Put your mic more in front of your mouth.

SPEAKER_1 (1:20)

The duo's back.

Branson Quirke (1:21)

We got to move your mic in front of your mouth so good people can hear you.

Hey, people. You have a radio voice.

Eric Wilson (1:27)

Ah! I just have something for the radio.

Branson Quirke (1:30)

It's hard to know what time it is in this building because there's no windows.

Eric Wilson (1:35)

But you know what? They do have clocks everywhere. Like right here, it's currently 1:50 p.m. Yeah.

Branson Quirke (1:43)

No, no, you're right. You're right. Well, I hope you had a good day, Eric. I hope you had a great day.

Eric Wilson (1:46)

I've had a great day.

Branson Quirke (1:47)

A good weekend, too.

Eric Wilson (1:48)

Great, eventful weekend. We hung out over the weekend. Branson and I went to Tenderfest.

Branson Quirke (1:53)

Chicken Tender Festival. We ate every chicken finger there.

Eric Wilson (1:58)

Everyone?

Branson Quirke (1:59)

Not everyone, except the ones with the sauce on it, a couple of them, because I'm on No Sugar.

Eric Wilson (2:03)

But it was a good time.

Branson Quirke (2:04)

It was a great time. You interviewed Lizzo.

Eric Wilson (2:07)

Got to talk to Lizzo, got to talk to Jaleel White, Urkel.

Branson Quirke (2:09)

It's cool. Wait, that was Urkel?

Eric Wilson (2:12)

Yeah.

Branson Quirke (2:13)

I didn't connect it.

Eric Wilson (2:15)

What else could you be?

Branson Quirke (2:17)

I don't know, man. I was loaded in the brain with chicken fingers.

Eric Wilson (2:20)

Pukka Nakua talked to me. I couldn't interview him, but I got to start a conversation with him.

Branson Quirke (2:24)

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_2 (2:24)

Thanks for the invite. Absolutely.

Eric Wilson (2:25)

It was a good time.

Branson Quirke (2:26)

I wasn't VIP, just so everybody knows.

SPEAKER_2 (2:28)

So no water. We'll get there. I had no water.

Eric Wilson (2:31)

All right.

Branson Quirke (2:31)

Well, getting into our stories today. We talked about this this morning, but heartbreaking weekend, Cindy Crawford and also Randy, Randy Gerber, businessman, you may know him.

Their son, their son died this past weekend. And so young too, 27 years old.

He suffered a cardiac arrest just before his death at rehab. We've learned a little bit more details. This was a 9 a.m. yesterday. Yeah. And police and authorities were called for suspected overdose. He was at a Santa Monica-

Eric Wilson (3:06)

Well, they were called for the cardiac arrest.

And then it was reported that it was possibly a drug overdose and that no foul play is suspected. So that's kind of what we're looking at right now. The initial call was for a cardiac arrest. And it does seem right now that it was an overdose.

Branson Quirke (3:24)

Yeah.

And we knew about his... And he was very open about his struggle with substance abuse and drinking.

Eric Wilson (3:32)

I think the craziest part is that he entered the rehab facility the day before he died.

Branson Quirke (3:38)

It was the day before.

Eric Wilson (3:39)

And we're getting more information about this facility itself and kind of his final moments here. But the facility is actually not a rehab facility in the traditional sense, where you think people are locked away and like kept to their rooms and have curfews and that kind of stuff.
