Ruben Reuben this is my favorite time of the year for the [ __ ] by far this is our
1:03
absolute favorite topic that we do I love

1:22
disclaimer to all the uh listeners of our show who have who might be loved ones if these celebrities who listen to

1:41
ruin will never make a list of any ways should perform when we die no these are
1:46
the best that died we're gonna pick who was the worst one out of the this list
1:52
that's right the worst one could be somebody that we felt was the the
1:57
hardest loss for us personally as a fan or we just think might be the worst
2:03
individual I.E we did that one year we I think Castro was on one year whatever list and we said that that was you know
2:09
that's an example of a somebody that we didn't miss but we thought was the maybe the worst individual so we'll just see
2:14
how this list goes so this is the worst of the best podcasts this is our annual Celebrity Death podcast these are the
2:21
most notable deaths of the year in Hollywood we are to pick our worst from the best death so thank you to these
2:27
people who have died this year uh we will say if anyone dies between now of this recording and the actual end of
2:33
this year we might have to do a quick little put this way the individual has to make the worst cut so it have to be
2:38
like a some sort of subsidiary insert edit and like Tom Cruz
2:44
dies that would be a really sucky loss that's not a worst person that be a su if you're on Dancing With the Stars you

7:51
backstage is when we're all in the dressing rooms and they put all the Broadway girls together and then we had
7:57
uh there was one well now this year we had whoopy Goldberg in our dressing room
8:04
and yes and I you know your drummer Steve Jordan goes to her same Barber
8:09
well those names just know okay well she's 97 Gone Too Soon too soon Albert
8:16
finny you know him scroll down a little bit so so I can see him oh that is him
8:22
younger picture of him of course Albert Finny the British Oscar nominated actor who starred in movies like Tom Jones
8:27
Aaron Brockovich the born movies and also so my favorite probably that he was in was the little fish Tim Burton movie
8:34
big little fish big fish big sorry Big Fish he played you and McGregor or his dad in that movie yeah that was a good
8:41
movie yeah very popular actor yeah he died he was 82 another full life so Ron Miller passed away now I
8:49
don't really know him by name I mean I've heard the name but of course he was the former president and CEO of the Walt
8:54
Disney Company and the son-in-law of the of company founder Walt Disney quite the
8:59
connection yeah no kidding e imagine marrying into the Disney Company yeah it's crazy oh yeah who's the boss
9:07
remember who's the boss yes yes so that was Katherine helmond she was a
9:12
character actress who Rose to Fame in the 70s and 80s with rolls on the sitcom Soap and who's the boss and she also
9:19
appeared in Terry gilliams Brazil she died February 23rd the age of 89 so another full life she was old on who's
9:26
the boss in the 80s at least I thought she was the grandmother who still had her Mojo she was always
9:33
dating younger men and that sort of thing oh [Applause]
9:45
yeah holy moly I wasn't
9:50
ready well it's Mona the Magnificent Watch Out Fort
9:55
Lauderdale no wonder that's where the boys are thank you hi hi Mother you're wearing a
10:04
bathing suit what how did it get on
10:12
me I just man it isn't it a little revealing I certainly hope
10:19
so no mother I meant you know your delicate skin you know how you burn well
10:25
I'll only wear it at night dear good yeah she was like the character from
10:30
Golden Girls who still had it going on uh yeah yeah she died this year again my math uh
10:37
she died in 2019 at the age of 89 so how old was she and who's the boss
10:44
she was close to 50s something but that's only 10 years older than I am it's just so weird to think men and
10:50
women in their 50s now that's nothing in the dating scene that's very common weird but back in the 80s you know a 55
10:57
58y old grandmother dating you know that quite the uh quite quite the comedy bit that lasted for a few seasons on the
11:02
who's the boss well you know just got funnier as she got older right because the older she guesss the less likely she
11:08
would have the little beo but it just keeps going now I had to look this guy up his
11:13
name is Andrew BR he was a documentary filmmaker he was only 46 when he passed away March 3rd
11:20
but he was the cameraman on the Oscar winning doc free solo did you ever that movie on Netflix I did see it I didn't
11:26
watch it it stresses me out too much yes yeah uh so free solo is about a rock
11:34
climber Alex hanold on his quest to perform a free Soul climb of elaton yeah
11:41
the idea of him climbing without I guess any safety equipment that's insane like
11:46
if he's climbing because he's there's a prize at the top like if you climb this
11:51
when you get the top you'll cure disease go for it but if you're climbing for no
11:58
other reason than to climb without any safety equipment does nothing for me he was just the cameraman he wasn't the
12:04
climber I did a quick Google search on him and okay his death Ruben tragic it
12:10
was U it's hard to find information on but I think he got kidnapped really he
12:15
swallowed his memory card at one point while in custody there's a bit of a mystery behind his death no we're going
12:22
to research it more later I'm sorry I'll just Google Andrew brand and I've got to do some research on this guy because
12:29
there seems to be something mysterious about his death yeah right here his cause of death was not released Sunday
12:35
when this report was made but it did come out eventually he he survived B of
12:41
serious depression throughout his life uh he he had a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease combined with other
12:47
circumstances appears to result in in a decision to take his own life so suicide that's too bad I read a story
12:53
really quickly like a headline where he swallowed a memory card while I guess in custody of some sort anyways
12:59
all right interesting too bad I know I've heard of the band Prodigy but I couldn't name you the lead singer's name
13:05
but lead singer Prodigy Keith Flint died he was found dead yeah yeah that's
13:10
that's sad I believe it's also suicide I'm the fire
13:16
starter I'm the one infected with [Music]
13:23
my I'm a fire starter fire starter
13:31
the fire St time Twisted fire [Music]
13:42
time that's what you know really what I know all right Luke Perry Luke was a
13:49
Luke was a huge part of uh of of our n or20 family and uh personally Luke was a
13:54
very uh very large part of my life uh personally uh all the time um so it's um
14:01
it's obviously very difficult to to do this without him that's a tough one
14:06
March 5th he was 52 that's only eight years and 10 years older than you rub
14:12
yeah uh a friend of mine was in a bar in Vancouver he's with some friends and he
14:18
spotted Luke Perry there because Luke's Perry's sister works at the bar he oh
14:24
that's Luke Perry anyways all his friends went around said hi then luk Perry's like who told
14:29
that I was here type of thing any he bought him around oh Luke wasn't mad oh
14:35
no no very very nice oh cool he seems like a nice person uh it seems like
14:40
everyone that knew him it was a it was a real loss you never heard any garbage on this guy that I can remember he was a
14:46
good actor yeah it's one of those cash 22s he was popular because of that TV show Beverly Hills 90210 which I watched
14:54
and I enjoyed but it sometimes it can typ cast you like any popularity thing yeah this was a stroke by the way he
15:00
suffered a stroke stroke of bad luck King Kong Bundy
15:06
Ruben from Atlantic City New Jersey weighing
15:12
458 lbs King Kong
15:17
Bund WWE is set in to learn of the passing of Christopher Allen py known to
15:24
the WWE universe as the legendary King Kong bunny
15:30
on the highway of life I'm a Mac Truck and when you're a Mac Truck you don't need any road manners a mountain of a man Bundy's
15:37
colossal size and strength helped him dominate his opponents as he stood toe
15:43
to- Toe with some of the industry's biggest stars Devastation himself King Kong
15:49
Bundy he looks like a bus coming down a oneway street look at the power of this
15:54
[Applause] man I love K Kong Bundy yes remember we
16:00
had the a bendy of them it was my toy by the way it was it yes it was and I loved it I had a King Kong Bundy wrestling toy
16:07
as a kid and I stretched and I banged I beat it I I truly truly loved the King Kong bunny wrestling toy thanks Mom and
16:14
Dad his real name Ru was Christopher Allen piz he was just 61 61 that's it
16:20
yeah well unfortunately it seems like wrestlers do not live very long no it's not a profession that has longevity this
16:27
this the guy that got shot outside a store nipy hustle I don't I don't know
16:32
because there is an interesting tinf foil hat conspiracy on this guy so nipy hustle is a rapper I don't know the name
16:39
and I wouldn't know him from anything other than the fact he did when he did make the news I I went on a little bit of a web search about him because he was
16:46
shot while outside a store out in public this is where nipy hustle was killed outside his clothing store in South La
16:53
the gunman opened fire at close range then jumped in his getaway car as soon as news broke about the shooting fans
17:00
gathered here outside the store and they're still here today he was doing so much for the community he was an artist
17:06
that that really cared and that really always came back to where he was rooted from a mysterious video has surfaced of
17:13
a young man claiming responsibility for the shooting police are not saying
17:18
whether the video is a credible lead and apparently he was working on a documentary exposing child pedophilia I
17:25
think I heard of this guy actually yeah that rings the bell and if you want to put your tinfo hat on
17:31
I mean there was uh people like Chester Bennington was working on U child pornography exposure and so was the lead
17:39
singer sound garden Chris Cornell this is tinfo has stuff boys and girls and I don't mean to get there but we've
17:44
dabbled in a little bit you can Google nopy hustle and documentary and you'll see he was working on something to that
17:49
effect now is it two related who knows causation correlation who knows rest in
17:55
peace brother sorry for your loss and your family's loss this one was interesting a very young 51y old
18:00
director John Singleton he was Oscar nominated director for boys in the hood and he also did 2000s remake of shaft
18:07
and too fast to Furious from The Fast and Furious movie so he was you know big Hollywood director sure how how did he
18:13
die H he was only 51 stroke another stroke and it's about the same age as
18:18
Luke Perry it's weird I actually rewatched boys in the hood recently maybe it's after his death or something
18:24
but I actually watched it uh like four months ago yeah it doesn't hold up very
18:29
well in many ways it's a very weirdly directed film in some ways but but at the same time it's actually quite good
18:35
Larry fishburn's in it Cub goody Jr pre J McGuire's in it but not a bad film
18:41
it's just some bad directions he was very young when when he directed I think he was 21 or something 22 wow yeah Peter

21:31
that Grumpy Cat was going to be in a documentary uh about
21:37
exposing I don't want to make a joke about pedophilia oh I was hoping that you just

27:39
something you've seen them before on TV right he throws confetti
27:46

27:53
down the aisle and he throws confetti why why is okay own time Google
27:59
Rip Taylor you'll see him throw now him throwing the cetti does that did that lengthen his career or shorten it I'm
28:06
not sure but that's what he's best known for if I was a comedian I'd rather be known for some jokes you know the actor
28:13
Robert Forster yeah yeah he was a character actor best known for Twin Peaks and he had an Oscar nominated
28:19
performance in Quinton Tarantino's Jackie Brown he BR well a lot of quent
28:25
Tarantino fans such as myself or people people who follow Tarantino feel that Jackie Brown's kind of his worst movie
28:34
but a bad Tarantino film is is the Oscar nominated film yeah and that's the thing
28:39
it's a lot of people just find Jackie Brown to be his least loved even though there are a lot of people who love it
28:45
but if you were to rank the Tarantino films which you'll probably have to do one day yeah that usually falls on the

there's a whole whole thing for K-pop right unfortunately there's been quite a
31:03
few deaths in K-pop I've read a little bit about K-pop and the kind of work they go through and it's yeah very
31:09
tragic just 28 years old 28 I don't know where from Adam still under investigation she was found dead in her
31:15
home yeah interesting oh here's a loss right
31:20
here yeah Carol spinny who played the Beloved children's character Big Bird on
31:25
Sesame Street for over 50 years Ruben how did it make you feel when pigeon was uh was mean to you and said you couldn't
31:31
be in the club oh it wasn't very nice it made me feel bad I just wanted to be
31:37
part of the club and so what did I just wanted them to like me I know and what did you do then well uh Elmo and and and
31:46
Abby saw that I was in trouble so they went and got an adult oh yes cuz an adult needs to be brought in when
31:52
something like this happens and blue J why did you go along with pigeon pigeon was not being nice and you were very quick to side against your friend Big
32:00
Bird why did you do that I I wanted Big Bird to join the club but I was afraid that if I said something I might get
32:06
kicked out of the club or maybe I'd be bullied he died just this December 8th
32:12
in his Connecticut home spinny was also a more traditional Puppeteer behind the trash can dwelling monster OS the Grouch
32:19
he was 85 wow he was The Man Behind the the big bird suit eh yeah love that
32:24
character Big Bird what kind of animal is Big Bird I mean like other than a bird uh a big one now you might not know
32:31
who this is but this is Rene okay always think that I don't like Star Trek I did think that Ruben correct me please I
32:38
like Star Trek I always forget how to pronounce
32:44
this guy's name Renee AUA Arona Rene obena I the B and the J
32:53
and the second o are silent really I just made it up okay reneo bear and Juan
33:00
so he played Odo anyone that knows deep space n at all he's Odo and I'm saying his name wrong reneo bears and ju he
33:06
also was in the Siri Benson that we watched as kids we watched Benson and he was in he was in the mash film so he
33:14
suffered from lung cancer but he was 79 so R be and one there you go this most
33:20
recent one Ruben uh sucks this is Mary Frederickson she was the sweetest singer with the pop Duo rock set you've made
33:27
fun of me for liking Rock said on this very show yep who's the last laugh now um I'm not
33:36
sure not her yeah so she had a 17-year battle with cancer that's terrible yeah
33:43
of course we know she had the big songs it must have been [Music]
33:50
love [Music] must now
33:56
[Music]
34:03
it must
34:10
[Music]
34:19
[Applause] [Music] been that one's always brought up she has incredible voice the band rock at
34:28
over 80 million albums sold worldwide did you listen to rock set again after she died I didn't actually I didn't too
34:35
painful no um I will go back to them but I I don't do that with artists when they
34:40
die I didn't do it with Tom Petty I didn't rush back I joked about it saying it's too hard but in a weird way it's
34:45
like when a band breaks up in excess for example yeah when Michael hutches died
34:51
it took me oh years years to listen to them again I just actually started listening to them again
34:58
because it's been so long since his death like 20 years now and I started listening to him on YouTube just out of
35:03
nostalgia because in excess re-released their 1991 concert live baby live and theaters for a day only so I went back
35:10
and watched on YouTube and I was like oh my goodness I can't believe I like I forgot how good they are yeah so when she passed it's the
35:17
same thing it's kind of like it's hard when somebody dies that shouldn't be dead yet if that makes sense and it's
35:23
just too soon to go back I know I find it hard to listen to the music when I'm a man uh same when like when Heath
35:30
Ledger passed he's another one where it's hard for me to go back and watch his movies like because it's it's over
35:36
even though you should still enjoy what they've done it's a weird that's all you're going to get it's over so you
35:41
kind of hold on to the memory I don't know that's just the way I've cop with people that I've enjoyed in art and the
35:46
most recent one of note is Danny Alo he was the Oscar star of do the right thing and moon struck he was in Godfather Part
35:52
Two he was also Once Upon a Time in America the purple Ros of Cairo big big time actor been lots of stuff he died at
35:59
the age of 86 so there you go and I hope our listeners aren't too bored it's not our fault that bigger Stars didn't die
36:05
this yeah we we did all that we could in the year death there wasn't that many big stars compared to previous years go
36:12
back and listen to our previous episodes on the celebrity desk and there were some bigger years I think for this list I'm not going to really pick the worst
36:18
person because we don't have any Fidel Castro we strictly took a Hollywood's notable desk we didn't take any other
36:24
political figures or names or anything like that uh or anyone that was notable in the news I.E Epstein so the criteria
36:34
for me personally ruin this one is just which loss kind of affected me the most I kind of gave away already and that was
36:40
uh Mary Frederickson uh I definitely was a fan of rock set and am a fan but I mean enough that I listened to them for
36:46
years you're telling me that her death affected you more than Bob Einstein's
36:55
yeah oh love that you had for you must have been love no I love Bob and he would have be
37:00
my second choice easily put this way if Mary hadn't died just at the end of this year this was a close call yeah you have
37:07
to keep in mind Bob died in January of 2019 like January 2nd so he started off
37:13
the year strong uh but Mary came in like a dark horse
37:19
and died 11 months later well you know I guess people affect you differently yeah for me Bob Einstein sure sure I I see it
37:28
rub I see it he brought me laughter in my as a like a young youth a tween to
37:34
you know him being super Dave I love that show love it with curb for the past
37:40
10 years his humor is this his dry his raspy voice yeah Miss he's brought me a
37:47
lot of laughs I agree I totally get your pick and had it not been for Mar's passing I think I can only using your
37:53
same criteria but on the music side rock sets brought me a lot of Joy listening to their music for years no
38:01
laughter uh but joy let's do B they brought me a lot of laughter yeah all right I hold no shame
38:10
I hold no shame I I'm was teasing they obviously made really catchy songs
38:15
there's a reason why they sold 80 million yeah yeah all right Ru well
38:20
remember in front of every Silver Lining there's a cloud and we're here to help you find it I'm really looking forward to 2020s list Rue yeah yeah come come on
