Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - No Spend September Update

Episode Date: September 18, 2026

We'll get into an episode of Klein Alley 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 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. Thank you, Lincoln Park. We're Klein Alley Show. This is KROQ. These are the numbers you'll need if you want to win stuff from us today, including access to unlimited chicken tenders tomorrow for Tender Fest. We will be out there.

Allie, are you going to come sing the national anthem again? It was such an amazing performance last time. Allie flanked by two giant people in chicken costumes on both sides. Actually, they may have been real chickens. Who knows? I ate them both. They're dead now. They're gonzo.

And this is obviously for us. I mean, this is Vanessa's Coachella. No one loves tenders more than Vanessa. No one loves chicken, period, more than Vanessa. So throughout the show today, when you hear Vanessa demanding chicken, this is what it sounds like if you're unfamiliar. Come here, chickens. No, don't worry.

I'm having problems finding it. Oh, no, we can't find the Vanessa, come here, chickens. I can't find it, yeah. Don't you have a chickens folder at this point? Yeah, what the hell? She's demanded so much chicken on the show. Okay, Vanessa, do it. Do it live, Vanessa.

No, she's eating chicken. Yeah, she went to go get some more chicken from Ralph's. She really did? Oh, my God. She left to go get chicken so she can't do her chicken life? She's got a real addiction to the chicken. I think they dropped off a bunch of tenders from Tenderfest. I think she went down to go pick them up or something because she wants to eat them before we get them.

We're going to have the chicken cam on Vanessa throughout the show today on YouTube, so you'll be able to monitor at any given time her just munching on chicken. Yeah, you can bet on the chicken tender count. Yeah, I don't know how many she'll put down today, but I would imagine north of 50. But regardless, when you hear Vanessa throughout the show, we'll find the clip, But when you hear her say, come here, chickens, which everyone knows the clip by now. You've heard it a million times, but it's basically her going, come here, chicken, chicken. Here it is.

Come here, chicken. That's what you're listening for. It'll happen multiple times throughout the show today. When you hear it, immediately call us. 20th caller, every time you hear it, we'll get tickets to Tenderfest happening tomorrow. And if you want the other access, which is to the In-N-Out Burger sound space, well, then you can win your way into that starting at 9 o'clock. Now, doing stuff for free is great, especially if you are taking part in this no-spend September crap, which Allie presented to us yesterday. We kind of missed the first half of the month of September.

But she goes, let's just start it now and let's see who can spend the least. Look, it's hard to do even for two weeks. Hard to do for a day. It's hard to do for one day. I mean, Jake is already completely losing because he has purchased a new concert T-shirt and a new poster all within a 12-hour period. T-shirt was only $10. But hold on. I thought the whole deal with the no-spend September crap is you don't buy anything you don't need.

It's just... No non-essential spending. Both of those things you bought are the least essential Don't you have hundreds of shirts? Don't you have no room left on your walls Because you have so many posters Eddie lives in a shack, small walls Well decorated shack

I highly doubt that Dude he sent the picture of what he bought And it looks like every other poster he already has It's just purple hazy photo How much did you spend Jake? I can't say It's future money It's future Christmas money so it doesn't count

future money. What does that mean? What kind of girl math is that? You know exactly what it is. It's a present to myself for Christmas, so I'm not going to buy anything for myself for Christmas. This is my Christmas present. How much was it? $25. No, it wasn't. You're lying. Yeah, I know.

It's future Christmas money. Hello! Doesn't count. I am the ghost of your lame future. Your wall is going to get uglier. Welcome to Christmas 2029. You've bought yourself crap for the last seven years. Oh, thank you, mate.

I love crap. How many Christmases are you ahead? Like, are you... The only couple. Really? I don't even think people give themselves Christmas gifts in general. You do when you don't have kids. Future Christmas money is the most absurd statement I have ever heard in my life.

So you bought yourself a future Christmas gift. Look, it's only available for 24 hours. I have to buy it now or else I'll never be able to buy it. I tried to tell my wife that we're not spending any money for the rest of the month. It did not go well, Ali. You know, it's no-spend September right now? No, I don't know. Well, starting today, we're doing the thing to see who can spend the least amount of money through the rest of the month.

Ha-ha. That was a good impression. Ha-ha. The first reaction. Ha-ha. She did Vanessa's ha-ha. The first reaction was her going, ha-ha. I mean, she didn't even, like, take me seriously.

Ha-ha. It's the same thing. All right, you two. Add us to the commercials. What are you saying? It's not real. It is real. What do you mean it's not real?

It's not real. So, like, no eating everything we have in the freezer, not getting food, no buying stuff we don't need. Is this because I won the thing? She believes that because she won petty claims court, I have decided to go over the top with her and say, well, now we're doing No Spend September. That's how much she had no respect for the concept

of the No Spend September. It's not because you won the thing. This is like a thing. There's nothing to do with it. Is that a purchase? She bought something right in the middle of me saying it. I was like, what are you doing right now? I'm explaining the rules.

I'm explaining the rules of No Spend September and you're ordering stuff. I'm sorry. I'm confused. what you spend as little as possible on all on everything like no spending no spending is no spending and then you're saying spend as little as possible that's the same thing she's already catching you in this yeah yeah you don't spend like you i had to spend more than what you need to spend i try to explain it's the concept was so lost on her well you have to pay for

We have to pay for bills. We have to pay, like, you know, gas and stuff like that. Workouts? No. You work out? So you're not going to work out at all? Yeah, I'll drag the jugs of water. So everybody has heard this.

You guys know I do the water jugs, work it out. I do the... I thought that was just a one-time thing. You're doing that regularly? Well, I have to now. Yeah, I thought you were sleep-jugging. I mean, I'll go to the gym downstairs here. That's free, but I can't do anything right to pay.

No gym membership or anything like that. You get here early or go after lunch? I do workouts with stuff around the house. Jugs of water and stuff. So anyway, she's just thrilled about it. And then she walked away. Did it go better at your house? It went equally well at my house.

I tried to break the news to everybody at dinner, and this is how that went. Okay, so guys, you know... What, are they playing you out? What the hell was that? I had to tell them through song. Oh, God. That's the worst. Like, you know, whenever you try to, like, you know, do one of your accents, they just gong you.

They gong you. We're done. It's the gong at her place. All right, that's enough. They're trying to drown me out. hi kids yeah okay so guys if we just if we just keep if we just keep playing music she'll leave us alone she's coming she's coming start playing something you know how we've been doing a lot of trips

yes so we went to chicago we went to tahoe So I'm talking to Eric. God damn. We went to nose boogers. We went to nose boogers. He's got great jokes. Good kids. Good joke.

So all of these trips cost money. Oh. Yeah, he doesn't realize. He doesn't know the concept of money yet. That's a big bummer, huh? Yeah. Yeah. And so I was thinking that for the rest of the month, we do no spend September. What?

It's over. That's a good reaction, too. And scene. Similarly disgusted what right there? Yeah. So we don't spend any more money for the rest of the month. So that means no treats, no toys for the rest of the month. So disappointing.

no say no no wait say no yeah man it's messed up no one's getting on board with this mommy should give us more money okay so that was that backfired yeah i really we're going to the baseball game tomorrow and we're not going to bring any we're going to bring all of our stuff we're not going to buy anything at the game. That's not true. Guys, I'm serious. Allie, you can't do... Oh, and they started

going through all the things that they're going to buy, so now that they actually made a wish list at the end of it. It's not fair. It's not going over well. Ricky, quickly, we've got to take a break. What's up? Dude, you're giving Jake a hard time for future money. He's going to

save this, you are going to save money, and then you're going to gamble it away. I actually won my bets last night. Thanks a lot, Josh Allen. I didn't win your bets. Whose house? Rand's house. You get it right.

Thank you. All right. Now I'm saying it, too. She got the chicken. Oh, yeah. Vanessa came back. She did walk down the hall with a big, huge box of chicken, by the way. So if you want to start watching along on the chicken cam, you can watch Vanessa there,

even while we go to the break. Keep that chicken cam on Vanessa. She'll be grubbing all show long. We've got to take a quick break. We're back with ADD News next, and let's try not to spend any money between now and then. We will give you the chance to win from us free shows. So you spend even less money this month as well. And that'll be all coming up on KROQ.
