He gave me so much. Hear more stories like he Shauna's@uhc.com hey there, folks. It is Monday, December 15th, and the story that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood has in some ways become even more shocking. Because now word is that Rob Reiner's own son has been booked for murder. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. Shocking enough, Rob Reiner, legend in Hollywood and his wife found dead, got word that it was an apparent homicide. And now word that it's their son that is facing charges.
- [03:41]
Ramy Robach
It's tragedy upon tragedy. I cannot even imagine those who loved him and knew him, but certainly his other children. He and his wife Michelle had three children together. Nick was among them. Nick is 32 year old son who has been arrested now for murder. But they have a daughter, they have another son and Rob has an adopted daughter as well. So just the grief that those people alone are experiencing right now is compounded with the fact that their own brother is now charged with murdering their parents. And this was a brother who has a history of trouble. He had drug addiction issues, he had issues with his family and they were well known. But it seemed as though he had been sober since 2015. Things were getting better and the family was doing better and they were open about it.
- [04:34]
TJ Holmes
We don't know what in God's name could have led to anything like this. But multiple news outlets are quoting their law enforcement sources out there in Los Angeles saying it does appear, yes, in fact that there had stab wounds. And even TMZ is reporting much bigger headline about their just graphic as it is. Again, we report on TMZ because quite frankly they, they get it right most of the time. But reporting that it was a pretty vicious death possibly for these two. So that suggests some type of look of stabbing, a knife being used, whatever can be speculated about the family and the dynamics and what could have caused this. Or is he, I mean he's innocent till proven guilty as well.
- [05:21]
Ramy Robach
Correct.
- [05:22]
TJ Holmes
But this is where we are. Rose's story I guess is kind of fast moving because it was just shocking the story itself. But we finally got more details officially from police about how this transpired yesterday.
- [05:36]
Ramy Robach
Yes, so what we understand is it was around 3, 3 o' clock yesterday. 3 o', clock, 3:30 yesterday, LA time where a family member found the bodies of Rob and Michelle. And they called police and police got to the scene very quickly and determined they were dead. But they said by the time, I think about five hours later, at 9:15pm so they first arrived at the house probably just before 4pm about five hours later they actually took Nick into custody. And at 5:04am, that's 8:00am Eastern Time, he was booked for murder. So they wrapped this up very quickly. But apparently according to some news sources, the family member immediately pointed police in the direction of Nick.
- [06:24]
TJ Holmes
And this is why we're trying to piece together police out there in Los Angeles. We know from a long history, come under a lot of scrutiny, especially with high profile cases. So maybe they were trying to be very, very, very careful in handling this case. But last night when we first got word about this, there was very little information, nothing. And even to the point of mockery that they had a press conference but couldn't answer anything. But one of the big questions robes was wait a minute, you're telling us that you're not looking for a suspect but you're telling us you have a homicide. But the general public doesn't need to worry. Those things didn't add up. And a couple of reporters followed up and followed up and never got an answer. And this may be why we got the answers we got.
- [07:10]
Ramy Robach
And look, given the timing of it, it doesn't seem as though they were being very forthcoming because if he was taken into custody at 9:15pm Those reporters were asking questions throughout the evening and they said they didn't have any suspects but clearly they did have someone in mind. And now they are acknowledging that in fact it was the son of Michelle and Rob Reiner. But this was, and it's just shocking because this was such a, an open. And there's a movie actually I have not. Have you watched Being Charlie? So this was a, a movie that they actually did together in collaboration with their son Nick about his struggles, about their struggles as a family. It was depicted fictionally but it was based on their own actual experiences. And they say now it's haunting if we they some folks who've been quoting some of the lines from the movie. It's, it's very haunting to see what we believe transpired now so sadly over the weekend at the Reiners home and what was depicted in that movie and.
- [08:11]
TJ Holmes
And folks as we are and a lot of people are trying to pick up pieces and, and, and I, I guess you know, Robert, there is no one who is within the sound of our voices that is has not been impacted by Rob, Ron or film in one way, form or fashion, even if you haven't seen one. So many of what's in those movies are part of pop culture that they are in your life in some way, form or fashion. But as Hollywood is shocked and in mourning, who has stepped right in the middle of this is President Donald J. Trump. Now we're going to share it with you in a moment and let you take it in for yourself the words that he used to I guess to say rest in peace but made an absolute mockery of the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife. We will get into that in a second. But yes, he has stepped in it. But before we go there roped it really it is one of without a question. It may be top three movie of all time is Princess Bride for me. I've never met had seen Harry Met Sally.
- [09:20]
Ramy Robach
Oh so good yet in fact I've always wanted you to watch it with me. So maybe now we'll take a moment to do it. It's been brilliant. It, it actually has been credited with bringing rom coms to the fever pitch that they got to in the 90s. Because of that it was kind of a dying genre and when that one came out all of a sudden people thought wow, you can do them smartly. You can have some fun with the genre and make it interesting and comedic and, and wonderful. And there was a beautiful story that came out of that about his own love story with his wife. I didn't know this.
- [09:52]
TJ Holmes
I mean I didn't know that. I didn't know how the movie ended anyway. But I didn't know that he changed the ending of the movie because he as they say, as the story goes, the poetic ways he believed in love. Again, the two weren't going to end up together at the end of that movie but he changed the ending after he met fell in love with his, his wife on the set.
- [10:12]
Ramy Robach
Michelle. Yes.
- [10:13]
TJ Holmes
Who remained as well. How many years?
- [10:16]
Ramy Robach
They got married in 1989, I believe so me and math don't do well together. But well established, decades long happy marriage and this was a second marriage for him. But yeah, they fell in love and so I didn't know that he rewrote the ending of When Harry Met Sally to have a happy ending because of his wife Michelle. That's a beautiful thing. But yes, the movies are endless. I mean obviously the Princess Bride is, is personal for us but American President.
- [10:44]
TJ Holmes
That is Stand By Me. Delightful. Feel good.
- [10:47]
Ramy Robach
You love that movie.
- [10:47]
TJ Holmes
That is such a good movie.
- [10:50]
Ramy Robach
It's one of your favorites. A Few Good Men. But yeah. And we were talking about how he could go from rom coms to action packed movies to thrillers.
- [10:59]
TJ Holmes
Thrillers.
- [10:59]
Ramy Robach
Misery.
- [11:00]
TJ Holmes
I didn't realize Misery was his.
- [11:01]
Ramy Robach
There was a connection with Stephen King because Stand By Me. Obviously Stephen King as well. But no, this man was brilliant. Some people are obviously weighing in and saying the most incredible things about the talent of Rob Reiner and his philanthropy and his Political leanings and just his passion for life and just being a part of things. But some I saw, someone wrote that saying he's a legend actually doesn't even do him justice. He's so much more than that. He changed movies. He changed how we felt about movies. He made an impact on so many of us that we didn't even realize he was behind.
- [11:34]
TJ Holmes
And he changed himself. He was an actor. I mean, he was a successful one at the time. What was his character's name?
- [11:41]
Ramy Robach
Meathead. He was the son in law of Archie Bunker.
- [11:43]
TJ Holmes
Yes. So he. He made a shift and a transition and then changed Hollywood. He changed Hollywood. He was. It was incredibly impactful. And look, a sudden death is. I mean, it's a shocking, sudden type of thing. But when you lose somebody like this to this type of violence, it sends different. A different type of chill. And you see, when someone who has been. I mean, wild. Success. We talk about. Yes. Movies, but we talk about his philanthropy and his political activism.
- [12:15]
Ramy Robach
Yes.
- [12:15]
TJ Holmes
Is something he's become just as known for. Yes. Maybe he wasn't on your side of the political leanings, but you have to give him credit for being as active as he was for him to afford to end like this. I. We've seen several stories in Hollywood, unfortunately, great, incredible public successes. And then something is going on behind the scenes and you go, my God, we all need to take good inventory of our lives and what's really important to us.
- [12:48]
Ramy Robach
Right. And I think it's another. You could point to the lifestyle perhaps of a celebrity that maybe led to having the level of family strife, drugs, et cetera. But you could look at any family in any economic strata anywhere in the country or world for that matter, and know that these problems don't skip over wealthy people. They don't skip over famous people. They don't skip over folks who've been successful. We're all human beings. And the Reiners were in the middle of it and they were having difficulties and this is the most horrific ending you could possibly imagine. But yeah, we. You don't know what goes on behind closed doors. You don't know what people are dealing with, despite what they may show to all of us on the outside. Things are happening to so many of us, and it. We should all be helping one another. And this is just the moments where you don't want to be pointing the finger. You want to be realizing that so many of us are all in pain in different ways.
- [13:45]
TJ Holmes
You just want to give everybody a break sometime. You never know. Even the person that looks like they have it all. You just never know. You got to give everybody a break. But somebody who was not giving the reiners, their friends, their family, their fans a break at all today was President Donald Trump. He has been known, of course, as you all know, as someone who can fly off and say all kinds of wild things on social media. We have never heard anything like this before. Stay here. So let me get this straight. Your company has data here, there and everywhere, but your AI can't use the data because it's here, there and everywhere? Seems like something's missing. Every business has unique data. IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives to change how you do business. Let's create smarter business. IBM.

Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy. People never believe me when I say I'm just like them. I take out the trash, do dishes, and I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or osa. And a lot of adults with obesity also struggle with moderate to severe osa. You know, those scary breathing interruptions during sleep, the loud snore, snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue. I knew I had to talk to my doctor. Don't sleep on the symptoms.

This week on the podcast I'm sitting down with musician, producer and walking encyclopedia Questlove. We're talking about Mark Ronson's memoir, Night how to be a DJ in 90s New York City. All right, like we talked about before, Mark Ronson found sanctuary in the DJ booth. What's a tool or piece of equipment in the studio or on stage that gives you the most control? So I have two microphones on stage. We have the microphone that you hear as the audience, then we have a second microphone in which we communicate with each other. I feel like that second microphone kind of saved all of our friendships. No band likes each other after 20 years or 25 years. Like the Beatles broke up in seven and a half years and we're going on 35. Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, welcome back, folks. We continue on this day that we we got news overnight that Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and his wife had been killed, an apparent homicide. And a short time later, as of this recording here on Monday, their son Nick, 32 years old, has been booked for murder in the death of his mom, Michelle, and dad, Rob Reiner now ropes in the middle of all this. And I guess we've done episodes. We've actually done episodes, podcast episodes. Just reading President Trump social media posts, correct? That he does. On Truth Social. I think we, as a country, we aren't shocked by a lot of what he says. That's fair to say at this point.
- [18:37]
Ramy Robach
Yes. Because he says, he says things that no other president, sitting or otherwise, I believe has ever said. And so you start to get desensitized by his tone, sometimes even by his word choice that is cancelable for anyone else. And yet somehow he'll throw words around that are completely inappropriate and we all just look over it.
- [18:59]
TJ Holmes
The female reporters, he was just calling them piggy. Yes, right. And he, for some reason, that story kind of went away.
- [19:06]
Ramy Robach
And he used the R word.
- [19:07]
TJ Holmes
Oh, yes, yes.
- [19:08]
Ramy Robach
Not a problem to talk about the governor of Minnesota.
- [19:11]
TJ Holmes
And it kind of just went away. For whatever reason he is, we hold him to a different standard. That's our fault if we do that. But the bar is lower. There's a standard that's lower. That doesn't count. So he can say a lot of stuff and we keep rolling. This was different. He put out a true social Post. You have it in front of you?
- [19:31]
Ramy Robach
I do.
- [19:32]
TJ Holmes
Okay. He put out a true social post. I am not. We don't need to interpret. We just need you to hear what he said about the death of Rob Reiner.
- [19:42]
Ramy Robach
All right, this is what President Trump put on Truth social. A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump Derangement syndrome. And he put that in all caps, sometimes referred to as tds. So he goes on to say this. He was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump. With his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness. And with the golden age of America upon us, perhaps like never before, may Rob and Michelle rest in peace. What the actual f.
- [20:47]
TJ Holmes
This is one where I would ask somebody to check on him. That's. I don't. I don't need to interpret. I mean, that's. That's the President of the United States and sarcastically mocking and joking about someone being so obsessed with President Trump that you drove other people around you crazy to the point that your own son turned on you and murdered you. That's not funny. And what we just talking about Robes? What was everybody upset about? Don't you dare say anything close to mocking the death of Charlie Kirk.
- [21:30]
Ramy Robach
Don't you come close to even acting as if it was either justified or something to joke around about.
- [21:39]
TJ Holmes
You better be sad. They were even getting on the people for not being sad enough, not mourning hard enough.
- [21:45]
Ramy Robach
But now the President of the United States within hours of this news coming out. We haven't even had a. Not that it would ever be okay, but 24 hours haven't even passed and he is mocking, openly mocking a man who was, according to police, viciously stabbed to death by his own son.
- [22:14]
TJ Holmes
Okay, well, look, that's part of it. And the President has a way sometimes, Rose, no matter what's going on in pop culture, to put himself right in the middle of it. And he has done so this time in a way that I don't understand why it was necessary. This is one where it seems. It does. I. I'm telling you it. That does not seem that this came from a man who's. Okay, who was having a. That is. That is a break from reality and decency. That even for this guy, I think, I don't know what in God's name that's about.
- [22:45]
Ramy Robach
Well, and the White House, by the way, did not respond to all of the requests I've seen so far by reporters asking for, for some clarification and some, frankly, some hard questions that need to be asked of the President as to why he did this. And so far there has been no response. But you can't imagine that journalists are gonna let this go. He is going to have to answer to this. I don't.
- [23:07]
TJ Holmes
He doesn't ask the question. Right. He didn't have to say anything. He voluntarily sat down and typed this out. I guess. Why?
- [23:18]
Ramy Robach
That's and that's the question why.
- [23:20]
TJ Holmes
