This California resident clearly has his priorities in order.

During a live report on a massive fire outbreak in the Los Angeles area, KTLA reporter Courtney Friel approached the topless man and his dog to interview them about the incident. He may not have had much to say about the fire, but he certainly gave her the soundbite of the year.

"Hey you're really pretty, wanna go on a date sometime?" the man asked, as the camera rolled live.

Friel expertly attempts to remain professional but even her camera guy seems to veer away in response to the awkward exchange.

The fear of an approaching fire can't compare to the flames in this guy's heart.

UPDATE: Fries shares her feelings on her new-found viral fame.

For this viral moment- wish I wasn't wearing my photog's XL windbreaker, pebbles/bambam hair, face caked w/ash + dripping mascara!— Courtney Friel (@courtneyfriel) May 1, 2014
