03:19coming she said we became dear friends through the years since then uh always always getting
03:25together every chance that we could and just picking up right where we left off we just had
03:29the best time we got so close and towards the end it was it was not uncommon for me to use my fist
03:35oh my wow listen it's if you want to express pure physical love that's the real way to do it and not
03:42not to punch her in the face no no no no no okay love love not in the face below the belt
03:49i picked up a few tricks when i was in the army oh my god
03:54okay things got crazy okay i don't like the way
04:01it's sad yeah yeah it's a time for joy i'm up here in heaven and joy is my wife by the way
04:08that's true is she still alive she's still alive okay all right uh after they left she said i thought
04:14of my i thought to myself lord is that the last time that i'm gonna see my friend because he was
04:18failing i could tell hey you know who's up here preston no robert kardashian remember kardashian
04:23was on the oj simpson dream team yeah now he's the father of chloe kardashian and he allowed me
04:29one of the biggest thrills of my life he allowed me to watch a chloe kardashian feeding one time
04:35it was an elaborate setup they would take a buffalo hoisted up on a gurney and lowered into her paddock
04:42and then the the buffalo would disappear because they had vegetation in there so she could have the
04:48thrill of the hunt and then you'd see all the bushes start shaking and before you knew it blood
04:53would start spraying out it was an amazing thing and of course she's a sweetheart she's gone into a
04:57lovely young woman wow that was nice of him to share a personal uh uh family a moment like that
05:04with you it was wonderful hey you know who else is up here michael jackson wow yeah and michael jackson
05:10of course he did that wonderful song smooth criminal and uh you know that part annie are you
05:15okay okay i finally asked michael is she okay all right because you keep asking yeah they never do
05:23answer that turns out he's a kid touching okay moving on uh because he was failing she said i could
05:29tell uh it was also revealed monday that uh regis will be buried at his alma mater uh alma mater
05:34did you know cluck gable had false teeth uh no he did well you learn a lot of things when you're
05:41past the early regis was so good and so um you know smooth oh my god he had he he had a couple a
05:50nighttime talk show that that was just placed in a in a bad position uh and he was joey bishop's
05:56sidekick on a talk show for a while but you could tell the weird thing he was so much better than joey
06:01bishop as the sidekick they would they would have them talk a lot and it became clear that he was
06:07much better oh no and and then you know the show eventually you know went away but he he's you know
06:12he was great and that's why as i i posted online conan letterman all the guys and even the people
06:19with you know they would consider newer comedians and sharp you know and younger hipper comedians
06:23they loved him because he always went for the joke so i guess um maybe it was marissa who
06:28let us all know via text message that this had happened and lovely little marissa she's such a
06:34such a little firepower but she i i think she indicated and showed us she has pringle parties
06:40case i did i use empty pringle cans and they drink wine out of it it's so hip you want to die
06:46she had noticed that uh on on i guess instagram social media that was you would notice that
06:52that kelly ripa and and ryan seacrest put out was very cold and bizarre and it was why do you
06:58automatically give credit to marissa when it's something kathy did because marissa usually is
07:03no i'm just kidding uh well it so it was the same exact thing it was the same exact caption
07:09um yeah they cut they it was clearly written for them which was fine photoshop i just thought
07:15not fine i just thought it was bizarre that the picture they used was with mickey mouse like
07:19what why you've worked with them for years you don't have anything else it might have been the
07:24only picture that all three of them were together maybe there were rumors you remember for a while
07:28i would have skipped that that kathy lee and regis had a little bit of a an altercation for a while
07:34and that kelly and regis had a little bit of an altercation well supposedly at the when he was
07:37leaving yes there was something there which is immediately what i thought of but still i just
07:42thought it was their their react or whatever they posted was very cold it does look like a regular
07:47standard publicity shot as opposed to a uh you know a warm in the moment shot by the way here's
07:53a regis moment uh we talked to reach many times he's great and uh this was him on the show talking
07:58about the camp out for hunger there's a big food push going on down in philadelphia yes we talk to
08:03these guys every year uh and all of a sudden i see i don't have my notes really right now but is
08:08it preston sorry president c very good thank you it's full participation yes if there's anything
08:17else we can't figure out feel free to yell yell it out i just talked to them on the phone i guess
