- steve693, on 10/12/2007, -1/+142Do women really talk this much in the bathroom? lol.
- Saintlink, on 10/12/2007, -1/+101We should make it mandatory to wiretap all ladies bathrooms in the interest for national security.
- DogzOfWar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+97I'm not sure, but I think the audience was clapping for Kyra Phillips' sister in law, who is apparently a control freak, dominating her weak-willed brother. (about 2/3 in) Hopefully they'll leave the mic on at Thanksgiving dinner to listen to the ensuing cat fight.
And boy, does she really zip up with gusto (little more than half-way). - nugge7, on 10/12/2007, -21/+101I was hoping for some poop drops. I was sadly dissapointed. :-(
- mastercheif, on 10/12/2007, -4/+81here it is
The audio of Phillips’ conversation could be heard overriding President Bush’s remarks approximately ten minutes into the President’s speech. While the President could be heard during the exchange, Phillips’ gaffe was very distracting:
Kyra Phillips: "–*****–Yeah, I’m very lucky in that regard with my husband. My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving, you know, no ego–[unintelligible] you know what I’m saying. Just a really passionate, compassionate great, great human being. And they exist. They do exist. They’re hard to find. Yup. But they are out there."
[unidentified woman]: ‘We’ll see. He’s going to come, you know, he’s set for an extended visit–[unintelligible]"
Phillips: "I mean, that’s, that’s how you figure it all out, those extended visits. [laughter]"
[unidentified woman]: "Yeah, but my mom, I think she really likes him."
Phillips: "Mom’s got a good vibe? Good."
[unidentified woman]: "Yeah, my brother’s the one that–[unintelligible]"
Phillips: "Brother–of course, brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I’ve got to be protective of him."
[unidentified woman–unintelligible]
Phillips: "Yeah. He’s married, three kids, but his wife is just a control freak."
[unidentified woman #2]: "Kyra."
Phillips: "Yeah, baby?"
[unidentified woman #2]: "Your mic is on. Turn it off. It’s been on the air."
Seconds later, Daryn Kagan stumbled through this awkward transition:
Daryn Kagan: "Alright, we’ve been listening in to President Bush as he speaks in, uh, New Orleans today. This is the one year anniversary of Katrina making land shore there. President Bush saying if another natural disaster hits, our country–we must, uh, react better than that. Let’s listen in once again to President Bush." - wibblewibble, on 10/12/2007, -0/+72Lesson here is, always treat the SOUND MAN in the CONTROL ROOM with kindness.
- therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -6/+77definitely more interesting than Bush talking!
- NJShadow, on 10/12/2007, -5/+61Man, I REALLY hope that Jon Stewart gets wind of this and it makes it on The Daily Show.
- dcgray2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+54
THAT was funny... I can just imagine the phone call from the brother as he cowers under his wife's deathgrip on his shoulder and reads from the script she prepared for him! - wibblewibble, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50Frank Drebin - Police squad.
- blogger1947, on 10/12/2007, -7/+55Haw! I'd love to have been able to understand the conversation in the crapper. Whatever the Prez had to say, I am certain it was predictable and not interesting.
Now if he'd been talking about kicking Ray Nagin's ass--different story altogether. - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47transcript ;-)
http://newsbusters.org/node/7247 - KingAdrock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47Was it the movie Naked Gun where the guy has a mic on and then take a massive leak? Now that would be hilarious.
p.s. that reporters next family BBQ is going to be awwwkward! - riah, on 10/12/2007, -4/+47"hoping for some poop drops"
Wow... just... you just really caught me off gaurd there. - mcottier, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39Dude, she is going to be in a lot of trouble from whoever was the "control freak".
- Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40I believe that's her sister in law, so that will make for some interesting uncomfortable silence on Thanksgiving.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+41You can actually hear her zip ur her skirt.
- manicdvln, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Did she even wash her hands? :/
- wibblewibble, on 10/12/2007, -2/+39CNN: getting to the bottom of things.
CNN: brining you the news where no man has been before. - eattoenails, on 10/12/2007, -0/+36Yeah I wonder why CNN didn't turn off her mic from the sound room. Probably thought it was entertaining :)
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37I've seen the Daily Show rip on CNN plenty. Remember how Crossfire got canceled after Jon Stewart as a guest of the show was critical of it?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fSDUQoM8G1k - Dested, on 10/12/2007, -5/+38haha I know, i go in, piss, leave. No chit chat, all buisness.
- 10001110101, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32Yes, I think so - about a third of the way in you hear a tap running.
However, I did not hear a flush. - IceSabre, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33Now THATS some reality TV. Wish we could have a hidden mike for the sister in law confrontation... lol
- Depthfunction, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32Awesome.
As embarrassing as it must be for her, it could have been a million times worse. She could have offered her opinion on any number of things or people. She's lucky she only bitched about her sister-in-law. - mt066, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26haha well good for her husband i guess. He got some nationally broadcast props there....but i was hoping for more sound effects.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+32I sympathize for the husbands of this nattering hens.
I don't understand why women feel it necessary to go to work and discuss their personal lives with their colleagues. Unless it's "man, I got so drunk last night" or "man, I banged this hot chick lastnight", we males don't sit around the office discussing relationships or life or anything else with our colleagues. They're coworkers - not our therapists. - mattkapp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Apparently she has a few enemies in the sound department at CNN. This would have taken 5 seconds at most to fix....somebody let it go on purpose.
- therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25The audio is better on this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fjxSoHgSN4 - gravylookout, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27Yeah, way worse!!!
"My husband is so small that when he passes out after 3 minutes in the sack i sneak off into the bathroom to finnish up with my giant dildo that I keep taped under the sink. Sometimes I bang the UPS guy just to keep things interesting. What's that? My mic is on? Awwww *****!!!" - overlordmead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Someone should really do something about these "leaks" to the media....
- DaMav, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27CNN brings the "public's right to know" to the edge of the envelope lol
- KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -4/+26The Daily Show is on break for this week and next
- rages4calm, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28I love how half way through the video you here a loud zipper going up.
- josegutz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Hey! Guess what? There's a position for a Kyra's personal sound man opened in the job search...I would'nt mind working for her.
- bbatsell, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22@NonPC:
It's clear that you don't watch the Daily Show. Stewart rips on CNN just as much as, if not more than, Fox News.
(Don't forget the whole Crossfire incident, either.)
Edit: A curse upon my slow typing. - geuisteses, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21I find it oddly reassurring(sp?) in many ways that the talking heads that earn their paychecks from CNN are actual people. People always have conversations like this. You never get to see the personal side of these people that sit in front of cameras and for once its nice to see them with their "professional image" down.
- Electrawn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24I bet Kyra Philips is protected by employment contract and the soundman and producer may be union.
Letting that much audio on TV is a bit towards gross negligence...who was not monitoring the broadcast audio feed? Someone else had to go into the bathroom and say shut the mike off?
Maybe when Bush speaks the staff of CNN has gone so far to the left it is smoke break time for everyone. (flamebait, I know) - jaredvolkl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Someone already updated her Wikipedia bio. That's awesome!
- GrendelT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19OMG SHE DIDNT FLUSH!! CNN IS CONTAMINATED!!1!
- opinionist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24Redefines 'Potty Mouth' ?
Hilarious. - JoeDonH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I work as an AV Director and the very first thing I show clients is how to mute their lav mics when they're not talking, and the main example I give as to why to make sure to do this is Frank Drebin in Naked Gun. I'm definitely adding this to the repertoire to change things up a bit lol.
- Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16And as a husband, he must have been really heart warmed from hearing that. That was an honest expression for why she loved him to another person, without any reason to flatter him. :-)
- rspeed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16At least she didn't sing.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Bush pauses so often in his speaking it's almost as if he knew he was being interrupted.
- scottykempf, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24could have been wayyyyyy worse if she had diarahea today.
"pppppppppppppp fffffffffttttttt oh god ohhhhhhhh jesuuuuuusssssss"
plop ploppppp faaaarrrrrrttttttt - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+24It's ***** "hear", not "here". God damn.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16or have an affair with the woman. ZOMG that would have been hilarious.
- treleung, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Yup, it's on different channels.. mute a channel.. problem solved.
- delhokie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12How CNN describes the program:
"Live From
From the headlines to the front lines, "Live From ..." takes you live to wherever the news is happening. Anchor Kyra Phillips delivers the full scope of late-breaking developments from the United States and around the world and also interview worldwide correspondents, experts and newsmakers to provide context surrounding the day's top events."
Apparently 'wherever the news is happening' has garnered new meaning now... -
