"good evening im ken bastida, dana is off tonight. He was murdered and then set on fire while celebrationg his birthday, John doe died blah blah blah "
It could be the introduction followed very quickly by a clause to begin a new sentence.
"filling in for Dana."
"He was murdered and then set on fire while celebrating his birthday...now his family is seeking compensation for what police say is the most brutal attack in yadayada"
Because Daana doesn't sound like a "he" [Dana (male) is pronounced Day-nah]
It's just so many words that you never expect to be put together in one sentence....someone was "off" of work....but was "murdered" AND "set on fire" on their "birthday"??????? So many twists and turns in such a short amount of time.
Dana~ "Hey guys, this is Dana.. I can't come in today.." ...Boss~"Why not? " Dana~"Well last night, I was celebrating my birthday and some douche thought it would be funny to murder me and then set me on fire.." Boss~"Wow, people these days! Well, get plenty of rest. Don't get out of your coffin too much" ;)
The saddest part about this video is that we are all laughing about it even though someone was indeed murdered and set on fire while celebrating his birthday ... even if it wasn't Dana.
I live in the bay area and this dude fucks up all the time i remember watching one day (not my choice) and he said "Unfortunately no one was killed" XD
This is actually a producer error. The producer should have scripted a camera turn with an over the shoulder graphic to separate the intro from the first story. It's also a bad idea to begin a story with the word "He."
dee dee dee dun dun dun dunnn ... good evening I'm Ken Bastida. Dana is off tonight, he was murdered and then set-on-fire while CELEBRATING his birthday!
-I'm Ron Burgundy?
-God dammit people, I told you if you type it in to the prompter Ron Burgundy will read it!
