00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,640

00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: They've made a lot of mistakes. The night is not

Speaker 4: Thank you.

46
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: The last time we talked, I was going to try

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: to have you come in because we had a lot

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 3: of weather going on. And even though I have done

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: weather on TV, as you know, people saytily seventy two sunny,

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: it's it's what is how hard is it to do weather?

51
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: Nell?

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 3: That's right, There's a lot to talk about, but I

53
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 3: think that I always like to have real uh experts

54
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: like yourself. I want to get into so much stuff

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: that I wanted to talk to you about. But we

56
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: do have with Santa Ana Winnevet that's fairly significant all

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: the way up until Sunday when wind warning it's cold

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: in Los Angele.

59
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 4: Right now it's a cold Santa Anna. You can have

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 4: a warm Santa Anna, and you can have a cold

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: and a Santa Anna just makes a note of the

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: direction of the wind, not necessarily the temperature of the wind.

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: But right now it's a very chilly Santa and a wind.

64
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: And we'll have this all the way up until Sunday.

65
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 3: At least from a wind watch perspective. But one of

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: the things I know is that this year, or this

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: time last year, we also had a very serious Santa

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: An event, very different than what we're talking about today.

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: I live in Treluca Lake and we had ninety mile

70
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: an hour winds at the beginning of the Pacific Palisades Fire.

71
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: It was really I've said this to my friends, it

72
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: was one of the scariest weather events I've ever experienced.

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: I wasn't on the air. I've been retired for a

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: few years, but that was the scariest I've ever been through.

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: When a weather person says they're scared, that's not how

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: it's supposed to go. You're supposed to make us all

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: feel better and think like everything's going to be fun.

78
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: That's all a superficial front when we're on the air,

79
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: because you know, you have other people's But when I'm

80
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: sitting there quaking in my own apartment, uh huh. But

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 4: it was, it was bad, and it was it was

82
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: just ugly, and this is a chilly one today. But

83
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: the good news today is that the National Weather Service

84
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 4: has decided that we, for the first time in twenty

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: five years, are without a drought love it, which is huge.

86
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 4: Now we can't get too excited about that though, because

87
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 4: with climate change being the way it is, we're going

88
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: to vacillate between very dry and very wet, and so

89
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: it remains to be seen what happens.

90
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: You don't want to vacillate. No, it's vacillating to do

91
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: it on the radio because we can see. Well, you're

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: you know, as far as I know, one of the

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 3: only local news mere mortals to ever be on the

94
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: Tonight Show, at least out of everybody that I know,

95
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: or at least in the capacity that you were performing.

96
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: Not like a lot of us have been on late

97
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: night shows because they're making fun of something stupid that

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,559
Speaker 3: we've done. But you did eight appearances on The Tonight

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 3: Show with Carson and then Leno.

100
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: I did Carson Leno, Gary Shanley, and Joan Rivers no way,

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 4: And the reason for that was I worked right upstairs

102
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 4: at NBC News.

103
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: Which and correct me if I'm wrong. I know that

104
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: this is a theater of the mind here, but rights

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: right across the street, right, I'm pointing out the window here.

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: Right across the parking lot three thousand West. Style of meta.

107
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 4: It was like a museum of broadcasting in that place,

108
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 4: and so if they got short of a guest or

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: somebody fell out, they would call me up. Jim McCauley,

110
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: who was the talent coordinator of the comedians, would call

111
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: me and say, do I have a hip six ready?

112
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: Can you come down and join us for the show?

113
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: And I'd say I would love to. And it was

114
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: always the best way to get booked because you didn't

115
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 4: have time to get nervous.

116
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: Oh, I see what you're saying. But it's incredible you

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: were the ringer because you were just in the building.

118
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: I was in the building, which is how I've kind

119
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: of done my whole career at KTLA as well.

120
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: I know you did that over there and you've made

121
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 4: this great transition.

122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.

123
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: Well, I'm happy to you a great success story. Well, listen,

124
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: Indiana football team is the best in the country. I mean,

125
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 4: they love that quarterback. That kid is a class amazing.

126
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: Somebody told a story. I'm just yeah, somebody told a

127
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: story that before he I guess he played it another

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: college first and he moved up to call Yeah give

129
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: cal So when he when he was moving over to Indiana,

130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 4: he had the coach send him pictures of all the players,

131
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 4: and he memorized their names, and so when he came

132
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: to town, he knew everybody. He conversed with him like

133
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 4: they were old friends. And I thought, what a great

134
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: pr move. This is a smart young man.

135
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: He's super smart.

136
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 4: Then he got the Heightsman, which was awesome.

137
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean, his speech is great, you know, in the

138
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: story with his mom. I mean it is a storybook

139
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: story for IU. And I'm just okay, Like I didn't

140
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 3: graduate from IU. I didn't go to IU except to

141
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: maybe like party a lot when I was in my

142
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: early twenties.

143
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: Did you go to college?

144
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 3: I went to Santa Monica College. I heard I moved

145
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: out before I really, you know, I was like, I

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: gotta be in LA. I know it was going to

147
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: be an, but to be able to see that jersey

148
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: that says Indiana. As much as I left, I love

149
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: seeing US represented on a national on an almost international

150
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: stage doing so well. And even if they don't end

151
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: up making it all the way, hopefully that they pull

152
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: it out. Tonight they're still up forty two to fifteen

153
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: against the Ducks. I let's you know, like I said,

154
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: undefeated for the season. And it's just so great to

155
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: see a good story. Mendoz as incredible character. As you said,

156
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: just a stand up guy, and I think he's also

157
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: just so serious and personal and but also just just

158
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 3: you don't think that that guy is too cool for school.

159
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 3: He obviously works really hard. He tries very hard, and

160
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: he's proud of that. And I think that that's a

161
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 3: really cool thing to see from young.

162
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 4: Patees trust him and love him, and he really endeared

163
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 4: himself to everybody before he even put his uniform on,

164
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: which I thought was very impressive.

165
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: Amen, sir, Well, let's uh, let's keep going here. I

166
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: want to I want to go back to your time

167
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: as early nineteen eighties.

168
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: You started at NBC.

169
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: Christmas Eve nineteen eighty two was my first day on

170
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: the air. They tried to find a day of the

171
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 4: year when there was the least viewers. Yeah, yeah, I

172
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 4: get it. So if I screwed up, I would be

173
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: you know, nobody would see it.

174
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: And I think of you as somebody who.

175
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 3: Especially at that time, there weren't a lot of big personalities.

176
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: I guess they were, but they weren't in the way

177
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: that I know you to be a personality where you're

178
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: a comic and your fun and you're funny, and I

179
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 3: think that especially now the other stations in the city,

180
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: and I won't speak ill of them, but I don't

181
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: think that there's a lot of that kind of representation

182
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: of people who are real people having fun. There's a

183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 3: lot of people who've gone through the system, but I

184
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 3: think other than KTLA, I don't know that there's a

185
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: lot of other people who were doing stuff like you

186
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: were doing.

187
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 4: I think it was a different time in broadcasting. First

188
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 4: of all, when I started nineteen eighty two, there were

189
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 4: basically three stations doing news two, seven, and four, and

190
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: then we had the Independence five right, nine eleven, and

191
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: then even thirteen, and then five, nine, eleven and thirteen

192
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: started doing news all day long. So the competition increased exponentially.

193
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: And when I started the evening news was almost like

194
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: the KTLA morning news, which continues to dominate the marketplace,

195
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 4: in that it was familial. Everybody, Hey, what did you

196
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 4: do over the weekend? You're talking? Oh, yes, here's a

197
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 4: little news for you. And I was hired as a personality.

198
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: I was hired from the comedy store, right, and so

199
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 4: I was hired just to be I always said that

200
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: my job was to be the palette cleanser between the

201
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: tragedy and the sports.

202
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: Yes.

203
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely, they were to open the show with all the

204
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 4: bad news and then I would give people a breather

205
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: and then bring out Fred Rogan, who was also amusing.

206
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, very amusing.

207
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 4: Indeed.

208
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We're still

209
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: here with Fritz Coleman. You could stick around through the

210
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: commercial break, yes, because we've got lots to talk about.

211
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AMC on demand.

212
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 3: Any reason we're here with you joining us in studio

213
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: once again, the one and only Fritz Coleman. So when

214
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: when you became the mayor of Teluca Lake, what kind

215
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: of benefits came along with that? Or when did that

216
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: happen for you? I mean, I know it's a it's

217
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: honorary mayor, but as far as I'm concerned, you're the

218
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 3: mayor of Toluca A.

219
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: Well, it's an honorary position. Therefore you can't be impeached

220
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 4: and you just go until you've embarrassed the community and

221
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 4: they decided, listen, we're gonna make some change, right my own,

222
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: I only have one responsibility a year okay. That is

223
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: on the first Friday of December, I officiate at a

224
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: celebration where we light the five foot Christmas Treuth on

225
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 4: Riverside Drive. And that's all I do.

226
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: Do you have to change the light bulbs when they

227
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: go out of the.

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,239
Speaker 4: Team of volunteer housewives.

229
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 3: I love that and I and I'm thinking about you know,

230
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: your your your history as a comic, and then you

231
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 3: become this weather person, this weather caster, and then you

232
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: have this really storied career for a really long time

233
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: as a as a weather person, but also someone who's

234
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 3: who's familial and fun and funny. I had a boss

235
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: one time who asked me what I wanted to do,

236
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: why I wanted to be on TV, which is a

237
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: trick question. I didn't realize this at the time, but

238
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: he was like, why do you want to be on TV?

239
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 3: Why should I let you be on TV? He doesn't work,

240
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: by the way, at the place anymore anymore, and I couldn't.

241
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: The thing that I came up with was I want

242
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: to make people laugh. And that was the wrong answer,

243
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: by the way, for him. He was very much and

244
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: why would you? But I think about you and I.

245
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 4: Get to sneaking in under the radar, right.

246
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: Right, I guess I just should have.

247
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 4: Because when you do the weather, as you will know,

248
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 4: people say, well, you know, some days you're funny, in

249
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: some days you're not. You always have to be conscious

250
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 4: of either the story you're coming out of or the

251
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: story you're going into. Of course, because after a drive by,

252
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 4: you can't go hey, so listen, you know, you know

253
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 4: you're really.

254
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: You got those buicks, right, I mean, wow, crazy for

255
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: a drive by, So you go with the buick. Then

256
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: when you when you've gone to comedy too as well,

257
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: you know we're doing this show it's called Unassisted Living,

258
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: and it's at the El Portal Theater and you're doing

259
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 3: a residency, so you got to show every month, right,

260
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: next one is January twenty fifth, correct, So these are

261
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: shows that are how do you approach your comedy in

262
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 3: these shows?

263
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: Well? I came up with a format for myself about

264
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: thirty years ago called the single topic monologue, where I

265
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 4: have something I want to talk about and I build

266
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: the whole show around it. My first one was called

267
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 4: It's Me Dad. It was about being a divorced father,

268
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: and I was doing it at the Actor's Forum Theater

269
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 4: on Magnolia Boulevard in North Hollywood for a year and

270
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 4: k CET Public Television saw it and said, we want

271
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 4: to put this on our TV station. That's awesome, So

272
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: they got me to do it. They built a set,

273
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 4: they invested all this morning, and they did it as

274
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: a fundraising you know, like a pledge, yeah, function, and

275
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: it aired every Father's Day for several Fathers' days. After

276
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: a years, it was unbelievable. So the next one was

277
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: called The Reception, which was me discussing divorce for an

278
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 4: hour and a half. And then the third one I

279
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 4: did was called Tonight at eleven, which was about the

280
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: news business. Then the fourth one I did was called

281
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: Defying Gravity, which was the first show I did where

282
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 4: I said, oh my god, I'm old. What's this experience

283
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 4: going to be like? Now I've done an unassisted living

284
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 4: where I am old, there's no escape, I'm a senior citizen,

285
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 4: I'm carrying a Medicare card, and I'm just discussing the

286
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 4: joys and the quirkiness of being a person in his seventies.

287
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: In studio with Fritz Coleman. We're talking about his career

288
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: as an NBC media, a weather person and also a

289
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 3: comedian doing shows like the one you can see Assisted

290
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: Living at the l Portal Theater. So let's go back

291
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: to NBC for a second. Over the course of the

292
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 3: time that you've been there, or that you were there,

293
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 3: I think about what else is going on in local

294
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: TV at the same time, right, Like I think you're

295
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: synonymous with Channel four in the early nineties, the KTLA

296
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: morning news comes around there. They just changed the way. Yeah, yeah,

297
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: and and I'll tell Frank you said that. And is

298
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: there any point, you know, we get in trouble still,

299
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: Like I got in trouble recently for saying a hole.

300
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 3: I didn't even say the word, I said the letter

301
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: a hole. And I called myself one in something and

302
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: I got.

303
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 2: Called into the you know, in the office.

304
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: Did you ever do you have any memories of anything

305
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: that ever happened that you were that you pushed it

306
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: too far, or that you they said, Fritz, come on

307
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: in here, let's check the tape on this.

308
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 4: Well, they didn't have to check the tape. The viewers

309
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: were calling them by the thousand oh No. In the

310
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: old days, they used to send the entire news team

311
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 4: to the Olympics, like one hundred people would go over

312
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: there for three weeks and we would do all the

313
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: broadcasts from the various venues. In nineteen eighty eight, we

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: went to the sol Olympics, which was a spectacular experience,

315
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: and then we ninety two, we went to Atlanta and

316
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: I was doing the weather forecast on the same location

317
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 4: where the Olympic Park bomb went off, oh Man, five

318
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 4: minutes before the bomb went off, because we were doing

319
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 4: live news. So for the eleven o'clock news, it was

320
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: two o'clock in the morning Atlanta town and the bomb

321
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: went off shortly before that, and it was unbelievable. So anyway,

322
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: getting back to the Korea Olympics, it was fun. It

323
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: was a cultural stretch because it's very different over there.

324
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 4: So I was I'm embarrassed to say this now. I

325
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: was doing the five o'clock news with a Japanese anchor,

326
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: lady of Japanese extraction nameda Toyota. Came from the Bay

327
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: Area and I came back and like the first day

328
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: I'm on the air, I don't know who the male

329
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: anchor was at the time. Jess Marlow said, so, how's

330
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 4: it feel to be back? And I said, Jess, it

331
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: was so great to get off that plane and see

332
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: these beautiful American women. And as soon as I said it,

333
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: I said, I was trying to decide is this a

334
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 4: career ender? And I apologize, you know what I mean.

335
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 4: And I just wasn't thinking about it. I didn't think

336
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 4: of her in terms of not.

337
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: Being which which I feel like, is that that's just

338
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: an I accidentally put my foot in my mouth cut

339
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: it exactly. Wow, But you survived it though I did.

340
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: Was there any ever desire?

341
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: I never said a whole one.

342
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: No, that's right, No, you could. I know, it's crazy.

343
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: I can't believe I still have a job. Did you

344
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: ever want to go to kt LA? Did you ever

345
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 3: want to go to Fox eleven? Or was it forty

346
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: years at NBC? You are synonymous in my mind with

347
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 3: Channel four.

348
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: Well, you're very nice to say that. I'll tell you

349
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 4: know what it is. It's all about the chemistry. Yeah.

350
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: We had wonderful anchors there, Chuck and Colleen and Fred

351
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 4: Rogan and I got along great. Fred and I were

352
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 4: the beneficiaries of an astonishing amount of money spent on promotion.

353
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: They did the Fritz and Fred commercials where we had

354
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: these faux athletic events. And I would always win.

355
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: Because unbelievable production.

356
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 4: Oh my god, it was a week off to shoot

357
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 4: these things, and there was craft services and beautiful women

358
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: in this bating suits. It was unbelievable.

359
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: Glenn Walker always says that he's in the ten years

360
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 3: too Late club, and I feel like I'm in the

361
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 3: twenty years two late club, because that's the kind of

362
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: stuff that I just like, I cannot even imagine.

363
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 4: Well, in those days, they used to spend you know,

364
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: it was all about promotion. I've got to tell you.

365
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: I never realized the power of advertising, yeah, and the

366
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: power of promotion until I benefited from this. Because people

367
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 4: to this day they had afraid. They invented a phrase

368
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 4: for me called Fritz said it would be like this, yeah,

369
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 4: and so they'd put it on a billboard. There was

370
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: nothing on there but a blue background of white front.

371
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 4: Fritz said it would be like this, And to this day,

372
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: women in their nineties on Walkers will come up doing

373
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 4: in ron Hey, Rich, that's right, it's unbelievable.

374
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: Conway just said it to you when he was walking out.

375
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: It's a it's a thing, you know that Henry de Carlo,

376
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 3: who's the meteorologist in the morning they have. They did

377
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: a version of that on the broadcast. Uh, on the

378
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: on the tower outside in front of KTLA. Henry predicted this,

379
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 3: and he's pointing up to the sky of course, at

380
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: which you know, like everything we've we've sure ripped it

381
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: off from from you.

382
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 4: Uh.

383
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 3: And there was a I don't know if you remember,

384
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, somebody broke into the lot,

385
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 3: the Netflix, the KTLA lot, some crazy person and scaled

386
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: the tower, climbed up into it. So all the photos

387
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 3: that went out across across the world or a guy

388
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: standing on top of the tower with like a free

389
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: Billie Eilish crazy sign, and right below it is a

390
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: picture of Henry de Carlo's smiling face pointing up saying

391
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: Henry predicted this.

392
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: So so you know, but well, i'll tell you. I'll

393
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 4: tell you one of the great cosmic accidents that happened

394
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 4: with the Fritz said it would be like this campaign.

395
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: So this is at the time when Jimmy Carter was

396
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: running for president and his vice presidential candidate was Fritz Mondale.

397
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: So the right wing media in Orange County started to

398
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 4: see five hundred billboards pop up over the place. Fritz

399
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 4: said it would be like this, and some conservative columnists

400
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: in the Orange County Register wrote, finally the media has

401
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: that guts to admit their left wing bank. They've got

402
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 4: this Fritz set it would be like this. And somebody

403
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: sent me the article and I almost died. So I

404
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 4: sent the guy an autograph picture and great shirt, perfect,

405
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 4: and I said, thank you for the promotions.

406
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 3: This is obviously before you could just google stuff. Oh,

407
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 3: I know, and so well, we got to take a

408
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: break here. I wonder if you just stick around through

409
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 3: the break. When you come back, let's just talk about

410
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 3: the show's do Let's talk about when people can see

411
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: you next, and then what they can expect in unassisted living,

412
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: which I think is genius.

413
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: Great title.

414
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

415
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: In studio with Fritz Coleman. Now, if you were still

416
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: at KNBC, would you still come and do this show

417
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: even though I work at the Enemy or did you

418
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: not think of it that way?

419
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: You're no, this is.

420
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 4: Not the Enemy. This is a different medium altogether. No,

421
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 4: are you kidding me? I'd mean nuts not to come

422
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 4: on here. KFI is an iconic stage.

423
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: Well, we're really lucky to have you.

00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: a partnership with kN X for a long time, and

426
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 3: you would do a radio or was it KFI that

428
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: I did K BIG. I did the weather for Charlie

429
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: Toona when he was on K BIG. And I did

00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: line in my home and I did it.

432
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: And that's the best.

433
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. And but you know I was in radio for

00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, by nature, if they were winning, you would be.

440
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: I've been out here longer than I was in my hometown.

441
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: But I still don't feel like a resident. Isn't that

442
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 4: weird that.

443
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,280

444
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:19,680

446
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 4: Like three years ago, I moved. I finally moved there.

447
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 4: It's not one of those things where he had to

448
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 4: be in town.

449
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, that's right.

450
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: Well, that's good because it's really just about you know,

451
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: forty five feet like one one one part of the

452
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 3: riverside to the other. Exactly did they got your picture

453
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: up at the Trader Joe's, I pray, I don't know.

454
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: They have it at Bob's Big Boy, which is more important.

455
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 3: That's a huge that's the city hall, right, yeah, yeah,

456
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 3: how are the constituents.

457
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 4: The constituents are great. Yeah, we have old people and

458
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: people below about sixty five have no idea who I am,

459
00:21:59,080 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: so it means nothing.

460
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 3: Now there's a great little wine bar over there next

461
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: to the foreman. I can't spin the bottle. It might

462
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: be called.

463
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: I've never been in there. It's great.

464
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: As the mayor, you got to you gotta meet your people.

465
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: I happen to be a sober person, so I have

466
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 4: to avoid plays.

467
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: You don't have a lot to do there though, not

468
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: unless they maybe have a health health code violation. So

469
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 3: we're sitting here watching an absolute domination of the Oregon Ducks.

470
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 4: By the Chick fil A Peach Bowl.

471
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: It's the peach Bowl.

472
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 4: Now there's some of the branding lately is unbelievable. That

473
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 4: Tony the Tiger.

474
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: Insurance boy, right, the VRBO you're getting the neighbors called

475
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 3: on you for being too noisy bowl.

476
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 4: You know, I don't get how that benefits either sponsor, but.

477
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: Hey, why not.

478
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: So if you think about your comedy now, I know

479
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: you still really like the one story monologue. But are

480
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 3: you do you do you like the Carson Leno style,

481
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 3: like ten to fifteen jokes in ten minutes?

482
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: Thing?

483
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 4: Is it?

484
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: Is it a good like setup punchline or do you

485
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 2: feel more.

486
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 4: I'm a storyteller. Yeah, I spin tales, some of them

487
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: are true, and I like to tell stories. I was

488
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 4: drawn to the business by George Carlin, who was a

489
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: great practitioner of language. Yeah, and I like metaphor, and

490
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 4: I like exaggeration, and I.

491
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 3: Like stories observational stuff, especially I think for unassisted living,

492
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: which obviously is all about reclaiming.

493
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 4: Your senior years exactly, and I think doing that, the

494
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 4: truth is that we're the only ones with cash. People

495
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 4: over sixty five have all the savings. Kids below they

496
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 4: can't even get employed. Gen X and gen z.

497
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: P, Well, yes, that's right, and I am reminded of

498
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: that every single time I look at my Pharaoh one K.

499
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: But you know, the kind of relatable stuff that you're

500
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 3: talking about in the shows, I think it's it's relatable

501
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: whether you are eating dinner in the Early Bird Special

502
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: Club or not.

503
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 4: Now I say to people, uh, you know, this is

504
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 4: a great New Year's gift for your parents. Love it,

505
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: but don't feel that you can't come. Because people who

506
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 4: are not seniors that can use this show as a cautionary.

507
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 5: Tale, well they all have fortunate enough.

508
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you were fortunate enough to make it

509
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: the seniorhood, this is what your life is going to

510
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 4: be like.

511
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: So the show is early, which is the same in.

512
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 4: The afternoon because my audience likes to be home by dark.

513
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: Of course, what sort of stuff are you going to

514
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: be talking about? Is it a different show every single

515
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: time too?

516
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 4: Not completely. I I do a new block of material

517
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 4: every time, but the basic template of the show remains

518
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: the same. Yeah. That way, I have a beginning and

519
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: an end that I know are strong. But if I

520
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: fail in between, I have another half hour to build

521
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 4: myself out of a hole before they go say good night.

522
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: That is funny, and they've already paid So at that point,

523
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 3: you know exactly, It's like, well.

524
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we talk about everything. I talk about being

525
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 4: a grandparent, I talk about how I've changed as a senior,

526
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 4: don't particularly like who I've I've become a lot lazier.

527
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: I talk about, you know, cryptocurrency, I talk about my

528
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 4: friends that have changed. I talk about my best friend

529
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: who became a vegan, and I just make fun of

530
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 4: him for fifteen minutes. Love it, and just all the

531
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 4: stuff that common experiences of getting old. Because most of

532
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 4: my laughs that I get from my audience are laughs

533
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 4: of recognition. They say, you know, that's that's how I.

534
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 2: Can relate to that.

535
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's really how the Internet works, is

536
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: that when people think something is not necessarily even funny,

537
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: but they think it's relatable, they share it.

538
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: You know.

539
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: That's like really the driving and I.

540
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 4: Have found that these days people just want to be

541
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: taken out of their heads. We have so much in

542
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 4: our current events in our political world that separate us.

543
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: They love the fact that here's the common experience of

544
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 4: getting old in America.

545
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, well, said Fritz Coleman. Thank you so much

546

Speaker 4: Thank you. You've mastered every kind of media in this town.

549
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: You do a thing at KTLA, you do you're on

550
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,640

553
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm just waiting for somebody to think, like, Okay, that's enough,

554
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 3: thank you.

555
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: You could stop talking.

556
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 4: And man di firstifications the key.

557
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: I also I also make Frank Buckley's lunch. That's something

558
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: that's really yeah, and he's picky.

559
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: There's such a great team over there. They really are.

560
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: I was really moved when Sam passed away. Yeah, at

561
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 4: all of their reactions, and you could tell the family

562
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: connections in the midst of the world.

563
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: It's really weird, you know.

564
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 3: And we're coming up on it'll be two years and

565
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 3: match unbelievable and you know, as as as you know,

566
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 3: I've told you, you know, I studied television in Los

567
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: Angeles and media in LA and getting to work with

568
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: him every day and see sort of how he created

569
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: the energy of that place.

570
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he represents and I might fall into the

571
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 4: same category, but not to the magnet dude. I never

572
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: realized how powerful he was. When I launched this show

573
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 4: at the Elportol Theater. He had me on as a

574
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 4: guest for three minutes and I sold out two shows

575
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: just on that little appearance. Yeah, he was very forceful

576
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 4: in this media. But I think I was of that

577
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 4: era where the personalities were big and that was important. Yes,

578
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 4: it's not so much anymore, especially in weather because with

579
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 4: climate change and everything, it's a different era. But he was.

580
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 4: He was a star of the past.

581
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we miss him. We miss him a lot.

582
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 4: I don't blame him.

583
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: Fritz Coleman, thank you so much.

598
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 5: the New Year police are going to bust you either way.

599
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's.

00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: a manner of speaking.

606
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,760

608
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: I know it was kind of sad, well because I

609
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: missed that whole week ahead because I was doing Conway

610
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 3: before before New Year's.

611
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: Eve, which I kind of made me think you were

612
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 5: a little bit of a trader.

613
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: You think I was a trader because I did Conway.

614
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,400

620
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 3: I was talking to our program director Brian Long earlier

621

624
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: got sick in San Francisco, and I was reflecting with

625
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 3: him just how wonderful it has been and how surprising

626
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: it has been that I've been able to come and

627
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: do this, because I had originally signed up to just

628
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: do the Sunday show from two to four, and I

629
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: was so stoked on that, and then they called me

630
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: up and said, hey, do you want to come do

631
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 3: some Mondays and Fridays from seven to ten? And I

632
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, because three hours is a

633
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 3: long time and it's a long time to do when

634
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 3: you also got a full time job. But I just,

635
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: you know, had a little bit of a break and

636
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: I really got to reflect about how how great it's been,

637
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: how great it's been to meet you Runner, to meet Fuje,

638
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: to meet Croje Bellio. It's like you got a whole

639
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: new family, a kind of and I was really excited

640
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: to come back. And then you know, in the Bay,

641
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 3: like I said, and I know where it happened. I

642
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 3: was at the cal Academy of Arts and Sciences. It's

643
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 3: like a science museum in the Golden Gate Park and

644
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: I was in the basement where the aquarium is and

645
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: I'm there with my girlfriend and I'm talking and I

646
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: was just like, it's hot. There's one hundred and fifty

647
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: kids there. It's a couple of days after the holidays.

648
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 3: It's muggy. I'm like, we're getting sick and lo and behold.

649
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: Two days later, I'm drinking a lot of water, but

650
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: I still feel thirsty. My eyes are doing that thing

651
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 3: where they feel like they're just like, oh, I can't

652
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 3: wake up.

653
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 5: Was it COVID.

654
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it was. No, it wasn't COVID. It's

655
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: just some kind of head cold. I had had COVID

656
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: in July, June, June, so I think that I probably still,

657
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: hopefully still have some community to that.

658
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: But it really it really knocked me out.

659
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: And I didn't really feel that bad, but I sounded

660
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: bad and I was sneezing a lot, and I thought,

661
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: you know, I would hate to come back in here

662
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: sound gross and then get everybody sick. So I was

663
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: not here on Monday, but happy to be back here,

664
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: even though I am missing the last four minutes of

665
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 3: this unbelievable football game.

666
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 5: If you want to just watch the game, Foush and

667
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 5: I can say you guys can just rest of the hour.

668
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 5: Do you see what's happening here? No, I don't care

669
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 5: about that stuff.

670
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: I don't know how to not as an Indiana a

671
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: person who grew up in Indiana, and again I couldn't

672
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 3: have got out of there faster, but just to see it,

673
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: to see that name Indiana, those letters on a jersey

674
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: be represented in this huge, huge scale, and to have

675
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: them do so well, it just makes me feel so proud.

676
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 3: I'm a bandwagoner, I admit it, but I watched this

677
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: season and I just think it's it's a remarkable thing.

678
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: And I know that Oregon is such a powerhouse football franchise.

679
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: You know, they win, they just win. And Indiana for

680
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 3: them to come this far and to do this well

681
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 3: and apparently what now will look like hopefully you know,

682
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: only three minutes left, fifty six to fifteen. I don't

683
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: think that there's a chance now for Indiana to not

684
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: come away with this, but to beat Oregon twice in

685
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: the same season, win the semi finals, move on to

686
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 3: the championship, have a shot at the championship against Miami.

687
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: That's a that's very very cool. None of those words

688
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 5: that you just said mean anything to me. But you

689
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 5: do know that I lived in Indiana for a while,

690
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 5: I know, while I was going to grad school at Purdue,

691
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: and having been there, I can say I kind of

692
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 5: hope they lose. Okay, I'm really rooting for Portland. No, no,

693
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 5: even though I don't care about sports. Well it's not Portland,

694
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: it's Eugene whatever, and whoever it is, I hope they

695
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 5: beat Indiana.

696
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 3: Well, sorry, bucko, you got yeah, yeah, I don't think.

697
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I guess anything is possible. Fifteen

698
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 3: to fifty six on you can pull it out. Those

699
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: are blasphemous words. I just said some really nice stuff

700
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: and then you came in here.

701
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 4: I wasn't a.

702
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 5: Personal attack against you. I was an attack on your

703
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 5: home state, right.

704
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: Right right, right right, Well listen, and if they had

705
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 3: not been doing well, then I wouldn't have cared at all.

706
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 5: But in fact, let me just compliment you on the

707
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: that really butch haircut, thinking.

708
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm so mad, not you, I'm so mad.

709
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 3: I went and got a haircut and then they were like,

710
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 3: I was like, please don't cut very much of it,

711
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 3: which they never They always cut a lot of it,

712
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: you know, they always cut it whenever you. I showed

713
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: her a picture of myself. I didn't even take a

714
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 3: reference photo. That was like a you know, some people

715
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: show up and they got like a book and it's

716
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: like there's bread Pitta with that haircut, and it's like,

717
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: good luck, bucko, that's not gonna happen. But I go

718
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: to the haircut routine the barbershop, and I showed her

719
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: a video of myself, like I'm like, that is me

720
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: just cut my hair like that.

721
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 5: That is a level of narcissism that I've never encountered.

722
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 5: I mean, showing somebody a picture of yourself and saying,

723
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 5: make me look like that.

724
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I thought that's a pretty good blueprint.

725
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: Is that Is that any worse than showing a picture

726
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 3: of a famous person who clearly I will not look like, No,

727
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: you're good because I always show like when I have

728
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: a good photo with a goo good fade, and I

729
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 3: want them to replicate the same like I share the

730
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 3: same photo.

731
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: So I get you.

732
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: And I said, I don't think it's I didn't like

733
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 3: player my reel or anything. You know, I didn't say,

734
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 3: like me, sit and watch this part I I where

735
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: I interviewed Shatner I just like showed her a photo

736
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 3: from my you know, like selfie, and I was like,

737
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: this is what my hair. I liked my hair. When

738
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: it was like this, can you do that again? She said, yeah,

739
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: sure of course I got that. I like the Shatner

740
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 3: Circle nineteen sixty six. Look, that's that's what I always

741
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: ask for, and they do quite a good job.

742
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 5: Except mine's real. Oh that's true for the time being.

743
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: Are you trying to tell me that you think that

744
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: William Shatner didn't have real hair.

745
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 5: I would never say anything to disparage that god like man.

746
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: Because if he's not blocked you on Twitter yet, you know,

747
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: there's still there's still time.

748
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 5: I love that man, like you love Fritz Coleman.

749
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: I love Fritz. I was so happy to have Fritz.

750
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 3: Fritz is such a good dude, and and I've interviewed

751
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: him a couple of times at KTLA, and I I

752
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: just was like, I wanted to have him come in

753
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 3: when there was a big storm, but he was actually

754
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 3: out of town and and so then I was like, no,

755
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 3: let's come on, let's do.

756
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: This so very good.

757
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 3: We got lots coming up in the next hour. San Francisco.

758
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 3: It may have got me sick? But is it back?

759
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 3: We're getting into why the city feels a little bit

760
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: different even than it did a year ago. Plus, a

761
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: monkey was captured after breaking into a guitar shop. It's

762
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: the kind of local news that you can't look away from.

763
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 3: And after all this time, there's a new Karen in town.

764
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 3: So sorry, I guess all those other Karens can buy

765
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: gold and move to the villages. You can retire. I
