    That Time Rob Reiner And Martin Sheen Dropped By

    In light of the news of Rob Reiner, apparently being murdered in his home, I thought it'd be fun to re-visit that day both he and Martin Sheen dropped by the radio station. Rob was all business, for the most part...Martin, on the other hand, actually came back to the studio and wanted to hang out all morning. Here is that segment from 2004 when they were campaiging for Howard Dean.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
