That Time Rob Reiner And Martin Sheen Dropped By

In light of the news of Rob Reiner, apparently being murdered in his home, I thought it'd be fun to re-visit that day both he and Martin Sheen dropped by the radio station. Rob was all business, for the most part...Martin, on the other hand, actually came back to the studio and wanted to hang out all morning. Here is that segment from 2004 when they were campaiging for Howard Dean.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm so sorry you Please show President Bartlet some respect
for crying out. You know, if you hang out, you
can do the news. You know. They said no, so
they got to go like two or three minutes. We
gotta be quick. So now both of you, Rob Reiner
and Martin Sheen, you're in town obviously for Howard Dean, right,
and tell us exactly what's going on today?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well? Were we got a full day. We're gonna be
over the Holiday Inn in a few minutes, start up
with a rally, and then we're gonna be going over
to U s Iiowa City after that, and then Cedar Falls,
Cedar Rapids, and we're gonna end up in Des Moines
to kick off a bus tour with Governor Dean.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
No kidding, and you'll be happy though I know you
both are in southern California now obviously for your careers,
but we we've heated up the weather for you so
it's not too frigid like it was last week. I
brought this in with the thank you very much. We
appreciate that. No extra Jarge, how already got my vote.
That's that's the way it's going. But I look over
your two careers and it's just amazing. I mean because

(01:14):
obviously Rob, you went from Meathead and All in the Family,
which I love that show, and look at you and
look at all the but look at off. Thank you
very much.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
But I've often said, no matter what I do in
my life, I'll be a Meathead. I can win the
Nobel Prize. That will say Meathead wins Nobel.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
But but but you think about you think of some
of the other stars to you Gilligan, he's never lived
that down. You look at the britty Bunch kids. But
but Meathead, and look at your career since then, you
got Alex and Emily, you got American President, just a
ton of movies.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
And a movie that Martin's never heard of, when Harry
mets South the other way. No, No, the princess bride
he heard of, but not the American President. Martin Sheen's
in that he's the chief. We got a promotion wing.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
You know, we could just leave and let Martin and
Rob you the show. Hey, we should, They are that good.
Grab some coffee, Yeah, I'd love to get something.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, we are paid professionals. Yeah, so we do have
some experience in this.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
And I know you got to run by so much.
Prele On, I'm gonna walk say. They'll be at the
comedy club this weekend. He's gonna go out with Howard
Dean today and then there'll be a Penguins this weekend
and open up. It'll be great. But thank you to
so much for coming in.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's our pleasure. So we're just out here reminding people
to make sure they get to the caucuses on the
nineteenth and for Howard Dean.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
And real quick if you don't mind, because we have
so many young listeners and we all know that there's
a lot of voter apathy with young people. Can say
anything about that at all, Well, I.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Think that's one of the exciting things about the Dean campaign,
that's he's energized a lot of young voters over twenty
five percent of his following is under thirty years old,
and he's brought people to the party into his campaign
that have never voted before. So if you're looking for
somebody in a fresh candidate who speaks his mind and

(03:04):
speaks honestly and speaks the truth, Howard Dean's your man,
and you can get out there on the nineteenth and
caucus for him.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Now, Martin, you're very silent this morning. I can't get
near the mic.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I'm sorry, Martin God, you're the president.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You know wherever you want. Please, can we show President
Bartlet's some respect for No, no, no, I'm delighted. I'm
behind this guy. He fires me up. There you go.
