Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - Ally's Flight and Celebrity Sighting

Episode Date: August 3, 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. Now it's time to get into a brand new episode of Klein Alley Show. K-Rock, we are Klein Alley Show.

If you didn't see Spider-Man this weekend, you're probably the only person. But don't worry, because Moise Joyce was there. And she will go ahead and give you the low-budget version of Spider-Man, where she recreates the entire movie in about 20 seconds. So if you want to feel like you're a part of the conversation with all your friends, they'll be talking about it. They brought in like $400 million this weekend. And we will let you feel like you've experienced it in moments.

and that will be presented on KROQ and Dolby Surround Sound. You know, I hate to admit this. It's a hard thing to say. But unlike Cenk, I can admit it and say I was wrong and you were right, Klein, about something that was said last week. Oh, this makes me so happy. About what? So many things were said that you tell me at the time, I'm crazy.

Usually you come crawling back with this exact statement, so go ahead. You suggested that this was going to be the way it turned out, and in this case it turned out exactly that way i last week told you that i was going to get on an airplane and i was flying to visit my mom in colorado the books the booking was weird where katie and wesley were supposed to be sitting together i had a seat by myself your son and your wife were together you were far away on the plane and i said uh this is a great situation for you they were in row five i was in row 25 but a window so second to last row but window by myself and my debate was should i even say anything should i just take that seat by myself should

i try and find a way for us to sit together and you said i think what's probably going to happen is that you are going to switch with your wife and you're going to end up having to sit with your kid i said she'll pull the jedi mind trick on you and somehow do what she always does with that therapist brain where she convinces you it's your idea and then you're gonna next thing you know sitting with the kid and she's gonna have the seat to herself yes exactly and that's what happened that's exactly what happened so predictable i can't believe it as i said it you're like that's not happening well i don't know what's gonna happen but it's not gonna be that i'm like of course it's gonna be that she unknowingly set the scene early that day saying i think i got

the worst night's sleep of my life i'm so tired i think i was up every single hour and this is going badly. It was one of those things where she was just setting up that she was in horrible shape. This is what she's doing. She didn't even know that we weren't sitting together. How did she do this? She must have known. It's insane. She's got that insight and she goes just on the off chance or something wonky with these seats on the airplane. I want to go ahead and paint the picture. I think I'm coming down with something. It was all of the excuses that you use for work all in one. So by the time we were about to board, I was It's like, you know, we're technically not sitting together.

So you didn't even bring it up until you got to the airport. No. You waited until they said, all right, boarding group. We were at the boarding area, yeah. And then you said, oh, man, look at this. I said, by the way, we're not sitting together. One person is with Wesley and one person is alone. And she was like, oh.

And her first response was, why don't we go to the ticket counter and ask if we can all be seated together. That's all part of the Jedi mantra. She didn't mean that. And I went and they said, well, you can all three sit together, but it would be the very last row of the plane. Mm-hmm. And I said, no, I don't want that. I don't want to be right by the bathroom. It's less like the row five that had the extra leg room.

So I'm not going to give that up. There was nobody. You were right. There was nobody that wanted to switch with 25F. No, no one wants that. So we even talked to a couple of people before we boarded. They didn't want to switch. How did that conversation?

Well, there was a guy at the counter and he was trying to get a new seat assignment. He was like, wait, where are you sitting? We're like 25F. He's like, no, no, I'm good. I mean, I know people get real precious about this. Like, if it's just a, what is it, two-hour, three-hour flight? Yeah. It's not cross-country.

It's halfway cross-country. No, no, it's two and a half hours. That's not a third of the country. So I said, you know what? You just take it. Just take the seats. You can nap. Oh, you cave so quick.

Hey, I did think to myself, I think this will be better with the extra leg room. My kid's pretty good on planes. This is fine. You know what? You're going to have him by yourself for the next five days when I'm at work. So it's fine. Just take it. But, Allie, you're on duty.

If you have a kid on a plane, especially a young, young kid, you're on duty the whole time. Unless you throw on the iPad and say. Yeah, you know who's on duty? iPad. Oh, okay, great. Paw Patrol games. You made the right call then. Yeah, at that point.

Oh, yeah. A little Paw Patrol, a little coloring, back to Paw Patrol. We're there. All right, so you didn't have to do anything, really. No, and I got to board first because I was group five and she was group eight. So she's sitting on the, you know, it takes her forever to board. Then she realizes she has a seat kicker behind her. Only one seat behind her on the whole planet.

It's a kicker. And it's a kid kicker. And she's also next to a really loud storytelling old man. So she got a pretty bad setup and not any extra leg room. And I didn't realize that on Southwest, they give you extra snacks when you're in row five. You get the extra leg room and they gave us three different snacks. We got the crab pretzels, pistachios, and Mexican cookies. Who do they think they are giving out pistachios?

Those are fancy nuts. Very fancy. You're giving out fancy? My kid had never tried one before. I was like, this is a pistachio, okay? I will never buy these. You're never going to see this again. So try it now.

Enjoy this moment, courtesy of Southwest Airlines, because our house is peanuts, kid. Now, we did have a bit of a delay, and they said that they were checking some kind of an issue, and then I heard later that it was no problem at all. It was just the engines. Oh, man. That's the biggest issue. So I was like, hey, at least I think, is the front of the plane most likely to survive or is the back of the plane? I forget.

Depends. I was thinking about this as we had made our choices. Depends which way the engines explode, I guess, right? I guess you're right. So we are about to take off, and then I notice that also on my flight is a celebrity couple sitting just a couple rows behind me. Hold on. Before you use the term celebrity, because we know your gauge is so off, Allie's biggest A-lister she could think of was Joshua Jackson. So my question for you is, when you say celebrity couple, are they A-list celebrity couple?

B-list? I would say... If you put them in boarding group form, what boarding group would the celebrity couple be in on Southwest? God. A? Beginning of B. The beginning of B. Front row of B.

Celebrity couple. They were traveling with family. So both of them are famous. Both of them in the couple are famous? Both of them were separately famous and they married each other. Now, do they sit together or do they also separate by 20 rows like you? They were sitting together and they enjoyed the pistachios and the Mexican cookies. And that probably was not the only time they've had pistachios.

I was pretty impressed that they were slumming it on a commercial airline that doesn't have any classes. There's no first business. This is just there with everybody else. I respected that. I sat next to Idris Elba on a Southwest plane one time. At least I think it was. Or a guy that looked like him. A and B listers are taken Southwest.

Yeah, I flew a Kirsten Dunst. Yeah. See that? Everyone's Southwest in it. Celebrities are just like us. They also wait to the last possible second. It's the only flight they can get. It's a boarding group eight.

This is also leaving out of Burbank. So I think there's also a higher celebrity sighting there. Celebrity couple on your flight. And you're sure this was actually the couple? It was. Yeah, it was. Okay. No, because I went to the bathroom with her afterwards.

So I was able to get a good look. Did you have to go to the bathroom or did you do the thing where you do where you say, oh, I'm going to sit here and look at your iPad, kid. I'm going to go stalk the celebrity in the bathroom. No, no, no. It was after we had de-planed. Oh, okay. In the airport, everyone headed for the bathroom and I was in the bathroom with her and I got

a really good look. So I knew, I know it's her. What is the guy in the couple famous for? He's been in movies and his brother is also famous. Uh-huh, uh-huh. And she is in shows and movies. You think I'll know who they are when you say it or not? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. You will. Because you brought up a couple things last week where you're like, you know that song. Everyone loves this number one hit song. Hey, a lot of people reached out to me about that. See the movie once. Song I've never heard. Falling slowly hit song.

It was the star from once. Is that who was next to you on the plane? He'd already died in a motorcycle accident. Back to that stupid movie. What was I next to him in the bathroom? God, I have no idea. I thought it was going to be athlete famous, so I was thinking athlete. Both movie and TV famous.

Actually, yeah. I don't know about the guy, exactly what he's in, but it was, any guesses? I got nothing. I don't even know a celebrity couple. I stopped caring five minutes ago. Okay. Me too, Jake. Me too.

Alison Brie and Dave Franco. Who? Alison Brie? You know who they are, client. The cheese? Stop it. Did she make the cheese? You are just trying to be a bitch.

You don't know who Alison Brie is or Dave Franco? No, Alison Brie is from Community and- And Glow and- I know James Franco, obviously. James Franco is like a big... Yeah, Dave Franco is his brother. Oh, Allie. And they're married.

Okay. They're a big celebrity couple. Don't curse and dunst. Allison Brie. You're putting them at the front of the B boarding group? Yes. In the world of celebrity couples? They are front of B.

You disagree with me? You know who Allison Brie is. I know who the Franco brother is. You know who both of the Franco brothers are. Dave Franco. Yeah. Was that... He looked like a little twink, by the way.

He's really small. Was that the guy in... No, that's his brother. I can't think of it. I acknowledge that his brother is more famous. And Alice and Chaney? Alice and Brie. You know who they are.

Don't make little jokes. Omar, is this a B-list celebrity couple? Yes, absolutely. She's definitely B-list. Probably C-list, maybe. Not C, dude. She's B. Bro, none of these shows or movies are, like, stuff that people actually watch and talk about.

People love GLOW. Community? Are you kidding me? What's together? What's community? What's freelance? What's community? What's Master of Universe?

Master of Universe. Oh, it's the new He-Man movie. I'm excited. Did that come out yet? She's been in a million things. All right. So, yeah. Okay.

And you had better seats than they did? I had better seats than Alison Brie and Dave Franco, which I thought was pretty cool. That's a flex for Ali. That's a flex for me. I ate the pistachios right in her face. um someone said dave franco was in 21 jump street that's a big sighting ali big sighting yeah okay allison brie was just evil on masters of universe so now people are saying that ali's celebrity gauge is back on right all right it's not a celebrity couple the best part about this

is that that probably bothered because your wife is way more into that than you are so i feel like that probably bothered her more than anything she's now back to the plane yeah and she made I'm sure she washed her hands right next to Alison Brie. Of course. She was going to make a bangs joke, but decided not to. It's probably a smart move, right? So clearly, eventful weekends all over the place. 6-2-6 saying mid-B.

Middle of the B group. Mid-middle of the B boarding group? Yeah, I could see that. But at least some people have heard of some of them, which is a win for you.
