Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 3- Gen Wars, LADWP Bills and MORE

Episode Date: October 8, 2026

We'll get into an episode of Klein Alley's show in just a moment. But in the meantime, let's tell you about our absolute favorite place on the planet. Yep, that would be San Bernardino International Airport, where you can go through the airport process without waiting in long lines and overpaying for parking. Quick connections to the Bay Area and the world plus ski and snowboard in Provo from San Bernardino all winter long. Every other airport, you're going to be in long TSA lines. You're going to be miserable. You're going to say, oh, I've got to get there two, three hours before my flight, not at San Bernardino International Airport.

And now we send you on a direct flight into our podcast, which starts right now. County, oh, this is the world famous. All right, let's get you to see some Fontaine's DC. Guaranteed tickets at an upcoming show that will be happening at the Kia Forum in exactly almost one year, October 15th of 2027. You will forget you've won those tickets, so it's like winning all over again. You'll win now, get excited, then you'll remember a month or two before that show. Oh, my God, I have tickets to that. I totally forgot.

So that's a double win. And maybe it's a triple win because we could call you back on Monday and tell you to pack your bags. you'll be seeing Fontaine's D.C. at a castle just north of Dublin in Ireland, a place that I was almost going to. It's a great story when you tell someone you almost traveled. You know, it's annoying is I planned a lot of this. I got invited to a wedding at a castle in Dublin. Maybe the same castle.

You should check. And we were looking into it. It started getting real annoying. It's not easy to get the... Well, yeah, getting there is the annoying part, but then you're in Ireland. Getting there is annoying and getting back as annoying. It's the same. reason that I don't go to as many Dodgers games as I wish I went to. I like when I'm there.

I just hate the going there and coming home stuff. Yeah. Well, last time I went to a Dodger game, it took us two hours to get there and get in, and then the game feel like it feels like it took two hours. Right. Because if they changed the pitching clock, I'm like, oh, these games are so much shorter. I was doing the math, and it was going to take me a day to get there. It's going to get back. Probably taking a day to recover from getting back. A day to recover. I'm there, and I'm there for two. It's not worth it at some point. I can always talk myself out of stuff. You can always think of a reason not to do something. So I'm not going, but you get to go, and that's cool, and we hope you win, and it all starts with Call It 20 right now.

It sounds so exciting. Hey, for you, I'm sure it'll be great. And that's the other thing. You don't have the thing about winning this stuff on KROC. You don't have to do any of the plan or coordinating. We just tell you, you won. I don't have a choice. You're going.

Give us your passport number, and we put that in the thing, and boom, here's when you go to the airport. We say good morning to Crystal. Hi, Crystal. Oh, my gosh. No way. I'm so. Oh, my gosh. Hi.

Hi. Hi. All right, let's take a moment. Let this soak in. What has just happened for you? You have won yourself from tickets to go see Fontaine's, D.C. at the Kia Forum. Congratulations.

And if we call you back on Monday, you'll be packing the bags and taking the trip that I almost took. Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much. I just got a flat tire, so this is making my day so much better. That sucks. Yeah, how'd you pop it? Pot hole, heat. I was just driving on the freeway.

The road suck in L.A., so this is just so exciting. It's just so much. Hey, you know what? That's an interesting way about life, right? Sometimes you get a flat tire and sometimes you win tickets to go see Fontaine's D.C. Maybe had you not had the flat tire, you wouldn't be listening now. And it's always interesting the way things work out. Had you gotten to work on time because your tires held up, you'd be doing something else right now instead of spending the time on the phone with us. And now you're a winner. Hold on one second. Crystal, congratulations.

Very happy for her. That's how life goes, Allie. I was thinking about that yesterday as I dropped my phone and it hit the toilet seat and almost went in the toilet. And it had a moment where it looked like it was one of those fuel gold doinks where it kind of like started to go in. And I was like, oh, man, it's going right in the toilet. And then it did this weird kind of counterclockwise spin and fell on the floor instead. And I was just thinking it was almost like one of those moments like a beautiful analogy for life where everything in life is so close to being. Being terrible?

What is in the toilet? Tards. A bunch of them. A lot of turds almost. It was so bad. Well, I'm just saying if it was an empty toilet, like you were just, you know, gunny use it or whatever. Yeah, I would just take it out and move on my life. It was a post-turred toilet.

And you weren't, were you taking a picture of it? No, I was not taking a picture of it. Yeah, what were you doing? I stood up, I stood up. I stood up to wipe. I stood up to white. And then I knocked my, I put my phone down. I was on my phone and I put it down.

And then when I turned, it, I did a move where I kind of turned and hit it. And it's just, oh, here it goes. Slow motion hits the seat, bounce. Doink, doink. I go, oh, it's going in. And then it just fell out. And I go, that's such a, it's like life, man. Life is, and it made me happy.

It's weird. Nothing good happened for me. But you were thankful because things almost could have been terrible. Almost could have been so much worse. And it wasn't. And this girl got a flat tire. In my case, it would have just stayed that way. But in other cases, it turns out good in the end.

So, thanks for letting us be there for the good part of life as well. Find Alley Show on K-Rock. More after this. There's so many comments coming through on the text line about people saying that I can't believe Klein stands to wipe. I didn't stand too white. I had already stood to put pants back on. But I should have prioritized the flush, and I didn't.

But regardless, it doesn't matter because we have more important things to get to right now. Believe it or not, there's more important. We can't spend another 10 minutes on this. We could if we needed to, but we can't because there is a man out there fighting the good fight, and I would say there are a few things that bother me more. Paying for gas sucks. But I think the thing that I hate more than anything is when the utility bill arrives in the mail, especially this time of year because you're paying for all of the things you did to try to stay alive during the summer.

Now I get an email instead of a physical piece of mail, but even clicking on it, I'm like, close my eyes, then I open it and I go, no! I do the same. I open it slowly. I feel how heavy it feels. I open it slowly. And it seems like it does not matter what efforts were made in my house at all. And then they give you those little graphs where it's like... The graphs that normal people are here and you're up here and I said, that's impossible. August goes, yeah, and it just makes no sense. And there is a man that is now attempting to be a hero for us all, because let's be honest, the prices of utilities, especially here, have gotten out of F-in-control. This man's gone rather viral this week.

His name is Michael Reed, and he had a bill that arrived for, listen to this, $3,300, $3,322. It was L-A-D-W-P bill. And this is out of the norm for him. It's not like he has some mansion where he's normally getting thousands of dollars. Not only that, he claims that he was responsible, kept the thermostat at 74, regardless of how hot it could have been.

This isn't a guy that wanted to crank it down and live life in the 60s, which would have been nice. He kept it at 74, just really it's like the minimum bearable living situation when you're in the valley and it's hot. It's a San Fernando Valley guy. And he is now calling for a complete over, basically overhaul investigation into how L-A-DWP is even coming up with these numbers, because it feels like they're making them up at this point,

and we're all too dumb to understand how it works anyway, so we're just like, I guess we owe them more money. Well, and they set the prices right of how many cents per kilowatt or whatever the crap, and nobody understands kilowatts. So you're just like, oh, okay, I guess I owe this much. But I also think that with all the lawsuits that have happened as a result of the fires, all of that just leads these electric companies to charge us, the hell they want so they can make up for the billions of dollars they owe L.A.

His video has been viewed over a million times. This is some of it that we'll have mom with us. People of Los Angeles, explain this to me. Am I powering the entire crypto mining grid of the San Fernando Valley? Or did LADWP just decide that I pay my mortgage twice this month? It's gotten to that point. It really is. Every little fee on there seems astronomical. Oh, they make up the fees.

I mean, I opened up my September bill, that the usual end of summer hit is going to be bad. But tell me why my total is 3,300. 3,300 plus, guys. Start swearing in this, so I can't play all of it on the radio. We can put the link to it, though, so you can watch it on our Instagram at Klein Alley show. And now he's fighting for the people. First of all, welcome to K Rock, San Fernando Valley, future hero.

Let's go ahead and talk about what's going on. What have you learned so far? Welcome. Hey, Kevin and Alley. Thanks for having me on. What's going on? Oh, not much. Just trying to, you know, figure out this bill. I still don't understand it myself. And what is your normal bill? Like in the summer months, like you said, we can all expect it to be bad. But what is your bad for your place where you live? I mean, I've lived here since 2019. And the first summer, I think my bill was like $1,800. And that kind of floored me. And it's just something that just keeps getting higher and higher.

The Valley is. I mean, even that is insane. It is, it has gotten crazy. That $1,800, I've seen that before. What? For your house? And I go, it's two months. I go, well, it's two months. So I go, you got to do the math on that.

It's a two month bill, though. But still, that is a, you're still insane. We're talking about a two-month bill you got, right? Yeah, it's a bi-annual, or a bi-monthly bill. I still understand why they do it that way either. Does they really want to stick it to you and make it hurt even more? And they want to confuse you. So you're now looking in, you started a change on org petition, and I think that this is

something that most people that are listening to, I don't think anyone has ever opened up their bill and said, oh, that's surprisingly low this month. Oh, look at that. No one has said that. Take my money. What is, in your investigation since you started, because this is not what you do professionally,

but you're looking into this now on behalf of the people, what have you found? Is there anything so far that you've been like, this seems not right? I mean, just my basic research online, just in the past three years, it seems as if the cost of electricity alone, according to just like a Google search, LADWP has increased their rates 30%.

And it's like I was calculating this today, Kevin. I've paid LADWP more this year for utilities than I have in property taxes. Wow. And what has you discovered some kind of a heat tax or that there's all this extra stuff that's being built into these bills now? Well, yeah. The tier system is like super confusing like you guys were saying. And it just, there's like a huge lack of transparency.

And I think that's super frustrating because when people, call the LADWP, they don't really get an answer. I don't think they know it either. Aren't they having record profits too? Isn't that the other thing? Like, aren't their profits through the roof? I don't know exactly what their profits are, but they seem like they've got to be high. But just looking at electricity alone, they, on my bill, if you look at your bill, they charge

you tax on electricity. I mean, we could start there by just removing tax on power. That would help people a lot. And then you also claim that there's basically another hidden car payment in the bill as well, because there's the sewer fee, which is another one of those annoying fees, and your sewer fee was like north of $300 as well. Yeah, sewer and sanitation was $450,

so they're charging me to flush the toilet, Kevin. This is the part that's crazy because obviously we do pay a ton of taxes. Sales tax just went up in L.A. as well now. We're north of 10%, which is super annoying too. And I know it doesn't seem like much if you're making a small purchase, but if you're making a bigger purchase, that adds up big time. the idea that utilities are so much more expensive here than I think anywhere else as well, it is crazy that every time you flush the toilet now, you're getting technically paid.

But what is the solution, Mike? Because I see that you have this change.org petition, you know, and it has, you know, over 10,000 signatures already. But what is this going to do, launch an investigation and potentially what, like a price cap? Like, what are you hoping for? Yeah, I mean, I would like L.A. City Control. or Kenneth Mahita to, you know, perform an independent forensic audit of LADWP and then potentially look at the tier system and, like, maybe try and lower the amount of, you know, money they're

charging people in tier three because that's where everybody's ending up in the summer because they're running their ACs. Yeah, is anyone not in tier? I'm curious. I'm being really serious because I've seen the graph a million times. I've gotten the graph. Doesn't matter where I live. I've lived here for now over 20 years in different houses.

different apartments. I have never not been in the... Tier three. Tier three. I don't even know what you would have to do. I feel like there's Amish people that couldn't stay in Tier 1. How do you stay in Tier 1? Then you have people like Vanessa and Ginger Justin who say that they put on their AC as little as possible just to get through the summer because... But what tier are they in? Vanessa, what tier? But I wonder what tier. Honestly, I think I'm in tier two and I don't know what that means. She probably never puts on her AC and she's Tier 2. Yeah, and my house is a shoebox. Yeah, it's a studio. Even she's in tier two.

And that's one little person living by herself. Right. Not hardly using any utilities. And she's tier two. So what is tier one? Just a bathroom being air conditioned? I don't even know how you could be in tier one. I honestly don't even know.

Like, Jake, you're in a shack. I know you don't pay your utilities as part of your rent. But you have any idea what tier you're in? You've got to be in tier three because you take full advantage. You have AC blasting all day. It's going on right now. Jake can be Tier 5. I don't know.

I let my shower on. Jake could be a tier 5 guy. I think you're fighting the good fight. And I do think once this gets lost. looked into, we will realize that we are all being ripped off in a major way. I think we're being ripped off in everything, with electricity, with gas, with insurance, all of it, right? And if you actually look into it, you know, it's just about forcing people to investigate this stuff. And they don't want to do anything because it requires a lot of paperwork.

And it, of course, requires all the companies to finally stop overcharging everybody. Mike, I know you have kids as well. How often are you, are they the type that, like, leave the lights on, you're constantly going around trying to shut off lights and yell at them about the value of electricity? Yeah, I know I'm getting old, Kevin, because I'm that I'm that dad that's going around the house turn off lights. So that's definitely a problem over here too. But apparently that doesn't even do anything anymore because that was like based on the old old school way that lights used to work. And that's apparently like you could, I don't know, someone had said to me you can leave your lights on 24 hours a day. That's going to change your bill like dollars or pennies or something.

But it's the AC. It's crushing us. The water is crushing us. And how can you survive? You live in the valley. They should change the tier system, at least if you live in the valley. If you live by the beach, maybe keep it as it is. But if you live in the valley, it gets painfully hot.

Right. Exactly. Well, and then if you make any updates because they're like, oh, you just have an old AC. So now you just pay thousands of dollars for a new AC and you'll save money. And you're like, but that's spending more money. So you feel like you can't win. Complete oversight. This man is fighting the good fight.

So we wanted to give you a platform to get that out there. If everyone feels like you're getting completely ripped off and robbed every time you open your utility bill, sign the change. org petition. We'll put it up on our Instagram, McLean Alley Show. And update us. Please, Micah, as you make some progress here, I want you to know that we always, always stand for good causes. Allie went to a town council meeting because she didn't like the fact

that gas stations were trying to charge for air for your tires. Air is free. Air is free, she said. She went and spoke to the... Yeah, and there's all these signs on the side of the air machines saying it's a dollar or it's $2 for five minutes. It's not. It's zero dollars for all the minutes you want. So we will fight with you. We stand beside you. Thank you, guys. I am currently in a battle right now about an ice cream cake situation that's happening at a grocery store where they're keeping regular cakes in the freezer with a title that says ice cream cakes. We cut into it, guess what? No ice cream. That's not a change dot or petition yet, but it could be. But I'm just saying we are, you're with your people now. I'll sign your petition. Great. All right, great. 949 said I did no AC

last month or this week and I haven't left tier one yet. They're still in tier one. They're still in tier one. They're still in tier one. They're going to die a heat stroke in there. They're going to die as a tier one or in heat stroke. Right. And that's the point Michael was making his video. which I'm just setting it at a normal temperature so we all don't die. Yeah. What about people in like Nevada and in Palm Springs? Like I was talking to a guy, the cameraman who came over here and did an interview yesterday, and he said he lived in Nevada in Vegas, and his bill was never over $300.

How is that possible? Right. Right. It's a Hoover Dam somehow. I don't know how, but somehow that's involved in it. It's that damn, damn. So thanks for the update, and hopefully we get to the bottom of this. And please, if you can figure out how to explain it, explain it, because it does feel like we're getting ripped off every goddamn month. Thank you so much for having me, guys.

I really appreciate it. Take a break. K. Rock, finally, show. Getting our contestants set for Generation Wars, we'd like to be a part of it. The number to join us is 8005-20167. Gen Z. Call now. We've got your boomer, ready to go,

Millennial locked in, and Gen X. We are looking for you, Gen Z to call and play and win. Once again, 800, 5201067. We'll get to Gen Wars in a moment. Mark, quickly, you're on K-Rock. You actually can't explain why we are not, none of us are in Tier 1 on the utility bill? Well, if you give me an hour or two, I can.

But at a high level, how about in one minute? How about in 30 seconds? 30 seconds. It's because we live in California. When things burn down and cost a hell of a lot to replace all the power lines, you aren't getting charged for the liability that cut the utility rate, the shareholders cover that. But you're having so much having to be rebuilt to replace stuff that was burned down,

plus to try to prevent it, it is just, that's the big thing that's been causing the, at least the Edison rates to increase. That in California, you've got all sorts of fun programmed that are, they just sort of pancake and add lots of little things for, you know, let's support this and support that and all that. And it just pancakes and adds a whole heck of a lot. I love pancakes. All right.

Well, I like everybody you said about pancakes. So I'm okay to pay more money if there's pancakes involved. So thank you for explaining that. A lot of people are commenting about the taxes and how that makes that a lot of ours. The whole thing is broken. And hopefully we fix it because it is becoming less and less affordable to live. And we're getting banged out in every possible way. So it's not just at the park.

We want to live in California. We want to. You want to. You rent the weather. Okay. At some point. Yeah, well, the weather sucks now too. Yeah, it's too hot.

So what are we going to do now? It's about to rain. And we got the El Niño to deal with for a while. So then what are we renting? We love it here. Let's get the Generation Wars. Here we go. Generation War.

Are we bus in or what? You kids and your TikToks. Gen Zia's crazy. All right, bragging rights for you and your generation. A lot of people claim they listen to Generation Wars. Gen Wars, for short, and they will listen and yell at their radio as it happens. And they get really angry when the contestant that is representing their generation does not perform. under pressure. Well, people really do feel like whoever we're talking to in this edition

of Generation Wars is representing their generation. So if they fail, you're failing. Start with our Gen Zier from 2001. He's a big fan of Fontaine's D.C. We're listening to the right station for that. And he's got a very Gen Z male name, which is Milan. Good morning, Milan, and welcome to K-Rock Generation Wars. Hi. Good morning, good morning. Thank you for having me. If you know the answer to the question, you must lock in by saying Gen Z, wait for us to call on you, and then you have a chance to answer. You can steal questions from other generations as well, but hopefully you at least get the ones that would be Gen Z specific. We'd say hi now to our millennial, born in 1989, raised on the 90s Nickelodeon shows, some of the finest shows in the history of television.

Double dare. Minus what was happening apparently behind the scenes there, but. All those kids were being sexually assaulted. How to hi to Amanda. Amanda. Good morning Amanda, millennial. How goes it? Good morning. It goes great. I'm so excited to be here. We're thrilled to have you here. And for all the millennials listening, you are their hero if you win. But if you lose, boy, they'll hate you forever.

Okay, I accept this responsibility. Suzanne is our Gen Zier, born in, excuse me, Gen X, born in 1978. She is really into the real world on MTV. She's probably a big fan of Puck from Real World San Francisco. Am I right? Suzanne? I did like Puck. Yes, this was my second time playing Generation Awards. Did you win the first time or no? I did. I got to go to the Cagger. Oh, wow.

Oh, wow. Don't blow it this time. We say now good morning to our boomer, born in 1963. He spends a lot of time hanging out with his grandkids. And his name is Andy. Hello, Andy. Hey, good morning. Good morning.

Here we go. Question number one. Hands on your buzzers. Generation Wars. What is the name of the assistant shaped like a paperclip with eyeballs that would help you? Millennial. Yes, Millennial. Clippy.

Good old Clippy. He was so useless, wasn't he? Always tried to help out, but always did not have the answers. You always just pop up unannounced, too. I'm like, I don't need help with what I'm trying to do here. He's like, hey. Question number or two. What is one thing you could do if you had silly putty?

Millennial? Bumer. Millennial? Stretch it. You could copy a newspaper. Yes. If you put the silly putty on the newspaper, you could get the frame. Truly pointless.

Let's make more copies of this. I'd love to take away my kids' iPads and explain to them what people used to do a silly putty. But I thought that was so cool. He used to be able to take that newspaper there and put it right here. And it was only newspaper. I don't know why. Because they had to pull out the ink or something. It was really stupid.

That is correct, though. But a question number three. It's Generation Morse. According to this popular. soap jingle, you're not fully clean unless you're what? Is Jan X? Go ahead. Is it dial clean? No.

You're not fully clean unless you're... Millennial? Yes, millennial. Irish Spring? No. We're just guessing soaps here. You're not fully clean unless you are zest. Fully clean. Zestfully clean. Good old zest soap. Is that still exist anymore? Yeah, remember that woman would undo her towel. Oh, really? Yeah, she would take her towel off. You could only see

from the back so you couldn't see her naked, but she would open up her towel and the towel would say zest and I was like, ooh, what's on the other side? Oh man, that's when Ali turned gay. We go to your next question. You're not fully gay, Ali, unless you're zestfully gay. That's what they used to say. Zest rhymes with breast.

What two ingredients were famously combined to create the iconic mid-century California dip served with potato chips? Oh, Jen X. Gen X? Sour cream and ramshed? Oh, close, but that is

not acceptable. I think Gen Z also chimed in. Gen Z? Gen Z. Artichoke and mayonnaise. No, that is a very gen Z answer. You go to Trader Joe's, don't you? Yeah. Anyone want to steal this? This is a Boomer question. I'm surprised Boomer doesn't know. This is just millennial. Onion dip?

I need to... Sour cream and onion dip? I mean, the correct answer I was looking for is the Lipped-in Onion Soup Mix and sour cream. My mom used the... That was like the boomers thought that they created. That was like discovering oil was that combination. They loved it.

I don't know if we can give anyone the point on that. We move on to this next question in Generation Wars. What would happen if you were at a key party? Gen Z. Yes, Jen Z. Yes, Jen. For what reason? She to sleep with someone else's partner.

That is correct. Gen Z. Wow. Is that back? I love it. I'm on it. You're on it. The key party's back, baby. I guess people would get together. It was bigger in the, I think, 70s, 80s. Where you just put your house key in a bowl, right?

Couples would all get together. You put your house key in a bowl. Someone would pull out the house key, and then that was the person of the relation. They would just go home and bang someone else's wife. That's when all the hot couples arrive, if you remember what key they had. Oh, yeah, remember the key. Remember it's divot, divot, sweet divot, divit, that's the one. All right, moving on. It's Generation Wars right now. Allie, what's the score currently? Well, Millennials in the league, but two points. Gen Z's got one. Gen X and Boomer

still not on the board. Which iconic green armless, hostile mob in Minecraft silently sneaks up behind you and emits a terrifying sissing or hissing sound before exploding? Gen Z. Yes, Gen Z.

Creeper. That is correct. Creeper. Good job. All right, millennial and Gen Z now tied. So your next question is Generation Wars. This early search engine was a polite mustache British butler who would help answer all of your questions. Oh, Ken X.

Bumer. Oh, God. Millennial and Gen X were like at the exact same time. I think it was like a millennial by a pub. Yeah, millennial by a pub. No. Ask Jeeves. Is right.

He's still there. Jeeves is still there? I think so. If something is suss, what is it? Millennial. Millennial, I can't. Millennial, go ahead. It's suspect. It's shady. Shady. Shady, suspect, suspicious. That is correct. Point goes in the category of millennial alley. Where are we at with three questions left? Now Millennials in a commanding lead with four points. Gen Z has two points. And if you were curious, Jeeves himself does not exist. It's just ask.com.

We go now to this question that should be sweet spot for Gen X or Boomer. But in the original Pac-Man, what is the name of the red ghost who relentlessly chases? Pac-Man across the maze. Oh, come on. Wow. Don't know. What? Boomer, nothing. Nobody has a guess?

Gen Z. Gen Z. Ghosty. I don't know. It's a guess. Get away ghosty. Ghosty. No, wrong.

The correct answer is... Isn't it Blinky? Blinky is the answer. I only knew that one. No one gets the point. I can't name any of the other ones, though. They all had names. Which media player that Windows famously boasted

when you started up, said it would really kicks or whips the llama's ass. Oh. It would say this before you'd play it. It really whips the llama's ass. Chen Z. Yes, Chen Z. Walkman.

No. I actually had this player on my computer. Really? I'm not sure what this is. It really whips the llama's ass. Winamp. Oh, Winamp. You remember Winamp? Yes.

I was there during the days of like lime wire, Winamp. You had some options there. I think I was a limwire person. Downloading illegal music and porn. Now it's so easy. And we go to this next question, Ellie. And once again, I don't know.

Is Millennial run away with this one? Yeah, I think so, but let's continue. Here we go. Generation Wars. When building your first personal website in the late 90s, you likely hosted it on what early web hosting service which organized into themes around neighborhoods It's another one of these things

It was a big thing for a while And I haven't heard about years No one knows this one. Geo Cities. Oh my God. Geo Cities. What a throwback. Final question.

These are harder today, man. They're not harder. They're equal level of hard every day. And it all comes down to this. Which rapper broke through with the viral hit, Munch Feeling You, and quickly became a prominent icon on the Y2K aesthetic internet meme culture. Gen Z.

The Padres Coke. Nothing makes me happier than when the Padres lose. It is the only team that I have a personal grudge against in all professional sports. Oh, really? I thought you also hated the Cowboys. Oh, there's other teams I don't like, and I have never liked as teams, but I don't have any personal reason to dislike them,

other than the fact I just dislike them because, you know, they're rivals of the teams I like. This one's more personal to you. The Padres, even though they're under new ownership now, and maybe I shouldn't carry the grudge over, are the only team that has actively tried to, and successfully gotten us fired. I mean, they reached out and said...

The organization, the Padres organization, the Padres organization said we refused to be broadcast on the same radio station as that... Actually, they didn't even name you, Ali. that guy Klein and we will not and they fired me and they chose the So I could have kept my job? You probably could have kept your job but I said we were Someone could have told me that said we were a package deal baby

No! We're willing to separate! They said let's call Ali I said you don't need to I speak for Ali She's out with me we're walking together The Padres got me fired many years ago Left me jobless and as a result I wish you nothing but the worst and boy you proved it again last night But it's funny because that's when they started doing really well

Yeah, well, not now, you losers. The Padres choke again, crying. I know, you feel me? I do. Padres are ass. Always, you know who didn't choke? Andy Pares. Tique Hernandez and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Let's go. Dodgers. Let's go. Congratulations. Excited. Champagne already flying, flowing. Are they wearing the stupid goggles? Oh, you know it.

I hate that. We all do. Don't be pussies and put a bunch of goggles on and then put plastic. across the whole locker room. Is that for the corks? It's because they've got to protect their vision. Then just don't do it. Jesus, man.

Are you kidding me? A lot of corks in there. I guess so. Do you know how many the great baseball players went out? Like how many of them died before they were like, Oh no, no, that could help. One eye, Willie, all these guys. But don't stop the celebration.

One eye Willie Mays. They all went out with going on. Hold on. I got to put my goggles on. Put the goggles on and celebrate. That's a Lou Gary guy's disease. That's right. That's exactly.

It all start with a cork, guys. A lot of people don't know that. This is baseball history right now. Congratulations. Doyers, and here is your news. Grab your adderol. It's time for ADD News. Well, you can't always pick your neighbors.

Sometimes you get someone cool, and sometimes you get a world-famous trash hoarder. And this guy is the most famous trash hoarder, at least in Southern California, because his house has gotten so bad. It was declared a public health emergency, and it's been cleaned out by the city twice now. If you haven't heard of the famous,

trash house. It's in the Fairfax District, not far from the K-Rock Studios. This guy's been hoarding trash in and around his house for years. It was cleared out once in 2014 and again in 2024, but neighbors are already complaining that it is brimming with trash again. Last time they cleaned it out, they collected seven tons of trash. And they also told him he needed to maintain the premises in a clean and sanitary condition. They also billed him for the cleanup, even though who knows if he can pay the bill or not, but two years is a pretty incredible time frame to re-trashify that house.

If you have that mentality, if you ever watched an episode of hoarders, a lot of those hoarders, once they clean everything up, get all the carcasses out, they just start fresh again. Because for them, it's more of a mental thing. They don't have the ability to be like, that's trash, put it in the trash can.

They just throw everything on the floor. And I also think this guy is the guy who thinks he's cleaning the neighborhood out, so he'll go to like the trash, like neighborhood's trash and put it in his yard. What a nice guy. His neighbors say that he is a nice guy.

His name's Ray. And he's in his 70s now. And I think, you know, once you've been doing this for decades, that's just kind of your thing. Changing is probably pretty difficult. We should head over there and put a Klein Alley show, Please Don't Rob Me Sign in front of his trash house. Please Don't Clean Me Sign. They don't have those, sadly. But I do feel like the media, there's a lot of, it's getting picked.

There's a lot of cameras there. I drove by yesterday. They were setting up live shots outside the trash house. I know, and then on either side is like a really nice house with like, you know, pavers. And like it's obviously this nice built up house that, you know, there's money being spent. And then they're next to this complete disaster trash house. But also, why don't we kind of embrace it? LA doesn't have that many landmarks.

We don't. We don't. I mean, one of the LA trash house? I would go buy that in a tour bus. It's not much different, better or worse than the tar pits that we promote as a tourist attraction. We've got a pit of tar. So might as well just go a few blocks to the left. and then see the trash house.

That's the solution. Take all the trash, put it at the tarpid. Done and done. I mean, boils it up. That thing's Boresville. They were like, they were going to close it for two years for renovations.

I'm like, okay, go ahead. No one would have noticed. I know the one time we talked bad about the tarpits. We got a very angry person who works there that was like. A tarpet enthusiast. Yeah, and they were really unhappy. And listen,

I've killed a lot of time there. I brought my kids there a bunch over the years. The idea of it is cool, right? It's just funny that you tell people that are in L.A. for a little bit. You go, like, we've got a giant pit of tar. You want to come look at that? There's an elephant. An elephant? Well, it's not a real elephant. It's not a real. That was the thing I discovered. I was like, none of this is real.

You just made all these. It's like a mini golf course. The tar is real, but the whole place smells like a jiffy room. I know there, we're not one to cover celebrity gossip on the show, but I know at least one person that will care about this. And that's Panty House Greg. Shia LeBuff is getting divorced. Earlier this year, he was arrested in New Orleans for being a hot mess during Mardi Gras. He was court ordered to go to rehab, I believe. but it doesn't seem to be going well because his wife just filed for divorce and wants custody of their four-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, I know men's D's are hanging a little lower this morning because things between Sidney Sweeney and Scooter Braun seem to be progressing.

They've been meeting with rabbis, which usually means that there's talk about marriage and kids. This would involve her converting, and those boobs have the power to cure anti-Semitism if you think about it. I think all of the negative feelings in the world could all be solved by one Sydney-Sweeney. You think about all the Christmas commercials that everyone obsesses over, right? They're so popular. Sydney-Sweeney would just have to do one Hanukkah commercial. Yeah. Naked on a basketball hoop.

That's the key. Christmas is done. She has to redo that sportsbook commercial. And then as Klein mentioned, the Dodgers, congratulations. They're moving on to the next phase of the playoffs. They are NLDS champions. Now, next is the NLCS against the Bruins. And it's been interesting, sort of, to see the tech changes that have happened in Major League Baseball this year.

This new AI-powered camera that's been dissecting everything. pitch. The players can now instantly challenge a call just by tapping their hat bringing up the question, are umpires even relevant anymore? And then as we gear up to the NBA season, they're talking about using smart basketballs and wearables on all the players.

The smart basketballs would have Bluetooth sensors inside of them, and then they'd be able to collect data for future use and in real-time officiating decisions, and then they'd all have some kind of a wearable that obviously doesn't affect their gameplay, but how much tracking is too much tracking. Also, it's a matter of time.

before somebody gets in their system and hacks it. You got to hack it, right? You can make the ball wobble off instead of wobble in. I'm sure there's things you can do. Or like, you know, if it's supposed to be like, you know, out of boundaries. You know, if you hack it, no, it was in there. You know what I mean? There's been so much controversy this year in professional sports with the clock, too,

because apparently the clock we're seeing on TV. This has happened to both college and professional football games, but it shows there's no time left. And then somehow they're like, after looking at the clock, they like roll it back. There's a second left, and it's led to all this controversy. see, and I guess the idea is the more, you know, sensors you put on the cord, on the field, on the balls, you can get, like, legitimate, accurate information.

Like, that ball was out of his hand while there was. But isn't that, that's the thing about sports, like the human error, right? Isn't that part of it? Human error is fun, unless it's the wrong side of the bet. Then you're like, God damn that rough. I will forever hate that guy. I kind of like the prehistoric nature of the NFL where they still just have chains. I love that.

The giant orange thing. Are they still doing that? Yeah. What are just going to put these here? It is a ridiculous looking thing. Technology. Yeah, there's nothing. Those guys walk out with the chains and then they hold up their fingers and they're like,

ooh, he's this close. You're like, that seems weird. We haven't come up with solutions. But it is good for the, Ali, by the way, another advancement in baseball is something you need to get in on. Hey, sweet Disney, guys. I am a huge fan of your gay sports highlight. And generally I've noticed it's football games that y'all do.

I just felt like sharing that in the fifth inning of the Dodger game, Kyle Tucker somehow got a single, and the announcer yelled that Kyle Tucker beat it out. Yeah. And I thought of you guys because he ran the first as far as he could, and somehow it was safe. All right. Love you guys.

Thank you for the update. Allie will get working very hard on her postseason gayest baseball highlights. The thing is, there's just so many games. Too much. Too much. Can't stay awake during them. NFL's one day I can knock it all out. We got a new hour of the show to get into in moments.

Will it be the greatest hour of your life? Perhaps.
