Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - HOUR 3- Klein's Helicopter, LA Magazine Recognition and MORE

Episode Date: August 10, 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. All right, get into a brand new hour of the show right now.

Actually got some, after that roundup of bad news that Alley just reported on a moment ago, we actually have some good news to share with you. Well, good-ish news. We'll get to that coming up in a few moments. Right now, great news for you. If you're the 20th caller, four pack of tickets, thrill capital of the world, and you will be qualified to win that 2027 gold pass. And that is, of course, at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This Gold Pass, Allie, if you're wondering. I am wondering, actually.

Consists of all sorts of perks, including free parking, unlimited visits, no blackout dates. Unlimited visits? Yep. So it's a season pass. Season pass, but no blackouts. I mean, that's the key. Water park admission, bring a friend discount, food and merch discounts, admission to Fright Fest, holiday in the park. Whoa.

Perks in play, and all sorts of other stuff as well. Perks and play. You get perks and play, baby. And that's what it's all about. Scat play. Let's say hi to... That is not part of the promotion. Edit that part out of the air check.

Hey, Aaron in Arcadia, good morning. What's up, client? Sweet divots. Sweet divots to you. Good, sir. You are the 20th caller, which means you're the first person to win these tickets from us this week. And first name to go on this list, if we call you back or email you back, I'm not sure how we're doing this, you win yourself a 2027 Gold Pass to Six Flags, all right?

Great, thank you. You're very welcome. Enjoy the Perks and Play. The Scat Play. He's still there. He's hung up. Yes, I'm here. Okay. Unfortunately, I'm still here.

We've made him sad now. We did get tipped off to something over the weekend that pertains to this show. And I think that we were all a bit surprised. Miffed, I think would be the right word. We're always the last to know. The last to know. And usually when we find out about things unexpectedly, it's not good. This maybe we'll get to it next.

Blink-182 announced earlier this morning new music from Blink-182 in the near future, according to Travis Barker. There's been some press about the show previously, not been great. A lot of stuff about K-Rock is on live support and the morning show is in 33rd place. And a bunch of stuff about us, particularly in how we were the cause of the death of this fine radio station. And then don't you remember also the fluke stage? Yeah. Things started going well. It was because we got Kevin Ryder's seal of approval.

That's right. And it was just a fluke. A fluke. And thank God Kevin Ryder came back. And I do stand by that. Thank God Kevin Ryder did come back for a variety of reasons. Over the weekend, someone tipped us off to this in the Los Angeles magazine. They still make this.

The Best of L.A. issue. You said that this was something you looked forward to every year. Yeah. When I first moved to L.A., I remember specifically not knowing a lot about what was what. and I would always, I wouldn't buy the issues, but I would like look at them when I was in line at a grocery store and I would be like oh cool, that's the best place to get a taco. I'd make a

note of things. That's a good place to get a taco. That's a good bar to go. That's the best happy hour. Measure the success of a magazine by whether you choose to read it while you're waiting to check out. And I've been a fan of this. I call this one of the local iconic publications and the Los Angeles magazine did their annual best

of issue, Portrait of a City. The people, places, shaping LA's food, fashion, culture, and identity. And once you go through all of the many, many best ofs, and that includes the best dumplings and the best creamsicles and the best dinner deals, Allie, for cheapies like you. Oh, really? The best grocery. Wait, what's the best dinner deal? It says here it's tucked into the corner of the original farmer's market.

It's DuPars. Oh. Where you can get a whole dinner, a pie for $4.30. Whoa, cool. So you didn't know that. You could even get a grilled salmon with some sort of tapenade rings for $5.59. What? They call it the best deal in town.

It is the best deal in town. So, anyway, it's got all this best of stuff, best baked potato, best breakfast sandwich, best Armenian restaurant. I mean, the list goes on and on. They've broken down every possible thing. Best pizza, best high-end grocer, best low-end grocer, best hot chocolate, best ice cream. Now, did they do the same food and beverage items every year, or did they just now decide to do the best baked potato? I think that must be every year. I think everyone's competing for best baked potato.

And once you get through all of that, you get through all the important ones, you make your way to an area that is the, I don't know what the hell area we're in, entertainment or something? Well, whatever, I've lost count. But it mentions here, after the best puppet show. Which is what?

Yeah, I want to see a puppet show. Bob Baker and the Marionette Theater. Oh, yeah, okay. Once you get past that, and you get past the best semi-private airline, there's a blurb here, and it declares, and it must be true because it's in a magazine. And we share a page with the best tarot card reader and the best train for a day trip. Oh. I would like to know these. It says here that the best radio show is on weekday mornings, and it is called Big Boy.

Yeah, I agree. And I said, damn it. I thought we had this one. So congratulations to Big Boy. You've done it again. And now back to baked potatoes. And then I go right back. Now, it says here, listen, someone sent this to us.

I thought that it was AI'd or something at first, and then a few other people tagged us in it. But it says, on weekday mornings from 6 to 10, KROQ's Klein Alley Show reminds Angelenos why radio still matters. Host Kevin Klein and Allie Johnson are known for their unscripted style of reverent banter and honest conversations about everyday life, blending unpredictable humor with heartfelt insight to keep you company on your morning commute. Heartfelt insight? Where's that at? That's one of a few inaccuracies here.

I also got our hours wrong. Yeah, the hours. That's one of a few things that are wrong. And the unfiltered morning program is also available to stream on Odyssey, Spotify. It's never available on Odyssey because Odyssey's always crashed. Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Is that in there? It says that there as well.

They got that right. I guess Odyssey. So anyway. Well, that's exciting. But I want to point out. It's cool to see your name in print, I guess. I want to point out two things, because this really doesn't matter much, and I'm not even sure if this was a vote or something. I don't know how we got declared this.

Yeah, who decides the best? I think it was Abovian, because we've given her so much love on the radio, and I think she works now for Los Angeles Magazine, that I feel like Abovian did us a solid, because we like her so much, and we've said, you know, told everyone. Oh, we said open-door policy for Alina Abovian. She can come in whenever she wants. I will say that this is interesting, and this is what really brings us right back down to Earth before we can have even a moment of glory. There was space on this page for one picture. And instead of putting a picture up of us, they decided to put up a picture of the outside of the puppet theater.

So it's like the marquee of the theater? Yeah, right above where it says the best radio show. It would make perfect sense to throw a picture of the show up there. Yeah, just to let everyone know who we are, maybe. And they decided to show the Bob Baker Marionette Theater with the live performance of Choo Choo Review. Now playing. Good choice. So, once again, rather than even put our picture there, they put up a picture of a building.

Yeah. They didn't choo-choo's us. And I guess... Al's building. They did not choo-choo's us. That's right. So, congratulations. To the puppets.

The real winner is the puppet show. And they didn't even do a picture of the puppets. No, it's the building. It's just the building. So... We would have posed. I think they made a wise decision by not including us in the picture. Even if they had AI'd an image of us, that was totally inaccurate.

I still would have loved it. Even if it was us as puppets, I would have loved it. Thank you for anyone and everyone who, once again, I don't know if this was, I have no idea how they decide this. Well, you remember we did talk to Alina Bovian a while back. She wanted to interview us about something. That was a long time ago, but I didn't know what really what it was for. Anyway, for those of you that continue to hate on this show, and I don't blame you. We do a lot of things that are bad at best.

according to at least this year's issue of The Best of Los Angeles. We are, what is it, unfiltered fun? We are something about a reverent banter. Ah, we have a reverent banter. There it is. A reverent banter not included. Never, spectacles that...

We are spectacles? No, that's the puppet show. Oh, cool. They got a much longer article than we do. Well, I'm definitely buying tickets to that puppet show. That sounds cool. Maybe we can collab with them. Yeah.

Since we are equally successful. Finally showing the choo-choo review. So there you have it. This is what it looks like. I'm showing the YouTube people. It's a real magazine. Wow, someone gave that to us? So there you go.

Here, you can see that right there. Wow. It's already got coffee spilled all over it. And that coffee that was spilled on it was Don Francisco. We've got to take a break. We come back in a moment. I had a... Best candy making demonstration.

Okay, there's a lot. I'm just saying there was a lot of things that got in front of best radio show. Do you think they just go through and say, what things do you like? Yeah, maybe. I heard, I had police circling my house over the weekend. And here's some audio, but when we get back, I need some help. Because this was a real thing that happened on Saturday. This is the Los Angeles Police Department.

Everyone inside. So this is the Los Angeles Police Department circling and telling everyone to go inside. We'll get to that story and more after this on KROQ. KROQ, I'm your client, Alicia. Thank you for the interaction. Thank you for the phone calls. Thank you for the text messages. 800-520-1067.

Another chance in about 30 minutes for you to get yourself into Six Flags. And we have tickets for you to go up to Big Bear and say your goodbyes to Jackie the Eagle, who is fighting for her life right now. Also, we send you up there for the MX Grand Prix. This message waiting for us on the GOAT line. Hey, what up, guys? We do it thanks to you guys in Don Francisco. I got my first pumpkin spice latte this season.

Thank you. Sweet dude. It sounds like you guys are now laying it on a little thick here. So we got ourselves an official coffee sponsor. He's not getting thick with his PSLs. Let's not make a big deal about it. Allie, what would you do if you were sitting at home relaxing and having a nice at-home night and all of a sudden you started...

Hold on, let me picture that for a moment. Picture that for just a second. Everyone finally, kids are asleep, dog's not barking, and then you hear the sounds of a low-flying chopper that then becomes two choppers and then they are circling aggressively over, which is nothing new. I think the official bird of L.A. is probably the LAPD chopper. Absolutely. I think you get comforted by it weirdly after living here for a while,

but I would also assume if you were you that they were looking, like you look like a criminal who's on the run. Thank you. So I feel like they would be circling around you thinking that you're somebody you're not. When you're hearing the sounds of the choppers, that's one thing, but when you start to see the strong ass, I don't know what type of batteries they're using on that flashlight they have up there, But, man, that thing is powerful because they are able to obviously light up a high-speed chase from up above, but they can go ahead and track pretty much anyone.

And when you start seeing those beams or that light kind of going through your – like hitting through your windows in your living room, you realize they're looking for someone probably in my neighborhood. And that's when most people would stay inside, and that's when I go outside because I want to hear what they're saying because this was the announcement that was coming from the LAPD bird that was circling. so the first part of the announcement i believe they're saying this is the los angeles police department that part i hear pretty clearly and this is where i think the announcement gets important but also this is when their entire system completely they should figure out a way to make those choppers not so loud because they're making an announcement that i think is important and i can't hear any of it this is like what yeah this is like when jake does that street audio and we go we can't hear

any of this stuff this is like when they were doing it perfectly the guy is saying something that clearly is important to the point where he is now saying uh this is the los angeles police department i think he said everyone inside i think that part i heard we're looking for a Klein. No, he didn't say that. We're looking for... We didn't say we're looking for a Klein. This is like decoding an old people's secret.

Now, that part sounded important, but I didn't hear any of it. It sounded like there was feedback. How is that possible? Are those Jake's Crickets? Those are Jake's Crickets are there as well. Are they Jake's Crickets? Yeah, Jake's Crickets, please go back. I think he's saying everyone go inside.

It sounds like he's holding the mic up to the blade to the chopper instead of to his mouth. But also, why is chopper the only way to relay a message? Can't you get like one police officer with a loudspeaker on land to kind of make this? That's the best way to do it. Obviously not. Nobody can hear it. Right. And there was a couple of different things going on because then I start going, what's happened?

Well, apparently there were some mountain lions that were spotted around this weekend. They got choppers for mountain lions? They had pumas that were out and about too. So I think there's that. Of course, there's always the break-ins happening. That's nothing new. I assume this is police chase and the person got out of the car and started running. Well, there's that as an option as well.

And then there's the person going to get out of the car and run through a neighborhood, in which case they're going to try to run through someone's house or hide out in someone's garage. Right, and if you're outside, then you're strapped. But I would think, like, if you're going to go with the making announcements from the chopper, you have to have a better system. Get a DJ Omar Khan up there to give you some sort of a... Yeah, they should do skywriting. That would take a...

It would be difficult at night. It would take a while. It would take a while. Skywrite. I think you'd be able to understand it, though, better than this. In 2026, they should at least have drones. Drones spell it out. My wife goes, what's happening out there?

Because she's freaking out. And I said, he said. Did you hear? I said, the policeman said everything's fine. And she goes, why would they make an announcement that everything's fine? We're just here. And I said. Everything's fine.

I'm pretty sure that's what he said. Everything's fine. And then they continued circling for another 30 minutes of whatever the hell they were doing, making more announcements. Was everyone on your neighborhood app freaking out? There was a lot of questions as to, but most people were also going, what did you get? And someone was like, I heard them say, everyone go inside. Someone else was like, I heard them say, put your hands up. Someone else said, I think there's a building nearby that caught fire.

So it's just a lot of speculation. Yeah, and that really helps with any anxiety. I mean, does that guy, do you think that guy knows how, that's how his message is coming across? I don't think they can hear him themselves, obviously. Well, they can't, but. I don't think you can hear anything when you're in a helicopter either. No, that's why you gotta wear the headset. The little headset thing.

But you would think, like, to the LAPD, I know we have some people that listen. You probably think this system is working because you're up there making the announcements, yelling through your loudspeaker. But for us on the ground, that's what it sounds like. We have no idea what you're saying. 909 said there was a guy who was barricading himself inside of his house. there was like a shooting situation that could have been who knows maybe he was saying that but you know the other thing about the things things happening in southern california is you don't even know what's going to make the news like helicopters can be circling around there could be an emergency

situation and you will know nothing about it because the news has million other horrible things to report on in this area i also didn't know if the announcement was directed at the general public or at the one person that they were monitoring or the mountain lion or the mountain Hey, get out of here, you. Hey, you. Get out of here. 210 said it sounds like Gay Leno's helicopter Jason report. It does.

It sounds very similar. I mean, in fact, I actually think that if we listen to the Gay Leno Jason report, I think that that's the thing is that Johnny needs louder helicopter sounds because Johnny sounds old, too. If you're single and you plan on going out on a lot of dates, then this Jason report is for you. I'm talking about you, Jake the Nerd. So, in July, you have time to take your girl to the OC Fair, go get some fried food, or you can go see that new movie, The Odyssey.

Maybe they can get Johnny to do these announcements and move on for the LAPD. That'd be great. You have to do the next one from a helicopter. I'd love to go up in a helicopter and do that. That'd be so cool. Johnny, don't puss out because I feel like you don't even know. No, no. Helicopter, I have it in my mind. I want to ride a helicopter, not an airplane. How are you afraid of riding in an airplane and not afraid of a helicopter? I don't know. It's like Disneyland.

Helicopter is way more scary. We'll make that happen for you, Johnny. No, not the one that does flips. I remember you guys tried getting me on that Red Bull stunt helicopter that one time. Yeah? Yeah, not that one. Maybe, I bet Stu Mundell would probably take him up. Stu Mundell, if you're listening, I'd love to go up and do a little news report with you.

That'd be fire. All right, that'll be the next. It might be. It'll be literal fire. Don't be a dick time. Back to School is officially here. We'll accept your open nominees. Give away some tickets to the MX Grand Prix and Big Bear.

Don't be a dick. Back to School. That is next on KROQ. Phones open now at KROQ. The number is 800-520-1067. It's officially back-to-school week for LAUSD. It's back-to-school time of year. It may not be this week, but soon enough.

And we decided it would be a good opportunity to save society by nominating the worst of the worst in this round of Don't Be a Dick back to school. And that could be parents. It could be teachers. It could be kids. Because everyone, there are certain things that make the back-to-school time terrible. Anyone can be responsible. Everyone, anyone, and we will start with our nominees in-house, and then we'll go to your calls and texts at 805-201-067.

Our favorite nominee will get themselves tickets to, listen to this, Big Bear MX Grand Prix presented by O'Neill at Bear Mountain Ski Resort, happening August 19th through the 23rd. Four-day pass, it's just $30 at bbmxgp.com, but you'll win them from us right now if you bring us our greatest nominee in this round of Don't Be a Dick. Don't be a dick. And if you don't mind, Allie, there's a lot of phrases that get thrown around, as people reunite back in the school,

and I hate the people that say, oh, summer really flew by this year, huh? It feels faster every year. Oh, that little... That small talk pleasantry. Yeah, that's the worst. But the thing that I really hate is the person that says,

what did you do this summer, only waiting to tell you what they did over the summer because they had a crazy summer where they're like, oh, we were in Europe for a month, and then we went to the Hamptons, and then we da-da-da, and then you're like,

I went to Costco. And those people, they... They went to Universal Studios and did the lot tour. Yeah, they can't wait to throw, it's like they're waiting to drop the hammer. The summer flexers. They can't wait to summer flex. So they've been, I'm not saying they do all the stuff because they love to drop that hammer, but boy, do they get excited about it.

And if they give you the all, it makes whatever I do, even if I actually did do something, feel like so small in comparison. They always try and downplay it too. Like, ah, you know, not too much. We just went on a five country trip to Europe and got stuck in Italy on the floors. July was the safari month, and then we packed lunches and we volunteered. How about you? You're like, well, I thought about going to Michael's craft store, but we didn't.

I broke my nose in my pool. I got head-butted by my child. Anyway, each had a summer. So the summer flexors, and I understand people do like to say, if they did something fun, I guess they like to brag about it. But it does feel like it's one final shot where you go, man, that summer was so much better than mine. You realize how wasted your summer was. I would like to nominate the first day of school chalkboard photos. Oh, no.

You're going to piss off a lot of people. They love those things. I know, but no one else really cares, guys. And it's the same chalkboard, and then you erase it and put in grade four, and then their teacher. And I like pizza and my friend Steven, and then that's it. You're not going to do that? You're going to eat your words in a week, bitch, because you're going to do the exact. I know you're going to do it.

I won't. All right. I'm not going to do it. The chalkboard photos are done. Or let's get a little more creative with it. Why is it always chalkboard photo? Because that means school. Chalk means school.

So that's why they do it. Sometimes it's a whiteboard. Sometimes it's chalkboard. And then the kid is taking the picture. I guess they're all excited about it, too, maybe. But don't start it. Omar, are you chalkboard photo your kids? My wife does.

I do not do that. But I also think that we put a stop to that maybe two years ago. Yeah. You shut it down eventually. Who put a stop to it? we actually lost the chalkboard so I think that's why don't you buy a new chalkboard every year Klein

and by Omar lost the chalkboard it means Omar broke it over his knee and threw it in the trash we cannot find the stupid chalk I have bought at least three of these stupid chalkboards and every year they're like remember we put it next year we can't find it and eventually when we move again we're going to find nine chalkboards that say when I grow up I want to be a fire truck

but the reality is there's no high school kids holding the chalkboard still I mean if you have a mustache you're too old to hold the chalkboard that says what your favorite food is I mean, let's be honest It's a young kid's game Yeah, it is, I mean, I guess you would be done with that Probably in 7th grade or something like that

No, no, no, you gotta end that thing at 5th grade You think so? What if the kid is like I still want my chalkboard If you're holding up a chalkboard and you can smell BO out of your own pits You're too old for the chalkboard If you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to put the chalkboard away If your hobbies include driving Then you are too old to hold the stupid chalkboard

I'm sorry kids 714 wanted to nominate the people who were in the drop-off line and stop to hug their kids. Michelle? Hey, Michelle. Hey. Hey, what's up? Allie's about to read the, I think you're the same, 714.

But let's talk about the drop-off etiquette people because I think there's a valuable nominee for Don't Be a Dick. What do you got? Dude, I got a high schooler. I drop them off like tuck and roll, man. You can hug them at home, get the kid out of the car, and get out of the line. Like, you know, we got stuff to do.

Yeah, the drop-off line situation, if you have a school that has that sort of thing is it's always terrible. Even if it's run well, it's terrible. But if it's run poorly or there's the, you know, like they're going off to war and it's like, let's big hug stuff. Yeah, but that happens probably more

on the first day of school, right? Or does it happen every time? First day, there's definitely extra chaos. But there's always the people that don't know the etiquette of the drop-off line, which, you know, that's the correct answer. It is a tuck and roll. If you cannot even stop the car to a full stop

and just slow down to a 5, 10 miles an hour. Yeah, there's a few texts on this. The people who like to park as well, they don't do the line. They have to park and take up a parking spot, and usually they park horribly and then screw up the entire flow of traffic. I haven't had the drop-off experience like that yet, so I don't know. Don't be a dick. First day, back to school.

So it could include teachers. It could include parents. Obviously, it could include kids as well. So we can get into your nominees at 800-520-1067. You can call, you can text, and we will give away some tickets to go up to Big Bear for the big MX Grand Prix there for our favorite nominee. 818 wanted to nominate the teacher who actually tries to teach on day one.

That is a great nominee because day one is for what's your name and what... Here's the plan. Right, and what's an adjective that starts with the first letter of your first name and then let's go ahead and put our heads down until class is over. Let's get to know each other kind of a deal. The teacher who's actually trying to begin the lesson plan and assign homework, get out of here. Especially the teacher that makes you feel bad that you didn't bring something you were supposed to bring. Like, all right, you guys have your protractors?

You're like, what? It's day one. Slow your roll. You're lucky I brought myself. Katie on KROQ. It's open nominees for Don't Be a Dick. Back to school. What do you got for us?

Hey, guys. Just want to say thank you for getting me on my drive to work in the morning. I am a teacher. And so my nomination is for the admin that makes all of us teachers do real lame icebreakers the first day back to meetings. Oh, with each other. The teachers have to do icebreakers with each other? Oh, my gosh.

All of us have degrees, master's degrees. Some of us have doctorates. And it's like, put what you did last summer on the Post-it and share with the group. And all of us just want to get in the classroom and just get ready, and they treat us like kindergartners. You've got to shape young minds, but not until you act like a young mind.

So you're going to go ahead and wear your Post-it note on your face and then some other doctor can come up and guess what you are. You know, they just love orientation. They love it. They just love everyone getting to know each other. Well, look, some educator, some administrator went to some education conference and they said, hey, you know what we do at our school. They're like, great, let's bring that back.

And then next thing you know, you've got somebody who went to college for nine years to become a certified teacher who's now got a... I don't care what Mark did for summer. I want to get in my classroom and start my job. Answer like your favorite bird. You're like, what? I'm a goddamn doctorate. Alex on KROQ, nominees for Don't Be a Dick.

what do you got hey um yeah so my nominee is for the parents that will take photos of their kids on the first day of school like holding like that little chalkboard or anything and the kids will have the worst smile possible like they look like they're literally crapping themselves before they even get on the bus but they will be like oh my baby's so beautiful and so ready for school well that's a that's a good point actually on top of the nominee for the people it's the parents that still post the picture where you're like, if your kid's not looking great in this picture, let's just go ahead and not post this one. Do your kid a solid.

Well, and your child needs to have a little say, I think. Yeah. Like, why is a horrible photo being posted of them without their knowledge or consent? Anthony, don't be a dick. We're talking about first day or back to school, don't be a dick nominees. Could be teachers, could be parents, could be kids. What do you got for us?

Yeah, the don't be a dick nominee is the teacher that will give homework on the first first night or the teachers that will get into learning on the very first day well we talked about that the learning but the homework on the first night is a real move because i know a lot of i've had a teacher like this i've had teachers like this and they've said something like let's just go ahead and set the tone early it's going to be uh you know a challenging year

so let's we're back it's back to school everyone knows the first day the last day i mean similar to the teachers that are still trying to teach like on the last the last day and they're going like the bell hasn't rung yet you're like well we're not at the end of my syllabus we're all checked out at this point yeah no one's checked back in which is why as much as i hate the fact that the back to school starts in the middle of the week and then it's like a short couple of days it's because they're trying to ease both the parent the teachers and the kids back into it parents are ready for that drop off monday first thing monday morning but 626 wanted to nominate the parents that are overly emotional about dropping their kids off not even just the

huggers the ones that are crying and talking to the teacher and trying to make sure everything's going to be okay but then they have no problem dropping their kids off at grandma's for the weekend see you later right i didn't think this would be me but look at them look at them look at them all grown up there's great nominees here we have to talk this out we're going to give one of you some tickets as promised so you can go to uh big bear and say goodbye to jackie and more importantly go to the uh the mx grand prix i wish we could get all these calls on but we got to take a quick break because we're back in a moment with your add news and then more tickets for you to head over to Six Flags, so that's all next

on Canada. Grab your Adderall. It's time for ADD News. Yeah, so a lot of people who had Verizon did not have Verizon over the weekend, especially a lot of people in LA. You were trying to make a phone call or send a text only to get that SOS

message, but it was because some a-hole decided to cut the fiber optic cables, so they got that fixed. Is there money in those like there is in copper wire? Or is that just being a dick? I think that's just a dick move. I can't imagine that it's as valuable as copper wire.

And then this also happened with Spectrum, too, where somebody just cut the fiber optic cables. And, you know, remember, fiber optic internet is a great option if the cable is connected. But if it's not, then it really has no value whatsoever. I mean, I'm plugging, unplugging in my place thinking I'm going to get this internet back up and running and blowing on stuff and plugging, unplugging. How long was your internet out? I lost everything. I had no access to it. It was like Amish for most of the weekend.

Oh, it was most of the weekend? The Verizon thing, that crushed me pretty much yesterday all day. I mean, until the middle of the day. I had no ability to text anyone. So what did you do with yourself? Dude, it was terrible. It was just a terrible run. I'm going to go break my nose again.

I talked with my kids for a little bit. Oh, no. And they were like, what's going on here? I'm like, God, it's the worst day of our lives. You can't survive. Let's just hunker down and we'll start eating each other in half an hour. You know what I think? I think that school is about to start

and kids are so bored. I mean, all weekend in my neighborhood it was ding-dong ditching and all that kind of thing. And maybe there's one kid out there who's like, let's cut fiber optic cables. Maybe. Ah, yeah. I mean, what a great prank. And then you're hearing about it on the news going, ha, that's the cable I cut.

That was the blue wire. Why are those wires not more protected? I feel like... I wouldn't even know where to begin, how to find that. No, no. Morrissey almost performed again. That's crazy. I know. A lot of people hitting us up saying they want to pre-order their I Almost Saw Morrissey t-shirts. We've got to make those. Vanessa did leave the note on my desk.

We just haven't made the shirts yet. Yeah, I know this is not necessarily news, but this time he canceled not just one show. He canceled his whole Vegas residency before it even started. Granted, it was only four dates at the win. I think the win even knew they shouldn't commit to anything long-term. But people obviously had tickets, and they had accommodations. They flew out to Vegas. They had their hotels booked and everything.

And then Friday, so they're already there, they get the message, Hello, we regret to inform you that Morrissey, and I'm sure every Morrissey fan's like, no, we regret to inform you, no. And it says, due to unforeseen logistical issues. First of all, they're very foreseen. Everything with Morrissey canceling is foreseen. I think the unforeseen circumstances thing is being way overused and should be thrown out. Well, with Morrissey, it should say, with foreseen circumstances, Morrissey will not be performing. With extreme predictability.

The unforeseen would be he is performing tonight. But with unforeseen circumstances, he'll be on at 8 p.m. That's unforeseen. Taking the stage today. Because the guy, at this point, I almost feel. For a while, I thought he was very high maintenance. He'd cancel shows because he smelled meat. He canceled shows because he was cold.

Now I feel like he knows this is his thing. And I think he. That's how he gets publicity, kind of. I think he's having fun with this. I think there's something about it where he's like. But it's been so long, dude. I remember being 17 years old, I want to say. And I had booked a ticket to Vegas.

I think he was performing at the Luxor, I want to say, and maybe the MGM, and same thing happened. We were up there, we drove up, canceled. So the shows, though, still... Years ago. They still sell out? Oh, yeah, for sure. See, that's amazing, then. How does he make...

He's still selling tickets. It's not like people have given up on it. But if Morrissey has to give refunds for all these shows he cancels, how is he making any money? Many money. Because it seems like he's got to refund everyone for every show. And you would think the venues would have an ironclad contract with him saying, hey, if you don't perform, you know, we're not footing the bill. It's wild. It's going to be all on you, buddy.

It's incredible at this point. And we really should make the shirts. I know we got these. I've never been intimate with Jake shirts. We should have gotten. We should have used all that. All the resources. Is he comfortable?

Is he? Of course. Get that steak out of here, damn it. They got to do every possible thing. I got to make my money tonight. What's the weather like? Is it too hot? Is it too cold?

Remember he canceled the show because there was too much traffic and loud noise at his hotel. Right. And he couldn't get a good night's sleep. Oh, that's right. That was the most recent one. Are you feeling so anymore? Are you tired? Damn it.

Is he an actual singer? Are you eating already? Are you eating and talking on the radio? Yes, I am. What are you having? You guys are not going to know what this is. An arepa. Anyways, is he a singer?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's from Columbia. And Morrissey's a singer, yes. Maybe he pretends he's a singer, and that's why he cancels shows. Omar has seen him. Oh, yeah, he's great. You've seen him a few times where he's actually gone and performed.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Great show. Lately, it's just been more cancels than goes. Why don't they have an incredible Morrissey impersonator that's just waiting in the wings at any time? They have this cover band. I want to say they're called Los Hooligans. and they have like this guy from, I want to say

Super Troopers is, I forget his name. He plays guitar for them. Really good band. Yeah, I mean, they just need to have a good sub. If you have a good sub, then you're like, ah, cool, I'll stick around and get my money back. The comedian who used to smash the Watermelons, Gallagher, I think he didn't do any of his shows

and his twin brother just went up and performed as him for years and people didn't realize it. And they didn't care because they're like, there's just a guy smashing Watermelons on stage. Absolutely, it does not matter. So you've got to figure out a Morrissey. If you're someone who resembles morrissey in any way and no one even knows what morrissey looks like anymore because he's never out in public i think if you put enough scarves around your neck no one can tell anyway go out make a killing uh so they provided an update on jackie the bald eagle apparently it was not a

good update this was the first time at least that i saw the actual clinic making an announcement like a press conference and i feel bad because these um doctors are getting harassed by the public some of them even getting death threats because they are not diagnosing jackie faster but this was the update we are sorry to share that today's update is not positive apparently it sounds like they're all german patient 26519 remains in our intensive care unit where she continues to receive oxygen therapy supportive treatment and round-the-clock monitoring last night was particularly difficult her packed cell volume or pcv which measures the percentage of red blood cells in the bloodstream has fallen below 10 percent again the condition remains

critical. We wish we had better news to share. I mean, I wouldn't trust a doctor that sounds like that. I mean, that doctor... You sound like they're in a lab trying to put her wings back together. That doctor was born to give bad news. He's not giving good news, that guy. He's not saying, we took care of it, the tumor's gone. He's the guy that goes

and goes, it is bad and getting worse. He sounds like mad scientist style, like we Frankensteined a new animal. It's alive! Yeah, pour one out for Jackie. I don't know how much... They still haven't figured out what's wrong with her. The CT scan and all that other stuff, The measuring the bone marrow and all that has been inconclusive.

All right. Well, we get into a brand new hour of the show in a moment.
