Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, I don't know how long we've been doing this.
- 0:01Speaker 1: It's been a very long time, been quite a while.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Our celebrity Deadpool game that we play every year, it's awful.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It's horrible. We're horrible. People are doing.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Yes, exactly what we do is we pick ten celebrities
- 0:15Speaker 1: that we predict will die in the coming year. Each
- 0:18Speaker 1: of us pick ten every January, and based on their age,
- 0:23Speaker 1: that's how many points you score. One hundred being the
- 0:26Speaker 1: base line. So if someone dies when they're ninety you
- 0:30Speaker 1: get ten points. Oh you say, okay, someone dies when
- 0:33Speaker 1: they're ninety nine, you get one point, right, So.
- 0:36Speaker 3: It doesn't do you any good to pick somebody who's
- 0:37Speaker 3: one hundred.
- 0:38Speaker 1: So the smart game is to pick a couple of
- 0:41Speaker 1: people who are very young, and you cross your fingers.
- 0:46Speaker 1: But I apparently won last.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Year with fifty four points.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Fifty four points. Bill was second thirty seven points, Gina
- 0:53Speaker 1: had twenty five points, and Katie, once again.
- 0:57Speaker 4: The second year in a row, zero zero points.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Well that means you're you're the most good hearted of
- 1:03Speaker 3: all of us.
- 1:03Speaker 4: Either that or I'm really just hanging on for hopefully
- 1:06Speaker 4: this year.
- 1:07Speaker 1: All right, carry one, so you go first, So This
- 1:10Speaker 1: is my list, okay, and I've updated it. I've taken
- 1:14Speaker 1: some out that I've changed my mind about because I've
- 1:16Speaker 1: seen pictures of them recently, Like, no, they got another
- 1:19Speaker 1: couple of years left in them.
- 1:21Speaker 2: They're fine, They're just fine? Is that what you're saying?
- 1:23Speaker 1: So here are my ten celebrities for twenty twenty five.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Doc Severnson the Tonight Show band. I didn't even know

- 2:50Speaker 3: All right. Now, my list is the same as last
- 2:53Speaker 3: year pretty much, although I had two people on my

- 3:47Speaker 1: country music legend.
- 3:48Speaker 3: I'd hate to see Dick Cavot go, but he's still
- 3:51Speaker 3: on my list. Bruce Dern, which is a good choice.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Julie Andrews. I don't know how she's still hanging on.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I think she's pretty pretty healthy.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Yep, Holland Taylor. Who

- 4:51Speaker 3: seven and not well.
- 4:53Speaker 1: All right, celebrity list for Gina for me, I've completely
- 4:58Speaker 1: changed my list this year.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going for newspeople.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Oh there is a theme here.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Yes, or or appear in the news often.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I see your last choice is a bad one, but anyway,
- 5:10Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Rupert Murdoch be like one point right, he's ninety three.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that's good.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Ted Turner was just in the hospital.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I had him on my list and then Frank told
- 5:22Speaker 1: me that you got him already.
- 5:23Speaker 5: So eighty six Tom broke off, good choice. Eighty four
- 5:28Speaker 5: Leshley Stall Now her face is only like sixty.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Five, and say, well, we know if she's dead.
- 5:34Speaker 5: No, but she's like eighty three, okay, Dan rather four.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see that.
- 5:42Speaker 2: George Soros, Hey, that's.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Our money man.
- 5:46Speaker 3: That's no, you can't do that.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Rudy Giuliani, Yes, I can see that. He's only eighty
- 5:54Speaker 5: but but not well.
- 5:55Speaker 1: The stress is gonna kill him.
- 5:57Speaker 3: I think the hair dye is poisoning him.
- 6:00Speaker 5: No, no, I'm hoping for some points here with Robert F.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior.
- 6:05Speaker 4: I feel you.
- 6:06Speaker 1: You're hoping he gets some raw milk that kills him something.
- 6:10Speaker 2: He has questionable behavior that could that could get him.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Okay.
- 6:15Speaker 5: Uh Lara Logan, who's quite young, who's only fifty.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Three, but she's cooky.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Yep.
- 6:24Speaker 2: And now here's my sad one. This is my one
- 6:26Speaker 2: I don't want see.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I think you're wrong on this one.
- 6:29Speaker 5: Uh Carrie, she's got the cancer. Who Christian, I love her.
- 6:37Speaker 5: I don't want her to go.
- 6:39Speaker 3: But on list Gina Christiana Amor will kick cancer's ass
- 6:44Speaker 3: and shove it down to throat.
- 6:46Speaker 1: She's pretty tough, all right. Katie's list let's.
- 6:50Speaker 6: Zero points last year, so I pretty much am going
- 6:52Speaker 6: to keep most. I kept my list so as always.
- 6:55Speaker 6: Takashi sixty nine number one.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Which if he goes, I went will just cancel them.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
- 7:02Speaker 3: You know, though, I think this is diminishing returns. If
- 7:04Speaker 3: he was if they were gonna get him, they would
- 7:06Speaker 3: have gotten.
- 7:07Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 7:07Speaker 6: He did get beat up in a bathroom last year,
- 7:09Speaker 6: and I'm gonna hold onto him.
- 7:11Speaker 1: He was just in the news.
- 7:12Speaker 3: He got beat up in by some people in but
- 7:15Speaker 3: I don't think it was the people who really wanted
- 7:17Speaker 3: to kill him. He was just being a jerk.
- 7:19Speaker 4: I mean, all right, I never know. I don't want this,
- 7:23Speaker 4: but it's there, Michael J. Fox.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I don't like a lot of your list.
- 7:26Speaker 6: I know a lot of people hate my list. I've
- 7:28Speaker 6: also have mel Brooks. He's the oldest on my list.
- 7:31Speaker 6: He's like ninety eight. Tim Curry is also on my list.
- 7:35Speaker 6: The one I do hope for, and you should like
- 7:38Speaker 6: this one.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Mitch McConnell. Okay, he's on there.
- 7:41Speaker 2: He's a good picture.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Let me say, let me say, I don't hope that
- 7:45Speaker 3: anyone dies.
- 7:49Speaker 4: Number seven, Dick Cheney, okay.
- 7:52Speaker 6: Number eight, Alan Alda, who was struggling last year, he
- 7:56Speaker 6: was okay, so I kept.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Him on there. Yo go ono.
- 8:01Speaker 6: That's what like a she's ninety two h and then
- 8:05Speaker 6: Andy Dick, he is going off the deep end and
- 8:09Speaker 6: has been for a while. So I kind of am
- 8:11Speaker 6: predicting that and that'll be a fair amount of points.
- 8:13Speaker 6: He's only fifty eight fifty nine this year, so that
- 8:16Speaker 6: I held on to everybody from last year trying to
- 8:19Speaker 6: gain at least one point this year.
- 8:21Speaker 1: There you go. Now someone points out that your Mitch
- 8:24Speaker 1: McConnell pick is bad because turtles live for hundreds of years.
- 8:28Speaker 4: I mean, so one hundred and fifty for crush, so.
- 8:31Speaker 1: And Gina says, you should have picked Sam Donaldson instead
- 8:34Speaker 1: of Christiana.
- 8:35Speaker 3: I'm a poor Oh oh thought I thought Sam was gone.
- 8:38Speaker 2: I think I did too, that's why.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Oh well, take a look and see. All right, Well
- 8:43Speaker 1: there it is our celebrity death pool for the year
- 8:45Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
- 8:46Speaker 3: And by the way, we all have alibis. If any
- 8:50Speaker 3: of these people, we will vouch for each.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Other, right exactly. Sam Donaldson is would have been a
- 8:56Speaker 5: better pick. He's ninety. But I submitted my list, so.
- 9:00Speaker 1: It's too late. Frank has carved it into stone with
- 9:03Speaker 1: his finger, with his bony, it's his carving finger.
- 9:10Speaker 2: How do you spell? Just don't? Just don't? You can
- 9:14Speaker 2: leave her off, don't.
- 9:15Speaker 3: There we go.
- 9:15Speaker 1: So there's our celebrity deadpool for the year. Play along
- 9:19Speaker 1: with us, you ghoules.
