The Tom Leykis Show
The Tom Leykis Show began in 1994 and is currently produced by CBS Radio as part of its Free FM format with the flagship station KLSX in Los Angeles. Hot talk is a radio format involving a form of Talk radio geared predominantly to a male demographic between the ages of 18-49 The United States of America —commonly referred to as the KLSX 971 Free FM, is a talk Radio station in Los Angeles.

It is the Flagship station for the nationally syndicated Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West The show is broadcast Monday through Friday, 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM PST from Paramount Studios[37] in Hollywood, California and is heard in a number of major metropolitan markets on the West Coast of the United States. The Pacific Time Zone observes Standard time by subtracting eight hours from Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC-8) The " West Coast " " Western Seaboard " or " Pacific Seaboard " are terms for the westernmost coastal states of the Western United States
It is produced by Gary Zabransky, along with associate producer Dean "Dino" DeMilio, and is engineered by Art Webb. [38] Ironically Paramount Studios hit Leykis with a 'cease and desist' order and thus he is unable to identify the studio by name on the air. This is often satirized on the show.
The cornerstone of the program is the Thursday broadcast of "Leykis 101", in which the program is set-up as an ad hoc lecture and question & answer session, over which Leykis presides as a self-styled "professor". The subject of the "101" segments is how men can spend less money on women, while achieving greater sexual success. [39][14] Along with general information on life for young men, advice mostly consists of his principles of looking out for yourself and that the institution of marriage is flawed and biased against men. He constantly recommends that young men attend some form of higher education and not to be distracted by relationships or to marry at a young age as he did. The intent of his advice is to replace the father figure which many men lack, earning him the moniker of "Dad". He also denounces what in his words is a corrupt and broken child support system that does not require DNA tests and has forced men to pay money to women who lied before a judge for children these men did not father. [40]
A popular and long-running feature of the show is "Flash Friday" in which men are encouraged to drive with their headlights on and women are encouraged to expose their breasts to such vehicles. [41][2] The feature began as a one-time bit; while on the air, Leykis recalled a radio host he listened to as a child, who asked his listeners in New York apartments to flash their lights on and off and then to look outside to see how many neighbors were doing the same, as a way to gauge the audience size. Leykis asked his listeners to do the same with their car headlights, and a few minutes later, jokingly suggested that women flash their breasts. A listener called in to report that he saw a woman flashing fellow drivers, and it became a regular feature of the show. [42] Both women and men commonly call during the Friday broadcast to alert other listeners as to their location, and to recount stories of flashing or being flashed, respectively.
The show also uses sound clips which callers generally request after long conversations. A media clip is a short segment of media either an Audio clip or a Video clip. Callers make requests to be "taken out" in some style, such as, "could you take me out with a bong hit?" or "take me out Kobe style. See also Bong (disambiguation A bong, also commonly known as a water pipe, is a smoking device generally used to smoke cannabis, Tobacco Kobe Bean Bryant (born) is an American All-Star Shooting guard "[4] The practice of "taking people out" with use of a sound clip dates back to the early days of the show, when Leykis was working at a small radio station in Albany, New York. Albany is the Capital of the State of New York and the County seat of Albany County. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous Leykis would dispose of undesirable or tiresome callers by playing the sound of a toilet flushing while hanging up on them. The station manager found this offensive, and when Leykis refused to stop, he took the cart out of the studio. Leykis retaliated by re-recording the sound on another cart that he purposely mis-labeled as "dog barking", and continued playing it. The station manager became frustrated, and began harassing Leykis about it, so he began blowing callers up, which lead to callers asking for it. [42]
In 2003, Leykis named Katelyn Faber,[43] the accuser in the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case. The Kobe Bryant sexual assault case began in the summer of 2003 when the news media reported that the sheriff's office in Eagle Colorado had arrested NBA superstar Kobe [9][44] But the news revealed more intricate details such as race and masked photographs while excluding her name as it was the standard practice at that time,[45][46] raising privacy questions. Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively [47]
On June 25, 2003, Marty Ingels, a voice actor, called into Leykis' show and tried to challenge him on moral grounds. Events 524 - Battle of Vézeronce, the Franks defeat the Burgundians Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. Marty Ingels (born Martin Ingerman on March 9, 1936[http //www Voice acting is the art of providing voices for animated characters (including those in feature films television series animated shorts and Video games) and Morality (from the Latin la moralitas "manner character proper behavior" has three principal meanings Ingels, who was much older than the typical caller to Leykis's show, was subjected to some rude remarks by the call screener who said that he was old too and shouldn't be on the air. Talk radio is a Radio format containing discussion about topical issues But the call did get put through, at which point, Leykis too began to insult Ingels, adding that "you're not just older than my demographic, you're the grandfather of my demographic". [48] Leykis explained that he didn't want older callers because he was selling advertising to the younger demographic, stuff that usually didn't sell to people Ingels' age. Ingels sued the show for age discrimination. Ageism is Stereotyping and Prejudice against individuals or groups because of their age [48]
Ingels's first lawsuit got dismissed, by an anti-SLAPP statute (CCP S 425.16) that protected against lawsuits that protects first amendment rights and another judge claimed that the show had the right to control its content. A Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (" SLAPP " is a Lawsuit or a threat of lawsuit that is intended to intimidate and silence critics by burdening The First Amendment to the United States Constitution is part of the United States Bill of Rights that expressly prohibits the United States Congress Further, it was noted that Ingels couldn't really complain he was discriminated against because his call was in fact put on the air. [48][49]
As for Ingels, he had to pay $25,000 in attorney's fees. [48][50]
Another widely publicized event took place in November 2006, when a listener from Ahwatukee, a city in the Phoenix metro area, called the show, and confessed to shooting the father of her child when he refused to pay child support. Ahwatukee (formally "Ahwatukee Foothills Village" is an L-shaped neighborhood of Phoenix Arizona bordered on the north by South Mountain Park and Baseline Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, Leykis denied that the call was part of a hoax set up by the show, and producers turned over any information they had to local police. [51] The caller, a nurse, who went by her middle name, Sue, said that she shot the man in the heart with a 9 mm because she "knew how to aim for it", and made the shooting look like a suicide. [52] About a month later, former talk show host Geraldo Rivera asked Leykis about the incident on his Geraldo at Large syndicated television program. A talk show ( American) or chat show ( Global) is a Television or Radio program where one person or group of people come together to Geraldo at Large is a United States Television Newsmagazine, hosted by Fox News correspondent-at-large and former Talk show [53] Geraldo: "So what was your first reaction when you got this call?" Leykis: "I was shocked. You know, people call talk shows and say all kinds of things, but they never confess to murder. "[53]
Talkers Magazine analyzing Arbitron data show that Leykis has an estimated listening minimum weekly cume of over 1.

Arbitron ( is a Radio audience research company in the United States which collects listener data on radio audiences similar to that collected by Nielsen Media In the practice of measuring the size of US commercial broadcasting and newspaper audiences cume, short for "cumulative audience" is a measure of the total 75 million for Spring 2007 based on a national sample.

Lycos is a search engine and web portal centered around broadband entertainment content [56]
For early 2008, Leykis had announced radio ratings at various angles. Among the 81 radio stations in Southern California the show was #9 overall, #6 in English stations, and #1 for time spent listening. Southern California, or So Cal, is defined as the southern portion of the U Phonology North American English regional phonology In many ways compared to English English, North American English is conservative in its Phonology. Time spent listening ( TSL) is one of the measurements surveyed by Arbitron in determining ratings for radio stations in the U Among men ages 18+, adults ages 18-34, and "the money demo" ages 25-54, the show was #1 in time spent listening with an average of over 4 hours per week, in addition to being #1 in share for men aged 18+.

Personal life
Leykis has been married and divorced four times. [7] One marriage was to television reporter Christina Gonzalez who was caught cheating after Leykis investigated some receipts he found. Christina Gonzalez is a news reporter currently a reporter for FOX 11 ( KTTV) [3] Another marriage, which lasted a year, was with a Seattle woman in 1989,[15] who was a listener of his show. [3] On December 22, 1993, while married to Susan, who first met Leykis at a Los Angeles Kings game,[3] he was charged with "felony assault and battery and threatening to commit a crime"; a police officer found bruises and scratches on the woman.

In August 2004, Leykis was attacked outside a Seattle bar, causing him to require 17 stitches over one eye, and leaving him with scratches and bruises. The assailant reportedly had an accomplice who accused Leykis of calling him a name and hanging up on him when he called the show, when the other man kicked him in the face. [58]
