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 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 mid because we have
so many young listeners and we all know that there's
a lot of voter apathy with young people. Can you
say anything about that at all?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, I 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 speaks honestly and speaks the truth, Howard Dean's

(03:06):
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
into the mic.
