SO IF YOU LIKE MYSTERY AND INTRIGUE you should like, sort of, the ramblings coming out of KGO ...morning anchor, Natasha Zouves, is the source of many stories at 900 Front; she's been off the air for over three weeks now and fellow mate, Jessica Castro has been filling in.

But why?

This is the rumor and it's a doozy!

Source to me:

 You won’t believe this but a can of hair mousse exploded on the set and Natasha for whatever reason walked on her stilettos through it, slipped, fell and is claiming disability and is off until the middle of the month

The official word is there is no official word.

Supposedly, Zouves has other mysterious medical maladies but there's more to the story because many of my ABC7 sources talk real fast and seem uncomfortable about the Zouves situation like it's some major deal with people in disgust shaking their heads although we don't have all the facts yet. This could all very well be another one of these stories or not; I'm told that we should know more substance next week. In the meantime, enjoy fluffy and puffy, Countess Castro.

*MEANWHILE, across the bay the suits have told the little people to avoid talking about me or Pam Cook or they could face some severe consequences; like watching Gasia Mikaelian do "The Nine" for a week and that's real torture.

The GAAS! 
Gasia and Pam: they're everything. The gossip yentas of KTVU and they're not even that that big a deal; maybe compared to Sal Castaneda and Mark Ibanez, yeah, sure thing, but other than that? GIMME a break!

POTENT POTABLES

*Gary Radnich last night on KRON: "Tiger shoots his highest score of year, 66 at Bridgepoint Classic" ...only problem Raddy, it was his lowest score at Bridgestone --Jesus Christ, wake up!

* A most unintentionally hilarious half hour on KGO last weekend: the alleged cad and "celebrity" chef was talking on the phone with his buddy, Ronn Owens.

Ryan Scott is a laugh a minute and I'm being kind. Only problem is Scott is not funny and barely knows food let alone dating and schmoozing with Ronn about the Kardashians.

By the way, Ronn should be embarrassed chortling with this clown but I guess any way to stay on the air is his MO and therefore a reason he's reduced to talking to a fool like Scott. Birds of a feather …

*Ronn has been telling people that he's close to coming back on the air but so far, I haven't heard a word. If Jack Swanson takes the PD position at KGO, there's a 50-50 chance. Jack knows Ronn but Jack also knows that Ronn is not the same Ronn but anything's better than ETHAN BEAR! Man.

*Final Scott: Scott, as I have said before, takes FAKE calls when he does his shows (which are taped by the way) only there's never a time when listeners are told the program is a taped show and not live.

On the other hand, why let facts get in the way of a good story.

*A gag order at KTVU is like telling See's employees they can't eat a piece of candy on the job. Good luck with that.

As a reader pointed out, I get more information now from KTVU than I can handle.

Again, thanks Pam. And the leaks keep on a comin'

*Compromising pictures of various anchors and reporters is quite interesting and makes for another interesting fact check so I'll be on assignment from time to time in the coming days.

*Gary and Anna Chavez: really?

  1. Is she pregnant? It sounds like morning sickness between the hours of 5AM-10AM, but 2AM, a possibility. Adding on staffs shaking their head, a bigger possibility but we will wait for Rich to confirm. No rush, I prefer and support Jessica all the way up showing the passion of good professional reporting. For Natasha, she can be the next Veronica Da Le Cruz not coming back for weeks which is fine. We will wait for the news from Rich!

  4. Rich, thanks for the info regarding Natasha Zouves. I actually like her news delivery and her visuals are through the roof! I know you don't like her, but hey, she really is good! Please keep an eye on this story. I inquired myself with KGO, but as you said, nobody is talking about it. Much appreciated, Rich!

  6. Radnich thing makes no sense. Thought he said it's black or white, but nothing in between for him.

  7. According to Ryan Scott, everyone is his "buddy." He annoys the crap out of me. I can't listen anymore because Top Chef has gone to his head. He sounds so phony. Are any of his restaurants still opened? You're right, anything is better than Ethan Bearman, forcing me to listen to other stations. Don't let me start on Dr, Drew.

  8. Ronn Owens, a man desperate to get back on air at KGO.
    Ronn, whatever happened to retiring gracefully?
    30 plus years of spinning records is enough.

  9. *Gary and Anna Chavez*
    That is actually common knowledge.
    Radnich once hinted at such flee many years ago.
    But what do you expect from the coolest vato in bay area radio?

    1. That's the suggestion of a visual that positively makes me want to vomit.

  10. Glad you brought up Bearman. What a dultz!

    I can listen to his show on Monday and again on Friday and it will be the same drivil. Bash Trump, Bash Trump, Bash Trump administration.

    He drones on and on aout nothing and on and on and on and on. You get the point.

    I'm no fan of Trump to be clear but bearman is a lunatic playing a part. Acting. And most of you don't get it! What does that say about your critical thinking? Not much.

    He is in LA and broadcasts from an LA studio, not the Bay Area but pretends to be a part of our community which is insulting to me. KGO insults me as well letting this fraud go on.

    He is great about calling out a hypocrite yet Bearman was all right wing when subbing for Sussman on KSFO. Hypicrite? Yep. The worst kind and in his own words, "I can be whatever you need me to be."

    The guy is a worm and all you fools that buy his crap are fools. Live with it.

  11. To add about Bearman, obviously this is a change that came from upstairs because he's abandoned his silly health/kale diets, sister holistic vet, Asian temple philosophy, weird author moments that most times made no sense and were so short you got no insight, etc, etc.

    Again, he said "I can be anything you want." Lifestyle? got it, Conservative? got it, Liberal? got it.

    If you all don't get it, then mosey on to a lemmings life. And you will.

  13. Oh, the Gaas is adjusting her glasses. I thought she was indicating the size of something.

    1. Lisa had an accident about a month ago and will be out for a while. If you "Like" her on Facebook, you would know that.

  15. Natasha slipping on chocolate mousse is much sexier visual Rich!

  16. Hair Mousse explosions don't happen in Radio news....

  17. I like Natasha, and Jessie Castro is more mush-mouthed than Lynn Swann. Have yet to see her make it through a single segment.

  18. I have been "away" from Bay Area radio for nearly 20 years, so most of the names
    in your scribblings are unfamiliar to me. I don't really care...and I absolutely don't
    care about all the sports crap, but c'est la vie... But, I must say two things about
    former KGO radio folks. (1) Ronnnnn Owens should HANG IT UP...it's over...his
    show died many years ago. And (2) Don't be too hard on "the Doctor" who died
    recently. He did an interesting show, and - off the air - he was a great guy, even
    though I heard he once threatened to punch out another host. He didn't do it,
    but it caused ripples across the radio pond.
    Again, I'm out of touch with a lot of your reports....time tends to wound all heels...
    but keep it up. As the President says, "Fake News ain't cutting it."
    Thanks.
