Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 2- Gen Wars, Clickbait and MORE

Episode Date: July 30, 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. Less than an hour to go until we get you Foo Fighters tickets.

That's the very first pair we have for you this morning as part of K-Rock's summer ticket blowout. You'll be winning tickets all day starting at 9 a.m. straight up through 6 p.m. And the first pair will be you and the Foo Fighters. So be ready to win those tickets from us later this morning. This hour, though, we get you, as we mentioned, into a cabana at a water park so you can lazy river the heat wave away. And thank you to our friends at Wild Rivers in Irvine for hooking us up so that we can hook you up with the cabana and the food and the beverage

and, of course, all that water park fun. Allie went there. Vanessa went there. That's Cabana Klein for you. He'll be there. I mean, the cabana is the way to go, and $100 food and beverage credit, that'll get you pretty far at Wild Rivers. I saw Vanessa double-fisting those high noons. She loved it. They also have a whole new dirty soda menu.

That's the big trend now. So we'll get into this hour of the show. And if you need us, the phones remain the same as last hour, 800-520-1067 or 323-TIP-BOLI. If you'd like to interact with the show. My name's Klein. There's Allie right there. She's pregnant and a lesbian. Jake the Nerd.

What's up? Recovering from his tantrum of yesterday. I feel great. We think we know the reason why that happened, and we'll give you some audio evidence a little bit later this hour to prove why we believe our theory is right. Of course, there's DJ Omar Khan. Hello. And then in the back, you've got the Postmaster Johnny and producer Vanessa taking the calls, 800-520-1067. This also is the hour, Ali, that we let you earn bragging rights for your entire generation with the return of Generation Wars.

That doesn't have a monetary value, but I think it's priceless in its own way. And I think, you know, based on last week, we had that Gen X winner. And she thought she definitely had that I'm better than you vibe. A lot of Gen Xers do. That's okay. I'd like to challenge anyone who's a millennial or a Gen Z or even you boomers to really step it up this week so you can earn some bragging rights and a prize and much more. It's all coming up on KROQ. Clickbait is next.

There are certain phrases you could say to anyone you meet that will instantly make you more likable. And if you're concerned that people don't like you or you get annoyed by people that just seem to have everyone gravitates towards them, they've got good vibes, maybe they're using these phrases and you're not. And there are certain phrases, three specific phrases, but I will accept any of them that you give me that will instantly make you way more likable to anyone you meet. This is useful in life because if you want to be more likable to your boss or to a coworker or a client or potentially you're on a first date situation, you just want the person to like you more. These are the phrases you should be using. We'll find out exactly what they are as we get into Clickbait. Here we go. All right, here we go.

There are three phrases, according to experts, that study human behavior. And if you use any of these phrases or potentially figure out a way to crowbar in all three, you will instantly become significantly more likable to the person that you are interacting with or the person you say this phrase to. It's like having magic. So what do you believe the phrase is? I know this is hard for you, Allie. This is not your sweet spot.

No, it certainly is not. I go with the opposite of anything that you would normally say. Like, I don't have cat problems. You know what? I bet one of them is like, oh, me too. I do that too. Like, saying that they like the same things. Agreeing.

Like, oh my gosh, that reminds me of this. I do that too. I'm the same. So you're trying to find common ground. Whatever they say they're into. Oh, man, I got that Sly Fee Sifori ass thing. Me too. Yeah, oh, my gosh.

I totally know what you mean. Who knows? Where you can be on that same plane. Okay, so you say just agree, blindly agree with excitement. Yeah. Interesting guess. Same, same. Jake, you're also not someone I would consider very likable.

Thank you. But what is a phrase you could or should be using if you want to be instantly way more likable? It's a phrase, not like a question. Not only is it a phrase, the experts call it a magic phrase. These are magic phrases. that will make you more likable. These are three key ones you must use. How about I hope you're well?

What? I hope you're well? Isn't that a phrase? Isn't that a greeting? It's a phrase, right? If someone said that to me, I would be like, what's wrong with you, creepo? I hope you're well.

I was like, why? Do I not look well? I hope you're well. Are you going to do it with your Shaq voice you put on? Yeah. I hope you're well. I hope you're well. That sounds creepy.

I'll write it down. Omar? Yeah. What is the phrase? if you want to be more likable. I know you're concerned always with being more likable. Say something like, hey, sweet cheeks. Hey, sweet cheeks.

That does make people feel good about themselves, I think, when you hear that. Or hey, good looking. Something like that. Or you use phrases that match their generation. Hey, sweet knockers. Hey, sweet knockers. Hey, hot pants.

All right. All good guesses. Something along those lines. Toots. Complimentary. What are the odds that no one on this show is able to come anywhere near the actual answers to be more likable?

Yeah, we're not good at this. There's three magic phrases that you could use according to these social skills experts. Is it compliments? I like your skirt or some crap? Sweet cheeks? Hope you're well, Ted. So the first one is, I was just thinking of you. Anytime you say to the person that you run into or, oh, I was just thinking of you, it

lets them know that they're so important to you that you were actually... Even if you weren't? Even if... Yeah, of course, you probably weren't. You just say it. It happened to me and I called BS right away. Of course you would Of course you would, Jake

I was just thinking If you knew you were Prove it Prove it I was just thinking About how frustrating you are I had Matt Pinfield at a concert And he goes

I was just thinking about you I'm like, the hell you are You know what? Pinfield has said that You did that to Matt? Yeah, by the way Pinfield has said that To me before too

And now I think That he must have this Because he's very likable Matt Pinfield is so likable Universally loved And I could see That he's figured out a way Because whenever I

I've run into him A few times And he's like Oh my god I was just having a conversation About you And I'm like, really? Does he go into detail, or he just moves on?

No, but I don't question him like Jake. I told him, like, the hell you were. I just say thank you. I don't go, like, no, you were not. The poor guy's like, all right, I'll hobble away on my cane. Anytime you see someone and you say... It's, like, so sad. Jake steals his cane and hits him with it.

You were not thinking about me. You're thinking about me now? He doesn't need a cane anymore. He's walking without it. Oh, good, good. It's good to know. See? So anyway, the first one is I was just thinking about you.

You used to say that. And I will say, when anyone has ever said that to me, now that I think about it... I'm honored, yeah, of course. I do feel very, like, I'm like, wow, really? That's crazy. But you don't know if it was good or bad. Maybe they were thinking horrible things about you. So that's the number one magic phrase.

You say to anyone at all, oh, my God, I was just thinking about you. They call you randomly, and then you say that, and they go, it instantly makes you more likable. Phrase number two, the last time we talked, you mentioned blank. Oh, like you remember? You bring up anything at all, no matter how obscure or random it is, you bring it up when you're talking to them again, And you're like, you know, hey, but last time we told you, you mentioned that you were, you know, going to San Diego for the weekend or something. She told me a boring story about some comedy show you were performing. And I was that.

Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. You work that in and then they go like, then they feel appreciated. Like you've been, like you're memorable again. And also you feel bad about yourself because you're going like, I don't remember one thing they said to me. Right.

And they're thinking about me and knows about my like last conversation. But also I feel like that's a bad in my column. I have such a bad memory. I can't remember what you and I talk about most of the time. But that's why you just got to go vague with it. But the last time we talked, you mentioned... The word the. Pizza.

Yeah, right. You mentioned pizza last time. Yeah, I did mention that. I did probably. Thank you for remembering that. Did I? What's the final one? The final one is you say this phrase, you're always so...

Annoying. Probably not that. It's like you're always so on top of it. Frumpy looking. You're always so below it. you say like thanks for noticing oh my god

the phrase is you're always so and then insert something there that fits the person that's complimentary so that's where you would work

in the compliment and as soon as you say like wow you're always so fashionable you're always so put together oh you're always so on top of it you know who I feel

does all these things is Johnny he's a good socializer around the office well Johnny's liked by most absolutely yeah he's liked

by most people because he does a lot of that he's a social butterfly yeah he's always constantly yapping with people and he's bringing up stuff they said.

Remember, he used to get mad at me because everybody would walk by my doorway and stand in the doorway and just talk to me while the show was going on. He was like, I was just thinking about you. Oh, damn it, I was just thinking about you. Because we're trying to do a show here and we would need things.

He'd be like, hold on, I'm having a conversation with sales lady Becky. About her Komodo dragon. Right, so we don't have time for all that. But regardless, Johnny likes to be liked. So some people are great. Some people don't care about being liked. I just wonder if those people are trying to be liked

by saying those words intentionally or if they're just likable, nice people. Well, Allie, my challenge for you as someone who is not liked is... What are the three phrases that you can constantly say to put someone off so they don't want to talk to you? Is that you need to call someone and use all three of these phrases.

Why do I have to do this? You do it too, then. I'm liked. Nope. Not by me. I'm liked by other people than Jake. I'm liked. You walk around going,

I was just thinking about you. I'll say it more often now. I want to do it with the driving test guy today. Oh, yeah, do it with that guy. Yeah, you need to use that guy. Last time I was talking to you, it was never, because I've never met you. You're always so clipboard-y. We've got to take a break, so there you have it now.

If you need more advice on being likable, use today's clickbait and live a happier life. When we get back, it's time for Gen Wars. Up for grabs, we get you into Wild Rivers with a cabana, $100 food and beverage credit, more importantly, bragging rights for you and your entire generation. If you are a Gen Z, a millennial, a boomer, or a Gen Xer, and you want to go back-to-back weeks, give us a call right now, 800-520-1067. We have questions that will prove you know more about your generation

and the other generations, and that is after this quick break. The number to call, 800-520-1067. Call now and win next. Great collection of questions for this round of Generation Wars. Opportunity for you to get bragging rights for your entire generation. If you're listening, couldn't call in. And hopefully, hopefully you are rooting for your generation. Unless you're one of these people that goes, yeah, I'm a Gen Z-er, but I identify with Gen X.

Whatever the case may be, every generation is slightly different. I think we're all supposed to hate the generations before us and after us. It's officially time now for us to meet the contestants in a brand new week of Generation Wars. This is Generation Wars. Hey, what's the thing? Are we busting or what? You kids and your TikToks. Gen Z-ers, lazy.

All right, representing the Boomer. Let's go backwards in time right now. This person wants us to know that they have an AARP card. That is their hobby, having the card. They were born in 1961, and their name is Mark. Good morning, Mark, and welcome to KROQ. Hi. Hey, good morning, guys.

I will hand it to AARP. They are on it. It's like my parents, like as soon as they turned a certain age, it was like, here's some stuff in the mail. You're going to want to be a part of this. What do you get when you're a member of that club? Like, is it like a Soho house or something? Or what do you get, just discounts at movie theaters?

Yeah, and, you know, if you eat dinner at 4 o'clock, you get a big discount. Oh, that's cool. Cool. All right, we go move on now. He's going to be representing all boomers and boomers that could be listening to the radio right now. So we say good morning to our representation from Gen X, born in 1979. They say the greatest movie ever made was called The Breakfast Club. And this is Allison.

We say, if you like that as well. Allison, good morning, and welcome to KROQ. Welcome to Generation Wars. Hi. Good morning. And do you think The Breakfast Club was the greatest movie ever? One of the best. Yeah.

It was okay. Well, I think if you're a Gen Xer. Oh, my God. It was amazing. You're a Gen Xer. I think that was like your Shawshank Redemption, I believe. I think it was. We move on and we say hi now.

I think it was just as impactful. I think it was, maybe more so. We move on and we say hi now to our representation. By the way, if you're going to cough and have phlegm issues, mark the boomer. Try to do it outside of the phone. I get it. We have a lot of breathing issues, a lot of CPAP stuff with our boomers that can participate. But we think you're valuable to us.

Not so much to the ratings, but you're valuable to us regardless. So thank you for participating. And we say good morning now. Cheers. To our representation from the generation known as the millennial. She had MySpace when it first came out. And who didn't if you're a millennial? We say hi to Taylor, born in 1996, now on KROQ.

Good morning, Taylor. Hi. Hello. Good morning. Were you annoyed when people stopped using MySpace because you had built your MySpace up to be somewhat impressive? And then you're like, now no one even goes there anymore? Yeah. Yeah, and then I moved over to Facebook thinking it was better, and that's my biggest regret.

Yeah. Is moving away from MySpace to Facebook? Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I mean, millennials did, it was like once social media became a thing, it was like, all right, I'm in. This is my platform.

Yeah, and now that there's like a million of them, I think millennials never really got over that. Born in the year 2000. I just want MySpace back. Yeah. I get it. Born in the year 2000. His name is, oh, excuse me, her name is Kylie.

and she collects vinyl records, and this is what's interesting now. You almost get into a place now where it's hard to tell, are they Gen Z? Or do they go into Boomer Tower? Or are they Boomer, because that's what happens. You live long enough, all the things. I bet you at one point, Mark, you collected vinyl, right? I bet he did. Hold on.

Mark has somehow put himself on mute. Are you on the phone with the ER or what? Hey, Mark, you also collect vinyls, huh? Absolutely. Yeah, see, this is where you get to a weird place now, where you go Gen Z and boomers almost have the same hobbies now. Yeah, and it's true because the, you know,

all the old celebrities, old guys that are with women in their 20s, and I'm like, what do they find to talk about? But apparently everything. Yeah, they have, right. That's right. You just got to live long enough. And then, uh...

She's like, well, you have a CD player? You're so hot. So, Kylie, what's the best vinyl in your collection? Um, I think I collected... Oh, my dad listens to, like, super punk music, so, like, we were on the hunt for this Misfits record for the longest time. And I just found it at a place in Whittier, and I'm super happy that I got it.

Your dad's cool. He got you into that. I'd say that's something you do with your dad. Yeah, we go to, like, what are they called? Like, functions. Like, they do, like, these, like, in warehouses and stuff, they do these, like, meet and greets for people to sell their vinyls that they don't want anymore. So we go to all those all the time.

All right, hands on your buzzers. We have a contestant from every generation representing right now, Gen Z, Boomer, Gen X, and Millennial. If you know the answer to the question, you're here. Please yell out your generation. You must yell out, not the answer. Everyone gets confused here. Just yell out your generation. Wait for Ali to call on you.

You'll have a chance to answer. If you're wrong, we will give other people a chance to steal. But do not jump ahead here. It's very important we play by the rules of Generation Wars. Here we go. Question number one. What would you buy from a Delia's catalog? Millennial.

Millennial. Millennial, you got this. Clothing. I will accept that. Delia's was a very popular catalog for, I think it was probably early 2000s. I was obsessed with Delia's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just me going through the catalog and circling everything, but I think it was mainly because the women were really hot. Yeah, they had hot models.

And then you ordered stuff, you had to wait for it to be shipped. It was ridiculous, really. We go to question number two. Can someone please explain to me the cinnamon challenge? Millennium. I heard millennial first. Millennial, go ahead. You put cinnamon in your mouth and you just hold it like a big scoop of cinnamon. What were you going to say, Boomer, out of curiosity?

I heard you try to get in there. I was going to say try to eat a tablespoon of cinnamon every time you cough it out. I will accept the answer that we got from the millennial, which was the first one to lock in. Technically, it's a spoonful of cinnamon, no liquid, and you have one minute to try to get it all down. That is the technical challenge, the cinnamon challenge. And you choke, right? Yes, you choke and cough it everywhere, and everyone has a good laugh. Hilarious.

We move on to your next, but first in to lock in, and I will accept her answer, is the millennial who's up 2-0 right now. Can someone please tell me what the phrase totes my goats means? Boomer. Boomer, go ahead. It means totally agree. That is absolutely correct. I agree with what you're saying.

Also, I will say the much lamer way of saying I agree, which is totes mcgoats. And that is the correct answer. And if you're using that, that is a phrase that will instantly make you less likable. Who owns that phrase? Is that a millennial phrase? That has technically been assigned to the millennial generation, totes mcgoats. But it was a boomer steal. So we move on to your next question.

It is Generation Wars. If you told someone to beat feet, what are you asking them to do? Beat feet. Oh, my God. Hey, Boomer. Go ahead, Boomer. Yes, Boomer. You're talking to yourself?

Go ahead. Hey, Boomer. Hi. Run. Let's go. Let's move. Get out of here. Yeah, this is a Boomer expression that apparently means you got to go quickly.

Let's move quickly. Oh, I've never heard that in my life. Jake, you knew that one? Yeah, I think it's usually used to tell someone to get out of here. Yeah, it's like, let's time. I understand why you know it. Let's leave quickly. Jake, time for you to beat feet.

Out of this conversation, we move on. So now it's time between Boomer and Millennial, two apiece. Wow, this is crazy. We move on. Don't worry if you haven't locked in yet. Maybe your question's coming up in the next batch. Which two things combine to make jeggings? Millennial.

Millennial. Jeans and leggings. That is correct. Man, I had me a lot of jeggings. From jeggings to juggalos, which group do juggalos support? Millennial. Millennial. Boomer.

Insane Clown Posse I will accept that ICP What were you going to say Boomer out of curiosity Insane Clown Posse I don't believe that but okay Alright we move on to your next question This guy's cool I'm plugged in

How long was a rental of a new release movie At Blockbuster good for Boomer 24 hours That is not correct gen x was next to answer gen x go ahead seven days no way too long for a new release new release movie millennial go ahead uh three days no also wrong how stupid is this you want to try to steal this one gen z

take it home was it three days no that was the same answer we just got two days 48 hours was of what you got a new release movie for from Blockbuster. Had to have it back sometimes by noon on the third day. Yeah, didn't you get charged immediately? Oh, yeah, they would charge you right away. They were pretty strict about that. Oh, yeah, those new release movies. I know it sounds stupid, Gen Z, you don't know what we're talking about,

but that was real-life stuff that some of us had to deal with. All right, we go to your next question. It's Generation Wars. Allie, what is the current score? Millennial Taylor has now got four points in the lead, followed by Boomer Mark, who has two. What was the yellow rubber wristband that people wore? What did it say on it?

Millennial. Gen X. Millennial. It said live strong. That is the correct answer. And we move on to your next question. What does flop era mean? Millennial.

Millennial. Gen X. It means you're like failing. You're like, you're chopped. I don't know. You're chopped. I cannot accept that. The next person to answer on this one, I believe, was Gen X.

Gen X, what does flop era mean? You're a failure? There's something more to it than that. It's not just... Anyone? Want to try to steal? Give me a better answer. Gen Z, go ahead.

This is a question that you should know. It means you're in a phase of your life where everything is going wrong. That is the correct answer exactly. Exactly. You're in a long-term phase where all things seem to be going wrong, and we move to your next question. What does being ratioed mean, or if you use the phrase ratioed, what does that apply to? Ratioed. Gen X. Yes, Gen X.

It's a math. It has to do with math. Wow. I mean, I guess historically it does have to do with math, but there's a term that apparently Gen Z use it to mean that it's very different than just math. It has something very specific that it applies to if you are ratioed. I can't believe no one knows this. Like you're even? No. It is when the number of replies on a bad Instagram outweighs the number of likes and retweets.

You have been ratioed. I didn't know that. than matters these days. We only have five questions left now. And I don't know if there's a comeback for anyone, but here we go to your next question. If someone is harshing

your mellow, what are they doing? Boomer. Boomer? They're being unpleasant and bringing you down. Yeah, they are spoiling your good mood, acting like a buzzkill. And we go to this next question.

What was the name of the claymation fruit that would like to sing about hearing it through the grapevine? Boomer. There you go, Boomer. California raisins. That is a correct answer. And what a comeback at the end

with only a few questions left. Allie, Generation Wars, we have a Boomer Millennial battle brewing now. Yeah, Millennials got five points, but Boomer is trailing with four. Here we go, your next question. If someone is trying to exit a conversation with you by saying TTYL, what are they saying?

Millennial. Millennial. Talk to you later. That is correct. Next question. If you bought a ShamWow, what did you buy? Boomer. Oh, my God.

That was tough. You heard Boomer first, Jake? Yeah, Boomer, go ahead. It's a chamois. To watch your car with kind of thing. I will accept that. It was highly absorbent. It's a chamois in a well.

It's a chamois well. I mean, it's right. I mean, it's, yeah. It's the jeggings of the car-walking community. All right, guys, I've got two final questions, and then it's over. So if Boomer gets both of the questions right, he wins. Okay. Okay, let's do that.

I don't think he's going to get both of them right, but everyone is still eligible, so here we go. Which brand featured a giant cartoon bee named Buster Bee or a catchy mermaid song singing Ask Any Mermaid You Happen To See. Whoa. Millennial. Millennial, go ahead.

Was that Chicken Of The Sea? That is correct. In the world of tuna fish. That may have just locked in your win and this is the final question but it doesn't necessarily matter. I'll ask the boomer anyway. Only boomer can answer.

What do you call those things that you stick inside your Crocs to show your personality? No idea. Take a guess. It'd be funny for us all. Croc props? Croc props.

Hilarious. Love a good croc prop. Anyone know the answer to that one? I bet Gen Z does. Millennial. Yeah, Millennial, go ahead. Air gibbets. Gibbets.

Gibbets. All right, well, at the end of it all, listen, it became kind of a runaway show between two generations, and very interesting, and thank you to everyone. Oops, sorry about that. Just hung up on someone that mattered.

How boomer of you. That was very, that's my big fat fingers. I blame my fingers for that one. But at the end of it all, only one generation stands high above the rest. And welcome back to the top of the podium. We say good morning and congratulations to our millennial Taylor, who was on top of it today. Thank you. Taylor, you started bragging about your MySpace.

You end here as the champion of Generation Wars. We give you tickets to a water park so you can go chill out in the lazy river and tell everyone about the Spice Girls. and now we get you, we allow you to play any song that you think is the best representation of your generation on KROQ. Go ahead, say it, and I will play it. Let's do Green Day, something Green Day, anything. All right, anything Green Day. It is time for Sublime on KROQ.

KROQ, we are a Klein Alley show. If you need us, we're around for you now at 800-520-1067. In about 15 minutes, we have your Foo Fighters tickets. It's all part of KROQ's summer ticket blowout, So be ready to call and claim those tickets at 9 a.m. sharp. I recommend you listen to everything that happens between now and then because sometimes we're a little early, sometimes we're a little late. If you were not around, though, and you have a thought you want to share with us,

you can always use the GOAT line. That number is 844-956-GOAT. Hey, this is Rick from Iowa, the guy whose opinion doesn't matter because I live in a flyover state. I didn't realize he would hear us say that, but apparently he did, so he wanted to remind us all that his opinion doesn't matter because he lives in a flyover state. Hey, this is Rick from Iowa, the guy whose opinion doesn't matter

because I live in a flyover state. I had an opinion on this whole Jake Alley loser thing. Do you think that's a loser? I don't know exactly which Jake Alley loser thing he's talking about. There's so many. There's so many. Is this about them losing the driving test, perhaps? And today they'll be battling it out on the open road test.

Maybe that's what it is. You're on the biggest radio station in Los Angeles. Jake is a wonderful bit player on your show. You guys aren't failing. You're doing really, really well. Oh, okay. So in general. He's going to live in Iowa.

Because you guys are not losers, according to this guy. And he wanted you to know that. That even though you lost and you are battling to see who has to sit in the DMV for no reason. We've still won. You're still winners in life. And I look to your show every morning when I have choices. Everyone has a choice with your show. You have no choices.

It's like us or corn. Those are your choices. So thank you for listening. I guess I'll eat more corn. I appreciate you listening regardless. It matters. And it doesn't matter how you found the show. We know there's people that are experiencing this show outside of Southern California, and thank you for that.

It means a lot, even this guy. I think Jake's funny. I love the mustard bit on Instagram and stuff. I love that, dude. I think Jake is a good part of your show. Love you supporting him, dude. You should. If I could get to a California show and watch Jake do comedy, I would, too.

The cricket deal, that was crazy, dude. So anyway, thank you, sir, but you don't have to worry about that because you live in Iowa, and Jake is not yet touring. How long does this go on for? They got crickets out there? Rambles for a while. Get those crickets ready. But your opinion doesn't matter, once again, because you are calling from a flyover state. But we appreciate you calling.

Thank you. We'll take a quick break. We're back in a moment. When we get back, it's actual ADD News time, and then those tickets to go see the Foo Fighters in less than 15 minutes right here on KROQ. Foo Fighters! Foo Fighters! Wait, wait, wait.

Five minutes away. Five minutes away gets you your Foo Fighters tickets. It's part of KROQ's summer ticket blowout. We get to your foos the second we're done with this, your news. Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD News. I think one of the biggest signs you're filthy rich is when you own a team. Used to be a yacht, but I think owning a whole team is a much bigger flex.

And billionaire Mark Walter owns two of them. Two very important teams here in SoCal, the Lakers and the Dodgers. Two very successful teams, or brands, as Trump would call them. But now he is at the center of a giant loan fraud scandal, and he is currently being investigated. And what sucks for him is that this is all being brought to light because of an employee of his. An employee acted as a whistleblower and said there was some very suspicious bookkeeping going on. And now they claim that $16 billion in federal loans was suddenly just kind of showing up in different accounts without really being used for any work purposes. So you're getting a loan and then just kind of pocketing the money.

but of course it's being shifted around to various accounts and different companies and organizations and then it all ends up in like one of his insurance companies and it's not actually being used for anything some of the quote richest people i know or have met and i don't know them personally when you start looking into like how they got all their money they're very good at doing this sort of stuff which is like borrowing from someone and shifting over here and moving that over there and eventually you lose the trace right of the money and you're like ah i don't know I mean, he's got a lot of businesses. He's got a lot of handsome things.

I'm sure he's got money, actual money that he's earned on a couple of sports teams. But a lot of that, it's like you've raised that money from other people. Yeah, it's funny that it's a rich person thing to do. Because somebody that we know, a family friend, grew up rich. Her family was rich, and then she was rich. She kind of had jobs, but they were kind of BS jobs. Yeah, when you work, but you don't have to work, it's a totally different thing. Yeah, she got arrested in a COVID loan fraud scam.

She got fake money from the government, created a fake company, and all this stuff, and got caught and is now in jail. And it's like, why did you do it? You had money. Right. What are you doing? It's weird. It's weird. Although, I think if you figured out how to do it, and then you go, like, that was easy.

Or some other person that's rich suggests it and is like, hey, we're all getting money off this whole COVID thing. You got to get in on this. And you're like, oh, okay. You're just at kind of a cocktail party, and it's just part of the conversation. It feels normal. Or even the whole, like, let's go ahead and store our money in the Cayman Islands where we don't have to pay taxes or whatever it is. There's a million things to do, but this is what, like, this is what rich people do. They start talking about offshore accounts.

I don't know anything about offshore accounts. A little, yeah, I know. I know. I was like, offshore. I just use a regular ass bank. I was like, are you talking about like a bank by Long Beach off the shore of Long Beach? Because I could go there for my banking. So the artist Glenn Hanser died recently in a motorcycle crash in Dublin.

I don't know if you know him, but he wrote the hit song Falling Slowly. It was a huge, huge hit in the 2000s. You remember this song? Guys, such a throwback. It was like he was playing the soundtrack to his own death. I don't know this song. Really? Lullaby?

No. Okay, did you ever see the movie Once? You're a real snoozer with that song. Okay, I know that you're not like a feelings guy. What is that song even for? It's for, okay, so this movie Once was kind of one of those cheap indie movies that ended up being a huge hit. It came out in 2007. Kind of was like Juno status, where it was like for $150,000 they shot this movie.

It ended up making millions of dollars. And then the song from that movie became a huge hit. They even made a big Broadway musical out of it. It won eight Tony Awards. because it's important, all right? Yeah, it's a low romantic movie about an Irish busker and his name is Bled Hansard, all right?

And he wrote the song with his real-life partner and it's about them falling in love and they make a beautiful song together. And it's called Falling Slowly. Here's the way it usually works. Usually the way it would work is this. So-and-so died.

And you may not know who they are, but you probably know this monster hit that they wrote. It is a monster hit. But in this case, you go, here's a guy you don't know and followed by, And here's the song he wrote that you don't know.

You don't know it. Other people do. Terrible song. But it was in the movie that you also don't know. Well, I thought maybe you did. Everybody saw this movie in 2007. This is one of those ones where you are wrong about again. I did see a lot of this on my Instagram feed, but I'd never heard this guy in my life.

Play that to me. It's national news, guys. Is there a hook in the song? The Irish prime minister spoke about this this morning. He's a huge deal. Leave it in Ireland, man. Does the song get to a hook somewhere, Allie? where you go,

like, oh, now I recognize it? Oh, oh, oh, boys, you have a choice. You've made it. Oh, oh, oh, you've made it. And they can't be together because she's married

and she's got a family and she just plays piano in the piano stores because she can't afford one in her house and then they fall in love and they can't be together. Somebody else saw this movie.

323, is this a gay thing? No, it's not. And it's sad that the guy died in a motorcycle accident or I lost a life here. It's just a gay thing. The L.A. Zoo has had their fair share of bad news. The nonprofit that was funding and managing them has gone bankrupt,

and they had to get rid of those elephants, Billy and Tina, after years of people protesting. But they are very excited to share some good news that they're getting some new animals in the zoo. And this is some goat news for you. Four new baby goats that were born at a local high school are now being adopted by the L.A. Zoo. So they are four female boar goats.

They were born six months ago at Covina High School, and this is part of their little Future Farmers of America program. So they're going to be added to the L.A. Zoo. So the L.A. Zoo is just as mediocre as it was three days ago. You know, I try to support the L.A. Zoo on a regular basis. Dude, I went a few weeks ago, and I was like, this place is so good. I love the kettle corn there. It's the best kettle corn on the planet. They get all my money.

They got the Dippin' Dots. I even pay a little extra to ride that stupid carousel. But goats is not going to get you. You need to get some better animals than goats. Well, and everyone has goats. I feel like that's just a thing at every fair. It's a thing at every, like everyone has a petting zoo with goats. Goats don't get the, there's no wow factor.

That's a skippable. You got to get some more. You got to get like a dragon or something. You got to get something to get people paying attention to goats. Well, and I felt bad because the last time I went, I had some friends that live near San Diego, so they're used to going to that zoo. That zoo's got everything. And they kind of kept turning corners going like, is there going to be a panda around?

I'm like, no, but here's an anteater. Every once in a while, you get to an exhibit that at one point had an animal there and then a sign that says. It says they're not here anymore. Yeah, they're gone. This lion ain't here no more. But why don't you walk over there and see some more goats? I kind of just walk around that zoo waiting for a crowd. I'm like, if there's a crowd over here, there's something interesting.

Yeah, I mean, I hate to say this, but one time, and I know you're going to make fun of me because I'm the same guy that tried to save a dog only to find that it was a statue, but I one time stood and stared at what I thought was an alligator for probably five, six minutes thinking it was going to do something, and it was a bronze sculpture of an alligator, but like inside of a cage or inside of an area. Why would they put a... You really get screwed over by statues, don't you? Regularly, like regularly. I really throw you. Yeah, the amount of soldiers I see on a day... You and my four-year-old get really confused. I have a lot of conversations with some of the Lakers greats.

562 said, my neighbor just got four goats. Okay, see, that's what... It's pretty easy to do. It's not that impressive. Have I gone and had a conversation with Shaq outside of crypto only to realize it was a statue of Shaq? Yes, I have. Okay, I'm not the only one.
