Did I Accidentally Kill Val Kilmer? A Real Genius Story

What's up Let's Get Real Community of Dudes??? Thanks for checking out this segment from the April 5th live radio show!

This is the *real* story of how I *might* have accidentally killed Val Kilmer. (Spoiler: It involves a lemon cake, a Brooklyn apartment, and one of the greatest '80s movies of all time.)

In this episode of *Let's Get Real - A Talk Show Made Just For Guys*, I share a wild and oddly touching experience that unfolded during a trip to NYC for my grandmother-in-law’s 100th birthday. My daughter and I, rekindling our old baking tradition, whipped up a lemon cake and settled in for a father-daughter movie night with *Real Genius*. What we didn’t expect was waking up to the news of Val Kilmer’s passing the very next morning... and the strange quantum entanglement we may have unknowingly tapped into.

Was it fate? Coincidence? Or did we send a ripple through the universe that let the legendary Val Kilmer know it was okay to go? Spanish and I dive into this emotional, hilarious, and strangely magical story—plus a little movie nerding out on *Top Secret*, *Tombstone*, and ‘80s actor duos.

Guys, this one’s got heart, humor, and a whole lotta Real Genius. If you've ever bonded with someone over a great movie or felt like your energy actually meant something—this is your episode.

🎥 Hit play. Subscribe. And maybe go watch *Real Genius* again (but no pressure, universe).
