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

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. Hey, Ron, Klein Alley Show. If you are kidless, consider yourself incredibly lucky. Unless you're one of these people that's trying desperately and you can't have kids, then I feel bad for you. But if you are living the kid-free life where you're basically planning your own schedule, doing whatever you're one of these people's trying desperately and you can't have kids then I feel bad for you but if you are living the kid free life where you're basically planning your own schedule doing whatever you're damn well please and you want it that way and you want it that way man I don't I still have some friends I don't put Jake in my friend category but I have friends that are always doing stuff cool stuff last minute stuff what I get jealous about is when it's like, hey, last minute thing, do you want to come? And you can just say yes. Right. Don't even think about it. Yep, I'll be there. But then when you have kids, the life changes. And I always say one of the hardest parts of having kids is going to other kids' birthday parties because you have to make a lot of small talk with parents. And that part can really suck. Especially if your kids like each other, but you don't necessarily like each other and you have to just sit there and talk. You have to. It's the worst. It's the worst. It is the worst. And this weekend I had to throw not one but two birthday parties for both of my daughters. The first year, they would not agree at all on a theme.

I could not find a hybrid between the Los Angeles Lakers and skincare. How old are they? How old are they turned? One turned nine, eight. Hold on. Hold on. One turned eight. I got the wrong balloon. So she turned eight. No, no, she turned nine. She was eight. And the other one turned seven. Okay. and they would not agree on a theme so I had to do one party for one on Friday and one party on Sunday.

Damn.

Both at your house? No, one at my house. And then I've sworn every year, never again at my house. I'm not doing it. 15, 9-year-old kids running around. You can't come back from that. Your house will never be the same. It can never come back. So the other one was not at my house. It was at an arcade bumper car place in the valley. Anyway, the point of it is. My wife was really busy, so she goes, could I count on you to set these up? And I go, you can count on me. You know, if there's one thing you can count on it. I can build a moat in 48 hours. She just gave me a six pack of beer. I'm good. Three friends and a pickup truck and you can count on me. What do we build me? And so she says to me a couple days before, she goes, are there any like balloons on display? I go, we have balloons. They don't need balloons. There's a bumper car. They're going to be on bumper cars. They don't care about balloons. Let me tell you something right now about balloons. No kid gives an F about a balloon. That's an adult thing. It's a flex. And I looked at what it costs to get, you know, she's talking about like a balloon display. Oh, like where it says.

Like an arch.

Like it makes a, oh my God. Those are like hundreds of dollars. Those are ridiculous. Hundreds of dollars. Balloon markup in general has gotten out of control. You're paying for air and latex. Yep. And someone tied to a string. And then they're like, a thousand bucks. And I'm like, no thank you. Goodbye. So I said, or what exactly you're talking about?

She starts to send me pictures and stuff on TikTok and whatever.

And I go, this is crazy. like a thousand bucks and I'm like no thank you goodbye yeah so I said or what are exactly you talking

about she starts sending me pictures of stuff on TikTok and whatever and I go this is

you have any idea what this would cost to be done she's like well you said you were going to do it

well and also TikTok that's in Instagram it's just all an illusion right like this looks great sure

the logistics of making this happen are not worth what you're seeing on this post.

So I said, don't worry, I'm on it.

I go over to Amazon.

I type in Lakers, Los Angeles Lakers balloon display.

For $11, I order from China, what seems like exactly the same picture she was showing me on TikTok. Like they look the same. It's purple. It's gold. My daughter loves the Lakers so she wants a Lakers team. It's got like an inflatable basketball in the middle. I see, I go, and this thing is $11 and one of those on Amazon, I don't know how, but it's in China but supposedly they can have it to me by 5 p.m.

So I'm like, I can get this thing from China to me by 5 p.m. What an America. So I say, hey. And it's like 200 pieces or something. I send her the picture of it, I go, balloons taken care of. And she sees the picture and she goes, oh my God, incredible. thank you.

The envelope arrives in the mail.

It's a padded small envelope.

And I think to myself, how? sure and she goes oh my god incredible thank you the the envelope arrives in the mail it's small
