Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - Friend Divorce

Episode Date: September 11, 2026

We'll get into an episode of Klein Alley Show in just a moment, but in the meantime, let's tell you about our absolute favorite place on the planet. Yep, that would be San Bernardino International Airport, where you can go through the airport process without waiting in long lines and overpaying for parking. Quick connections to the Bay Area and the world, plus ski and snowboard in Provo from San Bernardino all winter long. Every other airport, you're going to be in long TSA lines, you're going to be miserable, you're going to say, oh, I got to get there two, three hours before my flight.

Not at San Bernardino International Airport. And now we send you on a direct flight into our podcast, which starts right now. Hey, Rock. We are Flying Alley Show. Live for the interaction at 800-520-1067. There's also that GOAT line there, 844-956-GOAT. Hey, Alley. Just got a call.

I'm on my way on to work right now. Odo Accomplishment, 200,000. Whoa! Yeah. That is exciting. You got to take a screenshot. Send it to me. And I will always repost your Otoe accomplishments, especially not only all zeros, but 200,000, a major mile marker.

That means you took care of your car. You got your oil changes. Okay? You did everything that you needed to do. That was all you, my friend. Congrats. Someone has come up with maybe the stupidest idea yet, but I feel like you're going to love this. Hey, you sloggers.

Do you suffer from Otoe FOMO? will fear no more of missing that next Odo accomplishment by the new OdoCam from Allie Johnson. So you can get back to doing important things while you drive, like self-pleasuring yourself on the 101. So if you're too busy self-pleasuring on the 101 like Allie does, that you miss your Odo accomplishments, it'll be a camera that just monitors your Odo,

so you never miss a moment. These dash cams, they're facing the wrong way. They've got to be facing the Odo. It's supposed to be, yeah. You think it's cool to be facing the traffic, and, oh, I saw this accident happen, now I know who's at fault. No, you've got to have that camera right on your dash to make sure that it is on your speed limit and your ODO. We have said before that getting broken up with sucks.

Getting dumped is not a good feeling. We've all been broken up with before. Sometimes you see it coming. Sometimes you're shocked. You're blindsided. I thought things were going well. What are you talking about? It's a not you, it's me situation.

My wife got dumped. By? By not me. I haven't done that yet. It's on my to-do list. Okay. She got dumped by a friend. A longtime friend that she's been friends with since she was five years old.

I think a lot of people listening right now would, if they think about their group of friends, there's probably a friend in their group that they would love to officially kind of part ways with. Yeah, but wouldn't you think that after, you know, since you've been friends for 30 plus years that you are grandfathered in, like you're not allowed to just exit that friendship at that point? that's the thing that holds you though and then you go we don't really have that much in common we don't really like seeing each other we don't actually like to do things but we do have that 30 year connection and it's like family where you're like you're my family i can't cut you out but you can that's the that's the one benefit of not being family family is hard to cut out friends you can cut out but you you know the longer you know the person i mean i get in the same argument my wife a lot too there's people and she's like i know but we i've known her since

we were in third grade i'm like yeah but so what does that mean she sucks sucks well there's a friend of mine that i was friends with since college and she just ghosted after like 20 years of friendship i don't know what happened i still have no closure on like what happened there but it is nice to get a breakup text i guess rather than a breakup text she got a breakup text from the friend saying i've tried this is a two-way street i feel like i'm the one that's pulling all the strings here to try and hang out i feel like at this point we should just cut our losses and call it just call it it's not a friendship anymore uh yeah a long text and then my wife wrote back a very long text and then that's it they have not spoken since then they don't plan

to ever speak again and she's like hey we're done with this person i'm like oh okay we're done did you like this person or no i liked her fine sure you're out you can't hang with her anymore well it's not like i would plan to meet up with her without my wife there or anything like that but yesterday she texted me did you wish so and so a happy birthday it's her birthday today and i was like well no oh the friend that cut you guys out friend that just broke up with her she was gonna send her the generic happy birthday text she wanted she asked me if i did and i was like well why would i talk to this person you've been broken up with that means we have been broken up with and by proxy i'm no longer supposed to speak to this person right had you sent her a happy birthday

text you would have probably gotten yelled at your wife would have said well i told you we're out well you should send her a text and i'm like well is that going to be awkward she's probably not going to respond to me i thought that this was a joint effort if you get broken up with and both of you have been broken up with why would i be the one keeping that relationship i didn't know her since kindergarten i agree that it is hard to find and i know you the argument is if you're true friends it's not about who did what this and who did what that it just naturally falls into place you see each other you have a good time together and maybe you don't see each other for five years and then you end up in vegas together you're like oh man this is the greatest hangover

love this person yeah but the reality is life gets in the way maybe you have kids whatever well and our lives completely change like she's still single no kids lives a very different lifestyle than we do and now i think that we've just kind of parted ways lifestyle wise right so then she feels that you have ignored her snubbed her not invited her to stuff whatever and she said i want out i'm out i'm done to make it official is a strange thing most people would just quietly let it go off into the night yeah let it fizzle well but then you feel like you still have to breadcrumb or be like hey let's get together and you feel like you're trying and i do kind of appreciate the honesty of like i don't i'm not digging this friendship anymore so why don't we

just cut our losses and be done with it because then now this you know my wife and both of us don't have to quote waste our energy not that i thought it was a waste of time but it's like oh if this person doesn't want to be my friend anymore anyway then i'm glad that we don't have to, you know, make an effort if she doesn't want us to do anymore. Especially if at one point you were, quote, best friends forever. Because then you have to, like, declare this forever has now ended. And I'm pretty

sure there are bracelets. Yeah, if you're BFFs, then you have to say to the person... You have a half of a heart somewhere in a box. I'm going to need the half of your heart back, or you're going to have to take mine back. We can't both wear these hearts. Every girl has to do an exchange. We're 35. Why are we still wearing these half of hearts? I had so many of those, by

the way. Those half hearts? I had BFF half hearts from like 20 different people yeah and now they can't even no one's to make decisions anymore i've seen this but they won't even sell just the half hearts they have the heart broken up like five pieces so everyone gets a little piece of it because they can't just have one and then at a reunion you're supposed to put it all back together again so uh that's uh a lot of people say this friend breakup thing is real and there's not really in a we all understand the concept of relationship breakups because we've been through them but the friend breakup is it's a whole different i would argue much more complicated yeah it's weird because you kind

don't need to do nothing needs to be done but if someone feels like they need closure on a relationship and it but a text is okay for a friend right not okay for a lover i probably want to do it in person i would say someone on the text line claims that they just went to the park with their best friend to break up with them of 20 years my ex-friend is a good place i took my ex-friend to the park to break up someone said they just got broken up with over a friendship during uh oh politics i mean there's different things that will break people up right it's sad that that happens but it's also common that you just decide after a certain amount of time hey i don't see eye to eye with this person anymore and i don't really need to have them in my life

well uh ali is down a friend now so i guess or am i but i'm still supposed to wish her a happy birthday she's down to three total so now if you're listening she may need you as her friend we have to take send me a half a heart i'll wear it a break she's so desperate she's got a bunch of half hearts we'll be back after this quick one with your news and then a brand new hour of the show with your tickets and much more after this.
