KTLA anchor died of meth overdose. In his ass.

First, it was eating Tide Pods. Natural progression would lead to meth in the ass.

 

Okay. A little insight into news anchors. Especially male anchors.

When we have a great newscast, some of us go into a manic but muted state of euphoria.

Which means we are ready to get down. Immediately.

My Laz-e-boy friend knows this. I’m fired up after nailing a newscast. Then I want to nail her. No meth rocks in anyone’s anus.

Similar to people I’ve known who are keynote speakers for large conventions. It’s a high. Like a drug.

If you ever see a speaker that you want to make a memory with, buy them a drink at the bar right after. Heck, they probably have a room one elevator away.

 

You working Freqposter's corners?

 

Nice. I just know within the stress of the job and having to be “on” all the time that it’s common in the business.

In those small markets where it’s almost all 23 year old recent grads, the “long distance relationship” with the reporter’s significant other who lives in another city never lasts. Or it does after running through 2 or 3 other newsroom colleagues.

Worked with a weather guy who, throughout his life, has been engaged to FOUR of his news anchors he worked alongside. Married two of them.

Also why so many of us are boozehounds. When people get off work around 11 or midnight, they still need to come down from the rush. So they go out.

 

So is sticking meth up your ass the new sticking vodka-soaked tampons up your ass? Asking for a friend ...

 

So, I know we're off topic here (and what a topic), but Ex, if hitting a broadcast is something, what's it like to know you did a great job on a breaking news situation? Is it similar, more draining, or still a crazy mania?

 

Can't speak for Ex, but as a producer I can tell you I'm completely wired coming out of a breaking news situation. Can't imagine what it's like for the anchor.

(I don't have that same feeling after a really good show. For a producer it's more like relief than euphoria. I'm mostly hoping nothing gets fucked up.)

 

Really depends on how my current relationship works out for me.

 

Skydiving is on my bucket list, but anal meth is not on my...fuckit list.

 

I have listened to thousands and thousands of hours of Motörhead. I'm counting on one of you to come and neaten things up before the news crew arrives.

 

Had a helluva newscast this morning.

Already clearing out so the meth rocks will fit.
