AT THE SPEED OF NEWS What's it like to wade through a viper filled swamp, oozing with aviation fuel, dead bodies, and trigger happy deputies? I've done it. What's it like chasing a sex offender through a business, making him say he's sorry to his victims while his coworkers watch in utter disbelief? Guilty as charged! My Name is Andy Cordan. I'm an Emmy award winning TV reporter. I've been shot at and spit on. I've chased corrupt officials and maniacal felons. I have argued with producers, fought with news directors and outwitted fellow reporters on the front lines. Sausage tastes good, but do you really want to know what it is made of? From fake news to celebrity news; I've covered it all. At the Speed of News takes you behind the crime tape where you'll hear the wails of a momma. It takes you to the editorial meetings where one man can dictate what a million people will see on TV. At the Speed of News peels back the broadcasting onion. It entertains, educates and gives news viewers a greater appreciation for the news product they watch and think they know.

With the cold weather moving in, and the days growing shorter and darker, I remember a recent trip to paradise. KEY WEST. I landed in Fort Lauderdale, rented a convertible and drove down to the southernmost point of the United States. As I was driving I though about the magnificence of this engineering success. A beautiful highway surrounded by aqua marine waves. It's 113 miles long, built in 1938. It rises high over the Atlantic ocean at points, affording me a vista that stretches to that place where the sky and the ocean meet in a single filament of time and space on the horizon.

A ROCK GOD IS DEAD.
He was timeless fury. He was finger plucking magic. EVH was a revolutionary music man who made the guitar his bitch and slayed a generation with power chords and signature solos.
Van Halen signified a time in my life when everything was plausible.
Now Eddie Van Halen has passed away, and a rock nation mourns.
Like millions, I have memories that will live forever.
Rest In Eruption EVH

SHOPPING WHILE IMPAIRED (S.W.I)
we've all done. it. You stop in the local super market to get one item. But you make the mistake of grabbing a cart, and the next thing you know, you're buying a riding mower and a side of beef.
I remember just such an SWI moment after an NCAA basketball upset.
I should have gone home.
Instead I found my self reading cheese packages in aisle 9

Remember a time before COVID 19 when we use to go to the theater and see a film. Remember the lights fading down and the music fading up and the chill that went down your spine as you munched on your pop corn and sipped your big gulp.Well back in the day, I saw the 9th film by Quentin Tarantino, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD. I wrote about the film after viewing it.As per usual, I found the story a little self indulgent. See what you think. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andy-cordan/support

America is angry. America is polarized. America is agitated and unwilling to listen to the other side. It's like a divorce where nobody will get divorced. Instead of going our separate ways and moving on, we stay in our secured camp of race, religion, politics and even covid mask persuasion.
We have to learn to tolerate each other and live with one another, but everyone is crazy.

When you are young and dumb and college student broke, camping in the woods in a tent near the ski hill sounds like a great idea. That is until, everyone else goes home to their ski chalet to clean up for a night of fun, and you retire to the woods like a racoon in a frozen dumpster.
This is the story of 2 dumb guy's will to ski on the cheap. Instead of sleeping with a snow bunny, we bedded down with a frozen pound of burger thatt would never thaw.

MOON UNIT. BRONKS MOWGLI. JER MAJESTY.
These are just a handful of the insipid names given to tiny babies by stupid parents.
Gone are the days of John and Jill.
Why name your child Bob or Barbara when you can name them a scientific formula like Elon Musk.
And God Forbid you name your kid Karen.

The day I moved my son to College brought back a ton of memories.
It reminded me of my first day at the University of Southern California.
That was in the early 80's. What a difference 4 decades can make.
I moved in an era of no cell phones, no internet or digital footprint.
He moved into a preordained existence of shangrila.
He and his roomate had facetimed and picked out shower curtains and towels.
What?
I moved into a smog ridden war zone of crime and hobos begging for money.
This is a story of two generations moving to college.

When I was young, we didn't have the internet. We had something better than the internet. We had a ball. A ball we could throw. A ball we could bounce. A ball we could shoot through a hoop.
Today's kids need an invitation to play catch.
This new generation, lathered in internet connectivity and video brain lock, don't know what they are missing.

JULY 20, 1969. It marks the date of the singularly most amazing thing humankind has ever accomplished.
Man Lands on the Moon! Many of us watched it live.
Everyone of us has seen Neil Armstrong jump off the lunar lander and proclaim "One small step for man..."
Well, it seems that NASA knows how to land a rocket on the moon, but not save video.
You heard me correctly. After all these years, NASA admits they have lost the original moon landings from 1969.
Taped over the originals they say.
Are you kidding? What did they record over the moon landing with? LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY!

Remember the movie the Breakfast Club? The vice principal in that film, monitoring detention for Molly Ringwold and Judd Nelson was an actor by the name of Paul Gleason, aka V.P. Richard Vernon.
Once at the crap table, I got hot with the bones, and principal Vernon spotted me chips to keep me throwing the dice.
It was the movie the hangover before the movie was even written.

Masks work great in a surgical suite. Masks are a great idea if you know what the hell you are doing while wearing a mask. But for the rest of us morons, masks are just a reason to touch your face with a contaminated hand. I say if you can protest without a mask, then you can do anything else without a mask. Open Up America. Breathe long hard and free!

The Corona Virus. Enough all Ready. So much talk, so much data, so much we think we know.
I don't think anyone knows anything.
The country is shut down and nobody even knows how to wear a mask.
People are acting like sheep listening to people who proclaim to have the answers.
Are you sick of the Corona Virus all ready?

Remember the 1st time you drove the family car with your dad hovering over you? Remember the anxiousness? The white knuckles? The indecision of the brake and the accelerator? Oh My God. Which is which.
This is a recount of the 1st time my 15 year old daughter drove our SUV through the city.
It was a Linda Blair Exorcist, pea soup spitting adventure.
