3:08
the face die hard he was the bad guy in
3:11
Die Hard and he was Snape in the Harry
3:12
Potter films which you have not seen oh
3:16
yeah the the no nose

3:23
the guy with no nose is uh uh Voldemort
3:27
okay yes okay so no yeah for the record
3:30
I've never read the books or seen the
3:32
movies okay so snap was a very popular
3:34
character in the Harry Potter film and
3:35
he's also just a very big actor great is
3:37

3:40
passed in 2016 Tony Burton who played
3:42
Tony the Tony the Duke in the Rocky
3:45
franchise he was Polo Creed and then
3:47

3:54
2016 just before I think he passed away
3:56
just before Creed was released actually
3:58

8:11

8:17
Wonka from a lot of Richard prior uh Duo
8:20
movies you ever see that movie See No
8:22
Evil here no evil Richard prior was
8:24
blind G Wilder was death I saw the movie
8:28
in the theaters oh you yeah I did and
8:31
one of the greatest lines was from
8:32
Richard PRI in that movie that I
8:33
remember was uh he was on a bus of
8:35
course he's already like 50 something
8:37
uhhuh and he's blind
8:40
right it's and somebody said some to
8:43
mentioned to him that he was black and
8:46
he stands up I'm black why did anyone
8:48
tell me I'm black like he's been living
8:50
50 years thinking he wasn't black I
8:53
don't know what he thought he was but he
8:54
wasn't black anyways I don't know why
8:56
this so stupid but it works Richard PRI
8:58
makes it work uh Arnold Palmer the
9:00
golfer whatever Florence Henderson
9:03
Florence Henderson boy I forgot about
9:04
that voice she was a beautiful lady
9:06
incredible mother on Brady Bunch which
9:08
one of the Brady boys did she sleep with
9:10
she slept with her son Greg the oldest
9:13
son oh wow they're not really mother and
9:16
son it's the
9:20
actors but she that her and Greg had a
9:23
love affair and her and her husband on
9:24
the show yes was gay oh really did you
9:27
not know that uh I I know if I knew no
9:30
it's actually legit he was he was he was
9:31
a homosexual man and he was a gay man
9:33
and is he still alive I don't know he
9:35
might be dead actually I actually don't
9:37
know I don't want to you know but what
9:39
what's interesting was is that of course
9:40
this was the time where you didn't
9:42
announce that or come out that way but
9:44
he had a very hard time kissing so if
9:46
you watch The Brady Bunch show their
9:49
kisses are very quick and but he
9:51
actually he was the same way that you
9:53
would have a hard time kissing a guy cuz
9:55
you just aren't attracted to men uhuh he
9:56
just was yeah it's just kind of funny
9:58
how he did the
10:00
it was a really quick pick oh she's
10:02
coming in between me and Peter again
10:04
yeah Fidel

I'm sure she was a chore to be with
10:58
George Michael
11:00
this it still hurts man yeah I know I
11:02

11:05

goodlooking guy and he's talented he's
11:10
nice do you hear what it came out after

11:16
out after his death what's that that he
11:19
gave millions of dollars of Charities
11:21
silently yeah that people I get what
11:25
they did but they kind of broke their
11:26
silent promise on this after he passed
11:28
and that he he paid for a waitress's
11:30
school like he was at the restaurant
11:31
whatever found out through talking with
11:33
the waitress or server I don't know what
11:35
they're called it I anyways the server
11:37
he paid for her tuition for school uh he
11:41
gave money to orphanages just millions
11:44
of dollars he just gave and gave and
11:45
gave yeah nice people do nice
11:49
things without having everybody needing
11:51
to know no he didn't tell people and he
11:54
would tell people please don't say
11:55
anything that I'm doing this I don't
11:56
want that tomorrow oh he worked at a
11:57
soup kitchen yeah that's right he did
11:59
that too yeah crazy I you know it's
12:01
admirable I obviously he had his own
12:03
troubles his own demons but uh yeah uh
12:06
wonderful wonderful singer wonderful
12:08
talent and that smile seems to anyone
12:11
you know anyone that met him I don't
12:12
think anyone ever said a bad word about
12:13
him he's one of those celebrities where
12:15
well I ran to George Michael the other
12:16
day what a what a jerk you just you
12:18
never heard that people did say that
12:20
about Carrie Fisher though yeah car
12:22
Fisher is an interesting one uh she did
12:24
pass away she she's one of those ones
12:27
where I know she's so loved by so many
12:29
from the Star Wars films of course and
12:30
other and other things but she suffered
12:33
from OB obviously she suffered from drug
12:35
abuse uh probably depression and we know
12:37
that she had a troubled childhood um so
12:39
it's unfortunate that a lot of her
12:41
troubles probably stems from her
12:42
childhood yeah and speaking of her
12:45
childhood her mother yeah Debbie
12:47
Reynolds passed away just shortly after
12:48
Carrie Fisher's passing I don't really
12:51
know Debbie Reynolds other than the fact
12:52
that she's Carrie Fisher's Mom that's my
12:54
extent as well okay and lastly we have
12:56
uh the priest from Mash I love the Mash
12:59
yeah William Christopher I probably
13:02
wouldn't know his name but I know the
13:03
face and of course know Mash but I'm not
13:05
all know him from Mash okay yeah but the
13:07
mash was a huge it's like saying you
13:09
know Seinfeld and that's all you need to
13:11
know like mash and Seinfeld are those
13:12
two shows that you just everybody knows
13:15
so these are gone but not forgotten
13:16
Ruben these are the well some are
13:18
forgotten Like Pat Harrington Pat
13:20
Harrington he's to forgotten Robert
13:22
Horton Ken Howard James Noble a lot of
13:25
forgot people oh Rob for passed away who
13:28
Rob Ford Paul the crack Smoky mayor of
13:30
Toronto oh he was 46 did he really die
13:35
yes in 2016 he passed
13:37
away in March I always feel bad for
13:40
those people that have those struggles
13:41
with substance abuse sure so yeah James
13:44
Rob Ford the crack
13:48
smoking that's what the title of them as
13:50
the crack smoking mayor of Toronto 46 he
13:54
looked like he was
13:55
60 he's he's 5 years older than I am
13:58
right now yeah it's crazy sad all right
14:01
so these are the best that died these
14:03
are yeah these are the best of the all
14:05
the Death see you guys made the
14:07
congratulations so out of the household
14:09
names that we've disc discussed how how
14:12
are you coming up with your criteria of
14:13
the worst the best Ro for this one how
14:16
are you doing this I've got mine I'm
14:18
split okay my my original criteria is
14:21
who's actually like the worst person so
14:24
you're in a way you're almost saying
14:25
they're the worst who am I the least
14:27
affected by their death in a way is that
14:29
what you're saying if there were if all
14:31
the people were still alive today right
14:33
and someone said pick the worst one in
14:35
the room right the worst human being
14:38
well then I know who you're going for
14:39
right away Florence
14:42
Henderson yeah she was a
14:44
beast well so what's your criteria for
14:47
that well what's your criteria on that
14:48
one then criteria of the worst no but
14:51
who's your worst of of these deaths
14:52
Fidel Castro yeah so yeah and because he
14:57
celebrated I just want to bring a little
15:00
trivia to him oh the population of
15:03
Russia Stalin's Russia right and Cuba
15:06
it's different but the ratio of death
15:09
under the dictator is about the same
15:12
okay over 500,000 Cubans have gone
15:15
through uh jail not because they really
15:18
committed crimes right yeah yeah and
15:20
100,000 people have died from him like
15:22
that's a lot
15:23
of it's not a good person yeah so I
15:26
would say if you're such a good leader
15:28
people wouldn't be fle being willing to
15:30
drown their family you know what I mean
15:33
so yeah of the uh of the worst the best
15:35
Des I'd have to say yes he is the worst
15:37
of these best deaths okay and I thought
15:39
that might be a little a bit of a bummer
15:41
right so I thought let's not dwell on
15:45
Fidel okay though he made a lot of great
15:48
t-shirts now I would argue this flip it
15:51
who was the one that affected you the
15:53
worst of the best deaths who was the
15:55
worst to die yeah so that's the other
15:57
way we can flip this so the worst person
15:59
the die of the best death was Fidel now
16:01
the flip it who's the one that stung you
16:04
the most when they died in 2016 stunned
16:07
the most or I'm bothered the most what
16:10
do you mean by that like I for okay let
16:13
me pick mine I'm going with George
16:15
Michael I was a huge fan of his in my
16:16
youth I listened to the pride without
16:18
prejudice in the faith albums like
16:19
religiously I was like you know I was
16:21
like a teenage Fanboy of this guy I
16:23
loved his music loved his style Lov his
16:25
like just he was like you wanted to be
16:28
cool like George Michael you wanted to
16:29
be as handsome as George Michael when he
16:32
passed it was like the my that was one
16:33
of the on and he's only he was only like
16:36
52 and so he's only like 11 years older
16:38
than I am and so it really like whoo
16:41
this is somebody from my youth just gone
16:43
like that somebody I I looked up to and
16:45
idolized and it just reminded me of my
16:47
youth and how precious life really is
16:49
and I was like okay that one really
16:51
stung cuz it's just it's over whatever
16:53
he did is always is always going to be
16:55
the past there will never be a future so
16:56
that was the one that affected me the
16:57
most in 2016 that's the one that
16:58
affected me the most okay so that's my
17:00
worst and I kind of almost agree with
17:03
you here's the thing I love George
17:05
Michael and I also like the singer
17:06
George Michael that was an ared
17:08
development joke okay got it yeah but
17:11
it's been a while since he's put out
17:13
anything commercially sure absolutely
17:14
yeah well he retired from music yeah so
17:17
affected the most in the sense of their
17:19
career okay Gary shanding okay because
17:24
jokes he was there's no more new jokes
17:26
no but all the George Michael songs that
17:28
we been written and sung fair enough so
17:31
Gary Shanley that that kind of bummed me
17:33
out he was alone when he died uh he just
17:36
did commun car getting coffee I just
17:39
kind of bothered that you can be funny
17:41
forever but making a pop song Forever
17:43
doesn't really last yeah that's good so
17:45
for me Gary Shanley I give that an
17:47
honorable mention he's going to be
17:48
missed I think we're uh time to say hey
17:51
now hey now well Riven this has been fun
17:54
this is episode 6 remember to uh review
