Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 2- Klein's Parent's Midlife Crisis, Lifetime Achievement Award and MORE

Episode Date: July 27, 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 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 K-Rock.

I can't believe it's been a year, but get ready for the return of Park Week. We'll give you the grand prize you could be competing for in moments. And all you have to do is take pictures of terribly parked cars all over Southern California. It won't be difficult. In fact, a video that's gone up on our Instagram shows last year, Alley, you and I going out there fighting the good fight, putting some tickets on people's cars just for being terrible parkers. We even confronted a guy who was in his car, terribly parked, just sitting there. Blocking four spots, that guy was, by choice.

He even acknowledged, I parked like an a-hole. Yeah, and he said, that's my thing. That's what I do. So we got that out there. You can see what it looks like. And people are already demanding our services and all sorts of things. People are saying, come to Glendale. You've got to come.

Oh, please, get yourself to Long Beach immediately. Oh, you don't have to look far. No, no, it's all over the place. It's a real problem. And the reality of you getting attacked by a shark is pretty rare. I think you have a better chance of winning Powerball than getting attacked by a shark. But the reality of you coming across a terrible parker that will potentially ruin your day depending on if they've parked so close to you you can't get into your own car

or they have boxed you in completely. I mean, there's a million ways to be a bad parker, and we have figured out all of them. I even think those little cars that pull all the way in the front of the spot so that we can't see. Yeah, I would say qualify that as bad parking, too. I mean, I got false hope. Some people say the motorcycle guy can pretty much leave his car anywhere, leave his little bike anywhere, but he still takes up a spot. It seems unnecessary.

So Park Week is back, baby, and we will tell you about the grand prize in a moment if you want to be a part of it. There's actually official rules this year. Of course, we tell you, tag us in all pictures at Klein Alley Show so we can repost and bring some attention to the terrible parking jobs you've seen. In fact, one of the first submissions that came through this year was the way that I guess I parked my car on Friday here at K-Rock. I was barely over the line a little bit, but someone claimed that it made their getting in and out of their car experience not great. Really? So they took a picture of my car and already— I feel like the spots here are pretty wide, too.

Yeah. And they do, like, the double lines. That's what's nice, is you don't just get one line, you get two. Well, I was not over both. I was over one of the two lines. Oh, who cares about that? That's the way I look at it. But we'll get into all that coming up in a moment,

and we will announce exactly how you can be a part of Park Week 2026. We need your help. But first, Ali, remember this angry woman that called last week? She was really mad at me. A lot of people have called about this. Hi, this is in response to the comments made online about what you are going to do, Klein is going to do to his wife while his kids are at summer camp. And you repeated that to your children.

And as an elementary school teacher, I can tell you that your kids will go to school and repeat those comments to other kids and laugh and snicker and make jokes. An analogy is calling somebody the N-word. So she said that me saying that I was going to turn my wife into a balloon animal was the equivalent of using the N-word. That was basically the point she made. I didn't really understand the connection there. They don't know what it means, and you're right.

Your kids don't know what it means, but they repeated it at school. So you need to use better judgment or better parenting skills with your kids. And I was just making the joke when they said, what are you and mommy going to do when we're away for a week? And I said, oh, daddy's turning mommy into a balloon animal. And it was me being fun. I thought I was being flirty with my wife. Well, I don't think your wife found it cute and flirty.

No, no, not at all. And I think she even added when we talked to her about it last week that you had said your wife wouldn't be able to walk anymore. Yeah, she added that part, but that was because she kept saying

all she wanted to do when they went away was go for walks. This is her big thing. She's like, oh, this is so great. Every night we're just going to go for long walks.

Oh, that sounds nice. What's preventing her from going on walks with the kids? There's nothing except they wouldn't want to do it. After five minutes,

they're hungry or tired or whatever. Their legs hurt and they had little legs so they don't move fast and she wanted to go for it and she kept saying all she wanted to do

was walk, walk, walk. How long is she going to walk? She just wants to keep walking, just forever. Just never stop walking. It's funny, because her saying she just wants to walk and reorganize, I'm like, that sounds great. Sounds terrible. I was like, a week without the kids, I said, that's a blue animal time, baby. Let's go.

And she goes, oh, we'll walk, we'll walk, then we'll organize, then we'll walk. At one point, she said, we could probably walk to a container store, buy more stuff to organize with. Like, oh, that sounds terrible. Well, that's ridiculous. Anyway, this woman called and said that was the equivalent of me using the N-word. A lot of people had a problem with this. Because it's grossly inappropriate what you said to them. Okay.

Hey, guys, I'm a longtime listener since the Kevin Kline live days. Nothing has made me mad that I heard. I mean, legit mad until what I heard on Thursday's show. And that's when this white woman called up to compare Kevin making a stupid sex joke to his kids. First of all, not a stupid sex joke. You don't know that that lady's white, by the way. Clever sex joke. Oh, my God.

To his kids using the N-word. Why would you even think that unless that word was already rattling around in your brain? you racist bitch whoa not you alex what's the problem i'm talking about okay that was just one one of many calls i mean there's hundreds of these calls hey so i'm listening to this balloon animal gate debacle you guys are going through as i hear you explain the joke side note first comparing it to the n-word is something only a white 40 year old woman would do so when you're describing the joke as involving inflation and bending it really ruins it the only real analogous thing there

could be here that is going to make his wife make squeaking sounds, twisting, folding the balloon animal. That is the only way that joke makes any sense. Thank you. So now he's got a problem with the woman but also with the joke. Thank you.

Yeah, hey, so I want to call in response to the teacher who called in and said that ridiculous comment about you turning your wife into a balloon animal. First of all, she's an idiot. it has nothing to do, like, the analogy of the N-word is ridiculous. I can't believe that's a teacher.

Like, she doesn't even know what an analogy is. She's supposed to be teaching our children. And second of all, yeah, the kids, not only do the kids not know, but they're going to go to school, and they're going to talk to their friends, and they're going to tell their friends that their mom's going to be a balloon animal. And you know what those kids are going to do? They're going to be like, what the hell does that mean? We don't understand.

The only thing, the only person that could possibly understand what you're talking about is the teacher. If the teacher hears it. And if the teacher hears it and makes a comment about it, then that's a bad teacher. Okay? The teacher just needs to move on and ignore that crazy, hilarious joke that you said to your kids that I think is going to be funny for the next 20 years. Oh, my God. I love you guys. Bye.

So anyway, people are all heated about this. So a lot of people who are outraged about her are men? That's right. All men that called in defending you? There's some women on the photos. I agree that it just wasn't really that great of a joke. Okay, thank you. Fine, we can agree on that.

Linkin Park now, and then we'll explain exactly how to get involved. From Linkin Park to Park Week is officially here. Welcome back to 2026. Truck Week on TV. Park Week happening in your lives on a daily basis. And if you want to get involved this year, take a picture of a terribly parked car and immediately tag us in at a Klein Alley Show. Also, you must submit officially by going to KROQ.com slash Park Week.

And we need your pledge that you will attend all three events without parking like an a-hole. Right. That's the key right there. So if you see them parked wherever you're going, stop for a second,

and more for you after this on so much more than just those random things you have sitting in that random drawer in your kitchen they have become something that we think are worthy of their own accomplishments and usually in the world we live in if someone is getting honored with a lifetime achievement award it's like uh that dame judy dench or whatever it's uh you know uh meryl streep again and they haven't really done much to save our lives on a daily basis but that's why we started with the lifetime achievement awards and the first ever recipient was that ikea blue bag that has gotten us all out of a lot of binds you have to leave a relationship quickly you can pack it. You can fill

every grocery. It's unlimited. It doesn't break. It's unbreakable and it's saved us a million times and since then we've added quite a few other things to the Lifetime Achievement Awards including the tiny towel, the load towel for after sex that Vanessa told us about. Vanessa, not for that. She said, well, if all your actual towels

are dirty, just for car sex, you can use the tiny towel and the tiny towel is there for you for whenever you need it, but we all know the real reason and it made it into the Lifetime Achievement Award. I think that was the highest vote ever we received for anything making it in. Oh, it was turned into limited edition merch. Yeah,

we made them. We have Klein Alley Show load towels. Yeah, unfortunately, we don't have any left. Tiny towels. Those load towels are gone. People took them immediately. I still use it when I work out. Yeah, me too, Allie. Wink, wink. You know what I'm saying? So it's time now to wipe off my load. For a new round of nominees

for the Lifetime Achievement Awards. Here we go. Klein Alley Show. Lifetime Achievement Award Thank you for everyone who has given us things to think about Like that trash can that's sitting at the gas station That allows you to take all of your filth from your car

And immediately make it someone else's problem Especially when it's a big trash can It doesn't get overflowing easily In a moment you will have the opportunity to give us your votes And let us know who's making it in And who is going to be just another everyday loser So let's go ahead and hear some nominees right now And Vanessa since you brought us that load towel

You get to go first this week, so whatever you're... Okay, I'm bringing the random little fan that you forgot you had. You know what I'm talking about? Like yesterday was my uncle's birthday, and it was hot. We had all the fans going. He's like, wait, I have another one. It's like in the garage, in the corner. And like this fan just came out of nowhere.

All the random little fans. We do have one little tiny, it's like a desk fan. It's a little white one, and we only use it a few times a year. But it does kind of come in clutch, and it is a strong fan. When you remember you have it, and then you plug it in, it actually still works. You're like, yes! Especially when there's a heat wave like we've had now, humidity, heat. It's been terribly sticky and gross.

And there's a good chance that places you go to buy fans, they're out, or you don't want to go out. But you're like, I just need a little airflow. And they're like, I think I have a fan in the garage. Yeah, and they're always the old school ones. Yeah, it's an old-school one, because I had one of those, like, fancy oscillating fans. That thing broke. That thing sucks. Yeah, yeah, the old ones, the ones that'll, like, get your tetanus if you touch the blades.

The ones that take up a lot of space, even if they're small. Yeah, there's nothing soothing about the sound. It's kind of like you hear that. Yeah. It's grinding. All right, Vanessa. I think that's a good nominee. Vanessa's nominee is that extra fan that you have forgotten about.

Once again, if you're just new to the show or you're wondering what else has made it into our Lifetime Achievement Award before we give you your next nominee this week. We have the Ikea bag. We have the random frozen meal you found in your freezer that still somehow tastes okay even though it's been in there forever. Water bottoms, the bottles of water in your car that just have the little bottoms that you could use for an ashtray. That last bit of water.

You need a little sip. You have to take a pill. The house dog that will eat any food you don't want to eat if you're out with company and they're not good cooks, and you can go ahead and give all that stuff to the dog. Or if you just don't want to clean up. Blame stuff on the dog. Dogs are great to blame farts on, et cetera, early dating.

Of course, the load towel and the hotel lobby bathroom have all made it in, so congratulations. I will say, though, that fans in general are overrated. I think most of the time they're just blowing around hot air. For the most part. Yeah, and it's like, ooh, a fan, like it's going to change everything, and it really is just blowing hot air in your face. It's fine when it's not as hot as it's been here, but once it gets north of 100, that fan does really not a lot of relief. Yeah, I mean, I think it's a minimal amount of relief, which is something for a heat wave, but overrated in general. 818 says Vanessa probably likes the fan because it allows her to sound funny so she can talk into it and make funny voices.

Oh, my God, yes. See, that's why. Oh, my God. We've never done that. It's like, how does this happen? That's why Vanessa loves the fan. I knew it had nothing to do with keeping her cool. I knew it was for the kids' reason.

It makes sense now. Allie, what's your nominee this week? So my nominee is, it's a specific one. if you go to a community pool or i guess if you go to rent one of those pools whatever you get there you didn't bring anything with you it's just you and a bottle of sunscreen and you're not really sure how it's going to work out and then there is a random floaty or toy that is left in the pool and you're like oh my god cool an inflatable shark all of a sudden i'm gonna have lots of fun because this pool toy was left over in the pool the leftover pool toy that someone either forgot

or it's half broken and they decided to just leave it at the pool, I think that's a great unexpected joy when you go to the pool. Somebody else is floaty, somebody else is inflatable that you can play with, and then you don't have to lug it back to your place or put it in your car because it's not yours and you don't have to worry about it. Yeah, I think any time there's a forgotten whatever, and in this particular case you're talking about something in the pool, but like every once in a while you go to the park and you brought nothing

and there's like someone just left a soccer ball there randomly. Totally, something to play with. What a score this is. Yeah, something that was kind of fun turns into way more fun because it was unexpected. And it was free, so it didn't cost you anything. And there's no responsibility attached to it. You do run the risk that at any given moment

you're going to be on it and someone's going to go and be like, hey, get off my raft, bitch. But other than that... I left my inflatable shark and you took it. Yeah, but... For the most part, it's been there for days. And then sometimes you go back and it's still there and it just becomes a community pool toy.

Some would find it gross to use another person's raft or... but I guess you don't find that gross. I guess you're the gross part. No, I don't think it's gross. If I pee on it, it's mine. Yeah, that's how it is. I hate the half-broken one, though, because if you have a shark

and one of the fins isn't inflated and you try to get on it, you're always falling off. That's why they left it there. They didn't realize. Someone else will look like an ass and get wet. Or those ones that are like mesh, but then the mesh is broken

and you just fall right through. Jake, I don't think you've ever given us anything that has won the Lifetime Achievement Award. You brought some things to the table. Most of them are not great things, but in fact, the last time, I think you brought us the forgotten about bag of ice. Oh, yeah, that was great.

Well, no, it didn't get any votes. It should have gotten a vote. Did you have a nominee this week? You know what? I like having the change in your car when it comes to, like, when you're parking and you need to feed the meter and, like, you know, you don't have the car swiper or the car swiper's broken. Like, that, like, extra couple cores or whatever just to give you, like, 15, 30 minutes when you really need it. The change in your car. I think random change in the car is actually a strong nominee.

It's not just for meters, though. It's every once in a while you actually find, like, a homeless person that you feel for and you have a little something. little pony outside of a grocery store that you need to ride bounce on a pony but but sometimes if you have enough change if you've got a good collection of like i'm talking dollars worth of change you sometimes are at a situation where place credit card machine's not working they don't take apple pay whatever it is and you're like i think i may have like exactly two dollars in my car worth of it's just sad going in there and handing the handful of change but if that gets you a slurpee or something you're like man i've won this one i guess for me i never carry

change anywhere i don't even have one i don't even think i have one penny or a dime or nothing I don't think of any change whatsoever. Jake's right. If you have that little, I know some people got a Ziploc bag full of change in the car. And sometimes that gets you out of a bind. Just saying. It's not a terrible, in Jake's world, it's not a terrible nominee. I feel like now if you don't have change, they're like, eh, just take it.

No, no, no. If you add up to enough. I think we're going into an anti-change world. I bring to you a useful item that I think is sadly doesn't get the glory it deserves. But I think it's all saved our ass so many times. and I don't know how it is not a Lifetime Achievement Award winner yet, but I bring to you the bucket. Oh, just bucket?

In general, I just think of all of the many uses for the bucket and how if you have a bucket floating around, sure, you could step on it to turn off that beeping smoke alarm if you need it, but you could also, first time something starts leaking, you're like, we got a giant bucket, that goes under there. You sit on that, that becomes an extra seat if needed, more people come by. Some weird hippie wants to come by and start drumming,

you give them that bucket as well. Puke, car wash, gardening. Just in general, I just think having that one bucket, a bucket. I mean, I'm mopping, sure, but, like, I just think the one used multipurpose bucket deserves a war. I only have one. You have one bucket? Like, nobody has more than one, right? I don't think you need more than one.

Oh, I have multiple. I was going to say maybe Omar has. You have different buckets for different things? Mostly for gardening, but then I have the poison water buckets, and then I have buckets for softball. So I have a multitude of buckets. You have just a softball bucket? It's full of softballs. Softball is a coach.

You've got to bring the softball bucket. A bunch of softballs. I have four softball buckets. After the season. To attract the lesbians. It's the same thing as a mosquito bucket. And the other one's for the mosquitoes. Oh, no.

There's all these dead lesbians. And I'm softball bucket. But Omar, would you agree that the bucket is what it is? Oh, you could use it for so many different things. So many things. Absolutely. Softballs. Softballs and mosquitoes.

And other things, too. I just think that... When I pull weeds, like today, my big plan is I need to go get a bunch of dead leaves out of all my shrubs. I need a bucket. I need a bucket. Well, you've got to move those lesbians out of there and make room for those weeds. But I'm telling you right now, that bucket, it saved our ass a million times.

If someone says the phrase, don't worry, I have a bucket, that's like, wow, that'll solve the problem. Yeah. And then if you want to do a little drum solo on the street. Right. Just do it. Make it. It's a good side hustle.

You start smashing on that thing with a couple of sticks. Get enough buckets. You'll make a few. Yeah, right. And you turn it over and people put money in it. It's amazing. It's the greatest thing ever. So anyway, let us know your nominees.

Anyone else have any more nominees for this round, or are we done? All right, good. Let us know your votes. We'll post them all. One of these is going to make it as a Lifetime Achievement Award winner. Will it be the bucket, the random raft that was left at the pool, that fan that you need in the clutch, or that sack of change, random collection of change in the car?

One of them is going to get that Lifetime Achievement Award honor, and nothing more important than that. And now we give you the sweet sounds of some wine on KROQ. Votes are pouring through on the text line right now. Keep them coming. We'll put it up on our Instagram as well. Figure out which item makes it into the Lifetime Achievement Awards. It has saved your life before.

If it hasn't saved your life before, it will definitely save it moving forward. And you'll say, I'm so glad I voted for that to win a Lifetime Achievement Award. Allie, I'm concerned about my parents. Are they dying? Well, I mean, we're all dying a little bit every day. Yeah, that's true. It's not for health reasons, but I am concerned that they are going through something right now. and I don't really know what to make of it

because I called them to check on them on Friday because, you know, we're at that point now where we all know someone who, in fact, someone recently worked on the show, Lost a Parent, and we feel bad about that. And so I'm lucky I got two parents still alive and so I don't probably do as good of a job as I should at calling them.

I definitely don't do a good enough job going to visit them because it's all the way across the country. So I decided I'll call and see what's going on in their world and that's when I learned a disturbing piece of information. What happened?

It didn't happen here. Explain this to me. This is my father who told me something and I needed to immediately start recording the call so that I knew I wasn't going insane. Are they doing the old people trend of like going to sex parties and getting all sexed up? Because I know old people are doing drugs and having sex more than ever. That would be less disturbing than what I learned. What? Oh, yeah.

That would be less. I would vote for that over this. And this is very strange. My dad, you know, just retired after working for a long-ass time. I think it was a forced retirement situation. Thrupple? Listen to this. An Nirvana shirt?

A Nirvana shirt? My dad purchased and wore a Nirvana t-shirt. Oh, man. He's in a crisis. I don't know what to make of all this. Did he get his ear pierced? Just one? Is that wearing leather pants?

Yeah. I think this is probably a slippery-ass slope. By the way, this guy, I don't think he's ever worn a shirt with anything on it ever. It's only been solid navy blue shirts. Every once in a while, if he's feeling like he'll have it. I thought I saw him wear plaid in Vegas. Did he wear plaid? No, he was wearing Ralph Lauren.

Yeah, I could see him wearing a shirt with the little horse on it or a whale on it. That would be as extreme as he would get. And that would be like a Vegas thing. Like, it's Vegas, I'll put on the shirt with the little horse on it. Or the little whale. It's always like some little... Because it's fun. That's what fun means.

Right. Horses and whales. Right, so... The Nirvana shirt? You bought a Nirvana shirt. I did buy... No, I just bought the Nirvana shirt because they were being sold at TJ Maxx. Ah, I love it.

Yeah, there's a million of those there. Rock and roll. I'm sure Kurt Cobain would be thrilled to know that after all these years, my father has finally purchased a Nirvana shirt. It's going to be purchased by Maxxinista. Is he into music at all? Oh, no. Never.

Just like you. I have never heard him listen to a song ever. Never heard him listen to music. I've never heard him go to a concert. I know once in a while my mom will drag him to like a musical and he'll fall asleep and he hates it, you know? Would he know if you played him a Nirvana song? Not only would he not know, Omar, I asked him this question. I was looking for something to wear to surprise your mom.

Can I ask you a serious question? Which Nirvana shirt was it? The one with the naked baby on it? Now I start thinking to myself, is my dad walking around wearing a baby's penis on his shirt? which one is that he just seems like a pervert right look i don't think most people advertising so no it it uh had something with wings on the back oh it didn't say it wasn't with respect to any particular concert or tour so anyway and you wore this t-shirt and you surprised mom wearing it yes and mom what did you say well i i would say i was a little bit speechless but i guess he thought

I was a fan of Nirvana and I really was not. I said, that's the kind of music Kevin plays. He actually listened to their biggest hit on YouTube or something. I played it for you. You said you listened to it first. Two of them trying to listen to a Nirvana

song is great. When this song is played every hour on this station for 30 years. Listen to this because they don't even know what the hell they heard. I'm not even convinced they listened to Nirvana. On YouTube or something? I played it for you. You said you listened to it first. Yeah, I did listen. What do you think their biggest

hit, out of curiosity, what do you think their biggest hit is? I mean, I don't know the name of the song, but I recognize the tune. I recognize the name. I'm sure Kurt would love it being called a tune. He probably would like that. The tune. He's killing himself again right now.

After hearing this conversation. I recognize the name if you said it. The thing about... Smells Like Teen Spirit? What? No, it wasn't Smells Like Teen Spirit. What was their biggest hit? That's their biggest hit. No, because I looked it up online. No.

I know. I have the shirt. The guys who are in the show. To be fair. Didn't he realize you work at K-Rock, by the way? To be fair, he has one Nirvana shirt. I have none, so he has more Nirvana shirts than I do. That's true.

No, because I looked it up online before I played it for your mom. It's really long. He starts yelling all these things. You can't understand any of this. No. I mean, I don't think you're talking about Rape Me. No. they were sure it wasn't that

yelling in the mid it's probably who we are now so once again I say smells like I know it's the song it is but they don't know something about girls something there's a line that says mosquito libido there you go that in every song that smells

like teen spirit oh that's what it is yes that's it that's not it that's it okay wait a minute let's go back though to the fact that he surprised her with it. Is this a is he just wearing the shirt and that's it and he's playing the song for her?

What is the reason for all this? The fact he thought that she was into that band is wild because there's no chance either of them. Because she doesn't like music either? She likes musicals? She likes like Beach Boys or something. Yeah, she likes like musicals like she'll play the soundtrack to Cats or some crap like that. I don't know

it's all junk. But the two of them don't I mean I remember vivid conversations of me listening to Nirvana in my room in high school and them yelling at me and saying, turn this trash off. I mean, listen, I had to confront them because it's really interesting

how lives have flip-flopped. Great. Glad we solved this. And so you thought that mom was a fan of Nirvana so you bought a Nirvana shirt? I didn't think she liked it. I just thought that it would blow her mind that she saw me in a Nirvana shirt. Maybe he was Donald Duck in it, Allie, like you said.

That's what I'm thinking. Where he just wore the Nirvana shirt, no pants. I mean, when you're in retirement, you get bored quick. Maybe that's what's going on. It blows my mind hearing the story right now. Okay, good. All right.

And are you wearing the shirt, like, regularly now? Is it in the rotation? No, no, it's, it has been retired after one wearing. Do my sisters know about this? Hmm? To Courtney. Oh, I don't think so. I feel like we have to do a wellness check on them,

because I don't know what the fuck. Family intervention. Yeah, what's going on there? We didn't send them a picture. Now, we did not tell them the story. He shared it with you first and only. I mean, I'll be honest. I'm shocked.

I'm shocked. Guy's got no hobbies, no interests. Everything he has is just navy blue. Well, I mean, give him credit, though. He does something that you would have done, which is buy something just for a joke. Just for the reaction. Do you think he'll wear one of my band shirts? Oh, man.

He should start developing a collection. Jake, send him that shirt you posted over the weekend. It's got the woman with nine sets of breasts. Or the one that's just called whore. Yeah, you're such a bad whore. My dad, I know you like wearing rock shirts now. Here's a collection from my friend Jake. You're shocked.

I thought you were shock-proof. I am absolutely shocked. I'm more shocked now than I was when you guys were eating the weed gummies. What? Weed gummies. All right, Kevvy, that's enough. I mean, you guys are reverting to me in high school now. Nirvana shirts and weed gummies, all the things you used to yell at me about.

Yeah, we're just reverting as we get older. I feel like I need to have a conversation with you guys about responsible choices and making good friends. All right. Okay, Kevvie. Nice talking to you. Okay. All right, love you. Love you.

Bye-bye. Man, next thing you know, your dad's going to be talking about turning his wife into a balloon animal. He did say that, actually. Quick listen to one of my dad's favorite bands right now on KRO. and then we will get into your ADD news before we start blowing out some tickets this summer at KROQ for you. Coming up.

All right, we'll do some news right now and then the second this is done, we get you some tickets for KROQ's summer ticket blowout. All the bands you want to see with tickets to see them. It's almost like one of them going out of business sales, although we're still in business for now. For now. Grab your Adderall.

It's time for ADD news. A lot of people spent the weekend escaping the scalding lava-like conditions in Southern California. A ton of people went to the beach, which was the perfect weekend to go, but also not because of the Category 4 hurricane that is currently making its way through the Pacific Ocean.

So that created huge waves, and tons of people needed to be rescued, especially in Venice. But in L.A. County alone, lifeguards made over 1,500 rescues this weekend. So they, of course, shared some videos of these rescues, just, you know, a wayward boogie boarder here and there. But these lifeguards were working overtime

to try and save all these people, and they say if you're trapped in the ocean like that and being carried out, you have to remain parallel to the beach, which gets me confused. Swim parallel. Swim parallel, and then you can try and swim at an angle back to shore. You don't want to swim to the shore?

No, because if you're swimming against a riptide, it's not going to do any good. You have to get out of the riptide first, I think. I thought you were supposed to get into an ocean dumpster, Jake. Isn't that what you do? You get into a dumpster? You can find an ocean dumpster, yes. And then in Newport Beach, you had this giant great white shark jumping out of the water

like 20 feet in the air behind this boogie boarder. Dude, that looks so cool. The video is incredible, but the video is so funny because it was taken by a guy who was filming his brother boogie boarding. These are two grown-ass adult men. Right. Like, the context is so lame. And then the thing that happens in the background is

so cool. Amazing. If only they could edit out the boogie boarder, it would have been such a cool video. He's filming his brother, who actually caught a pretty good wave. Yeah, yeah, no, it was impressive. But then it was almost ruined by this other douche who just, like, walked in front of his shot, and If he had walked a little slower, it would have blocked the entire thing. But it was pretty incredible.

And I don't think that they said the shark was trying to catch a seal. They say they just do that for fun sometimes. That's awesome. Wants to be the influencer like everyone else. I mean, good timing for Shark Week, too, right? I think they time all that. Maybe it's a drone shark. A little update on Jackie the bald eagle.

They said her health is improving, which is bad news for the other lady eagle who's been trying to steal Shadow away while she's gone. But there's even more good news. Jackie and Shadow's eagle habitat has been saved. They perch on 63 acres of undisturbed forest in open space and shoreline. And so for the last, I mean, it's been years now, they have these planned luxury houses that are in development there, and then everyone's trying to fight the luxury housing from being built, and they've gone back and forth in court.

Basically, in order to stop them from creating these homes, they had to buy the land and the land cost $10 million and they kept going, okay, we're like $4 million, we need another, you know, and then at the last minute, the co-founder of OpenAI donated $5.5 million and got them there, so now

they're $10.5 million raised and they're able to buy the land and Jackie and Shadow's habitat has been saved thanks to AI. So everyone who's pissed at AI, you can be thankful that this guy donated. That's like the Blind Charlie of that situation. Whenever we need to come close to a goal, Blind Charlie steps

up. He's there. For us, it's like $5,000. Klein pierces his nipple. He steps up. This guy's like a slightly better version of that. Yeah, and I also kind of felt bad because I hadn't donated yet and I heard about it a lot and I was like, I should donate. And he's like, no! How about some millionaire donates, okay? You can solve this problem with one little check.

You and Omar are two people that spend a lot of your time looking at that stupid Eagle cam. Like, for you, it's entertainment. So for you, you're just contributing to your own enjoyment. Well, maybe he was a crazy bald Eagle cam watcher. Maybe, or he just wanted some positive, you know, AIs. I don't trust this guy, man.

I know he has some sort of like, you know. You don't trust Greg Brockman? Yeah, Brockman, dude. That guy's bad news, man. Anything to do with an AI company? Is it OpenAI? Who's the leader of that? Well, he's the co-founder and president, Greg Brockman.

I know who you're thinking of. But the concern is that, especially as OpenAI has started to hack itself now, that this is the beginning of the end for us humans. Yeah, some sort of ulterior motives. Do you think that they just came to him and they were like, hey, donate to Jackie and Channel. That'll make you likable. Less douchey.

Yeah. It sounds like a question you would ask AI. How do humans like, how would humans like me more? And they're like, make a donation. He's like, great idea. There's an eagle in critical condition. Thank you so much, Chad. Thank you.

And then another rescue at sea. This is a nature-themed ADD News. This guy who was sailing off the coast of Catalina Island has been rescued because he was lost at sea for a month after his mast on his sailboat snapped. He ran out of gas and his phone died, which left him just floating helplessly in the sea. And they found him a month later floating off the coast of Hawaii. So he'd gone from Catalina all the way to the Hawaiian Islands. And he said he was left crying for days.

And he felt like giving up and said he felt like a sitting duck. The waves were just pushing him further and further away. And eventually he reached Hawaii. I mean, thank God he was on the same plane as Hawaii. If he was like way far north or south, he would have just kept drifting forever. I think I should have gotten out and swum parallel. That's the answer. Stupid idiot sat in his boat the whole time, you know?

Just wait for the lifeguard. Too bad, because if you had done that trip the right way, it sounds like a really relaxing way to spend a summer. I took a boat from Catalina to Hawaii. Unplugged. He spent the whole time thinking, today's the day I die. Well, and a month. What has he eaten? Right, at that point.

Yeah, you start eating yourself, I think. They're like, I was left crying. I'm like, what were you left eating? I want to know about all the crazy stuff you had to do out there. We give you the gift of tickets because K-Rock's summer ticket blowout officially begins in moments. And I know you're wondering who you're going to see. And here's a clue. Foo Fighters!

Foo Fighters!
