A scary afternoon for Laura as she tells us about how her son, Charlie, fell off a roof while at work and landed in a well with the EMT's having to cut him out of his clothes. He was in the hospital when we recorded this, and thank God he suffered a fracture in his back instead of what could have happened. Grateful is the only word for this miracle, and it's the best Christmas miracle Laura could ever ask for. Bad things happen around the holidays sometimes, but we need to focus on what we are thankful for, even if it's just the small things. If you're feeling low right now, we're here for ya. We then call Laura's mom because it was her birthday. We bust her for something she does every night. Erik brings it home with some extra spicy Double D Showbiz News, including some inside details about the night leading up to the Reiners' death. Wow. We will be back on Christmas Day with our last show of the year. Already looking forward to a bitchin' 2026!

to Laura Kane after Dark. It's our Christmas and New
Year's show because we're not gonna be on next week
because I'll tell you why in a second. Hi, I'm Lauracane,
(00:45):
Eric Rimmer, producer, Claire with the Okay, you did it.
You made it erect again. That is fantastic. I stuffed
it making sure that it's you know what I needed that,
So thank you. You're welcome, and I know I know
you knew that I'm always here for you. I know
in the ways that really matter.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
To bring me some laughs, Okay, that's true. I don't
want to. I didn't want to start the show off
like this. In fact, I almost called off the whole
entire thing, because I got a phone call today about
I don't know, I want to say, like four o'clock
(01:28):
from Charlie's wife. Charlie's in the hospital. He fell off
a roof. That's what he is. Second to the last
day on the job too, because he he cleaned roofs
and gutters for a company. Anyway, he fell off the
roof and he u was immobile, couldn't move, how to
(01:55):
be taken by er, cut out of his clothes. He's
still in the hospit little I would. I'm a little
bit okay. There's so much going on in my mind
because in the one hand, I'm like Charlie and I
are so very very very like connected soulfully that I'm
(02:19):
feeling him big time. There's that. And my daughter just
landed in San Diego from New York City. She's going
to the other family's house because we have the podcast.
I'm going to see her tomorrow. So I'm excited, but
I'm like scared, and so Charlie. He just fractured a vertebrae,
(02:47):
but if it would have been any closer to his spine,
he would have been paralyzed. So I am trying not
to go down that hole of oh my god, I
could he could be dead. He could have broke his neck.
He could have like I'm so, what I'm doing right
(03:09):
now is going on with the show and just saying
I'm so grateful that you guys are here, our listeners
are and our watchers. I appreciate it and that and
you who I was trying to get a hold of
for so like for hours, but you were at work,
(03:29):
I know. And I'm glad that Claire's wearing her hat
erect because that makes me smile and laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Anything erect makes Laura smile and laugh.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I have my talking pillar right now because I'm but so.
Right before the show started and before I put the
iPad on do not disturb, a text came through from
Charlie Good. So that's good news. He's texting. He said
(04:03):
he's leaving the hospital. I don't know how because he
can't walk yet, but he will be able to.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So that confuses me because it's like, okay, and then
you said that they might put him in some kind
of crazy cage or something. Anyway, I'll find out more
about that. But what I want to say is how
incredibly grateful I am and this could be maybe the
(04:32):
greatest Christmas present of my entire life that not only
once did Charlie get saved at birth, but from falling
off a roof the way he did into a Well,
now I'm finding out all these details like little by
little and then having to be cut out of his clothes,
like all these things. Yeah, I'm just so incredibly grateful
(04:58):
that I have my son and that he's going to
be okay, and it's going to be a long road
probably recovery. Back injuries are not something that you want
or they're not fun and they take a while to heal.
But I just want to say how incredibly grateful I
am to God to I believe it's my dad. I
(05:21):
believe my dad saved him, not once, but now twice,
my dad who's been in heaven for a very long time.
Today is my mom's birthday.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh, I cannot wait to talk to her.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh. Well, first of all, I want you to tell
everybody what you've said to me when I talk to
you on the phone, like about things that happen around
the holidays, and that kind of is a true statement.
I want you to repeat that you're like sometimes bad things.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Sometimes bad things happened during the holidays, and it's the
grateful things in the silver lining that comes out of it.
And with Charlie, that was, you know, we're celebrating him
being alive, live and not not something worse, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And like I was texting my girl best friend Stacy,
I can't hear myself and she, uh, She's like, you know,
all of us tend to go down that road, that
what if road, ye, that dark path. So I'm just
gonna not do that. Yeah, and uh, and I can't.
(06:39):
I wish I could like go fly to see him,
but Evan just landed here. She's going to be here
a week and then I'm going to see my mom
at Christmas. Like it's like, I'm I'm so messed up
in the head.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Don't worry. I'll take care of all of them.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, my fam exactly, Charlie, Evan, my mom, my sister.
Oh my gosh, So.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I got you.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And then work today, I was in the chopper. I've
been in the chopper.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I fill in for the person that does the aerial
photography for the news stations. And this is the second
day and are not in a row. I did this
Friday too. There's so many moving parts with the camera
work and with you have to talk to the stations
and you have to put you have to do this
live feed thing. Then you have to find the incident
(07:33):
up in the air, like today it was a swat standoff.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, oh god, where was that?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It was in Spring Valley and you have to find
an address. It looks like a pit. You know, you're
way up in the air, and you're like, okay, just
look for the police cars. You know, you kind of
have to. And the stations weren't getting the feed. I
had the thing dialed up wrong. I mean, it was
my fault, and I felt so stupid, and so I
was all bummed at work today and then feel stupid.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's hard.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's it just I just shouldn't be making mistakes like that.
I'm hard on myself like that. And then tomorrow I'm
up in the air again, and I'm not gonna make
a mistake tomorrow, no way.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Now, because you're fucking lacane.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And then today get this. So I'm pulling in from
having like kind of.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
High Dave ericson it is.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh, Dave Erickson, He's the gardener. I love him. I
have an old garbage can that's sitting out on the lawn.
The garbage man was supposed to take the old can
because they gave us the new can, right, but nobody's
taking away the old can, so out it sits on
my front lawn because we're just kind of waiting to see,
(08:43):
like who's gonna take it. So so as I'm pulling
in my driveway, I see a guy walking his dog
and he flips the dog poop bag into my trash can.
No big deal, right, really, So I rolled down the
window and I'm like, I saw that, and the guy
comes turning around and he's like, I am so sorry.
(09:05):
I'm like, I'm just giving you grief. It's not a
big deal. He goes, I'm so embarrassed. Oh my god,
I've never done that before. I swear I've never. I go,
I have, big deal. It's trash. It's trash. You know,
it's not in my house, so it's okay. And he
was gonna go get it. I go, this is a
(09:25):
trash can that I don't even use anyway. So this
poor guy, I was just kidding with it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
No, stick your hand in there and get it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So this poor guy, I'm like oh my god. I
probably I'm like, just leap, seriously, leave the poop in
that trash can. If you take it out, I'll be
very mad. I'm just hitting you grief.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I wish I would have been in the car with her, Claire.
I would have been all, no, don't tell him to
leave it there, take it out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh my gosh. He was just his eyes were just
got like saucers. They were just like, oh my god,
I'm so sorry. I got caught, you know, And because
I do that all the time, you sneak in somebody
else little trash can. It's trash, it's poop, but it's
trash anyway. So I'm just a little bit. I haven't cried,
(10:11):
which is weird. I haven't cried over this. I tried
to eat, I couldn't really eat. I just I hardly
haven't really been able to breathe very much. I don't know.
He's fine, he's fine. I'm grateful, he's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He texted, yes, did my shirt?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
There's my breath? Oh my god, And then so I
could yes, So I text Eric, I need you. I
wanted him to come early, because all by myself, nobody's
here with me. I lit a fire outside on my
patio and I lay it on the couch out there,
just because you know what else to do with myself.
I feel helpless, so I'm texting you. Of course you're
(10:48):
not texting me back because you're at work. So then
I finally talked to Eric. He comes rolling in in
this shirt. I'm like, we're gonna have a very serious conversation,
and you're wearing that shirt.
Speaker 3 (10:59):

So Charlie said if Eric would have come, because I
don't know how, Oh I know how we got on
(21:51):
this topic. Oh no, we got on the topic of
you not wearing underwear, and he goes, Eric doesn't wear
any underwear, and I'm like, no, I go sometime. There
was one time we had to like lift the camera
because he was wearing such thin shorts. It was like
we thought we were gonna get kicked off YouTube. It
was that bad. So what I just lost my train
and thought about.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Your Charlie said something, Charlie, please tell me. Charlie was
talking about my pa.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He oh, he goes, he goes. So if Eric would
have come to my wedding, he wouldn't have been wearing underwear.
I'm like, nope, he would have been freeballing it while
you guys were doing your first dance. And he's like,
oh my god, he couldn't believe you don't wear underwear.
I'm like, well, just does it. No, you wouldn't have.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, maybe I wouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Of course, the first I'm hearing of this, oh, this
was when we had Brian. Okay, get this.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Do you not have to wash your pants all the time?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No? He is very super duper clean. Yes, but he okay, okay,
I'm going to try to put this as as as
as uh as cleanly as possible. Eric well endowed, Okay, okay,
(23:02):
And it's clear when he wears nylon shorts, which he
did one time on the podcast, well it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Seems like they invented a solution to that problem, and
it's underwear.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:14):

the spot cut out.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well, then that's great, I know. Well then that he's
another grateful thing. Yes, I know, a bad, bad thing.
Speaker 3 (26:12):

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I can't believe he's eighty two.
Speaker 4 (26:14):

Speaker 3 (26:15):
I'm not super thrilled with the fact that what's his name,
I'm not like him.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Oh oh, you mean as far as.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Like, yeah, his plastic surgery allegedly allegedly did you watch
Saturday Night Live on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (26:31):

so it was she's good.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
She is And let me tell you, I was in
hog Heaven she was on and Share was the musical.
Speaker 1 (26:44):

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
How old is Share?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Eighty?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
She's yeah, and she looks unbelievable, but not in like
a creepy I've had a million plus surgeries kind of way.
She still looks really.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I mean she has and she's not. She's not been
quiet about that, but she's had good work done.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Well listen when you're eighty years old. She looks great.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I love the clips of Ariana Grande doing like the like,
doing all like Celine Dion.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
She's so good.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
She is awesome. I love Ariana Grande.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Well, no, we didn't. Wait, didn't we hate her like
two weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
No, we just said that she needs eat a hamburger. Oh,
we didn't hate her that.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We didn't hate her, but we were hating on her
a little bit, a little bit, but we we just
we take it back. We take it back, we do.
We just want to keep her. She looks good though,
and she has her eyebrows back.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yes, she does have her eyebrows. Yes.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So it was also the final night for Bowen Yang.
He said goodbye, he's no longer going to be on
the show, and he didn't give a reason why.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Okay, I'm going to sound old and out of touch.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Who's that Bowen Yang. Oh that guy, Yes, that guy.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He's so good. Oh he's good.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I've darn it. But he didn't give any reason to it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Seems like when people leave SNL, they kind of do
it like everybody's kind of pissed, like they never leave happy.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Uh uh, So what did you hear any of the
updates on the Rob Reiner situation?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh my god, so much stuff has been coming out.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Okay, I know then, I know that he got in
a fight. The Sun got in a fight with Rob
Reiner at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Right, So did you hear why?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
So it had a very strict dress code. And the son.
Now I've heard two things. I heard that the parents
brought the son, Rob and his wife Michelle brought the
son Nick because he was going through a bad time
and they brought him to keep an eye on them.
(29:07):
I also heard that he just showed up an unannounced okay,
which I don't believe that story, because you don't just
show up on an announced to a Conan.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
O'Brien like you just well, if you're not well, you might, but.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You security would be like who are No, that's true,
that's true. So I don't know that I believe that story,
but what has been confirmed confirmed what was he was
walking around the party. He was not appropriately dressed. It
was like a hoodie and jeans or sweatpants or something,
(29:42):
and was acting asking all these A list celebrities like
what's your first and last name? And are you famous?
And people were getting pissed. So apparently he approached Bill
Hayter from Saturday Night Live right and asked him the
same thing questions and he wasn't having it because he
(30:03):
was involved, allegedly in a very personal conversation with someone
about and this guy coming up and just and interrupting
did not go well. So that's what the fight was about.
Apparently is the parents were like what are you doing?
Like stop leave, Well.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
There's hater, yeah, because it's not his fault. Oh my god,
I just sat all around.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
They confirmed that they were killed in bed and that
the cleaning crew at the hotel where he was arrested,
when they went into the room there were like bloody
sheets like covering the windows, and allegedly this is what
was told. And so when the media was asking the
(30:57):
Los Angeles Police Department like should we be concerned? Is
there a serial killer on the list or whatever. They
were like, Nope, no need to be concerned because they
already had all the evidence they needed.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So yeah, you know, it must be really really hard
to have a child who's not well mentally well years old.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Didn't rehab eighteen times. Oh that's rough. Ugh, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Well, can you like, can we do something?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh I have some I have something?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
What I have some positive stuff?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Okay? Please please and like that? No.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I watched the new season of Emily in Paris.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:41):

guy that was like inspired Psycho.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Nothing says happy holidays, like I know, like I'm a sicko. Wow,
I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I love that kind of stuff. I love murdery, psycho killer,
serial killer stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I'm sorry, you need to watch dangerous Animals? What's that?
That was great?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Is that? Like what I like?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Say? Serial killer?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Who feeds his prey to sharks? Okay, insane?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's I'm embarrassed to say. But that's the kind of
thing I watch, and I watch it and I fall
asleep to that kind of thing. Yeah, and I'm fine.
Oh wow, I'm totally losing it.
Speaker 3 (32:36):

(00:45):
Eric Rimmer, producer, Claire with the Okay, you did it.
You made it erect again. That is fantastic. I stuffed
it making sure that it's you know what I needed that,
So thank you. You're welcome, and I know I know
you knew that I'm always here for you. I know
in the ways that really matter.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
To bring me some laughs, Okay, that's true. I don't
want to. I didn't want to start the show off
like this. In fact, I almost called off the whole
entire thing, because I got a phone call today about
I don't know, I want to say, like four o'clock
(01:28):
from Charlie's wife. Charlie's in the hospital. He fell off
a roof. That's what he is. Second to the last
day on the job too, because he he cleaned roofs
and gutters for a company. Anyway, he fell off the
roof and he u was immobile, couldn't move, how to
(01:55):
be taken by er, cut out of his clothes. He's
still in the hospit little I would. I'm a little
bit okay. There's so much going on in my mind
because in the one hand, I'm like Charlie and I
are so very very very like connected soulfully that I'm
(02:19):
feeling him big time. There's that. And my daughter just
landed in San Diego from New York City. She's going
to the other family's house because we have the podcast.
I'm going to see her tomorrow. So I'm excited, but
I'm like scared, and so Charlie. He just fractured a vertebrae,
(02:47):
but if it would have been any closer to his spine,
he would have been paralyzed. So I am trying not
to go down that hole of oh my god, I
could he could be dead. He could have broke his neck.
He could have like I'm so, what I'm doing right
(03:09):
now is going on with the show and just saying
I'm so grateful that you guys are here, our listeners
are and our watchers. I appreciate it and that and
you who I was trying to get a hold of
for so like for hours, but you were at work,
(03:29):
I know. And I'm glad that Claire's wearing her hat
erect because that makes me smile and laugh.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Anything erect makes Laura smile and laugh.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I have my talking pillar right now because I'm but so.
Right before the show started and before I put the
iPad on do not disturb, a text came through from
Charlie Good. So that's good news. He's texting. He said
(04:03):
he's leaving the hospital. I don't know how because he
can't walk yet, but he will be able to.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
So that confuses me because it's like, okay, and then
you said that they might put him in some kind
of crazy cage or something. Anyway, I'll find out more
about that. But what I want to say is how
incredibly grateful I am and this could be maybe the
(04:32):
greatest Christmas present of my entire life that not only
once did Charlie get saved at birth, but from falling
off a roof the way he did into a Well,
now I'm finding out all these details like little by
little and then having to be cut out of his clothes,
like all these things. Yeah, I'm just so incredibly grateful
(04:58):
that I have my son and that he's going to
be okay, and it's going to be a long road
probably recovery. Back injuries are not something that you want
or they're not fun and they take a while to heal.
But I just want to say how incredibly grateful I
am to God to I believe it's my dad. I
(05:21):
believe my dad saved him, not once, but now twice,
my dad who's been in heaven for a very long time.
Today is my mom's birthday.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh, I cannot wait to talk to her.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh. Well, first of all, I want you to tell
everybody what you've said to me when I talk to
you on the phone, like about things that happen around
the holidays, and that kind of is a true statement.
I want you to repeat that you're like sometimes bad things.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Sometimes bad things happened during the holidays, and it's the
grateful things in the silver lining that comes out of it.
And with Charlie, that was, you know, we're celebrating him
being alive, live and not not something worse, I know.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
And like I was texting my girl best friend Stacy,
I can't hear myself and she, uh, She's like, you know,
all of us tend to go down that road, that
what if road, ye, that dark path. So I'm just
gonna not do that. Yeah, and uh, and I can't.
(06:39):
I wish I could like go fly to see him,
but Evan just landed here. She's going to be here
a week and then I'm going to see my mom
at Christmas. Like it's like, I'm I'm so messed up
in the head.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Don't worry. I'll take care of all of them.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Well, my fam exactly, Charlie, Evan, my mom, my sister.
Oh my gosh, So.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I got you.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And then work today, I was in the chopper. I've
been in the chopper.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I fill in for the person that does the aerial
photography for the news stations. And this is the second
day and are not in a row. I did this
Friday too. There's so many moving parts with the camera
work and with you have to talk to the stations
and you have to put you have to do this
live feed thing. Then you have to find the incident
(07:33):
up in the air, like today it was a swat standoff.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, oh god, where was that?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It was in Spring Valley and you have to find
an address. It looks like a pit. You know, you're
way up in the air, and you're like, okay, just
look for the police cars. You know, you kind of
have to. And the stations weren't getting the feed. I
had the thing dialed up wrong. I mean, it was
my fault, and I felt so stupid, and so I
was all bummed at work today and then feel stupid.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's hard.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It's it just I just shouldn't be making mistakes like that.
I'm hard on myself like that. And then tomorrow I'm
up in the air again, and I'm not gonna make
a mistake tomorrow, no way.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Now, because you're fucking lacane.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And then today get this. So I'm pulling in from
having like kind of.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
High Dave ericson it is.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Oh, Dave Erickson, He's the gardener. I love him. I
have an old garbage can that's sitting out on the lawn.
The garbage man was supposed to take the old can
because they gave us the new can, right, but nobody's
taking away the old can, so out it sits on
my front lawn because we're just kind of waiting to see,
(08:43):
like who's gonna take it. So so as I'm pulling
in my driveway, I see a guy walking his dog
and he flips the dog poop bag into my trash can.
No big deal, right, really, So I rolled down the
window and I'm like, I saw that, and the guy
comes turning around and he's like, I am so sorry.
(09:05):
I'm like, I'm just giving you grief. It's not a
big deal. He goes, I'm so embarrassed. Oh my god,
I've never done that before. I swear I've never. I go,
I have, big deal. It's trash. It's trash. You know,
it's not in my house, so it's okay. And he
was gonna go get it. I go, this is a
(09:25):
trash can that I don't even use anyway. So this
poor guy, I was just kidding with it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
No, stick your hand in there and get it.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
So this poor guy, I'm like oh my god. I
probably I'm like, just leap, seriously, leave the poop in
that trash can. If you take it out, I'll be
very mad. I'm just hitting you grief.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I wish I would have been in the car with her, Claire.
I would have been all, no, don't tell him to
leave it there, take it out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh my gosh. He was just his eyes were just
got like saucers. They were just like, oh my god,
I'm so sorry. I got caught, you know, And because
I do that all the time, you sneak in somebody
else little trash can. It's trash, it's poop, but it's
trash anyway. So I'm just a little bit. I haven't cried,
(10:11):
which is weird. I haven't cried over this. I tried
to eat, I couldn't really eat. I just I hardly
haven't really been able to breathe very much. I don't know.
He's fine, he's fine. I'm grateful, he's gonna be okay.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He texted, yes, did my shirt?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
There's my breath? Oh my god, And then so I
could yes, So I text Eric, I need you. I
wanted him to come early, because all by myself, nobody's

But the problem is she had to put headphones on
and then the hat fell and we had issues. So
she stuffed just for me because it was so funny.
Thank you Claire for being there, and she did she did.
(21:09):
Uh you know what else would make me really happy?
Some double D news? Oh I mean, will it?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I don't know. Did you lose a piece of paper?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Oh no, dude, where's your stuff? Look in your bag?

of Christmas on Thursdays where we have like a couple
of gifts that we can already give. Okay, so we'll
do that next episode between the legs. Oh my gosh.
So Charlie said if Eric would have come, because I
don't know how, Oh I know how we got on
(21:51):
this topic. Oh no, we got on the topic of
you not wearing underwear, and he goes, Eric doesn't wear
any underwear, and I'm like, no, I go sometime. There
was one time we had to like lift the camera
because he was wearing such thin shorts. It was like
we thought we were gonna get kicked off YouTube. It
was that bad. So what I just lost my train
and thought about.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Your Charlie said something, Charlie, please tell me. Charlie was
talking about my pa.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He oh, he goes, he goes. So if Eric would
have come to my wedding, he wouldn't have been wearing underwear.
I'm like, nope, he would have been freeballing it while
you guys were doing your first dance. And he's like,
oh my god, he couldn't believe you don't wear underwear.
I'm like, well, just does it. No, you wouldn't have.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Well, maybe I wouldn't have.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Of course, the first I'm hearing of this, oh, this
was when we had Brian. Okay, get this.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Do you not have to wash your pants all the time?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No? He is very super duper clean. Yes, but he okay, okay,
I'm going to try to put this as as as
as uh as cleanly as possible. Eric well endowed, Okay, okay,
(23:02):
And it's clear when he wears nylon shorts, which he
did one time on the podcast, well it.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Seems like they invented a solution to that problem, and
it's underwear.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, his little member was like over to the side
like a little puppy dog, like laying on his leg
you could, And so the camera was like down here,
and people on Instagram Live were like, oh my god,
you're oh my god, oh my god, we can totally
see that outline of your you know what. So we
had to like lift the camera, we had to like
fix things because we would have been kicked off Instagram
(23:36):
and YouTube because of he doesn't want underwear. Why I
don't know. Why wouldn't you want that support?
Speaker 3 (23:42):
You don't like it? Yeah, it's it uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Yeah, okay, but what about like, don't things jiggle around
too much? You don't want to be secure exactly? Don't
you want to be like feel like you're all like tuck.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Don't you want to urge your loins?
Speaker 4 (24:01):
There you go?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
No, no, And I hate boxer shorts.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well box your shorts are well boxer shorts. You need
like those long like boxer briefs.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Like compressions.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
They make them comfortable. They make them comfortable. Now, look
at even Elvis has never once jumped off your lap.
He just jumped off your lap and went sat underneath.
He's sick of he's disgusted, he's disgusted.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Why do you open that can of words? I don't know.
It's so happy.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Anyway, So that was that was Charlie. I talked to
him yesterday because of something that may be coming for
that terrible Team of Christmas. Oh that's all I'm going
to say. You have no when I kind of want
to tell Claire, like on the down low, but I
kind of want to surprise her too because she's going
to know what this thing is.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Claire, there's certain things I don't even know if we
can show.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
This is going to be off the charts, but this
is gonna be the best day. We have a little teaser,
just a fun like little little things with the big showdown,
and then we're gonna have an all new set, we
have an all new logo. We're gonna kick off twenty
twenty six like it's gonna be on fire. Let's go,
is what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Let's oh, you're gonna you go. You're gonna be going, all.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Right, And we have the artistic director of the Old
Globe as our first guest. That on the fifth of January,
which will be our first showback. There we go. Yes,
it's Double Deeds. You found your news between your legs,

your gensu. It's basically right, Okay, thank.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You for the music. You're welcome. Thank you. Verry Manilow
was diagnosed with lung cancer. Oh no, yes, he is
eighty two years old. It was caught early, so he's
not even gonna have to chemo. He's had surgery having
the spot cut out.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Well, then that's great, I know. Well then that he's
another grateful thing. Yes, I know, a bad, bad thing.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Love.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I can't believe he's eighty two.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I know.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I'm not super thrilled with the fact that what's his name,
I'm not like him.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Oh oh, you mean as far as.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Like, yeah, his plastic surgery allegedly allegedly did you watch
Saturday Night Live on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
No? But I keep seeing the clips of Ariana Grande,
so it was she's good.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
She is And let me tell you, I was in
hog Heaven she was on and Share was the musical.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
What I didn't know that?
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
How old is Share?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Eighty?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
She's yeah, and she looks unbelievable, but not in like
a creepy I've had a million plus surgeries kind of way.
She still looks really.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
I mean she has and she's not. She's not been
quiet about that, but she's had good work done.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Well listen when you're eighty years old. She looks great.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I love the clips of Ariana Grande doing like the like,
doing all like Celine Dion.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
She's so good.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
She is awesome. I love Ariana Grande.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Well, no, we didn't. Wait, didn't we hate her like
two weeks ago?
Speaker 3 (27:29):
No, we just said that she needs eat a hamburger. Oh,
we didn't hate her that.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We didn't hate her, but we were hating on her
a little bit, a little bit, but we we just
we take it back. We take it back, we do.
We just want to keep her. She looks good though,
and she has her eyebrows back.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yes, she does have her eyebrows. Yes.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So it was also the final night for Bowen Yang.
He said goodbye, he's no longer going to be on
the show, and he didn't give a reason why.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Okay, I'm going to sound old and out of touch.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Who's that Bowen Yang. Oh that guy, Yes, that guy.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
He's so good. Oh he's good.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I've darn it. But he didn't give any reason to it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Seems like when people leave SNL, they kind of do
it like everybody's kind of pissed, like they never leave happy.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Uh uh, So what did you hear any of the
updates on the Rob Reiner situation?
Speaker 2 (28:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
Oh my god, so much stuff has been coming out.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Okay, I know then, I know that he got in
a fight. The Sun got in a fight with Rob
Reiner at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Right, So did you hear why?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:46):
So it had a very strict dress code. And the son.
Now I've heard two things. I heard that the parents
brought the son, Rob and his wife Michelle brought the
son Nick because he was going through a bad time
and they brought him to keep an eye on them.
(29:07):
I also heard that he just showed up an unannounced okay,
which I don't believe that story, because you don't just
show up on an announced to a Conan.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
O'Brien like you just well, if you're not well, you might, but.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You security would be like who are No, that's true,
that's true. So I don't know that I believe that story,
but what has been confirmed confirmed what was he was
walking around the party. He was not appropriately dressed. It
was like a hoodie and jeans or sweatpants or something,
(29:42):
and was acting asking all these A list celebrities like
what's your first and last name? And are you famous?
And people were getting pissed. So apparently he approached Bill
Hayter from Saturday Night Live right and asked him the
same thing questions and he wasn't having it because he
(30:03):
was involved, allegedly in a very personal conversation with someone
about and this guy coming up and just and interrupting
did not go well. So that's what the fight was about.
Apparently is the parents were like what are you doing?
Like stop leave, Well.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
There's hater, yeah, because it's not his fault. Oh my god,
I just sat all around.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
They confirmed that they were killed in bed and that
the cleaning crew at the hotel where he was arrested,
when they went into the room there were like bloody
sheets like covering the windows, and allegedly this is what
was told. And so when the media was asking the
(30:57):
Los Angeles Police Department like should we be concerned? Is
there a serial killer on the list or whatever. They
were like, Nope, no need to be concerned because they
already had all the evidence they needed.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
So yeah, you know, it must be really really hard
to have a child who's not well mentally well years old.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Didn't rehab eighteen times. Oh that's rough. Ugh, that's rough.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Well, can you like, can we do something?
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Oh I have some I have something?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
What I have some positive stuff?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Okay? Please please and like that? No.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I watched the new season of Emily in Paris.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Oh it's so good.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
It's cute. I don't want to watch anything that's cute.
I watched Psycho the Lost Tapes of Edyean. He's the
guy that was like inspired Psycho.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Nothing says happy holidays, like I know, like I'm a sicko. Wow,
I'm sick.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I love that kind of stuff. I love murdery, psycho killer,
serial killer stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
I'm sorry, you need to watch dangerous Animals? What's that?
That was great?
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Is that? Like what I like?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
Say? Serial killer?
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Who feeds his prey to sharks? Okay, insane?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's I'm embarrassed to say. But that's the kind of
thing I watch, and I watch it and I fall
asleep to that kind of thing. Yeah, and I'm fine.
Oh wow, I'm totally losing it.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
This is oy keep it going. This will be great
for roams.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I'm gonna play you a song that I made for
my mom. Okay, this is the the song. Okay, our
new theme song. I wrote the lyrics, but I put
it through this app and it made the music. I
did the same thing with my mom. I wrote her
a song. I did the lyrics, but this is what
came out and it's so cool. Oh my god, I
can't believe this app. What is it's I'll tell you
(33:02):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
