suicide we said this before our one of
11:47
our episodes say it again cuz I don't
11:48
remember Google suicide by doorknob okay
11:52
I think he was one of them crazy I don't
11:55
understand how many celebrities have
11:57
died by hanging themselves on the door
12:00
knob they can afford door knobs I think
12:01
it was I think he did that I'm not sure
12:03
if it was him so don't I'm just saying
12:04
if those are watching I could be wrong
12:07
but I think he did do it that way but if
12:09
not him there's enough that you Google
12:10
it you'll see how many did do it that
12:12
way it's weird another sense of Anar
12:14
actor dead boy Kate Spade Kate you know
12:17

12:20
purse lady Kate Spade she's also the
12:23

13:23
yeah Lois Lane she did a great job loved
13:25
her as Lois Lane oh oh ver Troyer mini
13:29
me he was 49 I heard it was a small
13:32
funeral another wrestler Bruno San
13:35
Martino he was around we first started
13:36
watching wrestling in the early ' 80s
13:37
he'd already been kind of those on
13:39
Vintage trunks yeah and some vintage
13:42
body hair that is awesome this man did
13:44
not shave and he probably groomed the
13:46
armpit a little bit but but yeah I know
13:47
who he is absolutely good I don't I
13:50
can't wait oh really he died at 82
13:52
though yeah so yeah you L the full like
13:54
I mean he was already a season wrestler
13:55
we watched him in the early ' 80s so
13:57
Italian Superman yep oh you saw him
14:00
wrestle I know sure I'm sure I did
14:02
Barbara Bush RI oh Babs was she a
14:04
doorknob as
14:06
well Anderson Anderson Night Court oh
14:09
yes love nightt remember bull oh yeah
14:12
yeah what he's up to oh AR Le Emery he
14:15
was the guy in the Full Metal Jacket
14:17
drill sergeant oh okay never saw the
14:19
movie but I've seen Clips really yeah oh
14:21
it's quite good uh but anyways yeah he
14:23
was a he actually was the story is is
14:26
that was his first movie and he was the
14:29
set drill instructor like person
14:31
teaching the actor how to be drill
14:32
instructor and Stanley Kubrick was like
14:35
so why don't you just do it because he
14:37
was the other actor wasn't getting it
14:38
and he was nailing it how to be a drill
14:40
instructor cuz he was a drill instructor
14:42
in the military in the
14:43
Marines and so that was his first
14:45
onscreen performance full metal jacket
14:47
and so he played himself and the things
14:50
nothing he said was scripted wow he just
14:52
was drill sergeant to the actors and it
14:55
was just amazing so just that everyone
14:57
that's seen the movie knows exactly what
14:58
I'm talking about just how good he was
14:59
at just tearing these guys apart it
15:01
great you could just actually Google I
15:03
mean um YouTube is sure yelling at the
15:06
the recruits rest in peace oh yeah
15:08
Steven boto you know he did uh NYPD Blue
15:11
was the one show that he did that I did
15:13
watch anyways for what it's worth I did
15:15
like that show Stephen Hawking um yeah
15:17
Steph Hawkins 76 so he he lived a little
15:20
bit longer I guess there's conspiracy
15:22
theories about that Stephen Hawking is
15:25
not Stephen Hawking what that's people
15:27
were just programming things for him to
15:29
say get out of here oh yeah yeah yeah
15:31
yeah and how long he lived with his
15:33
disease that he had most people died a
15:36
lot sooner and so that's like not even
15:39
him that's what that's what people say
15:40
no well my brain was like remember to
15:42
Google this yeah yeah yeah really yeah I
15:46
guess that's about but who was the guy
15:49
who's faking to be that person yeah
15:51
that's weird for the record for the
15:52
worst of the best podcast just because
15:54
we don't know who they are doesn't mean
15:56
they weren't important in somebody's
15:57

somebody that we think was how do we say
19:13
this the one that kind of affected us
19:15
the most sure and then one that we
19:17
that's the worst loss so it's the worst
19:19
loss for us personally and then the
19:20
worst person and then the worst person
19:23
this again is our opinion doesn't mean
19:24
it's true so for worst loss for me
19:28
personally I want to hear your worst
19:29
loss if you have already my worst loss
19:31
is John Mahoney from Fraser I loved
19:34
everything he did in that show and it
19:35
was great without him being the father
19:37
to Frasier and and N crane it wouldn't
19:39
have been the same I love that he gave
19:41
me nine years and plus of watch of
19:44
entertainment and fun so out of this
19:46
list he provided me the most joy uhhuh
19:49
for the longest amount of time and so
19:51
his Lo and his losses is the worst for
19:53
me Reuben in the same vein he didn't
19:55
affect me the same way though I like him
19:57

19:59
thatz Dolores was alcohol was it alcohol
20:02
yeah what ver trer right and Anthony
20:06
Bine and Kate Spade all the suicide all
20:08
those all those things were their
20:11
choices for whatever reason right
20:13
whatever they're dealing with I think
20:15
that's just a loss okay I think my wife
20:17
was say Anthony berain she she was a fan
20:19
of him oh wow you know what I mean like
20:21
it's a sad reason why I lost like with
20:23
cancer you can't do anything with with
20:25
you whatever depression those things
20:28
that lead people to feeling that that's
20:30
the only way to it's very sad it is sad
