Jeff Ross: Well we're back, we're on the 405. Remembering Bob Saget. A king in the comedy world. Bobby daddy. Our brother. Our big brother. John and I went to pick up his car at LAX where he left it.
John Mayer: I think it's a good opportunity to say a few things.
JR: What do you want to say? Without crying because if we crash—
JM: I've just never known a human being on this earth that can give this much love individually and completely to that many people. In a way that made each person feel that he was a main character in their life, and they were a main character in his life. And I've never felt more—you know at like a four way stop, sorry for the metaphors. My metaphors are terrible the last four days. Not that they were ever great. You know how nobody ever goes at a four way stop
Everyone is so aware how universal Bob's love for people was, that nobody wants to step on anyone else's toes. And the fear for me is that everyone, out of respect, demures and defers. And that's just because people understand how important their personal relationship with Bob was. The biggest fear would be talking about the love of Bob in a way that would supersede someone else's love of Bob. Do you know what I mean?
JR: He really was love. He represented that. He has a beautiful wife. Three daughters. And made his fake family from TV into his real family.
JM: And I was telling Jeff, and thirty-thousand people are tied for third place. And I'll tell you this: do you know how effusive you have to be in your love for everyone in your life for each and every person you loved to be told by another, "he loved you so much."?
[...]
JR: He really was the guy you called if you had a life issue. And there's gonna be something missing for a long time.
JM: I'm not really good at admitting that I'm a beginner at something, and this is my first time here. I'm a rookie. I'm a first time caller. And the tough part, or one of the tough parts because there are so many, is that the only person that could have given me the advice I needed in a nuanced way that I could understand is Bob. Because Bob was, sadly, a graduate of the university of loss. He was a professor.
JR: A professional mourner, almost. A what?
JM: A professor. And it's hard when the person you would have gone to to go, "Hey what's this all about?" You know? You can't synthesize—
JR: I just want to remind you that the windshield wipers—
JM: [Laughs] You can't synthesize something you needed to hear from someone that was important and that could have helped you. Because he would have put it in a way—I can come close. I can tell myself a lot of things for Bob or from Bob. I can't tell myself what he would have told me about loss because I don't know about loss. But he does and did, and he would have told me something that I would have held onto. So the guy to help with this is the guy who's not here.
JR: Hi Candace [Cameron]. We love you Candace.
JM: We love you Candace.
[...]
JM: Let me give you a point of reference on how long and valued Bob's relationship are with people. I've known Bob for 15 years and I'm the new guy. I'm the new guy.
JR: Right. Hi Jimmy [Kimmel]. We love you buddy. Jimmy says, "I love you both but I think Bob would want me to report this car stolen. Dialing 911."
[Laughing]
