Speaker 2: producing your moves, Hot Goss if lived, come stay on
Speaker 2: top in the high woot shovel iceman out. Val Kilmer
Speaker 2: dead at the age of sixty five. Cause of death pneumonia.
Speaker 2: Now he had throat cancer diagnosed with that back in
Speaker 2: late twenty fourteen, kind of overcame it. It definitely affected
Speaker 2: his speech quite a bit, and his uh, his daughter
Speaker 2: has confirmed that it was pneumonia that took him out.
Speaker 1: I saw I was reading a New York Times article
Speaker 1: about him last night and I saw a picture of
Speaker 1: him from twenty fourteen, and I had not seen him
Speaker 1: in a really long time. I was trying to remember.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he in Entourage for a couple episodes? Kind of
Speaker 1: had gotten big or something. The picture I saw of
Speaker 1: him in the New York Times from twenty fourteen, I
Speaker 1: thought he looked really good. And I knew that he
Speaker 1: had been I mean, that's a decade ago, and I
Speaker 1: knew that he had been deteriorating and had not really
Speaker 1: been out there much. But I never saw top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 1: Wasn't he in that. Yeah, he was in top gun Maverick,
Speaker 1: but he couldn't speak, so his son did I think
Speaker 1: they he faced you know, he lip synced his son
Speaker 1: at his voice. He did, he veeled it was. Was
Speaker 1: he in it for very long?
Speaker 2: Ben? No?
Speaker 1: I mean he had a He's an important part of
Speaker 1: it because he's the one who was kind of like
Speaker 1: Maverick's guardian angel, helping him stay and employed and get gigs.
Speaker 1: And he had elevated to be the big, big boss
Speaker 1: and so but he I mean there was times where
Speaker 1: Maverick would like talk to him. They would text each other, okay,
Speaker 1: and so he didn't have to talk, right, which is
Speaker 1: pretty cool because so many people really do text. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And I mean it's a part of that story.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: One of the things I was thinking about too with
Speaker 1: Val Kilmer, probably his heyday is the nineties.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he was a batman.
Speaker 1: He was a batman, he was in heat, he was
Speaker 1: doc hology, so all that stuff I believe was in
Speaker 1: the nineties. And one of the things that I realized
Speaker 1: about my perception of Val Kilmer is that when he
Speaker 1: was in his heyday, I was not checking out a
Speaker 1: lot of Studio movies in the nineties, and so I
Speaker 1: don't know that I had held him in the regard
Speaker 1: that I probably should have, Like I really dug heat.
Speaker 1: I thought that was cool and he had a good
Speaker 1: role in that, but you know, that was really all
Speaker 1: about de Niro and Pacino in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: And I know that he's a big deal. But like
Speaker 1: the movies of the eighties, and I liked that he
Speaker 1: was in or kind of you know, it's top gut
Speaker 1: and it's real genius.
Speaker 2: Like the five eighties movies.
Speaker 1: He was in Top Secret. Top Z was his debut
Speaker 1: and I loved that movie as a kid. Awesome in
Speaker 1: the top Gun, Real genius. Two more, Uh oh, what
Speaker 1: year did The Doors come out?
Speaker 2: That was ninety one?
Speaker 1: Okay, which, by the way, he's a great Jim Morrison,
Speaker 1: But man, does that movie suck.
Speaker 2: The Doors is not a good movie. I think I've
Speaker 2: just like seen clips of it. I don't think I've
Speaker 2: seen He's.
Speaker 1: A great Jim Morrison, but the movie is it's basically
Speaker 1: always saying it all it's Oliver Stone's fantasy.
Speaker 2: It's not good. He put out a record No. Seven,
Speaker 2: did he Kilmer did?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Top Secret in real genius. Yeah, in Top Gun?
Speaker 1: What are we missing? In Top Gun?
Speaker 2: Was he in? Uh? One word? Nineteen eighty eight one word?
Speaker 2: You could describe it as like a tree or one
Speaker 2: of will Smith's kids.
Speaker 1: Willa Willo. I don't think I saw Willow. And is
Speaker 1: that a sci fi thing? Like a fantasy sci fi thing?
Speaker 2: Oh? Do you remember will O? Ben No? I thought
Speaker 2: that that was like a Jim Henson sci fi fantasy thing.
Speaker 2: Nineteen eighty nine. Yeah, willoppears to be an American high
Speaker 2: fantasy adventure adventure film advancure film. They had muppets and
Speaker 2: crap in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 3: Three three words uh huhn nopeh stab stab your not
Speaker 3: stab stroke your uh uh choke no not choke strangle
Speaker 3: no Lexus Texas.
Speaker 1: Psycho kill kill kill kill your kill we kill you
Speaker 1: me me and then softly, no, kill me softly and
Speaker 1: over repeatedly kill me forever killing me softly with his
Speaker 1: words kill bill, kill kill the clasp killin ma get
Speaker 1: clapped to this.
Speaker 2: That is that the movie I've never heard of? That
Speaker 2: you heard of? That? Kill me again? A good movie?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, Real Genius and Top Secret were like in
Speaker 1: you know, for us those years where you're developing your
Speaker 1: sense of humor, and that was right in that immature
Speaker 1: wheelhouse that they were awesome. Obviously, he was great as
Speaker 1: iceman in Top Gun, and you mentioned Tombstone. He was
Speaker 1: great in that, amazing in Heat. There's two other movies
Speaker 1: he was in that aren't as acclaimed, but he was
Speaker 1: really good in them. One of them I really love,
Speaker 1: and that's Thunderheart. Did you guys ever see Underheart? I
Speaker 1: don't think I saw that. Thunderheart, Oh, I know what
Speaker 1: that is. Thunderheart is he is a He is like
Speaker 1: a detective and they're trying to solve a murder, but
Speaker 1: it's on Indian territory. Yeah, and then he is taken
Speaker 1: back to I think his roots and they realized that
Speaker 1: he actually has some Indian blood and so he's having
Speaker 1: this really cool experience while he's going through all that.
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good. And the other one
Speaker 1: was The Saint, which I've seen a million times on cable.
Speaker 2: That's where he dances under the lasers.
Speaker 1: I think Elizabeth's shoe is in that, yes, and she
Speaker 1: is a he can take on all these different roles
Speaker 1: and she's like a scientist to his figure out some
Speaker 1: incredible thing to save the world or something. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's both.
Speaker 2: Those are pretty good. All of them are pretty good. Okay,
Speaker 2: so that obviously Tombstone's what's his biggest role ever? Like
Speaker 2: you should the one say it? Top Gun?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think so. It's the biggest movie he
Speaker 1: was ever in, But it wasn't the biggest role. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I means is the biggest role he ever had? I
Speaker 1: think I think I think probably too. There was so
Speaker 1: much height about heat. I mean, that was a very
Speaker 1: it was a Michael Man movie. It was the first
Speaker 1: time de Niro and Pacino had been like they were
Speaker 1: both in Godfather too, but they were never in a
Speaker 1: scene together, right, So there was just so much hype.
Speaker 2: But I think probably.
Speaker 1: And it's not for me because I never saw it,
Speaker 1: But I think, isn't he most known for Tombstone?
Speaker 2: Maybe I would say Batman?
Speaker 1: For people our age.
Speaker 2: Age, It was definitely That's the first thing I thought of,
Speaker 2: was Batman.
Speaker 1: Jim carry back, Ai says Val Kilmer is best known
Speaker 1: for his roles in iconic films like Top Gun, Tombstone,
Speaker 1: and The Door. Okay, I actually just kind of a
Speaker 1: hammer home. My point about when his heyday.
Speaker 2: Was, I've never seen that Batman movie. No, you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't like it. It's got John Carry Jones and
Speaker 2: Jim Carrey was the Riddler. Yeah, now, Tommy A. Jones.
Speaker 2: They even got the paint wrong. They made it two face.
Speaker 2: He's purple on half side. No I care, it's always blue.
Speaker 1: I can't remember if we talked about this off air
Speaker 1: on air, but I saw a clip last week or
Speaker 1: two weeks ago of Jim Carrey talking about seeing Tommy
Speaker 1: Lee Jones right before they acted together in that Batman movie.
Speaker 1: He saw him out at a restaurant and he went
Speaker 1: up to him to start a conversation, and Tommy Lee
Speaker 1: Jones told him that he hated him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people did not like Val Kilmer. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey. He's like, I don't like I
Speaker 2: don't like your kind. You're not funny. I do not
Speaker 2: want to be near you. Wow.
Speaker 1: And he knew he was about to be in a movie.
Speaker 2: Yes, dude, tell me sucks. We can all agree with that, right.
Speaker 1: As what as a human, I don't know anything about
Speaker 1: him as a human.
Speaker 2: I think he's a great actor though he didn't even
Speaker 2: care that Harrison Ford didn't kill his wife.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that's fair that you're okay, you know what,
Speaker 1: that's the first good point you made six months. I
Speaker 1: gotta think of him as like a really good James Garner.
Speaker 1: He was great in No Country for Old Men, which
Speaker 1: was a great film. Javier Bardam is a beast. He's
Speaker 1: incredible in that, and I think he's incredible in The Fugitive.
Speaker 2: Pretty Costner turns into Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaker 1: What do you mean it's already already had the court. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just he didn't have a lot
Speaker 1: of room left. He's how old is he?
Speaker 2: They're very hat filled McCoy, Oh, that's the show they did. Uh,
Speaker 2: going and read a couple of things. I'm not tearing
Speaker 2: a guy down, but this is Kilmer. This is I
Speaker 2: would say this is a compliment the his co star
Speaker 2: in Tombstone, Michael Bain. You know Michael Bain. I'm Michael
Speaker 2: Bain's Michael gane or Bane from Batman.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: People ask me what it's like to work with Val Kilmer.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I never met him, never shook his hand.
Speaker 2: I know Doc Holliday, but I don't know Val Kilmer
Speaker 2: cool method. Okay. Richard Stanley, who directed Kilmer for three
Speaker 2: days in the Island of Doctor Moreau, oh, said vow
Speaker 2: would arrive in an argument. What happened. I don't like
Speaker 2: Val Kilmer, I don't like his work ethic, and I
Speaker 2: don't want to be associated with him ever again. Damn
Speaker 2: Batman Forever. Director Joel Schumacher called Kilmer childish and impossible. Okay.
Speaker 1: Now keep in mind when he worked with Schumacher and
Speaker 1: by the way, Schumacher's no trip through the none of
Speaker 1: these people are but Kilmer was also younger.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah, okay. Mira Sorvino did say this
Speaker 2: in the movie First Sight Boy. You so I like
Speaker 2: the way she did her thing. She was asked about
Speaker 2: his reputation as being difficult to work with, and she said,
Speaker 2: you know what, he was real easy to work with.
Speaker 2: I hate furthering rumors about people being difficult because it
Speaker 2: can do such damage through their careers, to which iall went,
Speaker 2: who said something mad about her? My experience with him
Speaker 2: was nothing but positive.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 2: It's a split. There was a so.
Speaker 1: One of the guys who used to be considered difficult
Speaker 1: to work with, and his peer of his age wise
Speaker 1: is Robert and they were in a movie together and
Speaker 1: I saw Robert Downey Junior say when I first I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 1: but when I first met him, I hated him. I
Speaker 1: couldn't stand him. And after the end of the process
Speaker 1: we became really good friends and stayed in touch. Man,
Speaker 1: I just think sixty five. Sixty five, that is young man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's way too young to go.
Speaker 2: Pneumonia too, So have you got pneumonia or something? Go
Speaker 2: get it checked out. Don't risk that, especially if you're older.
Speaker 2: So rip, We'll tip our hats to the great Val Kilmer.
Speaker 2: I'd like to hear some very disgusting audio that has
Speaker 2: future drops in it. Yes, Maury Povich is eighty six.
Speaker 2: Nice and he started a podcast with Connie Chung, who's
Speaker 2: seventy eight. Are they still married? They are still married, okay,
Speaker 2: all right? And they have sex on Sundays. Dope, I
Speaker 2: feel sexiest when you or me you.

Speaker 1: It's Connie Chung and who Mario Mary Povich her husband.
Speaker 1: They've been married for a long time.
Speaker 2: So she's at the end when you hear making noises,
Speaker 2: she's putting the key up to her lip like I'm
Speaker 2: not saying anymore. I'm not telling everyone. I'm not elaborating
Speaker 2: on you rolling around on me on Sundays.
Speaker 1: Oh I would thought she was saying she wasn't incorporating
Speaker 1: that action.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't think so. Well, maybe that's interesting.

Speaker 1: I just I need to know if it's an iHeart
Speaker 1: podcast before everything's on iHeart.
Speaker 2: Okay, our competitors you can find on the iHeart Act.
Speaker 2: We haven't.
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like everyone will love that
Speaker 1: podcast product.
Speaker 2: So I want you to now work with me here because
Speaker 2: there's a couple of drops here. She is again not
Speaker 2: wanting to respond that his golf golfing buddies wanted to
Speaker 2: come out on Sunday. Uh huh Sundays are for Connie.
Speaker 2: All Right, she's gonna strap you know, so like she's
Speaker 2: does not want to comment, but listen to the grunt
Speaker 2: at the end by him.
Speaker 4: Everybody says, can we play golf on Sunday? No Sundays
Speaker 4: with Connie?
Speaker 2: I'm not all right, you say a lot. I'm not like,
Speaker 2: I'm not talking.
Speaker 1: I would love to see the statistics on people over
Speaker 1: the age of seventy five that listen to podcasts.
Speaker 2: I would love to see that too. And also I
Speaker 2: just think he watches a lot of NFL Red Zone
Speaker 2: laying down with his head off the end of the back. Okay,
Speaker 2: she's not watching it. She's facing the head Ford. Do
Speaker 2: you think he's okay? Saying reverse cal County? Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you doing the Gemstones man? John Goodman too respected
Speaker 2: to be doing.

Speaker 1: around the sports. The Rangers win back to back one
