Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - The Erewhon Water Taste Test

Episode Date: July 15, 2026

About to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show, but first let's tell you about our good friends at the finest airport that ever was and ever will be. The San Bernardino International Airport. Especially when there's summer travel plans, it can get expensive at these airports. That's why you gotta go to this airport where parking is just five bucks a day. Plus you got those easy trips, San Francisco or Provo, Utah. Maybe you didn't plan anything this summer. See how easy it is. Don't be one of those people who has to pack your patience. Go to San Bernardino International Airport. okay enough shilling and now it's time to get into a brand new episode of klein alley show all the experts are saying you got to stay hydrated today it's a heat wave in southern california it's gonna get super hot temperatures and triple digits and uh the air conditioning

has decided to not work at k-rock so ally is pregnant it's our responsibility to make sure that this baby grows inside of her healthy so we got to make sure she's hydrated and there's no better way to hydrate her than with the most expensive cup of water that you can currently purchase which she would never buy herself because she's so effing cheap i have never paid more than i think a dollar fifty for water even at the airport i would rather go waterless and wait for the little lady to come around with the bottle of water in the cup then actually purchase never five dollar bottle never would buy a bottle of water at the airport nope nope i don't think i ever have this is uh the water everyone's yapping about now it's available at air one it's twelve

dollars for a cup of ice water people are uh you know can't can't believe it of course sign of the times anyway here's the news covering it looks like big daddy air one might have heard tell of a gourmet gas station in beverly hills that's opening up and said introducing the 12 cup of water from air one yeah sort of so anyway that's an annoying news crew i don't know what's happening there at all it's pretty terrible but but anyway they're they're anyway delivering the news about a $12 cup of water, and you can buy it at Air One, and I don't want to I know you've talked about it. I'm not going to

describe what it is. It's infused with a lot of things. Yeah, I can't remember the ingredients. My short-term memory loss is pretty bad. I have the list here of all the stuff in it, but I'm going to wait until the end because we have in front of you right now five different cups of water. All of them have been infused with different things.

Okay, hold on. Let me go look at this. Most of them cost us absolutely nothing to make, so everything on this table is free. Some of them have a sugar packet inside it's a k-rock tap water with a sugar packet which was pretty much free others are slight variations i think one of them is filtered water from the coffee maker at k-rock also free that we infuse with a sip of someone else's half drunk celsius but the point is these are all quote infused waters only one of them is 12 the others all completely free why are these all so many

different colors and please can you at least confirm that one of them is not pee i cannot i i can't drink pee guys they can't sterile and i cannot confirm that at this point so somebody peed in a cup no i didn't say i didn't i didn't say this did anybody poo in a cup am i drinking pee or poo no no no one did that ali well we wouldn't do that to you and also i I believe, I'm not sure, that one is suspicious looking. This looks like pee. Vanessa, you help put this together. Ali, you're pregnant, we wouldn't do anything to harm you.

Yeah, I... Vanessa's such a bad liar. I know, right? You know I'm a bad liar, so you know that was the truth. Yeah, do you think, Vanessa, there's nothing in here that is not fit for human consumption, correct? Correct. Okay. That does not say much.

What does that say? Does one of them have that diarrhea parasite? They're all tap water from Taco Bell. There's a little bit of lettuce in there. It's lettuce water from Taco Bell. So here's the question. Ken Alley, you can watch this right now on YouTube if you want to see what these look like. Each one of them, because they're all in the Air One cups, so they all look fancy.

I'll put it that way. Just these cups alone, these plastic cups, I think, are valued at $5. And what is this one with a lollipop inside? Is that? I don't know. Let me see that one. What is that? That's a lemon slice.

What are you calling a lollipop for? You think that Erewhon would make this? I don't know. That looks like expensive water to me. It looks like a lollipop. It is a lollipop. It looks like a lemon on a stick. That's a dream.

Look, once again, I would never spend $12 on a cup of ice water. Not going to do it. Well, you did, didn't you? Yes, for this segment, I did. Yes, for this bit, I did spend it. How much did the people laugh at you when you bought this? I hated going in to get it. I hated that the people behind me said, are you really getting it?

And I hated the fact that the guy that seemed cool that was selling it to me goes, are you sure you want that? And I said, I do, but it's not for me. And that was it. And he looked at me. He's like, whatever. And then because I didn't want to come across like a total loser, I said, and let me get some chicken tenders because they had chicken tenders. And I spent $7 on two chicken tenders, which, by the way, half the price of this cup of water. So think about that for just a second.

And they taste good? Yeah, chicken tenders. Not as good as, you know, Raising Cane's or whatever, but they're fine. Okay. So, Allie's got the five cups. You want to go ahead and make this interesting? Sure. One of them is a $12 cup of water.

The others all cost less than two cents to make. So, what is the bet? Because I am going to say that you will not be able to do it. I think I'll be able to do it. And if I can do it, I want you to buy me this water every day. No. Every day for what? It's $12.

Definitely. No, you would. This water, I'm going to tell you right now that the Erewhon water is infused one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine different things, including some sort of special ice cubes that I think came from a glacier or something. Okay, if I do this right, I want you to stop working out. No more protein. You're off it. You're off it for at least a month. And creatine.

I'll stop. I'll happily stop working out. I wasn't going to work out anyway. It's too hot. You can't stop. Yeah, I can stop. I'll stop. Hey, that's what addicts say.

I'll stop right now. I can stop. I can do it. I can stop. I just choose to continue. I can stop right now. Do 50 push-ups and think about it. Go ahead.

Is that the bet you want to do? I'm going to let you bet whatever you want, but you have to put up something as well if you're not able to do it. Five cups of water in front of Allie. One of them is the most expensive cup of ice water ever on a day. Then it's very important that you stay hydrated. I want two of the things Vanessa just told me in my ear

would be harmful to an unborn fetus what? I don't know which cup it's in though well I have to drink out of all the cups what does it matter what cup it's in? a little sip shouldn't matter though Vanessa right? little sips where are you getting this information?

the scientists the scientists the scientists that's right we contacted scientists as you know All right, whenever you're ready. All right. No, no, okay, you'll be fine.

Everyone says you'll be fine. I'm going to start with the clear one. All right, this is a clear, looks like a clear cup of water. Oh, Allie's making a weird face. Okay, that's water with some kind of a flavoring in it. It's very strong. That cannot be Erewhon. Why do you say that?

Because it's way too sweet. It seems like it was thrown together, like it's got a flavor packet or electrolytes or some kind of a weird powder that's now dissolved. So you don't think that could possibly be a $12 cup of water? No, way too sweet. Gross. All right. That was the pee. No, I'm just kidding.

That person is... That person has a UTI. All right, this is the second cup of water. Allie is now holding up and drinking it. All right, this is the one that kind of looks like pee, but tastes like tea. So it's got a tea-infused thing going on, which could be an Erewhon contender. Okay. Because I do remember, I think there is some jasmine tea or some kind of tea infused in the water.

Once again, it's being marketed as a $12 cup of ice water. I think they have a name for it, too. It's called... Sacred water. Sacred water, that's right. This next one Allie's picking up is pink-looking in color. She's also making a weird face. Yeah, that's some other powder that someone found in a drawer.

That's a drawer powder, you're saying. And once again, Allie doesn't know water because she's cheap and doesn't pay anything. Now she's drinking the fourth one now. The fourth one also looks kind of like... What in the God's name is that taste? That is feet. I think it's water and feet. One of the cups was filled after someone got a pedicure on the show.

If that is the Erewhon water, I don't know what we're doing here. This one? Okay. That's the fourth one you drank. Let me just double check. I know which one is which. You've eliminated number one already, you think? It's not one.

Okay, I just eliminated one. She said the pink one tastes like drawer powder. The second one tastes good. It tastes like a really yummy water infused with tea. So that is my number one contender. If it's this last one that I had, that is the most disgusting water I've ever tasted. And if anyone's paying any money for that, they need to be institutionalized. All right, you have one more cup there.

This is the one that has the lemon on a stick in it. And she's sipping this one now. She made fun of the fact that it looks like a lollipop is floating in the water, but now she is having a sip. And that one also has a slight tinge of yellowness to it, but she's sipping this one. That's the fifth water. I at least tried five waters to stay hydrated. It's very important. Pregnant people, old people stay hydrated.

This one has the most flavor to it. I taste a few different things. I can taste a little bit of lemon. I can taste a little bit of, like, botanicals, you know. I think this might be it. Allie is, just so you know, people on the text line saying that you look beautiful. Watching Allie sip water and do that thing with her lips I find very sexy. I may be into pregos now, someone says.

So look at this. Allie is drinking her fifth cup now. Yeah, I think you may have put this in here to try and throw me off, whatever this lemon sucker thing is. Why do you think I have lemons on sticks floating around at my place? Well, what is this? I don't know. Once again, all I did... There's no way it came with this.

Listen, you've now tried all the waters. I feel like some people are able to guess successfully just on appearance alone. Which one would you like to eliminate immediately? I'm immediately eliminating the clear water and the pink water. All right, pink and clear out. Am I at least right about those? You have eliminated two. The first one you eliminated was K-Rock tap water with a Splenda packet in it.

That's what it was. You eliminated that. The second one you eliminated, the pink one, had one of those electrolyte packets that was found at the drawer here at K-Rock in it. And that was also water. So you are successful so far. Now you're down to three options. One of them is the $12 cup of water. I'm eliminating this one that I think is just water with a little tea in it.

Allie's eliminating the one that she believes to be just water with a tea bag soaking in it. that one is also not Air One that was made here with a bag of Lipton tea seeping in a cup of tap water from the bathroom our grossest of the taps

but it's been sitting in the fridge and chilling for the last hour was any of this from a toilet? one of them was, yes not bad down to two now she's trying one one is giving her a very bad gag reflex and she doesn't like it.

Oh, my God. I think this is it. You think the gross one that's making you gag is the $12 cup of water? Yes, I do. Really? Yes, because it's got like a coconut-y taste. It also has, like there's too many tastes happening at once.

It's not a good commercial for it if that's it. It's just terrible. And then the last one you claim has got a nice lemon taste to it. This I like. This has a really nice taste, actually. And I'm just wondering if Erewhon would overdo it with this horrible, overpriced, bad-tasting $12 water or if they would actually make something that's decent. I'm still going to go with the gross one.

You think the gross one is the $12 cup of water? I think the gross one is the $12 cup of water. All right. The one that you couldn't decide between, the one that you liked was actually, once again, from the tap at K-Rot, flavored with a lollipop soaking in it for 12 hours. That's a 12-hour lollipop. I told you it was a lollipop. Where'd you get this lollipop?

I don't know. Everything was found here at K-Rock and free. The cup that you found to be the grossest, you are correct. That is the organic coconut water, organic jasmine tea, organic raw honey, organic holy basil, organic AC hot pop pop, organic green cardamom, organic white grape juice, and organic coconut milk. Too much. Which all makes it what it is, a $12 cup of sacred water. So, Allie, you are successful. you have picked it, and you look disgusted by it.

And that is the $12 cup you poured out. I mean, this is... Do you want to taste this? It tastes horrible. Not really. Not after you drank out of it. Oh, come on. Now it's got herpes in it.

Now it's herpy water. Do the other side of the cup. So you don't like it. Jake, you want to come in and try it? No, I don't, but you should. No way. I'm going to try the herp water. Forget that.

Come on, that's what I want as my present. No, no, I'll do whatever you... I'm going to actually... You know what, Ally? I'm going to go with your original. I'm going to buy you a cup of that every day and you're going to drink it. No!

That's what you wanted. That's what you wanted. I don't want this anymore. Congratulations. You get what you want every day. You'll start your day with that.
