This is Need to Know.

Real talk about the reality of unidentified aerial phenomena.

From Australia, Ross Colthart, from U.S. Bryce Zabel.

Hello and welcome to Need to Know.

I'm Ross Coulthart from somewhere near Sydney, Australia.

And in Los Angeles, my co-host and colleague, Bryce Zabel.

You've been swanning it recently, Bryce, in the Emmy Awards, I noticed.

Lots of little glasses with umbrellas in them.

I mean, well, thank you for that.

It's been a fun time.

You know, here in Southern California, we've been going through the extreme heat wave, and it's been something to contend with.

Right now, for example, it's so freaking freaking hot and i'm in my own office right now

with and the ac broke yesterday so there's just one thing after another but i wanted to say um

you're so right uh the emmy season has been upon us for the last 10 days and um as as you know and

many of the listeners and viewers know i used used to be the chairman of the TV Academy.

And I did not know at the time I ran for that position.

I became the first writer since Rod Serling to hold the job.

I didn't know that you got lifetime tickets to the Emmys.

So I've been going to the Emmys every year.

I go to the Creative Arts Emmys, the Primetime Emmys, the parties. And I don't want to complain. It's great food, good fun, good entertainment, good people, but it's a lot. But, mate, the one thing I feel sorry for you about, because I was in Los Angeles, as you know, only a few weeks ago, is having to wear a penguin suit in that incredible Los Angeles heat.

If I was you, I'd be wearing what some of the women have been wearing,

a nice slinky little silk number.
