1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: With Stu Gotts and Hawkman. 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 2: So this show the podcast today, it's a little bit 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 2: of a left hand turn because of news yesterday that 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: Greg Biffle had died in a plane crash. Yeah, we 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 2: had planned we have a segment that Stu Gotts and 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: I did with Greg Biffle years ago. Dan was out 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 2: doing PTI and you and I had Greg Biffle coming on. 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 2: We didn't know who he was, and we were going 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: to play this just in an upcoming episode. We had 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: already pulled the sound and we're not going to do 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: it obviously, because he perished yesterday along with his wife 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: and kids. 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 3: A horrific tragedy. 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: And I had no idea about Greg Biffle till I 15 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: was reading about it. I'm not a huge NASCAR fan. 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: Sure if you knew, like he was one of the 17 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: most generous charitable athletes in the world. Yes, Like this 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: guy apparently lived to donate millions to those in need 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: and was doing so when they were killed. I believe 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: they were going to a charitable event. 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, and not just Biffle, Biffle's entire family who also 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 4: passed away. And our hearts and our thoughts and prayers 23 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 4: go out to the entire family. 24 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: It's just an awful situation. 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 4: And regardless of the fact that you and I had 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 4: fun at Greg Biffle's expense many many, many many years ago, 27 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 4: probably twenty yeah, twenty years ago. But yes, he does 28 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 4: a lot of charity work. They do a lot of 29 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 4: charity work. There was a lot of flooding in a 30 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 4: big storm, and he'll help provide water and help the 31 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 4: clean up efforts and all of that. And so, by 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 4: everyone's account, just an amazing person and an amazing family. 33 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: So that was incredible story. Yeah, incredible loss. And then 34 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: obviously Rob Reiner was killed. Did you guys ever have 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: Rob Reiner on the show? He was never on when 36 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: I was part of the show. Did he seemed like 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: he would be a Levatard style guest. 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 4: I know Dan wanted to speak to him. I cannot 39 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 4: recall if we ever had Rob on. 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just I don't I know that we did. 41 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 4: If I had the guests, I would say no, I 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 4: feel like it's something I would remember, but perhaps we did. 43 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't remember what I said five minutes ago, So 44 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: that's fair. Fair. 45 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: I mean, I know we didn't have him on during 46 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 2: my tenure which was like the first eight or nine 47 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: years of the show. The Biffle stuff got me thinking, though, like, 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: over the course of twenty years, you're going to lose 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 2: people who were a part of the show in some way, 50 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 2: shape or form. And I'm talking about guests. I'm talking 51 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: about celebrities who were guests, and I started thinking about it. 52 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: For me, the death of a constant guest on the 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 2: show that I think hit me the hardest was Bob Einstein, 54 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: who was Super Dave and Marty Funkhauser on Curb Your Enthusiasm. 55 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if you ever heard this, because I 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: know it was Dan who made this for me. 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: So there were two. 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: Bob Einstein, who played funk Houser, started coming on with us. 59 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: I don't know how I struck up a friendship with him, 60 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: but I did. And then when I left the show, 61 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: Alison struck up a huge friendship with Bob Einstein. 62 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: Yes, and I. 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: Also had a great friendship with Bob. So much so 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: Bob so for my mom. Bob was her favorite character 65 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 4: on the Larry David Ship, and so I asked Bob 66 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,239 Speaker 4: to reach out to my mom for her birthday. My 67 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 4: mom is what I have, Yeah, you and Dan did 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: it for my fortieth Oh okay, good. So he actually 69 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 4: spoke to my mom. I was like, Bob, can you 70 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: speak to my mom. We'll take like sixty seconds. He 71 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 4: ended up staying on the phone. 72 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: With her for like forty two minutes. It was unbelievable. 73 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: Alison used to have our long conversations with him because 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: he would he would be your celebrity guest picker. That 75 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: was beyond my time. But he used to just come 76 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: on as a guest and I somehow forged this friendship 77 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: with him, Like if you'd catch him at the right time, 78 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: he was happy to talk to you for thirty minutes 79 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 2: and you weren't even trying to talk to him, Like 80 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: he was just like an outgoing, gregarious guy who was 81 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: always funny. 82 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: Yes, there were times where I would call Bob and 83 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: just say hello, and twenty two minutes later he would 84 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: throw the conversation back to me. 85 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you could tell like why Larry loved on the show. 86 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 2: You could see why he would always be with Funkhauser 87 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 2: because it was just an extension of their relationship. 88 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: A hah. 89 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: Any idea do you think Taylor, like if you have 90 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 4: to place an amount of money that means something to you. 91 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: Do you think Taylor knows who Bob Einstein is? 92 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: Man, he's gotta no Funkhauser right from Curb?

Cynthia was my board op back 534 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: then in the first year of the show. She worked 535 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 2: for Jefferson Pilot Lincoln Financial. Remember we were just kind 536 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: of renting the signals, so she. 537 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 4: Worked she actually worked for WAXI and she became our 538 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 4: support op of hours early on. 539 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 540 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they required someone to be in there. Even though 541 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: I was kind of running the board, Cynthia had to 542 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 2: be there legally and Iron Chic Live drop the F 543 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 2: word homosexual slur and you don't. 544 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 3: Have to dump it. 545 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 2: But I was uncomfortable and I figured, nah, I'm gonna 546 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: dump it. Yeah, when you dump someone, the phone line 547 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: cuts off because it takes about twenty seconds to order 548 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 2: the delay to reset. So if you have someone on 549 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: the phone line during those twenty seconds, there's no more 550 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 2: dump button. And I made the quick, calculated decision that 551 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 2: he's not gonna say anything foul. In the next twenty seconds, 552 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 2: I got what I considered a word that should be 553 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 2: dumped and I'll just roll with it. So I manually 554 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 2: pop the phone back up, and Iron Cheek goes on 555 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 2: to talk about wrestling against be Brian Blair, which set 556 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: him off, and he said, b Brian Blair, if I 557 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 2: ever saw him again, I would blah blah blah, break 558 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 2: his back, make him humble. 559 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: And fuck his ass, and you can dump again. I couldn't. 560 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 2: I couldn't dump it right over the air, and I 561 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: was I thought I had lost my job. I remember 562 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 2: going home and telling my wife I lost my job. 563 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: Like this, this job was going well.
