It’s officially official: Bryan Signs with LA’s KFI

Published by Karl under bryan suits

It’s a done deal. When reached via his ATT smartphone, Bryan commented that he, his wife and their (Bank of America) banker are “decidely ecstatic” with the agreement that KFI signed.

“Returning to the LA market ( via his brand new LA-mobile from Valencia Range Rover) has been a goal since I left KROQ in the 90’s. After detours in Reno, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Sarajevo, Portland, Baghdad, Monroe and Seattle, I realized that LA has the best of all of those delightful places! 

 Why me? I don’t know. Dozens of the nations top hosts wanted the coveted and rare opportunity at KFI. I got off the ( Southwest Airlines) plane without an aircheck or a resume, and I had the job the next day. I remember my new boss, Robin Bertolucci, saying ‘Number 18 station in the number 13 market?! …..That makes sense because you do some of most self-indulgent radio I’ve ever heard! But, you’re well groomed (BedHead) and you don’t steal…so take the job please.’

And then I’m all, ‘Okay.’  And she’s all, ‘Cool. When can you officially start?’

So I’m like,’ January 21st! Cuz I have to go home and pack our junk and sell my (Olympic Arms) assault rifles and take my favorite bloggers to Sport Restaurant to get loaded.’

And she’s like,’Wicked. I’ll tell R and R to stop the avalanche of applications.’

People have asked, ‘Does KFI stream?’ Stream!? Stream??!! You can hear it ON YOUR RADIO!!! From Costa Rica to Prince Rupert!! And it’s not even full strength!!”

Bryan then mumbled something about Trader Joes in Totem Lake, cheap Dutch beer and prosciutto.

Congrats Bryan!
