  Speaker 3: get through this stinking podcast.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: That's not true. So before we play one of our
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: favorite clips we've ever had in the history of the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: radio show, apparently we have a new one. So these
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: are news anchors getting into an argument on the air,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Michael or like off the air, but they typed it's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: off the air, but cameras are rolling, so it sounds.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Like a segment went bad. Is apparently what happened.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's hear it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to do that again. I am I'm
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: an Amy script the Amy's Angels one there was the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: second thing didn't make sense, so I was just trying
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to fix that part. And I can't wait for you
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to go through them all and then I go through
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: them because then I'm already getting ready by that. But
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: this time we had to do the PSAs, So.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Finish, what go ahead?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think you are you walking out really angry?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Geez?

  Speaker 2: Oh, Pete, can I feel please finish? We're'm gonna say
• 1:04

  Speaker 1: Grow up.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'm so done with her antics telling on me every
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: five seconds. I'm done.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: So I wish there was more. There had to be
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: more because it was mundane. But then it went zero
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to right. There had to be more. Who cut it off?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Damn it?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Uh? It sounded like there was a gentleman there who
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was trying to calm things down. And you hear that
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: towards the end, And isn't the woman in the classic? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So now we're going to go back to uh famous
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles news. We gotta get more of that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: There's got to be Unless somebody realized, oh, these mics
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: are hot and cut it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: At that could be very well.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's happened to us more than once.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: We're usually bad. Well I'm not gonna say we're usually bad.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Mouthing yeah, good lord man would be a bad idea.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: The smart thing if you're in broadcasting is to never
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: say anything around a microphone that you don't want aired
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: or recorded. That's the smart thing to do. Do I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: follow that? Have I followed that? Over the previous forty
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: three years I've been talking into microphones? Uh No, I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just lucky that there's not some viral something going out there.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: That is a national meme of various things.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I've said, We've become savvy enough though that if we're
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: in a studio with microphones and we're getting, you know, treasonous,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: that we unplug the microphone.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Reason. So this is a classic. I've heard it eight
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: million times and I look forward to hearing it again.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's so good. Male anchor and female anchor who had
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: been working together for years, and they were a big
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: deal in Los Angeles for a long time, and they
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: got I don't know what I've probably been building for years. Anyway,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this is how it went during a commercial break.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I guess first second, all the time it frequently is
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: complaining about it, then we better because tonight we better
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: talk about it because I think you've got a problem.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: I think we've got a problem, all right, if that's
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: what you think, And we'll talk about it after the show,
• 3:15

  Speaker 6: Night after night, night after night where what looks.
• 3:27

  Speaker 3: Johnny Mott is refusing to choose sides in the current
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: bitch fest.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: There's so much goodness in that. Oh, I know, we've
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: always enjoyed the fact that poor Hill de Green, who
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: done nothing wrong? WHOA how did I come in? Frick?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: He's thinking, how did I get involved in this? Do
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you want to work with shit? Wait on shit? Oh
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: my god. And then I like, he accuses her of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: being too drunk to do her job and she has
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: like no response to it. Well, that's not true.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: I mean, if you told.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Me I was drunk on the air and I wasn't,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about? Let's she is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: too drunk to come up with a better comeback. That's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: not true.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Night after night, I feel I almost feel bad for
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: her because she's a gentle spirit.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: She sounds a dope.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, probably hot. I don't I don't know her. Actually,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I think she's still kicking. Harold Green passed what a
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: couple of years ago. I don't know what Headstone say.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: He wasn't ship.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: Quin saying is ship You.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Want to work with Harold Green? That's fine, good Old
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Harold Green. You want to work with shit?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Hans, I'm a nice guy, best way, maybe my
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: best days are behind. He's no need to you know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not even.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: In this argument. Ah boy, that is so dangnan funny.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, she has the aggressiveness because they had to go
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: back on the air, so everybody had to keep cool,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: kind of.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Which one of them is pounding the papers. You think,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is that him or her that's dealing with their frustration
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: by pounding the scripts over and over again. I guess
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: it's him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's him. Probably seemed like a more male
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: thing today, and.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Her really weak retort of, oh, you're not only wrong,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you're way out of line.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Wow, about if I up the anti handing a little bit.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Oh here we go, Hell, hath no fury? Like a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: woman's scored. She's about to lay it on him. You're
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: not only wrong, you're way out of line. What's that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: all you got?
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: You know? She strikes me as a sweet.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And then maybe she's just too nice to get into
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the bare knuckled fight that what's his name was looking
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for there right exactly?
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: We called her, kiddo.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You know that's true.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Look, kiddo, Wow, I just hope those two were able
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to patch it up.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Do we know the story? Did they end up working
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: together for years after that? Or was that the end
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: of it?
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Or I think they continued on.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I think they did too.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I remember we've heard the whole story more than once, but.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It was a long time ago, so back then it
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: will I mean, it's do we have a data on that.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Do you have any idea what year that was. No,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: but it was before something could go viral online and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. So you could have just
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: moved on and it only existed like at radio stations
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and TV stations being passed on like physical media. If
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it happened today, it would be everywhere. Jimmy Fallon would
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: be talking about it, and I mean it would be
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: be memes and set to music and everything like that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You'd have to remss this, You'd have to address it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: You'd have to walk about Harold Harold Green, rug and shit,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: shit Harold Green, the dance remigs, night after night, night
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: after night.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Harold Green, Tonight, Harold Green. That's not true. True. Yes,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: they would have had to have addressed it, but I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: think back in the old days they probably could just
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: soldier on and the ninety of their audience never heard it,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: so didn't know that. Behind the scenes she was talking
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about how drunk she was. I know, you go home,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I have a few shots, come back in here. Differently,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that's not true. Sounds a little true, man. You sound
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a little slow.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Night after night, you know you do occasionally. I know
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: you have run into the drunk who does not slur
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: at all. Right, that's always impressed me. That's that's my
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: uh uh oh, I've had too much because I will.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Start to slur and you notice it yourself. Oh yeah.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. In fact, it's you know sometimes that happens that
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you think, no, I'm fine, and then like thirty seconds
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: later you're like, that's why I think, oh oh no, whoops. Yeah,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to finish this. Yeah, because I'd rather
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: not be embarrassing myself.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I do that enough.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, Michael, that's the question is strictly for entertainment purposes
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: anybody listening, So would possibly either one of you have
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: ever been inebriated?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Oh many times? Oh yeah, what on the air? Yeah yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: many times, not many times, but more than once.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean there have been a couple of
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: things that we've done.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: In the evening, well I've done I have to separate
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: between things where and I don't know if they I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: don't know if you could still get away with this
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: in the radio industry. Maybe it could, because they do
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that on New Year's Eve on CNN. That's part of
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: their whole thing. How drunk They're going to get nobody
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: watches to see how drunk they get. But I've done
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of radio things where drinking was like
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: we were all drinking and that was part of the deal.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Like you're broadcasting at a parade or a concert or whatever,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and you're talking about how much you're drinking and everybody
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: knows you. That's different then the I wasn't supposed to
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: be drunk and I was, which only happened two or
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: three times I think, where I was actually drunk working
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: like an evening shift. God, I had one bad one
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Woo oh no. My best friend and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I went out. We drank all afternoon and I had
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to work the shift that night. Oh boy, and I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: was so damn hammered and uh playing records at the time.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what happens when you're drunk the record.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if it's a five minute song. It's
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: over in like that. I mean, you you get it on,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you get it rolling, you try not to slur out
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: this is Fleetwood mac over enunciating seato slur and uh,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and then you think, okay, I'm cool for a little
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: bit and you look over it's over and it's going
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: skits over you know it's already at the end of
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the song. Oh that was rough. I absolutely should have
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: would have been fired for that if anybody had caught on. Wowow,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that was rough. I think that was the only time
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I was actually drunk when I was supposed to not
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: be drunk. But that was a rough one. Horrifically hungover. Yeah,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: oh my god, that's a different topic. Yeah. Name me
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: somebody in the radio or TV business that has not
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: done their job horrifically hungover and maybe they work for
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: k q R, Quaker Television or.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Something, right, Yeah, not good memories. Oh no, that's good
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: at all that. I can feel the nausea, the pain,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: the headache.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Go if I remember just the same. Wait, I'm not
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: done with my description. It was k c FX, which
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I believe still exists in Kansas City, and we're on
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the air and game snow down the Fox. Yes, we

  Speaker 1: had the chiefs and I was working overnights on like
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a Saturday night, and it's three o'clock in the morning.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how many people were listening, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: if I remember right, I'll have to ask my friend Chris,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: because he was there in the studio. People were calling
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: in and saying dude, are you okay? Oh yeah, that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: was not good. Oh good boy. He could have snuffed

  Speaker 3: You go home, you drink forty beers. You're not the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: same guy.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: That's not that very true. Well, I guess that's it.
