Marty has a nose for news...

Marty's big time office at NBC

Marty sent me an email that I found very interesting. He basically was at what we in the TV news biz call 'Breaking News'. That's right, Marty is where things happen. He has a nose for news and is not afraid to use it. Have a read...

So I'm leaving work last night around 6:15 pm and I walk over to the corner of Alameda and Bob Hope where the NBC shuttle picks me up and takes me to the train station... As I get up to Bob Hope I notice that the police have the whole street blocked off with a motorcycle and marked squad car.. The motorcycle cop had to go up and talk to all the idiots who couldn't figure out that the road was closed and still demanded to drive down the street.. It's a pretty odd thing to see that many cops there and I figured it had something to do with the construction of a new high rise building that they are putting up on the other side of the street.. So me being curious and having nothing to do - I walked over to the cop and asked him if they were blocking the street off because of construction.. He just laughed and pointed behind him across the street and just about 50 feet down from the corner and said "No - we've got a different kind of problem here"... I looked where he was pointing and sitting on the curb behind a gold Suburban with blacked out windows was Snoop Dogg and about 3 or 4 other guys handcuffed and talking to some other Burbank PD undercover guys. I looked back at the cop and said "You've got to be kidding me"?... He just laughed and said "This is the fun part of my job"... And me standing there without a camera!

You gotta love the Burbank PD though - they waited until Snoop got done performing on The Tonight Show and drove down a public street before they busted him - even though him and his buddies were smoking hash in the green room all day..

Now I have already scolded him for not carrying a camera with him at all times, like I do, and most of you should also. He did snap a few with his phone cam but they did not turn out. Too bad because he could have had HIS pics running along side that article in USA Today. Way to go Marty.

I might also add that Marty told me he will be attending a party with Trump for the new season of the Apprentice. He says it is because that guy Burnett 'likes' him. Not a fan of Burnett, but I am a fan of where this party is being held...Wait for it....




THE FREAKING PLAYBOY MANSION!!!!!!!! I am not kidding you, Marty Frey, man of the people, guy who loves the Packers, beer, and burping and farting (not necessarily in that order). The guy who is producing the music track for TundraTalk, the Podcast that does not suck. The guy who kicks major ass. He is going to the Playboy Mansion. The FREAKING PLAYBOY MANSION!!! What guy, and my wife just does not understand this, has not seen video or pictures of parties at this place and not wanted to be there. I know we all have READ the magazine, but being at Hef's house at a party, wow. Marty you really have arrived.


Look how cool that looks

Just look at that old show Playboy After Dark and you can see that it was a 'who's who' at those parties. Stars, athletes, and MARTY all just chillin and having a cool beverage by the pool. Stay out of the grotto Marty, or not.

If you look back in history when you truly have made it in hollywood you get to hang with Hef at his rocking pad in the Hills. Marty must have really become a swinging cat to be invited. If he really rocks once he gets there he may be given a 'key'. The key will get you in when ever he wants. We know you can do it Marty. GET IT DONE!!


The Neon that made me feel guilt circa 1978

All this talk about the Playboy mansion reminds me of a story. Back in the seventies. Not sure when, but late seventies. My parents took us to Chicago. We stayed at a friend of my dads. It was somewhere in the Loop. Now what makes this a story is the fact that from the apartment where we were staying I could see the old Playboy Club in Chicago. Why is this interesting? Well simply for the fact that from all the stories and pictures I had seen and heard about that place I felt like if my parents caught me even looking at the huge neon sign on the building that I would get in trouble. That's right as a kid in 7th or 8th grade I knew that it was very cool/dangerous/risque to be at the Playboy club. Can you imagine how I would have felt had I been within sight of the Mansion? All that guilt for just looking at a sign.


Marty is going to party here

I only had one word to say to Marty after he told me this...

FU#@ING PICTURES. Of course Marty would not forget his camera for this one will he? Or will he?

Hey - I gotta be cool about this...

In my sick little mind - I see all kinds of "smiling Marty" pictures... But the only reason I've been invited is because crazy Mark Burnett likes me for some weird reason.. So I have to act like this happens to me all the time..

But trust me - there will be pictures of me at the Playboy Mansion - NO MATTER WHAT...

And of course you will see them here. TundraTalk, adressing what really matters.
