Summary

Klein.Ally.Show on KROQ is more than just a "dynamic, irreverent morning radio show that mixes humor, pop culture, and unpredictable conversation with a heavy dose of realness." (but thanks for that quote anyway). Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal.

Let's not waste any time. We have a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show to share with you,

0:03.7

so let's get into it. No, Klein. First, we have to talk about San Bernardino International Airport and how they've got you covered this summer, whether you're traveling to San Francisco or Provo, Utah. What do you want? Sit in traffic on the side of the five freeway and smell that cow manure? Of course you don't. Skip the drive and fly hassle free. The San Bernardino International Airport, the only airport on the planet that we wholeheartedly recommend.

0:04.3

And it's convenient. You got low-cost parking five bucks a day. And speaking of hassle, here's another episode of Klein Alley Show. Later this hour, we will pay our respects to the least respected currency in the history of the world. That is the penny. It has officially been discontinued. I'm sure you've got some probably in between the seats of your car right now maybe in your pocket maybe you got one of them jars it's just been collecting them your entire life and now they've decided to stop making them because it's just not worth it people aren't really spending them people don't even bend down to pick them up anymore but a little bit later this hour we will officially let you pay your final respects to the penny.

0:55.5

And people are not waiting until that moment because they have to share their love for the currency that no one seems to care about.

1:02.2

And we're just accepting these stories in remembrance of the penny all show long.

1:08.0

Go ahead, Joe.

1:09.4

Okay, at 21, I bought my first beer with all pennies

1:13.2

because i had been fired for my job a week before the dirtiest pennies oh man something even

1:18.6

nicer about spending the dirty pennies by penny you will always be loved and you will always be

1:24.0

dirty just like me beautifully said and if you have any tributes you'd like to leave on the goat line, that number's 844-956, G-O-A-T. Quite a few people sharing stories about a time that a penny actually saved their ass or potentially a bunch of pennies. Maybe it was a sock full of pennies that you turn into a weapon. I used to collect pennies and then I would pour them all out on my bed and I would bathe in them like Scrooge McDuck. And that is why Allie has earned the name El Chippo, because what she doesn't realize is it was only 17 cents worth of pennies. And she felt like Scrooge McDuck rolling around in the dirty, dirty penny. Yeah, but I thought it was so cool that he dove into his money like that and swam in it. And I was like, I got to do that. I want to know what that feels like, but it feels really dirty. Later this hour, all of those touching tributes as we celebrate the coin that we've all used at some point in our life, but doesn't really matter much at all. Well, it's the thing you can collect the most of because it's worth the least. So when you have a lot of it...

2:18.1

You know how Disneyland has those little penny presses? Oh, yeah. I was a huge collector of that. I have like... Well, I collected about 23 until my wife was like mocking me relentlessly, so I stopped. Yeah, she's right. And she's right. And she's right, almost. Sometimes I saw one recently. it was like four bucks that you had to put in there.

2:15.5

Whoa, no way.

2:16.3

And I was like, dude, you had to put in there.

2:35.2

Whoa, no way.

2:36.1

And I was like, dude, because it used to be like 51 cents.

2:39.2

Yeah, it was like 50 cents.

2:40.1

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2:40.4

And then you're like, yeah, cool, I got a flat penny with a little stagecoach on it.

2:43.7

I thought it was nice.

2:44.4

Well, some places, that used to be just the free souvenir. If you had a penny, you could stamp it for free. They didn't even charge you to do it. Then all of a sudden, they're like, wait a minute, what are we doing doing this for free?

2:52.3

We can charge people. But that's, you're right. I don't even think about it. Those are probably

2:55.2

going to go away now because... I know, those machines are sitting in so many, you know, gift shops and random places. Who thought about that?
