H. of the We’re Not Meant to Know podcast

I jump up.

He gets up like he gets up like it's nothing.

And he's got a part of that TV antenna in his hand, just like looking at it like, oh, I wonder if this got broken.

Is this a little bent?

And he goes right back up the ladder.

He should have been dead or paralyzed at the least.

I could still see his body going to the ground.

Definitely the best weatherman ever.

They had John Leo, the only weatherman in the history of TV to make you worry he was going to start crying on the air.

Oh my God, what was it with him?

He always looked depressed.

He was never happy.

There was no banter.

Yeah, John Leo, the sad weatherman.

That's what your station wants, right?

Jesus, it wasn't like being peppy when you did the weather wasn't a thing back in the 80s.

What I remember, and I'll never forget this, is...

It was very late 70s, probably, and when he did the forecast, he didn't have any tech behind him.

I mean, there was lights and stuff, but there was this big whiteboard thingy behind him with Rhode Island on it.

And he'd take a big marker, I mean, like an oversized marker, and he'd draw the temperatures really quick, really fast, right on the map.
