Speaker 1 (00:00):
From Hollywood to you.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Thank you for listening to us. Ryan Air on Air
with a Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
It is Ryan Seacrest and Tanya. Yeah, Sisney still has
that virus. It's really been something that even when we
were texting her over the weekend, I kept thinking she
was going to be like, oh, no, I'm I'm I'm
feeling much better. But she was like, slowly but surely
the sentiment wasn't.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
She Yeah, I mean, I think the worst is over
for her, that's the good news. But it's she just
feels very, very weak from it.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It was one of those things that I guess we
kind of thought it might be just a twenty four
hour bug, but this is We don't have the diagnosis
of what it is yet.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
But when she told me what, she told me what
it was. But I'll let her, I'll let her share.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
She said it, but we can't pronounce it. Yeah, it's
too hard for us to pronounce. But we were on texts,
all of us over the weekend and we were talking
and we actually Tony and I saw each other over
the weekend because it was a very difficult weekend for us.
When we think about people that we've known for a
long time, that have become family through just working here
in Los Angeles, that have become friends of ours and

(01:09):
family members of ours. And that is the news that
broke on Friday afternoon that KTLAS Sam Rubin had died.
And Sam, I know you've seen the continuous coverage on
KTLA and the tributes to Sam Rubin on KTLA all
of Friday afternoon and over the weekend too. It just

(01:29):
was one of those things that shocked all of us.
I was in my car shocking, just as a guy.
Sam Rubin's a guy that I've known forever. When I
was twenty something, I'm really young, mid twenties.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, you're like twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I'm maybe been twenty four with my bleached blonde hair.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
And he went on vacation and I was just starting
out in radio in Los Angeles and doing a little
bit of television, but nothing live on TV and nothing
in the world of news or entertainment news. And he
went on vacation and he asked me, because it was
on the radio here, to fill in for him when
he was on vacation. And I was super excited and honored.

(02:10):
And that's really when we began to form a pretty
close friendship because he kind of tapped me. He chose
picked me to do it, he said, and said, you
do the entertainment stuff on vacation. But the news came
on Friday and I was in my car. It was

(02:31):
what midday. I was in my car and Amy Sugarman call.
Now Amy has worked also with me for twenty plus years.
I worked with her before I brought her to iHeart
and Kiss, and she also produces the segments and books
the guests for Sam Rubin.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Sam Rbins every single day, right, they talked every single day.
They're very very close.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
And she called and my phone was ringing, and rarely
does she call. It sent the text normally, but the
phone was ringing. It said Amy Sugarman, and I said hello,
and she said, I want you to hear this from me.
First in my heart dropped. I just didn't know what
was coming. Yeah, and she said Sam Rubin has died.

(03:18):
And I think, like all of us, we were in disbelief.
I said, I repeated, I said Sam Ruben has died.
Because I didn't it didn't calculate. I couldn't process it.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I couldn't process it either. I completely agree with you.
It was the most shocking news. And like you said,
he you know, over the weekend, I just saw so
many people posting stories and photos and videos from their
experience with him and just saying how much joy and
love and light he brought every single morning. And he

(03:51):
really is this this comfort, this safety net of the city,
you know, like you just find I find comfort seeing
him on the TV all the time ever morning, and
like you know, he's there, He's on our TV screens
when we're in the studio, and it's just really really
really shocking and hard.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
To really also just saw him when so just thinking
about this. Yeah, And we did our Ryan's Riding tour
of Los Angeles on that day.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
There's a Thursday right on that day.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
We started in Orange County at Children's Hospital and then
the next stop right after Children's Hospital, the next stop
was disney Land and we talked to Sam Rubin. All
three of Assisany, myself, Tanya, we all did an interview
with Sam Rubin what stands out about them? And that's
why this is so unbelievable because not ten days ago

(04:41):
from the news, we were with him and I was
talking to him off camera about his kids and his
family and it's got young kids. He got kids that
are growing up, and we actually talked about looking forward
into the future and the things that he wants to do.
And then this, did you remember that conversation we had
with him?

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I remember it like I remember every conversation that I've
had with him. He's just was so full of life
and love and it's really really heartbreaking. My heart breaks
for his family, and.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
I think the beautiful of that. It's just beyond thinking
about those kids. I think the beautiful things that And
we'll get into this this morning, just sort of reflecting
the beautiful things that we heard about him, the people's
lives that he touched, different celebrities, local personalities.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I heard Big Boy, you know, he.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Called in to talk about his memories of Sam at
Lisa Fox, my former co host at what is now
Alt ninety eight seven, called in.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I wanted to call in and share my story.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
I heard you call in because he had such a
funny personality. He had such a sam He had samisms,
he had Samism.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
He was very unique, very very unique.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
And he would just he would wind you up in
a funny, charming way and then ask you a question
that you sometimes would laugh at the question because it
wasn't a funny question. It was like the right question,
and he somehow got to ask it to you.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, exactly, you're Solry.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Sam Rubin from KTLA died on Friday.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I know we're going to talk with one of his colleagues,
Eric Spillman, who was there at the beginning when I
filled in. Eric Spilman was there, Carlos Simsca was there.
There was Mark Chrisky was there. Sort of the original
k t L in morning it is. It's not all
there now, but Eric was there. He's gonna be on
with this a little bit later this morning. But we
celebrate what Sam Rubin did, and I know that he

(06:35):
would love and he's loving seeing all of the recognition
and the love that he has inspired and the stories
being told about how he was a legend.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, you're so right. And you know, I saw a
friend of mine posted I wish that he could see
all the love and the outpouring that he's been getting.
And I truly believe that he's seeing all of it right.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Now, watching it from above. And Sam, big hugs to you,
We love you. Ay.

it on Mondays, we do it on Thursdays. This one
she found a list of phone numbers hidden in her
husband's phone. She checked and one of which he calls
almost daily, is the problem. So she thinks that at

(07:23):
the other end of that one, there's a real issue,
and that's why we're going to get into Ryan's roses.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:15):
I got cheated on with my kind of like my
first love. I know, it was like really traumatic.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
So just you know her first love, not the guy
from Arizona or the guy.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
The one before him. Was this like in high school
or like college or like what was it? It was
my end of high school into college. We were at
different colleges. So then he cheated at his college and
they found out.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
But then the next guy who didn't cheat, he was
the love of her life. And let me tell you,
that's when I learned how to be a good not
boyfriend boyfriend to So it just broke up with a boyfriend,
you know what I mean, like a good friend. You
see what I'm saying, like a friend. A sister, Yeah,
that's it. I had to be a sister. That was
my first class and sister ing.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Honestly, that was such a wild ride. I would come
into work every every single day, so miss ism is
and sobbing mind you Like I would just sit in
my little spot and like nobody would like make me
feel bad about it. I would just constantly be crying.
And it was probably a month.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I think, there's where's Nick? Where's Nick? Bringing? Bringing Nick
second man? It's a lot of work. I know it
lasted for.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
About a month of just crying every day at work?
How long were you dating this guy? For three and
a half years? Oh and only a month? I would
have been crying for six months? Well, no, I was
still upset and going through that. I remember a roller
coaster emotions that I started dating everybody and kind of doing.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
My thing around to cry on this show and a worked.
Oh I cry all the most lots.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
So let me bring in the only person that can
answer this question, because he's been here as long as
I have been or longer, is Nick Thestudo.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Nick.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Hello, do you remember when I first started on a
kiss and the first relationship that you knew me through?
We had her on the air at the beginning, and
then I broke up with her. I think didn't I
cry on those shows? I want to say maybe a
year after we started. Yeah, so this is probably twenty

(10:12):
was nineteen years ago and I broke up with the
woman I was seen at the time, and I could
not do the show.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
So I just cried on the show. You know, well
don't Nick, don't have to say anything.

Speaker 7 (10:26):
Tried to block that one out.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
So emotional because.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I was twenty something years old. I didn't know how
to handle it.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
And not even that, like your job is so like
you're giving yourself and sometimes when you don't have anything
to give, how do you do that?

Speaker 3 (10:42):
When I didn't do it, I didn't do it well
I didn't. I mean, Nicol Prie advtates. So we're not
going to talk about it on the air.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I guess that good vulnerability.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
But they were like I remember, they're like, oh my gosh,
who's this guy that took over for Rick? This is
not going to go well, you pay your bills.

Speaker 7 (10:57):
Yeah, it feels free to play a hit, you know, said.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Moving along, But like, is that.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
When you learned, like did you have to learn how
to compartmentalize? Because that's I think what it comes down to.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
I was twenty six. I think I had to learn
how to be an adult.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Yeah right, I mean you just want to go for
you so far you're in your twenties, Calle, I'm tony
twenties when that relationship happened too, right, Yeah, yeah, you
were in your twenties at one point as well.

Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yes, you know that's in the in the last century somewhere.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
I think it was.

Speaker 7 (11:35):
Andy Griffith was a new show at the time.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Our kids look it up the Google.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Yah, look at it, looking at it.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Oh, never a dull moment.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Let's come, let's come right into this tunny think you've
got what's happening overnight and what we missed?

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Right?

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
What do you have for us?

Speaker 8 (11:51):
Well?

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Tributes continue to pour in for KTLA's Sam Ruben, who
passed away on Friday. This morning, k t l A
viewers are in to the Apple Pan in Westwood to
share stories and memories of Sam. A strong geometric storm
brought the northern lights to southern California this weekend, as
the sky's turned purple, pink, green, and yellow. The solar

(12:14):
storm is the largest to hit the US in over
two decades, and Travis Kelcey was in Paris to see Taylor.
It was her eighty seventh show on the Era's tour.
Travis's jersey number is eighty seven. Travis will reportedly travel
with Taylor for most of May, and that is what
happened overnight.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
It's quite a weekend this weekend after learning that Sam
Rubin from Channel five KTLA died on Friday from a
heart attack.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
They're reporting it.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Really it struck me because we'd known him so long,
We've known him so well, he's got so much energy.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
We were just with him on Yeah, he was just
on KTLA the day before that was that.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
I mean, it does make you say, while life is precious, wow,
why am I putting stuff off? I mean I even
thought about them. I'm I'm like thinking, oh, I'm going
to wait ten years to do that because I'm busy. Yep,
I don't know. It does make you rethink things, and
certainly with it being a special weekend for mothers too,
you know, you'd these things. You appreciate the time you've

(13:14):
got with the people that you love and who are
close to you. But what I couldn't get over was
the suddenness, and was the fact that.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
We weren't just with the guy.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
We were just with him down at Disneyland on our
twentieth anniversary tour, and we had him on many times
on this show, but he had us on his show then,
and it was siciny, who's out sick today? And it
was Tanya, and it was myself, and there he was,
and he was even joking about how we got there

(13:48):
right at the end, because we went from Chalk to
Disneyland and we got there, I think, right as he
was wrapping up his broadcast, and he was kind of
making a joke that we timed it so we'd be
right at the end and make him wait a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Always had that sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
And here is part of that conversation that we just
had less than two weeks ago. Look who's here? I mean,
this is it. I saw you, I saw your purple jacket,
and I was drawn towards it, your grape jacket. So
this is the we're celebrating the radio shit at the
radio show. So twenty years. Can you believe that? Of
on Airthrine Secres? My obviously my career I owe to you.
It started here locally at KTLA Channel five.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
But here's the thing. Did you ever imagine? And we'll
start with the afternoon show at starting ninet eight point seven,
then migrating to the Kiss Show, and then it just
blows up in the most wonderful way.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
That was just a few days ago.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
That energy is what people kept saying and celebrating and
talking about. He had a uniqueness about him and he
had lived everything. There was no script, there was no copy,
there were no notes. And what I would he would
make me laugh, What are you gonna wound up like this?

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
That is the exact energy that he had and.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Tanya, remember he say. And then Tanya, what do you say?
Would you say?

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Would you say that Ryan is happier when you're around?
Did he do things like that? Yeah, when you say,
you know, he did do that false set of sort
of wind up.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Which always made me laugh.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
But he had that energy about him, and he actually
he brought up being Tanya's former matchmaker.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
He loved the credit. He loved it, and he deserves.

Speaker 9 (15:20):
Cistny's love life always stable Tanya. As you recall, I
fixed up Tanya once brilliantly, and once brilliantly.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
She's still with the same guy, no different guys and
brilliant Well it.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Was okay, how is the love life now the best
it's ever been? But I will say your matchmaking abilities were.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So part part. No, that was him.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, remember he said to me, you know who's going
to replace Katie parroent American idol. I said, we haven't decided.
Do you have any good ideas? He said, I have
the best idea, and it would be me. I knew that,
and he asked about fortune. We were just with him too.

Speaker 9 (16:01):
Listen, here's what my spies tell me. My spies tell
me that even though the wheel thing starts in the fall,
Ryan in the offices now of wheel practicing.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Correct your spies, are you have good sources? It's good?
Oh yeah, this I'm taking this very seriously. It's a
big deal.

Speaker 9 (16:17):
Are you gonna do some practice shows or you just
want to get in.

Speaker 10 (16:20):
And do it?

Speaker 4 (16:20):
No, no, no, I will do practice shows.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
We should be practice guests. You want to come practice
guests for no cash and prize? Absolutely, which for no
cash and prize for fun? All right, that's the voice
for fun. Yeah, that's fun.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Vintage Sam that we celebrate who will be so missed,
and we just loved him on our TVs. And like
you said, when you have a routine and you see
somebody every morning, or you listen to somebody every morning
and they're not there, it's weird. It doesn't feel like
things are okay or right, and they will not feel
that way for a long time.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's exactly like it's his family that it's not. They're
not like your actual family, but you feel like they
are your family because you see them every single day, you.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Do feel like you know them. And on a show
like that in the morning show, they get a chance
to talk. I mean, his kids grew up on the show.
I remember seeing his kids on the show over the
years as they grew up. They do little bits and things.
On the KTLA Morning News, first, Tani is in for Sisney,
who is out sick.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
With the headlines this morning, Tanya Well.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Tributes to Sam Rubin continue to flood in from across
America and the world. This morning, KTLA viewers are invited
to the Apple Pan in Westwood to share stories and
memories of Sam. After more than a week of remote learning,
UCLA returned to regular operations over the weekend. While classes
are reopening, officials say any serious disruptions to campus operations

(17:41):
may change this. A federal judge temporarily halted the Biden
administration's plan to lower credit card late fees to eight dollars.
The plan was set to go into effect this week.
The MTV Movie and TV Awards will not be happening
this year. MTV says the ceremony will return next year
year with a reimagined format and Saturday Night live. Well

(18:04):
mark it's fiftieth anniversary next February with a weekend long
celebration ending with a live three hour primetime special on
air with Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
We are going to get to a lot of different
moving parts, and we got a lot of business to
take care of this morning, as it is a Monday.
But I just it feels so strange to be here
in Los Angeles and we put Channel five KTLA, Channel five.
You know, we learned that horrible, tragic, devastating news that
Sam Rubin died, the entertainment reporter. But it's like he

(18:37):
was more than a reporter. He was he was a
statement of the legend. He was a unicorn in so
many ways, and he's been on for longer than we've
been on here, and we celebrated our twenty years the
other day.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
But it's so strange to have on KTLA and not
see his segments.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
You know, he would fly in for his fly in,
but meaning like he would rush himself in for the
segments at the last second, and we would turn down
the songs in here. We turned on the music in
here to hear what he had to say because he
wanted to listen. Joining us now from the KTLA Morning News.
He's been there a long time. He worked with Sam
for a lot of years. Is Eric Spilman. Eric, thanks

(19:13):
for coming out with us this morning.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
I watched a lot of you and your colleagues over
the weekend reflecting on Sam Rubin.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
I'm sure it doesn't even seem real still today for you.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
It is such a shock.

Speaker 11 (19:30):
I mean, he and I were working together last week.
He seemed fine, full of energy, joking, just like always.
It's amazing to me that he's gone.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Do you know, Eric, I think a lot of people
in Los Angeles loved in a way with such heart
the celebration and the stories that were told about Sam
Rubin over the weekend. I mean, you guys just cut
everything out and you sat there and you talked about
what you were feeling. And I think many of us,
myself included, I found myself laughing at some of these

(20:03):
stories and then immediately a tear, yeah, would roll down
my cheek.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (20:09):
He was such a unique person, unique character and an
amazing broadcaster. I mean, there's nobody who'll ever be as
great of an entertainment reporter as he was. The way
that he conducted himself on the red carpet when during
award shows, when people were coming by celebrities, the way
that he knew so much about each and every one

(20:30):
of them, what projects they were working on, the names
of their spouses. I mean, he had an incredible encyclopedic
attention to detail. And they appreciated that everybody was famous
like to talk to Sam because they knew he would
treat everybody, even people that maybe you didn't hear about
and that weren't so famous, with respect and on the

(20:51):
show he was just when he stepped onto that stage
in the morning to do his reports, the energy level
just went up so much. I mean, you you felt
the show had been juiced when he showed up, because
there was humor, and he reacted to anything that could

(21:13):
happen live well and with flair and with creativity, and
it was just it's just it's a terrible loss.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
Eric Spilman with us from KTLA Channel five, who was
there from the beginning.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
You remember when Sam was the new guy, right.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (21:30):
I was actually hired before Sam in nineteen ninety one,
so this is almost thirty three years ago to the day.
And we started our show and for the first six
months nobody was watching. I mean literally, there were more
people in the control room than were watching in the audience.
And we had to try something else and Sam was

(21:51):
watching as a viewer, and he called our producer and said, look,
you know, I can help you.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I know what the problem is there.

Speaker 11 (21:59):
It was a very fewerious show, a hard news show,
and it wasn't working. It wasn't catching on. We were
worried we're all going to be fired. And he started
coming in maybe twice a week, and it didn't take
very long for the managers to understand that he needed
to be hired full time. And then it just went
on from there.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
You know, Eric, when you say when you say, he
said I can help you, I And it's such a
charming signature of Sam, his cadence, his voice, his falsetto
the way he winds his voice up. I could hear
him say in his way, I can tell you what
the problem is. You know how what that energy that.

Speaker 11 (22:36):
He's got, well, I mean he was never at a
loss for self confidence.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
He believed.

Speaker 11 (22:43):
He believed in himself quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
But I want to say something. I mean, the reason
why he.

Speaker 11 (22:49):
Had that kind of confidence is because he could do
so many things so well.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
I mean, yeah, I.

Speaker 11 (22:57):
Was watching a YouTube tape of a of when he
appeared on the twenty five thousand dollars Pyramid in nineteen
eighty three. It's online, you can watch it, and he's
paired up with I think the actress Lynn Redgraves. And
he was an amazing game show contestant. He was really smart.
He came up with a lot of answers. I mean
he was really and he was like eighteen years old

(23:18):
at the time, and he was just so so clever
and just had a flare for anything he did involving broadcasting.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
He could have been the best.

Speaker 11 (23:30):
I mean, I think he could have been a great sportscaster.
You know, there wasn't anything he couldn't do when it
came to broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Well, and I said earlier a tony, now we're talking
about this, I said that I was so nervous when
he went out of town twenty seven thirty years whatever
it was, when he went out of town on vacation
and KTLA, and he invited.

Speaker 11 (23:50):
Me to come in.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
You were there.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I remember seeing you in person and seeing you out
in the field, and I was so I was terrified
to sit in that seat in the newsroom for the
first life hit and then come on to this set.
I mean, I was so scared.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
And he made it.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
He made it look so easy, and he didn't have
to prepare like I mean, he would prepare, but he
didn't have to. He knew everything, had this encyclopedic memory
of things, and he could just fly by the seat
of his pants with the right questions. Whereas many of
us have to really work hard at it, he just
did it seamlessly.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Me included.

Speaker 11 (24:27):
I mean when I first saw him and the others
who were there at the beginning, I'm like, I'll never
be able to compete with these people. He was born
to do what he did. I mean, he came out
of the womb ready to be a great entertainment reporter.
And I have to say, I mean he was. He
was so happy to help you, and he helped so
many others with their careers, and he was rooting for

(24:49):
you the whole way. And he used to talk about
KTLA Morning News being the stairway to start them, and
there were a lot of careers that were launched. And
then he would say after that and looked at up,
we're still here. Every Christie would shake our heads. But
it's been a great place to be. And that's the
sad thing is, you know, it's just not going to

(25:10):
be the same without him.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Well, we're grateful for the time that we had with him.
He will never be forgotten. We're grateful for the camaraderie
that you and the team provide.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Really, it's what you do.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
You do give us the news, but there's a there's
a friendship, there's a companionship that's developed for people that
never met you, and that's a magical thing. So Eric
big Huggs, do you please say a lot to everybody
there and good luck with each day that goes by.

Speaker 11 (25:34):
All Right, thank you so much, really appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Take care, buddy, Bye bye.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
All right.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Eric's filman there KTLA Morning News.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
He was hired, says here started the program in July
nineteen ninety one when the show debuted. So she found
a list of phone numbers in her husband's app notes
app and she checked his call log in one of
those he calls almost every day.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
What's in your notes? Interesting? So that's coming up in
just a second.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Mikayla is in for Sisney this hour, rotating someone different
from the back room every hour. Michaela's a big hour
because we have Ryan's roses. We do You've done this before?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
I have, yeah, because they were starting to recognize Sistney's voice.
Maybe they don't recognize mine as much.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Not yet, not yet?

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Uh okay, So oh, before we go any further, did
you go to the wedding with that guy un hinge
that we keep asking about her to remember?

Speaker 6 (26:26):
He didn't answer me, So what's what do we?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Are you moving past him now?

Speaker 6 (26:30):
I am?

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Yeah, I mean I'm still on the dating apps. But
the problem is Ryan, these people men do not respond
or we will like try to make a plan and
then nothing happens.

Speaker 6 (26:41):
And I'm not going to choose them laziness.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
What maybe are we picking the wrong picking the wrong guys?

Speaker 1 (26:49):
You have to move on if they don't respond, it's
like okay, bye, thank you.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
Next one guy was like do you want to go out?

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Like that was it?

Speaker 6 (26:54):
And I was like sure, Like where do you live?
And he was like, oh, here, and I was like, oh,
I live here.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
She don't know the guys, right, these are guys you
meet that are random.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Yes, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
So if anyone knows anyone, Tania, anyone.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Let's not get desperate. Not desperate is.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
First of all. I call in the one, thank you
very much, and it worked for me. And I gave
Mikayla the book. I said, let's go call in the one.
And she has not done her homework.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I will say, I will say yes.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
I mean, considering everybody here, I would not turn to
Mark myself or Tubs for any of this. I would
definitely go to Tanya. The workbook did work for her,
and she's in a very successful relationship.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'm going to start it over. I told her this,
but you know, it's just a lot, so I have
to really like, I know it's a lot.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
But what's more important to you than than digging deep
and looking inside yourself and finding out what you want
and a life partner? Maybe take less seriously, less seriously,
this is the biggest decision of your life.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Do you want a life partner right now? Ran?

Speaker 6 (28:07):
I'm thirty, I'm kidding me, young, you are.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
I don't know what anybody's back there to me. You're
all the back room with no age.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Jeez, the biggest decision of your life their partner.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Are you panicking?

Speaker 6 (28:26):
I am, yeah, my friend.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
My friend's having her second baby right now, when my
other friends is pregnant.

Speaker 6 (28:31):
Even though I'm on my own packy man, there's no take.
Turning thirty was big for me, so I.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Was like, I know, but we all did it, and
it was It's fine. And Tanya will tell you what
my mom will tell you.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
You can't hurry love, No, you just have to wait.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
And if you want next hour, will call her and
she'll say, we're all here for you. Everybody's here for everybody.
And that's what we love about this show. It's like
having a little family that you can put down at ten.
All right, let's come back.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
We never got to the trending report.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
I got so sidetracked on trying to help find a
soulmate here. How can I keep focused?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Well, we can't do it now, not enough time. We
have to do later. Mar something happened, Okay, So we
Swifties were shook when we realized that the tortured poet's
Apartment was mostly about Matti Heally because most we were
thinking that it was going to be a Joe Allwin
breakup album, but it was really about Matti Heally. Yes,
Mattie has stayed mostly away from responding to all the noise.

(29:39):
But his mom, so she is a TV personality for
like the UK's version of the Talk, and she was
scrolling through Instagram. She saw this Instagram video which is
about Taylor's music, and his mom liked the video. But
the guy was basically calling Taylor swift out like he
was making poking fun that she only talks about heartbreak
and her exes. So it's kind of like a jabby

(30:00):
social media posts that she liked. And so I guarantee
that his mom was probably just scrolling through thought it
was funny.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Double tap.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Did not realize that it was gonna make the headlines
that it did, I know, And so I was thinking
about you, Ryan, and I was like, does Connie have Instagram?
And how she ever liked something accidentally that she shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
I don't does my mom have Instagram?

Speaker 1 (30:22):
I haven't seen her on there, but I'm sure she does.
Maybe she's on it, but she just watches you.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
I think she's on it to look for my sister
right right right the foundation and but she's not postation
right or like double tick.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
We're safe there.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's time before Ryan's Roses this morning on one A
two point seven Kiss FM, Dear Ryan in Ciciny and Tanya.
I found a list of phone numbers in the notes
app of my husband's phone, so I checked his log
and one of them he calls almost every single day.
So this from Rose Murray and Riverside. Rose Murray, thank
you for coming on for Ryan's rose is you know

(31:00):
our goal here is to try and find out if
there's another woman he's reaching out to somebody he shouldn't be.
I mean, that's kind of what we're gonna do. But
just a little background so we're clear on the facts.
You went into his phone and what did you find.

Speaker 12 (31:16):
Well, I wasn't snooping, I swear, I mean I just
knew like he had our Hilton Honors number in his
notes app and I needed that, and his phone is
in the garage he was dealing with trash and I
was just scrolling like I was trying to get that number,
and I saw this shows I want to watch, like
he had these notes and so like, I'm up in

(31:37):
the middle of the night most nights with our baby,
and I feel like I've watched everything. So I was like, oh,
I'll check this list. But the list wasn't shows. It
was four numbers, four phone numbers, and it's weird, and
I'm like, what what is this? I check his callogue.
One of these numbers gets called a lot, like almost
every day, and they talked for a long time, and

(32:00):
I just it seemed so strange to me.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I don't know, I understand, but why are there other
voids in your relationship? Do you have other doubts? Are
there other things happening that well bring you to this?

Speaker 12 (32:17):
He's just never home anymore. He's been hanging out with
his friend Chris a lot lately. That's new and now
I'm just questioning, like whether or not that's real. Like
they go to this bar a few times a week.
It started a few months ago, but like, we have
a new baby, right, and I know that that's a
lot for him. So I've just been trying to give
him his freedom a little bit.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
And think about that a bar a few times a week,
that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Well, And it's a lot for you too. A new
baby is a lot for you too.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
And so I don't yeah that for him not to
have the.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Intuition or the thoughtfulness to be around for this, forget
the cheating, that's just just it's not nice.

Speaker 12 (32:58):
Yeah, you know, I just don't know what this number
is and who this is?

Speaker 4 (33:02):
All right?

Speaker 12 (33:02):
And I called it and no one answers. It's just
a voicemail. So I don't know what, you know. I
don't like, I mean, I don't like having a baby
like this is our second. So we've been down this
road before. And I remember when our daughter was born
she's three now, he had like this period of like

(33:23):
whoa kind of you know, but we've been parents for
three years, so it's not you know, but just I mean,
we are son. He doesn't he just doesn't sleep. He
doesn't sleep, and he's he's a lot.

Speaker 13 (33:35):
So I'm just trying to give him a break.

Speaker 12 (33:37):
I don't know, but it's just the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
So Sistan, he's out today, sick. Mikayla is going to
fill in for her on Ryan's Roses and Mikayla from
the back room. She's done up before, so she's got
this down. Rosemary is married and they have a second baby,
and he's just not hanging He's not there, he's not
hanging around to help. He's going out to meet his
buddy Chris at a bar, or is he? And she
found a phone number that he keeps. She saw the

(34:01):
call loge, she saw the notes in his phone, and
there's a phone number.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Sasn't it?

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Who's on the other end? She tried it, but she
can't get ready to pick up. There's a voicemail there,
So she is. Here's what she's thinking, Why are you
not here? We have a second child to help support
me and us. Why are you at a bar with
a guy named Chris? Are you lying about that? And
why are you calling this phone number all the time?
It seems sketch. So that's where we are, Rosemary. I

(34:27):
need you to say, Ryan, you have my permission, and
then to call your husband.

Speaker 12 (34:30):
Go ahead, his name, Okay, Ryan, you have my permission
to call it.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
We're gonna do it right now.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
Be very very quiet, all right, So we see who
he sends these roses to. I know you don't know
whose phone number that is, but we might get a
name here and that might be the phone number. I
don't know, so that's what we got to be very quiet.
I do too, I can't. I have to be quiet
as well, trying to get as much information as we can.
Michael is going to make the call. Good luck, Rosemary.

(35:01):
Here we go calling your husband. Now Ryan's roses?

Speaker 4 (35:18):

eighteen months, but yeah, we just wanted to know.

Speaker 6 (36:15):
Nope, they are completely free.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
You, Nolan.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Your voice is being broadcast on the radio. I've got
your wife here, Rose Marie.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
I am was maye. Would you like to say Hi, Hi, hello,
and we're calling it. I just am curious. You have
a second baby, Nolan?

Speaker 4 (37:01):
Is that true?

Speaker 2 (37:01):
A second child?

Speaker 4 (37:03):
Yeah, we're recently we recently had another baby.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
And how is it going to two of you together
helping with the baby.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
It's it's okay. I tried my best.

Speaker 8 (37:18):
It's it's pretty stressful, to be honest, and I was
I was probably not having like the best behavior and
dealing with.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
All this stuff. I have work, I have the babies,
I have my wife, you.

Speaker 11 (37:33):
Know, and I.

Speaker 14 (37:35):
Needed to, I needed to, you know, do some things
that I'm not like too comfortable with, and so I
recently had to deal with that problem.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
It's kind of a personal thing, but I understand.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
I understand. Rosmie.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Do you want to respond to what Nolan's saying, because
the reason we're calling is because she feels avoid and
you not being there.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
And frankly, Nolan, she's concerned you might be with an woman.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Oh I oh no, no, Well are you?

Speaker 12 (38:06):
Are you actually hanging out with Chris at the bar
when you keep going out to the bar?

Speaker 9 (38:13):
No?

Speaker 4 (38:13):
No, I'm not, I'm not. I don't. This is hard.

Speaker 12 (38:16):
Who are you calling?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
So, Nolan, I hear you saying you're not with Chris.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
You're dealing with a personal issue and let's you deal
with that and we you don't need to put that
on the air. We understand, but I think Rosbie should
talk to Nolan off the air. And Nolan, you're not
seeing another woman? Correct, this is something you're dealing with,
something on your own.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Right, Okay, I'm not cheating?

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yes, right then, Rossemie, I do I can hear the
sound in his voice. I do believe that maybe he's
struggling with something. Now, why don't we take you both
off the air so that he can express genuinely and
honestly what's going on, So that you guys can start
to get back to where you need to be for
your own family and I think that, uh, we will

(39:06):
do that now.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
I'm going to put you both on hold.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
So I don't think.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
I don't think he's cheating.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
I think he's struggling, but he needs to communicate to
his wife about the struggle because he needs to be
there for his family, right.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Or did he know it was us?

Speaker 2 (39:24):
You think that guy knew it was us?

Speaker 1 (39:27):
It's not out of my mind.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
I mean, Mikayla, you heard his voice. I think the
guy is like he didn't he was genuine.

Speaker 6 (39:34):
I think I think he was genuine. I think he
was telling the truth.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Whatever he's going through is going through it, but he
needs to go through it with his wife, like we
can be there for the family. Are you in traffic?

Speaker 3 (39:45):
I was just reading here that h this California city,
this one is the nation's worst to drive in.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
And it's not La. It's California city. It's the worst
in the nation to drive in.

Speaker 4 (39:58):
It's not that it is.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
California, Orange County. Uh No, it's actually Oakland. Oakland is
the worst city to drive in in the US.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Oh yeah, I forging about.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
That Bay Areas up there. LA ranked eleventh worst.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Not so bad.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
And Long Beach ranked twentieth worst not so bad but bad,
but still like I don't know. I look at the
traffic in LA and I'll go, that's eleven.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
That looks that looks like a two to one. Yeah,
it looks one to me.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
I look at Long Beach, I'm like, that's we Remember
we went from Orange County to LA to the valley.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yep, that was a one. We sat in some ones,
that's true, for sure someone.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
But getting two downtown and getting from downtown we were
in ones, not eleven's and not twenty.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
It was from Long Beach to Culver City that that
was the one.

Speaker 6 (40:42):
The one.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
Remember, every time we get back in the van, I'd say, okay,
how much time, Ronnie, how much time?

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Early in the morning, it was like fifteen minutes, yeah,
twenty right there. Then he's like an hour and ten,
Look an hour in ten. Whose idea was this?

Speaker 6 (40:59):
I know, but you know what I mean here.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
When I hear hour and ten, I hear opportunity for
bond bond.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Yeah I know, I couldn't read her mind. You hear
opportunity for us to get close and play the grocery. Ye, yes, exactly,
the grocery store game. You know you could have that sponsored.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
I bet I could you get your local You can
play it.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
At Albertsons Live. Tony's out playing the grocery game at Albertson's.
Come play today. Okay, let's go back to Ryan Rose
His Ruby's come in this hour. Systney's out, so we're
rotating everybody from the back room getting their own hour
and Ruby's coming in.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
On this one.

Speaker 3 (41:33):
We'll get a fresh take on Ryan Rose's from Ruby.
So we had Rosemary and her husband Nolan on the
line and no Avenue Baby. Okay, here's it, have neu baby.
He's disappearing a couple of nights a week. He says
he's going to the bar with his buddy. She doesn't
believe that. She finds a phone number in his notes
in his phone and she sees that he calls this

(41:55):
number all the time. Turns out he's dealing with an issue.
It's got a per issue. He's not going to the bar.
He admitted to that, and he said that he's felt
something and he's been trying to deal with it on
his own. So we believe he should have been speaking
to his wife, communicating to his wife because they're trying
to raise this new kid together. But I got a
second child and so disappearing doesn't do anybody any good.

(42:19):
But he wasn't ready to talk to her about it,
which now he is talking to her about it, because
we were on the air and they're talking.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
And I believed him.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
I believe he was genuinely saying, I'm struggling and I
know it's not right. I should be here, but I'm
trying to figure it out and I'm sorry, and let
me try and make it better.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
And I heard that and I believed him. Tanya, you
doubt that.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
I just feel he knew it was us. He just
answered very quickly, he was.

Speaker 3 (42:47):
He think, So, I think we're pretty good at detecting authenticity. Yeah,
And I didn't hear that. Ruby, you're in this hour
in the back room, yes, now in the studio, what'd
you hear?

Speaker 15 (42:57):
I just was kind of upset and like, where is
he Why is an me like supporting his wife, especially
if you guys just had a baby.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
But did you believe that he's like dealing with it
however he's dealing with him?

Speaker 13 (43:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (43:08):
I believed him.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
Yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 6 (43:11):
He seemed genuine to me.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
He genuine to me. Tony thinks he was putting up
a big act. Yeah he knew, Jenny st Gabriel, go ahead,
you're on with this. So many different thoughts here, so
many different moving pieces. What do you hear Ryan's roses?

Speaker 10 (43:25):
Yeah, I mean I feel badly for him. You know,
obviously he's going through through it. But I mean, isn't
it harder for the woman in this situation, Like shouldn't
he be there for her, supporting her? She just had
a baby. Like, I'm not saying he's cheating, but I
think her needs need to come first, and something's just
off about the situation.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Yeah, I I don't know.

Speaker 3 (43:50):
They need to start today right away with a direct, transparent,
honest communication. She needs to say what she's feeling and
how she got to this place being on the air
with us, and he needs it to come clean and
tell her what he's doing or where's he going and
why and then.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Start hopefully start working on it together. I believe him,
I believe her.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
I think this may be a breakthrough moment for them
to start on the right track and I'm hopeful of that.
Thank you Jenny for listening and saying Gabriel we appreciate it.
So that's Ryan's roses every single Monday, every single Thursday.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Here Kiss FM.

Speaker 13 (44:26):
On air?

Speaker 7 (44:26):
Where Ryan Sea?

Speaker 2 (44:31):
What is your love language? You remember mine?

Speaker 10 (44:34):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (44:35):
You were?

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Was he acts of service?

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Mark?

Speaker 2 (44:40):
But you just said yes, you remember?

Speaker 10 (44:42):
I do?

Speaker 1 (44:43):
It was either acts of service or words of affirm No?
His words of affirmation?

Speaker 2 (44:48):
What's yours? Ruby, Mine's acts of service? What's yours?

Speaker 11 (44:51):
Tanya?

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Mine's acts of service?

Speaker 4 (44:54):
All right?

Speaker 2 (44:54):
What's mine?

Speaker 11 (44:55):
Mark?

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Where's the affirmation?

Speaker 3 (44:58):
At least you got to know it. I should probably
memorize that. So you know, body language, there's love language. Well,
now everybody's talking about stress language. How do you deal
with stress? Stress language is the way you respond to challenges, right, Ruby, exactly.

Speaker 15 (45:14):
So if you've ever been in an argument with someone
and you just feel like you're both speaking different languages,
it could be because you have different stress languages, especially
if you're, you know, trying to deal with like a
difficult situation.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
So what are the different languages, Like, what are the
different ways that you language stress?

Speaker 15 (45:32):
So there's five categories of stress languages. The first one
is the imploder, So this is a freeze response to
a stressful situation. You feel hopeless, helpless and kind of paralyzed.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Well that's a panic to me, yes, exactly. And is
anybody an imploder here?

Speaker 1 (45:49):
I'd say I'm adjacent to that.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yeah, well, why don't we hear them all because we're
probably a combination of the Yeah, all right, so that's one.

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Okay, what's another one?

Speaker 15 (45:57):
The next one is the exploder, So this is fight
or flight responds to a stressful situation. You get irritable, frustrated,
or angry, or even just leave a situation that you
can can't handle.

Speaker 2 (46:08):
These are stress languages, that's for sure, Mark right to explode, Yeah,
for sure? Ye right, yeah, definitely. It's like the guy's
at lax like.

Speaker 6 (46:27):
When they're like.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Park here. All right, then all these are stress said,
love languages, stress languages.

Speaker 15 (46:33):
What's the next The next one is the fixer, So
this is this is definitely a people pleasing approach overstepping
boundaries and even mothering people who aren't your kids.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yep, definitely.

Speaker 15 (46:45):
What there's two more and the number as in you
numb yourself, right, So you're kind of trying to numb
yourself from the outside world when things aren't going well
and you distract yourself by overworking or over exercising.

Speaker 13 (46:58):
I think.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
I think I do that.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
This is ryan to a t.

Speaker 6 (47:05):
I mean, the first step is admitting it we're.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
Fine, but I like why, but it's not so bad.
We're working and we're exercising for us, right, And.

Speaker 15 (47:13):
Then the last one is the denier. So this is
toxic positivity and response to stress. So you're overly optimistic
to avoid reality.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Jobs, that's yours. This is my fiance also, he's a denier.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
Yeah, he's always just like, it's all going to work out,
It's all going to be great. It's all.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
It's fine, is it?

Speaker 3 (47:33):
But isn't isn't that positivity? What's the different in denying
in positivity?

Speaker 1 (47:36):
It's like it's like toxic positivity. You just like you
just say it's going to be fine, even though it
might not be fine, but it's like, it's fine, it's fine.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
I kind of would rather someone tell me it's going
to be fine, then someone tell me he's not gonna
be fine.

Speaker 15 (47:46):
I think you need the balance, right, especially if you're
someone who's like the opposite of that, you kind of
need that, you know, toxic positivity at times for all.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Right, So look up your stress language and figure out
we could be a hybrid.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Of a couple those Sisney is out sick, Tanya is.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
In for siciny And we could not believe the news,
as everybody who did hear it was shocked and devastated
by the tragic loss of KTLA's Sam Rubin, who had
been on ever since I moved here. I remember turning
on the TV and seeing that guy there, and if
you were trying to make it in show business and

(48:26):
you were invited to have a segment with him or
sit behind a desk with him at Channel five.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Oh yeah, at least you at least were moving in the.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Right direction of making it, because that was big time
for Sam Rubin to interview you on the KTLA Morning News.

Speaker 2 (48:41):
I was so.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
Nervous my first time there. I was sweating like crazy.
In the second I met him before we went live
on the air, I was calm.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
He puts it ease, he puts it in.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Ginger Chan, who obviously is with us every morning, actually
joining us right now outside of her normal segment, Ginjer
what there have been so many emotions.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
We were talking with Eric Spilman earlier this morning about.

Speaker 3 (49:06):
Yeah, the sadness, the shock, the devastation, the laughter because
his stories and he was such a character.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
Whats got through your mind as this sinks in.

Speaker 13 (49:18):
I mean, look, I heard you when you called in
live on Friday. Ryan talked about how you've just seen him,
you know, at Disneyland. We kind of joked right on
the air about Sam, and I mean, it's a roller
coaster of emotions when you see Sofi Stadium, you know,
with the fine for him. The Galaxy closted something over
the weekend in the City of Santa Monica Theater in

(49:38):
Calabasa's Sam's Reach. It gives me goosebumps just to say
that it was incredible. And I think a lot of
that was, you know, in many ways, he was an
everyday man at the same time he was Hollywood and
broadcast news royalty. And I think that the way it
happened is such a shock.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
And just we saw him.

Speaker 13 (49:59):
We saw him on the you know, walking up and
down the halls. You know, he and I greeting each
other all the time and talking about radio and whatever.
It is a lot of times we talked about boy
scouts and because his son is an Eagle Scout now
and my son is working his way to that and
so traffic. Of course with Sabanga cannon clues. Sometimes we
would talk about that or his community. Can I use

(50:19):
it as an excuse And it's difficult, especially you know,
happening on Friday. We had a couple of days to
process it. But coming back to work is important for
us to be there, but it's extremely, extremely difficult.

Speaker 3 (50:37):
He would always make us laugh because while he was
great about putting other people in the spotlight, he also
loved to be the center of attention.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
I mean the guy.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
The guy loved answering the question with me. It's me,
I could do it, I will do it, and he could.

Speaker 10 (50:54):
I mean.

Speaker 11 (50:56):
Right, I mean he he discovered you.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
By the way.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
I mean he did put me on for that live
portion early in my career, before I had done any
real live TV work in Los Angeles. Right, but he
would say things like, aren't you feeling better today now
that you've seen me?

Speaker 2 (51:13):
Aren't you excited at that?

Speaker 4 (51:15):
Right? He would do I mean tell.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Us some of the things that he would do on
the set, behind the scenes that were in that vein.

Speaker 13 (51:21):
I mean he you know, we have the stories of
how if you left your computer open, then he would
come and like, you know, write an email to you,
some secret email like how I've always had this love
for you, and then sign it to somebody else. You
would come back and be like, what is this? And
you know, if you were kind of knew, you weren't
expecting that, he would always come into my traffic center

(51:42):
and didn't matter if I was already on the air
with you or going to be live. It's like, so
I need to know about this commute, and you know,
all that stuff. And then he was also really every
day generous. When he knew that my son was gonna
was working his way to be eagle Scout, He's like,
anything you need, you know, camping stuff, whatever is we
have it, you use it. And I'm thinking we're gonna

(52:03):
have to use the same sleeping borg.

Speaker 10 (52:04):
I don't know about that at least.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
All of that, you know.

Speaker 13 (52:09):
And so he was very giving and generous, and I
think that's why he has such a region. Why so
there's such an outpouring of love. But you know, like
I said, it's at the end of the day, not
easy for us because just like you guys, we are
definitely a family. We all want the best for each other.
We're there for each other at you know, whatever events

(52:30):
and activities, and there is a lot of love and support.
And that's why I think that it is that much
more difficult because not a single person has said you're
a co worker or worker. It's always been you know,
loved your your k T L A family and that
is very true, you know, and going back really quick
to some of the other antics, you know, those are

(52:50):
the things. And then if there were suites around and
that kind of thing, you know, you you you knew
it was already.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Sad he did. He does this thing.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
It's a signature move where he takes the cupcake and
you tear off the bottom part and you put the
bottom cake part on top of the icing, so it
makes a sandwich, so the icing is evenly spread out
and it's genius.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
But did he teach you that?

Speaker 10 (53:12):
Yes, he taught.

Speaker 9 (53:15):
That.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
And he was so happy to be credited with the
inventor of that until was it who didn't give me,
didn't give him credit and Hathaway show and Hathaway didn't
credit him with inventing it, and he was all beside himself, that.

Speaker 13 (53:33):
Is, he saw himself as wait a minute, you know,
I deserve I invented that exactly. He will claim that
even distribution of frosting, which is genius.

Speaker 11 (53:43):
So you have to admit.

Speaker 13 (53:44):
I think the other thing I do want to say
that he's not really out there as much is he
was very tenacious and he fought for people who may
not have had the same kind of voice that he did.
And I think that was very behind the scenes. You know,
we've had incidents at the station and he, you know,
would go up to the top and he would make
sure that I don't want to say the little person,

(54:06):
but again, the person who didn't have his boy, he
made sure that that that person had the same voice
that he did. And that tenacity is really something that
you know, he was paying it forward and making sure
that everybody was equal. And well that's the big part
I will miss about him for sure, and I also
suspend it because of him. So yeah, a skit that

(54:29):
he asked me to do that I felt like, oh,
Sam's asking me, it must be okay, and.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
You guys got in trouble, I'll be in trouble. Oh
well wait, we have to go, but can you just
finish with what happened quickly?

Speaker 4 (54:41):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (54:41):
He asked me to do a skid. It wasn't really
an approoved skid, and management did not like it, and
they called all of all talent in and we got
we got our two shoes handed to us, and you know,
suspension like no pay for a couple of days kind
of thing, and get written up. I don't think I've
ever been been there sixteen years.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
They they joked, they did joke that his file was thick,
his fall is sick.

Speaker 13 (55:06):
But I have a file because now it's a badge
of honor, so I can say it that way.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
Well, Ginger, thank you for everything you do for both
our family and your family. And Channel five we'll talk
to you in just a few minutes.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Yeah, we love you.

Speaker 10 (55:18):
Thank you, love you too.

Speaker 4 (55:20):
Thank you. Channel five.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Wow doing a skit. We're going to run our skits
by people. I didn't think about that. We don't do skits.

Speaker 4 (55:29):
I guess.

Speaker 13 (55:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Good morning to call. It's Ryan and Tanya.

Speaker 16 (55:33):
How are you, good morning, guys. I'm good. I hope
we were chatting on better terms.

Speaker 3 (55:40):
I know we were talking about, you know, the loss,
the tragic and devastating loss of a staple here in
Los Angeles, and that is Sam Rubin.

Speaker 2 (55:47):
I understand you watched him a lot.

Speaker 16 (55:50):
Oh, Sam was a part of my everyday morning reach.
My dad would wake up, turn kat La on, and
that was essentially our alarm clock in the wing, you know.
And I'd watched for two reasons. I needed to get
the weather update to get dressed for school. And I'm
a pop culture fanatic, so I had to watch Sam
to get my celebrity entertainment news. Like we didn't have

(56:13):
Instagram growing up, so he was how I would get
my my celebrity thick. And I just think it speaks
volumes of you know, his personality to be able to
connect and engage and you know, draw in just like
such a wide range of age groups, from young people
to adults. You know, my parents loved him. I loved

(56:34):
him such a devastating last I agree with you.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
And his reports were always entertaining, and you really would
like be running late because you needed to see the
whole thing and then you could rush out to work
or school and we will all miss Yes.

Speaker 16 (56:49):
He was Oh, thank you. I just you know, I
wanted to say, I hope he felt his flowers because
he deserves it. And I think it's so important to
give everybody their flowers. Even you guys at the Kiss team.
You've been a part of my every morning from middle
school to high school, to college and now driving to work.
So thank you guys for being such a light just

(57:10):
like Sown was and bringing so much love and entertainment
for everybody in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
Well, thank you for the kind words, and we will
all miss Swatman. Thank you for calling. Take care, Nicole,
have a good day air on air with Ryan seas.
