Australia’s response to the antisemitic massacre over the weekend on Bondi Beach during the first night of Chanukkah is to enact even tougher gun laws. To more on Rob and Michele Reiner’s fatal stabbing at the alleged hands of his son Nick. According to reports, they’d earlier attended a holiday party at the home of Conan O'Brien but the family argued and left early, after Nick Reiner made people feel uncomfortable. The father and son made a film 10 years ago called “Being Charlie,” about substance abuse. Nick is presently being held without bail. Any “Bosch” fans? The Amazon LAPD detective drama, which stars actor Titus Welliver and has concluded its run, is set in Los Angeles and frames the City of Angels as a main character. The Swag Gap? It’s basically the thing where your partner is cooler than you are. The concept was created by a 20-year-old student named Dillon Escourse. Jerry O’Donnell, the actor who played Officer Servidone in “Bosch,” is now training to be a police officer — at age 65. Andy nerds out on old radio segments that exist on YouTube. He just loves that deep voice of God! Can we win $19,000 if we guess the music medley? What does AI mean for the future of humankind? Well, a streamer named IShowSpeed is being sued for assaulting gay robot named Jake the Rizzbot, who moved to Los Angeles and came out. The lawsuit is worth a whopping $1 million. In Michigan, gas is averaging $2.85 a gallon. We in SoCal are very jealous of that gas price.

You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We're still following all that breaking news that we were
talking about all day today on KFI on KTLA. We've
had two shootings over the weekend. One in Rhode Island
at Brown University. Two people are dead. Suspect still unaccounted for,
the FBI releasing some photos of the man. There was,
(00:30):
of course, the shooting in Australia we told about, told
you about fifteen people killed many other injured in an
attack on Sydney's Bondai Beach against the Jewish community on
the first night of Hanukkah. Among the new measures proposed
in Australia is limiting the number of guns as the
(00:52):
country attempts to tighten gun laws after that massacre. They
also would try to review license is that people had
held over time, essentially to check in people on people.
Prime Minister said the government is prepared to take whatever
action is necessary. Included in the need for tougher gun laws,
(01:13):
the country already has some of the toughest gun laws
in the world. Police shot the two suspected gunmen, a
father and son. Fifty year old father died at the scene.
As twenty four, twenty four year old son rather remains
in a coma. Police have not revealed their names. And
then finally still talking about Rob Reiner, the actor director
(01:39):
Hollywood scion, who the LAPD says was murdered along with
his wife by his son Nick. Here's some audio from that.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We're just able to confirm that the son of.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Tonight, to police say, the person responsible for the brutal
murders of Hollywood I called Rob Reiner and his wife
Michelle is their very own son.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
They worked throughout the night on this case and were
able to take into custody Nick Reiner, a suspect in
this case.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
The thirty two year old arrested at nine to fifteen
last night, according to police, less than six hours after
the disturbing discovery of the couple's bodies inside their Brentwood home.
We have two, a source close to the family telling
NBC News both appear to suffer fatal stab wounds. Nick
had been living with his parents on and off. According
(02:35):
to two sources with knowledge of the situation, why say,
the three attended a party thrown by Conan O'Brien on
Saturday night. Those sources tell us Nick was disruptive, and
made guests feel uncomfortable, adding that Rob and Michelle were
embarrassed by his behavior and even expressed warries about his health.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
All they ever wanted was a way to kill the noise.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Twenty fifteen, the father and son teamed up on the
movie Being Charlie, a film based on Nick's own struggles
with drugs.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
It's not a secret, but my son, Nick, who was
one of the writers of the screenplay, had had his
problems with substance abuse and he went through a number
of rehab programs.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
The Riders and their three children together recently photographed on
a red carpet in September.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's Nick in the middle.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yiner, the son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, first gained
famous Archie Bunker's son in law on All in the Family.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let me tell you something, mister Stiviick, you are a.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Meeting then pivoting to film writing and directing beloved movies
spanning genres. No, I was just pointing at it point
from The Princess Bride.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Life is pain highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
To redefining rom comps with When Harry met Sally, Yes, yes, Yes,
where Reiner gave his own mom famous cameo, I'll have
what she's having. He told stories about friendship and loss.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I'll see you if I see you.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
First, and perfected the courtroom drama with a few good
men and.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
What the truth?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You can't handle the truth today, Kevin Bacon, remembering his
time with Reiner on that set, the making of that
movie was one of the best experiences that I've ever had.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Well.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Jane Fund has said she just saw the couple's Saturday night,
calling them wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And Morgan Chesky joins us tonight live from that scene.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Morgan, when could Nick Reiner be charged?
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Yeah, that's how we know that. Lap detectives plan on
presenting their evidence to prosecutors tomorrow, with formal chargers anticipated
on Wednesday. As for the thirty two year old Reiner,
he remains behind bars, being held without bail.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just a really tragic end to what sounds like a
lifetime of struggles for that family as far as the
relationship with their son. And you got to think you
make it to seventy eight, your wife is sixty eight.
Rob Reiner's seventy eight years old, and it's just it's
(05:16):
an unthinkable thing to happen to be murdered by your
own son with a knife at close range. Nick Reiner
is being held without bail. TMZ reported earlier that he
had checked into a hotel in Santa Monica early on
Sunday morning. His hotel room, according to witnesses, was full
(05:43):
of blood, the shower and the bed when house keepers
went in on Sunday afternoon. I'm looking for the script here,
doing this really horrible thing on TMC where you scroll down,
you scroll up to where you're trying to read the
(06:04):
script so you can share the information with the people,
and then it won't stay there, It'll just scroll down. Okay,
So there that goes. I guess we've been remembering Rob Reiner,
and we're asking you to call in one and five
two zero one five, three four. We still have some
time to take some calls if you want to remember
some things about the director, or if you want to
share some things about some of the work that he did,
(06:25):
how that impacted you. A sad story. Indeed, there from Hollywood.
Let's shift some gears. Though you ever watched the show Bosh, Yeah,
Bosh is good.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I love Bosh cool.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, to get him on I have, I've interviewed it.
I haven't had him on the radio, but I interviewed
him at Katla. We did a segment about all of
the filming locations of Bosh.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Which, yeah, the house is famous, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The house is famous. But then you know they use
Los Angeles as kind of like another character in the.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Show was a cop before that house in the show.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So it's funny because it has explained that he sold
the rights to one of the stories that he had.
I believe of his this is all fictional right in
bos in bosh Land in the books. He served in
Gulf War One. I think in the show he's in
an Afghanistan vet because of the timeline. But he sold
(07:24):
the rights to the movie called The Black Echo, and
then they made a movie about it, so then he
could buy a house. But I did. I did a
piece a little while ago. It's a little bit. It's
a little long here. I'll play it for a second
for you, and it is about all of the filming
locations according to Titus Wellover, The Best Filming Locations, a
long running Amazon cop drama where Los Angeles is also
(07:47):
a star.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Maybe I love it so much that you want to
experience the show in real life.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Andy has done just that. Yes, first commit a murder. Ah,
then Bosh was one of the all time great La
shis is one of the few that still shot in
Los Angeles. And while the series concluded, it's run this year,
Bosch's La is still very much alive and well. And
who better to join us on this Bosh pilgrimage than
(08:13):
the star himself?
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Worst idea cook, We're always goofing, I said, how about
Bosch and Space?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh yeah, Bosh a long running series of Amazon shows
starring Titus Well, based on the book series by Michael Connolly.
It's the story of an laped detective where Los Angeles
is also a star.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
I think it's as central the character as Boss.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's a truly notable for its authentic representation of places
you don't always see on TV.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
We were not a West Side show. Bosh wasn't walking
Third Street prompt.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
No arawon for Bosh, Yeah no air Yeah, no arawon
for But we also enlisted Patrick Katy, who worked on
a ton of the episodes as either director or cinematographer.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, the number one thing in the Bosh World. Is
that we want to make the places look like places.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's here to tell us how they brought bosh is
La to life. If you want to see more about that,
you can find it on my Instagram at andy Ktla
or you can search Ultimate Bosh La filming locations. According
to Tiers Welliver, it's a great, great interview. I'm not
saying that because I did it. I'm saying he was
great in the interview, and we got to go to
those locations and really see how they brought, you know,
(09:23):
created the Bosch the Bosh world in La. And coming
up we'll talk about that show. One of the actors
has quit acting now that the show is over, to
become an actual police officer. That's got to be a first,
don't you think. I think only the guy who played
Eddie Haskell and leave It de Beaver has done that. Hey,
that's kind of cool. Plus everybody that was Raymond they
(09:46):
had that reunion special. Looks like we might get another
one of those. We'll tell you there. Plus the swag gap.
How much gas costs in Michigan. Yikes, Well, here to
Los Angeles and see how that.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
All is going the swag gap. I've been teasing it
for about two and a half hours, so it's mighty
time that we start talking about it. It's basically a
thing where your spouse is cooler than you are, or
you might be cooler than your spouse. Swag is that
sort of undescribable, undescribable confidence, that sense of cool. It's
(10:34):
not necessarily attractive. It's just like that you walk in
and have a presence and people are like, that's a
cool guy, or that's a cool girl, or that's a
cool somewhere in between. It goes back to this guy
named Dylan, who had meticulously curated his statement look. According
to this article from MSN, a man meticulously curating his
(11:00):
look is already a red flag. He arrived wearing a
thrifted orange zip up hoodie, a camouflage crop tea, and
bootcut jeans. He thought the aesthetic would compliment the venues
Latin and jazz scene. When you going dressed like the
actual place, it's a lot of effort. His date, who
(11:21):
he had been seeing for a couple months, showed up
in black Lululemon leggings, an oversized gray sweatshirt and dirty
Nike air forces. The casual sheikh look didn't go over
well with our guy, Dylan. He said the output didn't
match the vibe of the bar and took her choice
of clothing as a personal slight. It's amazing that men
(11:42):
are now able to act like women. He's a twenty
year old. He's a student at the University of Houston.
He says, you want to look good for the person
you're with, not throw on pajama pants and crocs. Brother,
if you can have that kind of opinion about the
(12:02):
dress of your partner, I don't know if it's gonna
go well for you in the rest of your life.
I just got I does can you imagine in any capacity?
And maybe this is too heteronormative or whatever gen Z
would say that I'm saying about this, But in my
dating days, if I ever took umbrage with the outfit
(12:27):
of my girlfriend, what do I want to die correct
of a suicidal break up with somebody because they didn't
dress as nice as I did. This guy must be
a male mind. He must be Timothy Shallon May Timothy Anyway,
(12:49):
It's this thing called the swag gap. It's a fundamental
difference in the way two people carry and present themselves,
beyond the beauty meets brain dynamic long depicted in popular culture.
According to this, it's more of an I'm dressed for
cocktail hour and my partner's dressed for a remote workday situation.
And according to social media, if this is true, a
(13:09):
sentence that I wish I never would have said. It's
a misalignment. It's a red flag get out before somebody
gets hurt. I understand this. If it's extreme. If one
person cares a lot about their appearance and the other
person doesn't care at all, that will be there will
(13:29):
be friction going forward. This is not a surprise. People
have said this about Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez, saying
that he looks like a slop, she's a movie star.
I think that's a little unfair. He seems like a
nice guy who seems to love her a lot, and
I think that that's why she likes him, because he's
(13:51):
all about her. There was a lot of conversation years
ago about the dad bought is actually what you want
in a partner if you're a woman, and I think
the same could be said about a man, because you
don't want your partner to be too attractive, because then
(14:13):
they have to be all about that. You're dating some
guy with an eight pack. You know what he's not
doing getting dessert with you, have another glass of wine.
He's going to the gym, he's working out. It's about
numru Oh No, don't date. Just date somebody who's like
(14:33):
a little bit just as you know you could date up.
What am I saying? This is insane? Where are you
going on? I know, but I just think it is.
It's like, uh, you know the swag gap thing? Sure,
why not?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All right, before we get out of here, I talked
about this before. Jerry O'Donnell best known to Bosh fans
for his role as Sergeant John Menkowitz or MANK. He's
the watch commander. I think is that the role that
he plays. You remember watching Bosh. No, I'm looking him up. Yeah,
I think he's his MANK. He's like the guy who
sits at the in the watch commander's station and he
(15:09):
does all the answer in the phones. Essentially he gets
involved in stuff, but he will be quitting acting, trading
scripts for squats, committing to police academy training at the
Ashville Police Department in North Carolina. This man is sixty
five years old. According to the police department, he's not
(15:31):
just the oldest recruit in decades, he might be the
oldest of the department has ever seen. But for our
buddy mank, the decision was not age related. It was
about purpose. He told a local news outlet the grueling
physical training was a welcome challenge, and he says he's
been chasing that kind of purpose since he served in
(15:53):
the Army's eighty second Airborne Division. I didn't know that,
he That's awesome. He says. He finishes each day exhausted
because it gives him an idea of what sacrifice should
be about. He says, I think when you slide into
home at the end of your life, you want to
be all used up, you know, dirty, scarred up, a
(16:13):
little bloody, and.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Spent Instead, how about counseling.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Sixty five then will do literally anything except go to
counsel Yeah, this is true. Sixty five. Come on, I
mean listen, he's I respect it. He seems like he's
in well enough shape.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To do it. It's pretty cool that he had such
a positive experience on the set of Bosh. We know
it was very realistic. Didn't know that it actually inspired
some of the actors, or at least one of them,
to become a police officer.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Very cool. Maybe he could have a conversation with somebody
about the concept of esthetic distance. It's a show.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, this is method acting.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Okay, all right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:01):

Man?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
He's a cowboy through and through. You know he wears
a smokey the bear hat. That's like his signature thing too.
Oh yes, And I want to go back to something
he said in the interview, which is that when he
went to k Earth one on one, they gave him
more money than he could ever imagine. In the book,
he says he talks to his agent and the agent says,
ask for this amount of money, and He's like, I
could never I could never ask for that much money.
(21:38):
That's crazy. So he goes into the meeting, he asks
for that amount of money and they're like, that's all
you want? And I was like, I hope that he
tells me how much money that was, because in context,
I'd love to figure out what that is. But there's
I can't imagine. Back in the day, fm ateed k
(21:58):
Earth one oh one back in the night. God, they
got to be they had to be making lots of money.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Oh, I'm sure times have changed.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Times have changed. Glenn Walker always tells me on the
ten years too Late club, which means you're of a
thirty years too late club, because he was talking about
the guys who came ten years before him, who were
doing shows maybe an hour a night, two hours a
night here in Los Angeles. I won't say any names
(22:26):
or anything like that, but we're talking seventies, eighties, maybe
into the early nineties. Anchors in the evening in Los
Angeles were making millions of dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Oh yeah, back in the seventies, that's when these jobs
came with a coke stipend that's.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well two and a half million bucks common, and that
was just for the coke. But also, can you put
that into perspective, though, because in nineteen seventy five or
even nineteen eighty five, how much was two and a
half million dollars then compared to today?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
What two and a half million dollars a year bought
you back in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yeah, I don't have immediate access to an inflation calculator.
I'll tell you what, that's a lot of do. If
you kill a little time, I'll do a little inflation calculator.
It's just going to depress me. That's okay.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
What we work in the news, bucko, Everything we do
depresses us. Oh yeah, that's right, all right. Should we
do like a kind of mini whip around? What do
we think two point five million dollars was in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I'd say ten million? Okay, foosh, uh yeah, I think
eight and a half.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Nikki fifteen million?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Oh my god, this is killing me.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
In nineteen seventy two million, five hundred thousand dollars had
the same buying power in September of twenty twenty five
as twenty one million dollars. Okay, wow, twenty one million,
four hundred and eighty four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Definitely in the thirty years too late club.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
This is why they all flew airplanes, is because every
year they could buy a new lear jet and have
money left over.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Can somebody talk to the student loan people for me?
This is so depressive.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Don't know, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
They're gonna break my kneecaps, and these guys were talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
That's right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
They had like a scarface mountains of coke. I mean,
that is bonkers. Let's just okay, let's just jump ahead.
This is the last thing, and then we'll send it
over for news. Here.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Let's say nineteen ninety. If you're making two point five
and nineteen ninety, that is the equivalent of six point
four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I could scrape by on that. I think I could
make it Work'd be okay. I might still have to
do a radio and a TV gig. I mean with
extreme austerity, like you know, yeah, no chauffeur, No, I'd
have to fly my own private jet. Yeah, things I'll do.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Talking to George Nori to let us know what's coming
up here on coast to coast in just a couple
of minutes. Good evening, George, Yandy, Good evening.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Now almost Chrystmas is getting closer.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Huh yeah, what are we like a week and a
half away?
Speaker 9 (25:16):
You got it. We're going to be live that night,
by the way, so everybody knows. But on the show
tonight we're going to talk a little bit about the
wonders of Mars and then later on consciousness and how
we can use it to our advantage on Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Thank you so much, George. We'll be listening real soon.
Consciousness should I should have thought about that. Here I
am the whole time I've been on autopilot. If I
had just tried a little bit more. This is an
interesting thing that kind of reminds me of something that
maybe you might hear on Coast to Coast about robots
(25:50):
and AI and the future of technology and what it
means for us as people. Here's the headline. Sued for
assaulting gay robot. Earlier this year, a cowboy hat toting
bipedal robot dubbed Jake the Risbot, burst onto the scene.
(26:11):
First he showed up in Austin, Texas, went viral on
social media. He had a flashy cowboy hat, a chain necklace,
and a strong preference for gen Z alpha slang. Weeks later,
he's a four foot tall silver robot with a hat,
moved to West Hollywood, seemingly came out as gay was
(26:32):
wearing rainbow attire, but somewhere along the line for Jake
the Risbot, the Hollywood Dream turned into a nightmare. Complex
Magazine says the robot was allegedly assaulted and permanently damaged
in a live stream by a creator known online as
(26:53):
I Show Speed or Darren Jason Watkins Junior. The person
who put the robot together, Social Robotics, filed a lawsuit
against the video game streamer for a million dollars in
monetary relief. The lawsuit says that the guy became angry
and agitated and eventually intentionally assaulted the robot. Now, what
(27:18):
is strange about this, in addition to everything, is that
footage online shows this guy getting into an altercation with
the robot. He live streamed the whole thing. He sucker
punches it, puts it in a chokehold, shoves it onto
the sofa, and then pushes it to the ground. As
(27:40):
futurism dot Com points out, this is odd. It's baffling
because presumably this guy, the real one, was doing this
as a bit to gain notoriety on his live stream
on Twitch. Maybe it went too far. The lawsuit says
(28:01):
that the damages suffered that Risbot suffered on livestream meant
that it was a total loss. It had to cancel
a co hosting opportunity with Jimmy Donaldson, who you also
know as Mister Beast. Risbot couldn't go on the NFL
Today Show on CBS. The lawsuit says it's no doubt
(28:22):
a monumental setback for the Risbot in terms of financial
gain from exposure and viral momentum being in a Mister
Beasts productions akin to being in a Super Bowl commercial.
Sometimes I just can't. I can't take it. He has
a Risbot risen again though he was a I believe
appearing on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. He's going
(28:46):
to be making more appearances coming soon. In Michigan, gas
prices are averaging two dollars and eighty five cents a
gallon at Costco. It's like almost five bucks. Still in
Los Angeles. I was interested in this story because I
thought it was a misprint. I clicked on it and
I said, oh, yeah, look at that two dollars and
eighty five cents a gallon. It was posted on a website,
(29:09):
a local publication in Michigan. So I clicked on that
publication and then on the front page, I was like, oh,
this is this is why. This is why because it
was a photo from the upper peninsula of Lake Superior,
and the waves were frozen like a tunnel, like an
(29:31):
ice tunnel frozen in mid It's very cold up there, picturesque.
The thing about the gas coming down is like the
one thing that is getting a little cheaper. So no
matter where you travel, with the cheap gas, you can't
afford to buy anything. Ah, very good point. Yeah, dinners
now just extremely expensive. We're in the appetizer economy. According
(29:55):
to one food service expert, I don't want you got
to do to be a food service exper. I feel
like I eat enough food pretty much an expert on it.
I go out to eat enough.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (30:08):

KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app,
(31:10):
kf I AM
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We're still following all that breaking news that we were
talking about all day today on KFI on KTLA. We've
had two shootings over the weekend. One in Rhode Island
at Brown University. Two people are dead. Suspect still unaccounted for,
the FBI releasing some photos of the man. There was,
(00:30):
of course, the shooting in Australia we told about, told
you about fifteen people killed many other injured in an
attack on Sydney's Bondai Beach against the Jewish community on
the first night of Hanukkah. Among the new measures proposed
in Australia is limiting the number of guns as the
(00:52):
country attempts to tighten gun laws after that massacre. They
also would try to review license is that people had
held over time, essentially to check in people on people.
Prime Minister said the government is prepared to take whatever
action is necessary. Included in the need for tougher gun laws,
(01:13):
the country already has some of the toughest gun laws
in the world. Police shot the two suspected gunmen, a
father and son. Fifty year old father died at the scene.
As twenty four, twenty four year old son rather remains
in a coma. Police have not revealed their names. And
then finally still talking about Rob Reiner, the actor director
(01:39):
Hollywood scion, who the LAPD says was murdered along with
his wife by his son Nick. Here's some audio from that.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We're just able to confirm that the son of.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Tonight, to police say, the person responsible for the brutal
murders of Hollywood I called Rob Reiner and his wife
Michelle is their very own son.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
They worked throughout the night on this case and were
able to take into custody Nick Reiner, a suspect in
this case.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
The thirty two year old arrested at nine to fifteen
last night, according to police, less than six hours after
the disturbing discovery of the couple's bodies inside their Brentwood home.
We have two, a source close to the family telling
NBC News both appear to suffer fatal stab wounds. Nick
had been living with his parents on and off. According
(02:35):
to two sources with knowledge of the situation, why say,
the three attended a party thrown by Conan O'Brien on
Saturday night. Those sources tell us Nick was disruptive, and
made guests feel uncomfortable, adding that Rob and Michelle were
embarrassed by his behavior and even expressed warries about his health.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
All they ever wanted was a way to kill the noise.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Twenty fifteen, the father and son teamed up on the
movie Being Charlie, a film based on Nick's own struggles
with drugs.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
It's not a secret, but my son, Nick, who was
one of the writers of the screenplay, had had his
problems with substance abuse and he went through a number
of rehab programs.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
The Riders and their three children together recently photographed on
a red carpet in September.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
That's Nick in the middle.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Yiner, the son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, first gained
famous Archie Bunker's son in law on All in the Family.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Let me tell you something, mister Stiviick, you are a.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Meeting then pivoting to film writing and directing beloved movies
spanning genres. No, I was just pointing at it point
from The Princess Bride.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Life is pain highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
To redefining rom comps with When Harry met Sally, Yes, yes, Yes,
where Reiner gave his own mom famous cameo, I'll have
what she's having. He told stories about friendship and loss.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I'll see you if I see you.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
First, and perfected the courtroom drama with a few good
men and.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
What the truth?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
You can't handle the truth today, Kevin Bacon, remembering his
time with Reiner on that set, the making of that
movie was one of the best experiences that I've ever had.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Well.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Jane Fund has said she just saw the couple's Saturday night,
calling them wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And Morgan Chesky joins us tonight live from that scene.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Morgan, when could Nick Reiner be charged?
Speaker 7 (04:42):
Yeah, that's how we know that. Lap detectives plan on
presenting their evidence to prosecutors tomorrow, with formal chargers anticipated
on Wednesday. As for the thirty two year old Reiner,
he remains behind bars, being held without bail.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Just a really tragic end to what sounds like a
lifetime of struggles for that family as far as the
relationship with their son. And you got to think you
make it to seventy eight, your wife is sixty eight.
Rob Reiner's seventy eight years old, and it's just it's
(05:16):
an unthinkable thing to happen to be murdered by your
own son with a knife at close range. Nick Reiner
is being held without bail. TMZ reported earlier that he
had checked into a hotel in Santa Monica early on
Sunday morning. His hotel room, according to witnesses, was full
(05:43):
of blood, the shower and the bed when house keepers
went in on Sunday afternoon. I'm looking for the script here,
doing this really horrible thing on TMC where you scroll down,
you scroll up to where you're trying to read the
(06:04):
script so you can share the information with the people,
and then it won't stay there, It'll just scroll down. Okay,
So there that goes. I guess we've been remembering Rob Reiner,
and we're asking you to call in one and five
two zero one five, three four. We still have some
time to take some calls if you want to remember
some things about the director, or if you want to
share some things about some of the work that he did,
(06:25):
how that impacted you. A sad story. Indeed, there from Hollywood.
Let's shift some gears. Though you ever watched the show Bosh, Yeah,
Bosh is good.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I love Bosh cool.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, to get him on I have, I've interviewed it.
I haven't had him on the radio, but I interviewed
him at Katla. We did a segment about all of
the filming locations of Bosh.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Which, yeah, the house is famous, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
The house is famous. But then you know they use
Los Angeles as kind of like another character in the.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Show was a cop before that house in the show.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
So it's funny because it has explained that he sold
the rights to one of the stories that he had.
I believe of his this is all fictional right in
bos in bosh Land in the books. He served in
Gulf War One. I think in the show he's in
an Afghanistan vet because of the timeline. But he sold
(07:24):
the rights to the movie called The Black Echo, and
then they made a movie about it, so then he
could buy a house. But I did. I did a
piece a little while ago. It's a little bit. It's
a little long here. I'll play it for a second
for you, and it is about all of the filming
locations according to Titus Wellover, The Best Filming Locations, a
long running Amazon cop drama where Los Angeles is also
(07:47):
a star.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Maybe I love it so much that you want to
experience the show in real life.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Andy has done just that. Yes, first commit a murder. Ah,
then Bosh was one of the all time great La
shis is one of the few that still shot in
Los Angeles. And while the series concluded, it's run this year,
Bosch's La is still very much alive and well. And
who better to join us on this Bosh pilgrimage than
(08:13):
the star himself?
Speaker 8 (08:15):
Worst idea cook, We're always goofing, I said, how about
Bosch and Space?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh yeah, Bosh a long running series of Amazon shows
starring Titus Well, based on the book series by Michael Connolly.
It's the story of an laped detective where Los Angeles
is also a star.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
I think it's as central the character as Boss.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
It's a truly notable for its authentic representation of places
you don't always see on TV.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
We were not a West Side show. Bosh wasn't walking
Third Street prompt.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
No arawon for Bosh, Yeah no air Yeah, no arawon
for But we also enlisted Patrick Katy, who worked on
a ton of the episodes as either director or cinematographer.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, the number one thing in the Bosh World. Is
that we want to make the places look like places.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
He's here to tell us how they brought bosh is
La to life. If you want to see more about that,
you can find it on my Instagram at andy Ktla
or you can search Ultimate Bosh La filming locations. According
to Tiers Welliver, it's a great, great interview. I'm not
saying that because I did it. I'm saying he was
great in the interview, and we got to go to
those locations and really see how they brought, you know,
(09:23):
created the Bosch the Bosh world in La. And coming
up we'll talk about that show. One of the actors
has quit acting now that the show is over, to
become an actual police officer. That's got to be a first,
don't you think. I think only the guy who played
Eddie Haskell and leave It de Beaver has done that. Hey,
that's kind of cool. Plus everybody that was Raymond they
(09:46):
had that reunion special. Looks like we might get another
one of those. We'll tell you there. Plus the swag gap.
How much gas costs in Michigan. Yikes, Well, here to
Los Angeles and see how that.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
All is going the swag gap. I've been teasing it
for about two and a half hours, so it's mighty
time that we start talking about it. It's basically a
thing where your spouse is cooler than you are, or
you might be cooler than your spouse. Swag is that
sort of undescribable, undescribable confidence, that sense of cool. It's
(10:34):
not necessarily attractive. It's just like that you walk in
and have a presence and people are like, that's a
cool guy, or that's a cool girl, or that's a
cool somewhere in between. It goes back to this guy
named Dylan, who had meticulously curated his statement look. According
to this article from MSN, a man meticulously curating his
(11:00):
look is already a red flag. He arrived wearing a
thrifted orange zip up hoodie, a camouflage crop tea, and
bootcut jeans. He thought the aesthetic would compliment the venues
Latin and jazz scene. When you going dressed like the
actual place, it's a lot of effort. His date, who
(11:21):
he had been seeing for a couple months, showed up
in black Lululemon leggings, an oversized gray sweatshirt and dirty
Nike air forces. The casual sheikh look didn't go over
well with our guy, Dylan. He said the output didn't
match the vibe of the bar and took her choice
of clothing as a personal slight. It's amazing that men
(11:42):
are now able to act like women. He's a twenty
year old. He's a student at the University of Houston.
He says, you want to look good for the person
you're with, not throw on pajama pants and crocs. Brother,
if you can have that kind of opinion about the
(12:02):
dress of your partner, I don't know if it's gonna
go well for you in the rest of your life.
I just got I does can you imagine in any capacity?
And maybe this is too heteronormative or whatever gen Z
would say that I'm saying about this, But in my
dating days, if I ever took umbrage with the outfit
(12:27):
of my girlfriend, what do I want to die correct
of a suicidal break up with somebody because they didn't
dress as nice as I did. This guy must be
a male mind. He must be Timothy Shallon May Timothy Anyway,
(12:49):
It's this thing called the swag gap. It's a fundamental
difference in the way two people carry and present themselves,
beyond the beauty meets brain dynamic long depicted in popular culture.
According to this, it's more of an I'm dressed for
cocktail hour and my partner's dressed for a remote workday situation.
And according to social media, if this is true, a
(13:09):
sentence that I wish I never would have said. It's
a misalignment. It's a red flag get out before somebody
gets hurt. I understand this. If it's extreme. If one
person cares a lot about their appearance and the other
person doesn't care at all, that will be there will
(13:29):
be friction going forward. This is not a surprise. People
have said this about Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez, saying
that he looks like a slop, she's a movie star.
I think that's a little unfair. He seems like a
nice guy who seems to love her a lot, and
I think that that's why she likes him, because he's
(13:51):
all about her. There was a lot of conversation years
ago about the dad bought is actually what you want
in a partner if you're a woman, and I think
the same could be said about a man, because you
don't want your partner to be too attractive, because then
(14:13):
they have to be all about that. You're dating some
guy with an eight pack. You know what he's not
doing getting dessert with you, have another glass of wine.
He's going to the gym, he's working out. It's about
numru Oh No, don't date. Just date somebody who's like
(14:33):
a little bit just as you know you could date up.
What am I saying? This is insane? Where are you
going on? I know, but I just think it is.
It's like, uh, you know the swag gap thing? Sure,
why not?
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
All right, before we get out of here, I talked
about this before. Jerry O'Donnell best known to Bosh fans
for his role as Sergeant John Menkowitz or MANK. He's
the watch commander. I think is that the role that
he plays. You remember watching Bosh. No, I'm looking him up. Yeah,
I think he's his MANK. He's like the guy who
sits at the in the watch commander's station and he
(15:09):
does all the answer in the phones. Essentially he gets
involved in stuff, but he will be quitting acting, trading
scripts for squats, committing to police academy training at the
Ashville Police Department in North Carolina. This man is sixty
five years old. According to the police department, he's not
(15:31):
just the oldest recruit in decades, he might be the
oldest of the department has ever seen. But for our
buddy mank, the decision was not age related. It was
about purpose. He told a local news outlet the grueling
physical training was a welcome challenge, and he says he's
been chasing that kind of purpose since he served in
(15:53):
the Army's eighty second Airborne Division. I didn't know that,
he That's awesome. He says. He finishes each day exhausted
because it gives him an idea of what sacrifice should
be about. He says, I think when you slide into
home at the end of your life, you want to
be all used up, you know, dirty, scarred up, a
(16:13):
little bloody, and.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Spent Instead, how about counseling.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
No.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Sixty five then will do literally anything except go to
counsel Yeah, this is true. Sixty five. Come on, I
mean listen, he's I respect it. He seems like he's
in well enough shape.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
To do it. It's pretty cool that he had such
a positive experience on the set of Bosh. We know
it was very realistic. Didn't know that it actually inspired
some of the actors, or at least one of them,
to become a police officer.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Very cool. Maybe he could have a conversation with somebody
about the concept of esthetic distance. It's a show.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
No, this is method acting.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Okay, all right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I was during the commercial break. Spend a little time
on YouTube, and I will not subject to you to

three hundred hurtz range, it's down there like a bass guitar,
it's called the brown note. The brown note does that
because it loosens up.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Yes, I don't think that's the brown note unless it
had that effect on you specifically. Yes, Okay, oh my god, wow.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Nineteen thousand dollars cash. Just tell us the five titles

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Current money music medley and you're an instant winner.

We'll split it among all of us.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I need that nineteen grand Do you think if I called.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Him up again and I was like, hey, we know
the music medley give us nineteen thousand dollars Shotgun Tom Kelly?
Would he let us? Would he let us have some?
Speaker 3 (21:10):
And with a name like Shotgun Tom, shouldn't you be
riding on top of a stage coach?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Man?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
He's a cowboy through and through. You know he wears
a smokey the bear hat. That's like his signature thing too.
Oh yes, And I want to go back to something
he said in the interview, which is that when he
went to k Earth one on one, they gave him
more money than he could ever imagine. In the book,
he says he talks to his agent and the agent says,
ask for this amount of money, and He's like, I
could never I could never ask for that much money.
(21:38):
That's crazy. So he goes into the meeting, he asks
for that amount of money and they're like, that's all
you want? And I was like, I hope that he
tells me how much money that was, because in context,
I'd love to figure out what that is. But there's
I can't imagine. Back in the day, fm ateed k
(21:58):
Earth one oh one back in the night. God, they
got to be they had to be making lots of money.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Oh, I'm sure times have changed.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Times have changed. Glenn Walker always tells me on the
ten years too Late club, which means you're of a
thirty years too late club, because he was talking about
the guys who came ten years before him, who were
doing shows maybe an hour a night, two hours a
night here in Los Angeles. I won't say any names
(22:26):
or anything like that, but we're talking seventies, eighties, maybe
into the early nineties. Anchors in the evening in Los
Angeles were making millions of dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Oh yeah, back in the seventies, that's when these jobs
came with a coke stipend that's.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well two and a half million bucks common, and that
was just for the coke. But also, can you put
that into perspective, though, because in nineteen seventy five or
even nineteen eighty five, how much was two and a
half million dollars then compared to today?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
What two and a half million dollars a year bought
you back in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Yeah, I don't have immediate access to an inflation calculator.
I'll tell you what, that's a lot of do. If
you kill a little time, I'll do a little inflation calculator.
It's just going to depress me. That's okay.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
What we work in the news, bucko, Everything we do
depresses us. Oh yeah, that's right, all right. Should we
do like a kind of mini whip around? What do
we think two point five million dollars was in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
I'd say ten million? Okay, foosh, uh yeah, I think
eight and a half.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Nikki fifteen million?
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Oh my god, this is killing me.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
In nineteen seventy two million, five hundred thousand dollars had
the same buying power in September of twenty twenty five
as twenty one million dollars. Okay, wow, twenty one million,
four hundred and eighty four thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Definitely in the thirty years too late club.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
This is why they all flew airplanes, is because every
year they could buy a new lear jet and have
money left over.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Can somebody talk to the student loan people for me?
This is so depressive.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Don't know, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
They're gonna break my kneecaps, and these guys were talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
That's right, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
They had like a scarface mountains of coke. I mean,
that is bonkers. Let's just okay, let's just jump ahead.
This is the last thing, and then we'll send it
over for news. Here.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Let's say nineteen ninety. If you're making two point five
and nineteen ninety, that is the equivalent of six point
four million dollars.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I could scrape by on that. I think I could
make it Work'd be okay. I might still have to
do a radio and a TV gig. I mean with
extreme austerity, like you know, yeah, no chauffeur, No, I'd
have to fly my own private jet. Yeah, things I'll do.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Talking to George Nori to let us know what's coming
up here on coast to coast in just a couple
of minutes. Good evening, George, Yandy, Good evening.
Speaker 9 (25:11):
Now almost Chrystmas is getting closer.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Huh yeah, what are we like a week and a
half away?
Speaker 9 (25:16):
You got it. We're going to be live that night,
by the way, so everybody knows. But on the show
tonight we're going to talk a little bit about the
wonders of Mars and then later on consciousness and how
we can use it to our advantage on Coast to Coast.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Thank you so much, George. We'll be listening real soon.
Consciousness should I should have thought about that. Here I
am the whole time I've been on autopilot. If I
had just tried a little bit more. This is an
interesting thing that kind of reminds me of something that
maybe you might hear on Coast to Coast about robots
(25:50):
and AI and the future of technology and what it
means for us as people. Here's the headline. Sued for
assaulting gay robot. Earlier this year, a cowboy hat toting
bipedal robot dubbed Jake the Risbot, burst onto the scene.
(26:11):
First he showed up in Austin, Texas, went viral on
social media. He had a flashy cowboy hat, a chain necklace,
and a strong preference for gen Z alpha slang. Weeks later,
he's a four foot tall silver robot with a hat,
moved to West Hollywood, seemingly came out as gay was
(26:32):
wearing rainbow attire, but somewhere along the line for Jake
the Risbot, the Hollywood Dream turned into a nightmare. Complex
Magazine says the robot was allegedly assaulted and permanently damaged
in a live stream by a creator known online as
(26:53):
I Show Speed or Darren Jason Watkins Junior. The person
who put the robot together, Social Robotics, filed a lawsuit
against the video game streamer for a million dollars in
monetary relief. The lawsuit says that the guy became angry
and agitated and eventually intentionally assaulted the robot. Now, what
(27:18):
is strange about this, in addition to everything, is that
footage online shows this guy getting into an altercation with
the robot. He live streamed the whole thing. He sucker
punches it, puts it in a chokehold, shoves it onto
the sofa, and then pushes it to the ground. As
(27:40):
futurism dot Com points out, this is odd. It's baffling
because presumably this guy, the real one, was doing this
as a bit to gain notoriety on his live stream
on Twitch. Maybe it went too far. The lawsuit says
(28:01):
that the damages suffered that Risbot suffered on livestream meant
that it was a total loss. It had to cancel
a co hosting opportunity with Jimmy Donaldson, who you also
know as Mister Beast. Risbot couldn't go on the NFL
Today Show on CBS. The lawsuit says it's no doubt
(28:22):
a monumental setback for the Risbot in terms of financial
gain from exposure and viral momentum being in a Mister
Beasts productions akin to being in a Super Bowl commercial.
Sometimes I just can't. I can't take it. He has
a Risbot risen again though he was a I believe
appearing on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. He's going
(28:46):
to be making more appearances coming soon. In Michigan, gas
prices are averaging two dollars and eighty five cents a
gallon at Costco. It's like almost five bucks. Still in
Los Angeles. I was interested in this story because I
thought it was a misprint. I clicked on it and
I said, oh, yeah, look at that two dollars and
eighty five cents a gallon. It was posted on a website,
(29:09):
a local publication in Michigan. So I clicked on that
publication and then on the front page, I was like, oh,
this is this is why. This is why because it
was a photo from the upper peninsula of Lake Superior,
and the waves were frozen like a tunnel, like an
(29:31):
ice tunnel frozen in mid It's very cold up there, picturesque.
The thing about the gas coming down is like the
one thing that is getting a little cheaper. So no
matter where you travel, with the cheap gas, you can't
afford to buy anything. Ah, very good point. Yeah, dinners
now just extremely expensive. We're in the appetizer economy. According
(29:55):
to one food service expert, I don't want you got
to do to be a food service exper. I feel
like I eat enough food pretty much an expert on it.
I go out to eat enough.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
