Klein/Ally Show: The Podcast - Klein's Dead Neighbor

Episode Date: October 6, 2026

We'll get into an episode of Klein Alley's 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've 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. Kay Rock, Klein Alisha. Something you don't want to necessarily see when you go back to your house is something that I remember telling you guys about a few months ago when I saw the corners van outside of the house across the street for me. And that's not usually a good sign. It's very rarely. Or is it? Fresh new real estate. Well, it's funny you say that because that's the thought I had.

First I thought, oh, there was an old lady who lived by herself in that house for a long time. And I never really had conversation with her. The leaves lady. The leaves lady. She would sweep up the street. She felt it was her duty to keep all the leaves off the street, and that's an impossible job. You'll never win that game. You're always going to lose to the leaves.

Quiet old lady, though, is a great neighbor. Quiet old lady is maybe the best neighbor to have. And I didn't really, as I said, nothing more than just a couple of waves. And she would, and my kids would be like, she's out there sweeping again. And I would be like, yeah, she knows her place. She probably is good also at peering and seeing if there's any suspicious activity in the neighborhood. I think she was almost too old for that. But she'd been there for a long time.

I mean, she apparently was like the first. one on the street in the history of the street. Like I think she was there before the street was even paved. Before the trees. Yeah, I think they built the street around her. Before there were leaves to sleep. So, uh, I told you I came home. I saw the, I had my kids in the car.

They get out of the car. There's a big van. And then at that exact moment, they start wheeling that body bag stretcher out. And I'm like, yeh. Because at first I go, oh, maybe it's a false alarm. Maybe it's okay. My first thought was maybe this is, this is how messed up I am. When I first saw the truck, I thought it was a food truck.

I go, oh, this is cool. What is corn? It is your dog. I was like, there's a corn food truck here. This is amazing. I was so excited. I was like, I wonder if they have cattle corners. Mexican corn or something.

Yeah, it's going to be all sorts of different corns. And then I was so disappointed when I realized not that's not a kind of food truck at all. It's a coroner truck. So they wheel her in and that's game over for her. Do you happen to know, like, was she there for days or something? I don't know any of the story about it. I don't think anyone does, but I knew that that house had been sitting there for a while, touched and I thought to myself, probably if I was a smart businessman, I would say, how do I get in and get this property and flip it or whatever people do on?

Right, because you get inside information. Right. I knew I was there first, right? Well, I didn't do anything about it. And as of yesterday, I got home and I saw maybe the second worst thing you can see other than a body being pulled out of a house, which is a giant bulldozer that has now started the process of smash, smash, smashing. Oh. And they're just... You're going to tear the entire house down? Ripping it. It's already... God, her kids loved her, huh?

It is being ripped down. That's nuts. Which is terrible for so many reasons if you live next to construction. And it's hard to not everywhere because it feels like everywhere in Southern California is constantly being knocked down and rebuilt. But to be across from that now, I mean... That is step zero in a very long. Long. If you're noticing now that it's being torn down, you've got at least two years of construction across the street from your house.

At least. I mean, that's best... scenario. That's if all the permits get done and everything. And we all know how that process usually goes, which is never on time. So it's just that, you know, I always knew the guy behind me who's a hoarder. I always knew that at some point

he's going to tap out and they're going to knock that thing down. I think I'm going to be sandwiched between two construction jobs. Wow. Listen, I know your wife is the queen of moving. I don't blame her in this situation. Don't do not put that in her head, dude. I am telling you, dude. I would totally move. The last time we moved.

It's been night and day, man. It's because the neighbors put up a sign. That notice of demolition sign went up, and the next day, she's like, we got to go. We got to move. I can't live next to construction again. And we've lived next to construction. Everywhere we've gone, we've been next to construction. We've never not been next to construction.

Yeah, but here's the thing. You've got to wait it out. And then you won't be near construction. Yeah, but if you just move again, then you're just biding your time until the next construction sign goes up. With kind's luck, the construction's going to go on for two years, and then his back neighbor who's going to pass away or something and the construction is going to start all over again.

Or I can see this happen because one time we moved next to a place that had already been done. I even said to myself I shouldn't have said it but I said oh this is great. There's only a house on one side and it was recently done and the guy that went in there for whatever reason didn't like the way it was done and decided

to knock it down and start fresh. I don't know these people are that treat like houses like it's a board game. Like a pimple. Yeah let's just start over. Let's just start this right again. I don't like the color of the outside. You just fold up the board. It's like it's gotten, it's really terrible. And then that is, and I know that, you know, I always made fun of Jake

because he always thought living next to a cemetery would be a good move in general. And I think that's a weird person that would ever want to live next to a cemetery. But Jake's on to something because. How many times do those get redone? Never. Never. And you know what you can also expect is tons more rats. That's the other thing. Yes. Because as soon as that construction starts lifting up all the weird things that are living underneath that house,

going to come right across the street. All the stuff. The rats, the termites, everything that, every problem that house had, which I'm sure was a ton because I think was old, really old. They need something to eat and they're going to eat you. They're just going to move next closest option, which is us. So that's... Construction workers, taking

huge deuses and the porta potty outside. That's another good point. That heat wave porta potty just got set up. You got orange cones everywhere, so you're not going to have parking. That's non-stop cars. They take off so many cars. You know what the worst part of construction is, though. It's not the sound of the machines. It's the backing up of the

machines. Like when you leave the studio? Yes. The same sound. I hear that. I finally get out here. I hear Ali beeping all day when she's backing up because allmer, every time Ali backs out of the studio. That is the worst sound of all. Omar has to let us know she's backing up because she's so large you can't see behind her now. And I get home, finally, I get to clear my head and it's just more of that beeping. It's nonstop beeping. I think we can all agree. And I think that society would agree that we should, I know there's probably a rule that they have to have that loud beep to let people know. There it is. Can't we all agree

as a society, it's Darwinism at its finest, if you get backed over because you can't possibly fathom a giant truck coming at you, said one mile an hour? We've all replaced our phone sounds with vibrations. Right. And we know that it's happening. That's how I wake up now through vibration. I don't have any kind of sounded alarm. So our ears are changing, and I think we need to change construction trucks to do the same.

Team vibrator. There you go. That's what I want the truck to say. I don't pay attention to that. But I also wonder if, because somebody on the text line 714 was asking about that ghost scary woman? Yes. Do you think she has something to do that she put a hex on you and now there's going to be construction all around you and that is your curse? It's a terrible curse if it was put upon me. But it's such a funny one.

It's not funny. It's really got, I mean, I'm like five for five in places I've lived in this town where within a year of me moving there, construction has begun. And Omar, you've been in the same place a long time. Never had this? I have not. Okay. I must be nice. Must be nice, Omar.

Must be nice. Take a break. Come back in a moment. When we return, we have your news. Then a brand new hour of the show will begin. We have your tickets to hop on a standby boarding list to travel to a castle. Oh, that must be nice. That castle.

No construction there. It's the same build. Been around forever. Until it burns down. Well, build. Get out. Oh, no.
