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.
Some of the greatest things we have in this country,
happy 250th birthday, by the way, America,
came from other countries originally.
Everything from meatballs to menage a trois started elsewhere,
and that's why we have to look at what's happening around the world
and decide, is this worthy of an import,
or do we export it and keep it where it is?
This one comes to us from South Korea,
and it's something that we've talked about versions of alley,
but I don't think we've ever actually played around with this concept.
this would infuriate me so much because i would feel like you've inadvertently done this i have
and i've been fooled and it's a terrible feeling but apparently if you go into this
with the intention of this new app that they're using maybe it changes everything people save
money lose weight i don't know listen to this a south korean app has gone viral for letting people
pretend to order food so it looks like a food delivery app except there's one major difference
Food Never Comes is designed to act like food delivery apps, but nothing actually happens when you hit order.
So if you've ever tried to order food and you screwed something up or you didn't actually approve it or said that one final verification or whatever and the food never shows up, that's a terrible feeling.
And your wife has done that many, many times.
I think the last time she only ordered utensils, right?
Four sets of utensils.
Four sets of utensils are up and no food.
So I had heard about different websites that give you this dopamine hit where you're online shopping, you're buying things, but then when you click buy, you're not really buying anything.
You're just pretending to buy.
You were saying during Prime Days, you were doing a lot of add to cart, add to cart without actually ever having the intention of buying.
Yeah, and Vanessa has 75 items in her Amazon cart that she doesn't buy.
Well, that was last week.
Who knows what that number's up to now?
Actually, also, I pretend to door dash all the time.
What?
You do what?
Yeah, because I'm like, okay, let's see if there's something I want, and then I'll fill out my car, and then time has passed, and now I know that I shouldn't get it.
So it's like I'm pretending like, okay, maybe I will get it.
You put a whole order.
You open up DoorDash.
You scroll through, look at the pictures of the food.
You add, add, add, add.
You make modifications too and stuff?
Yeah, like maybe I'll order it, but then if time has passed where it will, then it's like, okay, well, now you can't get it, girl.
You took too long.
You can still get it.
Yeah, you can still get it.
It's there for you.
What, do you wait until the restaurant closes?
Now it's past your bedtime.
Wait, so you'll put in all the stuff.
You'll get excited about it.
Or, like, I'll see my order, and I can be like, okay, you know what?
I can make this.
I'm trying not to spend money, but I'm also like, what if?
So you're basically just testing the waters.
Exactly.
Because you're seeing if you really want to order food by ordering the food but not actually ordering it?
Yes.
But do you ever get, you know, even if your plan is I'm just going to go ahead and get the dopamine hit of putting an order together,
do you ever sometimes look at the order and go, that looks good, and then hit send and order it?
If it's sushi, I'm like, you know what?
I can't make this at home.
Yeah.
You can't make any of this.
Well, that's interesting, but I, for me, when I'm ordering food, there is a clear decision that I want.
I want food and I even know what restaurant I want it from or I know what type of food I want.
And then that ordering process is happening immediately because we're all starving.
I think this is different.
I like set up an order just like I hit like press and send as I get in the car.
Right.
Yeah, that's how I think most people look at it.
Now, there's people that are going, I think I'm kind of hungry, but I have no idea what I feel like.
And then they start scrolling the app.
That's when I think you start getting more into the idea of what could I be eating?
I think we're all blown away about the possibilities.
Well, we could be eating anything right now.
If I'm going to fake buy anything, let it be the coolest, biggest thing ever.
Why are you going to fake buy like a taco combo platter?
I'm not going to fake buy ramen.
I want to fake buy a million dollar mansion.
Right.
And then I want to fake buy stuff like designer clothes or something crazy.
But here's the thing that's interesting.
No one judges.
We don't judge each other that we spend time going on Zillow or Redfin and looking at houses that we know we can't afford.
And being like, hmm, that walk-in closet's a little small.
Yeah, probably couldn't.
Probably wouldn't buy that one anyway.
Only three pools?
Shut up.
But, you know, but we all do that anyway because that's a fun way to live.
That's the dopamine hit.
But to now bring it down to, well, Jake, I mean, you're a shack guy.
You're always going to be a shack guy.
Yeah, I look at other shacks.
Yeah, Jake looks at other shacks available.
No, it's not a shack.
Three windows, whoa.
What?
Three windows?
That's a shack.
That's a shed.
That's insane.
That's a window per wall.
So do we import this, Allie?
Nothing actually happens when you hit order.
The app is a so-called dopamine site aimed at giving users the buzz of buying something without spending money.
I don't like this.
That's his opinion.
And just so that people don't get confused and accidentally order food that they didn't want to begin with, it's called Nothing Ever Comes or whatever.
It's called No Food Comes or something.
No Food Comes.
But the thing is, if you have this app, don't put it next to your actual DoorDash app.
Right.
Because if you order for the wrong app, the food won't come.
And the right app, it will come.
Yeah, this is much funnier as a prank app where I can put it on my friend's phones.
You just pass it around, guys.
Add everything that you want to add.
Add what you want.
And then just feel.
Sike, nothing's coming.
Nothing's arriving.
Some people save a lot of money by just pretending.
So I know you're big on, you're very cost conscious.
So would that appeal to you in any sense?
No, because I've got to eat.
Then I'm still hungry.
Yeah, then you're still hungry.
Yeah, I've got to eat.
I'd rather just go ahead and spend the money and eat.
Yeah, I don't know about this.
I just think, I mean, we are so deep.
It's a dopamine hit, right?
So when you press buy, it gives you that rush.
And then people are saying, hey, I don't actually need the product.
I just need the rush of, yeah, I'm with you.
Two thumbs down.
All right.
Is that an import or export, Ali?
What do you think?
An app that allows us?
You should ask her a couple more questions about it and she'll change her mind again.
She could go back.
I could see her.
She loved it a moment ago.
Now she's two thumbs down.
You know what?
I don't know.
Boo.
I think I'm going to strongly export this.
That's an export.
Keep it South Korea.
What a waste of time.
That's for you.
Omar, is that an import or an export?
You know, I'll import it for Vanessa because she enjoys it.
What do you have currently, Vanessa, in your DoorDash cart?
Anything in there?
Let's see.
Maybe I forgot to delete.
Let me see.
I'd be curious to see what she's got in there right now.
And I wonder if you would just order fantastical foods.
Yeah, like decadent stuff.
Yes.
Stuff that's like so unhealthy for you, but you would love to eat it.
Or like, you know, tomahawk steak or something to be delivered to your house.
Because it'd be sad if you're playing this little game, this fake dopamine game, and it's like fast food.
It's like meal for one.
Right, right.
Vanessa, what do you have in there?
Actually, my car is empty.
Oh.
I know.
I'd like to get you that.
Trust me, I do this all the time because it's like, okay, there's a chance I'll buy this,
but there's also a chance I won't.
Where's your go-to?
Like, what restaurant do you always hit up?
Where's your fake order?
I always go to this one sushi place.
This place calls Soronatown for Mexican food.
Oh, yeah.
Sometimes I do ramen.
I do a little pho.
But these places have never actually delivered you food ever.
Yeah, I've ordered food sometimes.
Sometimes I look up sandwiches.
Which one do I really want?
Different places.
I could see you doing it for a sandwich.
That big Italian one.
It's got everything on it.
And then I'm like, I'll just have a turkey provolone.
If you know you're never going to order it, just keep adding more and more.
Double me.
Why not?
Triple me.
And then you play with the price.
Like, this is possible.
But you know what?
I'm going to make it happen.
781 said that they fake order things just like Vanessa does.
That's crazy.
74 said this app is so stupid you wouldn't even have a dopamine high
because you know it's not coming right that's the one major difference right you would think going
into it you know i'm not maybe it should be like a roulette situation where like every 10th time
it does come but i want to say a bit of a trendsetter here because if you remember during
covid i started planning and these whole vacate knowing i was never going to go on these vacations
i was just planning these elaborate vacations and then it came back to bite me in the ass because i
absolutely got charged so much the the vacation part is the best part the planning of the vacation
is the worst part i don't want to do all the planning well and then not actually have the
vacation all right we're going to vote export on this one you can keep it south korea quick break
