Several big things we got to get to.

And the first kind of thing is the, when you're 95, you can't say it's the unexpected passing of anyone.

However, the circumstances by which he passed are a bit perplexing to people, Gene Hackman.

Yeah, you're talking about how, if you woke up this morning, you probably saw the news that the Oscar

winning actor, Gene Hackman died, but also his wife, and it was reported the dog as well. And they were found in their

home in New Mexico. And it's been reported that no foul play was suspected. So right away, my mind goes

to carbon monoxide poisoning or something along those lines. You know, what was it? Weird Al Yankovic's

parents had something similar to this several

years ago. And that's like because they have, first of all, he's 95 years old. So I don't mean to be

crass. But when you're 95, you know, you know, right, there's more, there's more yesterdays than

there are tomorrow. So just a reality for all of us. It'll be the same for me, you, Kevin, whoever.

But his wife was a relatively young person.

She was, what, 63?

Yes, it was his second wife.

And the dog, too.

Yeah.

And the dog was not 95.

Correct.
