Speaker 3: Actor Gene Hackman, ninety five years old, was found dead
Speaker 3: in his New Mexico home with his wife, Betsy Arakawa.
Speaker 3: She is in her sixties. She was a pianist. Apparently,
Speaker 3: Jeane was found in something called a mudroom. This is
Speaker 3: in Santa Fe.
Speaker 2: Now, a mudroom. I didn't fully know what that was.
Speaker 4: We used to have a mudroom. My mom always had
Speaker 4: names for rooms and pieces of furniture and like whatever.
Speaker 4: It's like, I think it means like for us, our
Speaker 4: mudroom was in between like the garage and the rest
Speaker 4: of the house.
Speaker 2: He has to take your shoes off. Yeah, we have
Speaker 2: a mudroom.
Speaker 1: It's basically it's like you'd like been described the Usually
Speaker 1: there's it's basically a transitionary where you hang coats and
Speaker 1: you put.
Speaker 2: Your dirty shoes A good idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Usually they'll come off like a garage into a
Speaker 1: laundry room or something and most of.
Speaker 4: The time, it's for areas where there's a tremendous build
Speaker 4: up of mud.
Speaker 3: I gotta say, man, the Gene Hackman death might be
Speaker 3: the best thing that's happened to mudroom sales in years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to skyrocket. Betsy Arakawa his wife.
Speaker 4: Why are you saying it like that?
Speaker 3: Huh Betsy Aha? She was found dead on the floor
Speaker 3: of a bathroom.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 3: A dead German shepherd was found between ten and fifteen
Speaker 3: feet away from her in the closet of the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Christina had no reaction to Betsy our Okawa being found dead,
Speaker 4: but the German shepherd elicited a reaction.
Speaker 5: Look, it's just like movies when people die. I'm like, okay, man,
Speaker 5: that kind of sucks, But when it does, no, I'm out.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned this before. It was the made for TV
Speaker 1: movie about the Hindenburg. It was probably a seventh grader
Speaker 1: and at the end of the movie they showed the
Speaker 1: faces of.
Speaker 2: Everyone that died.
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting there watching it, and then they showed
Speaker 1: the dog that died on the Hindenburg and.
Speaker 2: I just lost It.
Speaker 4: Is because we think that humans probably have done something
Speaker 4: bad at some point, so it doesn't bother us as much.
Speaker 4: But the dogs are always hundred percent innocent. I think
Speaker 4: that probably has something to do. Yeah, is that why
Speaker 4: you didn't have any sympathy for any of the other deaths.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's very sad, but yes, all dogs
Speaker 5: do is love you. That's all they do.
Speaker 3: You think about I'll say not true to the stray
Speaker 3: dog that ran up to me yesterday when I went
Speaker 3: on a walk.
Speaker 4: He was also attacked by a dog. Christina, what do
Speaker 4: you have to say to defend that dog? That dog
Speaker 4: attack Kevin Turnerman shepherd too.
Speaker 5: He might have smelt something on you or something.
Speaker 4: Did you have a did you have a bunch of
Speaker 4: ham in your pocket?
Speaker 3: I think I was hearing some mutton. The thing two
Speaker 3: years of dogs. You never go, oh, who's a bad boy.
Speaker 2: They're a good boy, assume.
Speaker 5: But the owners could ruin the dog. And that's why
Speaker 5: people are horrible.
Speaker 2: So this is how we're gonna remember Gene hack Jan's in.
Speaker 3: The mudroom dead, Betsy's in the bathroom dead, German shepherd
Speaker 3: ten feet away in the closet of the bathroom dead.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: All right then, and then it gets reported by the
Speaker 3: way that no foul play suspected. So what happened was
Speaker 3: a maintenance worker was scheduled to come to the house
Speaker 3: yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2: He walked in, I guess the mudroom.
Speaker 3: First sees Jane goes in and he calls authority, So
Speaker 3: that's that's who's found them. The Then then later in
Speaker 3: the day, so it's reported early this morning, no foul
Speaker 3: play suspected, and then by about noon I saw, well,
Speaker 3: suspicious play suspenion.
Speaker 2: This is they're ruling.
Speaker 3: Suspicious and they're launching an investigation. They did find an
Speaker 3: open prescription bottle and scattered pills near the body of
Speaker 3: Betsy on the counter in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: But scattered pills?
Speaker 3: Was that two pills? Is that nine pills? Is it fifteen?
Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't really say. The fire department did
Speaker 3: not find signs of a carbon monoxide leak, and there
Speaker 3: were no obvious signs of a gas leak in the home.
Speaker 2: I have a prediction, shoot shoot score.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman, who is ninety four five ninety five passed
Speaker 1: away in the mudroom from being ninety five. Betsy saw
Speaker 1: this and was so distraught she couldn't move, She couldn't
Speaker 1: live without Gene Hackman. She went to the bathroom and
Speaker 1: took her pills to ode and hit the ground, and
Speaker 1: then the dog ate some of the remaining pills, and
Speaker 1: so Betsy and the dog died of proscription pilled death.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's two other dogs that did not eat any
Speaker 4: of the pills.
Speaker 1: They were smart enough, not because they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: that dog over there didn't the pills didn't work out.
Speaker 2: We should go in here and hump something.
Speaker 3: I imagine they weren't living in a small adobe either,
Speaker 3: because they did say two other dogs found on the property.
Speaker 2: No, I go, okay, you know they were writing a tractor. Okay,
Speaker 2: I do worry about that.
Speaker 4: Anytime I drop anything on the ground, I assume my
Speaker 4: dogs are gonna eat it. So if she dropped pills
Speaker 4: on the ground.
Speaker 1: There's like, I can't remember what it is now. We
Speaker 1: had to do it with Rocksy or Luca not too
Speaker 1: long ago. So one time your dog, yeah, Lucas, my
Speaker 1: dog Luca ate a bunch of asprin or something.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what it was, and we're.
Speaker 1: Like, ah, G did it. No, we had to take
Speaker 1: her to the vet and they do this thing and
Speaker 1: it costs fourigner bucks or whatever. It's way too expensive.
Speaker 1: Then she did it again, like two weeks ago. She
Speaker 1: was eating this like bone thing you know that you're
Speaker 1: supposed to chew up and it's good for your teeth.
Speaker 1: And she was panning really hard, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that thing's lodged insiderr yeah, And so I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the vet for you
Speaker 1: know whatever.
Speaker 2: It was late at night. I want to go to
Speaker 2: the vet and pay him the money.
Speaker 1: So we gave her some little oxide something or other
Speaker 1: to make her throw up, and she threw up this
Speaker 1: thing that had been lodged inside her.
Speaker 2: What was it? It was that bone.
Speaker 1: The bone got stuck in her in her passageway, and
Speaker 1: that thing made her throw up and it cost us nothing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you can, if you that's a dog trick.
Speaker 1: If your dog, if you think your dog took a
Speaker 1: bunch of asprin or ate a bunch of chocolate, just
Speaker 1: give them the stuff and they'll throw up and you'll
Speaker 1: be good to go.
Speaker 3: So I have a few more details, but I would
Speaker 3: first I do like detective waves.
Speaker 2: Premise here, thank you, hypothesis both.
Speaker 3: In fact, I would like to award him a fake
Speaker 3: mustache in a magnifying glass.
Speaker 2: Temporarily.
Speaker 4: You know, you'll take it back if he's wrong.
Speaker 3: If he's wrong, you'll be removed. But for now, enjoy it.
Speaker 3: Use him on the broadcast tonight. Why would you want
Speaker 3: to give me a badge a new watch hat?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: So once the Sheriff's got there, they found Betsy. Betsy
Speaker 3: lying on her side on the bathroom floor with a
Speaker 3: space heater near her head, which might go to your theory.
Speaker 3: Maybe she was trying to keep her head warm while
Speaker 3: she was dying out.
Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense. The deputy, give me a coffee.
Speaker 3: The deputy did say that he suspected that the heater
Speaker 3: could have fallen with her, like she could have fell,
Speaker 3: which the pills fall hurt her body, showed signs of decomposition.
Speaker 4: Oh already could have in there for okay, in there
Speaker 4: for a while.
Speaker 2: So in this case I'm changing my theory.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman went in there and found Betsy had taken
Speaker 1: pills and the dog had taken pills, and he was
Speaker 1: rushing to go get help.
Speaker 2: And because he's ninety five, he died in the mudroom
Speaker 2: as he was running to get help. Are you changing it.
Speaker 3: If you're changing it, I'm gonna have to take away
Speaker 3: the fake mustache, the hack By that one.
Speaker 2: I just like the original.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stay with the detectives have a gut feeling
Speaker 3: they don't really know what happened, but they do.
Speaker 4: She she was so much younger, She had plenty of
Speaker 4: life to go, not a ton, but.
Speaker 2: She was nothing before she met Geene.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was as she was about to have the
Speaker 4: whole Gene Hackman empire, older herself, apparently.
Speaker 5: Famous penist thought want to live without him?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think also, uh, he lost a lot
Speaker 1: of money in real time sports action.
Speaker 4: I don't think he did.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's true and not a good thing
Speaker 3: to spread about him on this day. Yeah, she was
Speaker 3: a businesswoman, former pianist in decades long companion. Much more
Speaker 3: on her than that.
Speaker 4: It's a tragedy man, Yeah, incredibly said.
Speaker 2: That's a tough deal. No, it really is.
Speaker 1: You want someone that you've admired their work forever. You
Speaker 1: want them to die peacefully. You don't want them to
Speaker 1: have a death. And now there's a bunch of controversy
Speaker 1: and weird stuff going on around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, although to.
Speaker 4: Live to be ninety five. Hell of a run. Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: made it, you know, and he aged really quickly, at
Speaker 4: least in my brain, because he just stopped making movies
Speaker 4: at some point like four. Okay, so he's quit making
Speaker 4: movies in two thousand and four, even though he was
Speaker 4: arguably one of the greatest actors of all time. He
Speaker 4: just stopped when he still had you know, I guess,
Speaker 4: so how old would he have been this seventy five seven?
Speaker 4: So she's aboubout at the retirement age unless he was
Speaker 4: going to run for president sixty so, but he still
Speaker 4: could have kept making movies. He was choosing not to
Speaker 4: be in movies, right, Yeah, I don't know, And.
Speaker 3: I it seemed like he was still around because he's
Speaker 3: on TV all the time because of all these movies
Speaker 3: are on.
Speaker 1: But the other thing, But the other thing about Gene
Speaker 1: Hackman is go watch Bonnie and Clyde in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 1: He looked to be about thirty years older than he
Speaker 1: was and then stayed that age forever.
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, pictures showed up of him, I
Speaker 4: don't know, about six months ago, and I was like, damn, yeah,
Speaker 4: Like he suddenly looked like he had aged like forty
Speaker 4: years overnight.
Speaker 3: Honestly, him and Hoosiers compared to him and the Replacements,
Speaker 3: as the coach looks about the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, dude, look at him in the French Connection.
Speaker 1: It's like fifteen years. Hoosiers is fifteen years later, and
Speaker 1: he kind of looks the same.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Hoosiers in the Replacements are they kind of
Speaker 4: near each other.
Speaker 2: Hoosiers would have been eighty seven.
Speaker 3: Replacements was two thousand, Okay, I would have thought Hoosiers
Speaker 3: was in the seventies, so Hoosiers.
Speaker 2: Was late eighties.
Speaker 1: And the coming up later, we'll talk about the films
Speaker 1: of Barbara Hershey, who of course was in Hoosiers. Well,
Speaker 1: didn't really care for that asking, Oh not a huge fan? Interesting?
Speaker 1: Did you like her in Last Temptation of Christ?
Speaker 4: I don't know. Yep. All right, coming up next and
Speaker 4: around the sports, where are we gonna go kt media fight?
Speaker 3: Oh we've got a media fight. Oh we got some
Speaker 3: Cowboys news and more.
Speaker 4: Yep, that's coming up next.
Speaker 2: Yeah,
