00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:00:59.940 I want to get back a little bit to the
00:01:01.440 Hollywood celebrities
00:01:03.680 and some of these deaths. Of course.
00:01:05.260 Of course. Jim Norton's here.
00:01:08.060 Hollywood. So you've been in a couple of
00:01:09.500 That's right. More celebrity talk.
00:01:11.740 Spider-Man.
00:01:13.280 I think nowadays
00:01:15.400 we look at Hollywood and
00:01:17.640 the glitter
00:01:19.840 in Tinseltown
00:01:21.420 is definitely tarnished. It's not what it used
00:01:23.520 to be people don't have this adoration for for celebrities anymore i hate them they hate them
00:01:29.740 yeah and i remember years ago watching the tonight show johnny carson these celebrities would come on
00:01:35.320 and they never talked politics it was i'm opening in vegas i was hanging out with jimmy i was hanging
00:01:41.460 out with this guy and it was all fun and they never got serious and then for some reason they
00:01:48.040 started opening their yaps about politics and what we should be doing from you know their gated
00:01:54.900 house in beverly hills or wherever bel-air and uh and people started hating them and uh and then
00:02:02.500 there's the other part with the supposed andrena chrome and the child abuse and and and all that
00:02:10.320 that stuff and then i was looking back and thinking what's adrenochrome like child blood or
00:02:14.580 something yeah it's like supposed to be some kind of serum they come up with and if you you have to
00:02:20.440 frighten the kid the kid's got to go through like a living hell and the adrenaline pumps into their
00:02:25.420 rug must be covered in it yeah and they they uh somehow consume it and it it's like the fountain
00:02:42.720 youth kind of a thing. It keeps them good
00:02:44.820 looking and popular.
00:02:47.720 Yeah, and that's
00:02:48.660 so there's so many of these stories. And then you see
00:02:50.680 real life things happening
00:02:52.160 like what's happening
00:02:54.860 with, what's his name there? Justin
00:02:56.700 Bieber and Britney Spears
00:02:58.700 is a mental patient. She's always been
00:03:00.780 crazy though. She's always been nuts. And
00:03:02.600 you look back at her father, hey, maybe he was right
00:03:04.740 to try to put her in a conservatorship because
00:03:06.760 she's crazy. But why was she crazy?
00:03:08.640 Because no one thought she was crazy
00:03:10.840 back in the old days where she was doing
00:03:12.700 the videos and everything was popular
00:03:14.700 she was just a pop star
00:03:16.120 maybe they hid that from everybody
00:03:18.720 but later on you realize
00:03:20.140 and you can only assume it's because they go through
00:03:22.800 so much horrible
00:03:24.860 trauma
00:03:25.560 being run through the Hollywood
00:03:28.320 and the music industry mill
00:03:30.860 Justin Bieber is
00:03:32.600 out of his mind
00:03:33.400 and all those stories
00:03:36.620 are coming out about the Diddy parties
00:03:38.000 and what happened to this kid
00:03:40.200 when he would go to the Diddy parties
00:03:42.660 and whatnot and like that's part of this celebrity cabal how much of it is that though and how or
00:03:50.940 how much of it is just being that famous when you're that young like it's crazy like when the
00:03:56.240 whole world knows who you are when you're 15 every mistake you make is documented every dumb thing
00:04:01.900 you do is is like everyone sees it like even Gary Coleman didn't have a great ending and he's one
00:04:08.780 kid that no one thinks anyone molested.
00:04:11.180 And yet Gary Coleman wound up just falling
00:04:12.720 down his basement steps with his wife's
00:04:14.800 footprint in his back.
00:04:18.720 In his tiny little security guard
00:04:20.740 uniform.
00:04:22.440 God, what a horrible ending. I mean, he's
00:04:24.720 the cutest kid on earth and all of a sudden just something
00:04:26.740 happens. There's a string of
00:04:28.640 Mr. Big rolls and then he refuses
00:04:30.700 to sign my different strokes.
00:04:32.340 Remember he wouldn't sign it? Yeah.
00:04:34.420 It could be. Like that whole different
00:04:36.680 strokes thing, all
00:04:38.700 the kids dana plato and uh what you're talking about willis bridges uh they all had issues and
00:04:45.600 and huge problems so you think maybe it's just combined combination some people probably because
00:04:51.820 there was sex and some people probably just that it's being that famous but then you get someone
00:04:56.720 like leonardo dicaprio who was a child actor yeah obviously uh and and he seems you know who knows
00:05:05.540 But he's definitely not – he didn't kill himself.
00:05:09.140 No.
00:05:09.180 He doesn't have these drug problems.
00:05:10.660 He does seem to like 25-year-olds.
00:05:12.800 Sure.
00:05:13.060 So he's perfectly healthy.
00:05:14.060 Normal.
00:05:14.680 A normal guy.
00:05:15.620 Look at Ron Howard.
00:05:16.460 I mean, since he was a kid on the Andy Griffith Show.
00:05:18.280 Yeah, yeah.
00:05:18.840 And then Richie Cunningham, and he stayed pretty normal.
00:05:21.520 So I would assume, you know, I guess different people.
00:05:24.440 Maybe, yeah.
00:05:25.040 Through different things.
00:05:25.840 But I kind of – with the stories that come out, I would think some terrible things happen to these kids.
00:05:31.120 Possible, yeah.
00:05:31.500 these kids and uh you know that's kind of the newer thing we get but the old school hollywood
00:05:37.300 was just as bad in other ways oh my god they were all drunks like crazy abusive drunks they got
00:05:45.120 married five times they had kids with different wives neglected them and then they'd off themselves
00:05:52.640 or die in some horrific car crash because they were hammered so it's just a different type of uh
00:05:58.340 horror that was going on back in those
00:06:00.560 days. Did you see the clip that was going
00:06:02.420 around recently? It was either Judy Garland
00:06:04.700 or Shirley Temple when they were older
00:06:06.320 telling a funny
00:06:08.300 story about going into a
00:06:10.420 giant executive meeting
00:06:12.560 when they were kids. Shirley Temple. It was
00:06:14.460 Shirley Temple. Yeah, that's brutal.
00:06:16.340 She was probably Shirley Temple Black by that point.
00:06:18.140 She was married.
00:06:19.460 And she
00:06:20.960 said that they split her up and that her
00:06:24.420 mother went into one room with one executive and she
00:06:26.420 went in and i googled the guy he was a real guy and she said she walked in and the guy was just
00:06:31.160 naked or he took his clothes off and he's like 60 yeah and she started laughing it's a fun story
00:06:36.300 she's a kid sure so she saw it and saw the guy got mad that a child was laughing at his uh
00:06:42.280 yeah well it's humiliating yeah but you know uh just terrible people the casting couch stories
00:06:50.080 they all come from some element of uh of fact and truth and she was talking about it and laughing
00:06:55.480 as an adult about like my mother said the same thing happened to her like yeah they just didn't
00:06:59.960 look at it the same back despicable people crazy come on in here yeah here's my uh penis uh we'll

00:08:25.080 for that. He's awesome. Um, there was something else I wanted to get to. Oh, I was still talking
00:08:30.480 a little bit about Hollywood cause there was one other celebrity that I brought up, uh, that, that
00:08:34.720 I, I, I looked at Albert Salmi, this guy, he was, um, a celebrity. Yeah. He's an actor,
00:08:42.820 But he was in a lot of Twilight Zones.
00:08:45.480 He was also, if you remember, in Caddyshack, he was Danny Noonan's father at the beginning.
00:08:50.900 Where he goes, I saw that.
00:08:52.720 He goes, oh, I bought a Coke.
00:08:53.820 He goes, what are you, a diabetic?
00:08:55.720 I don't remember it.
00:08:56.680 Yeah, he was an actor.
00:08:58.000 But he's another one that decided that him and his wife didn't need to continue anymore.
00:09:04.480 Yeah, you probably recognize his face.
00:09:06.780 Wow.
00:09:07.200 But he's in a lot of Twilight Zones.
00:09:09.620 And let's see, April 23rd, 1990.
00:09:13.760 Okay.
00:09:14.920 But it's not a short time ago.
00:09:17.260 35 years ago.
00:09:18.000 A long time ago.
00:09:18.880 I still think the 90s are like yesterday.
00:09:20.440 35 years ago.
00:09:21.760 Him and his estranged wife, estranged wife, Roberta, were found dead in their Spokane, Washington home by a friend who stopped by to check on her.
00:09:29.900 According to newspaper accounts, Salmi fatally shot Roberta in the kitchen of her home, where she should have been.
00:09:36.020 Absolutely.
00:09:37.040 It was either going to be there or in the bathroom.
00:09:38.880 I might say the bedroom.
00:09:40.320 Of course.
00:09:41.120 Once you're done rattling those pots and pans, get your ass into the bedroom.
00:09:44.220 Clumsily tripped.
00:09:46.060 Sorry.
00:09:46.460 And he shot her and then turned the gun on himself upstairs.
00:09:52.560 And oof.
00:09:53.880 But there's so many of those from the old days.
00:09:56.000 Murder, suicides?
00:09:56.840 Yeah.
00:09:57.160 And I think, I don't know, maybe these days actors, they accept that they're older and
00:10:03.260 they're not getting the roles they used to and things.
00:10:05.800 because they don't seem to be blowing themselves away
00:10:08.680 as much as they used to.
00:10:09.840 As often as they should.
00:10:11.380 As they absolutely should.
00:10:12.940 There's quite a list.
00:10:13.900 I would love to...
00:10:14.580 They're just spick.
