Speaker 1: Katie, can I see you in my office for just
Speaker 1: a minute. It's one more thing. I'm strung, one more thing.
Speaker 2: Before we get to Katie's story. Yes, Joe, I was
Speaker 2: gonna say, you know, I'll wait, you got something. I'll
Speaker 2: use this as a prelude to Katie's tale of Okay something.
Speaker 3: So yesterday we got on the topic of the fact
Speaker 3: that I take my coat off like a woman. As
Speaker 3: my son said, you take your coat off like a girl. Confirmed.
Speaker 3: I checked with a friend who's known me for twenty
Speaker 3: five years who said, yeah, you do take your coat
Speaker 3: off like a girl. Thought, really, okay, that's interesting. Then
Speaker 3: yesterday took off my coat during the show for Katie.
Speaker 3: She said, you absolutely take your goat. It's the way
Speaker 3: I rolled my shoulders, apparently. So we made a video
Speaker 3: of it and put it up for a vote, and
Speaker 3: we posted on Twitter, and it's running sixty about two thirds. Yes,
Speaker 3: I lack authority and otherwise in other words, I take
Speaker 3: my coat off like a girl, or know about a third.
Speaker 3: So most people seem to agree a lot of comments
Speaker 3: on the video. For instance, Dave, who weighed in he
Speaker 3: may take his coat off like a lady, but he
Speaker 3: takes his pantyhose off like a man. Okay, thank you
Speaker 3: for that. It's the way he puffs out his boobs.
Speaker 3: That's what my son said. It's like you're trying to
Speaker 3: push out your boobs but you don't have any. Okay,
Speaker 3: you're like a Ponzi hairdresser. This person said, Oh, Karen Henriddy,
Speaker 3: who's the insults?
Speaker 2: Huh?
Speaker 3: Karen Henriady a fabulous human being in a long time.
Speaker 3: A friend of the Armstrong and Getty Show said, Michelangelo
Speaker 3: is a national treasurer. That's for Michelangelo's participation in the
Speaker 3: video in which he takes his jacket off like a
Speaker 3: man compared to my taking it off like a girl.
Speaker 3: I went into this wanting to back you, Jack, But
Speaker 3: yet you do huh.
Speaker 1: Big popular vote that your jacket's too small?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it wasn't when I bought it.
Speaker 2: Did you see Jamie's comment, our beloved former newswoman Jamie Coffee,
Speaker 2: I did not, She said, not sure. It's like a girl,
Speaker 2: but definitely more fluid and more flair than Michaelangelow's cave
Speaker 2: man esque disrobing of his coat. So and you do
Speaker 2: you boo boo? She writes, that's a very Jamie thing
Speaker 2: to say. Yeah, so Michael coming in for a little criticism.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why I rolled my shoulders like that.
Speaker 3: It's really made me think a lot about a lot
Speaker 3: of things, giving you a caplex.
Speaker 2: I have been a flaming heterosexual since early in my life.
Speaker 2: I just knew it's girls for me from a very early,
Speaker 2: you know, point in my life, and I have observed
Speaker 2: girlishness and femininity in many, many different pursuits.
Speaker 3: I've never thought about there being.
Speaker 2: A feminine way to take off one's coat.
Speaker 3: Now until people started posting gifts of women taking off
Speaker 3: their coats. And that's the way I take my coat off. Huh, Jack,
Speaker 3: He is an effeminate man who seeks recognition and approval
Speaker 3: from others, especially the opposite sex, for self esteem fulfillment.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, good psychoanalysis.
Speaker 3: That's no charge either. It's the shoulder roll, everybody says,
Speaker 3: so I'll work on it. I guess it's more of
Speaker 3: a shimmy. I don't know what to do about that. Okay,
Speaker 3: So tell us your story, Katie or Joe has a
Speaker 3: prelude to Yes, Joe had something.
Speaker 2: Well, I was just gonna say we, uh, I'm not
Speaker 2: even sure this person's with us anymore. Are our first agent.
Speaker 2: We were not thrilled with the job he did, and
Speaker 2: indeed we asked him to take his leave in favor
Speaker 2: of Eric, the world's greatest agent. On the other hand,
Speaker 2: the one thing that he did that I really appreciated,
Speaker 2: he'd say, guys, call me, it's urgent. It's a good thing. Yes,
Speaker 2: So he would always make it clear, hey, I got
Speaker 2: to see you. Don't worry. Everything's cool, because he knew
Speaker 2: that anybody who gets that summons is.
Speaker 3: Like, holy crap. So, bosses, I've always wondered this, when
Speaker 3: you say I'd like to see in my office at
Speaker 3: one o'clock, do you get a kick out of people
Speaker 3: being scared to death? Or does it or does it
Speaker 3: not occur to you that unless you say it's a
Speaker 3: good thing, everybody's worried they're about to be fired or
Speaker 3: something bad. Every time, not sometimes, not occasionally, every time, bosses,
Speaker 3: you say I need to see in my office, you're
Speaker 3: scared to death. You're losing your job. So if it's
Speaker 3: not bad, and unless you get a kick out of
Speaker 3: them being freaked out, you should say, as our agent
Speaker 3: used to say it's a good thing, yeah, or.
Speaker 2: It's no big deal. We just got to deal with something.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Of course if they were going to sack you and
Speaker 2: row in your life and cast you out into the poverty,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't tell you that, all right, of course, real
Speaker 2: quick here.
Speaker 1: But if you call your agent, he says it's a
Speaker 1: good thing, and he says, guess what, guys, I got
Speaker 1: a new car.
Speaker 3: That doesn't help you.
Speaker 2: I'm watching the video. I hadn't watched the whole video yet.
Speaker 2: I had a crazy busy days. Michael taking his that's
Speaker 2: not cave vanaged. That's a man taking off his coat. Michael,
Speaker 2: I apologize for even report repeating that that idiotic criticism.
Speaker 2: Jack is going to take off his coat. It's uh,
Speaker 2: it's it's PONSI. It's hard to describe why, but it's.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm wondering how I picked that up. Weirdly deliberate,
Speaker 3: that's exactly that's funny. That is really weird. Let me
Speaker 3: read the quote from and this is somebody who hadn't
Speaker 3: seen me take a jacket off in twenty five years.
Speaker 3: And I ask them, I mean, it's just weird that
Speaker 3: they'd have any memory whatsoever. If somebody from who I
Speaker 3: haven't seen take a jacket off in twenty five years
Speaker 3: texted me and said, do I take my jacket off
Speaker 3: in an effeminate way, I would say, what the hell
Speaker 3: are you talking about? What I said? Yeah, you're very
Speaker 3: particular and intentional when removing your jacket, very feminine. They
Speaker 3: use the very word that you used. That's so strange.
Speaker 2: I know it is. This is this is a topic
Speaker 2: I have never spent a single second thinking about. No
Speaker 2: in my many decades on this planet. But you're in
Speaker 2: agreement with two thirds of people. Okay, whatever, you know.
Speaker 2: I've got to admit I was I was tasked with
Speaker 2: having because I bolted after the show yesterday. But I
Speaker 2: was tasked with having Judy videotape me taking my coat off.
Speaker 2: But she was insanely busy yesterday and we never got
Speaker 2: it done. And now I'm a really curious about my
Speaker 2: coat removal style, although nobody's ever mentioned it to me,
Speaker 2: so it's probably more normal. But I'm also totally aware.
Speaker 2: Now I'll be hyper aware I won't be able to
Speaker 2: do it naturally.
Speaker 3: I wonder if I've ever ce blocked myself. If you'll
Speaker 3: part in the expression having met a woman who's kind
Speaker 3: of interested in me, and then I take my coat
Speaker 3: off and it's a deal breaker. It's like, no way
Speaker 3: I could be with that guy.
Speaker 2: And maybe she's not even conscious of why. She's like,
Speaker 2: I'm not a lesbian.
Speaker 3: There's probably a dozen beautiful women out there, Jack that
Speaker 3: this has happened. It was like, I can't be with
Speaker 3: a guy who takes off his jacket like me. They
Speaker 3: thought to themselves.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Anyway back to Katie, this is this is just a
Speaker 1: silly story that I had actually forgotten about until this
Speaker 1: conversation came up. One of my top favorite bosses of
Speaker 1: all time, and I think you know him, Paul Hawsley.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Paul.
Speaker 2: What a good dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love him.
Speaker 1: So I get off the air in San Francisco and
Speaker 1: he comes into the into the studio and he goes, hey, Katie,
Speaker 1: I need to talk to you in my office for
Speaker 1: a second. And he is stone serious, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: oh boy, what did I say?
Speaker 3: What did I do? Whatever?
Speaker 1: So I go into his office and he sits me
Speaker 1: down and he goes, so, so what is going on
Speaker 1: with your car?
Speaker 3: What? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Exactly my reaction. I'm like, what what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: You get out of your car like a dude, and
Speaker 3: it's just weird. Yes, it's off. Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1: And he goes, you're the pictures on your car and
Speaker 1: I'm like, the pictures on my car? The only thing
Speaker 1: I have on my car is a blink one eighty
Speaker 1: two sticker on my window. And he goes, Okay, let's
Speaker 1: let's go to the garage.
Speaker 2: So in the license plate.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we walked down to the garage and we
Speaker 1: go to the back of my car, which is parked
Speaker 1: right next to the elevator, and at this time it
Speaker 1: shows so this is like ten thirty in the morning, Okay,
Speaker 1: all over the back of my car, below the windshield
Speaker 1: or below the windshield so I couldn't see it, are
Speaker 1: triple X porn photos ripped out.
Speaker 3: Of the magazine.
Speaker 1: Oh like like oh there taped to the back of
Speaker 1: my car like Blowey's and Handy's and and we know
Speaker 1: what sex is, ask play. I mean, oh boy, hans yep, sorry, Hanson's.
Speaker 1: It went all the way up to just about as
Speaker 1: triple X as you can get. And mortified, I'm I
Speaker 1: looked at him on like Paul, I have keep in mind,
Speaker 1: my drive to San Francisco was about thirty five minutes.
Speaker 1: So I drove from home over the bridge into San
Speaker 1: Francisco with this.
Speaker 3: On the back of my car. Oh okay.
Speaker 1: So I go into my text messages because I hadn't
Speaker 1: checked the people used to text message me at ungodly hours,
Speaker 1: and I see a text from one of my friends
Speaker 1: that says, hope you have a good work morning. And
Speaker 1: I knew I from this the second I saw it
Speaker 1: and went this, dick, it was him. He came home,
Speaker 1: he walked to my house and he taped these things
Speaker 1: to the back of my car. So Paul and I
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a laugh about it. We
Speaker 1: go back up into his office and Paul goes, hey,
Speaker 1: let's call your friend. I'm like, okay, So I call him.
Speaker 1: I call him and I start, you know, fake crying.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Ryan, dude, my boss, really, my boss would
Speaker 1: like to talk to you.
Speaker 3: Really. Oh my god, this is the appropriate vengeance. This ismfortable,
Speaker 3: this is justice.
Speaker 1: So Paul has him on speaker phone and he goes, Hi, Ryan,
Speaker 1: this is this is Katie's program director here in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to discuss the images that you
Speaker 1: put on the back of her car. We actually have
Speaker 1: security from the building here as well, and you can
Speaker 1: hear Ryan going no, no, no, and then Paul start busting
Speaker 1: up laughing. But anyway, that that's pretty good. The reason
Speaker 1: this story came up is because we were talking about
Speaker 1: the weirdest reasons we've ever been called into our boss's office,
Speaker 1: and my brain went, oh, my god, that happened.
Speaker 3: Oh that is that is a good way to get
Speaker 3: back at somebody though. That's good.
Speaker 1: God, Oh it was mortifying.
Speaker 2: Anyway, if you are doing this job and you get
Speaker 2: called into the boss's office and you're not fast forwarding
Speaker 2: through everything you said in your head, you're not doing
Speaker 2: the job right.
Speaker 3: Right. It was a short walk to Paul's office.
Speaker 1: But I'm going, Okay, what did I I did this
Speaker 1: news story a common I'm like, I had no idea
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, we've like had serious stressful
Speaker 2: issues with people completely freaked out and pissed off some
Speaker 2: of them performatively about things we've said. And I'd say
Speaker 2: two of the three I never saw it coming.
Speaker 3: No, I was gonna say every time I've gotten in
Speaker 3: trouble for saying something. It's like something I didn't even remember.
Speaker 3: I say edgy things sometimes and they go, oh boy,
Speaker 3: that might get me in trouble. That's not the one.
Speaker 3: It's the thing I didn't even think of for some
Speaker 3: reason that usually ends up with the TV cameras outside
Speaker 3: the radio station.
Speaker 2: And then there is I need to come up with
Speaker 2: a name for it. It's like my white whale. It's
Speaker 2: the one thing I said once that I thought, that's it.
Speaker 2: I've been in my career. I shouldn't have said that. Whoops,
Speaker 2: And I was.
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 2: I was virtually certain it would be devastating and nothing
Speaker 2: ever came of it. And you can ply me with booze.
Speaker 2: You can put me on the rack, give my boy,
Speaker 2: you can, or a handy or the other thing. Well,
Speaker 2: the other thing might get me. I don't know. Try it,
Speaker 2: but I gotta go to church. I need to get
Speaker 2: to go to church and have my ears washed out.
Speaker 2: And I will never admit it. I will never repeat it.
Speaker 2: It will not be repeated.
Speaker 3: Had one time we angered the Asians, and every TV
Speaker 3: station sent their Asian girl reporter to the radio station too,
Speaker 3: and that was.
Speaker 2: The funny part of it. And we've seen that sort
Speaker 2: of thing. If you say something insensitive about like affirmative
Speaker 2: action for black people or something like that, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden you find out every every station in town
Speaker 2: happens to have a black reporter too. Wow, and they're
Speaker 2: reporting on this story. It's hilarious once you become aware
Speaker 2: of it. It's it's like a hundred percent Italian Americans
Speaker 2: are angered at the cancelation of the parade.
Speaker 3: We go to Luigi Praconi for a report. Come on, well,
Speaker 3: I guess that's it.
