Was it just me or was the meteorologist drunk on Channel 7 at 11:00 pm. He seemed to have slur speech and almost tripped. Anyone else see it??

I heard it was a delayed feedback.

**Scottathew** · November-13-13, 09:01 AM

Video or it didn't happen.

Bill Bonds is doing the weather now? Did he challenge old man winter to a fist-fight?

That's the same excuse Mary Sue Coleman used. She sounded drunk to me.

Yep. I don't think she'll get canned; although her and most of the WDIV staff should hit the skids. Good ole Chaz LeDuff has already set the bar in this town for what stations will put up with. I don't even a sex tape would get her fired in this town now.

Didn't Podell spin discs at WLLZ before his days at WRIF?

**Newdetroit** · November-14-13, 11:22 PM

He was drunk again tonight lol....He had the hiccups and said "I swear I wasn't drinking...I only had water" Seems like my suspicions were correct,,,

WWWW before it went Hillbilly/Cowboy

I've still got some cassette tapes I recorded when he would play an entire album side and do a commentary/review.

**Baselinepunk** · November-15-13, 07:31 AM

Yes, but I thought for sure that he was at 'LLZ when it first launched. Probably wrong; it's been a few years since.

**Meddle** · November-15-13, 09:35 AM

Coulda' been. Don't remember and can't see to find much information either way.
