He did his last show on KTLA 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: and then the next morning he had passed away at 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: home from a massive heart attack. Didn't even see it 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: coming anyway, the outpouring of love from people in the 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: entertainment business, especially based in Los Angeles, the entertainment capital 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: of the world, arguably, all came out to talk about 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: how Sam Rubin was their favorite. He never really was 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: the kind of snarky reporter who wanted to go for 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: the jugular and make people embarrassed and looking for the headlines. 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: And he'd been a mainstay in the entertainment reporting world 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: Los Angeles for many, many years. Right, And you actually 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 2: knew him, You worked with him for a while, right, Nay? 20 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, So when I worked in Los Angeles, he 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 3: was the go to anytime an entertainment story was breaking, 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: it would be get Sam on the phone. And Sam 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 3: was always so willing to help. At the drop of 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 3: a hat. He'd be like, Hey, when's your break time. Okay, 25 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: I can do it in fifteen minutes. Okay, perfect, And 26 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 3: he wouldn't even question. He would just jump on. And 27 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,559 Speaker 3: he was just the nicest guy. I remember he would 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 3: even take I would go see movies and he would 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: take my movie review and talk about it on KTLA 30 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: Morning News and it was just an crazy thing.

They 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: had his young son, Colby Ruben, come on with the 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 2: anchors at the anchor table to talk about his father 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: and it was very emotional and it's just you could 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: tell this kid, it's just heartbroken. He was talking about 38 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: how his dad was not only his best friend, he 39 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: learned so much from him on their car rides and 40 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: when he was a little when he was a boy scout, 41 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: when he was a little kid, his dad was the 42 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: only one that would that would hop on the lake 43 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: and his kayak and Kayak with him and he was 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: always there for his son. And his son looked at 45 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 2: the camera and said something that really hit me hard. 46 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: And we talked about this at dinner last night. You 47 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: never know when you're about to lose someone. Oh, sometimes 48 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: you do, sometimes you don't. Sometimes people will just leave 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: you without any warning, without any indication that they're done 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: with life, you know. With Uncle Johnny, look, he had 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: been sick for a long time, but still the day 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: he left us was a very sad day. But Kolby 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: Ruben was talking about his dad, Sam Ruben, and he 54 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: looked at the camera and if you want to look 55 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: at this yourself, there's a video online. He just said, Dad, 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: there's so many things I wish I would have told you, 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: so many things I wish I could have thanked you 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: for tell you how proud I am to be your son. 59 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: He said, I'm just living it's sort of un paraphrasing, 60 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: and living in a world of regret not being able 61 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: to do that before you left us. 62 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: Think about that. You never know. 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: You kiss them goodbye in the morning and they head 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: out to school, or you head out to work, or 65 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: they head out to their work whatever. You just assume 66 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: they're coming back at five o'clock like they do every day, 67 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: and God willing, they will and they usually do right, 68 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: sometimes they don't. So how we treat people day in 69 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: and day out in our lives, people that really are 70 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: our best friends, our confidants. What we say to them, 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: it's so important. But what we don't say to them 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: is what you should be thinking about. How do you 73 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: treat the people that you love and you adore? Do 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: you ever thank them? Do you ever say hey, you 75 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: are f a awesome and I'm so proud of you 76 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: because you just went through this. I'm so happy that 77 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: you're in my life because you helped me struggle through that. 78 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: You know, just like Sam Ruben just without any explanation, 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: without any warning, had a heart attack and left his 80 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: family in an entire industry of people who are mourning 81 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: his loss. Never got to say hey, thank you, something 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: as simple as that. So keep that in mind as 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: you get. 84 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: On with your day. 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: Maybe you could pick up a phone today and call someone. 86 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 2: Don't text them, you call them and say hey, I 87 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: just want to tell you I love you. They may 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: think you're a total fruitcake like Warre's this coming from. 89 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 2: Doesn't matter, Oh, well, at least you just said any thoughts. 90 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 5: I think about that all the time, just the fact 91 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 5: that somebody can walk out the door and that vision 92 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 5: of them is the last vision that you're ever going 93 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 5: to see. And I try really hard to give people 94 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 5: their flowers while they're alive and tell them that you 95 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 5: love them and tell them that you're proud of them 96 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 5: and that you're happy to be their kid, and all 97 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 5: of those things, because it's life's crazy, you. 98 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: Know it is. 99 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, Frog, I I lost somebody, somebody I worked with 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 6: for a long time. Their spouse just passed away, and 101 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 6: I thought to myself, I remember the last time I 102 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 6: saw her, But I had no idea that that was 103 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 6: going to be the last time I saw her. And 104 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 6: it made me really sad to think that at some point, 105 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 6: most people you come into contact with in your life, 106 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 6: you will see them and you have no idea that 107 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 6: that will be the last time. So always make sure 108 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 6: that you leave on a note and say something nice 109 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 6: to somebody that leaves it okay, so that if that 110 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 6: is the last time you see them, you're okay with 111 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 6: that and can be at peace with how things ended. 112 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: I see your mind work at work Danielle, what are 113 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 4: you thinking about? 114 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: No, I'm just it's just all so scary. 115 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: That's all you think about. You think about your dad 116 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: a little bit. 117 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: Of course. I mean, you know, I always say to 118 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: my mom, like, I wish I had forced dad to 119 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: go to lunch with me. More, I wish I had 120 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: done this, I wish I had done that. And she 121 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: always says to me, you can't, you can't. 122 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: You know, what are you going to do? 123 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: This is the way it worked. He knew you loved him, 124 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: you know, blah blah blah. But you just you always 125 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,239 Speaker 1: think about what you should have done differently or said 126 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: differently or you know. 127 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 4: So, yeah, I'm telling you, Danielle, I remember your your mom. 128 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 4: Your your mom was what in the kitchen and your 129 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 4: dad was taking a nample on the couch. 130 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: He was just sitting in the in the living room, 131 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: she was washing the dishes, and she came in and 132 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: he was he was gone, he was dead. And she 133 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: got called nine one one and they revived him. Unfortunately. 134 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I think when the oxygen has been 135 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: gone from your brain for too long, you never come 136 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: back like you were. And that was one of the issues. 137 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, she's she said. He just said to me, 138 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: that was delicious. Do we have leftovers? That was the 139 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: last That was the last thing my mom said, and 140 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: my dad said, and my mom says, yeah, we have leftovers. 141 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: And the next thing, you know, she came in the 142 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: living room and that was it. He was gone. 143 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 4: Is so? So it is wild and so. 144 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 2: But I know for a fact that when your dad 145 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 2: passed away, he knew how much you loved him. 146 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: I think so. I think he definitely knew. But of 147 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: course she did, Bill, I don't think. I think even 148 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: though that person knows how much you love them, there 149 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: you're still going to always say I should have done this, 150 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: I should have done that. And my dad worked in 151 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: Jersey and I would say, Dad, come over, you know. 152 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: And then the day before he had said to me, Hey, 153 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: I want to I want to drop off my medical 154 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 1: records to you, because I had said I wanted somebody 155 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: else to look at them because I didn't trust the 156 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: doctors that he had. And he called me the day 157 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: before and said I'm going to come over and drop 158 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: them off.

I 160 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: shall let him come over, but I didn't want him 161 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: to drive that far. 162 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 4: Well that's the thing. You never know. That's that's the 163 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: point problem.
