I bet those guys in the booth with the headphones on were p.o’d.

The way they reacted I figured Rush Limbaugh was walking on the set.

That was great! LOL
As soon as the ducks game is done, I’m going to bed.
At least its good to end the day with a smile.

And yet again, for no discernible reason, the media folks believe they are the news, instead of reporters of the news. It was funny, though, for the first few seconds.

Ah, channel 10 Sacramento. I thought it looked familar.
/watch channel 3 myself, when I watch, which isn’t often.

It would have been more fun if the guy would’ve screamed like a girl too.

I feel sorry for the sound tech , those screams couldn’t have been easy to keep out of the red top end .

That was cute. Sacramento, really? I thought the women sounded like they were from Wisconsin.

Michael Yon and the news talkers are separate species entirely.

She on the far left folded like a lawn chair.

Comedy gold, Jerry!

Hehn. They prob’ly didn’t need those frequencies anymore anyway.
At least the red lights are pretty.
Kinda Christmasy when added to the green ones.
I bet the threshold is lower, and the ratio is higher on the compressor/limiter now.

At least none of them swore or peed themselves.

That clip lasted 2 minutes too long. I kept waiting to see if the good part was yet to come.

Nah! That’s definitely an Ann Coulter level of screaming. That or Bill Clinton waking up and realizing he got so drunk he actually took his wife to bed with him!

It’s interesting that the first words out of your mouth (even if you are part of the MSM) when faced with fear or trouble is “Oh My God”.

I wonder how many people other then me got that reference
LordDaMan on October 29, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Everything interesting happens in the first 15 seconds. The remaining 2:15 is nothing more than news team self-regard.
