Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - Who Had the Worst Father's Day

Episode Date: June 22, 2026

New episode of Klein Alley Show is about to begin, but before that can happen, Alley, let's tell the people what they need to know. You mean about San Bernardino International Airport? Of course I'm talking about the San Bernardino International Airport. Easy, close, and not LAX. And parking is always just five bucks a day, which means it is El Cheapo approved. Fly nonstop to Provo, Utah for all the skiing, snowboarding, or wives you can handle. And of course you can fly into my hometown of San Francisco, San Bernardino International Airport, when airports smell great. all right let's give away a giant tv to a dad who is deserving of one or maybe you're not a dad necessarily but you identify as one i always thought the monday after father's day should

be other father's day where we celebrate all of the stepdads and the absentee dad i wished all my stepdads a happy father's day i don't think they get like the real day but like i think the monday after is like the appropriate for like the maybe you had some mouth babies or maybe you're like or like a dad people are who are just dad like yeah the other all the kind of other dads get the Monday after. Like, Jake, you know, considers himself a dad because of his dog, Kibby,

but we all... Not a dad. People say that. I don't say that. Yeah. People don't say that. Anybody who wished you a happy Father's Day, Jake,

is an idiot. There is numerous. Ridiculous. Who wished you a happy Father's Day? All sorts of, like, Instagram followers, all sorts of people.

Did they preface the fact... Those aren't real people. Yeah, yeah, those aren't real people. All sorts of digital bots. I got tons of messages. Did they, like... Like, hey, good,

you're a great dog dad, See, that's why. He needs the Monday after. We take all the rest, all the others. No, he doesn't even get that. No, Jake gets the Tuesday after. I'll take it. Who's left?

Dog dads. I was so inspired last week by us giving away these TVs and hearing just how happy it made the dads that won them that I was sitting there and I thought to myself, you know what? My dad's TV sucks. He had a 40-inch TV in his living room. In his living room? And the only reason he had a 40-inch TV is because I gave him that five years ago when he had a 27-inch TV, and I said, this is pathetic, dude. You've got to step it up.

So he had this crappy 40-inch TV that I'd gotten him that I didn't think would even last very long. It was definitely not a good brand. And I was so inspired by how happy people were, giving away the 75-inch TVs, that I sent my dad a TV. What size? 75 inches. Nice.

Not an inch less. I said, that's the number. Everyone wants it. Everyone's excited. TC, I went with the one we're giving away, dude. I got so inspired by it. Oh, I thought you went with something else. No, I went with the exact one that we're giving away, and I got no deal.

I didn't steal one from a listener. I paid full price. Yeah, why didn't you call Uncle Scott, by the way? Yeah, you dumbass. I didn't think about that. He's got them coming out of his butt. The exact ones that we're giving out for free all week. But he was so excited when the thing arrived, and he kept, he's a guy, I don't need anything

guy, and he was so excited, and now I have become 24-7 tech support for him with every question yes that is because they're smart tvs they need a lot of connecting there's a lot of account activation that needs to happen about having them come back and pick it up today because it's just nothing but ever since it was questions about how to get it out of the box what are you facetiming oh a lot of facetiming him holding up cords and what does this cord do one of the cords he held up was the was ali i'm not kidding you was the curtain he was holding up a cord and the cord he thought he was holding up and asking where do you need to plug it into was part of the window curtain.

I said, Dad, that's part of a curtain, man. It's not a cord. You don't have to plug that in. So if you do give this TV to a father in your life, and he's, you know, north of 70, just be on the understanding that he may try to plug a window curtain into it to get it going. Let's say hi now to all these people

that's Father's Day did not go according to plan. And let's go ahead and make someone's Father's Day instantly better, even if it is the day after. And we kick things off right now with Kelsey. Good morning, Kelsey. What's up? good morning how are you guys doing fine what was up with your father's day yeah i mean besides the father's day that my grandfather passed away um yesterday my dad

accidentally stopped washing the grill and all of the meat burned so we ended up having to order takeout oh that's such a um a shameful moment for a dad too because they have such pride in their their barbecue skills he just abandoned his task he did and i think where he went wrong he didn't wear you know how fathers like typically wear those sandals they have like the grilling shoes i think because he didn't have his grilling shoes on yesterday he wasn't in grill mode the first of many mistakes exactly i think it's weird on father's day because usually grilling you know that's when you step up but on father's day you also go like i guess this is kind of the day that if i'm ever gonna like let others relax and then you oh wait that's right no one else

knows how to flip a burger that's on me and now you have to order takeout and you lost all all that meat that's that's sad by the way all that meat burning that's a that's a bad one all right well we may have to give him a giant tv let's say hi to jared good morning jared uh why was your father's day absolutely ruined sorry good morning guys good morning uh so uh yesterday for Father's Day, my family took me out to eat and my son pooped on me. Was he wearing a diaper or he just flat out pooped? Was he 20 or?

No, he's two years old, but he's in this phase where he's taking off his diaper and at the restaurant, he took it off and it like dripped out of his pants and that's what I was wearing. That restaurant still have an A in the window or do they have to replace that with a B or a C after

that happened? Well, I didn't tell anyone at the restaurant. and I kind of just got up and went in the restroom and cleaned, you know? You need to replace it with a two. Yeah, that's...

Hey, you're replacing our A with a two. What is that about? That's funny. Baby crapped his dad at booth number four earlier. All right, that's a terrible... Also par for the course,

though, with the two. Yeah, but getting crapped on, you think of all the days it's going to happen, Father's Day. That's kind of one of those things where it's poetic and some ways it's beautiful

because you're like, yep, I'm a dad now. It does depend on when that happens, too, before the meal or after the meal. Before the meal, that's that's worse i don't think celebrating your father's day fails so the nice thing is one

of you will go ahead and turn that bad day into something great because you will be getting a giant tv and a bunch of meat you can buy whatever the hell you want we recommend nothing but meat at von's albertson's pavilions with a giant gift card and then vanessa says all of the dads who won these tvs from us last week including today we're all written down one of them is gonna get picked and they're gonna get an additional five hundred dollars to buy all the meat and or booze they need uh michael on k rock good morning hey good morning sweet divots what happened uh yeah i my i worked on father's day but before that i got woken up by my wife saying she drank too much so she had to go to the hospital took her to the hospital stood there a while dropped

uh had a leap to go to work then come back my older daughter went to go pick her up from the hospital she forgot it's father's day went to her boyfriend's house to spend his the day with him my younger daughter forgot that it was even father's day too and then i didn't get no text or nothing to say father's day then when i get back home my wife's all like oh i forgot my prescription i need to go back to the hospital go back to the hospital and that's how i spent my father's day and yeah never not one person in your entire family sent you a text a gave you a coffee nothing nothing nothing so and he worked by the way on top of everything else he worked and had to go to the hospital multiple times and then you had to pick up your wife's prescription just

because she drank too much she sounds fun hey art good morning welcome to k rock hey how's your father's day um spent it on the soccer field took her kid to a game that you know tournament on father's day why not they won had to wait a few hours to see if we're going to play the next game We did. Lost that game. And then got home around 6 o'clock. No breakfast, no lunch, just soccer fields all day. You know, I know people say that you should be.

I thought this was over. Isn't soccer over? It's never over. Oh, for club? No, it's never over. Just when you think, oh, I think I just got a weekend maybe, or maybe I get this month. No, you don't.

There's some sort of an alert about something that's happening. You want to be clipped in the face. That sounds terrible. So he was just at a soccer field. All you have to wait around for hours just to find out if you're going to play again? Yep. Yep. And I know people are saying, oh, that's what you do.

That's part of being a dad. But, boy, it does seem if you want to live your life in Camarillo, that's... It's always Camarillo, isn't it? Plenty of room out there. Unless you live in Camarillo, in which case it's an hour away from there. Just endless soccer fields. Don't make sure your tournament is always an hour away from where you are. Hugo, why did you have a terrible Father's Day?

Hi. Hi. Good morning. So yesterday was actually my father-in-law's birthday. So we spent the day celebrating him. Oh, he was a more important father? I guess so, yeah. That is so sucks when you got kind of overshadowed by a different dad.

So you were there and you're also a dad, but there was no mention of you, no anything. Everything was about the father-in-law because it was the birthday. So he trumped you. Yeah, it was his birthday. So we went out to where he wanted to, we took him out for breakfast, where he wanted to go for lunch, and then, you know, still, we still ended up getting him a birthday cake later on in the day. Did anyone mention

at any point, hey, Hugo was also a dad, like, were your kids there as well? Even like a cheers. Yeah, my kids were there, but, you know, they're two and four, so, you know, they don't really have a good understanding of father's day just yet. Yeah, it sucks at that point. You didn't even get a card?

That's rough. Elise on KROQ, women can have bad father's days, too. Hi. Hi, so We went bowling with my dad, and he was winning, and then all of a sudden my brother beat him because he got four strikes in a row, and then we ended up, we forgot to give him his card, and then we didn't give it to him until like five o'clock. So you beat him in bowling, the one thing that he was probably going to live off of

for a year of bragging rights, and then at the end your little brother got four strikes in a row, and your dad lost at his own bowling tournament? Yeah. I think my brother beat him twice. Yeah, when you're on a hot streak, you can't go back. I mean, you're a pretty good bowler, Klein. If you're getting four strikes in a row, that's like the best you've ever done. The best bowling story that ever happened was courtesy of this show

when Blind Charlie accidentally threw a ball into Allie's lane and ruined her entire perfect game, as she claims. I was doing amazing until that happened. Hey, Mike on KROQ. Last one, then we've got to give away this TV. A lot of dads here claim their day was ruined yesterday. What's up, Mike? Hey, good morning, guys.

We did it. So yesterday was my first Father's Day ever. My son's just about to turn one, so we had my in-laws come over. And, of course, they brought their two small Pomeranian dogs with them. One of them ended up biting my son on the head. Oh! So I had to leave the truck. Where were you at, Dad?

Yeah, well, that's your fault. I was biting the grill on Pomeranian. Oh, okay. No, you were doing the other job. So you're on the grill, the Pomeranian bites your baby kid on the head, and then what? So we ended up going to the urgent care, you know, spent a few hours there, getting flushed out. And, you know, once that's done, I still have to go to a 24-hour pharmacy, pick up some medication for him and everything.

But that was a fun day. Came home to a cold plate of tri-tip and went to bed. Cold plate of tri-tip that you had made hours earlier for yourself. Yeah, you left. I'm sure they just didn't help maintain the meat while you were gone. Out of curiosity, does your son have teeth marks in his head still? He's got a good gash. She's kind of starting to scab over a little bit, but he's a trooper, though.

Well, listen, Natalie, we've heard some stories here. That sucks. That is a terrible day. I mean, that's also his first Father's Day, too. He finally earned a Father's Day, and he's got all the things. He doesn't get the food he made. It's cold. He's got the urgent care trip, which sucks.

That's going to be costly as well. And I've been there. My first Mother's Day, I was also in the ER because my kid had a head fall. That was rough, and I felt like a horrible parent, too. That's the other part of it is you feel like a bad parent that you're there in the ER with your kid. Mike, you let your kid be eaten by Pomeranians. But still, we are going to say, because you have tugged at our heartstrings in just the right way, and our short-term memory is fried.

We don't remember any other caller. You have won yourself a giant 75-inch TCL QM7L TV plus a Q75H soundbar. So it'll sound as good as it looks. Congratulations. Also, we're going to give you, on top of that, $100 to spend at Vaughn's, Albertson's Pavilions. Reload that tri-tip and get yourself a nice hot tri-tip. You deserve it. And some Band-Aids for your kid's head.

Congratulations. Really appreciate it. Thank you, guys. Hey, there you go. See, now, it's just one for me and the worst Father's Day ever. To the best. Now you've got a great gift. To the best.

To the best, right? That's awesome. And your kid is stronger for getting bit on the head by a pomeranian. And shout out those dogs' names. Give those dogs' names a shout out on KROQ. Go ahead. Louie and Teddy. Louie and Teddy.

I was going to curse, but yeah. I feel like every Pomeranian's name is Teddy. Congratulations. Thank you for everyone. I'm sorry we couldn't get to all the stories. And for everyone who called, thanks for sharing. All right, Vanessa, a lot of winners. Someone's going to get even more money as we go ahead and up that $100 to $500 for meat

and booze and clearly first aid equipment. So Vanessa will come in with that name. We'll announce that on the airwaves next. And then we've got lots more show to get into after this on KROQ.
