The team dives into one of the most shocking Hollywood stories of the year: the alleged murder of Rob Reiner and his wife by their son, Nick. With chilling details from TMZ and NBC reports, plus speculation about what went down at Conan O’Brien’s star-studded Christmas party, this segment will leave you stunned. The guys even debate the psychology behind family dynamics, addiction, and the tragic fallout—all while sprinkling in their trademark humor (including a joke about the DA being named Alan Jackson and invoking “Chattahoochee justice”).

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Hot guys, every come.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Stay on top in the the woots, shove shut. Yeah, okay,
so yes. A couple of segments on the murder of
Rob Reiner, the famous director actor who was seventy eight
and his wife Michelle sixty eight, and apparently he murdered
at the hands of their son, Nick Ryner at the
(00:56):
age of thirty two. So some more details are out.
So we know that Nick Reiner had been to rehab
over fifteen times over the years, so they got Nick
Reiner was living with them though at the time, so
he was living with them. They went to Conan's Christmas party.
(01:17):
Conan O'Brien has a big Christmas party every year, and
it was reported on TMZ that there was a bit
of a bit of a verbal confrontation happening and the
Reiner family like left and Nick Reiner had apparently creeped
out a couple other people at.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The party creeped out.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Do you know that? I do know one? And this
is very wild when I read this last night, I'm
gonna read this from an NBC reporter. Hold on, hold on,
I gotta find it right here, because I've got a
couple things. He's alleged to have interrupted a conversation involving
comedian Bill Hayter when Hayter told him the conversation was private.
The sort said Nick Reiner appeared to stand still and
(01:57):
stare before storming off. Today he was supposed to be
formally charged his for whatever reason. By the way, the
district attorney is Alan Jackson, which is yes, they got
the Chattahoochee defense attorney here. He has not been even
(02:17):
cleared to like go to court today, he's on suicide
watch and they are like, we can't do this until
he's in the right mind. So that's all happening. The
daughter of Rob Ryan Or and Michelle Reiner showed up
and when she saw the bodies, it was there. It
(02:38):
had happened. It feels like this happened pretty soon after
the party. They went home after the party. Oh, it
sounds like it happened then, So who knows. Maybe the
fight started happening when they got home again. Did they
go together, We don't really know, but we do know
he was living there. After she called the police, she
called Billy Crystal first, who was very good family friend
(02:59):
and who lives there. Might have been at Conan's party.
That's what's so crazy about all this to me, outside
of the just true crime murder thing happening right, is
the amount of celebrities at Conan's party who saw this
hours before they were murdered. Is going to be a laundry.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
List and then finding out later like what they were
thinking as they were watching it.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's a horrible way to die, you know. It's like
a gunshot to me, would be if you had to
choose a better It all terrible, obviously, but I can't
help but think about the second person. So whoever, he
had to killed one of them in front of the
other one, probably right, Yeah, and then the other one
(03:40):
had to watch their loved one get killed and then
get killed themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Presumably right, unless they're in separate parts of the house.
But then you would at least hear the screaming and
know something's going on. Probably run in.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Oh, this is such a high profile case. We will
get more information on all that and what the detectives,
you know, piece together here. But the daughter said that
she did tell police officers that Nick was dangerous, but
said he was living at the house was not there
when she arrived, which is probably good for her, you know.
(04:11):
But just while I've been going through and it's just
I mean, it's on a lot of timelines and feeds
and things like that, but I've watched way more Rob
Reiner and Nick Reiner combined interviews promoting that movie that
we talked about yesterday than I ever thought I would.
It's nuts. You know what's crazy too, is my our
(04:32):
friend Kent Garrison of the One Star Cowboys podcast, which
you can see on the Haymaker Network. WI she recorded
an episode this morning. Kent Garrison knew Jake Reiner, the
older brother. Oh, Kent knows everyone. He's one of those
people who knows everybody. I mean, he was in Forever
The Sickest Kids. But he knew Jake because Jake was
doing Jake Reiner didn't take up the Hollywood path here.
(04:53):
He is a sports like reporter, so he was working
for the Athletic for a while. Uh, the other brother.
There's one of those clips where Rob Reiner and Nick
Reiner are sitting there and they're talking about wrestling because
they both they like wrest wrestling, and Rob took them
the wrestling events here and there, and he's talking about
these wrestlers. Raymysteria is one of them. And Nick was like, wow,
(05:15):
I wasn't there. And I was like, yeah, come on,
you were there. Remember we told we uh we went
to the thing. And he goes, no, that was Jake,
that wasn't me. Oh. I mean it's tense, and you
can see jealousy. You can see just you can you
can see that he doesn't like his dad. You can
see it. It's crazy and you like, you have this
great life, but you can he probably Rob Reiner probably
(05:38):
wasn't around all the time and probably didn't give the
attention that you know was desired by Nick Reiner. You
can see how that would happen.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It could be that, but it also could be that.
You know, as a parent, you want to guide your
child to do the right thing, and if you see
your child going down the path of drugs and doing
nothing and making nothing of their life, you have a decision.
Are you gonna nudge them in the right direction? How
forceful is that nudge? I mean, you're trying to do
it out of love and you're trying to help, But
it sounds like if that was the case, I don't know,
(06:06):
I don't know anything about this relationship. If that was
the case, you know, this kid resented the hell out
of it and they're just trying to be good parents.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
If that's the case, I don't know, And depending on
you know, we'll find out more about the mental health status.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, yeah, I mean obviously that's it.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Could have done everything right. And the person if you're
if you're gonna stab people, you know, they're saying youres
this horror movie stuff like it was really bad?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
All right, There you have it. There's the Hollywood Shuffle
coming up next in just about three or four minutes.
The uh, we're gonna have trending in ben My wife
