Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 2- Ally's Hookup, Clickbait and MORE

Episode Date: August 26, 2026

About to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show, but first let's tell you about our good friends at the finest airport that ever was and ever will be. The San Bernardino International Airport. Especially when there's summer travel plans, it can get expensive at these airports. That's why you got to 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. This is the world famous K-Rock. Chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug.

You know what that means. 20th caller right now, 800-520-1067. Chug, chug, chug. We got an endless summer kegger, also known as a clam slam. K-Rock's Klein Alley Show's inaugural clam slam. Slightly stupid, you, us, taking the show to Orange County. Welcome to the California Workplace Violence Prevention Training Force. What is that? What the hell is that about? Sorry, there's a bunch of training due today. There is?

Yeah, a ton of it. Training here for this job? Yes, including heat illness prevention training because of the heat advisories. Did you know that we're supposed to be drinking a full glass of water every 10 minutes? How can we? Omar's taking all the water for the building. Every 10 minutes? Every 10 minutes.

Hold on. That seems a little extreme. They sent out special training for us because of the heat that's happening. We need to be drinking 32 ounces of water per hour, and it will be provided in our workplace because hydration is key to preventing a heat illness. So this is them trying to cover their ass so we don't have to pass out and sue them for heat stroke or something? Yes. Is that why they want to say they covered their bases here with this training?

They also ensured us that our managers are all trained in encouraging more breaks throughout our workday and that we need to be taking a break every hour for at least 10 minutes. so that we can be alleviated from the heat. Let's call our boss right now and see how trained he is. We are due an increased break frequency for temperatures above 90 degrees. Mandatory breaks will be scheduled depending on heat levels. Do you think he's aware of this at all? I don't think he's aware of any of this whatsoever.

He may not even be aware that we're doing a live show today. Our workplace culture emphasizes employee empowerment for unscheduled rest due to heat stress. Our boss, by the way, told us last time we called him to never call him again live on the air. Do you think he's taking the day because of the heat? Probably. Probably the week. I'm surprised you opened up that email. I see those and I just hit delete.

Yeah, Ali's such a nerd. They're trained to proactively monitor us and remind us about heat safety with rest, water, and shade. This guy must be outside filling cups of water with the hose. That's why he can't take the call right now. I knew he was going to dodge us. Sorry, I can't take the call right now. Are you? Leave your name, number, and the time of day you're calling, and I will call you right back.

No, you won't. And the time of day? He's never. Why do we need to tell him the time of day? As a tone, please record your message. When you finish recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options. Who wants to know how late we are? It's 8.07 a.m.

Yes, we're running behind. We're live on the air now. We hit the legal. Apparently, you're supposed to be taking our hydration a little bit more seriously. We've never had conversations about our hydration, and a whole email came out to the company saying that we're supposed to take a... Mandatory break, 10 minutes every hour when it's over 90 degrees out. So, I don't know what you want to do about that, but it's something that's never come up in any of the meetings we've had. Apparently, our managers are supposed to emphasize employee empowerment for unscheduled rest.

So, I don't know how you want to handle this, but this is now coming up from your higher-ups, even. This is real deal. So, we're going to probably need some more longer songs scheduled into the show so we can go outside and drink water. And drinking a cup of water, 8 ounces every 10 minutes, just like you said. All right, thank you. That's a good boss right there. Hey, Brad from Orange, you're on KROG. Good morning, Brad.

What's up? Hey, guys. How are you guys doing? Doing fine. What can we do for you? I'm trying to get into the endless summer keg. You're in. You're the 20th caller.

We will see you on September 3rd. Congratulations. Can't wait to party with you, all right? All right, guys. Thank you so much. KROG, we are a Klein Alley show. Well, that's an interesting suggestion from the text line that we should do a show where we drink one glass of water every ten minutes for the entire show. And then someone wins a wee.

So I don't think. Yeah, that's in one of the training videos I have to watch. That competition. I don't think we're allowed to drink that much water. I think they, ever since they had to pay on that lawsuit, I think we can't drink water anymore like that. But apparently they've all forgotten. We're Klein Alley Show. This is Kay Rock.

This is a quick bait in a moment. Quickly on the text line. Someone wants to know, 562. Will I have any more chances to win entry into the Endless Summer Kegger, or should I just give up? No, don't give up. You should probably give up. No. Chances every hour, including another chance this hour, and if we put you into our petty claims court,

if you've got something you're dealing with in your relationship or in your living situation or workplace situation, and you join us later today, we will instantly give you access to the Endless Summer Kegger if we put your story on the air. And the only way to get involved is to let Vanessa know at 800-520-1067. Right now, though, we solve the Internet's biggest riddles and mysteries. It's time for Clickbait. Here we go. all right there is now a brand new and surprising dirtiest place in your office so get ready for this it's always changing once again they like to say how dirty this is so much dirtier than

the toilet seat that's always the thing they compare things to the toilet seat and i don't know what it's like in the ladies room but in the guys room here the toilet seats are absolutely disgusting in the women's room they are pristine and beautiful well i don't know who's got what's going on here, but we need to have some sort of an undercover investigation as to what is going on there. They put so much carpeting in the bathroom to accommodate whoever... All the pee splashback? They put

floor mats under each urinal, which is disgusting. Like car floor mats, basically, under the urinals. And then that was not enough, so now they have put a giant piece of carpeting, like there's a red carpet premiere happening by the door when you first walk in. And their plan for this is just keep putting more carpets down,

which is a terrible plan. It is the grossest room... I mean, I get it. Well, carpet makes everything smell more. So much worse. I don't know why a hardwood floor wouldn't be the best thing. Like, why did they put them in there in the first place? You just need bleach, bleach, bleach. Just constantly more bleach.

Get a Zamboni of bleach in there every 20 minutes or something. But whatever they're doing, they just decided, let's just solve the problem by adding more carpeting. Well, it's a radio station, so the men's bathroom is like Grand Central Station, and the girls' bathroom has three people circulating it. Regardless, it's a terrible situation. But they claim that this new grossest place in your workplace, which is universally the grossest place in all workplaces. Grosser than urinal carpet? Is much grosser than anything you would even find in the bathroom.

So what is it? You know, I'm just going to go with the standard coffee maker because that's the thing that everyone's accessing the most. We have a direct view of the break room here in the K-Rock kitchen. And I see people go in there multiple times a day. No one's washing their hands. I imagine I've never seen it cleaned in my life. So I would imagine that's the dirtiest thing. Allie says the coffee maker is probably the grossest slash dirtiest thing where you work.

323 is guessing Allie's chair. Oh, how are you doing today, girl? That's a good, that's a great guess. Probably the right answer. Omar, what do you think it is? Yeah. It's that disgusting water dispenser that's just outside the studio where everybody refills their water bottle. Yeah, have to drink one glass.

Everybody getting their grody. Every ten minutes. Gotta drink a glass every ten minutes. It's a lot of germs. Everybody getting their grody germs all over. Yep. All right, Omar says the water thing. I do see a lot of people there.

And also, it feels like a lot of those people that have the reusable bottles, they're always touching the nozzle with their little spout thing that they put their mouth on all day. Yeah, sometimes. Well, sometimes it's not tall enough because the Stanleys are just getting bigger and bigger. Jay, gross knows gross. What do you say?

Well, for a time in the fridge, there was something growing in some kind of carton or whatever, and just no one did anything about it. I think it's gone now, but I want to guess the fridge. Because you ate it? I was hungry one day. I had a moment of weakness. And it was good.

I've stopped getting those emails about the fridge cleanings. I assume the person that did the fridge cleanings was let go or something. I think they were, yeah. I think they were part of the container debacle. Oh, is that what happened? They were the one that was so mad about the dishes in the sink. Apparently the dirtiest place where you work right now, it's not Ali's seat. It's not the urinal carpets.

It's not even the things that Jake, Omar, or Allie guessed. But Jake was the closest because they are saying that the handle of the company refrigerator is the grossest and the thing that gets cleaned the least, if at all. And that is gross for multiple reasons, primarily because we're all touching with our gross hands. But also when you get all that food buildup stuff, some of those spores, whatever else. Because people are handling food and then touching it. Like the coffee is a little more sanitary because it's just a beverage. I hate these clickbaits because these ones, just when you think it's going to be someplace you can avoid, it's always the handle of something. It's always just proof that we as humans are gross because we touch things, and when we touch things, they get grosser.

That's why you don't really go into the break room. You don't like being in there. I try to avoid that place. That is just a giant, it's like a Comic-Con of gross in there. Jay's right there reorganizing. Right, but even that. Hey, Jay. We could take a quick break.

He's thumbing things around. It's clean. There's a lot of skin contact in that room. It's really gross. And in our break room specifically, there's a lot of open food that's just out for hours. Hours. Creating foodborne illnesses, I'm sure. When we get back from this quick break, what do we have in store for you?

Good question. We need to meet a celebrity. And we assume that someone in Los Angeles listening to this show knows someone who knows someone that can connect us to a celebrity at any level. I don't care if we start at the Z list. What's the biggest one we can find? What's the biggest one we can find with your connections? because Allie has a hall pass that she's allowed to use this week only. It involves her having legitimate intercourse with a celebrity.

Anyone from the A-list down to the C-list, I have gotten permission to bone. But I need somebody in that category. If you help connect us to a celebrity, even if they don't... Like a Pauly Shore? Like an Andy Dick? She would take any of them. I don't want Andy Dick. But here's the thing. That's definitely on the B-C...

That's a C-list, at least. Do you think Andy Dick is a C-list celebrity? Sure. Used to probably be higher. Everyone knows the name. He's definitely been higher. Definitely higher. So if you have a connection, even if you're the one who's like, I know a person who knows a person who knows a person.

Let's start there. Any connection you have to anyone famous. I prefer a lady. Even if you ran into a celebrity at a grocery store recently. That would help us as well. At least that's more of a connection than we already have. Because we're trying to go ahead and set Allie up for her hall pass, celebrity hall pass. But we need your help.

And if you can make it happen for us, we will get you into the endless Summer Kegger. And that's after this at 800-520-1090. KROQ, we are a Klein Alley Show. Now let's know a celebrity Alley can't have sex with. That's bad news. Another celebrity. Tim Curry, dead. Another celebrity death.

They come in threes, don't they? Ain't that always how it is? So who was the, so what, we had Hayden Pinatieri. Oh yeah, Hayden, Dolly, Tim Curry. And now Tim Curry. That's such a bummer. Never good to be the least famous of the three, but. The best from Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Congo? Did you ever see the movie Congo? Yeah, I know who you're talking about. Is he the clown from It? You know what? Yes. Yes. Damn, they take all the good white people, man.

They're taking all the wrong whites. Who would be the right whites, out of curiosity, Johnny? Which whites? Come on, we didn't want Hayden Panettiere to die. We didn't want Dolly Parton to die. Or who do you want to die? There's plenty of bad white people out there. Name them, Johnny.

All the terrible ones, you know. There's a lot of people on the phone right now that claim they have access to living celebrities. And apparently, this is an interesting theory, ever since Ali started talking about having a one-night stand with a celebrity, they keep dying. Maybe there's a coincidence. Someone is convinced that Ali somehow mushed Dolly Parton and made some comment even yesterday on the show when she was still alive. No, I haven't talked about Dolly Parton on the show ever. I don't think that's probably true. I'm sure at some point you mentioned her because when she came out in that Dallas Cowboys cheerleader uniform during, you know, whatever, the halftime of one of the Netflix games.

It was a Thanksgiving game or something. Thanksgiving game, yeah. I'm sure you made some comment like, she'll be around forever or something. I didn't say anything like that. But there are a lot of people that would like to connect you with a celebrity so that you can have your one-night-stand hall pass, which has to happen. Hurry up. Connect me. They're dropping like flies.

Thursday or Friday. These celebrities would rather die than have the outside chance of sleeping with Allie. I mean, that's really bad. Hey, I just want to warn you before I start putting these calls on, and there's some good ones here. I want to warn you, Allie, that you said you could sleep with anyone on the A, B, C, or D list because you're looking at one of them. Hi, this message is for clients. I just want to say, like, I think you might be, like, D list, like, marginally famous now. because, like, first, Jamie wore your jacket on SNL,

and it got to literally rub elbows with Ryan Gosling. That puts me on the D-list. The jacket that I gave the guy from the Gorillaz made it to Saturday Night Live, and then he rubbed elbows with Ryan Gosling. Would your wife support you having sex with me? I don't think she would be... I think she would say if you wanted to.

I think she would make that face. She'd be like, why would you want that? Would you want to? And then now I see on your, like, repost, like, Michael Costa from Daily Show, I think, actually commented on your post. That's right. So I feel like, yeah, you maybe, are you, like, Bayless famous now? Bayless famous. You're, like, maybe micro-celebrity?

Congrats, bro. Sweet dreams. Bye-bye. So, Allie, you could sleep with me, technically. Still probably the, not even in the top ten Kevin Clines that come up when you Google. Oh, no. No, I'm like the fifth most famous Kevin Kline. Hey, Katie, before we get to these suggestions on the phone, I just want to confirm, this is Allie's wife.

You are standing by the fact that you are still giving your wife a legitimate hall pass if it is with a celebrity, and it happens this weekend. This doesn't sound very realistic whatsoever. Which part? The sleeping with me part? I mean, like, yeah, who are you going to find to do this? We have people on the phone now.

Every line is full with someone that's got a connection to someone. I'm just letting you know. I know you don't have a lot of confidence, but a lot of people say that to their significant other. Sure, you want to go have sex with Mario Lopez? Have at it, because they don't think they could. Right. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of my attitude about it. So you think it's just so ridiculous that you can just say yes, because it'll never happen?

Yeah, I think so. Clearly, you don't believe in the power of radio. None of us do. Wait, Katie, if Allie does lock down a celebrity and you said they have to be on the A, B, C, or D list, is that right? I mean, what is a D list celebrity? Hello, hi. Angeline. Oh, no.

Angeline is bigger than D list. I think she looks like 10 minutes from us. Yeah. Don't knock on her door. I think her car's parked outside right now. She's hopping that. I would say A, B, C, not D. Yeah, we talked about A, B, C.

Hey, those people that she saw on the airplane, Alison Brie, she could have had sex with, that would have been acceptable for you? She's hot. And out of curiosity. Katie followed her into the bathroom. Are you okay if she sleeps with a man? I mean, whatever. Like, I don't know. This is so hypothetical and so unrealistic.

Okay, it's not that unrealistic. There are people out there that want to have sex with me. I'm going to leave you on the phone while you... Let me say hi to J.R. J.R., what celebrity do you have connection to? Power Ranger. The Black Ranger. Power Ranger's turtle.

Roger the Left. Okay, hold on. How about that, babe? The Black Power Ranger. Ali could have the Black Power Ranger. Oh, yeah. That's nice. J.R., you know...

She's humoring us. You know the... Oh, I'm nervous. This is the Black Power Ranger from the original TV show, or you said the most recent movie? No, from the TV show. Original. Power Rangers Turbo. Right.

And you have his, how do you know Roger? I have a direct phone number. Why? Are you friends, or you just have? So I took my Lyft driver, and I picked him up, and we connected, and he gave me his number, so we came out and had a drink. And you recognized him in the back of your Lyft as, wait a minute, are you the Black Power Ranger? I did, because he was going to a Power Ranger con.

Oh. Was he wearing his costume? All right, hold on. Hold on. You need to take a lift. Hold on. Hold on. Don't hang up.

I love that he would then text the guy and be like, hey, I have a radio person who wants to have sex with you. I like where we're starting. This is just where we're starting. We're already at a Black Power Ranger. It's so ridiculous. Like, can you imagine someone getting a call being like, hey, for this radio show, this person wants to have sex with you. Like, this is low-key prostitution.

First of all, it's not prostitution, and it's not for the radio show. It's not for the radio show at all. It's for fun or summer. Ali is doing this on a quest for all of us to have more fun. Okay. Yep. Mm-hmm. You sound like you're not interested.

714 said you have several celebrity contacts in your phone calling. and call up Nikki Glaser or Whitney Cummings. I mean, I could. I don't think they would sleep with you. Excuse me. I think I could sleep with one of them. Maybe. Hold on.

Hey, Rick, who do you know? I'm really drunk. Rick, hi. Who's your celebrity connection? I ran into A-lister Patton Oswalt. Where'd you run into him? Shopping off Magnolia in Burbank. It's a wrap.

she was at a vinyl record store and do you have any uh contact to pat noswald or you just ran into him i just ran into him okay there we go all right add him to the list that'll be tough biggest threat yet also ali's got a theory about him so i don't want to say i think like i mean i honestly i don't know why i'm about to say this but like if this is something that could happen i feel like you need to like go out on a date with this person it's a one-night stand yeah okay but i mean this is just me like this is what i would do i guess you know like i'm all about i know katie wants it to be all intimate and mean something to connect and vibe it's funny you would say that i would think you'd want this to be as uh emotionless as possible like like a strictly a

like just uh you know a couple hours of pleasure and then that's it not that they sat down and had a real conversation about cats or something uh no i mean i expect that this person would like then be someone we know right like this is yeah i don't know i'm not thinking about it as just like a one and done well we have a lady celebrity who's calling in on behalf of herself hello you are famous yes i am the celebrity um i'm an award-winning mattress actress with an imdb page with uh over a dozen credits and by mattress actress explain exactly what you mean like You're in those cool commercials? Like every Labor Day sale, it's all about you?

More testing it out. I think Adult Film Star. Oh, here we go. Got it. You're a man. I'm on the mattress. I didn't realize that that's a name for adult film stars or mattress actresses. Cool.

And you've been in projects before? Yeah. I have over a dozen DVDs listed to my credit, but I've done way more than that. And as a special treat to Allie I am a transbian So I'm post-op So I'm willing to do the clam jam for the clam slam Hold on

Let me get this straight You're a post-op transbian? Yeah So did you do videos before your operation And after? Yeah, a little bit before and after Wow, that's fascinating I don't know if I would put her up there

With the Black Power Ranger her level of fame, but... I don't know. That's pretty exciting. She did do some Mighty Morphin. I know, babe. What about throwing this person in the mix? Yeah, whatever you want. Also, really quick, do you know

who the keys to the car are? Oh, my God. The keys to the car. They're in my fanny pack. Oh, Jesus. This is the gayest conversation ever. Do whatever you want. Even the trans being said, this conversation's getting too gay for her. The keys to the Subaru are in my fanny pack. She's going to go ahead and convert back.

all right hold on uh katie i just want to i just want to make sure we're not going to do any home wrecking here you are on board with this if it is a real deal celeb i mean a real deal um offer yeah like go like hook up with someone cool we'll see what happens i'll probably be extremely jealous and hurt um but like you know anyway but it'll be fine you won't leave me is what you're saying no i won't leave you do you remember that one time where well it's too long of a story no no you told you basically said if you cheat on me i'll stay with you yeah i was like i've earned enough points as a wife to say hey if i cheat i'm still good yeah i mean it'll hurt my feelings yeah we'll get over that part that's what therapy is for okay well ali you've had some power ranger

Transpian? You've had some tempting offers. Come one, come all. I'm going to give you the best offer yet. And I think that even Omar is going to have his mind blown in a moment. And that's very rare because, you know, he's jaded. He doesn't care about celebrities. Charles, who do you know?

It's me. I was a stunt double for Dewey in Malcolm in the Middle. Listen to this. For Dewey? This guy was the stunt double for Dewey in Malcolm in the Middle. Got it. Oh, whoa. How many

Let me ask you a serious question How many stunts did Dewey do In Malcolm in the Middle Well like when things would get spilled on him And stuff like that He couldn't get spilled on himself He said I'm out I need a dub stump So they go we gotta spill some juice on this Dewey kid

to bring in the stunt double, and that was you? Yeah, basically, yeah. Okay, all right. Allie, what do you think of this now? This guy's calling, and you would have sex with Allie? Hell yeah. Oh, that's amazing. Well, when his fluids get spilled on me,

who's going to take my place? No one. That's you. This is the... I don't think we're going to get much better than this. This is... Understand... 323 wanted to know if Brad Williams was considered C-list.

Brad Williams would... He is famous enough. I don't know if his wife would be okay with him sleeping with you? I feel like I could probably sleep with his wife. Yeah, you probably could, but then we're no longer. Once again, I know you're still on the phone. I'm sorry we're talking past you.

Sorry, Dewey. Sorry, stunt double Dewey. Have you had any other credits to your name, or is that the only one? Yeah, I think so. That's it? You just did the one? I don't think, like, if he goes out

trying to get another stunt work job, and he's like, I did stunt work for... Anyone else need to be spilled on? That's his only skill? All right, hold on. That's an interesting offer. David, you know famous people as well. Allie, once again, it's a celebrity hall pass, one-night stand.

We just got verbal confirmation from our wife. It has to happen this weekend. Who do you know? All right, so I got an A-lister, a C-lister, and then maybe some hopefully still alive A-listers. So I got my girlfriend's aunt's boyfriend is the guitarist for Sublime. my girlfriend's mom knows Chris

the lead guitarist from Foo Fighters my girlfriend's mom also was on the tour bus with Grateful Dead and she knows probably more guitarists and musicians and all that kind of stuff your girlfriend's mom sounds like a real slug

she's been on a lot of tour buses she knows in a biblical sense a lot of guitarists oh yeah All right, hold on. That's David. He's got access. Access, he claims, to famous guitarists. 310 wants to know if the lie detector guy is considered a C-list celebrity.

Man, that would make his dreams come true. Mine, too. I think he's famous enough. He's been in some things. 213 said they have Kristen Bell's number. That would be great. All right, 213. See if you can get Kristen Bell.

I'm being serious. We don't need to actually, Ali doesn't have to have sex with a celebrity for you to earn the tickets. They said they can't call in right now, but they went to college with her. We need to have contacts. We just need to have the contact.

Even if the celebrity calls to reject Ali. I love that this person who went to college with her would just pass along her numbers. I think that's great. I think that's a good listener. That's a good fan of the show. We have to take this break now because we're up on the clock

and Vanessa's yelling in my ear. But we will come back once again. We need, if it's going to be right now, The front runner, I think, is Black Power Ranger, and the stunt double for Dewey. Agreed. Both men. Yeah. Also, let's not forget about that thespian, the...

Transpian. The Transpian, it called. I'm down for that, too. Mattress actress. She's a mattress actress, so we do have options. I don't know if we've officially hit the C or D list yet. I think we're still a little below that list, but I like... We can work our way up.

We got to start somewhere. I like where we're going. So if it takes you some time throughout the show today to track someone down or call Kristen Bell and get her to call us, that's fine. We're here live until 11 o'clock, so we can make it happen. We've got to take a quick break, though. We're back with your news, and then we're going to get into your Weezer tickets, and that's coming up in about 15 minutes right here, K-Rock.

You need to practice calling us, 800-520-1067 is the number. You'll need that coming up the second we're done with the ADD news. If you'd like to go see some Weezer here at Crypto.com, and then again, hopefully in Boston. That's a sold-out show already, but we will get you in. If your name is pulled off of the standby boarding list, it's all part of K-Rock's Road Trip USA. Destination number eight, Boston with Weezer.

And we're looking for your name to add to our list coming up in about five minutes or the second we're done with this. It's Klein Alley Show 6.7 KROQFM in HD Pasadena, Los Angeles, Orange County. The Sonic Pulse of Los Angeles. This is the world famous K-Rock. That is the wrong intro. Got that out of the way. Let's go ahead and go ahead and give you the intro you were waiting for, which I believe is the Alley Knows ADD News. That's what we're going to do.

I know the ADD news. Allie knows the ADD news. Because I have it right in front of me. What the hell happened here? Glitch in the system, guys. The matrix. Here we go. Oh, the system?

Not you? Could be user error. I'm not exactly sure. Here's your news now. And then we'll get into that brand new hour of the show. That was just a practice. The next time you hear that, you've got to call us. This was practice?

That was practice. Are we live on the air still or not? Yeah. Oh, we are. Oopsies. Here's your news. Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD news.

Okay, so this is news that just broke in the last 10 minutes. Tim Curry has died, also at the age of 80, same age as Dolly Parton. He was Dr. Frankenfurter in Rocky Horror Picture Show, one of the best movies ever made. He was It, the clown. He was in Home Alone 2. He was the concierge. He was Rooster in Annie. He was in Muppet Treasure Island, Clue, Adam's Family Reunion, Scary Movie 2.

So, yeah, he was the sequel guy. For any of you cartoon watchers, he was Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberries. But this was, of course, as growing up as a musical theater kid, was one of my most heavily played songs when we were driving in the car. I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania. So, yeah, I mean, of course, he was bigger amongst the musical theater community, but for anybody who saw any of the cult classics, like, you know, a lot of the movies he was in were kind of flops at the start, and then they developed this cult following, like Clue and Rocky Horror and many, many others. Now, between this guy and Dolly Parton, just a bad 24 hours for the games, huh?

I know, it's so tough for us today. It's really, really rough. um about 14 years ago in 2012 he had had a stroke and he was in a wheelchair he talked about when he had the stroke he was getting a massage this was him talking about that i was having a massage at the time and i didn't even actually notice anything but the guy who was doing the massage said i'm worried about you i think i want to call an ambulance and he did and i said that's so silly and they put me in an ambulance. A very nice paramedic said, I'm going to give you morphine.

And I said, bring it on. Sounds like some massage. I know, right? And he was like, I'm worried about you. And he was like, yeah, we can skip this part. Just go right to the happy ending. That guy had those crazy bug eyes. He was a bug eye guy.

And one of those good character actors. You saw him in a lot of stuff. But not good when you're famous, You're famous, but you're not necessarily Dolly Parton famous. Your death gets overshadowed so quickly. No, but he was such a great performer just all around. So it is sad to see that he's dead, especially now after the news of Dolly Parton. And yes, Dolly Parton obviously is the big story of the morning.

She contributed to music. She contributed to the movie industry, to the baking aisle at the grocery store with her branded cake mixes and delicious frostings. But she also contributed to charity. She donated millions of dollars throughout her life to the fires in Tennessee. She used the royalties from Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, the cover, and used it to invest in a predominantly black neighborhood in Tennessee. She also donated a million dollars to help develop the COVID vaccine. She started a foundation donating books because her dad couldn't read or write. She also supported the LGBT community or the gay plus community, as Pantyhose Greg would call it.

And part of why she was loved by so many groups is because she loved them. And, yeah, she was a Christian and country person that also was inclusive and open-minded, which is why so many people who don't agree on crap can come together and celebrate Dolly Parton. But I wanted to share one of the biggest pieces of advice that she gave to the youth of America. And this was many years ago, but I think it's still relevant today. If you could tell teenagers of America today one thing, whether it be advice or something of support, what would it be? I would say, act like it's raining every day and wear your rubbers. See? Well, she's talking about condoms, I think, right?

You're picking up what she's putting down. Terrible advice. Ollie's mom gave the opposite advice to Ollie. She said, stop wearing them. I think it's interesting that these two people have died, and with Dolly, you're focused on the boobs, and with Tim, you're focused on the eyeballs. Yeah, that's right.

The two big orbs. That's right. That's how I know actors. I just figure out what they're known for. And then finally, Meta, not universally loved. They're also no stranger to lawsuits. But as of this morning, their biggest lawsuit, the one that is among 47 different states, has reached a settlement. This was they were suing for trillions of dollars. It would have wiped them out completely if they had won. But now they've agreed to an 18 billion dollar settlement.

So I believe California is going to get like one point two billion of that. But they've also agreed to make, quote, massive transformations that will reduce the risk of harm from its platforms and they will do it within months. So it'll be interesting to see how Instagram and Facebook change over the coming months because the whole lawsuit was about how it's designed to be addictive, specifically to teenagers and kids, and they knew it when they developed it. Well, if you have any product, don't you want whatever that product is to be something that is consumed by people and then they want more of it and more of it? I mean, Dunkaroos are addicting. I was addicted to Dunkaroos for a stretch of my life, but they're not suing the Dunkaroos company. Matt was addictive and the people who made it knew it. Right.

I think the big problem with them is that they knew that this would harm minors, and they were like, let's go ahead with it. Addicting adults is, everyone knows that that's fine. When it's a kid, it's different. That's why, like, Camel had to stop using Joe Camel, because they were like, it's a

cartoon. Kids love cartoons. But you know what? Adults also like to smoke and like cartoons, too. Of course we do. Jake, he's a big fan of anime. No, I'm not. Loves it. God damn it. Call her 20. Right now. 800-520-1067. We send you to Weezer at least once and maybe even twice. It's all part of KROQ's Road Trip USA, and we need to add your name to our list.

You don't want to have your name on a lot of lists. This is a good one, though, and you can still go within 200 yards of a school if you're on this list. Plus, maybe you'll be flying to Boston to see some Rivers Cuomo and Weezer. That is next on KROQ.
