KTLA anchor died of meth overdose. In his 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.

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, 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 forked up.)
 
Few things in life are guaranteed, but I guarantee there are a few ways I definitely won't die
* climbing Mount Everest
* jumping out of a perfectly good airplane
* with a rock of meth shoved up my keester
Skydiving is on my bucket list, but anal meth is not on my...forkit list.
 
I've listened to thousands and thousands of hours of Bruce, and never been inspired to jam a meth rock up my ass.
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.
