bath and beyond without the people demanding
it come back even those places had a bunch of people like bring it back yeah without the people
going oh man i'm gonna miss that yeah so there was an attempt to do that uh wasn't johnny one
of the models that was i think where they went wrong i think johnny was one of the models for
the k-rock shop and i think it was just him uh naked in a room full of the bosses here and they
had no shirt for him to model but i do have a pair of k-rock slides that are pretty cool yeah those
were never officially made for the general public
because they contain the lead.
I'm up here in the Bay Area,
and I want to wear my Client Alley Show shirt and hat.
Thank you.
Please.
You just got to keep listening.
Help me eat those things.
Yes, it's much more fun to win them from us.
You'll have a chance.
Don't worry, we'll have chances for you
to win some of that stuff coming up.
In fact, we'll throw another piece of new merch in the mix
if you miss out on Allie's money this morning.
So play the game.
If you win, you get $100.
If you lose, a limited edition piece
of Client Alley Show merch.
We'll come back with that,
And then we've got lots of show to get into this morning and lots to give you.
So be ready to call and play and interact starting immediately at 800-520-1067.
That is next.
Think of how much better your Monday will be if you have an extra $100 to go out and blow on God knows what.
That money could be yours in a moment if you do better than Allie with five questions about the news.
But don't worry because even if you lose, you don't get the $100.
You will still get yourself a piece of limited edition Klein Alley Show merch.
It is not stuff you will ever see at the Met Gala.
but they are shirts that say things like I've never been intimate with Jake on them
or hats that say 323-TIP-BOLI.
Regardless, you can get yourself some merch if you are wrong,
but if you win, $100 could be yours.
We say hi to Daniel in Gardena.
Good morning, Daniel. Welcome to KROQ.
Awesome. Great start.
Hello, Daniel.
Daniel? I'm going to assume I'm wrong here.
Can you hear me? Hello? Good morning.
Good morning, Daniel. Thanks for joining us.
I was so close to hanging up on you.
By a second, you came through.
Let's get into your round.
I regret doing this, but we will continue to play with you regardless.
Allie will leave the KROQ studios now.
I feel great about this.
As soon as she's out of here, you will get to go.
Please answer these questions quickly, confidently, and accurately.
No cheating.
Let's see how the rest of the world would have done
had they been on the hot seat right now.
And here we go.
Allie knows the news.
We start with probably the biggest story in the world.
Jackie, famous Big Bear Eagle Jackie of the power couple Jackie and Shadow has been injured.
Bad news.
Omar thought about taking a personal day today.
Yeah, that's true.
What is the reason or how do they believe Jackie got injured?
Fire.
Fire.
Oh, man.
We've got a question number two.
Only one red card was given out during the World Cup finals yesterday to a player from what team?
Argentina.
Question three.
The FDA is apologizing to who after saying that perhaps they're not the reason that people were getting leaky ass?
Taylor Farms.
Question number four.
We talked about how this movie, The Odyssey, is doing quite well here in America.
But globally, just how much money did it haul in its opening weekend?
$275 million.
$275 million.
And final question.
Speaking of millions, there's a new number out there.
They say this is how much money you should have if you'd like to retire in America.
Americans believe that this is the new number you must have if you want to ever retire.
What is that number?
Two million.
Two mil.
All right.
Let's bring Allie in.
We'll score together once again on those questions about money.
To whoever's closest, we'll get the point.
And here we go.
You're battling Daniel.
He started slow, but he's come back strong, Allie.
He's not as much of a dummy as you were probably hoping for.
I was hoping for a dummy.
Pressure's on, and question number one.
Biggest story in the world.
Sadly, Jackie, of the power couple Jackie and Shadow, Big Bear Eagle, has been injured.
How do they believe Jackie was injured?
I believe she got in a bitch fight with some other eagles.
All right, he said fire-related, but the correct answer is it was an eagle-on-eagle fight that took place.
Yeah, like that brawl at the In-N-Out, but with eagles.
With eagles, and I don't know if there's anything more patriotic or more symbolic of what this country is like right now than two eagles fighting.
I know.
What's the world coming to?
That is the correct answer.
Eagle on eagle violence?
Eagle on eagle is Allie's favorite genre of porn, and she is part of it.
So we've got a question two.
Allie's up 1-0.
Question two.
The FDA is now apologizing to who after saying that perhaps they were not responsible for everyone getting leaky ass.
Oh, Taco Bell?
Oh, interesting.
Allie says Taco Bell.
The correct answer is not Taco Bell.
FDA is apologizing to Taylor Farms.
Really?
Taylor Farms is the people that supposedly provided the lettuce that went to Taco Bell.
But Daniel said Taylor Farms, and now he has tied things up 1-1.
T-Farms?
With the apology going to Taylor Farms directly.
FDA says they'll never apologize to Taco Bell for nothing.
We go to question number three.
It is all tied up.
There was only one red card given out during the World Cup.
Yesterday, finals.
Which team, which player on which team got them?
Not what player.
Which player on which team?
Not player.
The player on which team received the red card.
It was Argentina.
He got that as well.
Argentina.
I couldn't tell you one player.
Controversial red card, but still.
Did it change anything?
It made things a little more interesting for a few minutes.
We go to question number four, and it's still tied up with two questions left.
We talked about how much money the Odyssey made here in America, but worldwide, how much
money did that movie, The Odyssey, bring in?
Yeah, I think it made $260 million.
All right, he said $275 million.
I said closest would get the point.
Correct number, globally, was $254 million.
Allie gets closer, so she gets the point.
And it comes down to this final question as Allie goes up by one again.
It's a real back-and-forth battle.
They now believe that you need this much money if you'd like to retire in America.
This is the new number that has been released,
and this is the number that Americans believe
that they need to have
if you would like to comfortably,
or even uncomfortably,
you just want to retire, not work anymore,
how much money do you have to have,
I guess, liquid or in the bank or whatever?
What is the number?
$75 billion.
Is that your real guess?
I'm going to guess $3 million.
He said $2 million.
But the good news is,
if you're smart about it,
you pull an Omar and you know exactly what you're doing,
you can retire with $1.2 million.
No way.
That's what they say.
And that's America, by the way.
It's a lot cheaper to live in a lot of places in America other than right here.
So, you just are an agoraphobe and never leave your house?
Maybe.
And have dinner?
You just have one meal a day?
Move to Vermont or something?
Or some other flyover place?
I don't know.
Well, anyway.
You better hope you get dementia or something.
He was closer.
So, once again, this thing ends in a boring-ass tie.
A little less interesting than the game yesterday.
So, that being said, ties go to the house around here.
so Allie has no money for you.
But, Daniel, you do have your choice
of some limited edition Klein Allie Show merch.
What do you want?
Hat? Shirt?
I'd love a hat.
All right.
We're going to go ahead and send you a Make Allie Fat Again
since you just beat her almost in the round of Allie Knows the News.
You're going to get your very own Moffa hat, all right?
All right. Very excited. Thank you all.
What must you shamefully admit over the airwaves of K-Rock?
Go ahead.
My name is Daniel, and Allie knows the news.
Tomorrow morning around this time,
another chance for you to win some of Allie's money
or at least some of our merch on KROQ.
Good morning.
KROQ, we're your client alley show.
Jake, is it true you've got a roommate in the shack?
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's funny for us, but you don't find it very funny, huh?
Yeah, it sucks.
It's progressively getting worse and worse.
Usually it's just crickets at my show.
That's probably what they're saying, too.
Yeah.
Probably what the roommates say.
Your comedy regime?
Jake, as you know, is the king of the crickets,
And when he performs comedy, it doesn't matter where he goes.
There always is the sound of crickets, which is the universal sign of what is being said is not funny.
Yeah, it's wild because one of the first sets that we heard him do, he gave us the audio and we listened to it.
And you can literally hear tons of crickets in the background.
And I guess you were performing outside?
Yeah, that show was outside.
He always has a reason why the crickets are there.
And the first one, it made a little sense because he's like, well, the show is outside, so what do you expect?
And we go, all right, fine.
But then we saw him at a bar in North Hollywood that was inside, and the crickets were there as well.
Yeah, that's because someone was playing them.
Well, that particular time.
Do you remember during the drive-thru where the guy was like, oh, there was crickets there, too?
I know.
They follow him around.
He's like the Pied Piper.
Yeah, you went to the drive-thru, right, the new drive-thru confessions, and we also heard crickets there.
Yes, it's ridiculous.
Because I never hear them.
Do you?
Well, Jake claims that he now has crickets that have moved into his shack.
And this is some of the audio that he hears at his house.
Oh, my God.
And this is inside, Jake?
This is inside this morning.
That scratching you here is Kibby on the rug.
I've been trying to kill herself.
She's trying to dig herself out of there.
I've got to dig myself a hole.
Trying to tear her ears off.
Oh, my God.
That's probably so much more annoying for a dog, too.
Of course.
And the thing is, you can't find it.
I know where it's at, because when I tap on that part of the ceiling or the wall, it shuts up for like 30 seconds.
But then I can hear that over my AC all night from like 9 p.m. to this morning.
Jake, I would think for a guy like you that hears crickets everywhere you go in your life,
that you would at this point just be kind of, it would just be background noise.
You wouldn't even notice it.
I was hoping so, too, but no.
Yeah, because, I mean, you really do, you are constantly surrounded by crickets.
I've never, it's almost comical
I mean it is, it's comical
It's way more comical than Jake
I think this is like when Jewish people go to Israel
Like it's their Mecca
It's their big trip
Or it's like I have to see Jake
The crickets travel around the world to meet Jake
Yes, it's like their lifetime religious experience
You're a cricket, you've got to go ahead and hear Jake
Try to tell a joke so you can let out your cricket sounds
Exactly
Damn, I feel like a cricket in my house now
All night.
He's waiting for you to tell a joke.
You think that's just one, Jake?
Well, it's just one inside my house.
There are numerous outside, and it's pissing me off
because I keep two spider bouncers at my front door,
and it got past those.
Oh, so you keep, there's a couple big spiders outside your place?
There's two spiders.
There's a spider that builds a web across my door every night,
and there's a spider in a succulent by my door.
I'm trying to shut you in like a coffin.
You should listen to nature, dude.
I don't think they want any parties.
So the cricket now.
I think nature's trying to take over your space.
Dude, it sucks.
What's the plan at this point?
I think you have to move, right?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I can't get in the crack where he's hiding.
I stuck a knife in there, tried to stab him, and then he just shuts up for 30 seconds and starts up again.
I wish we had footage.
Is this your weekend?
Of Jake versus the cricket.
I just wish, because you're never going to beat it.
It's like tearing up the floorboards.
Damn you!
And then he finally gets to one.
There's like four others where that one came from.
Yeah, they could be breeding.
I mean, I don't think there's any audio you've ever brought us
that has not had crickets in the background.
And then, yes, I know the thing that your comedy show,
there was a listener or someone there that you were,
even though you accused me many times of playing the sound effect,
you realize this is just going to make this happen again.
Like, now that you are the kick it king,
kick it king, cricket, that's a tough one to say.
You know what you are.
Yes, thank you.
It's hard to say.
I don't think you're the kick it king either.
No, but the reality is, Jake, this is your life now.
I mean, there's no escaping them.
It's terrible.
You must be giving off some sort of a pheromone.
You sound like you haven't gotten much sleep.
No, I'm exhausted.
All because of this?
He's just up all night.
Yes, man.
I took a nap, and I woke up at 9, and this thing was going.
I could hear it over my AC.
It sucks.
Some people actually pay to have sound machines that make this noise because they think it's so.
It would be different if it was like a chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp.
It's not like that.
It's just rapid fire like that constantly.
It is very fast.
It seems like a cricket on crack.
No stops.
But it's probably so excited that he's around Jake.
Well, Jake.
They're Jesus.
Jake, congratulations.
You are at least beloved.
I know that it's very important for you to be loved.
And we'll find out later if you're getting any hits on your new updated dating profile.
I want you to try some of your comedy routine in the Jake shack and see if the crickets are louder, quieter.
Cricket applause?
Yeah.
Do us a favor.
For tonight, when you're there sitting around, do some of your work on your material.
Let's see if it brings out more of the crickets.
Or if it leaves.
I'm hoping it's so bad it goes away.
Yeah, maybe that cricket.
I can see that cricket leaving.
I'm just saying, someone put a shoe on me and end it.
Do that Mary Jane joke, appearance of my boner.
All your old stuff.
Do the classics.
Yeah.
Your greatest hits for the crickets, Jake.
It's a good idea.
Lots to give you this morning, just for starting your week with us here at KROQ.
And that includes a brand-new festival that is coming to Santa Monica.
This is not a bad way to kick things off with the Killers, Jack White, Sublime, and more.
It's called Ocean Way Festival, and we will get you in starting at 9 a.m.
and every hour thereafter all day long.
So you'll be at the first-ever Ocean Way Festival.
You think back now to those people that brag about,
oh, I was at the first-ever Coachella.
I was there year one.
They hadn't even figured it out yet.
Or the Vans Warped Tour people.
That's right.
Now they get to experience that glory all over again because that's back.
So we will get you into this one just announced happening in Santa Monica
up on September 26th, and we got
your tickets coming up later this morning. And if you
want to go ride the rides, we are moments away
from getting you to be one of the first
human beings on planet Earth to ride
the new Fast and Furious
ride. I've been watching them test this thing for, it feels
like, forever. I know.
It looks, I mean, fast.
Looks awesome. Looks very fast.
It looks awesome. But the way
Are you going to ride it? I know you're a little scared.
Well, I don't want to wait in line.
I feel like the lines are going to be super long
for a while. If you could skip the line.
If there was an ability to skip the line, yeah.
I mean, I said, to me, the fun of a roller coaster would be one of the first people on to test it
because when you're in the testing phases, that's when it's exciting
because you don't know if maybe they go, oopsies, this was one inch too short.
I don't think that'll happen here.
They've been testing this forever.
But I've been watching this thing.
That probably wouldn't happen for you.
No, no.
Plenty of room for this guy.
But I would definitely want to go on it early
because then you get to be one of the first people to ride it.
And I'm telling you, I've seen this thing now with no one on it,
and then I've seen it with whatever, like, weighted dummies they've had on it.
Oh, I wish I could be a weighted dummy.
Oh, and it looks really cool.
They've been building this.
We've been watching this thing.
I remember when they first broke ground, and they were like, rumor has it,
this will be a Fast and Furious roller coaster.
I wonder if we...
And I was like, no one's going to care about the franchise by the time they finish this thing.
And more people care than ever before.
Yeah, than ever before.
If we had an opportunity to go together, even though I'm technically not supposed to ride roller coasters,
I'd do it.
I'd risk it for you.
You would go on it?
Can you go on...
You can't go on any roller coasters while pregnant?
No, I think it scrambles everything.
I think it scrambles the baby's brain or something.
I can't remember.
But that's like, is that a sign that people take seriously or one of the signs like they
don't go in the hot tub if you have diarrhea sign?
No, I think that people do.
They do?
Yeah, I do wonder what rules people have broken in pregnancy because I feel like it totally
depends who you talk to.
Oh, I ate sushi the whole time.
What are you talking about?
Oh, no, I smoked cigarettes.
No, I went on roller coasters.
Hot tub?
Love them.
Sauna?
No problem.
Old people love that, like, you know, our parents and parents' parents.
We all turned out fine.
Yeah, they love that whole, like, whiskey every day, cigarettes.
I didn't even cook eggs.
We just ate them raw.
I know, and now it's like, there's a slight risk of listeria,
so just avoid deli meats at all costs for the entire pregnancy.
Well, pregnant or not, we will let you ride the Fast and Furious ride
before pretty much anyone else, and we will get you into Universal Studios.
That will be coming up just after 8 o'clock,
so be ready to call in and claim those tickets.
Fat and Furious Alley, they're calling it, from 310.
Thank you for that.
Quick break.
We're back in a moment with the actual news to get into.
and then I'll share with you all the things that took place
as I completed one of my funner summer challenges
by pulling an all-nighter in Vegas,
and I took full advantage of everything that was on my resort fee
by forcing myself to do all of the things,
which means lots of phone calls to Alaska and Hawaii.
Alaska?
A lot of calls.
Way too many calls.
I'll come back with that in much more detail.
Tune into Universal Studios in moments.
Right now, though, let's get into your news.
Grab your Adderall.
It's time for ADD News.
The World Cup is over.
Spain scored in the second half of overtime, or extra time as they call it.
Spain also won the Women's World Cup,
so they are the first country to hold both the titles for the women and men's teams simultaneously.
That being said, the game itself felt insufferably long and boring,
and they tried to make it a little more entertaining with FIFA's first halftime show.
But if you saw it, I get what they're trying to do.
It's obviously cool to see a lot of performances from Grammy-winning artists,
but it was way too much too soon for a first halftime show.
It's kind of like when a kid picks out their own outfit.
There's just way too much going on at once, and nothing goes together.
A crown.
And you're like, none of this goes.
But they're trying to appeal to the world.
So how do we appeal to the world?
Let's give Justin Bieber a guitar and then shake some ass.
We couldn't pick just one.
We had to go with everybody.
You had Madonna.
You had an orchestra.
Then you had the Muppets.
K-pop.
Then you had Ted Lasso skits.
Then you had Justin Bieber show up, totally brought the energy down with the guitar thing.
Then Shakira was the only part of it that made any sense to me.
I was like, this feels good.
This feels like a halftime show vibe that we're looking for.
Then it went back to weird again with a kid's choir.
And everybody went on to the field at the end, and they sang with the kids about love.
And it just kind of felt like everything was trying too hard.
I feel like they should have just picked one artist, kept it at 15 minutes, 20 max, and moved on.
Like, just Shakira would have been great.
Perfect.
And also, soccer fans were upset because it was twice as long as the halftime is supposed to be.
It's supposed to just be 15 minutes because the pace of play is so important.
And if everyone's just sitting around for 30 minutes, no one really expects that or wants that.
So it kind of just delayed everything, especially because it went into extra time.
It was like a three-hour thing.
They should have had all of those different artists attempt to shoot goals,
and whichever one of them scored the goal got to perform.
Oh, man.
So you're doing a penalty kick into Madonna's face.
And then you go right into it.
That would be amazing.
Probably would have made it better.
I was in Vegas at a sports book,
and not one person gave any Fs when that halftime show came.
The amount of focus that was on the game,
obviously a lot of people had money on the game,
but the amount of focus that was on the game while the game was being played was crazy,
even though it was a long snooze fest.
It was?
Yeah.
I can't believe that.
Because there's such a snoozer.
I know, because I think people had all sorts of different bets for different things.
So, I mean, I think some people are betting 0-0.
They wanted no goal.
So, for them, it was exciting.
But during that halftime, you know, it was on all the TVs.
No one cared at all.
Like, no one was watching, gathered around.
Like, you would think, like, a Super Bowl halftime show where everyone cared about it.
Yeah, I know.
I kind of turned it up, and I was like, oh, I want to watch this.
And then it just moved so quickly to the next thing.
And I was like, this is on crack.
Like, this is too much.
It was just like paint splattered on a wall.
It was like Chris Martin, because he helped curate it.
It was like he went through his contacts and they put some offers out and then everyone said yes.
And I was like, oh, damn.
I sent the ass text out.
I guess we'll just take everybody.
As one heat wave ends, another begins.
They say that this next one will be, quote, long and dangerous.
Exciting.
During this last heat wave, we thankfully got no baby in a hot car stories.
But I will share an old lady in a hot car story.
Oh, no.
This actually ended okay.
The grandma's fine, but she was trapped in a hot car by her grandmother.
The car's never going to get that smell out, though.
That's the problem.
Old lady smell?
I feel like, and this is a Tesla.
Those things trap in a smell.
It's just not good.
Are you okay?
Huh?
A Kitsap County Sheriff's deputy tries to communicate with a woman locked inside a car in the summer heat.
Need help?
The woman spoke only Spanish, and the deputy didn't, so it was difficult to understand her predicament.
She'd stayed behind inside the vehicle in a parking lot while her granddaughter was conducting business inside.
The granddaughter left the Tesla in what's called pet-safe mode that's designed to run the air conditioner.
It also makes it impossible to open the car doors from the inside, but something went wrong.
The air conditioner didn't work.
The air conditioner wasn't running, and the woman was trapped in the car for more than an hour as it heated up to over 100 degrees inside.
Ma'am, do you have a white Tesla?
Okay, is that your grandmother in there?
They found her eventually.
They had to look in all these different shopping centers.
Soon, the grandmother was let out, finally able to cool down.
And now they're, like, investigating this as, like, potential elder abuse.
Really?
Yeah.
At least she's trying to snuff her grandma, get some of that inheritance.
Like, I'll be right back, Grandma.
I'm going to put it in dog mode.
Conducting some business.
Everything was real shady about that, huh?
You know, I put my car in dog mode one time, and you can even put the name of the pet in there so it, like, flashes on the screen.
I wonder what you do for a grandma.
Well, she survived, so happy ending.
She survived.
She did.
What is the proper way to dress and eat a hot dog?
Apparently, there is a hot dog council that has released a list of rules and etiquette when eating hot dogs this summer.
Let's listen to these news reporters barely get through this story.
As you fire up hot dogs on the grill, there are some etiquette rules you may want to follow according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council.
They say you should not put toppings between the hot dog and the bun.
Instead, you should dress the dog.
What?
They also say you should always eat hot dogs on buns with your hands.
Utensils should not be involved.
and it should take more than five bites to finish a hot dog for a foot long at least seven bites is
acceptable also ketchup on hot dogs is for children yeah i don't know including me deciding
this how many people are on this council like why is there it's a crazy council in the first place
okay but let's go real rogue and just start a fight this morning is it a sandwich oh
I agree with most of what they said
they're very annoying these people
but I agree with most of what they said
I have seen people before throw the toppings on the bun
and then put the dog on top
and it changes, it's not right because the bun starts to soak up the toppings
it's not how it should be
when I get a hot dog I open it up
I kind of fan it out
and I put the toppings kind of in between
like it's on top
it's not underneath the hot dog
you know what you should do Allie, you want the real answer, you split the dog
give the dog a split
What do you mean split?
Split down long ways.
Split down long ways.
Oh, you mean like cut a line down the middle?
And then you create a little canoe for the toppings.
I see.
But do you agree about the ketchup?
Because I kind of agree that the ketchup.
I mean, if you're just doing ketchup, then yes, I think that's a kid's thing.
But if you're doing ketchup mixed with all the other stuff, I think that's okay.
To me, it is the least important of the toppings.
I think that it just enhances the flavor of the other toppings.
It's a skippable, but, I mean, mustard obviously reigns supreme.
But, Vanessa, you're the hot dog queen around here.
I know Vanessa likes to do it Colombian style, which has, I think, mayonnaise and chips on it or something.
Right, Vanessa?
Yeah, it has pink sauce and chips and pineapple sauce.
What is pink sauce?
I worry about that in Colombia.
Pink sauce is ketchup and mayonnaise mixed.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, so she's got a whole different style for it.
But, all right, well, there we have it.
