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. This is the world famous KROQ.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Oh yeah, good morning. Welcome to your KROQ. We are Klein Alley Show. Nice to meet you. Thanks for coming back for more. Perhaps you've just discovered the show or you're forced to listen because one of your friends said it's decent and you don't believe him just yet. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Three day challenge. That's all we ask. Three days. Make up your mind. And either we say goodbye forever or perhaps you have found some new people you're stuck with in the mornings. I'm KROQ. I'm Klein.
Starting point is 00:00:54 And there's Allie. Morning. That is DJ Omar Khan, the audio sniper, birthday boy, Jake the Nerd. A lot of people sending well wishes to Jake. He is going to be celebrating his birthday at the DMV in Glendale today, where he'll be forced to go and sit in a chair for four or five hours because he is the worst driver on the show, not actually accomplishing any real business at the DMV, just going there to sit.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Yeah, you don't have anything you have to do there, right, Jake? Nah. You don't have to renew your, um, okay, Tesla? He's not allowed. Or, uh, okay, Lexus plates? He can't do it anyway. That's the deal. Yeah, he can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Nothing can be accomplished there because then it would be a real trip to the DMV. I still want to get a number and just go up and say hi. Yeah, and say it's your birthday. Yeah. Maybe they could sing to you through the loudspeaker system at the DMV. That'd be great. Anyway, all the details are up on our Instagram, Clown Alley Show, so you can go there. Here's some of my messages for Jay.
Starting point is 00:01:45 He's the original audio sniper, the arbiter of audio, the ace. He is an enthusiast of Tool, Magic the Gathering, Purple, Odds and End Collectibles, Records, Concerts, T-Shirts, and let us not forget, a mustard sandwich enthusiast. Let's turn up the radio and everyone join me in wishing Jake a very, very happy birthday. You know, I asked our boss if we could do some Tool Tuesday for Jake's birthday, and the response was very simple. It was just no. Yeah, I don't think anyone would want that. But happy birthday, Jake. Happy birthday to you.
Starting point is 00:02:21 It's a good day for you. This hour on the show, fun or summer fails? You tried to have fun. We said, let's make it a mission to bring fun back. Fun scores are at an all-time low. We said, let's change that around this summer, forcing fun upon each other, and we will hear your stories of fun or summer fails. In a moment, though, we will do some clickbaiting on these parts.
Starting point is 00:02:40 It's KROQ, the Internet's biggest riddles and mysteries solved once and for all, and we'll figure out what is the most stressful day of the year. There's science behind it, and we will get to that next on KROQ. Well, we got clickbait upon us as we solve the internet's biggest riddles, internet design, two reasons, and two reasons only, clickbait, masturbate, can only do one of them on the air, so here we go. Time for clickbait. This is an interesting question, I never really thought about this, but I guess there is a day in the year, every year, where we are at our most stressed out. And I used to think it had something to do with daylight saving, changing up the clocks or something, but apparently I was wrong, and here's a tease. A fitness tracking device company has detected the most stressful day across America over the past year.
Starting point is 00:03:26 According to data by Aura, the folks behind the Aura ring. They have information now, and it was collected by everyone who wears the Aura ring, and they have determined that this is the day that people were the most stressed out. So you could be part of this study. I could be. I guess they are keeping track of all of my information as well. And the question is, what was the most stressful day or is the most stressful day of the year? Is it a holiday? Is it just a random Tuesday like today, perhaps? Right. Or it could be the longest day of the year just because you got the most daylight, you got the most pressure to do stuff. I'm going to say Christmas Eve because that's the day where you're making all the last-minute changes, plans.
Starting point is 00:04:11 You're getting last-minute shopping done. You're racing to get it all done. All the people who are hosting have to finish cooking stuff, prepping stuff. I think that that's probably one of the most stressful days of the year. He's locked in on Christmas Eve as the most stressful day of the year for Americans. DJ Omar Khan, any thoughts? You know, I'm going to go with Thanksgiving because everybody is trying to make turkey taste good and it's impossible. So I think people are stressed out about, you know, putting on a nice dinner.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Also, perhaps you're watching your bets fall apart on those Thanksgiving football games. Oh, I didn't think of that. About the family you hate. Right, family you hate. Having to dump out. Oh, God, I hope I don't clog this toilet. It's an interesting one. I'm looking forward to it.
Starting point is 00:04:56 A lot of stress right there on Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it. I didn't think about that. Jake? It's a challenge. What is the most stressful day of the year, do you think? We're about to find out in a moment. I'm going to guess it's probably whatever day you come back from winter break.
Starting point is 00:05:11 So usually like January 2nd. After you've had like two weeks off or a week off and you have to come back to work. That's a good guess. All right. Well, here's the answer. I hate to inform you guys that you're all very wrong. Say Saturday, May 16th. What?
Starting point is 00:05:24 Saturday, May 16th. What does that have to do with anything? I, for whatever reason, listen to this. This year was the most stressful. More than 184 minutes of stress were recorded. That's, I guess, on a per-person basis. 184 stressful minutes. What happened on May 16th of this past year?
Starting point is 00:05:43 I had nothing. Of course you had nothing. Yeah, we know your calendar had nothing. Your calendar's wide open. It's empty right there. Wide open. The whole day. May 16th, I believe, is Armed Forces Day.
Starting point is 00:05:53 I don't know if that's enough to move the number. Back in 1980, it was the day that Magic Johnson, I believe, debuted as a rookie on the Lakers. Wait, does the most stressful day, does it change from year to year, or is this? They said this past year, the most stressful day was May 16th. So what the heck was happening in the world on May 16th? Okay, it says that across the country there were different things going on. There was a severe weather storm in the Midwest and a massive transit strike on the East Coast. So maybe that had something to do with it?
Starting point is 00:06:24 But just collectively, there were all these stressful events going on just on that one day. But it was a Saturday. And I would think stress levels would be lower on a Saturday in general. So I'm surprised that this would be the day that was considered to be the most stressful day we've had this past year, especially with all the other things going on. There have been plenty of stressful days, storm days, and stuff like that. But if you're keeping track and you're wondering why you were so freaked the F out on May 16th, now you know. You're not alone.
Starting point is 00:06:50 They did go on to say there were other stressful days, and some of them were the ones you guys mentioned. Other stressful days were Independence Day of last year, Christmas Eve, Thanksgiving, and New Year's Eve. June 13th was also another notable day because that was when the NBA Finals Game 5 was held. You made a good point about the bets. A lot of stress being monitored, or just perhaps these O-rings don't do anything and we have no idea. They're just guessing at random. It's just a spike, and they're like, we're going to pick May 16th because our data is all crap. We've got to take a quick break.
Starting point is 00:07:22 We're back in a moment. When we return, you had a goal of having more fun this summer. You set out on a fun whatever it was, jet skiing, go to a lake, go to the beach, and something backfired.

Starting point is 00:08:10 Yesterday, we talked about this was a fun or summer fail. Dylan! Dylan! a jet skier is enjoying a day on a lake he turns around to ride backwards when without warning he blacks out ended up crashing that jet ski into a pier of some sort and he lived that was my fun or summer fail i was trying to just have a good good old-fashioned pool day and launched my child off my knees up into the sky because she wanted to go higher daddy higher and instead she launched her head directly into my nose. Hey, Klein and Allie. Love you guys.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Hey, Klein. Hope your nose isn't too bad. Hope it gets better soon. I've broken my nose, and it's not a good feeling or deal, but we'll get through it. K-Rock! Woo! Thank you for the uplifting message, sir. It is in pain.
Starting point is 00:08:57 It's still in pain, and it feels like it has gotten crooked, but I guess I'm used to that. Did you get it to the doctor? No, he couldn't see me yesterday. He was too busy with more important things, so I'm going to try to go in today and get a proper x-ray. But at some point, you just go, what can you do? Either he's going to take it and snap it back into place
Starting point is 00:09:12 or this is just me again. People say, I'm back to what I used to look like again. So people are thrilled. It actually is kind of comforting for me. It's kind of like the old Klein. I guess all of that ridiculous six months of pig nose was for nothing. I know. Now you've undone everything in one
Starting point is 00:09:29 weekend. Smashed my kid's head into my nose and I'm back to normal. But it was fun or summer fail. And think about it. I think the number one injury every summer is pool injuries a lot of pool people crack their heads open break arms they stub their time i mean it's just even the bad third degree burns people get for falling asleep in the sun it's bad no bad news any fun or summer fails we'll take them now at 800-520-1067 because misery loves company we say good morning to keenan i'm k-rock good morning keenan how's it going sweet divots guys sweet divots tell us about your fun or summer fail
Starting point is 00:10:00 uh so we took the boat to the lake you know and we blow a tire on the way to the lake not really such a big deal right we have a spare uh the fun fail is on the way home we blow the other tire and so we we ended up having to leave the boat on the side of the road drive home it's like 10 p.m you know we had to get tools take it back and then we had to try to find somewhere that could uh fix the tire at 10 p.m luckily luckily we ended up finding a place that was only a few miles away so it ended up working but it took a couple extra hours and everything you're lucky you even got your boat back because i feel like that's a sweet payday right there for one-armed gary who seems to be acquiring all sorts of boats he finds random places right if you unhitch the
Starting point is 00:10:46 boat and leave it there some person with the truck's like and uh just to hitch a hitch and move along just won myself a free boat like going on priceless ride or something that is a that is a fail indeed uh cripple cody you've had a life full of fails what was your fun or summer fail yeah so mine's not super exciting but i booked a bunch of uh non-refundable trips because i'm cheap and didn't want to buy insurance and then uh promptly got fired from my job oh no i feel you because i don't do the insurance either so you had the opportunity to you bought the trip they said for an extra 11 a person you can insure this entire trip you're like not doing it and then you ended up getting fired yep so i gotta go on these trips as a super broke person going to like
Starting point is 00:11:26 hawaii and stuff where everything is crazy expensive yeah dude it's like 12 bucks for a coffee there uh it's insane i know that you lost your job as a water scientist or something like that but uh did you have you had any bites about getting a new job or no uh trying to but it's really slow working in the government field as you can uh imagine yeah sucks too you're going to a place surrounded by water triggering for you it's very triggering for crippled you can't do much of anything all right well that's uh that's definitely a fun or summer fail i'm sorry about that jess fun or summer fail what happened to you hi um i peed on a trampoline cool all right hold on one second i don't know if we said this is necessarily a fail well did you just lose bodily control how
Starting point is 00:12:07 did this happen yeah um so i recently had a baby and um our friends so i have an older child and um he's friends with like the kid who has the cool parents at school right like and um we got invited how are they the cool how are they the cool parents they have a trampoline in their backyard that's a good start i guess yeah but i mean are they like they're always just cool like They're like rockabilly. They're always like, you know, going to concerts and stuff. And, you know, I don't know. They're just cool.
Starting point is 00:12:41 So for you to get an invite over to the cool parent's house was a big deal because you're like, wait a minute. Now I'm getting invited to the cool parent's house, and they think I'm a cool parent too, right? Yeah. I proved I wasn't cool. So all the kids were like on the trampoline, and they were like, oh, you should come, you should come.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And I was like, okay, yeah. I'm fun too. I'm so fun. Yeah. And so, yeah, I'm jumping, jumping, and, like, I didn't even realize that maybe it was the gravity or something, but, like... The gravity. And all the kids are screaming and running off the trampoline. And they're like, oh, my God, you know, so-and-so's mom just peed.
Starting point is 00:13:26 And I was like, oh, no. Like, I just embarrassed my son. And it was awful. It was horrible. And the parents were like, it's okay. It's okay. You just had a baby. And I'm like, no.
Starting point is 00:13:38 And then we left. Yeah, and I understand the parents understand those circumstances, but those boys don't. You're just the mom who peed on the trampoline. It's not a better situation to be in than if you're going to have an accident than being around children because you should have just pushed a kid in it and blamed it on that other kid. It was him, Mason. Damn you, Mason. You peed on the trampoline.
Starting point is 00:13:57 All right. Well, that's, Jess, you're a frontrunner in this one for sure. Fun or summer fail? Trying to have good old-fashioned fun on a trampoline. Didn't realize she would urinate all over the place. 626 said, I made it my mission this summer to have the sluttiest summer ever and sleep as many people as I could. Three weeks in, I started getting a massive itching burning sensation on my balls. Long story short, I've been on an inflatable donut on the couch waiting for my gonorrhea to go away.
Starting point is 00:14:20 That sucks. That is a fun or summer fail for sure. Laura on KROQ. Good morning. Hey, good morning. Sweet dibs. Sweet dibs. Funner summer fails.
Starting point is 00:14:30 What happened? Yeah, so we have a girls group, and we haven't been able to get away for the last three years. So we finally go away. We go to Palm Desert. We've got a house. We're so excited to go out, you know, dancing, karaoke. But for some reason before that, we decide to do a split competition, or we really call it a clam slam competition. A clam slam?
Starting point is 00:14:55 Oh, I've never heard of a clam slam. That's Omar's favorite. Omar, is that not the best competition in the history of competitions? Omar's always a big advocate of the clam slam. Dude, that's our next event. Every time we talk about doing a show event, Omar's been going, we got to do more clam slam. And a summer clam slam. More clam slam.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Well, I thought you guys might like that. So we did our clam slam competition after we did a little wine tasting, right? And we, did I tell you we're almost 50? Like, we tore up our leg muscles and, like, could barely dance. So we went out and just sat there and, like, ruined the whole night because we were all so sore from clam slamming. All right, well, that's a good fail as well, in theory. Like, I don't understand. We were great at this clam slam thing in our 30s.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yeah. Now we're not good at slamming clam anymore. 929 said, I was in a mosh pit this summer, got shoved to the ground, and my hand landed on a broken beer bottle. I severed four nerves and three tendons in my left hand. Listen, I will applaud all of the attempts for you to have a funner summer. I mean, we were on trampolines. We were on boats. we were doing clam slams
Starting point is 00:15:53 we were moshing what's a summer more than a clam slam nothing it's like literally should be the event of the summer in fact Allie
Starting point is 00:16:00 we should I don't know if it's too late we should plan some sort of an end of summer clam slam clam slam on the beach and we'll get a band
Starting point is 00:16:08 to play it or something what band I don't know we should find a band that will play our clam slam I bet there's a band somewhere called the clam slammers
Starting point is 00:16:15 I think Vanessa make a note and put it on my desk making a note add it to all the other notes Klein Alley Show, End of Summer, Clam Slam. Seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen, but we're going to do it. Of all the stories we've heard, which one of them do you feel had the biggest fun or summer fail?
Starting point is 00:16:32 You know, I know there are a lot of fail stories we've heard, but the woman who peed on the trampoline, I just feel so bad for her and her kid, and that he's going to get teased for that forever. Congratulations. You've brought your son. Endless years of humiliation and probably a lot of years of therapy. But you've got yourself some tickets to go to a show at the Hollywood Bowl. So it was all worth it, I guess. Toilet Bowl, not good for you.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Hollywood Bowl, you'll be there. Smart List Live, October 17th. Congratulations. Her name was Jess. And she's the winner on K-Rock. K-Rock, we are Klein Alley Show. The moment of the show you've been officially waiting for is finally here. It's Panty O's Greg here with the Entertainment Report Live from Hollywood.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Nope, we don't have time for that. But thank you, Panty O's Greg. He said he was not going to call the show until September, I believe, was his plan. Oh, that's right. He was taking time off. I forgot about that. There's a lot of messages here. Jake, did he take any time off?
Starting point is 00:17:27 Because it feels like every day there's a ton of messages. Not enough. Because he did take a couple weeks, and then now, the last couple days, he's back, and it's like three or four messages every morning. Okay. So anyway, good to have him back. We appreciate you joining the show. He is a workaholic, that guy.
Starting point is 00:17:43 He can't stay away. The Entertainment Report. You know, I know you've had to play this unfortunate game before. You've had to play it in your car, I know. But I'm sure you've had to play the game What's That Smell in your home. Where you get home and you realize that there is something rank. And you then have to spend as much time as possible to figure out what the culprit is. Where did the smell come from?
Starting point is 00:18:04 How come What's That Smell has never been like a pleasant thing? It's almost always bad. It's never like, wait a minute, something smells like cotton candy and I can't place it. What is going on? Yeah, I know. This is an amazing mystery smell. Is there a Cinnabon that opened up near my house? It's never bad.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I have to find out what it is. It's always a bad smell. And sometimes it gets increasingly worse. Yeah. And when I got home from my little weekend away, you kind of smell like house, just like old house. Like it's been sitting in stale air. Like there's always just kind of a weird muskiness there. But I cleared all that out.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And then when I got home yesterday, which I'm by myself, I've got time to spare. Finally, I was going to relax. I was going to take a nap. You finally found that smell. I can get around to it. For years, I have been wondering what the smell is, but now I've got the time to devote to it. I walk in and I smell something horrible. I think it's food related, but I'm not quite sure.
Starting point is 00:19:03 It could be food, could be death. Those are the two, right? Yeah. Dead rat or rotting food. Right. It could be dead. I mean, dead, not just rat. I mean, at this point, it could be dead skunk, dead possum, any sort of that.
Starting point is 00:19:14 The Kang animal smell is a pretty, especially summer, heat wave, the Kang animal smell. In my house, it could be dead cat. That was my first point of order is, like, check to make sure all three cats were alive. They're there, unfortunately. What about the one that died, though, last year? The one that died is still in the living room. Oh. No, her ashes are in the living room.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Oh, okay. That would explain that. Allie's making sandwiches, obsession style. So I start, I open the trash. It's a brand new trash bag. I'm going, there can't be the trash. Is it the recycling? Did somebody not clean something out?
Starting point is 00:19:43 Smells fine. I take out the recycling. Smell is still there. Do you go to the fridge? Then I make my way over to the fridge. Fridge? Okay, it's been sitting there a few days. There's been things that are leftovers that might be a little musky.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I start taking everything out of the fridge. I toss everything into the garbage, remove the garbage bag, take it out to the side of the house. I go back in. Still smells. This is when you realized it's you. And then I realized it was me all along. The mystery is right. It was in my car.
Starting point is 00:20:11 It was in my car. I smell dead people. I was dead the whole time. Right. Yeah, that sounds about right. In my world. So I'm checking the cabs. I cleaned out the litter boxes, which I'm not really supposed to be doing, just to make
Starting point is 00:20:24 sure. And then I- Why aren't you supposed to be doing that? Is it a pregnant thing? Yeah, technically you're not supposed to because of toxoplasmosis, but- That's just something a pregnant woman who didn't want to clean her litter box said one time. Well, I know.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Katie's not there. I'm like, damn it. Now I actually have to do this. I'm going- So you've hit all the obvious spots, which is usually the first thing. You go all the obvious. Then you start thinking, is there something out of the house? Am I missing something?
Starting point is 00:20:43 Yeah. Then the air conditioner. I'm wondering if there's a dead animal in the air conditioning unit, and it's blowing disgusting smell into the house, which how do I check that? I mean, you got to get a ladder, probably a leaf blower. You got to go into that little crawl space and check the ducts. I'm not going into a crawl space. I don't know what a duct is.
Starting point is 00:21:03 You got to find it. I don't know what the hell's going on. So I've kind of decided I'm going to abandon the search and light a candle. Oh, my God. Really? So when I can't find it, I just light a candle. That's your plan. The search is over.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I'm just going to try to mask the bad smell by lighting things. Sometimes it's old. So you went to room to room, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff, and nothing pointed you in any kind. And I've got a strong sniffer right now. Yeah, that's right. You've got that pregnancy smell. So I know it wasn't upstairs.
Starting point is 00:21:29 I had gone everywhere. I was pretty sure it was originating in the kitchen. and then i and i i i was going through my mind i was like is it old flowers maybe i bought flowers because those can stink up the whole place those things effing stink i used to think flowers were a nice gift to give someone you liked but they're actually the greatest prank gift to give because when they go like two days past prime they will they start stanking yeah they smell so bad and the water smells so disgusting i mean you can go from smelling so good to so bad in like a 12 hour period checked the uh checked all the flowers disposal the sink the kitchen disposal i even
Starting point is 00:22:04 put a little lemon in the disposal to make sure that was nope nothing then i decided to make myself some food i'm putting my food away doing the dishes and i eventually move a bag of cuties and realize that there is one bum cutie oh there's always one bad one in there there's always one bad one a disgusting shriveled green cutie that created that much smell that created that much smell those things are so powerful wow that tiny little green it's got that green mold dust on them yeah yeah then it infects all the other cuties of course sometimes you get a bag of those things costco there's 60 of them in there 59 of them are perfect and it just takes one bad one to ruin the whole bunch some guy who's working at the cutie plan is like i'm gonna f with this bag and i was
Starting point is 00:22:47 like damn bad cutie i didn't think about it and that made the whole that brought the stank to the entire place. I took that cutie, I threw it in the garbage, the smell totally went away. And do you think I got rid of all the other cuties?
Starting point is 00:22:58 Knowing you, no. No, I did not. I'm shocked you even got rid of that one. I'm shocked you even cut around it. There's still a little juice in here.
Starting point is 00:23:04 I can still juice it. I can salvage some of this. Oh, God. So the end of What's That Smell resulted in bad cutie. Who'd have known?
Starting point is 00:23:12 If you had bet a cutie, you'd be cashing in right now. It is absolutely true. Hey, Randy on KROG, good morning, hi. Good morning. Hey, I got the perfect band for you guys for your clam fest oh okay hold on it's not called the clam fest it's called what's

Starting point is 00:24:29 happening in Atlanta. So all you got to do is call in, be the 20th caller in about five minutes when we tell you to and get your name on the standby boarding list
Starting point is 00:24:37 until we call you back next week and give you the good news. You're traveling to see the band not once but twice. Now there's this, your news. Grab your Adderall.
Starting point is 00:24:46 It's time. for ADD News. Here's a little update on cyclosluralysis or whatever cases. Yes, this is still a thing and yes, we still don't know how to pronounce it. We have our first diarrhea disease death that happened.
Starting point is 00:25:00 It's a bad way to go. Two people have died in Michigan. There are now 11,000 cases total, which is a lot of diarrhea. Those poor toilets. Initially, it was linked to Taylor Farms lettuce that was sold mainly at Taco Bell locations throughout the
Starting point is 00:25:16 Midwest, but now they have found another link. Another group of people in North Carolina got it from consuming cilantro and parsley. The people who ate the parsley probably did so by accident because it's impossible to tell the difference between cilantro and parsley when you're at the store.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It's just a garnish, really. They just put that on the plate to make it look a little lively. I hate that cilantro and parsley look so alike and taste polar opposites. One of them is delicious and one of them is absolutely disgusting. I'm just happy that all of these things you've mentioned, lettuce, cilantro, parsley, they're all nothing I ever buy. You don't buy cilantro?
Starting point is 00:25:51 No. If it's there, I eat it. If it's not, I don't. Wow, you're in the middle. You're mad on cilantro. I almost got that clip he plays about me and my feelings on cilantro. I don't know where it is, but I've heard it before. You pronounce it how my grandmother used to pronounce it.
Starting point is 00:26:06 It's got cilantro in it. That's the version of that. She used to say vagina, too. Yeah, yeah, that's right. And tortilla. Excuse me, there's cilantro in this? That's the clip, thank you. Cilantro, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:16 That was my impression of my mom, to be completely honest. Jake, I know you're not happy that we put some AI-generated images of you on your Bumble profile. I do think it still helped you, but consider yourself a trendsetter, because all of Tinder is also going AI. This is against their will because of a new AI tool that they are now removing. Tinder has been giving some users unsolicited makeovers. The dating app recently rolled out an AI-powered photo-enhanced tool for users in the U.S. It's meant to simply sharpen blurry images, adjust brightness and exposure,
Starting point is 00:26:49 but some Tinder users feel it's gone too far. In some examples, you can see how a smile has been added. In others, the changes are more cosmetic, adding smoother skin and longer lashes. While in some others, the brightness has been significantly adjusted, which can have an effect on skin tone. So people are not happy with it, and now they're pausing the tool, but I would be all for it. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Give me some longer lashes. Just give me a smile over my resting bitch face. I'll take it. I thought I was meeting a happy black man. Instead, it's an angry white man who showed up. It's the exposure. With a scowl on his face. Changing around everything.
Starting point is 00:27:24 I think it's a great idea to use AI, but I think it should be focused less on the person you're going to meet and more on the background. A lot of people post pictures and their room is a mess behind them. Use the AI to clean up their room. Make it look like they live in a better place. Or put a smart people bookcase in the background. Very different with men and women. Guys look at pictures and they're very focused on the woman and her face, body, whatever. Women will look and they will focus on that part.
Starting point is 00:27:48 And then they'll look around. They'll look at what's going on behind the scenes. They'll say, is it easy? They're like, look at that shelf. It has so much dust on it. Is he messy? Does this look like he's living? Does he have a roommate?
Starting point is 00:27:58 Very detail oriented. Right. That's the kind of stuff that the AI can help clean up. Right. Some of the evidence. It can just kind of clean up the red flags. You know, in my circle of friends, there was a debacle happening because one friend was using AI scrubbing
Starting point is 00:28:11 for group photos and was scrubbing herself but also scrubbing other people in the photo before posting it. Scrubbing in a good way to try to make people look better? No, no, like blowing people up without their consent and then
Starting point is 00:28:27 posting the pictures and it's like, okay, this doesn't even look like me. Oh, she wanted to look like she had hotter friends? Yeah, or she would do herself only and everyone else would look horrible. That's so selfish. So it's like they have these apps that you can really get in there and airbrush and make yourself look absolutely incredible. Not realistic, but if you look like you're in a beauty pageant and everyone else looks like a gargoyle.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Here's the real question. I know there's a lot of stuff you can do to make yourself look fake better. But if it's just a lighting and angle issue, a lot of people say everything's lighting and angles. Lighting and angles, not one other Photoshop, no Facetune, none of that crap. You just figure out if you have better angle and better lighting. I think if people knew what their angle was or the right lighting was, you could take someone who's a 5 or 6 and make them look like a 7 or an 8. Just on that alone. And that's not being dishonest.
Starting point is 00:29:15 That's just using the tricks. Using what you got. Yeah, exactly. Ali's got some computer that we use for Zoom sometimes. And I don't know what you have on there. You get a boner every time you do that. He doesn't pay attention in the meetings because he's looking at himself. I and you have never looked better.
Starting point is 00:29:31 And I'm sitting next to you in real life going, what the hell is going on here? It's got like a face to it. What does it have on there? I don't know. it's on my zoom it has some kind of like a retouch feature i don't know it was like that well when i got you must have that maxed out to the top because it is one i'll look and i'll be like i'm looking at someone who kind of looks like a hotter alley and then i catch myself i'm like well look at that guy but you're you're absolutely right there should be ai if we're going to use it
Starting point is 00:29:54 to our advantage it should be able to look at a person and say here's how you should take a picture i've analyzed your face here's your angle here are your colors here's where you should stand here's the lighting that's good for you like help us just help us take better pictures instead of fixing
Starting point is 00:30:08 the bad ones we took there's an app they keep trying to get me to download and they keep saying like you need basically monster fix
Starting point is 00:30:16 it's called monster fix they'll make me look like less of a monster they will take your actual picture and they will show you you know using AI
Starting point is 00:30:24 whatever what type of hairstyle you should have on your head and on your facial hair well it's not the one you just got I know
Starting point is 00:30:30 Ali thank you I haven't I can tell you that we don't need AI haven't paid for the app yet so uh my i got something called hat it's better than an app you just put it on and solve your problem cover your head but that's the whole thing is that so many people are walking around going you could be a better looking version of yourself but you got the wrong haircut you got
Starting point is 00:30:48 part to the left you should be part of the right you used to need money for that but now i think you can just use ai yeah but for some reason it still doesn't look as good as real life that's true here's your nominee for douche of the year the people who stole truckloads of supplies from a bunch of kids at a summer camp camp agape california says thieves stole a trailer packed with thousands of dollars worth of sleeping bags kitchen supplies and other essential gear camp's gonna go on but they're racing right now to replace those items they also want the person who stole it to know that they are forgiven because that's what camp agape is all about the person's like okay thank goodness camp agape has forgiven me but according to the kids they
Starting point is 00:31:27 love this place going there i felt god was like hugging me in his arms and told he keeps on telling me to come back to the camp yikes red flag it's easy for the counselors to be like god is wrapping you in a big hug and he's also telling your parents to write another check yeah so you can stay at camp a little longer so god can continue to give you that big old hug we got to uh get into a brand new hour of the show right now and the very first thing we do is ask you to give us a call if you'd like to be a part of k-rock's road trip usa why the hell not it's completely free takes no time at all and all you got to do is get through the pesky busy signal as you call us at 800-520-1067 call or 20 let's go
